The Little Devil of Sakaz

She is the lock that belongs to the devil Worm alone. Only Worm can open her and use her.

"……Ha ha."

It's okay to fool a young person who doesn't understand. If she can be fooled by such words, it would be a shame for her accumulated experience.

"I don't care what happened last night, but Worm must go back to sleep today."

"But Shining said I have to stay with Worm for a week."

"Huh?! A week?!"

Dabuliu glanced at the frail Sakaz girl in the rearview mirror and felt that the words of the pardoner were very unreliable.

For a week, with Worm's physical strength and strength, this little girl cannot be broken.When the time comes, there will be no more locks and keys, just replace it with a new one.

"Well?"

Afdojia listened in confusion.

It felt like they were talking in some strange Sakaz secret language.Aren't we just going to stay with Worm for a week? Why did Dabuliu react so much?

"Ugh... I'm so annoyed."

Dabuliu wanted to monopolize the little devil's night time, but because of Worm's power, she had to pinch her nose and endure it.

Really upset.

Lunch was still eaten next to Worm's vehicle.After Margaret quickly finished her portion with the lunch box, she waited for Worm to swallow the last bite of food before she asked.

"Worm, are you going to Casimir?"

The direction of the convoy is south, which is Margaret's hometown, Casimir.

"Yes. I want to see what Casimir relied on to protect his country during the war and survive to this day."

Worm spoke his mind directly and clearly told Margaret his purpose.

"Well...I know a little bit about this."

Her grandfather was an eyewitness to that war. Margaret had been aware of his grandfather's achievements since she was a child. If Worm wanted to know, she could start from her grandfather's story and tell Worm what talents Casimir relied on to win from Ukraine. The country was protected under the torrent of steel from Sars.

But she also didn't want Worm to go to Casimir.

"why?"

Is Casimir scarier than Kazdaele?

Worm waited for Margaret's answer.

"The former Casimir was indeed a country of knights, a beautiful country in fairy tales. But now Casimir rarely possesses the spirit of chivalry."

"Knights have become a commodity, except that cakes are put on display in the glass windows of cake shops. Knights are put into competitions called knight competitions for people to watch."

Such knights are not real knights at all, they are just a group of fame-seekers who put on armor and got a lot of titles.

In a place like this, Margaret didn't want Worm to leave in good fortune and return in disgrace.

"If you want to know about Casimir, Worm, I would be happy to tell you everything I know about Casimir. But please forgive my rudeness, I really hope that you can change your destination and go to a more capable place." A kingdom that inspires you.”

Kuranta Knight Ji looked at the other party sincerely, her eyes seemed to be really shining brightly, making people unable to bear to refuse her kindness.

"Is that so?"

If it is true, as Margaret said, that Casimir and Ursus are as stretched as they are now, then it is indeed a problem.

Worm thought.

Should I waste my time witnessing, or should I look for another way?

"It's my personal idea to go to Casimir to find inspiration. The team really needs to go to the nearest mercenary station to pick up tasks and earn enough funds to maintain the team's daily expenses."

This is actually the reason why Worm chose to go to Casimir.Because I heard that being a mercenary was very popular in Casimir, Worm thought he could give it a try.

"Is that so... um."

Margaret had no reason to dissuade Worm anymore. After all, people need money to live. It was only after she left home that she realized that even a penny could stump the Shining Knight.

"First tell us the history of Casimir, Margaret."

Worm planned to listen to Margaret's opinion before considering the direction of the team's march.

"Okay. Then I'll start with the last war between Ursus and Casimir."

Margaret remembered this part of history very clearly, especially the legend of the second sun on that pass.

"Worm, they are all asleep."

It wasn't until late at night that Theresia finally found the opportunity to come out and talk to her children.

Because Theresia had given a signal of agreement by grabbing her clothes, Worm used the excuse of getting up at night to come out after noticing.

"You're still frowning. What are you thinking about?"

Theresia walked between the tents with the child, looking at his little face that now had a melancholy look on it, she pinched his cheek with some empathy.

"Has Theresia seen the Casimir described by Margaret?"

After listening to the story of Casimir's resistance to Ursus, Worm always felt that the story seemed familiar.

"Well, have you seen it?"

Theresia answered Worm with a rhetorical question. Seeing the child's puzzled expression, she chuckled twice, and then answered seriously.

"I have seen it, but it is not the glorious country of knights that the Kuranta girl said."

"You know, Worm. Suffering and oppression will never disappear. Even...even if our Kazdaele stands again, there will still be suffering and oppression remaining in your country."

Sarkaz has such a long history and has so many demon kings. Has any demon king ever thought of using the Black Crown to create a Kazdael that is completely true, good, and beautiful?

The result is naturally a failure.Because suffering cannot be killed, and the oppression caused by complex human hearts cannot be ended.

"So, stop worrying about what kind of place it is, what we can see there, and what we can learn there. We just need to go there first, and then take a look. If it doesn't suit our wishes, we will Get out of there and go somewhere new. There are things you don’t have to think about too much.”

