Episode 369 Rob the Demon Dragon’s Den (2)
“Go!”
“Koooooo!”
incentive.
bonus.
pork cutlet.
They are all words and concepts that beautifully embroider a corner of this difficult and hopeless world. The pork cutlet is crispy, the incentive is sweet, and the bonus is thrilling.
It was the same today.
“Everyone remember! I, Rakiel Adria Magentano, promise in the name of the Crown Prince, 5 percent incentive! “I will give you 5% of the gold and silver treasures each person brings!”
“Oooooh!”
“person! sen! Tiv!”
“Five percent ugh!”
“Long live His Majesty the Crown Prince!”
“Long live Dragon King Berkis!”
All the villa family members who had gathered in the garden rushed forward. Incentivized 5 percent. A promise guaranteed by the crown prince. In front of him, the guards threw off their solemnity. The eyes of the special forces members turned golden. The werewolf nurses were the same.
“Hurry!”
“Oh, let’s go quickly!”
“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
“Hey, don’t cut in line!”
The servants rushed forward. The maids also tried not to be outdone. Everyone ran blindly towards the portal to the Demon Dragon’s Cave created in the basement of the villa. There was no status or rank. The person who ran first was Jang Daeng.
Of course, among them was Sir Frandel, commander of the palace guard.
“Oooooooot! First place!”
“Kaaaaaa! Second place!”
Following Sir Frandel, Sergio, the oldest member of the Special Forces, entered(?) the Demon Dragon’s Cave, showing off a fierce head-first sliding.
Third place was head nurse Anise.
“Crumbling! “Hehehehe!”
After that, the head of the palace chamberlain showed off his skills and arrived at the Demon Dragon Cave using greed and age-based spells. He was accompanied by numerous servants and maids who followed behind him. The eyes of all those arriving were bright and sparkling with madness.
“hook! Whoop!”
“omg! “Huh!”
The feeling of awe that someone who dares to set foot in the vast and mysterious Demon Dragon Cave would feel? There was none. Are you excited about experiencing a portal for the first time in your life? Also, there was none. The fear that comes from the glimpse of demonic beasts in the Demon Dragon Cave? There wasn’t one either.
‘In my eyes… all I see is money!’
As soon as everyone entered the Demon Dragon’s Cave, they searched the surroundings like hyenas with red eyes. Do you see a lot of jewels? I quickly ran over and picked it up. Are there gold bars piled up over there? I ran over and grabbed it.
Of course, in the meantime, Rakiel did not forget the essence of today’s operation(?).
“Everyone listen! You will see items piled up in the central plaza of Demon Dragon Cave! “If you take that, I’ll pay you in one gold bar!”
“…!”
Raquiel pointed to a pile of insulin medication ‘Trezeo’ piled on one side. Everyone’s ears perk up. My eyes sparkle. Brain calculations are intense. The conclusion came easily. Just looking at it, the object pointed out by His Highness the Crown Prince is smaller and lighter than a gold bar. So it would be beneficial to take care of that first.
Soon, a group rush towards Trezeo began.
“Dolgyeook-!”
“Ooooh!”
This is an ignorant offensive that is even more disruptive than an infinite wave of zombies! Dragon King Berkis, who saw this, expressed a simple exclamation.
“…wow.”
The Dragon King’s gaze moved from the mob trampling(?) his demon dragon cave to Rachiel. At this moment, his eyes contained a feeling of absurdity that overwhelmed his usual laziness.
“Are you hitting me a little?”
“Ah haha….”
“Is this why you asked to extend the portal maintenance time?”
“Yeah, something…”
“You’ve really decided?”
“Because the Dragon King gave permission?”
“Me? “Permission?”
“yes.”
“when?”
“From the moment you signed me up for the Dragon King sponsorship membership.”
“….”
“Unlimited access to the Demon Dragon Cave’s wealth.”
“….”
“Thank you, I will write well.”
“Tsk. “This is why humans don’t trust things carelessly.”
“sorry.”
“And again.” “You say things you don’t mean.”
“I’m sorry about that too.”
“really?”
“Hmm.”
“her. “I don’t even hide it anymore.”
“Isn’t it better than daring to lie to the Dragon King?”
“To the point of being shameless.”
“I think it’s better than being cocky.”
“I think you’re already cocky.”
“sorry.”
“If you’re truly sorry, show sincerity.”
“yes?”
“Decoction. “I think it’s cooled down a bit.”
Berkis gently held out a bowl. As expected, the steam from the deep sleep soup in the bowl he held out had disappeared.
“Would you like me to rehash it for you?”
“okay. You’re going to leave when the portal closes anyway, right? Until then, reheat this.”
“…Well, actually, I was planning on picking up some gold bars and jewelry.”
“Use it.”
“sorry.”
Rachiel politely accepted the decoction. Just then, a Salamander from the Demon Dragon Cave toddled over. And before I could react, it climbed up my leg and fell into my arms.
“Deodeodeok? Deodeok?”
“uh? “Are you trying to warm up the decoction?”
“Deodeok!”
Salamander nodded and hugged the potion bowl tightly. And a faint flame was created. Just as hot as a hot pack. Just enough so that both the person holding him and the person serving the decoction are not burdensome.
I felt a warm sensation. I wonder if the tension has eased thanks to this. The fatigue that I had forgotten about came to me. Only then did I vaguely understand why Dragon King Berkis had requested a rehash.
