The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 265 I want to be a knight, I still have dreams

When a violent explosion came from under the Sage's Tree, Natsuki Subaru's body flew freely in the sky and fell heavily to the ground like a rag. Emilia screamed loudly and ran towards him.

Zun Zun watched everything.

"...You really are going too far, kid."

"I don't understand what Mr. Parker is saying."

"You obviously discovered the time bomb a long time ago, but you still pretended not to know. Don't you think that's too much?"

"We are the same in this respect."

The kitten's soft fists kept hitting his cheeks, and the touch of the fur was quite nice.

It didn't seem angry about it.

Originally, Parker didn't notice that there was a time bomb hidden in the dragon carriage. It was Zun Zun's frequent glances at the bottom of the carriage that made him suspicious.

There's no way. The place where the magic power gathers is too conspicuous. My attention is unconsciously drawn there. Even if I tell myself not to look, I still can't help it.

The reason for no reminder is very simple.

——No matter which world or time period, a hero saving a beauty will never go out of style, and this will also be an opportunity for the two of them to reconcile.

"What does Mr. Parker think?"

"I……"

Parker was looking at the man and woman in the distance, especially at Natsuki Subaru who was lying on Emilia. Although he was always laughing, Parker had never recognized Natsuki Subaru until now.

That's right, never.

Because Parker puts Emilia as his top priority, and Natsuki Subaru always makes Emilia sad, how can she truly accept him?

"But even so, I can only protect her. After all, Liya likes her."

"what is that?"

“It’s the mentality of an old father.”

"Watching your own cabbage being eaten by a pig?"

——! ?

Parker's eyes widened. He was already very cute, and this look made him even cuter.

Seems surprised.

I don’t understand whether Zun Zun admires Natsuki Subaru or hates Natsuki Subaru, since he obviously plays a very crucial role in this hero-saving-the-beauty drama.

"You don't hate Subaru, do you?"

"No, quite the opposite. But you know, there are bad friends among men. They worry that their brothers will have a hard life, and they also worry that their brothers will drive a Land Rover."

"I see. It's the damn jealousy of men."

Parker nodded seriously.

But in the end, it chose to guard silently, just like the contract it had made with Emilia - it would not interfere with her life and thoughts, but would only guard her silently, and once she died, it would begin to destroy the world.

By the way, the price of the contract is that Parker has the right to decide what Emilia wears every day.

"Originally, I could have recognized Subaru through this incident, but when I thought about how this was premeditated, I became unwilling to accept it."

"But you have to admit that Subaru would risk his life for Emilia."

"……you're right."

Parker nodded seriously.

Then it waved to Zun Zun and floated towards the two people, saying something before leaving.

"You seem to have a terrifying affinity with elves. I wonder what those little guys will become when they bloom... I'm looking forward to it."

"Ah, just look forward to it."

Zun Zun said with a smile.

The effect of the body of God is beyond imagination.

You have to know that there is a limit to the number of contracts a spirit sorcerer can sign. If the number exceeds this, the spirit sorcerer will lose control and go crazy. Even Julius, who has the protection of the Temptation Spirit, can only contract 6 spirits at most.

Zun Zun could feel that he was far from reaching his limit.

However, he no longer chose to continue signing contracts. Six elves with all attributes were enough. If he signed too many elves, it would instead divide the resources and delay the pace of development, which is the so-called biting off more than you can chew.

At the same time, voices were heard behind him.

“Since Mr. Parker praised me, I seem to understand why Subaru said that… No, I should have admitted it frankly when I saw that lightning magic.”

“…Julius?”

Turning around, he found that the best knight was looking at him with a melancholy expression.

Julius was very sad. When Parker saw him, he just said "good" and then said nothing.

However, perhaps the strongest existence among the four great elves in the world is so optimistic about Zun Zun - an elf warlock who has just signed a contract. It would be pure self-deception to say that he has no ideas.

"but……"

After he looked at the destroyed green grassland, he said sincerely: "I also want to see how strong your spirit will become if it blooms."

That was the will to fight and the look of someone wanting to make an agreement.

Zun Zun is not a coward who runs away.

Faced with the challenge from the best knight, he gladly accepted it and agreed to wait until the elves of both sides blossomed before trying to see who was the stronger one.

"By the way, is that Thunder Sword move of your Honorable Master a new move?"

"Oh, are you planning to steal my skills so soon? That's not the case. Actually..."

The two elven warlocks communicated with each other.

They all learned a lot from each other. Because of the attack by the Witch Cult, they had to stop to fight back, and after destroying the enemy, they began to reorganize under the Sage Tree.