Worm's growth is a good thing, but too much thinking will bring meaningless and complicated thoughts, make simple things complicated, make calm people suspicious, and make brave people shrink.

"Well, I see."

Worm understood the meaning of Theresia's words, and he felt that tomorrow he would be able to draw a conclusion on whether to go to Casimir or not.

"When you figure it out, just smile."

Theresia led Worm to a dark place in the camp, stood slightly on tiptoes, and gestured with her fingers on the face of Worm, who had grown taller.

"Also. I also need Worm's help to replenish energy."

She needs a lot of energy in this world, and she will not use the soul power accumulated by Worm at will. The normal energy expenses can only be paid by Worm.

"Worm, we are not going to Casimir?"

Dabuliu was a little surprised when he listened to Worm's words while holding his rice bowl.

"Yeah, W. I figured it out last night. If it's just for money, we could go to Colombia."

If Casimir really lived the kind of lavish life that Margaret said, then he should stop his losses in time and go to Colombia, which is not far away from Casimir and is younger and more promising.

"Let's go to the nearby mercenary stronghold first and pick up some missions to Colombia."

Worm already has some understanding and grasp of the team's operation, and knows how to use time as a mercenary to maximize the corresponding benefits.

"I don't have any objection to that."

Dabuliu doesn't matter, she will follow Worm wherever he wants to go.

And it would be better to go to Colombia. The products there seem to be richer than Casimir, which is very suitable for the Sakaz to hold a birthday party for Worm.

"I'll go discuss it with everyone."

Dabuliu watched the little devil pushing Liz away happily, and helplessly continued to wipe his gun.

Worm hasn't discovered it yet.

Most of the team members are the Demon King's guards, and the other half are civilians from Sakaz. Both sides look up to Worm, so how could they disagree with his plan.

"How's it going, Worm?"

After a while, the little devil came back. Even though his expression was still so indifferent, Dabuliu had already predicted what Worm would say.

"Everyone agrees, W."

"Right. Then let's turn around and go to Colombia."

The team hasn't penetrated deep into Casimir yet, so it's time to change goals and go anywhere.

"Colombia, Colombia."

The Carters girl looked up from her book and recited the relevant history of the country they were about to arrive.

"The time has come, it's time for you to rest, Amiya."

A Sakaz woman stepped out of the shadows of the room and reminded the girl of her study time.

"Well, thank you, Askaron."

Amiyaya put down the book, and then tried to find her treasured snacks from the drawer of the table, but when she opened the drawer, there was only an empty bag inside.

"If you still want to eat, you can tell the purchasing department and ask them to buy some for storage."

Askaron was thinking about something, and when he saw the girl's ears drooping in disappointment, he gave her some advice.

"But if you buy it new, it won't taste like the bag that Brother Worm gave me."

Does she like snacks?No, it's not.

She just likes and doesn't want to part with the care of her relatives contained in this pack of snacks.

"..."

logos, you are really guilty.

How could Ascalon not know what Worm looks like?This pack of snacks was just something that Logos bought for himself. When he saw Amiya, he picked up a pack and gave it to Amiya, tricking her into saying it was a return gift from Worm.

"Speaking of which, I remember... Brother Worm's birthday will be soon."

Amiya remembers it very clearly, or it could be that Worm's birthday is no longer a secret among the little devil's acquaintances.

It was a pity that Amiya had been in the infirmary during that time and had no chance to attend Worm's birthday party. When she could act independently, Worm was no longer with her.

"Yes. You remember it very clearly, Amiya."

"Ascalon wants to give Brother Worm any gifts?"

Amiya heard Theresa tell about the strange gifts that Worm's brother received at his birthday party.The three people who were close to Wurm all gave them valuable gifts.

Banshee logos will give you a finely carved bone pen and a precious Banshee's Kiss as a gift every time.

The Pardoner will give you some ancient Sarkarz curios, which are very interesting to hear.

Askaron will give some hand-carved small objects that contain his own magic, but he seems to have improved his knitting skills recently. So this time, does he want to give Worm a new scarf to thank for other clothes?

And she herself...

Amiya quietly looked at her small drawer.The new dolls inside already have specific appearances, and you can figure out who is who.She is confident that she can complete the production before Worm's birthday, but who can give them to Worm?

129. The weapon that arrived as promised, the soaring spear

"Um... Linguang?"

Liz woke up from her sleep and saw Knight Ji alone in the camp.Neither her demon nor the Shining were here.

"Liz, you're awake. Drink some water."

Margaret looked at her and handed the cup to her.

"Well, thank you, Linguang."

After drinking the water and feeling much better, Liz turned her attention elsewhere.

"Linguang, where did Worm go?"

Not having the Demon King by her side gave her a feeling of emptiness.However, the link between her and Worm is still firmly revealed, proving that her devil is waiting for her not far from her.
