Home/ The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns/ Chapter 59
“You…” Fran’s lips twitched. Not seeing the iconic demon hunter badge, he couldn’t help but have some doubts in his heart. But this person is wearing a demon hunter’s coat, dressed in such a carefree way that it made him look very…
Powerful!
Fran stood up staggeringly, and the people from the Secret Council quickly stepped forward to protect him, but even so, Fran still felt unsafe in front of this powerful demon hunter. The other party could knock him to the ground like he did just now and look down arrogantly.
It seems that the other high-level demon hunters who are in charge have arrived. Damn it, I thought there are no demon hunters with a third-class star or above in this town…
The weapon master was stunned at that moment, and after taking a closer look, he realised that it was Ansel. He muttered to himself, wondering what kind of medicine Ansel was selling in his gourd. Joey bumped into him from the side and winked fiercely.
The weapon master had no choice but to lower his head like other demon hunters, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
“I don’t care why you people from the Secret Council are here. But this is the territory set by the Demon Hunter Club. Before I take action…” Ansel raised his chin slightly, his eyes sharp, “Get lost.”
Fran gritted his teeth in anger, and even though he was completely overwhelmed in momentum, he still refused to accept it.
“As long as we get three high-level demons… we will…”
What responded to him was the sound of all weapons being unsheathed, and the crossbow was aimed at Fran’s head. At such a close distance, one arrow could make his head explode.
“I’m not negotiating with you.” The demon hunter, who was not wearing a star badge, said coldly. His sunset-coloured pupils suddenly opened, and the sudden sense of oppression even made the weaker members of the Secret Council in the field fight with their legs in order to prevent themselves from kneeling on the spot.
“I will give you one minute, get out! Otherwise, if you want three living high-level demons, then I also want a few freshly chopped heads!”
The crossbow in his hand moved downwards, pointing at Fran’s hand.
“The hands of an alchemist must be very precious, right?”
Fran: “!!!”
He was really afraid, how precious the alchemist’s hands were! Fran had no doubt that if he continued to resist, the other party would definitely cut off his hands, pierce his eyes with the tip of the arrow, and make him crawl on the ground like a dog and roll out…
Ansel: “…”
The alchemist’s pupils have become so large that they seem to have doubled. What kind of torture is he experiencing?
Fran could barely control the trembling of his body. The people from the Secret Council supported him, and they fled in a hurry like stray dogs within the time set by the other party.
Ansel made sure that they had really left, and his previous aura subsided, returning to what he thought was ordinary and unremarkable. People of the Secret Council are not very capable of withstanding pressure. When His Majesty the Demon King scolds his subordinates who neglect their duties, deal with traitors who failed to handle affairs, and tears face with the demon lords on the spot… it is much worse than this.
While thinking, he suddenly turned his head.
“Should we report what happened just now…?”
As a result, he caught sight of the weapon master hiding behind Joey like a frightened rabbit. Seeing Ansel looking at him with strange eyes, he blushed.
Joey was also stuttering next to him.
“Big, big Demon King!”
Ansel was suddenly shocked. When? When was his identity exposed? !
After getting stuck a few times, Joey finally spoke the whole sentence smoothly.
“Ansel just now looked like a big Demon King.”
Ansel: “…”
Don’t scare him! I thought my identity was exposed! The Demon King’s nerves are also very fragile!
At this time, other demon hunters also gathered around, all with lingering fears, but without exception, they praised Ansel’s performance just now.
“Yes, Joey is right, I was scared to death just now!”
“I thought Ansel was going to chop off his hands, pierce his eyes with the tip of the arrow, and make him crawl on the ground like a dog and roll out…”
Ansel: “…”
This is outrageous.
Ansel feels that most of the time, he still takes the overall situation into consideration and is very reasonable. For example, just look at how Levi had messed up several of his border trade deals, but he didn’t care much about it and just “gently” stabbed an arrow between Levi’s legs remotely while he was sleeping? He often warned the disobedient demon lords in the Eastern Region like this. Thanks to his reasonable behavior, the atmosphere in the entire Eastern Region is very harmonious.
Sigh, isn’t it because he is just too reasonable? One day, he will change his damn gentle personality.
Ansel took off the jacket and gave it back to Joey, then pinned the sixth-class star badge on his chest. He still remembered the previous topic, so he asked the weapon master.
“What happened just now needs to be reported, right?”
The weapon master nodded affirmatively. Speaking of which, at first he was worried that Ansel was young and energetic and would directly conflict with the Secret Council. But it turns out that Ansel is extremely calm and considered the club’s stance, which is rare for a newcomer.
“All the second-class stars have gone to the demon’s nest. We shouldn’t disturb them. I will report the matter to Miss Sylvia and wait for her reply.”
Ansel pondered for a moment.
“The demon hunting operation cannot be terminated until we get a reply. My suggestion is to divide the manpower into two parts.” He narrowed his eyes slightly and extended two fingers. “One group needs to patrol the periphery part-time and stay vigilant to prevent any secret actions; the other group should hunt monsters normally and act according to the original plan… Joey, what are you doing?”
Joey stopped writing and blinked at him.
“Ansel, let me take note of the new arrangements. A good memory is no match for a bad pen.”
The weapon master also looked serious and gestured for Joey to continue writing.
“Let him take notes and notify others later to avoid any mistakes.”
Ansel was speechless for a while, it felt like Bululu taking notes of his speech during the meetings in the demon world.
He sighed and decided to help people to the end.
“Also, when reporting, just ask two things.”
“Firstly, if the demon hunting process is interfered with, should we engage in a deadly battle with the members of the Secret Council; Secondly…”
His expression became somewhat serious.
“Can enough manpower be arranged on the outskirts to evacuate the residents of the town?”
The weapon master’s expression changed and he frowned slightly.
