ASR 1000: A History Lecture at a Certain School
Next, let’s discuss what the Demon Kingdom is.
When you think about it, the existence of the Demon King himself does not appear on the stage of history as often as you might think.
If you didn’t know that the Demon Kingdom existed in reality, you might think that it was just a piece of local folklore. It’s not surprising that some people would laugh it off.
In fact, the demon king is a living legend in some respects.
Since the discovery of the Demon Kingdom, his country’s defenses have never been breached in fact up to this day.
It also means that no one can prove the existence of the Demon King.
In the academic circles to which our lecturers belong, some people are asking, “Does it really still exist?
But those who do are in the minority.
In fact, there is no one left who does not believe in his existence.
Of course, it could also be because of too big a historical event.
Everyone believes in its existence, even though they have never seen it before.
In academic circles, the existence of the Demon King is always refuted with one word.
So, who are the Four Heavenly Kings following?
This is also my personal opinion, but influence on a country is not necessarily the same as visibility of its existence.
The reason why Demon King is still famous today is largely due to the existence of the “Four Heavenly Kings”.
Now, let’s discuss once again the Four Heavenly Kings, who are said to be the highest officials of the Demon Kingdom.
As you know, it’s called the Four Heavenly Kings, so there are four of them.
The first one.
The great harlot of hell, the Demon Queen Suzuka.
Demon kings and the four heavenly kings are often depicted in the form of beasts to symbolize their existence.
While the symbol of the Demon King is a dragon, the symbol of the Demon Queen Suzuka is a snake.
Some paintings show a woman with a large snake wrapped around her body, while others show a person on the upper half of her body and a snake on the lower half.
Both of them are still disastrous, but from the perspective of the school, disastrous should not be the end of the story. It is important to understand why each person’s image is so different.
The Demon Queen Suzuka is less likely to appear on the stage of history than the Demon King.
Therefore, it is not clear which image is the true one, or even if there is any image that can be taken as true.
Some people take the pictures seriously and say that the Four Heavenly Kings are either subhumans or demons…… It is important to remember that the pictures in the paintings were created by the painters’ imagination based on what they were told.
In other words, there is nothing to deny……
Let’s continue.
A beastman who rules over demon beasts. A person in between man and beast. The mad beast warrior Ogre.
Well, it’s about time someone got sleepy, so let’s ask a question here….. ohne
“Eh, A, yes”
“What do you think the Ogre symbolizes?”
“Uh, it’s a tiger.”
That’s right.
The Ogre is depicted as a pictorial representation of a tiger, walking on two legs and holding a weapon.
As for the Ogre, I haven’t seen any other figure drawings, at least not that I’m aware of, but what about you guys?
Hmmm …… I guess not.
The Ogre is a tiger, but paintings usually depict other beasts as well. It could be a demon wolf, a giant ape, or a monstrous bird.
It is important to pay attention to this background.
If the information is conveyed differently, it means that the information is uncertain.
What kind of being is a magical beast? Or do any of them exist?
So, what do we know about the dark swordsman Shuten? Tiwo.”
“Yes…. Horse”
“That’s right. Let’s keep listening. Sulie, what about Yakou, the Shadow Man?”
“Ah, yes. I think it’s a cow.”
“That’s correct. It’s so famous that everyone knows it. Now, let me ask you a difficult question. Do you know why the “Four Heavenly Kings” are so famous? Millenia.
“Yes. This is because they have often appeared in the history of the world and have performed wicked deeds, and at the same time, their existence has been handed down for hundreds of years.”
You’re good, Millenia. You were born into a duke’s family. It’s a perfect answer.
Yes, because of the peculiarities of the Four Heavenly Kings, which have been passed down for hundreds of years and still occasionally peek out from time to time.
As if they were immortal, his people have appeared frequently in history for hundreds of years.
And this is the reason why I believe that the Demon Lord is also immortal.
Now, let me tell you a little about the famous incident of the Four Heavenly Kings.
ASR 188. It was the first year in history that the existence of the Ogre was confirmed.
As we learned in 188 “The Ogre Destroyed Nosize”, a satellite town in the Scythe Tide territory.
