The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

25 – Owner of the Tower Dreaming Beyond (1)

I entered the guild manager’s room and sat down at the desk to light a candle.

On the desk, the magic scrolls that were stolen during the day gave off a mysterious aura as they were hit by flickering candles.

There were so many scrolls that Patrick didn’t even notice that I had stolen a few of them.

No matter how much you think about it from common sense, there is no reason for an employee of a superior company to open a branch overseas to carry so many expensive magic scrolls.

Judging from the calluses on his hands, his skill at using a great sword, and his aloofness even after seeing people die in front of his eyes, being an employee at a company is just a facade.

If my prediction is correct, there is a very high probability that the person named Patrick is a spy disguised as an employee of a ghost company called Dremont.

That’s why he didn’t formally ask for protection from the border guards and instead requested the guild.

Then where do you belong?

A spy for the Empire or a spy for the principality returning from a dispatch.

I broke the seal with my dagger and opened the scroll.

Sentences in elegant handwriting and complex diagrams were drawn in a mess on tough paper.

First of all, the magic scroll seems certain. What kind of magic

After carefully interpreting the sentences and diagrams, I smiled.

Haa, was it like this?

Patrick: Wasn’t it almost a miracle that this human crossed the border alive?

Somehow, I thought it was ridiculous that a wizard came to kill an employee of a boss.

There must have been a reason for this.

Very exciting.

I rolled up the scroll again, threw it into the safe, and lay down on the bed.

Looking at the ceiling, I thought carefully about how I could put the information I just found out to good use.

* * * * *

The next day, I rented a wagon and brought the heads of horses from City Hall.

The head was bigger than the calf’s, so Celestine had some trouble pushing the cart from behind.

The head of the soma, which had been neglected for quite a long time, was rotting little by little, so it had to be stuffed in a hurry.

After wandering around the market for a long time, I found a talented taxidermist and entrusted the heads of the horses.

“Oh, my God. I’ve heard the rumors, but I never imagined he was this big.”

The taxidermist who saw the soma head stuck out his tongue.

I left the head and gave Celestine churros as a snack.

That’s why it’s a bit difficult to just drag something standing in front of a street stall.

I don’t know if eating like that really makes my heart burst, as Leah said.

“Is it delicious?”

“It’s delicious. Would you like to try it?”

“No. Eat all of you.”

What kind of place is the abstinence sect?

“What can you do in the celibate sect?”

“Nothing. I have to eat a little, sleep a little, and I can’t laugh. It’s full of things that don’t work.”

“Is there a place like that? Why the hell did you go there, then?”

“I was dragged away.”

Not particularly surprising.

It is a known fact that those who accidentally manifest divine power are taken by force to the church and become priests.

Since the manifestation of divine power is random, it is a blessing for some and a misfortune for others.

Which is Celestine?

“What about your family?”

“No.”

“No? Are they all dead?”

“Maybe he did? Maybe he’s alive.”

That cryptic answer made it clear that Celestine was an abandoned child.

“My family was so poor that they couldn’t afford to raise me. So, as soon as I manifested my divine power, they reported me to the church and handed me over. Actually, I was too young to remember.”

“I see. Then you must have completely lost contact.”

“Yes. And I have no desire to contact you again. I have no feelings whatsoever.”

From noble mtl dot com

I always felt it while playing games, but all the priests who use holy power have such a gloomy backstory.

It must have been natural since he was forced to become a cleric by randomly manifesting divine power.

“Still, I think it’s a good thing that I joined the Order early. I trained since I was young, so I flew the Halo faster than other people.”

“Positive. But how old are you?”

“I’m 20 this year.”

What is it? You’re so cute.

You said Leanna was twenty-two, right?

Why does he look like a child when he is only two years older?

Somehow, when we first met, I thought that pretending to be solemn didn’t suit me.

Is it because he looks cute?

“What are you doing…?!”

A pinch on her cheek made Celestine widen her eyes in surprise.

“It’s cute. It’s very soft.”

“This is the first time I’ve ever been treated with such rudeness… But the name was a Halo saint…”

Even so, Celestine patted her cheek with a shy smile, knowing what made her feel good.

“You are no longer a saint. You are a member of Lucas’ guild.”

“That’s right. That’s why you eat delicious food without paying attention to anyone.”

Celestine tossed her last piece of churros into her mouth.

