With Aster's appearance, all monsters that had become a disaster had been defeated, he was like a bright light that came to shine on everyone.
With this time, Icarus and his troops only needed to kill the monsters in the city's surroundings.
Their number has reached more than 200, and the dead corpse also more than 50 people. Even though this is small, failure is still a failure.
News of this may be very advantageous for other areas, Eunzalaria is currently facing a period of war. Many other kingdoms will certainly take advantage of the events that occur.
Aster was very well received by everyone in the city, he had been regarded as a great person. His name has been known as a person who always gives light of life.
"Your Majesty Alstein!" Aster bowed his body to pay respects to that old man.
"Oh… Aster, I'm so grateful! Thanks to you, this kingdom was spared death and destruction! I don't know how to repay your kindness!"
"You only need to give me 1000 gold coins!"
Everyone's eyes were suddenly shocked to hear those words, this was something was felt very inappropriate for a hero who had been acknowledged by everyone to be paying for his actions.
"What do you mean? Aren't you the hero who is supposed to protect the entire area?"
Aster lifted the corners of his lips. "Don't joke, I'm here to save this kingdom, but that doesn't mean I won't charge you! You should be ashamed if you can only ask for help, but can't pay for it! Eunzalaria is a big kingdom, why are you guys afraid to pay me? Is the risk too great for you to be afraid to pay me?"
The atmosphere became quiet, and those who were there began to admit what Aster said was the truth. The nobles questioned whether this act was appropriate for a hero.
"Your Majesty, I'm just asking for that fee, I won't ask you anymore! You must have understood that here Demon Lord's side will make a move, they will sooner or later take action! If you guys continue to think what I'm saying is unreasonable, then all of you here are nothing but cowards who fear prosperity! The price you give is quite commensurate with the glory you will get, if you don't consider it an advantage then everything you want will definitely not come true!"
Everyone is more confused by Aster's words, on the other side this is indeed something a kingdom should be able to do.
Paying one person might not be a mistake, but Alstein objected due to the current condition they were in a state of war. Spending too much money will certainly complicate the existing conditions.
Icarus clenched his fists, here he wanted to speak up to reject Aster's wishes, but he was unable to do it.
"Okay!"
This voice instantly caused everyone to stare at Alstein.
"I think it's only right that we pay for what you've done, if it weren't for you, this kingdom might have fallen!"
A guard started carrying a chest filled with piles of money.
Aster has shown a wide smile. "Yes, I admit this is the money I want, I hope you will never hesitate to ask me for help!"
Aster took the money and left the royal palace.
"Uh?" Aster felt that someone from a distance was looking at him, he instantly turned his head. However, there was no one. "Was it just imagine?"

Tsurugi went east, he wanted to find out about the world he had visited.
"So funny, why is there such a greedy hero here! No wonder I was sent to give judgment, it turns out that the world here has deviated too far from a norm of truth!"
Thinking about what to do made him even more reluctant, this was indeed the fact he was most reluctant to live with.
Tsurugi tried to check the area he had just come to, and it really was an area with very bad terrain.
"Come on, quickly!"
A man was giving orders to the slaves he had just obtained, they were looking down with shabby clothes.
Tsurugi didn't really care about that, there wasn't only one slave seller, but there were many people doing disgusting things.
The prostitutes also stood on the side of the road in revealing clothes, they teased the men who passed by.
"Isn't there a world that I can come to in fine conditions?"
Before this, Tsurugi had had a troubled life, he was thrown into that world with a body that had no abilities. After all that he managed to wake up, suddenly he was now there to give a judgment, previously he had also done the same thing to build a fairly large empire with great people.
He did not establish a kingdom to defend the truth, but to destroy the selfishness in the hearts of every living being.
In the middle of a deserted forest, Tsurugi sat contemplating.
"Okay, let's get started! First what happened to me until I have to be here? That battle! Yes, it was that battle that made me have to be here, facing the greedy nature of living beings then led to such a troublesome task like this! Now where should I start to finish everything? That white thing, he really a bastard! Do I really have to start all over again? Or should I go and defeat all creatures in this world?" Tsurugi looked at his hands, he felt the strength he had was still in its normal state.
If he did the attack it might be successful, but he became curious as to what kind of enemy he would face in his current condition.
"Alright, I guess it's about time I did something! Here I will make everything into what he wants! I'll make everything I've ever done happen here, I won't give every filthy life anything to do with it! First I have to have some equipment!"
When dawn had come, Tsurugi quickly walk off again. He wanted to find a city that was much better than the previous city.
