Chapter 190

The Crimson Demon Village, situated in a basin terrain, viewed from the slope looking down, reveals a beautiful village surrounded by rice paddies, with paths crisscrossing.

"That is the Crimson Demon Clan's village."

"It's quite pretty."

"At a glance, it's the kind of village that is very prosperous."

Darkness, from a Noble's angle, gave an evaluation of the Crimson Demon Village.

"Because there are no Nobles here, the Crimson Demon Clan also doesn't need to pay taxes to anyone, so it's prosperous."

Wiz explained in one sentence.

"Haha, that way of putting it is practically saying that Nobles like you, Darkness, are blood-sucking parasites clinging to the common people."

Aqua took the opportunity to tease.

"I am not a blood-sucking parasite; Nobles protect commoners, commoners support Nobles, this is the exchange of rights and obligations between Nobles and commoners."

Darkness defended with one sentence, but still agreed with Aqua's words, because in this world Nobles who firmly uphold the Noble code are not many; the majority of Nobles really are just blood-sucking parasites clinging to commoners, lording it over them.

"Adult Crimson Demon Clan members are almost all Archmages; the villagers here don't need Nobles' protection, they can protect themselves, and even frequently form teams to go find trouble for the Demon King, like throwing various Advanced Magic at the Demon King's Castle..."

"Ho, the human elites who defend against the Demon King Army?"

Aqua suddenly perked up.

"Uh, from what I understand, if the Crimson Demon Clan didn't go bombard the Demon King's Castle with Advanced Magic from time to time, the Demon King Army probably wouldn't actively attack humans."

"Ha, how is that possible, the Demon King Army is just Evil!"

Wiz didn't respond; she only felt that the old Demon King of this era was also quite pitiable after becoming a Demon King Army Executive.

As an elderly Demon King, having the Crimson Demon Clan come near the Demon King's Castle to hold picnics from time to time, bombarding the Demon King's Castle with various Advanced Magic, the nature of it was no different from having someone throw stones at your house, and even having your windows smashed from time to time.

"Ah, unknown Travelers, who are you all, and what is your purpose, peeping at the ancient Sealed Land here?"

Just then, a figure whose body was wrapped in bandages, with a black cloak on the outside, suddenly appeared before Broly and the others.

From the other party's voice, it could be heard this was a male not of great age, yet he turned his body sideways and used an operatic aria tone to question Broly and the others' identities and purpose.

"Ah, we are..."

Wiz was just preparing to explain their identities when she was interrupted by the bandage weirdo raising a hand.

"Don't speak yet, let me do a Self-Introduction first; I am the Gatekeeper of the Sealed Land, the Guardian hidden beneath white things, the Hound of the pitch-black night..."

"You're Papato, right? I'm Wiz, we met when we were kids; by the way, is your father not doing the Gatekeeper work anymore?"

Wiz recognized the bandage weirdo's identity, and without waiting for him to finish his Self-Introduction, directly started catching up with the other party.

"Eh, so it's Wiz..."

Papato's address for Wiz hadn't left his mouth before it was grabbed by the Lich lady's Undying Grip, clamping his mouth shut.

"Call me Big Sis Wiz or Miss Wiz, thanks~"

The Lich lady leaned close, smiling narrowly, lowering her voice to say.

Papato: "..."

"Miss Wiz, my father has already retired; currently I am the Crimson Demon Clan's number one Gatekeeper."

"Then what are the Guardian and Hound?"

Darkness asked with some curiosity.

"When I keep watch I'm also responsible for Alert Level work; sometimes I also have to repel monsters that Accidentally Approach near the village; calling it Guardian is no mistake, right.

And once a powerful monster Approaches our village, or the Demon King Army comes to attack our village again, I'll send out warning movements in Advance.

Isn't that very much like a watchdog? But saying 'dog' directly sounds too unpleasant, so I took the nickname Hound.

Right, 'pitch-black night' is an adjective; I'm only responsible for guarding the village Main Gate during Daytime; as for night, that's other people's responsibility."

The Crimson Demon Clan youth introduced the meaning of his nicknames, with a look of 【Aren't my nicknames awesome】, looking expectantly at Darkness this Outside Village girl.

Darkness: "......"

Somewhat awkward, but the other party stared straight at her; it seemed if she didn't speak, the other party wouldn't proceed with subsequent actions either.

"What awesome nicknames."

Papato was very Satisfied.

"Right, Miss Wiz, you all came this side this time to Purchase goods, right?"

