A villager guarding the city saw the two people outside, especially Jiang Li, and his breath was held in his throat. A favorable impression quickly appeared in his eyes.

"We are adventurers passing through!"

Jiang Li adjusted his armor. Needless to say, his overwhelming handsomeness was already overwhelming.

Airi Yasaka was wearing a wizard robe and holding up her hood with one hand to hide the demon horns on her forehead.

But for some reason, her lower body was wearing a miniskirt that only covered her thighs, and her long legs were wrapped in a pair of black suspenders, which looked very erotic.

"Why are you wearing this?"

"...Father asked me to wear it."

Yasaka Airi silently looked away.

It was the first time in her life that she wore a miniskirt and suspenders, and she felt very embarrassed!

But her father said that in order to seduce Jiang Li, she must play to her greatest advantage, so she had no choice but to dress like this.

But to be honest, she hardly saw Jiang Li cast a bitter look at her along the way. Every time he looked at her, his eyes were very clear, without any desire.

"There's no destiny between us, so forget it."

Jiang Li rejected her bluntly.

This conversation made her doubt her own charm. When she was in the army, the monsters under her command praised her highly, saying that she could completely charm human adventurers.

To be honest, she does have charm, and judging from her appearance alone, her beauty is even close to that of a goddess.

If Jiang Li was still a virgin, he would have agreed eagerly, but he is now a veteran, used to state banquets like Freya's. Looking at this kind of cabbage that is parallel to his XP system, even if it is state banquet-grade boiled cabbage, he has no interest in it!

"Please come in!"

The people guarding the city quickly let the two pass.

Do you think the people defending the city here are a bit careless?

But with a super-stylish guy like me around, this is considered normal, right?

Jiang Li thought so, and walked into the village with Yasaka Airi under the warm welcome of the villagers.

"What are you planning to do here?"

Walking on the cobblestone road, Yasaka Airi once again tested Jiang Li.

"This is the third time you've asked along the way. Why, do you care?"

Jiang Li glanced at her with a half-smile.

"Or, have you thought of something and feel that you must test me?"

"...Your eyes are indeed amazing!"

Yasaka Airi sighed, and the expression on her face quickly turned cold.

"You want to become a demon king to help humans, right?"

Chapter 509: Give me back my awareness! (33)

2023-06-01

"you guessed right!"

Jiang Li immediately clapped his hands and smiled, his face full of approval.

At the same time, it also proved that Yasaka Airi's guess was indeed correct.

That's right.

The reason why Jiang Li became the Demon King was not because he could do whatever he wanted after becoming the Demon King.

He is for the human beings of this world.

When he first came to this world, he had already thought that since the Demon King of this world was a weakling, he might as well use his body as the Demon King to gather the demons of this world and restrain them, so as to free mankind from the long-term threat of the Demon King's army!

This is the real reason why Jiang Li wants to become the Demon King.

As long as he, the new Demon King, exists, the Demon King's army will not be able to do whatever they want to humans!

"Sure enough...I was surprised when you returned the magic sword to Yujian Xiangye before!"

Yasaka Airi's expression suddenly darkened.

The answer was worse than she had imagined!

If Jiang Li intended to do whatever he wanted from the perspective of the Demon King, then he should have snatched the Demon Sword away. Even if he didn't need it, he could have put it in the warehouse to collect dust. In any case, he shouldn't have returned it to the original owner.

The reason why the magic sword was returned to Yuken Hibiki was definitely not because he saw his potential and wanted to use him as a toy, but to ensure that the human side's combat effectiveness would not be weakened and would not fall into a disadvantage when facing the Demon King's army!

Mitsurugi Hibiki should have noticed this, which is why he said those words and showed such admiring expression before leaving.

After all, Jiang Li is a human being!

Even after becoming the Demon King, he still stood firmly on the side of mankind. He would only use his identity as the Demon King to bring convenience and victory to mankind. It was impossible for him to stand on the side of the demons!

"So you insisted on coming to the human village to find out about the battle between humans and the Demon King's army, so that you can plan your next move to harm the Demon King's army?"

Yasaka Airi gritted her teeth.

No one in the Demon King's Castle knows about this yet!

Everyone was deceived by this guy's unscrupulous behavior!

"You said that, not me."

Jiang Li smiled and said nothing.

