Defeating the Demon King was just a deal that Goddess Eris made with him, and the price was that Goddess Eris would fulfill any one of his wishes.

"this...!?"

Wiz looked at Shen Yuan in astonishment. He didn't expect that the hero's words would be more terrifying than the devil's.

This doesn't look like a normal hero at all.

"So, Ms. Wiz, I've decided to give you a way to make a living. I'll allow you to use your magic items to support our adventurer team in their quest to defeat the Demon King. Of course, we'll also provide you with financial support if you're ever in need."

"Wait! You mean to let me betray the Demon King's army and train a team of heroes to defeat the Demon King?!"

Wiz looked at Shen Yuan in shock. Is this something a human could say?

"It's not betrayal. Rather, you can steal the magic items from the Demon King's army and sell them to us. As we grow stronger, we will push towards the Demon King's camp. Ultimately, we will defeat the Demon King, and then, as a general of the Demon King's army, you will be free."

"this......"

"Ms. Wiz." Seeing that the other party was still a little unable to react, Shen Yuan began to play the role of a logical genius and said, "If I didn't know you were a lich, would you sell us magic props?"

"Yes!" Wiz nodded.

"Where did you get that item? Miss Loli Succubus told me that you stole some of it from Vanir. So, why don't you sell off his assets and buy some top-quality magic crystals that a novice wouldn't need. Make him feel like he's back to the pre-liberation era overnight... Oh no, resell these magic crystals to us at a high price. That way, you'll have enough funds to help the Demon King's army build the dungeon."

"Your performance has greatly improved, and we can continue to put pressure on the Demon King's army. Think about it, if even an ace adventurer team like us disappears, then the Demon King's army will have no pressure at all. If they have no pressure, you will be unemployed! Do you still want to continue to be poor and destitute, a useless magic item store manager?"

Suddenly, Shen Yuan's words woke the dreamer up.

Wiz suddenly realized.

"I understand! I'll sell you the magic items, and you'll put pressure on the Demon King's army. Then I'll bring them funds to expand their ranks and fill the vacancies, right?"

As the owner of a small magic item shop in Axel City, Wiz lives a life troubled by money all day long.

But Shen Yuan's words made her see business opportunities.

Anyway, this is also a battle of wits and courage between the Demon King's Army and the Brave Team. Although she is a cadre of the Demon King's Army, her other identity is a businessman. As long as she does not expose the information about the cadres of the Demon King's Army and the Demon King, it is not considered a betrayal. After all, it is just selling props. It doesn't matter who she sells to.

"You're so smart, Ms. Wiz. (baac) You have the potential to become a big capitalist. You'll definitely be a business tycoon in Axel City in the future. I'm very optimistic about you!"

Money is not important to Shen Yuan at all.

Don’t forget that the currency of this world is named after the goddess “Eris”. As long as the goddess Eris is by your side, you can make money even if you gamble.

However, since we are a team of heroes, we can get a lot of money just by defeating the Demon King's army.

This money is paid by the Adventurer's Guild, and the Adventurer's Guild's money comes from ordinary people who are harassed by monsters... In other words, there are constant wars and conflicts between the Demon King's army and the heroes, and the bigger and richer both sides become.

As for the purpose of doing this, for Shen Yuan, it is probably to add layers of "supernatural evil power".

He needs a lot of soul experience points, so he must sacrifice his life.

Maybe it's a human, maybe it's a monster.

When I become strong enough to cover the world with one hand, the position of the Demon King will have to be handed over to me. At that time, I will have the final say on whether this alien world is in chaos or not.

"Happy cooperation!"

Wiz suddenly stretched out a hand and looked at Shen Yuan excitedly.

It seemed that she was tempted by his twisted ideas and illogical plans. In her eyes, he was about to make a fortune.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, but forget about the handshake."

Because the opponent is a lich, if I hold it, it might add some negative benefits to myself.

"Uh... sorry, hehehe, that's it for now! I look forward to our future cooperation! Mr. Brave~Mr. Shen Yuan."

"Good night, Miss Weiss."

After saying that, Shen Yuan watched Wiz happily humming a little tune as he left.

As soon as he turned around, he saw the silver-haired thief girl Chris who had been lowering her head and seemed to be angry.

"Chris, why are you here?"

"I heard everything..." Chris raised his head and looked at Shen Yuan with resentment: "I will tell everyone about you secretly going to the Succubus Cafe and colluding with the cadres of the Demon King's Army!"

"No, now that you've heard it. What do you think of this plan?"

"Eh--?"

Chris was stunned for a moment, then analyzed, "Isn't it about colluding with the Demon King's army to stage a plot to harm the people, and then splitting the profits after the success?"

"That's what it seems, but in reality, we're using the power of the Demon King's army to strengthen our own forces."

Shen Yuan placed a hand on Chris's shoulder and said meaningfully, "You're still too young. When the initiative is in our hands, the Demon King's army has already lost. When it really comes to that, won't we still have the final say on when to take action?"

“It seems to make sense!”

Chris's eyes lit up and he understood Shen Yuan's idea.

