CHAPTER XVIII

Have you ever heard of the Demon King who saved the world?

Alone to save the entire continent, no, maybe the demon king of the entire planet, you heard it right, not to destroy the world, but to save the world.

What does this demon king look like?

Dressed in pitch-black armor and holding a flaming blade, his mount is the strongest hydra in the Demon Realm that is several hundred meters high.

He is worthy of his name in this regard, and he has the same equipment and strength as the Demon King, but he is different.

He has great power, surpassing the armies of the mainland. But he did not plunder excessively, did not take excessively, and the cities he attacked were neither bloody nor full of corpses. Because he has only one purpose.

That's ...... Let the people of the Demon Realm have something to eat.

The environment of the Demon Realm is very difficult, and the living conditions are even more severe, so that even the noble princess of the Demon Realm cannot eat a piece of cake or drink a sip of clean sugar water before she dies.

Not to mention the people who are struggling to live and die. Gradually, among the common people, there was a custom that relatives and friends would be responsible for eating the body of a person after his death, and they wept, chewed, and prayed.

If they could, no sapient creature would eat the corpses of their companions, but they were compelled to survive.

And that was the former demon world, a world abandoned by the gods.

—————— excerpt from the prologue of the Legend of the Demon King.

Diana closed the book in her hand, and the cover of the book was written in the lingua franca of the continent [Legend of the Demon King] The book cover seems to be an oil painting, although it is a little shabby, but it can barely be seen that it is wearing

A demon king in black armor holding a magic sword.

"It looks pretty majestic, but isn't it a little short?"

Diana sighed casually and placed it in her backpack, which was a little too large for her height, and stood up and stretched, which contained the princess's belongings and a change of clothes, and of course a few heavy novels pressed under the box, which was the opening of one of them.

From the folded pages, you can see that the novel is absolutely unthinkably old.

"Roland, she really likes that demon king......"

Maybe it's because it's too comfortable to stretch your waist, so you won't care if you accidentally expose your belly. Besides, there's no one else here, is there?

That's what Diana thought. The fire on the fire in front of him for heating grew smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a green smoke swaying in the wind.

"The ruins of the Demon King......

Diana tidied up her wrinkle-free maid outfit and looked northeast on the Silver Heron Plain, the morning glow gradually appeared in the sky, and a vibrant red light danced in the distance, as dazzling as the Demon King's flame blade in that novel.

"Let's hope there won't be any mess."

She had always stayed away from such adventures, and if she hadn't been inexplicably forced to embark on this thief ship, she might not have been happy now.

"233 vigil is hard, there is still some time before departure to go and sleep for a while."

The maid's cold voice came from behind, and she draped a cloak over Diana's body.

"It's okay, after all, I'm just in the middle of the night, and I'm very energetic, and besides, I've been used to it this summer vacation for a long time."

The head maid: "Yes, then please go to the river to fetch a bucket of water and come back."

Wow, you're really not polite at all, shouldn't you be tough and let me rest at this time? It was just a polite remark just now, don't take it seriously, hey!

In the end, Diana still carried the bucket to the river, which is a small stream about two meters wide, the gurgling water is crystal clear, after all, there is no factory pollution in another world, and there will be no problem with drinking the water here.

【Ding Dong!】 Hidden mission triggers! 】

"Huh??" Fetching water is also a task?

[Task description: The early bird has worms, and the plan of the day lies in the morning, and the child who sleeps lazily can't even get candy wrapper.] 】

No nutritious nonsense Diana skips it directly.

[Although that's the case, it's important to figure out who is a worm and who is a bird. Requirements: Escape from the Earth Bear]

Seeing this, Diana instantly raised her head, and a brown bear standing up and three meters tall was lazily walking across the river to drink water.

Like its appearance, the Earth Bear C-rank Monster has rough skin and thick flesh, amazing attack power, and quite good defense, and its skin is generally used to make swordsman's leather armor.

It's morning, and Diana will never believe that this bear just came out to relieve himself and drink saliva and go back to sleep, just like the mission introduction said that the early bird has worms, and the early brown bear will not be unlucky.

Diana's mind was thinking frantically with the brown bear's eyes, such a short distance was no different from handing food to its mouth for the demonic beast Earth Earth Bear that was slowly revealing its appetite in its eyes.

Cold sweat wet Diana's thin maid outfit, her body was still wrapped in bandages at this time, and she glanced at her MP Although it was full, the red tube HP that represented life was only three-quarters, and the bear's heavy slap estimated that it only took one blow to put herself down.

The monster earth bear stretched out its barbed tongue and licked the tip of its nose, expressing great satisfaction with the food that was about to arrive.

"Yo...... Good morning~"

Diana slowly stood up and raised her right hand to greet the earth bear. I'm going to run away while it's not prepared to smear oil on the soles of my feet, but after all, it's a Warcraft and not a human, and the difference between humans and Warcraft is only wisdom in addition to its strong body and magic power, and if it's a human, this plan to delay time should have a great chance of being implemented.

But...... If you are facing this kind of monster that is just for the sake of satisfying your stomach, the best way is to run away without looking back except to hit it!!

At this moment, Diana regretted two things.

The first is that he shouldn't have come out to fetch water just now, and the second is that he shouldn't have greeted it to wake up its chaotic brain that had just woken up!!

"Howling !!!!"

The Warcraft Bear let out a howl that was very consistent with his identity as a Warcraft and rushed towards Diana, who had already prepared to escape, naturally would not sit still, clasped her hands together on the ground, and something like a hurdle in the Olympics rose from the ground, which was a simple roadblock that she used to make with the additional alchemy in her panic.

Although it is of little use to this bear, it will somewhat stop its charge.

Then Diana took out the speed of the 100-meter sprint and ran back, and she didn't even forget to put down the bucket in her hand.

In the process of escaping, for some reason, Diana suddenly remembered something that was once considered common sense by many people.

If you are chased by a bear, don't run away, lying on the ground and pretending to be dead is the best option.

"No matter how you think about it, it's all said by the bear!!!!"
