The Demon Continent, the Biyekor region.
More than half a month has passed since I left the Migludian village.
Luo Ge and Nanahoshi ventured deeper northward, traversing vast wastelands and sparse thickets.
We finally arrived at a town in the Biyekor region of the Demon Continent.
Rikarisu Town.
After discussing with their strategist, Nanahoshi, they reached a consensus.
That is the region where " Demon Emperor " Kishirika is most likely to appear, even though the Demon Continent is very large.
This is the city of Licaris in the region of Biyekoa, ruled by the wise demon king Badigadi.
certainly.
Luo Ge and Nanahoshi certainly couldn't search the streets for people; in each town they arrived at, they would go to the Adventurers' Guild in town to post a quest.
The commission was for Luo Ge to paint a portrait of Kishirika himself, depicting her as a little girl with purple hair, goat horns, and wearing shackles.
Although the drawing isn't very detailed, the features are distinctive enough that anyone who has seen it before can recognize it at a glance.
Just as Luo Ge and Nanahoshi finished their work and were about to leave the Adventurers' Guild, a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the gate.
With the arrival of a burly demon, the once bustling Adventurers' Guild fell silent in an instant.
This was a burly demon man, his entire body covered in explosive muscles, with six arms extending from both sides of his torso, each arm bulging with knotted muscles.
He stood at the doorway, almost completely blocking the view of the entire door, effectively blocking Luo Ge and Nanahoshi from leaving the Adventurers' Guild.
"Hahahaha... I heard you're the ones looking for my fiancée? Kishirika?"
As he walked, even the ground trembled, and the stone slabs under his feet made a dull sound, as if each step was treading on a person's heartbeat.
Luo Ge looked at the other person warily, then tilted his head. "Who are you?"
"My Badigadi, the Demon King who rules this region, also known as... the Wise Demon King."
He introduced himself with a loud laugh, putting all six arms on his hips in an extremely flamboyant pose.
"The Wise Demon King?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ge also showed a shocked expression.
What?
The Wise Demon King?
This guy in front of me, all muscle and clearly a formidable fighter?
So you're telling me it's the Demon King of Wisdom?
Not only was Luo Ge dumbfounded, but even Nanahoshi ' expression was somewhat blank, as if he were questioning his existence.
After all, looking at his tall, muscular physique, it was impossible to associate the word "wisdom" with this strong man.
If he is the Demon King of Wisdom... then the intelligence of the entire demon race on your Demon Continent is probably worrying.
However, Luo Ge did not judge people by their appearance, but tried his best to make his tone sound calm.
"So it's Your Majesty the Demon King. What brings you here?"
"Haha... It's nothing serious, I just heard that two humans have put a high bounty on my fiancée."
"I was just curious... so I came to take a look."
After a pause, Badigadi stood in front of Luo Ge and Nanahoshi, exuding a condescending and oppressive aura.
"... What brings you two to my fiancée?"
Luo Ge tried his best to keep Nanahoshi behind him, but he himself wasn't afraid, as he was surrounded by Touki.
If Nanahoshi were to be suddenly punched like that, he would probably evaporate instantly on the spot.
However, despite the oppressive aura of power emanating from the wise demon king before him, Luo Ge remained unfazed.
"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand... I sought out Lady Kishirika to ask for her help in finding my lost relatives, not because of any personal grudges."
"Oh."
"So that's how it is? Hahahaha..."
Badigadi placed his hand on his chin, seemingly pondering for a moment, but then did not doubt the truth of the statement.
Instead, he burst into a hearty laugh.
He then approached Luo Ge, gave him a careful look, and said, "Human boy, state your name!"
"I am Luo Ge Greyrat."
Luo Ge didn't hide anything and directly revealed his real name.
" Luo Ge Greyrat?"
"That name? I... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."
This time it was Luo Ge's turn to be surprised.
You should know that his name was only known in the Central Continent at most. How did the Demon King of the Demon Continent know about him?
Don't be so surprised.
