The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With - The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With chapter 111

111 – Daesinjeon Fraud (5)

Halo is a rare phenomenon that is not commonly seen.

It appears only to those who are highly skilled in divine power, and there are many cases where the Halo does not appear even for priests who use divine power.

Celestine is usually a fool, but if you know it, she possesses great divine power.

It is difficult to find someone with that level of divine power in the general mercenary market because they are forced into the church.

It is difficult to explain why there are not just one but several people with such a halo, unless it means they belong to a religious order.

Why did they come here?

Hmm, maybe because of Celestine?

Celestine was a death row inmate of a so-called ascetic sect, and now it is officially said that she met the devil in a remote place and committed suicide.

As the guild has recently gained enormous popularity, the story about Celestine may have reached the ears of sects and denominations in some way.

In any case, it is not a normal phenomenon for several Halo priests to appear in large numbers in this border city.

That looks a bit suspicious.

Lucene turned around and ran in the direction where Celestine disappeared.

But even after running around for a while, she couldn’t find Celestine.

* * * * *

“Hey, Leonard!”

When the sun sets.

Lucene opened the door as if to break it down and came in and shouted.

“Celestine hasn’t arrived yet?!”

“Celestine? You didn’t come? Why?”

“It’s a big deal.”

I was sitting on the sofa and immediately got up and walked over to Lucene.

The fact that the word’big deal’came out of Lucene’s mouth her means that it is a really big deal.

“What’s going on?”

“I saw priests in town today. They had halos on their heads.”

“Halo? How many people are there?”

“Five people.”

“There were five Halo Priests? Are you sure?”

“Don’t you trust me?”

“No, I believe it.”

I’m the one who took your stats myself, so of course I believe it.

But no matter how much I think about it, it really doesn’t make sense for five Halo priests to appear in one place.

No, there is one possibility.

“So you were checking to see if Celestine came back?”

“Huh. Does he have a lot of requests today?”

“It’s a lot. Coming late is normal, but Seup, I’m a little uneasy about this.”

The church may have come to capture Celestine.

If five Halo priests enter Shlessi at the same time, it’s only a matter of time before they come to our guild.

You probably came here because you already have some information, and if you ask around a little, you will know right away that there is a guild member who uses divine power.

“Let’s go out. If we ask Ornette, we’ll find it soon. Let’s find it and kill those bastards.”

While nodding to Lucene’s suggestion, he said one thing.

“Hold off on killing for now.”

Even regular priests would be a bit uncomfortable to touch, but if they were Halo priests, their prestige in the church would be great.

Moreover, that idiot Celestine also had Halo, so she was sitting in the position of a responsible saint.

If five Halo priests were killed, it would be difficult to handle the aftermath.

Since Celestine’s whereabouts she is not clear right now, we will check it accurately first and then decide whether to kill her or not.

However, if they are going to mobilize five Halo priests, it seems like they will come directly from the Great Temple.

A great temple comes forward because of a saint?

It’s Daesinjeon… Hmm…

“I’ll call Ornette.”

Leah Nagai was listening next to her. The moment she went up to the floor, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

“Are you Celestine?”

When I opened the door, there were several people standing there.

Five people in total, men and women. He smiled very kindly.

Clothing is everyday wear, not priest uniform.

When I looked above my head, I saw a very faint border.

Assuming there is a halo there, the light has been erased to the point where you will never notice it unless you look carefully.

Those are the guys.

“Hello. Are you here because of a request?”

He pretended not to know anything and said hello.

“Request. Yes, that’s right.”

“Please come in.”

As I stepped aside, five people came in and looked inside.

“Oh.”

People were amazed when they saw the three devil’s head trophies hanging above the fireplace.

“A humanoid demon, a medium-sized demon, and a succubus.”

“The horse and mountain griffin hanging outside are very impressive, too.”

Who wouldn’t say he’s a priest, but he’s really good at dealing with demons and monsters.

“Please sit down.”

Five priests were guided to the counseling room.

Lucene sat at the reception desk where Leana always sat.

It is located right next to the front door, making it very easy to control entry and exit.

After confirming that Lucene was seated, I made the priests sit towards the door and I went to the seat right in front of the window.

