"Since you're also on the scene, you probably know what the adventurers are guarding against. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info If left unchecked, the city would be destroyed, so I'd like to invite you to help us fight the elemental disorders. ”

I motioned to the Waste Demon Sword, who had a shocked expression after hearing this, to be quiet and straight to the point.

In this city, there are only two people who can stand up to Anya on their own.

One is Balder, the candidate of the Karakuri Demon King, who may have the strongest legion combat ability in the Demon Realm, and the other is the dragon lady who is so strong that Balder is helpless.

But whoever is in it should have their own means of solving Anya.

According to Ah Shu, there is not much difference in the strength between the demon king candidates, and the difference is only the focus of the ability.

After all, they are all existences standing at the top of the Demon Realm, and even the former King of the Undead, who is known as the closest to the [Demon King's Throne], has also suffered a lot of defeats from other Demon King candidates.

That Miss Dragonman and I didn't cross paths, and now we can only hope for this strange Karakuri clan.

But it didn't matter to him what the undead wanted, the question was how to draw him into the battle from the sidelines.

"I see, Eshuin wants to fight against the elemental disorder......

Hearing this, Baldel paused for a moment, then sat cross-legged on the ground, pinched his chin suspiciously, and said:

"Originally, my generation did not intend to meddle in the internal affairs of the undead, but since it was the request of you, who was also very interested in my generation, it was not impossible to consider participating. So first of all, the first question, why do you want to fight against the elemental disorder?"

"Fame. I need to successfully destroy the Elemental Disorder to become a hero of Rixel and gain prestige among the undead. ”

I looked with determination at Baldel, who had been prepared for the line with determination.

――The truth can't be told.,If you know that the skeleton opposite you is a competitor in the Demon King position.,Then even if you appreciate it, it's impossible to help.,It's better to kill them all while the opponent is still weak.。

But even if you don't tell the truth, there is a reason why the demons who don't know the truth will never think of it......

"The undead are still basking in the brilliance of the previous king of the undead, and their bodies have long since decayed and need to be infused with fresh blood. If you help us, after successfully overthrowing the current Lords of the Dead, I will consider uniting the Undead with the Karakuri Creation. ”

A reasonably realistic blank check.

Baldel, who was still sitting cross-legged, was silent, but seemed to be somewhat interested, so I continued:

"As you can see, I also have various reasons for the need to overthrow the undead now ruling class. And it's not nonsense, including this Ancient Bone Dragon, we have other powerful partners who share the same ideals. ”

As a candidate for the Demon King, Baldell should know the relationship between the elemental disorder and the undead.

Moreover, since the Holy See had been able to learn about this through the oracle a few months ago, it was not impossible for Baldel's status to know that the successor of the previous king of the undead had appeared.

And if the undead king had a successor, it would have been logical to recover the undead, not to overthrow the ruling class.

But that's why-

But there is a little bit of information that can be used, which is known only to a very small number of high-level leaders even in the forces of the undead, and the subordinates of the former undead king and his chosen successor are already incompatible, and will not allow the other party to exist.

As a candidate for the Demon King of other Demon Divisions, it was a bit of a coincidence that he traveled at this time and appeared in the Undead Division.

Although it is possible to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, the true significance of his trip is not discussed for the time being, and the choice to come to the barren Undead Partition may be the original purpose of wanting to know some exclusive information.

It is almost impossible for Baldel, who can come up with hundreds of millions of gold coins by relying on material interests, not to mention that we don't have that much money.

But if it's to help us, who are rebels......

It's true that the Demon Realm is a whole, but it's not peaceful inside.

Regardless of the different policies of the rulers of each sub-district, the conflict between race and faith alone will not be simple.

Even if he didn't have to empathize, as a rival, he would be happy to see civil unrest among the undead. Helping a force grow, if not deadly, but which will undoubtedly cause trouble within the undead, is a bargaining chip to ask him to help.

"Hey, it's a wave of war...... Eshuin has indeed touched my generation. Interesting, really interesting!"

I don't know what to think, Baldel's doppelganger trembled slightly with excitement -

"Our generation's admission of Ai Xiuyin's words has made our generation very moved. However, I have decided that I will only act as a traveler on this trip, and although it is unfortunate that I as a traveler do not intend to get involved in the battle between the clansmen. ”

He had been very interested in the topic of starting the war a moment ago, but suddenly but calmly shook his head and refused.

How, how could this be, it can't be that I was wrong......

Could it be that this guy really didn't think about these things at all, and that it was just a coincidence that he came to the Undead Zone, and set off simply because he wanted to travel?

Damn, I didn't expect this guy to refuse for such a reason.

No way......

"That means you're not going to meddle, I see, then at least I hope you don't interfere with our actions. ”

Just when I was about to give up on letting Baldel, who was a factor of instability, join in--

"Partner, don't worry, although I don't know why I invited this Karakuri of unknown origin, but don't make up my mind yet, this guy exudes a dangerous aura all over his body, unlike the aura that a guy who is only ready to watch from the sidelines should have. Isn't it, weird dolls?"

The Waste Magic Sword, which had been standing on my shoulder, jumped to the ground, walked slowly to Baldell, and patted him on the leg.

Hearing the Waste Demon Sword say this, the corners of Baldel's mouth curled slightly.

Nodding to Spendham, he got up and looked in the direction of the wall, took off his top hat and put it on his chest, and said:

"Of course, as the bone dragon said, Aesiin. It would be torture for me to be unable to personally participate in such an interesting event even though I knew the inside story. My generation has admitted that I will protect any demon who may become my interest, and of course I am willing to help. But there are two conditions, one is that the incident has nothing to do with Baldell, and is the work of a passing adventurer. ”

In other words, take your responsibilities off.

Having said that, he is also a character who can represent other demon divisions, and it is indeed inconvenient for him to meddle in the internal affairs of the undead.

Everyone is a disgraceful character......

――No way, although I don't want to be greedy for this reputation like a hot potato, but if he doesn't agree, no matter how much he is tempted, he will not do it.

I waved for Spendam to come back, then nodded and promised:

"The reputation of this matter will be fully accepted by us, and we will announce that you are my friend, but will not reveal your specific information. We'll take care of the memory problem on the adventurer's side, and no one will remember that your abilities ever appeared. ”

"I am not mistaken, it is a pleasure to talk to a wise man. Then there's the second thing. ”

Then, without hurry, he raised his right hand, stretched out his middle and index fingers, and put them in front of us, saying:

"Since I am helping you as a traveling adventurer, it is worth the fame you gained for defeating the elemental disorder. I want to be paid in the same way as a mercenary!"

It's a reasonable request, but can we pay for inviting the Demon King Candidate to fight together......

As if seeing through my troubled question, Baldel smiled and said:

"From the perspective of our generation's first-class vision, if you want to invite a mercenary who has the strength to crusade against the elemental disorder. It's not worth the same amount of gold as a normal gold coin, but considering that I'm looking forward to the growth of Aeshuin, I have a good proposal......"
