——————————

This is the sub-panel under Belsi's [Gluttony's Protection]. You can clearly see some of the parts Belsi swallowed during the bite process.

He received the protection called [Atomic Heart].

Well, it turns out that Semu Nananoshima yelled [Original! ] It turns out to be the origin of [Atomic Heart], so that’s reasonable.

Although Belsi knew that Nanajima Semu was shouting this deliberately.

"Let's not mention the strong will..."

Belsi said this, thinking about what Semu Nananoshima told him before: "What does it mean to be regarded as an Ex-Machina?"

Belch had actually seen many similar descriptions in a certain mobile card game where mermaids were raging.

Something like [when this card is on the field or in the graveyard, the card name is also regarded as "Dark Magician"].

But in this world, there can’t be anything like [selecting an Ex-Machina, invalidating its effects and destroying it], right?

Or……

"Is there some kind of buff that only Ex-Machina can eat? Does it also apply to me now? Is there such a thing?"

Belsey said this.

Semu Nananoshima patted Belsi's shoulder with his tentacles very seriously: [It must be "restriction lifted", the attack power of the machine race has doubled. 】

Ah, does such a thing really exist in this world?

"Huh? Is there really such a skill? Is it [Codename: Demon Project]'s tribute to King Yu X?"

[No, I made it up. 】

Belsey: "..."

Speechless.

"..."

"I don't know that Ex-Machina killer, I promise!"

The city lord of Beigang City said this. He looked desperate: "How can I prove my innocence?"

In fact, it cannot be proven, after all, he is a vested interest, but...

"Make no mistake, you don't need to prove your innocence."

Bel Xi said this without seeming to mean anything: "Your eagerness to prove your innocence is enough to convince me of your innocence."

Such words seem very enlightened.

It even moved the Lord of Beigang City, and he burst into tears on the spot: "Really...really?"

"..."

In response to this, Belch looked away and gave an affirmative reply: "Really, I believe you...probably."

[Brother, isn’t this complete distrust? 】

perhaps? Why even say roughly?

"But before we find the instigator and have never made enemies with the killer, we have to regard you as a suspect."

Bel Xi, who said this, lay huge in front of the city lord of Beigang City, staring at him with the eyes of a giant dragon: "I hope you can understand this."

Under such circumstances, the lord of Beigang City did not dare to say no.

"Of course, of course..."

In the voice of the city lord, a person familiar to Bel Xi and the others began to speak for the city lord: "I can guarantee it."

Bel Xi took a look...

What an acquaintance.

【It’s Sir Boki! 】

"Is it Sir Bochy?"

As Bel Xi said this, he showed a somewhat curious expression: "You actually followed this Mr. City Lord here? Do you know him?"

In this regard, Boqi, who obviously still remembered Belsi and his party, simply said: "Yes, I am now an official in Beigang City."

This kind of dialogue always feels like it shouldn’t appear in the Western fantasy worldview.

Bel Xi twitched the corner of his mouth.

The dragon [twitched the corner of his mouth] couldn't tell clearly, so Sir Boqi continued very calmly: "The position is the deputy general manager of human resources in the commercial street."

Why is this title so modern? Hey!

"Didn't you... buy our 100-chapter VIP reception ticket before? If you are the human resources manager, shouldn't you..."

Belch said this, thinking about the possibility of the other party making any [hidden rules]... unspoken rules for the other party, and then letting the other party take office.

"Ah? What could happen?"

Sir Boqi said this while chatting with Belshe; "Thanks to your elf shop VIP coupon, I won the hearts of the people and became the deputy general manager of human resources!"

"???"

To be honest, Belsi didn't understand the logic... Did Sir Boqi use those VIP tickets to do things up and down?

Or……

Did you rely on your own powerful [ability] to win the votes of the servers in the elf shop? Forehead……

That's outrageous.

"So you know each other?"

The city lord of Beigang City obviously didn't know about this in advance. He thought about it for a while and felt that he could take advantage of this.