"I am different from the other Demon Kings of the Demon Continent. They generally do not leave the Demon Continent, but I like to travel to every part of the continent. Speaking of which... your name is quite famous in the Central Continent."
"You... seem to be some kind of Sword King? Yes, the Black Wolf Sword King, right?"
Luo Ge looked a little embarrassed, then corrected, "It's the Demon Sword King."
"Haha, sorry."
"So it was the Demon Sword King..."
Badigadi laughed heartily, displaying a very cheerful personality and a warm smile.
"Wow... it's been so long since I've met such a promising young human! How about this, stay and have a good drink with me!"
"Today, Wubadi Badigadi is treating; everything is on the house."
His words immediately caused a commotion near the Adventurers' Guild.
The adventurers present exchanged bewildered glances, none of them daring to believe that the Demon King, who ruled the entire region of Biyekoa, would actually invite everyone here to drink.
"Come on! Let's have a good drink!" Badigadi reached out to Luo Ge.
Luo Ge wanted to refuse and make an excuse to leave, but he couldn't resist the other party's warm hospitality.
that's all.
The other person put their hands on my shoulders and dragged me along... the force was as heavy as a small mountain pressing down on me.
While it wouldn't render him completely immobile, it wouldn't be appropriate to simply shake him off and offend this wise demon king.
Inside the Adventurers' Guild's tavern.
After a few rounds of drinks, Luo Ge gradually became acquainted with this wise demon king. Although Badigadi looked rugged and unrestrained, he was surprisingly talkative when drinking.
They talked about everything from the customs and culture of the Demon Continent to the power struggles between the various Demon Kings, and from the ancient Human-Demon War to the changes in the situation over the past few decades. Surprisingly, their words revealed some insightful observations.
While drinking, Luo Ge was secretly plotting something.
Since the other party is Kishirika's fiancé, is it possible that they have other special ways of contacting each other in private?
So, taking advantage of the camaraderie they had built over drinks, Luo Ge toasted and tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
"Haha, just say what's on your mind!"
"I have something very important to discuss with Lady Kishirika... If Your Majesty the Demon King knows Kishirika's whereabouts, could you please inform me?"
"Well."
"Well, I don't know..."
After a pause, Badigadi added, "After all, my fiancée and I haven't seen each other for a long time, almost several hundred years if you count the time."
"I see."
Luo Ge wasn't particularly disappointed with the result; after all, getting the answer was a win, and not getting it wasn't a loss, was it?
Just as Luo Ge was about to change the subject, Badigadi, after laughing loudly, suddenly changed the subject. "However! If you beat me, I can tell you about my fiancée."
"Oh?"
"What does Your Majesty the Demon King wish to compete in?"
Luo Ge became interested.
Just when he thought the wise demon king wanted to have a duel, Badigadi simply suggested drinking.
If you can beat him in a drinking contest, you can reveal some information about your fiancée to Luo Ge.
Seeing this, Luo Ge readily agreed.
Because the Adventurers' Guild was too crowded, Luo Ge and the Wise Demon King simply left the Adventurers' Guild and found a larger tavern nearby.
Inside the tavern.
The two stood face to face, staring at each other.
The table in the middle was filled with wine jars of all sizes, and they drank from dusk until well past midnight.
"Haha, I've lost..."
"In terms of drinking, I never expected to lose to a human. You can be proud that you can beat me in terms of alcohol tolerance..."
"Your Majesty, you flatter me."
Luo Ge was very humble.
This wise demon king Badigadi, had an astonishing capacity for alcohol. If Luo Ge hadn't been secretly refining his drink with his own magic while drinking, he would never have been able to defeat this monster.
Even so, Luo Ge narrowly defeated him.
When the surrounding demons saw that His Majesty the Demon King had actually lost to a human boy while drinking, they were all incredulous.
One tells ten, ten tell a hundred...
Soon after, various exaggerated stories began to circulate on the Demon Continent, including the legend of a human Sword King defeating the wise demon king. Of course, these are all stories for later.
