Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 20 – West Wind Town (1)

South Lombard Kingdom

West Wind Town

West Wind Town at night is intoxicating. A half crescent moon slanting in the sky, the long and narrow streets are silent and empty, as if time was stopped at this moment, to enjoy this isolated tranquillity.

This tranquility was rare and precious.

West Wind Town’s commerce is not very developed, in fact it is a military town of Lombard Kingdom. Someone once predicted that if one day the Demon army really broke through the defense line of the human alliance army and marched towards the capital of Lombard Kingdom, Winterless City. Then West Wind Town was the kingdom’s last line of defense.

Once the gates of West Wind Town are opened, it was a natural stronghold of a wide expansive flat land. The countless populace will face the fierce and barbaric Demon army with their flesh and blood, the war will then evolve into a massacre.

Later, there was even a saying that every gold coin spent in West Wind Town would become a weapon to protect the people, and the children of every couple who got married in West Wind Town would become a hero that will fight the Demon race!

I don’t know which idiot made such remarks, but there’s something else more interesting about West Wind Town.

Comparing all the big towns of Lombard Kingdom, West Wind Town was one of the most hated towns of the goddess of light. Because there’s not a single Holy Light Church within the town!

As for the warlike residents of West Wind Town, the high and mighty justice spewing Holy Light Church cannot make their lives better. The soldiers who have been stationed here for a long time are also not interested in the goddess. Rather than believing in gods, they would rather believe in themselves!

There may be only one way to get them to pay allegiance to the church —— first let the goddess of light come down and properly take care of the brother’s needs…

“Hic~~brother, come, drink, let’s continue to drink!”

“No, I-I can’t anymore. Bleh…”

“Haha, threw up? How useless! I can still drink, once more!”

The two unkempt men stood shoulder to shoulder with each other, one was carrying a bottle of wine, swaying back and forth, strolling on the main street.

Although their clothes were covered with unknown vomit, the long sword hanging around the waist was loose, but there was no doubt that it was the standard military uniform of the kingdom’s soldiers. Those two, were soldiers.

As for why the two soldiers would leave the station in the middle of the night in violation of military discipline, and strolling drunk on the street, only the two of them knew.

“Hey, I say, we’ve been in West Wind Town for more than half a year, right? We’ve been stationed here to prevent what… Oh, right, to prevent the nearby demonic beasts from invading the town.”

“Ptui! Fuck those demonic beasts. I haven’t even seen a boar for half a year, let alone demonic beasts. My damn sword is already rusting!”

“That’s right! We came here to kill the demon race in order to get revenge for our father! We didn’t fucking come here to just mess around and wait for death!”

“Exactly, kill the demons, to get revenge…revenge!” The two bellowed their grievances.

The church-less West Wind Town has always been an important target of the Holy Light Church. However, it was not that easy for the Holy Light Church to stick a thorn in the south.

There’s a rumor within the Holy Light Church that whoever can successfully build a church in West Wind Town, will get the Pope to personally bless them and allow them to get the protection of the goddess of light, but no one has succeeded yet. On the surface, this was just a battle for a building, but the hidden struggle between religious rule and royal power is very intriguing. In nominal terms, the existence of the Holy Light Church is conducive to stabilizing the people and maintaining the rule of the kingdom. In fact, the secret battle between the two parties has never stopped.

However, those headache-inducing struggles of power were not something that ordinary soldiers needed to worry about. Right now, the most important thing for these two drunken soldiers was finding a place they should go to have fun.

“Ohh, a beauty?”

One of the younger soldiers suddenly screamed. He dropped his bottle and pointed to a figure at the end of the road, his eyes shining.

“Beauty? Where’s the beauty?” The older one also dropped his bottle, rubbed his eyes and looked over.

“Little bro, do you have that good eyesight? That person is fucking 80,000 meters away and wrapped up like a steamed bun. How the hell can you tell that they’re a beauty?”

The moonlight was dim, it was not even easy to confirm that the other party was a living person rather than a stone pillar. No matter how good your eyesight was, the person was wearing a loose dark brown linen coat, the whole body was wrapped up tightly and the figure could not be seen. There was even a ridiculous cloth cap on their head, none of the skin was exposed.

Let alone beauty, isn’t it difficult to tell if they’re a man or woman?

“This is called sniffing out beauties! Big brother, I’m not talking big, but no matter how far they are or how tightly they’re wrapped up, I can always sniff out the fragrance of beauties!”

“Oh, not bad! Then let’s go and check it out?”