‘Ah…’
I guess I was overdoing it. To overcome Corona. Developing a healing decoction. Extracting the antibodies and handing them to the Dragon King. Since then, I have been working hard to get the maximum compensation and benefit.
I couldn’t rest at all. The Dragon King knew that before we did.
“….”
I glanced back at the Dragon King. Just then our eyes met his. The Dragon King is smiling. His consideration seems to be even more clear. I sat comfortably in my seat with a grateful heart. As I held the warm salamander and decoction in my arms, I felt like the fatigue that had built up over time was gently melting away.
Meanwhile, the looting(?) of the villa family members continued. Everyone went crazy and took Trezeo medicine, jewelry, and gold bars. But even then, most of them glanced in the direction where Rachiel was at least once. And I thought.
Our Crown Prince is now a person who sits side by side with the Dragon King.
“….”
When I thought about it, it was amazing.
At one time, the crown prince was just a helpless person who moved from bed to bed. Charisma that captivates everyone? I couldn’t even dream. Leadership and compatibility with others? I couldn’t find even a single thread. No, in fact, strictly speaking, he was just a being worse than an ordinary person.
A person who enjoys favor simply because he or she was born into the royal family. A person whose only talent is finding flaws in handicrafts and fixing them. As if that wasn’t enough, he was a person who got on the nerves of the servants and maids of the villa almost every day. That was the crown prince of the past that most people remember.
But now things have changed.
So much has changed.
It was an especially touching change for the chief chamberlain who had worked in the villa for his entire life.
‘I never thought I would see His Majesty become so majestic in my lifetime…’
His Majesty the Crown Prince, sitting comfortably next to the King of Dragons! Our Highness is embracing the fearsome demonic beast Salamander as naturally as holding a puppy! Our future majesty is even chatting with the Dragon King as if nothing has happened!
‘You are very welcome, Your Majesty. You are truly magnificent.’
Now I have no choice but to die. So, first of all, take some diamonds. Rather than wiping the corners of his eyes that were moistened with happiness, the old chamberlain began by swiping away the jewels.
Other than that, everyone was similar. This was especially true for the Royal Guards, the senior attendants and maids who had seen the Crown Prince for a long time.
Two hours passed like that. The end of the portal service(?) has finally arrived.
Chi-jit… Chi-jit…?
Sparks flew from the rim of the portal and its outline began to become unstable. Rakiel saw this and ordered everyone to withdraw.
“Everyone retreat to the villa! “Are you being rude to someone who wants to be left alone in the Demon Dragon’s Cave?”
“…!”
The villa family members crossed the portal at a pace as fast as when they rushed in. Among them was Urus, who was carrying a bundle containing thousands of Trezeo.
“Nuuuu?”
Just before crossing the portal, Urus slightly shrugged his muscular shoulders. For some reason, I’ve been getting goosebumps from time to time. It was truly strange. It’s as if a natural enemy is glaring at you from the bushes…
“…Georgia?”
I felt eyes on me.
Urus’ head tilted back. Thanks to that, our eyes met. there. In the distance, I saw an old manticore crouching in a loaf-like posture. The manticore was staring intently in this direction. With a look in her eyes, like a housewife who discovered the best LA ribs…
Chureup?
Satisfied your appetite!
“…!”
Urus’ steps as he crossed the portal somehow became faster. With that, the entire villa family crossed the portal. In a way, the first operation to plunder the Demon Dragon Cave in history was successfully completed.
“majesty. “Now it looks like we too have to cross.”
“uh. “That’s how it should be.”
I got up with Damian urging me on. I returned the bowl of herbal decoction that I had been holding for reheating to the Dragon King.
“It’s warm now, so eat it.”
“It’s going to happen even if I don’t tell you to, so get out of there right away.”
“yes. “I have been indebted to you a lot during this time.”
“If you find out, don’t come back again.”
“I don’t like it.”
“….”
“No matter how I look at it, the wealth swept away today is less than 10% of the total gold and silver treasures accumulated in the Demon Dragon Cave, so I will come again soon.”
“Is this your playground?”
“Is this the membership lounge?”
“…under.”
In the end, a laugh came out of Berkis’ mouth.
“okay. Because sponsorship is sponsorship. But that’s when it comes again. Can you please leave now? “You’re not going to stay here, are you?”
“of course.”
Rachiel stood in front of the portal. Berkis waved his hand as if shooing away an annoying fly. I expressed my gratitude to him. And then I crossed the portal.
…Patchoux!
The portal disappeared immediately after Rachiel and Damian crossed over. After a long time, peace and quiet came to the noisy Demon Dragon Cave.
“Whoa.”
A soft sigh flowed from Berkis’ mouth. It’s been a while since I felt this quiet. Peaceful. So, let’s enjoy it from now on. It will be spread out for 24 hours and I will sleep to my heart’s content.
Berkis offered the treat with a firm promise. I took a one-shot of the sleeping bath soup in one go. And with a reverent attitude, I walked towards the sofa. I lay down. Using minimal movement and energy. I closed my eyes.
The feeling that happiness has finally arrived.
This feeling of the sofa and your body becoming one.
‘This is it.’
I fell into a deep sleep.
I was truly happy.
I entered full-fledged deep sleep mode.
It was the moment I was about to say no.
“…Husband? The girl came back earlier than planned. “Did you sleep well while I was away?”
A lovely voice every time I hear it.
My wife’s voice was heard sonorously.
At that moment, Berkis smiled reflexively. At the same time, a dew-like tear formed at the corner of his eye. Again.
