Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager-Chapter 637 - 324: This World Is Full of Malice Toward the Demon King (Part 2)

Chapter 637: Chapter 324: This World Is Full of Malice Toward the Demon King (Part 2)

The three of them did not go directly to Zituo Town upon arriving in the Wus Kingdom.

Merging into the crowd of villagers, tourists, merchants, adventurers, and travelers to head towards Zituo Town was the safest way to avoid revealing their identities.

The three of them were walking on a cobblestone road, heading in the direction of Zituo Town, surrounded by a stream of people.

Shami was disguised as a noble son, Pink Hair was his maid, and the one beside him with a helmet hiding her small face, White Hair, played the role of a guard.

This was the typical setup for a young noble’s outing. The three of them walked on the road seamlessly blending into the crowd.

As they reached the tail end of the crowd, Shami overheard the public discussing rumors. Everyone was discussing recent events on the Aireland Continent, and it was a good opportunity for Shami to see the impact of his second place on the trending searches.

"Even the Demon King doesn’t spare the bones, that’s too terrifying. Has the strange attraction to non-humans evolved to the point of being incomprehensible?"

A villager carrying goods to the market worriedly said.

The villager’s words immediately resonated with those around him.

"For the demon race, wouldn’t humans be considered non-humans?"

A young man pondered. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Oh no! Does this mean I could also be in danger? Maybe I should delay my travels."

A bearded backpacker reeking of body odor worriedly said.

"The Demon King is originally such an evil creature; wherever he goes, nothing grows. Sheep, cows, donkeys, countless living beings are persecuted."

"Everyone should watch their belongings carefully, because for this evil Demon King, everything other than humans is potentially endangered! It’s a coincidence that my family produces Fine Iron Chef’s Knives. Ladies and gentlemen, since we have met today, you don’t need 50 silver coins, just 39 silver coins to buy a weapon for self-defense..."

A merchant sincerely worried for the people.

"I don’t understand what’s so fascinating about skeletons."

A girl dressed in an ordinary mage’s robe expressed her confusion.

"You don’t get it; bones are more reliable than humans, no need to worry about sudden betrayal. You know what I mean, sometimes, even being married, at first everyone is willing, but in the end, getting accused of assault can still succeed."

A despondent man being escorted by the police chimed in.

"Stop talking nonsense. The verdict is out, you’re evicted with nothing but your clothes! The house and car go to the wife!"

"And sometimes, being alone in the wild, it’s really hard to find living people. Actually, bones can also be quite skeletal, offering a novel feeling, though they might stink of corpses. Maybe the Demon King experiences something similar..."

A burly man carrying a tomb-robbing bag sighed.

"The Demon King truly is a pervert!"

The crowd expressed their fear.

Listening at the side, Shami’s face grew darker.

Wasn’t this just a visual novel game? Why is everyone’s reaction so intense?

Whether it was the villagers or the residents of the town, whether it was a mercenary group or an adventurer team, everybody seemed more abnormal than him! What right do they have to criticize him!

Moreover, the man with the tomb-robbing bag was obviously the real pervert! Why could he still stand on the side of justice and critique him!

Standing accused by all, Shami, whose face was almost as dark as farming tools, tried to interject.

Shami smiled slightly.

"Actually, could there be some misunderstanding here? Like, that night the Demon King got into a daze after drinking a hundred glasses of strong liquor?"

"You don’t understand, how could it be an accident, how could a Demon King of that size get drunk so easily! I once locked eyes with the Demon King from afar, when I was hunting in the Primitive Forest. I was in the shadows, the Demon King was in the light. The Demon King’s massive body was like a grizzly bear..."

"?"

Shami looked suspiciously at the short, pimple-faced archer boasting.

I’ve never seen you before! Why fabricate such an unfounded meeting!

"The Demon King’s strange attraction to non-humans will get worse over time. Eventually, the Demon King will develop interests in all sorts of creatures and become a thoroughly wicked demon. I’ve studied the Demon King for decades in the hospital, no one understands the Demon King better than me."

An elderly man in patient attire spoke, and the crowd nodded in agreement.

He’s obviously some lunatic escaped from somewhere!

"If that’s the case, then everything makes sense. My farm always loses sheep and cows, even the fence has a hole in it. In the morning, when I go to the farm, I can still see the bloodstains left by the missing cattle and sheep on the ground. Probably all fell victim to the Demon King’s evil hands."

That’s clearly the work of a wolf!

"Hasn’t the nearby cemetery been robbed recently? The watchman saw the tomb-robbing was done by a burly man, and he did such things to those bones. Damn Demon King!"

The real culprit is right there, the man nervously covering up his tomb-robbing bag! Don’t attribute everything to him!

"Does that mean even after dying, we’ll still risk being harmed by the Demon King?"

"Oh no! My great-grandmother was once a beautiful woman, and people in town say her skeleton is excellent. Great! Grand! Mother!"

A young man suddenly thought of something, cried out, and ran off in panic.

Shami stopped in place, exuding an immensely dark aura, as if a giant vortex of the Abyss had emerged centered on him, scaring people to detour around him.

"The pressure of public opinion seems stronger than imagined, Lord Shami."

The pink-haired girl mused aloud.

"It’s all because of you!"

Shami glared at the pink-haired girl, gritting his teeth.

"How about I erase their memories?"

The white-haired girl asked worriedly, looking at Shami.

"Lina, do you have any good ideas?"

"If their heads are chopped off, then the memories will be gone, right?"

The white-haired girl raised her long sword, her intimidating aura dispelling much of Shami’s darkness.

The pink-haired girl hurriedly pulled the two away from the crowd, to the side of the road.

"No need to be so harsh, Miss Lina, just cut their tongues, and they won’t be able to talk anymore."

"That makes sense."

Seeing that the white-haired girl seemed ready to act, Shami ultimately stopped her.

"Too late, it’s already too late. This kind of physical memory loss and mouth sealing won’t solve the problem, it’s only treating the symptoms, not the root cause."

The Demon King who had felt boundless malice from the start knows, now it’s too late to do such a thing.

The trending list is continent-wide, and if people here think this way, then people in other regions basically view the situation similarly.

That means currently on the whole of Aireland Continent, the dignity and image of the Demon King face an unprecedented challenge.

Shami slightly looked up, to prevent tears from falling.

Every Demon King on the Aireland Continent has an exclusive title, established by the kingdoms and Mage Association to remind future generations of each Demon King’s terror and to reflect the impact they brought to the continent.

For example, the first Demon King’s title was [Calamity]; the 31st, who loved night ambushes on humans, was [Nightmare]; the 44th, who fought against humans for twenty years, was [Drought] and so on...

These titles can somewhat reflect the uniqueness of that Demon King.

The 71st Demon King, who set the record for the fastest defeat by an adventurer team and failed to let the demon race destroy even a single kingdom during his reign, Luwaka’s title was—

[Peace].

Among the demon race, it’s filled with mockery.

But currently, Shami is no longer in the mood to mock Luwaka.

If he doesn’t handle this matter well, and lets it continue to ferment, he will definitely receive an even more mocking title than Luwaka—[Perversion].

What kind of Demon King has such a title! If he doesn’t urgently correct this while in the middle of history, he will be infamous for eternity!

Shami looked up at the sky.

"Lord Shami?"

"Shami?"

"It’s windy; sand got in my eyes. Let me look at the sky for a bit."

"But we’re almost at Zituo Town."