“Has the situation come to this already?”
“Actually, this should be done at the moment the reinforcements were sent out.” Ansel said, “But the club is a non-governmental organisation, so it’s very difficult to operate. I can understand that.”
The forces in the human world are intertwined, so it is inevitable that such problems will arise. The Demon Hunter Club has good intentions, but it is inevitably constrained by the lack of authority and manpower. It seems that the demon world is still simple, and with a single command of the Demon King, a large army can be dispatched.
The weapon master believed that he could only hunt demons and was not qualified to deal with such troubles, so he immediately planned to dial the communication and let Ansel talk to Miss Sylvia directly.
Unexpectedly, Ansel turned around and left.
“You can do the communications yourself. There are still some areas in the memorial that have not been cleaned up.”
The weapon master was startled.
Ansel, is this to… attribute all the credit to him?
***
Ansel didn’t care about the credit in the human world. As he walked back to the memorial hall, the goose followed him.
Ansel lightly tapped the top of the goose’s head with his fingertips and said, “I don’t know what orders Saros gave to the Secret Council. It’s very strange.”
“After we complete this mission, let’s ask him.”
Ansel spoke casually, but the black swan felt guilty and dared not move its head, letting Ansel pat it back and forth. It raised its dark blue eyes and stared at Ansel who was walking beside him, looking lifeless.
Secret Council is a net he casted. With his sensitivity and familiarity with monsters, the movement of the Secret Council will become an indicator of the monsters’ location. In addition, Saros also realised that Ansel intends to gather the power of the human world, so a target is essential.
Therefore, the Secret Council with his backing was just right for this purpose.
Ansel felt that the further he walked, the closer the goose came to him, finally clinging to his leg. He lowered his head and looked at the goose’s blinking dark blue eyes, thinking that this goose was no longer acting stupid.
“You are really…”
He smiled and was about to pick up the goose, but the goose nervously avoided his hand and ran to the side first.
Goose: Wait, let him wipe his feet first.
There were still some monsters left in the memorial hall. Ansel originally planned to clean it up by himself, but the magic mirror phone rang at this time. He looked at the time and saw that it was about time to handle the affairs of the demon world.
Unfortunately, there’s another miserable job for him to handle.
So the goose was released to hunt monsters, while Ansel found a corner by himself and pressed the official document against the wall to approve. After a while, he felt that this position was really uncomfortable, so he pulled up a chair, sat in the corner, and continued to work hard.
Suddenly, the magic mirror shook slightly, it was cross-border communication.
“Andre.” Whiles reviewing official documents, His Majesty the Demon King answered the call, with a flock of goose brothers running and flying up and down with a clatter in the background.
“Good day, Your Majesty.”
Andre’s image appeared on the magic mirror, still smiling and dressed meticulously. But when he saw the environment in which Ansel was reviewing the official documents, he burst into tears.
“Your Majesty? Your Majesty! What are you…!”
The prime minister burst into tears.
“Vassago, come and see! His Majesty is sitting on the ground reviewing official documents. How difficult it is! Vassago… fainted?”
The loyal supervisor is usually responsible for His Majesty’s daily life. Looking at the hardships suffered by His Majesty’s in the human world, it was really unacceptable to him. As a result, he fainted for three seconds.
Three seconds later, a tearful fish eye completely occupied the entire magic mirror screen.
“Your Majesty, woo…woo… wooo!”
“Sure enough! Sure enough, we shouldn’t have left His Majesty’s side! Although the size of the room is acceptable, the dim lighting, the rough ground, and just the curtain behind… Who is in charge of washing? How could they be so respectful!”
Ansel’s face looked blank.
“No, this is not my residence in the human world.”
This is a memorial hall. Actually, in terms of decoration, Ansel thinks this memorial hall is pretty good?
“I live in a luxury hotel in the human world, so you don’t have to worry about this.” He gestured about the size of the room, “It’s about this big, it’s quite big.”
The supervisor and the prime minister slowly shed tears together.
So small.
His Majesty has suffered.
It’s no use crying at this moment. Andre took off his glasses and wiped his tears. He was determined to rush to His Majesty as soon as possible, and it was precisely this matter that he wanted to report.
“Your Majesty, please forgive us for our incompetence.” Andre’s face was full of pain. “Unexpectedly, until now, we have been unable to open the passage to the human world. We could only tear open a crack the size of a palm.”
This is still the result of the cooperation between Suberbian City and Luster City. The famous alchemists in the city were summoned, including demons who are proficient in space magic. Naturally, the news that the two Demon Kings are currently in the human realm cannot be disclosed. So, they only asked people to reopen the passage between the two realms. Unfortunately, the results so far have been minimal.
Can’t open it? Ansel thought for a moment.
“I have a candidate here, I would like to recommend him to you.” Ansel didn’t hesitate to praise him, “It can be said that he is the greatest alchemist in the demon world. I will personally write to him, asking him to take action.”
Alarm bells started ringing in Andre’s heart, but for the time being, there was no obvious overlap between the alchemist and the business of the prime minister, so it shouldn’t affect his important position in His Majesty’s heart, so he bowed slightly.
“Understood, I will make preparations to receive him.”
The great alchemist was the maker of Ansel’s horn headband. Ansel had previously written a letter to repair his horns, experiencing a series of twists and turns from the demon world to the human world. In his hand was the reply delivered to him today, containing a space ring with layers of codes.
New horns!
“With his intervention, the passage between the two realms will soon be established.” Holding the space ring with new horns, Ansel was full of confidence. “Before that, I would also consider establishing contact through other means. You have already torn open a crack the size of a palm… so for example…”
Ansel was originally just casually speaking, but when the words reached his lips, he suddenly continued naturally.
“For example…”
He blinked his eyes.
“Demon summoning?”