At least, let yourself clear the suspicion first, so that Belsi would not say bad things about him in front of the eldest princess, although there are rumors recently...

The relationship between Belxi and the eldest princess was not good, so Belxi was assigned to Beigang City, an aristocratic territory with a city lord.

"Haha, that would be easier."

The city lord laughed like this, and he called his soldiers to collect the remains of Belxi's carriage.

"You came to Beigang City to take up the post, right? If you happen to know Mr. Boqi, let him take you... to see Beigang City?"

The city lord who said this did not mention the matter that Belsi had left Beigang City in the dark for a long time.

In other words, he wants to adopt a peaceful attitude, at least for the time being... which is more interesting.

"We have been to Beigang City many times, so there is no need to visit."

Bel Xi said this. He looked at the approaching Beigang City and said to the city lord with a smile: "Do you believe it? Maybe people in the city will know us, but they won't know you."

Regarding this point, the Lord of Beigang City hesitated.

He was not sure whether the residents recognized Belsi, but he could guarantee that many people did not recognize him as the city lord.

Therefore, the city lord did not answer directly.

"Oh? Have you been to Beigang City? How does it feel?"

It sounds like the city lord of Beigang City doesn't care about the previous meltdowns, otherwise he would have recognized Belsi and his team who shined in the meltdown incident.

Whether it was annihilating ghouls or dealing with those demon pirates, Belsi was kind to Beigang City.

But the city lord in front of him seemed not to understand this at all.

"Feel?"

Belch asked back. He recalled it and responded honestly: "It's not bad, it's a very lively place."

[Indeed, the races here are diverse. 】

There are both demons and angels, and this is a port city with developed trade.

However, such an answer made the city lord find it difficult to answer. He hesitated and didn't know whether the "lively" in Bel Xi's mouth was good or bad.

After all, "not bad" is also an ambiguous statement.

"..."

The [Abyss Dragon] named Bel Xi seems to be really [slippery], as if the mouth is full of [oil]...slippery.

However, at this moment, Belsch actually didn't know how to continue this topic, and he was not interested in the rights of Beigang City.

But in the eldest princess's imagination, he needs to be more interested in rights.

…

To be honest, Belsi is not a person who would change or disguise himself because of other people's opinions.

But everything depends on the situation.

As a good independent young man in the new era, Belsch has certainly developed the habit of relying on himself for everything.

But since the eldest princess is willing to assist him, especially when the share is so huge, he has no reason to refuse.

It's not a very troublesome thing anyway.

Hmm... well, to put it bluntly, he was indeed tempted by the eldest princess. On the one hand, she was very beautiful, and Bel Xi had a natural affinity for her.

On the other hand, the eldest princess really gave a lot.

Now, I am Her Royal Highness the Princess’s dog!

Belch thought this way. As an independent and good young man in the new era, he was not ashamed at all and was even complacent about it.

I’m very proud, I’ll put my arms on my waist first!

"Race? That's for sure. Beigang City was once the key to exchanges between different races."

The city lord of Beigang City spoke so proudly, and then began to chatter endlessly about his various achievements.

However, there was a sense of display in the words.

It's like showing your talents to the company's personnel when interviewing with a big company.

This shows that the city lord of Beigang City has actually compromised somewhat.

"I am proud of Beigang City, Mr. Belsey..."

"I originally thought you were just a pawn used by the Third Princess to fight for power, but now it seems... maybe you can lead Beigang City to a better future."

"Mr. Belsch? Huh?"

"..."

The city lord of Beigang City said a lot. He was a little surprised why no one responded at all. He turned away.

But I saw those people looking in the direction of the sea with solemn faces.

Both Belsi and any of the other guards looked alert, as if they were lost in thought.

"Sniff sniff~"

Belsi sniffed the smell and squinted his eyes as he looked at the eastern sky; "What a strong smell of sulfur... and what a huge shadow."

shadow? What's the meaning?

The city lord of Beigang City smelled the smell in the air... His nose was a little blocked and his sense of smell was a little dull.