“Do you think I’m negotiating business with the Demon King’s army? If Goddess Eris were here, she wouldn’t be so slow to react. She’d figure it out instantly, right?”

Shen Yuan laughed and mocked, causing Chris to puff up his cheeks, not knowing how to refute.

It didn't take long.

In the double room of the hotel, Huihui and Darkness were also woken up. The four of them gathered here and listened to Chris and Shen Yuan talk about what had just happened.

of course.

Shen Yuan did not mention a word about the Succubus Café incident, only saying that it was an investigation of intelligence.

"I see... That's a great idea!"

"But where do we get so much money?"

Huihui said the plan was good, but she was a poor person.

"We'll have to ask the great goddess Eris if she'll still be with us. Let's pray and make a wish!"

"..."

Chris also turned a blind eye and made a wish with them.

I still can't let them find out about making a wish for myself.

But the goddess of luck is always on this side. With Chris's lucky bonus, this team is destined to have smooth sailing.

The premise is - don't let Aqua target you!

Otherwise, no matter how lucky you are, you will still be plagued by bad luck, as we can see from the last incident with the Headless Knight Beldia.

Aqua's bad luck can be said to be more terrible than a curse.

Chapter 66: The Death Crown of the Destroyer! The Strongest Explosive Magic!

after a while.

The fact that the Demon King's army cadres were eliminated has gradually been forgotten.

The evil little wizard, Chris who calls himself the Silver Moon Assassin, the super masochist Crusader Darkness, and the great wizard Huihui who suffers from the Chunibyo syndrome.

Gathering in the Adventurer's Tavern, they, who had been drinking and doing nothing all day, began to discuss their big daydreaming plan.

"So......"

Darkness, wearing light clothing and a greatsword at her waist, lifted her long golden hair and sat down in the empty seat.

Megumin, the red-eyed magician wearing an eyepatch, did the same and sat down next to her.

"This time's mission is to intercept the ancient weapon, the mobile fortress 'Destroyer,' which has gone rogue. To prevent the destruction of towns along its path, we're recruiting adventurers to intercept it!"

"It looks like an ancient mechanical creature like a ruins guard."

"How much is the reward?"

"It seems like it's quite a lot, at least tens of millions..."

"Okay, let's deal with it!"

Everyone seemed to be very interested in this Mobile Fortress Destroyer, mainly because of its bounty.

"I think it's just a useless machine that can be killed instantly with explosion magic. Sending so many people is a waste of manpower!"

Shen Yuan curled his lips and spoke.

"really?"

That's what it says.

But when a group of people saw that guy a few hours later, their expressions changed instantly.

......

On the outskirts of town.

Hundreds of adventurers and a large number of townspeople were digging trenches and setting up traps and roadblocks non-stop.

These are used to intercept incoming enemies and meet the attacks of destroyers.

From behind the distant hills, a huge head can be vaguely seen.

That must be the so-called Mobile Fortress Destroyer itself - it is extremely huge, probably dozens of meters high and nearly a hundred meters in size.

At the same time, I vaguely felt a slight vibration in the ground.

Although it was very slight, the ground was obviously shaking, which shows that its tonnage was not low.

"That thing is way too big..."

Huihui said dumbfoundedly.

Although she was well aware of the power of explosion magic.

But in this situation, she was a little unconfident, and both Darkness and Chris felt helpless.

“If I use the primal magic – ‘Energy Explosion’, I might be able to resolve it, but… Megumin, I leave it to you!”

Honestly.

Shen Yuan was not interested in this soulless guy.

Because even if you knock it down, it won't be able to provide many layers of supernatural evil power. It's just a lump of iron.

In this situation.

Unless absolutely necessary, it is better to give it to others.

After a period of time.

The feeling of the earth shaking was getting stronger and stronger, and some people had begun to see the approach of the Mobile Fortress Destroyer.

"It's so huge! And it moves so fast, it's even scarier than I imagined!"

Faced with the approaching giant mechanical creature, the adventurers were all panicked.

"Brave man, quickly use your invincible explosion magic to get rid of it!"

"Help! If we fight this kind of enemy, we will surely die!"

"It's coming! Everyone, keep your heads down! Don't get in front of the Destroyer, or you'll get crushed into a pulp!"

Someone shouted this, but honestly, they simply didn't have the strength to fight against this mechanical monster.

Shen Yuan is powerful, but he doesn't want to waste his mana.

Decided to give the opportunity to Huihui.

This wasn't about taking a human head, but there wouldn't be any supernatural evil power added to knock down this iron lump. He had absolutely no interest in weapons made by this ancient civilization.

But why did it suddenly appear here?

Who knows, maybe it was done by the Demon King's army.

“Hey, Huihui! Are you okay? Don’t be nervous, just go for it!”

Chris encouraged.

The oppressive feeling of the Mobile Fortress Destroyer in front of him was overwhelmingly terrifying, far greater than that of the Headless Horseman.

"Let it go, let it go, don't worry! I will definitely use explosion magic to blow it up to ashes!"

Megumin stammered to Darkness and the others.

"Don't worry! Even if you fail, no one will blame you. If you fail, just abandon the town and escape together. Don't overthink it!"
