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 144

144 – Unknown Object (6)

Isn’t this so refreshing?

The Grand Duke saw my expression and laughed.

“Mr. Leonard is a treasure of our duchy. A person like him is trying to help the County of Lut Ger, which our duchy must protect, but he must step aside.”

“Thank you. Please send all those wizards to the count’s castle.”

“I will. Anything else you need?”

“I’ll tell you more later if there is any.”

“Okay. Then, let’s go. Once the work is finished, I will invite the guild members to the Great Siege.”

“Thank you.”

I greeted the Archduke and returned to the Count’s castle through the road portal.

The place we have to go this time is much further away from the principality.

After hearing what I said, Lucene tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.

“Do you want to go there?”

“Okay. You too, let’s go together. Just in case.”

From noble mtl dot com

He spoke to Ornette, who opened the portal.

“Fifteen wizards from the Great Siege will come here. You can explain the situation.”

“Are you saying there are fifteen people coming?!”

Knight Croden, who was listening next to him, opened his mouth wide.

“I spoke to His Excellency, and he said he would gather all the wizards in the duchy.”

“How could that happen…”

There isn’t much time.

Lucene and I immediately crossed the portal.

* * * * *

The place we landed was Kuhejadin, an underground city of dwarves that can only be reached after going a long way east of the empire.

I stopped by here a long time ago regarding a request.

“Wow, this is so amazing.”

Lucene was impressed by the entrance to the underground city carved entirely out of the side of the mountain.

Among the tall dwarf statues carved into the cliffs on the left and right, the entrance to the underground city was neatly opened in a long, vertical rectangle.

On the stairs in front, several dwarves were smoking pipes and chatting when they found us.

“What are you guys doing?”

“Hello. Is Uncle Cajun still alive here?”

“Cajun? Did you say Cajun?”

“Yes. Unless he’s dead.”

“I’m not dead yet. “What are you?”

“This is the guy who hunted the demon that was causing trouble here a few years ago.”

At my words, the dwarves straightened their posture and narrowed their eyes.

And then he screamed.

“Leonard?!”

“I haven’t even grown a beard, so it’s taking a very long time for me to recognize you.”

“All humans look like that guy. Hey, this is nice!”

Dwarves came rushing over and shook hands with rough hands.

“How are you alive and not dead? Huh?”

“Demon hunters are naturally tough on life.”

“But what is this next to you? “An ogre?”

The dwarves seemed a little nervous as they looked up at Lucene, who was two meters tall.

“Haha. Wrong deal.”

Lucene giggled.

“This is my guild member. I’m in a guild over there in the Principality of Nantes. Of course, you don’t know where it is.”

“I don’t know. The only human country we know of is the Empire. Those bastards who will chew it up and spit it out again.”

The dwarves muttered curses and spat.

“Sometime ago, imperial soldiers came to our city. Instead of guaranteeing our right to survive, they asked us to hand over mining rights.”

“So?”

“What happens?”

The dwarf pointed to the city entrance.

The helmets of the imperial army were lined up there.

“Where are these fearless people pointing swords at dwarves in an underground city?”

“The empire has become an empire. By the way, is Uncle Cajun really dead?”

“I’m not dead. I’m still fine. I have a long way to go before I die.”

“Then let me take a look at you.”

“Okay. Come in. Come there too.”

We followed the dwarves into the underground city.

As soon as she entered the entrance, Lucene held her nose.

“It smells bad.”

“Because dwarves don’t wash.”

I went down in the dwarves’ mechanical elevator.

“How far do I go down?”

“All the way to the end. A new tunnel is being drilled right now and it’s there.”

“A new mine? Are they drilling it again and again like this?”

“You bastard. The dwarves’ desire to mine was originally without reason.”

After going down for a while, we were able to get down to the last stop.

Unlike the upper part, which was full of lamps and bright, it was quite dark here and it was difficult to see clearly.

However, the dwarves, who were bright at night, walked steadily forward as if there was no problem.

“Hold my hand.”

Lucene, who also has good eyes, stood in front and held out her hand to me.

When I held his hand her her, Lucene suddenly pulled me in and kissed me.

“What are you doing?”

“It’s delicious.”

As I was walking along behind the dwarves, a suspicious noise grew louder in front.

It’s probably the noise the dwarves make while digging out the wall.

As expected, in front of the scene where the lamps were moving back and forth, dwarves were pounding on the blocked wall with various tools.

“Nimiral! Why the granite sticks out, damn it!”

The dwarf standing in front swore and threw away the hammer he was holding.

“Hey, Cajun! Leonard came to see you.”

“What? Leonard? Demon hunter?”

Dwarf Cajun, who threw away the hammer, walked towards me in surprise.

Cajun raised the lamp as high as he could and laughed, haha, when he saw my face.

“Aren’t you dead or alive?”

“I’m going to die.”

“What a guy. And he even tamed an ogre and took it with him.”

Cajun said that when he saw Lucene standing next to him.

“It’s not an ogre, it’s a human. But that’s not the problem, please lend me some Thormanite.”

“What?”

