The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 108: Headless Horseman Fish Tank, You Deserve It
On the second day after the Dullahan's attack, a rhythmic scream was heard in the guild.

It was Zun Zun who was beating Duster in revenge for what he did yesterday... No, the two of them were just having a friendly exchange and learning from each other to improve their skills.

While the two were getting closer, Aqua and Sato Kazuma came to the guild.

"we are coming!"

"Zun Zun, is there something you want us to do? ...By the way, what are you doing?"

Sato Kazuma looked at Zun Zun's foot on Dust's face, and he was rolling it back and forth hard. He really couldn't understand whether this was bullying or a reward.

But if it was Darkness who was eager to try, then it would definitely be a reward.

"Wait a moment."

Zun Zun said something after seeing the two of them, then lowered his head to look at the scumbag thugs under his feet and said, "Oh, damn Dust, listen to me! If you dare to do something secretly next time, I will definitely use my size 36 boots to kick your size 86 hip circumference ass hard! Do you hear me? If you hear me, get out of here!"

Dust nodded hurriedly and quickly slipped away.

After Zun Zun had vented his anger, he had a relieved expression on his face, which made Sato Kazuma realize that this was not a reward.

Of course, he also understood that this was purely Dust's own fault. Who made him push Zun Zun out as a shield when the Headless Horseman attacked?

The Headless Horseman was not defeated.

He must have escaped.

In the world of "Sonoharu", monsters defeated will be displayed on the adventurer's card. However, no matter whether it is Zunzun, Huihui, Youyou, or anyone else, there is no monster called the Headless Knight on the adventurer's card.

This means he is not dead.

As expected of a Demon King Army cadre, he was incredibly tough and tough. Not only was he weakened by the purification magic and water magic, but he also took two powerful explosion magics. Yet, he is still alive...

Sato Kazuma has already begun to give up the unrealistic idea of defeating the Demon King.

"So, what do you want from us?"

"Ah, I have a commission for you to do."

"us?"

Sato Kazuma and Aqua looked at each other.

Soon, Aqua raised her head and said triumphantly: "Hehehe, it seems that you also understand the power of me - the water goddess Aqua! Since it is a specific request, it must be something that only I can do!"

"That's right, this is something only you can do. This commission belongs to you!"

“Hahaha! See, Kazuma? There are still people who know my power! Okay, just tell me what the mission is!”

"Fill in the holes in the plains."

“Woo——!”

As soon as Zun Zun finished speaking, the stupid goddess almost cried out of grievance, while Sato Kazuma laughed out loud on the spot.

The law of conservation of smile, the smile does not disappear, but is transferred to other people's faces.

Sato Kazuma even teased, "Aqua, that's great. This is a commission that belongs to you alone. You must do a good job."

“Waaaaaa——!”

Aqua was so angry that she started a fight with Sato Kazuma.

The two of them fought for a while, and then -

"I won't do it!"

Aqua crossed her arms angrily and said, "I'm a goddess! How could a goddess do something like that!"

"20W Eris."

"……Eh?"

"If you fill the holes in the plains, I will give you a bounty of 20 Eris."

"make a deal!"

Aqua decisively took Zun Zun's right hand and slapped it hard, then, as if not giving him a chance to regret, she ran out of the guild without looking back.

You have to know that she was locked in a cage for seven hours and bitten by so many brutal alligators, and she only got 15 Eris (half of which was given to Zun Zun and the others). How could she not be tempted by such an easy job?
"That guy..."

Sato Kazuma sighed helplessly.

Maybe in his opinion, it would be a loss of points for a goddess to do the job of filling potholes. No, considering that Aqua wasted precious skill points on civil engineering skills, she was already disqualified as a goddess.

“Kazuma, you too.”

"what?"

"If you also help fill the hole, I'll give you 20W Eris too."

Who do you think I am! I'm an adventurer, how can I go back to doing that kind of work! ?

——Although Sato Kazuma wanted to yell loudly, Zun Zun had given him too much.

"I'll move around a bit, too."

He swung his arms like a brave man ready to fight the Dullahan.

Just when Sato Kazuma was about to leave and catch up with Aqua, Zun Zun suddenly said, "Kazuma, you have to thank me for saving you."

"Rescue? Oh, oh! You mean when I was being chased by the Headless Knight's minions. Thank you, my dear." Sato Kazuma thanked him decisively.

"It's not this... Never mind, it's nothing."

That's not what he said.

According to the original script, although Sato Kazuma and his team defeated the Dullahan, the Stupid Goddess summoned a huge amount of water that destroyed the city wall, so they should have received 4000 million Eris, but instead they owed million Eris as compensation for the city wall.

Now the Headless Knight has not been conquered, and similarly Sato Kazuma and the others don't owe any money. Zun Zun indirectly saved their lives.

Although he did not defeat the Dullahan, the guild gave Zun Zun 50 Eris as a reward for defeating the Demon King's army cadres.

