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 147

147 – Blacksmith at the Edge (2)

The blacksmith at the end.

It is a blacksmith shop so named because it is literally located at the edge of the continent.

The general public does not know the existence of the blacksmith.

Because it wasn’t a place to do business with the general public in the first place.

That is the place where God’s weapons are made.

One day, according to the prophecy, the world will be destroyed.

No one knows exactly what the weapon is.

I don’t know either.

I’ve been there before, but no matter how much I walked around, I didn’t see anything like that.

It probably exists only in settings and is not actually implemented in the game.

So, will it be a little different this time?

I don’t know. You have to go to find out.

“Ha, is that really the only place?”

Lucene sighed again.

The reason for doing that is simple.

It’s incredibly difficult to get there.

“There is no other way. Otherwise, throw away Thundermite. The core will already be broken and all the magic will be gone.”

“I can’t do anything else than this. When are you going to make something new again? I’ve had a really hard time.”

“It’s easier to go there than to create a new Thundermite.”

“Okay…”

Lucene answered weakly.

“You’re coming with me this time.” It’s okay. You can go.”

“Okay, okay…”

Lucene sighed and nuzzled Celestine’s butt.

“What are you doing?!”

“I feel frustrated…”

“Profit, real!!”

Looking at Celestine and Lucene, Leana smiled and Smart started talking about something else.

Ornet is just looking at me, waiting for an opportunity to put food in his mouth.

Well, I guess I should say I’m happy.

Still, I’m happy.

* * * * *

I prepared to go to the blacksmith shop at the end.

I packed all kinds of survival necessities, including winter clothing, emergency food, rope, tools, and camping supplies.

After doing that, Lucene and my backpack was almost as big as a person.

“Let’s take the titan’s walk too, Leon. This needs some repairs as well.”

“Yeah, that’s good.”

Lucene put her own heavy armor into her backpack.Lucene carrying that on her back is amazing, but the backpack that she holds up without tearing is even more amazing.

“Then I’ll come back.”

“Please be careful!”

Leana and Celestine saw us off.

Ornette was standing next to the portal and looking at me blankly.

“I’ll be back, Ornette.”

“Take care, Leonard. If anything happens, rip the return scroll and you will be able to return here immediately.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

As I stroked his head, Ornette closed his eyes as if he felt my touch.

“Let’s go, Lucene!”

As soon as I excitedly crossed the portal, what greeted me was a blizzard that threatened to tear off my skin.

* * * * *

Emeric, commander of the Imperial Knights, received a call from the Imperial Palace and left the Knights’ headquarters.

It is clear that she is the 4th princess.

Last time, he told me to meet Leonard, apologize, improve our relationship, and come back, so I guess he wants to receive a report on the results.

I don’t know why he’s acting like this when he’s not even the emperor yet.

I am the commander of the knights under the emperor’s direct command, not the 4th princess’s subordinate.

However, Emeric knocked on the 4th princess’s office door without saying a word.

The current 4th princess is her likely successor.

It is obvious that the foolish 1st and 2nd princes will soon be assassinated or go missing anyway, and an invisible war between the 3rd prince and the 4th princess is taking place throughout the castle.

Therefore, you should never show any sign of discomfort in front of someone.

“Oh, Emeric.”

The 4th princess, who was sitting at her desk reading a book, smiled and closed her book.

“You came right away?”

“How could I delay the princess’s call?”

“Great attitude. So, how’s it going? Have you met?”

“Yes.”

Emeric lied.

“What do you say?”

“I understand. He said he fully understood our situation and said that if we did not step forward, he would stay silent.”

“Really? Hmm.”

The 4th princess looked at Emeric closely with her distinctive red eyes.

“That demon hunter named Leonard is really generous, isn’t he?”

“That’s right. It’s always been like that since the days of the punitive forces.”

“Okay. But Sir Emeric, did you hear that? It’s about the Feran Resistance.”

“Yes. I heard that this time they completely lost their power and surrendered to Count Lutger.”

“What was the problem?”

The 4th princess asked with a smile.

“Didn’t you say that that statue would definitely succeed? That name…”

“I am the necromancer Ymer.”

“Yes. I was so proud that he would succeed, but where is he now?”

“I haven’t found out anything either.”

You’re not my direct subordinate, so why on earth are you asking me that?

Are you really planning to blame that mistake on me just because I was from the same punitive force?

If that happens, you will have to be prepared to endanger your own lifeline.