But in fact, the Demon King's daughter is not stupid, and Yasaka Airi did guess his purpose.

The reason why he came to the human village on the first day of becoming the Demon King instead of staying in the Demon King's Castle to tame several other cadres was to understand the current situation between humans and the Demon King's army in this world.

Then think about how to use the identity of the Demon King to help humans.

After the truth was revealed, the atmosphere between the two dropped to freezing point, and the atmosphere of harmony and friendship disappeared in an instant.

"Excuse me, are you planning to stay at a hotel? Or do you want to eat? Although our village is small, it's close to the Demon King's Castle, a famous tourist attraction. Many adventurers come here to visit. The village has already established a comprehensive one-stop service for accommodation and entertainment!"

The villager walking in front introduced them to the two people with a smile on his face and a very proud tone.

"…What did you say?"

But Jiang Li was suddenly stunned.

"Huh? Are you planning to stay in a hotel or have a meal?"

"The last sentence."

"This place is close to the Demon King's Castle. Is it a famous tourist attraction?"

The villagers looked at him in confusion.

Is there anything strange about this?

"No, why would there be an attraction near the Demon King's Castle?"

Jiang Li's expression became very strange, his nose and eyebrows were all tangled together.

It's like I have a lot of complaints in my heart and I don't know how to express them.

"Even if you say so...why not?"

"No, aren't you worried that the Demon King's Castle will send troops to attack?"

"Hahaha! Guest, are you from another country?"

As Jiang Li asked in confusion, the villagers suddenly burst into laughter.

"How could the Demon King's army possibly attack a small village like ours? Even if they took it, it would be completely useless!"

"If we really want to attack something, wouldn't it be more advantageous to use teleportation magic to send the army to a key location, such as the kingdom's capital?"

"..."

What he said made so much sense that I was speechless!

"But...shouldn't the demons kill anyone they see and not allow humans to gather around them?"

Jiang Li felt that he was starting to speak incoherently.

"What kind of weird idea is this?"

The villagers looked at him strangely, as if they were looking at some weird person who didn't understand the world.

"The Demon King's army is famous for not killing civilians. At most, they only fight the Kingdom's army, the Knights, and adventurers. They never kill civilians indiscriminately. I've never heard of them killing anyone on sight!"

"Also, did you know that many demon races must rely on humans to survive? For example, the famous succubus needs to absorb yang energy to survive. There are also demons. The demon race feeds on human negativity and cherishes humans very much. Without humans, the Demon King's army will also have a hard time. How can they kill people at will!"

Perhaps because he is knowledgeable and experienced, the villager speaks in a very coherent way.

"..."

Jiang Li's hair became disheveled in the wind without him realizing it.

This fucking thing is completely different from the Demon King's army I imagined!

No, come to think of it, Vanir had said before that disgust and disdain were his favorite negative emotions... Could that be true?

"Then why is there a wall around the village?"

"Because there are many monsters living around here! They all ran here because they couldn't stand the powerful aura of the Demon King's Castle. We have to build a wall to protect ourselves. The village chief often hires adventurers to clear out the monsters!"

This……

The logic is very tight!

There are no loopholes at all!

"In short, we humans have actually acquiesced to the existence of the demons."

The villagers sighed.

"The existence of many demons is also beneficial to us, but this kind of thing cannot be said openly. After all, it is an indisputable fact that the Demon King's army is at war with our country."

From what you said, it doesn't seem like a fight between two races, but rather a war between two countries.

Jiang Li was speechless.

"So... this is true?"

He asked Yasaka Airi who was standing next to him for confirmation.

"Ah!"

She listened to the conversation between Jiang Li and the villagers coldly throughout, and gave him a big slap on the back of the head when she saw this.

I'm angry.

Jiang Li inexplicably felt a little guilty.

He made the mistake of empiricism again, thinking that the demons and humans must be incompatible and fight each other terribly, so he wanted to become a demon king to help humans.

But unexpectedly, the Demon King's army not only did not kill a single civilian, but also obtained the tacit approval of humans and almost merged with humans.

All in all, there was only one thing he had to say.

——Give me back my consciousness!

"Well... let's go to the restaurant first."

Jiang Li coughed dryly.

"Okay, this way!"

The villagers led the way enthusiastically.

Anyway, let’s take a walk around the village first.

It's also good to appreciate the local customs and culture here.