Yesterday's battle was truly brutal.

The big pit on the plain blocked the way in and out of the town. Logically, it was not Zun Zun's job to repair the plain, but the damage was too severe this time, and Zun Zun felt bad and took out 40 Eris to give to Aqua and Sato Kazuma, asking them to help fill it up.

Anyway, both of them have rich experience in civil engineering, so it shouldn't be difficult.

As for where the Headless Horseman is now...

jingle--

The door was pushed open.

"Welcome...ah, it's Zun Zun!"

When Wiz saw the person coming, a gentle and bright smile appeared on his slightly pale face.

"Hello, Wiz."

Zun Zun greeted her, looked at the store and said, "Where is that?"

"it's here."

Wiz pulled out a fish tank from under the counter.

The fish tank is not big, only 50 centimeters wide, with a spherical bottom. Strangely, the fish tank does not contain ornamental fish or aquatic plants, but a knight's helmet.

Zun Zun fished the helmet out of the fish tank.

"Hello, Mr. Headless Horseman."

"W-what...it's you..."

The voice is weak.

If you look closely, you will see that this is not just a helmet, but a head.

That’s right, it’s the head of the Headless Horseman.

Zun Zun only blew up the headless knight's body, but did not blow off his head... To be precise, at the moment when he was about to be blown up, the headless knight threw his head out with force.

He thought he could escape quietly, but since he had no legs and could not move, he was discovered and captured by Zun Zun.

Knowing that the undead were naturally weak to water, Zun Zun soaked the Dullahan's head in water to weaken his abilities, leaving him no chance of escape.

Not long after being out of the water, the Headless Knight regained his spirits.

He shouted, "You, you bastard! You can kill me or chop me up as you please, but you are insulting me by doing this! This goes against the spirit of chivalry! Just give me a quick death!"

"I don't want to. And I told you, I'm not a knight, but a great wizard."

Zun Zun rolled his eyes.

The current Dullahan is a monster weaker than the giant toad. Even a novice adventurer can easily defeat him. However, Zun Zun brought him back not to humiliate him, but——

"As I said before, what do you think, Mr. Dullahan? I aspire to be the Demon King, the most supreme, kind, benevolent, and powerful Demon King. Mr. Dullahan might as well be my subordinate."

"I do not want."

The Dullahan refused decisively.

Zun Zun liked him very much, so after bringing him back, he kept trying to persuade him, but with little effect.

"I am only loyal to the Demon King, and I don't consider anything else!"

"Really? What a pity."

Zun Zun's eyes glowed dangerously, and he threatened: "Then I can only ask Mr. Dullahan to continue bathing in the fish tank."

"You, you... a despicable villain! I really misjudged you! You are a born evil Crimson Demon brat...!"

The head in my hands kept shaking.

Zun Zun handed him to Wei Zi and said, "Please take care of him, Wei Zi. Remember to change his water every day."

"Okay, I know."

Wiz smiled widely.

The Dullahan said in fear: “Wait, wait! Wiz, let’s have a good chat. Aren’t you also a cadre of the Demon King’s Army? Come on, let’s have a chat!”

"Mr. Beldia likes to take a bath."

"……Eh?"

"After all, every time I go to take a bath, I can see you in the bathroom. I guess you must like taking a bath very much. Please don't worry, I will change the water with the most suitable temperature for you every day, hehe——"

"Wait...! I don't like taking a bath. That's revenge, just revenge! I, I... Gululu!"

Wiz pressed his head into the fish tank.

Looking at her sinister smile, Zun Zun couldn't help but shudder. Although she looked gentle and weak, no one could stop her when she got angry.

And the Dullahan wasn't lying.

He is not an LSP, but is really seeking revenge.

The cause was that more than ten years ago, the Dullahan, a cadre of the Demon King's Army, met with Wiz's team. He cursed Wiz's companions to die in a week.

In order to lift the curse on his companions, Wiz turned into a lich with the help of Vanir, and then tore apart the barrier of the Demon King's Castle with his bare hands, and beat several cadres of the Demon King's army, including the Headless Knight, to the ground in agony.

Later, Wiz signed a contract to become a cadre of the Demon King's Army. The Dullahan, who was beaten to the point of nearly ascending to heaven, was so angry that he kept harassing Wiz as revenge.

But the Headless Horseman has also relented.

He said that he was only loyal to the Demon King, but what he really meant was that it didn't matter who the Demon King was, he would be loyal to whoever was the Demon King.

But it was impossible to let the Dullahan go, that would only cause trouble for himself. So Zun Zun decided to keep him and wait until he became the Demon King.

And the witch Wiz...

Zun Zun doesn't plan to recruit him. It should be said that neutral characters cannot be recruited. This is common sense in the game... Just kidding, he just can't bear to disturb Wiz's peaceful life.