“I heard that destroying that statue was also an achievement of the Demon Hunter Guild.”

“Is that so?”

“Maybe you should go one more time?”

Emeric asked back, bowing his head.

“Do you mean me?”

“Yes, Emeric. That guy named Leonard is not a fool, and he must know that our empire is looking after the Feran resistance. Since something like that happened this time, you might think strange things again, right? You said you were sorry last time, but then you did it again like this. “I’m talking about stabbing you in the back.”

The 4th princess is eliminating the 3rd prince’s supporters one by one to keep him in check.

So they keep trying to get Emeric involved with Leonard.

Even for the 4th princess, it would be a burden to personally remove the knight commander of the empire.

Moreover, Emeric is acknowledged by everyone to be the best knight in the empire.

There is no way for him to be a shy assassin.

If Leonard kills Emeric, he will eliminate one of the 3rd Prince’s biggest supporters without blood on his hands.

Now, this is clearly part of that activity.

Emeric was timid and a coward, but he was not a fool.

“Then let me talk again.” Don’t worry too much, Your Excellency.”

The 4th princess’s eyes were curved like a crescent moon.

“Yes, good. As expected, Emeric. You are a treasure of our empire.”

“That’s too much praise. But…”

Emeric trailed off her words and looked directly at the 4th princess.

“Recently, the princess’s personal lieutenant has not been seen. Is he on leave due to health issues?”

“What about leave of absence? It’s just less outdoor activities?”

“If that’s the case, then I’m glad. Then I’ll just leave.”

“Goodbye, Emeric. Always watch your neck.”

The princess said goodbye with an ambiguous pronunciation, whether it was her body or her throat her.

After leaving the princess’s office, Emeric stood for a moment and looked down at her feet.

Commander of the Imperial Knights.

A position that only the best swordsman among tens of millions of imperial subjects can occupy.

The strongest knight who can demonstrate the combat power of an entire legion by moving alone.

You can enjoy wealth and fame just by sitting in the chair of the knight commander and holding the weight.

However, Emeric’s mental strength is too weak to handle his great power.

A timid, timid man who worries about things that may never happen.

So, he is always swayed by those around him, falls for the 3rd prince’s tricks, and gets caught up in the 4th princess’s pranks.

If he had been of ordinary talent, he wouldn’t have been so screwed up.

He must have been eating a decent amount of food, or he must have been farming somewhere in the countryside.

But Emeric was too strong to live quietly.

An unfortunate knight who is not mentally strong enough to handle that power at will.

He shouldn’t have betrayed Leonard in the first place.

It should have ended in a position where Leonard took the credit for killing the Great Evil and he just supported Leonard from behind.

My petty greed, sense of entitlement and jealousy toward Leonard were all intertwined, and I ended up in this situation.

But now I can’t kneel to Leonard.

Emeric is afraid of Leonard.

Leonard will try to kill him, and Emeric is not confident that he can beat Leonard.

Given Leonard’s personality, there was a possibility that he would forgive him if he made a sincere apology, but to the cowardly Emeric, it only felt like a risky gamble that could not be realized.

Emeric slowly turned and walked down the hallway.

Go see Leonard.

This time I absolutely have to go.

You can’t run away like last time.

This is because there is a spy for the 4th princess in the city where Leonard’s guild is located.

That crazy guy must be watching to see if Emeric meets Leonard.

“Damn it…”

Emeric muttered a curse softly.

* * * * *

“Wow, shit!!”

Lucene shouted, having been hit head-on by her blizzard.

“It’s so cold!!”

“Don’t scream. Cold air gets into your lungs.”

He said, pulling his mask up to his nose

“Wow, it’s cold! Let’s go back! Just throw away Thundermite!”

“Don’t be crazy.”

“You’ve been here before, right? I have to walk for two days in this blizzard! I can’t do it!”

“I can do it. Follow me. I won’t go as ignorant as you.”

Lucene came here alone after I left, so she must have gone straight through this snowstorm.

In the first place, you can’t reach the blacksmith shop at the end that way.

According to the system, if you go like that, your health bar will run out and you will die.

I don’t know how Lucene survived and made it to her blacksmith shop.

It’s an incredible feat that could become a myth, but I don’t really want to do it.

I will take a different route to avoid the snowstorm.

Instead, another threat awaits there.

Of course, it is much better than freezing to death in the middle of a snowy mountain in the middle of nowhere.

“Now, here.”

I grabbed Lucene’s wrist and moved along the route I used.
