"My name is Kilgaru, and as you can see, an undead from the Grand Canyon in the south."

With a little apprehension in my heart, I tried to speak to them in a calm tone as I could.

Lanka subconsciously protected Nina and Kilo behind him, and I read the confusion and uneasiness in his surprised expression. Nina, on the other hand, didn't show much fear, but kept staring at my cheeks, which made me a little strange, because as a skeleton, I didn't have a choice of facial expressions, so there was no need to be so close-looking.

At first, Kilo seemed to want to hide behind his sister, but after some kind of ideological struggle, he finally stood strong in place, although his feet were a little trembling, but as a child, it was quite a heroic performance.

"Carter, no, Lord Kilgaru, since you are from the Labyrinth of Death, were you responsible for the Goatmen's assault? What is the purpose of your coming to this country? ”

It was expected, but I felt a little disappointed after hearing Lanka's wary words.

"The goatmen's previous attacks have nothing to do with me, although they are indeed my subordinates now, and if they come here, they don't actually have any special purpose, just to learn about the human situation here."

"So, what about after understanding? Do you want to destroy this place? I've heard that the undead are inherently enemies of humanity. ”

"This, I didn't think about it so carefully, Lanka, if I wanted to destroy this country, I would have done it a long time ago, whether you believe it or not, I just want to get along with humans."

Lanka was silent, obviously not fully believing my words, after all, if it were me, I wouldn't easily believe the words of a skeleton, as an immortal who represents evil, it is not an easy task to clear the name.

It looks like it's going to be tough, and I can't help but furrow my non-existent eyebrows at the thought of it.

"I believe in Lord Kilgaru."

I didn't expect it to be Kilo who broke the deadlock, and he stepped forward to me, "May I ask if you are the monster who gave us coins?" ”

"Haha, you remember."

"Thank you." Seemingly proud of recognizing me, Kiro smirked and bowed politely.

"Thank you for keeping the promise and returning Sister Anlia to us, and I will honor you as my master."

Nina knelt down to me gratefully.

"Nina, Kilo, what's going on? He's an immortal, he's a monster! Don't be fooled by him! ”

The scene seemed to throw Lanka's mind into a tailspin, and he couldn't decide whether to believe me or not, and he began to scream loudly.

"Lanka, it's okay, although Lord Kilgaru is indeed a monster, but he is also Mr. Carter, I believe that Mr. Carter and Mr. Eir, who helped us, are not bad people."

Nina turned to Lanka and smiled. This beautiful smile seemed to have a calming magic, which calmed the emotional Lanka all at once.

"Yes...... But......" Lanka still hesitated, "then Il, are you also a monster?" ”

He turned behind him, trying to find a basis for Il's identity.

"No, I'm human, Lord Kilgaru is very powerful, and he is indeed a monster who likes humans and can be trusted."

Ilr nodded affirmatively.

"Brother Lanka, although Lord Kilgaru looks a little scary, he hasn't hurt us."

Kilo also joins the team that persuades Lanka.

Looks scary? Ahem, I feel so hurt, I can only comfort myself with children's words.

"Hey, although intellectually I think it's better to draw a line with you, but sure enough, I still want to choose to trust you. After all, you don't have the need to show us who you really are, and it should be easy for a monster as powerful as you to destroy this country. ”

After a sigh, Lanka finally chose to believe me. My worries were finally relieved.

"Thank you for your trust, it's really fun for me."

"So, Mr. Carter, no, Lord Kilgaru, is there anything you need us to do to show us who you really are?"

It's like Lanka, and his intuition is quite keen.

"That's true, but I can't say what it is, in fact, the Grand Canyon on the border with this country is now my sphere of influence, and I have built a village inhabited by many monsters in it, so I hope everyone can live in peace, and Lanka can be a bridge between us."

With a smile in my heart, I held out my hand to Lanka.

"It's not so easy to get people to accept monsters, especially the nobles. But if we can live in peace, as Lord Kilgaru said, it will be a good thing for us in the Principality of Basol. I'll try hard. ”

Lanka's eyes sparkled with hope for the future and he took my outstretched arm.

I put on my mask again and walked out of the forest with the rest of the group, when a villager came running up in a panic.

"Lanka, it's not good, something is wrong! I have just returned from the market town, and I have heard that the lord has gathered a large number of troops and headed for the royal capital under the pretext of General Balikav's treason! ”

——————————————————————————————————————————

I'm going to make this country strong!

Ballycalf looked at the empty sky, and the grand wish he had made when he joined the army came to mind.

The weather at that time was the same as today, cloudless and sunny. I must have been quite young at that time, maybe about the same age as Lanka.

It was good at that time, even if I had nothing, but at least I would move forward for my dreams, and I wouldn't be full of doubts like I am now.

Can the country really become stronger?

It seems that the ideal country is getting farther and farther away from itself, and it is no longer out of reach.

"General Ballykaf! What are you going to do, don't go, come back to me! I order you to retreat! Fall back! ”

The king, stopped by the last loyal soldiers, let out a wail, but Balikav turned a deaf ear.

Kodev III was really a very talented king, and if it was under his leadership, there should be hope for the country. So in order to protect him, I will sacrifice my life!

"Your Majesty, please make this country strong!"

Afraid that he would cry guilty for failing to protect the royal capital, Balikav did not look at his king, but closed the palace gate behind him.

It's irresponsible to entrust someone else with a dream that you can't achieve, but there's no way around it. What was once a high-spirited young soldier has become a tired general with heavy steps and a dusty face.

Although he reached the outer city as fast as he could, the garrison there had already betrayed, and the nobles in the city had also defected, and the decisive battle had already been defeated before it began.

It's really ridiculous, I once thought I was the best general in the whole country, and the last battle of my life was so embarrassing.

Facing the rebels in front of him who flooded the entire palace, Balikaf had a wry smile on his face.

"Ballycalf, today is your time of death!"

In the distance, Delnis, sitting in a luxury carriage, shouted triumphantly.

"I'm afraid you're the one who is going to die today!"

Ballycalfe pulled out a clear box.

Having turned so many innocent villagers into monsters, he is destined to go to hell, and before that, at least the culprits of this cholera country will also be dragged to hell.

Then, let me turn into a demon and devour the turbid current of this corrupt country!

Ballycalf put the red spider in the box into his mouth.

"Boom", the throat made a swallowing sound.