He eats really well. How hungry he must have been to have such a child in a place like an abstinence sect.

“By the way, how far can you use divine power?”

“Divine Shield, Blessing, Purification, and Restoration.”

That’s enough to say you know how to do everything.

However, there are no skills for direct attacks.

Of course, she will mainly be a healer, but Celestine should be able to fight to some extent now.

“Is the divine shield at a level where you can create shapes at will?”

“Eh? No…? Create a shape?”

“What did you do when the horse tripped and fell?”

“It was just forming a shield and then stopping midway. I didn’t induce that form in the first place.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

I went through my head and looked through the information posted on the official

Community of .

Healer, Healer, Healer…. Oh, yes.

There is a very famous healer among the users, and I remembered that he posted it as a tip.

How to raise a so-called ‘combat healer’.

It was a bit of an expedient that exploited the game system’s blind spot as a way for healers to hunt alone.

I still don’t know if that will work, but if it can, Celestine will definitely do its part.

“Hey, let’s do something with me starting today.”

“Yeah…? What are you going to do…?”

Celestine stuttered.

How come she seems to have a strange delusion when I try to ask her for something.

“Nothing else, let’s do some training. I’m the only swordsman in our guild right now.”

“Then I have to learn swordsmanship…?”

“hahahaha. No, I’ll learn how to use the shield like a knife instead.”

“Yes…?”

Celestine tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand it.

Every time he does that, he’s really cute.

“Anyway, there is such a thing. Let’s practice because I will teach you.”

“I don’t know what it is, but I get it. If that’s what the secretary says, that’s what it is.”

“Your attitude is very good. But what do you think when I ask you to do something for me?”

“What, what?”

“No, like when I asked for sanctification the other day, I was very flustered and just did that.”

“I didn’t think anything of it…?”

“Really? But why, when you say something, you take out the cloth pouch from your bag and look at it? And while you’re talking, what’s in it…”

“aaagh!”

Suddenly, Celestine screamed and covered her ears with her hands.

“aaagh! I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know!!”

Is this crazy all of a sudden!?

“Be quiet!”

I hurriedly shut Celestine’s mouth at the glances of the passers-by.

“Oops! Oops!”

“Okay. I won’t ask, so don’t scream.”

Celestine nodded and released her hand from her mouth.

“Your throat is once big, really. It’s not even a parrot.”

She brushed the sugar off her palms and stuck out her tongue.

* * * * *

“You ate something again!”

Upon returning to her guild, Leanna pointed her finger at her Celestine’s sugar-stained mouth.

“I ate churros. The manager bought it for me.”

“Secretary. He’s been eating too much lately. Stop giving me something to eat.”

“You said you starved at the sect.”

“But it’s not possible. If you eat like this, you’ll quickly turn into a pig. It’s a guild, not another place, and they say you can’t get a request if you get fat! Which client in the world would trust and entrust a request to someone who looks dull because he’s fat?”

It’s not that Leana was wrong.

It’s not a normal business, and it’s an industry where you often have to risk your life.

But just watching Celestine eat makes me feel better, so I keep buying her something.

“You can’t eat snacks anymore, okay?”

“Yes…”

“Then do some exercise. What’s the use of talking like this?”

As Leanna grabbed Celestine’s stomach, Celestine freaked out and pulled back behind her.

“Celestine will start special training with me starting today. So don’t worry too much.”

“Special training?”

“Yes. I will make Celestine a combat healer.”

“What is that? You mean Holy Knight?”

“It’s different from that. Anyway, that’s how I know it.”

“Hmm, I don’t know what it is, but if you say that, then it must be so. All right. Anyway, you two should have lunch, right?”

Leanna hurried to her kitchen and brought out her food.

Today’s lunch menu was a very appetizing dish of beans, carrots, potatoes, and asparagus with grilled meat.

“Come on, sit down.”

Celestine’s eyes kept following Leana, fearing that she would not give her food to him.

Fortunately, Leah Na put her plate and treat down close to Celestine.

“Eat a lot, Celestine. Homemade food doesn’t make you fat.”

“I will eat well.”

Leanna watched with satisfaction as Celestine, relieved, put a fork on and shoved food into her mouth.

After nagging you on how to gain weight until now, Leana is of the same mind as me after all.

As expected, cute is the best.