Let’s go!””

The two were in agreement and caught up with the weird person who was in a daze at the intersection. The little brother took the lead first, and stood in front of the person to block her way and the eldest reached out and patted her shoulders and striked up a conversation.

It was a very practiced routine.

“Hey, beautiful, what’s your name?”

“A-are you talking to me?” the other party was trembling and feebly turned their head.

Using this opportunity, the two brothers took a closer look and was able to barely see her appearance.

What a beauty! Moreover, she’s still a young girl! The two brothers exchanged a look and the corners of their mouths rose.

They found something they can have fun with!

“Yes, you. Other than you, are there any other beauties in the vicinity?”

“Oh. H-hello! I’m called Elona!” the young girl held her breath and answered nervously.

“Elona? Hehe, you’re walking alone so late at night, it’s dangerous, do you want us to take you home?”

“Home? No, no, I came to find someone!” Elona shook her head and carefully pulled the cloth cap on her head lower. “B-but I got lost…”

Hearing this, the two brothers looked at each other with a common understanding and their smiles got even wider.

“Hehe, you’re lost? Elona don’t be scared, we’ll take you wherever you want to go!”

“Really? That’s great! I want to go to Winterless City, can you guys take me there?”

“Winterless City? That’s kind of far…no problem, of course! But Elona, it’s already quite late today, why don’t we find a place to settle down first and we’ll talk about it tomorrow, how about it?” The two slowly seduced the girl into their trap.

“Okay! But…I don’t have any money.” Elona lowered her head, her timid tone made people fall in love.

“Hehe, no problem, we have money! Elona, just follow us!”

“Eh? You have money?”

“That’s right, us brothers will pay for you to live in a inn!”

“That’s great! Boo hoo…” the excited Elona had a sobbing tone. “I don’t have any money, if it wasn’t for you two, I would have to sleep in the sewers again tonight!”

“Eh…sewers? Again? Did you sleep in the sewers yesterday?”

The girl’s strange statement stunned the two brothers, but they thought they were just hearing things because they were too drunk and did not delve into it.

Therefore, Elona smiled happily and followed the two to the most remote and dirty black street in West Wind Town. She did not have any self awareness.

Soon, the two stopped before a worn out door of a sign-less store without any lights.

“Is, this what an inn is?” Elona asked innocently.

“That’s right, let’s go in. Hehe…”

This was indeed an inn, but you should add one more word in front of it ______ black inn. The two brothers were frequent patrons of this sign-less “black inn”.

The fat boss of the inn was lazily lying in a rocking chair, rocking back and forth in between being asleep and awake. He was not surprised when he heard someone open the door. He just raised his eyelids and glanced at the person who entered the door.

“It’s you two bastards again…”

It was not the first time that these two soldiers escaped from the camp in the middle of the night for whoring and gambling. They also routinely defiled innocent women. This black inn was where the two did their evil deeds. The boss was well aware of this.

“Six gold coins.” the boss muttered with his eyes closed.

“How shady. Here!” the second brother took out six bright golden dazzlingly coins and tossed it over.

Ting, the gold coins were thrown into the metal pot and made a clear ringing sound. The fat boss secretly sighed, the temptation of money prevailed over the condemnation of his conscience. He couldn’t help it, times were tough, who could worry whether the money was dirty or not?

Conscience? How much is a conscience worth?

“Eh” just as the boss was about to close his eyes, he unintentionally saw the young girl behind the brothers.

In the past, the women brought by the two brothers were either drunk, or were drugged. Under normal circumstances, they were unconscious and had to be carried inside. But this time, the girl had an excited expression and happily followed them inside .

How preposterous!

“Thank you guys so much!” the girl said to the two while smiling.

“Don’t worry, this kind of money is nothing to us.”

Hearing their conversation, the boss almost fell off his rocking chair.

That girl is thanking them? What the hell, did she follow them voluntarily? No way, right!

The boss felt that his IQ was not enough.

He speculated that the girl was probably deceived by their pretty words and thought of them as helpful good people. She completely didn’t know that she had fallen into a trap.

“Sigh, I can’t believe there’s still such gullible girls nowadays. Well, she can take this as a lesson.”

“Oh…I still have some reliable birth control pills left, after they’re finished, I’ll give some to her. “

After thinking aloud, the fat boss closed his eyes and continued rocking.

“Wait a second…that girl doesn’t seem like a native, I’ve never heard that accent before.”

“Strange, how did such a foolish girl get to West Wind Town alive?”