"Mm."

"Then I'll send you all to the Village Entrance."

The bandage youth spoke and snapped his fingers; a Teleport Magic Circle similar to when they came appeared again.

Wiz and the others at the basin Edge were taken by him and Teleported to the Village Entrance.

"Welcome to the Crimson Demon Clan's village, honored Customers, please enter."

The Gatekeeper bowed slightly; as he spoke, the incomparably imposing village Main Gate behind him also slowly opened, revealing the Path leading into the village.

"This village's welcome is very Solemn, but why do I feel something's off?"

After entering the village, Darkness spoke her inner thoughts.

"Because Crimson Demon Clan people really like to act cool and show off in front of Outsiders, as if they'd be uncomfortable if they didn't do so; this causes many Crimson Demon Clan members to forcibly do some Strange actions in front of Outsiders."

Wiz hit the nail on the head stating the reason Darkness felt something was off — that sense of incongruity. "Moreover, Crimson Demon Clan people almost all don't know how to speak in a normal Tone."

Wiz was doing popular science, and her words were quickly Confirmed.

"It's an Outside Village person."

"Haven't seen an Outside Village person in a long time."

"Looks like it's time to let the Outside Village person know my prestige~"

After entering the village, they ran into some red-eyed Villagers.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar faces that had appeared in the village, those villagers became somewhat eager for action.

A male villager wearing a conical hat and carrying a fish basket on his back was the first to approach.

After drawing near to this side, he suddenly fell to the ground.

The fish basket on his back also toppled over from the fall, and two large fish were thrown out.

"Are you alright?"

Darkness looked at the person who had fallen before her and hurriedly asked.

"I'm fine, thank you. Ah, I only fished for half an hour and caught these two big fish..."

As if to check whether the big fish were injured, this person deliberately displayed the large fish, which had already rolled their eyes back, before the outsiders.

"These fish were already dead before they fell out."

Broly reminded the other party.

"Haha, little friend sure loves to joke. Hmm, you must want to know how I caught such big fish, right? No problem, just let me, the future King of Rivers and Oceans, the Red Demon Clan's First Angler, the Archmage Sikobe who wields Advanced Magic, teach you the techniques of fishing!"

No problem, just let me, your future King of Rivers and Oceans, the Red Demon Clan's first angler, the Archmage Sikobe who has mastered Advanced Magic, tell you the Technique of angling!

Did he say anything just now?

"Not needed, your fish are too small. The fish I catch with my hands are all bigger than your two fish combined."

Broly hurriedly waved his hand.

Although he hadn't caught many fish in this world, in the previous world he had caught quite a few big fish.

"Ugh ah, you're actually an expert?"

Hearing this, the Red Demon Clan's First Angler directly knelt down clutching his chest, as if he had suffered some unknown attack.

"Ah, our Red Demon Clan's First Angler has actually been defeated. That child from outside the village has power latent in his body that cannot be ignored. Let me have a go at him~"

Another red-eyed middle-aged man approached and began his self-introduction: "I am the Red Demon Clan's First Lord of the Earth, the Archmage who wields Advanced Magic of the Earth and Rock Arts..."

The First Lord of the Earth is equivalent to the villager in the Red Demon Village who owns the most fields. However, as long as one is willing to reclaim fields and put effort into tending them, the Red Demon Clan does not mind villagers reclaiming more private fields.

So, this person should be said to be a Red Demon Clan Archmage who is willing to reclaim the most fields and tends to them.

And the other party was also forcibly acting cool, but being able to tend to many fields is already quite a powerful situation in this world.

"I have a lot of land. Do you have this much land?"

After finishing his introduction, the middle-aged man looked at the boy with provocative eyes.

Wiz had a bit of a headache.

Aqua and Darkness were somewhat speechless.

What on earth did this person come to do?

"I am Broly, a Saiyan of Nappa Star. Nappa Star is very large, with a lot of land on it, which should all count as my land."

Broly, learning the Red Demon Clan's way of speaking, replied to the man.

"What is Nappa Star?"

The middle-aged man asked in confusion.

"It's this."

Broly pointed at the ground.

"Hm?"

The middle-aged man was puzzled.

"It's a planet, meaning a world!"

Aqua helped explain.

"What, you own the land of a whole world?"

The man clutched his chest and also knelt down.

The man clutched his chest and also knelt down.

"So what exactly did you all lose?"

Aqua and Darkness couldn't help but retort.

Aqua and Darkness couldn't help but retort.