Phyllis continued to treat the wounded.

Others carried the wounded onto the dragon carriage.

Many people were at a loss as to what to do with the fallen Sage Tree. Normally, they should have taken the tree back, but now they really didn't have enough manpower, so they finally chose to temporarily abandon the tree here and gather people to take it back later.

When Natsuki Subaru learned that he might be convicted by the kingdom for blowing up the tree, his expression was quite ugly and he was laughed at by everyone.

And Zun Zun was listening to Otto's complaints.

After all, not only was he left alone in the village waiting for pick-up, but he also later encountered the mad Bishop of Sloth, and then had a thrilling off-road race in the forest. Needless to say, the experience was extremely thrilling.

Otto already regretted agreeing to the respected knight.

Yes.

He felt a little guilty for forcing him to do this.

You have to know that some people, even if they have strong talents, will just stay in a small mountain village and live a lazy and peaceful life every day.

——That’s what the Crimson Demons are like.

Well, since Otto doesn't want to be a knight, and Zun Zun doesn't want to force Otto, and he is about to leave this world.

A new solution was proposed based on various combinations.

"Otto, you don't have to be a knight anymore."

"……Eh?"

"When we get back, I'll ask Reinhard to help you get out of your position in the Kingdom Knights and give you a large sum of money. Don't you like being a businessman? Then go and pursue your dream. With your qualifications, you will definitely become a top businessman. Or, I can introduce you to Anastasia? Mr. Russell from the Kingdom Chamber of Commerce would also be fine."

Zun Zun said a lot.

These are all excellent options for Otto, and they are also the options he once dreamed of.

If he could get in touch with Anastasia or Russell, becoming a top businessman would be a piece of cake.

Moreover, Otto did not necessarily have to be involved in the king's selection. In a certain timeline, he became an excellent businessman and had transactions with the evil Natsuki Subaru.

Under his own arrangement, Otto can fully pursue his dream.

however--

"what is that……"

"what?"

"You always say these things without thinking, and force me to become a knight. Now you say you want me to become a merchant... What is that... Do you think I am, a toy that you can throw away at will?!!!"

Otto seemed to finally be unable to suppress his inner anger and grabbed Zun Zun by the collar.

The grey eyes were wide open, giving off a very oppressive vibe.

This guy is really hard to understand. He is usually timid and acts like a coward, but he becomes super scary at times like this.

"So! This is all your fault. You messed up my life. You have to take responsibility!"

"Don't say such misleading words!"

Zun Zun grabbed his wrist and threw Otto to the ground over his shoulder, making him whimper in pain.

The fight between the two attracted the attention of others.

"Are you serious? I'm doing this for your own good."

"…What do you mean by for my own good? Didn't you say that I had the talent to become a knight? Didn't you say it was for my own good?"

Well!
Can't refute.

Otto's cry left Zun Zun speechless for a moment. It seemed that he really said that at the beginning.

"Ahh, I know I know."

Scratching his head helplessly, Zun Zun said seriously: "If you give up this opportunity, you will never be able to escape again."

"I want to be a knight. I still have dreams."

"You can't do anything about it. Well, I'll use you to death."

"Yes! I'd love to!"

Otto grabbed the hand that Zunzun offered him.

Otto was a businessman, but in fact he was helpless. When the nobles issued an assassination order, he had to leave his hometown and seek refuge with his father's acquaintances to become a businessman. It didn't matter whether he was a businessman or not, it just depended on what his father's acquaintances did.

If he is a shoemaker, he is a shoemaker; if he is a carpenter, he is a carpenter.

There is no choice.

Fortunately, he actually had quite a talent for business, so he was able to barely break even or make a small loss even in extremely bad weather and various unexpected accidents.

But can he still be called a businessman if he keeps losing money?
He has been plagued by bad luck since he became a businessman four years ago. Despite being warned by his master, he still went ahead and bought large amounts of oil, which led to him being on the verge of bankruptcy.

When he was about to be reduced to slavery, he respected his own talents and transformed himself into a noble knight - even a knight who was a candidate for the king's election.

So, how could he not devote everything he had to the person in front of him?

That's right!

What's wrong with doing dangerous things? Doesn't it better reflect your own value?!
"Otto, are you really Duem?"

"what?"

"Look, you clearly said no, but your body was very honest. In fact, the more excessive the request, the happier you are... Do you have that kind of fetish?"

“…That’s not the case!!!”

Otto's screams echoed across the plain, causing laughter from others who were eavesdropping.
