"!"
The king almost choked. How long has it been? It's so fast! Their efficiency is incredible.
He wanted to calm his excited heart, but El hadn't finished speaking.
"A new demon king probably won't appear for many years."
"?"
The king didn't quite understand what this meant, that the demon king wouldn't appear for many years.
The Demon King of the Demon Clan often appears as soon as the hero kills the previous one.
However, the new Demon King understood the power of the hero and generally lost that desire for war.
Only demon kings who have been separated from the hero's story for a long time would be so ignorant and reckless as to want to cause trouble.
Many question marks appeared above the king's head.
"In the process, we also dealt with the demons repeatedly, and they are unlikely to dare to cause trouble for many years."
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."
The king was truly taken aback this time. El's series of good news came too suddenly, and he felt his heart, which had just caught its breath, begin to race again.
"No, Your Excellency, I... am I dreaming?"
He was so excited that he could hardly speak, but that was understandable, having personally experienced the story of the hero defeating the demon king and received the hero's promise that "it is safe now and peace has returned."
Their kingdom doesn't have to worry about being invaded, the soldiers on the border don't have to sacrifice themselves, and the people within their borders can live a better life.
As king, he felt genuine joy.
If it weren't for the fact that as a king one should be mindful of one's personal image, and that the chief court magician had already come over upon hearing the commotion.
He wished he could raise his hands and shout that he could never repay the hero's kindness.
"I'm so touched, so incredibly moved. Your Excellency, please go and rest. The palace has reserved twenty rooms of different styles for you to rest in."
I will immediately inform the chefs to prepare the dinner according to the recipes you left behind.
Don't worry, we've recently brought over a lot of monster ingredients from the front lines, and everyone's cooking skills have improved, so we're sure to give you a perfect welcome-back feast.
The king pulled El toward the lounge, while the chief court mage beside them shook his head, looking helpless.
"Your Excellency, please don't be too surprised. Actually, this is just how my old friend is."
When we first met, he was always someone who couldn't stop, but the throne required him to maintain a certain level of authority.
You can rest now. Besides the welcome banquet, we've also planned a grand celebration banquet.
The chief court magician told El that the king had already made this plan before he returned, because they all believed that with El's strength, he would definitely return victorious.
The victory celebration banquet was first held using magical devices to send news of the victory to the entire kingdom and the other three major kingdoms.
Then, tell them that as long as they are capable and want to come, the capital will invite them, and a month later, all spectators around the capital will be invited to celebrate together for free.
This is the grandest banquet, and it is also a tradition of celebration banquets for heroes throughout the ages.
The cost of the victory celebration was not a problem for the kingdom, after all, several heroes had brought back knowledge from their worlds, and the kingdom's productivity had improved several times over.
Spend a little money so that everyone can witness this historic moment, and let the hero feel that his efforts and achievements are recognized by everyone, and that his existence is admired by everyone.
A world where emotional value is maximized and everyone is happy has been achieved.
