The War Hero Raises a Demon Slave - The War Hero Raises a Demon Slave chapter 66
66 – Going on a trip abroad with the master (2)
Chief Mage Verabche entered the portal immediately after saying a brief goodbye to the Deputy Commissioner.
“I’ll be back, Captain.”
“Buy me a drink!”
As Security Captain Hadun shouted, Einer held out his hand.
“Give me money and I’ll buy it.”
“Shoot with the encouragement and reward you received!”
Einor smiled and put his arm around Ael’s shoulder.
“Then shall we go?”
“Yes, master…!”
Einor rode through the portal countless times during the war.
But for Ael, the only thing that happened was the portal that fell from the sky.
At that time, I was so harshly treated that I was very scared to cross the portal.
Is that exit properly open?
What if a problem arises and I end up breaking up with my master?
Ael followed Einer through the portal while worrying about all kinds of unnecessary things.
“aaah!!!”
Ael screamed as she was sucked into the strong magic of her dimension door.
“Ael. What are you doing?”
“Eh?”
Einor looked down at Ael blankly.
“Why are you yelling?”
“Eh?”
Ael looked around and realized that he was standing inside a building.
It was as if he had fallen into shallow water, not even up to his waist, and was struggling and begging for help.
What is it? Why am I in a place like this?
I thought I would slip, roll and crash around the winding magic cave?
If that’s not the case, isn’t the exit probably opened incorrectly?
“W, where am I? Did we come to the wrong place?”
“It’s the Kingdom of Berabche.”
“Huh?! No, I’m sure we just crossed the portal and have already arrived?”
“That’s what dimension gates are like.”
Nonsense! How can you just go from one end of the continent to the other as if you were opening a door?!
But is this the real Berabce Kingdom?
But no matter how much I looked around, it didn’t look like the inside of a royal castle.
It feels like an old abandoned warehouse.
A few people who appeared to be wizards wearing robes could be seen sitting at a desk over there, looking through some ledgers.
“Come this way.”
The head wizard next to him gestured.
“Write your name here and sign.”
Einer and Ael signed in turn on the ledger that was written as the portal entry list.
Next to him, the head wizard signed his name, and finally, the wizard sitting at the desk signed his name.
“Goodbye, Brione.”
“Good work everyone.”
Ael, who went outside under the guidance of the chief wizard, screamed.
“Wow!?”
The Kingdom of Verabche is a powerful nation that dominates the northern part of the continent.
Berabce, the capital of such a kingdom, is a large city that can safely be considered the birthplace of trends in the northern part of the continent.
The wide road, where four carriages could run side by side, was paved with straight paving stones and was clean without any trash.
Warriors were constantly coming and going on the road, and the sidewalks were crowded with well-dressed ladies and gentlemen.
The buildings along the street are all high-rise buildings with three or more floors, and are full of shops and offices, with no vacancies.
Each store caught people’s attention with its colorful and unique signboards and all kinds of rare luxury items.
Is that all?
Urban green parks, hotels, performance halls, and even streetlights using magic luminous objects lined up along the streets.
“It’s amazing….”
Ael was so mesmerized that drool drooled from his mouth and he turned his head.
“I thought Daham was big, but it was nothing compared to this…”
“Of course. Berabce is one of the largest cities on the entire continent.”
“Then why did you come to the city instead of the capital?”
The chief wizard answered that question on his behalf.
“Our royal shield disrupts the coordinates, so we can’t open the portal.”
A carriage stood on the side of the road to pick up Einer and Ael.
A top-of-the-line six-headed carriage pulled by six horses.
Glossy horses, gracefully curved passenger compartments made of mahogany, and coachmen wearing bright green and gold uniforms.
“What are you doing?”
First, the head wizard who got on the carriage looked back at Ael with a strange look in his eyes.
“Can I ride this?!”
As Ael was struggling and hesitated, unable to get on board, Ael smiled and pulled her by the arm.
“You can get on. Hurry up and get on.”
“Ah, yes… Wow…”
The interior of the carriage, up to the ceiling, was covered with velvet cushions, so Ael sat with only the tips of her buttocks lightly resting on it.
Although Einer was a former slave, after the war he was given the title of earl and lived an upper-class life for a short time, so this is not unfamiliar to him.
But Ael is a demon.
She continued to work in the Demon King’s kitchen, and after the war, she lived quietly in an underdeveloped area in the eastern part of the continent until she was captured as a slave.
That’s why he feels a huge burden from her sudden treatment.
“Sit comfortably, Ael.”
“No. How dare someone like me…”
The head wizard who was sitting across from me and watching the scene asked.
“If you’re a demon, then you’re a demon lord?”
“Ah, yes! I was a corps cook on the Eastern Front.”
“How many corps on the Eastern Front?”
“Eh, the 12th Legion.”
