The Celebration Banquet and the Beginning of an Affair (1)

Rumors of the black mage spread quickly.

Since passersby had witnessed the enormous golem and the barrier, there was no stopping the rumors. Word traveled a thousand li even in another world.

So the lord of Sargadis immediately posted a proclamation to keep public opinion from turning against him. He presented evidence that he had detected the black mage early and formed an alliance.

“As expected of Lord Hennesis!”

“Long live the wise and benevolent Lord Hennesis!”

When the black mage’s corpse (= his head) was put on display, the citizens of Sargadis raised their voices in praise of their lord. People were damn simple.

The adventurers had crushed the mastermind and returned in triumph just one day after the rumor spread, so it was no wonder the citizens felt relieved.

But I was too busy being amazed that the lord here was named Joteru von Hennesis to feel much sympathy.

How the hell could someone be named Hennesis?

It sounded like the name of some chaotic flea-market bazaar...