However, when trying so hard to smell it.

Smell it, the smell of yellow stone... It is often smelled in alchemy, and now it has become almost synonymous with hell.

And when the city lord of Beigang City looked in the direction everyone was looking at...

"Wha...what?!!!"

Above the sea in the east, there is a huge shadow in the shape of a castle... No, calling it a castle is too small.

To be more precise, it was a small city.

It can be vaguely recognized from the shadows. Although it is small, it is a city with all the equipment and all the internal organs.

It can also be seen that there are many living creatures in the shadows, most of which are demons with demon wings.

"What is that? It's..."

"Is it a city on a certain level of the abyss?"

"It's actually a city, so it should be a very civilized place, right?"

"..."

As these soldiers discussed, the concept of [city] in the abyss usually only exists at levels that are greatly affected by the main plane.

The demons living in these levels are already very civilized and will not eat people randomly and brutally, nor will they attack everywhere without thinking.

In Belsi's inherited memory, there is no similar city at all.

It seems that the Abyss Dragon's inherited memory version is still too old.

"..."

"That statue."

Herilinde said this, pointing to the angular statue in the shadow that looked like an angel.

Why do cities in hell have statues of angels?

Not only Herilinde, but also the mage girl realized something: "Could this city be..."

In the confusion of other knights.

The mage girl pressed the brim of the mage hat and sighed: "It's really incredible, he is actually one of the devil kings."

The mage girl who said this looked at Belsi, who looked puzzled, and Semu Nananoshima, who looked puzzled (?).

"Ahem, after the first generation of brave men and demon kings died, and after the Hell melted, the original [Seven Demons] changed their names to [Seven Demon Kings]."

The mage girl explained as she looked up at the statue, looking at the city that always remained in shadow, hovering above the sea.

"That is probably the city of the Fallen Demon King..."

Demon King? Demon King...

Belsi thought this, and he looked in awe, looking at the knights who began to pass on the news and were ready to report everything immediately.

"Huh? That's not right...the territory of the Fallen Demon King is not that small."

Hellilind gave a different explanation. She made a judgment: "It should be just a subsidiary territory of the Fallen Demon King."

Affiliated territory... I see.

"..."

"I was thinking, it seems that it will take a long time for that city to solidify, and...it doesn't seem to be in the territorial waters of the kingdom, right?"

With Da Zhuang's words, Belxi estimated the distance of the shadow and felt that it was indeed the case.

Although the relationship is huge enough, it can be seen clearly from here, but in fact.

If those shadows stare and fall...

It should be closer to the port where you can see a little shadow in the distance... over there, it's another continent.

Over there...the continent further east of the kingdom?

yes……

"The White Dove Holy Kingdom?"

The mage girl was thinking this.

[In that case, it has nothing to do with us? 】

Nananoshima Semu showed an attitude of being indifferent to the matter, although the truth may be the same as what she said.

"Over there is the Theocracy of Saint Nafilia... As a neighbor of the Holy Kingdom of White Dove, it is part of the Holy See's power."

"..."

Who is speaking?

Belxi and the others turned their heads curiously and looked at the voice coming from the man next to the team.

Then, Belsi saw a man...

He must have never seen him before, otherwise, Bel Xi would definitely recognize him... because his face is really long.

Isn’t this exactly like having a horse face?!

In addition to the people from the Northern Territory, the soldiers, guards, and city lords of Beigang City all seemed to recognize the identity of the person coming.

"Good afternoon, Sir Kespy Bowen."

"Send our regards to your father, Master Kespie."

"How is the Griffin Knights doing lately?"

"..."

Amidst such greetings, the man named Kespi Baoguo turned his attention to Bel Xi and the mage girl beside him.

Are they...the [own people] that my father said?

Strength... maybe only two levels?

Kespi Baoguo thought so, with a hint of arrogance and contempt in his eyes... It's just two steps, embarrassing but useless.

Kespi Baoguo, who was at the peak of the third level, judged this way.