“12Th Corps? Wasn’t it in the central part, not the eastern part?”
“I moved from the central region to the eastern region. I don’t know the details. I just kept eating….”
Ael bowed her head and muttered.
After all, it is always uncomfortable to talk about the days of the Demon King Army to humans.
Just a few years ago, they were fighting each other to the death.
Even the chief wizard of the Verabche Kingdom.
Berabche is the kingdom that fought the fiercest, so much so that even I, who was just a soldier in the rear of the corps, had heard its name several times.
I’m sure that person was also fighting on the front lines.
“So you became a slave after the war?”
“That’s right. Originally, I stayed in the eastern part of the country, which was the last station. Then, when I heard that citizenship was being granted to demons here, I moved and ran into a slave trader….”
“Hmm. But what about you, Einer? Why did you bring a slave, Einer?”
When the wizard asked, Einer answered as if it was no big deal.
“I brought one more person.”
“That’s true, but I’m a bit curious since you said you’re a slave.”
“He’s my best friend.”
In response to your answer, the wizard nodded his head.
However, Ael was so embarrassed that his face turned red.
The master said that I was his best friend.
What does that mean?
Are you just saying this roughly because you’re too lazy to talk about it?
Or really?
But it hasn’t even been a few months since I saw you, master.
In fact, other group members lived with the owner for longer.
But the master said that I was his best friend.
What does it mean, what does it mean?!
Meanwhile, the carriage ran diligently and headed toward the royal castle of Berabche.
Berabce Royal Castle is located in the center of the city.
The entire 1km radius is a flat lawn with huge white bones scattered here and there, creating a spectacular sight.
These are all traces of the Demon King’s army’s failed attempt to attack Berabche Castle.
“Huh!? It’s a monster bone.”
Ael, who recognized it right away, pointed in that direction and shouted in excitement.
“Master! Look at that! There’s a monster bone!”
But it is still too early to be surprised.
After a while, ribs of an enormous size comparable to King Wangseong appeared.
It is said to be the Kingdom of Verabche, which destroyed the western front of the Demon King’s army, but did it fight against those monsters?
“hehehe. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. It’s so, so amazing!!”
Ael stamped his feet with a twinkle in his eye.
Einer smiled when he saw that.
As expected, it was a good idea to bring Ael.
* * * * *
We crossed the drawbridge and passed through the high, sturdy double walls.
When the carriage stopped in front of the castle of Berabche Royal Castle, Einer and his party all got off the carriage.
“Wow….”
As he looked up at the spiers soaring high into the sky, Ael let out a foolish exclamation.
“It’s really huge… My legs must be really sore to climb up there.”
“This way.”
The wizard entered the small door next to the large main entrance of the inner castle.
Contrary to the kingdom’s reputation, the interior was surprisingly simple and quiet.
According to Einer’s historical knowledge, the founder of the Berabche Kingdom was a wandering swordsman.
The tactical command post tent, created to raise power to calm the chaotic world, was the beginning of prosperity.
The kingdom inherited the spirit of business and expanded the royal castle as if it were a fortress or military facility.
That is why it is described as a royal castle, not a palace.
The head wizard, who stopped in the middle of the hallway, looked back at Einer and Ael and said.
“The chamberlain will guide you from here.”
“Thank you, Chief Wizard.”
“Then I’ll see you later at the medal award ceremony.”
The head wizard left and the chamberlain with a stern face guided Ael and Einer.
The place they went to was a large reception room where they inspected the clothing of people visiting the royal castle and educated them on etiquette.
Aner and Ael are foreigners, so they need to change into clothes appropriate for the event and know the order of the event.

“I will recover after taking a bath.”
“Yes? A bath?”
“This is an event where we can have a direct audience with His Majesty. It is only natural.”
“Okay…”
Einer and Ael were dragged into separate bathrooms.
“Master! See you later!”
Ael waved her hand.
* * * * *
After a while, Aner loosened the collar that was restricting his neck a little and cleared his throat.
It was because the formal clothes I wore for the first time in a long time were very uncomfortable.
Not only is it a design that fits the body perfectly, but Einer’s body is quite muscular.
Plus, the oiled hair was very stiff and very annoying.
As expected, a guy like me likes to walk around here and there while enjoying the sea breeze.
Anyway, when will Ael come out?
It’s been a while since I went in, but I can’t even see my nose removed.
“Hey, when does that side end?”
Einer asked the female worker next to her who was looking up at her.
The female employee, who had a mesmerized expression on her face as if she was dreaming, blinked in surprise.
“Well, what did you say?”
“The person who came with me. When will he come out?”
“Yes? Oh, wait a minute. Let me check.”
The female employee hurried into the locker room.
“Master….”
After a while, Ael, who had completed all preparations, waddled out.
“Who are you?”
These were the first words that came out of Einor’s mouth when he saw Ael.
