Chapter 30: A Season Spent in Hell (2)
I still imagine a harsh and cruel place whenever I picture the demon world, but I know this imagery is wrong because of all the things Lapis had told me. Like how even the demon world has a lot of luxurious, civilized cities as well.
Would Lapis lead me to a savage area of all places? I really want to take a proper break this time. I decided to clean my dungeon’s front yard before going on a genuine vacation.
What did I mean by this?
“O-O Greater Being, what has brought Your Greatness to exert your presence in a humble place like this?”
An old man with white hair uttered as he kowtowed on the ground. Nearly a hundred people were kowtowing behind the old man as well. They were slash-and-burn farmers. They were people who farmed and lived on mountainsides which were normally filled with beasts and monsters, so they were stronger and braver than the average person.
The reason why they were kneeling before me was simple. There were roughly 30 golems currently surrounding them. This was the force I had procured after spending the rest of my funds.
With my Acting skill activated, I spoke.
“Humble? Did you just call this place humble?”
“Y-Yes.”