If you run away through the door, Lucene will run away through the window and I will stop you.

“Thank you for visiting our guild. My name is Leonard, the guild secretary. I am a demon hunter.”

“I’ve heard rumors. You’ve solved all kinds of strange requests.”

A male priest who looked somewhat older opened his mouth. That person seems to be the leader of the group.

“I’m just doing it to the best of my ability. From what you’re saying, I guess you’re going to entrust me with a request that’s outside the normal scope?”

“Haha, well. Whether that’s the case or not will depend on the individual’s standards.”

The chief priest smiled lowly and continued speaking.

“Recently, I heard that you made a significant contribution to the Death Knight outbreak in the Plains of Tancred.”

“Ah, yes. Rather than doing anything, I was just carrying out a request.”

“He found out the identity of the Death Knight and even persuaded him.”

“That happened.”

“I would like to have a discussion about that.”

“What kind of discussion are you talking about? This is a guild, not an agora. And the Death Knights are a problem that has already been resolved.”

“It’s not about the Death Knight. It’s about the gray giant that appeared on the plains.”

He avoided a direct answer and quickly moved his head.

How do those bastards know that?

Except for Lucene, everyone at the scene fainted before the phase portal was torn apart.

That is certain after asking the defense team leader and members of the defense team.

Only after everything was over did Captain Vivian return to the fortress and hand me the book.

The situation is the same for the Zerebe Watchtower on the Empire side.

Even its upper body was tilted towards the watchtower, so it must have been more than a fortress, not less.

The imperial soldiers there must have all lost their minds and become fools by now.

So, except for Lucene, who has a last bastion like me, no one has clearly seen its true nature.

How do they know about that?

No, wait.

It’s not entirely unlikely.

Perhaps one of the lost people at the Zerebe watchtower may have been talking about the gray giant out of ignorance.

Anyone who knows about Nightrend’s history would have noticed it right away just by hearing the description and explanation.

And there are not many people in the Empire who know Nightrend’s history and have the power to move five Halo Priests.

Calliope. Is it your turn this time?

“Well, it looks like you know everything. Let’s talk openly with each other.”

At my words, the chief priest took out a large medal from his arms and showed it to me.

“We came out of the main temple.”

Looking at the complex patterns, I was able to recognize that, as expected, they were priests from the Daesinjeon and the Inspection Department.

There are five guys from the inspection department who are said to make birds fall from the sky.

First of all, I clearly knew what kind of guys these guys were and what side they were on.

“Ah, yes. You are precious people. You should have told me earlier. Why are you hiding your identity like a door-to-door sales scammer?”

The expressions of the other priests were distorted, but the chief priest answered with a smile.

“Most people weren’t very happy with us, so we had no choice.”

“Even from a demon hunter’s point of view, a priest from the Inspection Department is something you never want to encounter in your life. I think we’ve both gotten along well, but let’s not keep going in circles and get to the point. “

“Haha, that’s refreshing. I think you should go to the main temple with us. Bring that sword called Nightrend with you.”

Then, the head priest took out a document and handed it to me.

It had the seal of the high priest, so to put it simply, it was like an arrest and seizure warrant.

It seems that Calliope moved the High Priestess by combining the three keywords Gray Giant, Nightrend, and Demon Hunter well.

So, you are not saying that you are going to accuse me of heresy and have me executed.

It’s dangerous if they move on their own, so they’re going to put Daejinjeon on their backs.

Look at these.

There is no big problem other than going to the Great Hall, but the problem is Celestine.

Let’s first check if Celestine is simply late for work or if she was kidnapped by these people.

“I don’t like it. Why am I going?”

She smiled and pushed the document back.

“No matter how much you are a priest of the Inspection Department, can you just take a citizen of the principality without the permission of the Archduchy?”

“You probably have to go even if you don’t want to go. If you don’t want to lose your guild members…”

Before the priest could finish speaking, a blue light suddenly flashed in the middle of the guild living room, and Celestine jumped out.

“aah! Manager!!”

Celestine sat down and cried loudly, looking for me.

The color drained from the faces of the priests who saw that.

“What about guild members?”

After confirming that Celestine was safe, I slowly got up from the chair.

Luce smiled and entered her consulting room and closed the door.