“Please lend me Thormanite.”

“Where should I use that?”

I explained to Kejun what was currently happening in Rutger.

Then Ke Jun stroked his beard and asked.

“Is there something crazy like that in this world?”

“That’s why I came. Please give it to me quickly.”

“This bastard left it to me! Don’t you know it’s the only one in our city?!”

“That’s why I came. You can’t get it anywhere else.”

“No, this crazy guy?!”

“I’m not asking for it for free. Is that granite the problem now?”

He pointed to a solid granite wall with many scratches.

“I’ll drill it for you, so lend it to me. It’ll just take a day.”

“You’re going to break through something that even dwarves can’t break through?”

“Lucene. Go and pierce it.”

Lucene moved forward, swinging Thundermite.

The dwarves were all drawn to the left and right by the vicious sound made by the Thundermite as it spun.

“Come on, let’s go!”

Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwang!!

“Stop going in!”

I shouted to Lucene, who broke through the granite and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

After a while, Luce walked out from behind her, covered in a lot of white dust.

“Is there a devil in there?”

“Suddenly?”

“He said something in demonic language and knelt down and begged.”

At that time, a devil’s cry was heard from inside.

“Zorath nal vireth! Nu’ra zentho zara! Zel’thun nala kire! Zor’na vi’thal nura zel’ra! (Please save me! I didn’t do anything! Just let me stay here! I won’t bother you! )”

“What do you say?”

“I will come out soon to kill you all, so wait.”

At my words, Lucene went into the tunnel that had just been dug.

The sound of Thundermite hitting the floor was heard a few times, and Lucene walked out covered in black blood.

“Mister Dwarf. I broke through the wall and killed the demon, so quickly give me that knight that Leon mentioned.”

When Lucene, who had a very hideous appearance, held out her hand, Cajun, a strong dwarf, was frightened and took a small step back.

“Yeah, that’s right. Leonard, what are you talking about? Take it, use it, and then bring it back.”

“Thank you. I will return it to you tomorrow.”

In this way, we were able to obtain thormanite, a very rare gem found only in Cuhejadine.

* * * * *

Everything is ready.

When I returned to the Count’s castle, I met the Count in person and explained the plan to destroy the object.

Count Rutger quietly listened to my story and ordered Croden, who was by his side, to provide all necessary support.

I unfolded the map and asked.

“Where is the object now?”

“Here it is.”

“What about the deployment of troops on both sides?”

“The resistance army is gathering here, and our knights and soldiers are spreading out and taking cover to avoid the object’s attack.”

“Where is the best place to observe objects in this area?”

“This place. At the top of this hill is the old guard post that monitored the Peran Autonomous Region.”

“Okay. I’ll move the wizards there.”

Seventeen wizards, including Ornette and Isiste, myself, Lucene, and Croden moved to the back of the hill.

When I climbed up the rear slope and entered the guard post, I saw an object floating in the distance.

Just below it, the Feran resistance army was encamped, and our troops were hidden and not observed.

“Then let’s begin.”

Ornette and Lucene climbed to the top of the guard post and hid under the railing.

Isiste is by the first floor window, which is an easy point to observe the front.

All fifteen wizards who came to support from the remaining principalities were arranged in a left and right fan shape on the rear slope of the hill behind the guard post.

And a Thormanite was installed at the central point connecting the formation of fifteen wizards and the guard post.

Tourmanite is a large gem the size of a watermelon that shines in brilliant rainbow colors.

Unlike ordinary gems, it has the amazing property of being able to endlessly condense and release magical energy.

To put it simply, it can be said to be like a convex lens that attracts sunlight and condenses it into small pieces.

I carefully adjusted the angle of the Thormanite on the tripod and sent a signal to the wizards.

The fifteen wizards of the principality began to gather magical power.

When one wizard makes a decision, even ordinary people can feel the flow of magical power, but with as many as 15 wizards gathering magical energy, it felt like my head was standing on end.

The wizards gathered magical power and at the same time infused it with Thormanite.

The Thormanite, where fifteen blue rays were concentrated, became white-hot and fired the concentrated magic power onto the guard post.

Ornette, who received the concentrated magical power of fifteen people, gathers her own magical power and destroys the object with a single strike.

That’s my plan.

Lucene defends Ornette in case the object counterattacks.

And Isiste on the first floor.

“Start.”

“If this is really the case, give me three months of salary.”

“Okay.”

The tattoos on Isiste’s body shone and fluttered.

At the same time, Rutger’s soldiers began to advance with shouts coming from all over the place.

It’s not actual troops, but Isiste’s illusion magic.

This is a distraction operation to prevent objects from turning their attention to this guard post.

As Isiste’s phantom army moved, the object fired a purple ray.

The beam struck the ground and exploded.

I welcomed Isiste’s magic to work and jumped up to the roof of the guard post.

Ornette’s hair, which had received the concentrated magic power of Tormanite, was burning upside down.

“Ornette. I only trust you. I’m trying to hit one at a time. If I miss, I’ll be hit back.”

“Don’t worry. You can do it.”
