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

22 – Very Suspicious Boss Employee (7)

Sanitary pads.

It’s a two-day trip, so it looks like Leana took care of it because it might be needed urgently along the way.

Then you can just call it a sanitary pad or just cover it up if you feel embarrassed about it. Why are you screaming like that?

But what are you doing with sanitary napkins?

Closing her bag, Celestine fell away from me, covering her chest with her arm.

And then she glanced at me with a very blatant contemptuous look.

It’s obvious what you’re thinking inside. It’s obvious.

“No, nothing like that.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“Yes, yes.”

After eating bread, this time Patrick pulled out two small bottles from his bag.

“What is this?”

“If you ate bread, you should quench your thirst. Cider.”

That person came with a chasing party on his tail, and anyone who sees it would think it was a leisurely picnic.

Looking at how relaxed he is, his face, his appearance, and his tone, he seems to be a true nobleman.

Here, Basically borrows from the Middle Ages.

Most NPCs are ignorant, filthy and rough.

If you want to meet such a dignified person, you have to at least go to a place like the imperial capital or imperial castle.

Well, there is no law against aristocrats from doing this kind of work.

Right now, even the owner of the ranch, Karla, is running her own ranch owned by the Belasco family.

That boss named Dremont may also belong to a certain family.

“Patrick, by the way, what exactly does Dremont’s company do?”

“Ah, our company. It’s a trading company. It’s a legitimate band of robbers who move goods from place to place and there and take commissions along the way.”

The expression was so funny that she smiled, but Celestine, who was drinking a lot of cider, opened her eyes wide.

“Are you a robber?!”

“Yes?”

“Didn’t you say robbery?”

Patrick, who had always been relaxed, looked at me a little embarrassed this time.

Those eyes seemed to be asking ‘what is that girl?’.

“Celestine. It’s not a robbery, it’s a horse.”

“Really? He’s not even a robber, so why call him a robber…”

“You said I was a demon when I wasn’t.”

Celestine immediately shut up.

After smiling at her, he asked her Patrick.

“Then what products do you focus on?”

“There is nothing set in stone, and I do everything that makes money, but recently I’ve been trading weapons and armor made of steel from Lucyong.”

“Steel from Roussillon? Isn’t that very expensive?”

“That’s why I said that I do everything that makes money. The quality is so good that there is a lot of demand here and there, so it makes quite a bit of money.”

Patrick released the greatsword from his waistband and held it out to me.

“This is a high-end greatsword made by alloying Gambrinite with steel from Roussillon. Let’s take a look.”

“Gambrinite? No, how could that be? Wasn’t it impossible to smelt except for dwarves?”

“You’re quite well-informed. Well, you’re a demon hunter, so it’s only natural. That’s right. I have a pact with the dwarves’ mines.”

Patrick’s greatsword was so beautiful that people admired it.

I received something similar to this when I cleared a dwarf-related quest, but there was a huge difference between seeing it on the monitor and actually seeing it in front of me.

A normal blade is smooth silver or iron’s natural color, but the surface of this greatsword mixed with Gambrinite rippled softly like high-quality wood.

It’s like looking at a Damascus steel sword.

However, this is an item that is often sold again because of its durability and pretty appearance.

“How beautiful, Mr. Patrick. So that wagon is also loaded with swords and armor?”

“hahahaha. It’s not a lot, but there are a few samples to sell to the principality. Traders don’t carry goods like peddlers. All actual goods are moved by official document. By the way…”

Patrick, who had returned the Gambrinite greatsword from me, looked at the hilt of the Nightrend hanging from the saddle.

“The sword that Mr. Leonard is holding also looks very suspicious.”

“The secretary said he got this knife through hard work. I didn’t steal it.”

Celestine intervened again.

Patrick, who had been beaten by Celestine earlier, smiled and explained.

“I didn’t mean it was questionable, I just meant it didn’t look like a normal knife, it looked great.”

As soon as I pulled out the Night Rend and showed it to Patrick, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

“That…Was a much better knife than I thought.”

The overall form of the Knight Rend is a long sword.

The overall length is 1.3 Meters and the weight is only 2kg, which is very light.

It is basically two-handed, but there is no limit to handling it with one hand if necessary.

Looking at it up to this point, it looks like a normal longsword, but if you look at the blade, you can see that the Nightrend is a sword that is far different from a normal longsword.

Nightrend’s blade is made of black iron.

Like a black hole that sucks in all light, it is extremely black and deep, making the viewer fall into unknown fear.

Starlight is flowing on the surface of the black iron.

Several lines of pale, faint blue light endlessly circle from tip to tip of the blade, as if flowing through blood vessels.

A weapon dedicated to demon hunting that was created through several enhancements after breaking as many as ten linked quests.

“Would you like to give it a try?”

As soon as it fell into Patrick’s hands, the starlight of Nightrend went out.

Night Rend is a bound item.

It works only when it is in my hand, and when it is in someone else’s hand, it becomes a lump of metal of the same shape.

“The knife seems to recognize its owner. It’s very light and cuts well… I’ve never seen a knife like this in my life.”

Patrick turned the knife around in admiration.

“Where are you from?”

“I got it by accident.”

“I see.”

Patrick gave Nightrend back without asking further questions.

As soon as I held it in my hand, starlight began to flow on the blade again.

Patrick, seeing that, admired once more.

Okay. While the atmosphere is good and the conversation is ripe, let’s ask a question from earlier.

“By the way, Mr. Patrick, seeing how you handle a greatsword, you seem quite skilled. Did you learn anything else? The calluses on your palms, too.”

“Oh, no big deal.”

Patrick smiled and stroked the palm of his hand.

“My trading company often travels here and there. Like me, I have to live in a foreign country for several years. Then, shouldn’t I have the strength to protect myself? That’s why the company gives its employees simple swordsmanship training.”

It’s not the level of simple swordsmanship training.

Beating a scarecrow and picking people by the throat are two completely different things.

No, maybe this wasn’t the first time for Patrick.

Chaotic Empire is a dark fantasy world view.

The Principality of Nantes, where I moved, is exceptionally peaceful. Things like today are not uncommon if you go outside for a bit.

If he was the head of a foreign branch, Patrick would have had a very long career, and he would have had a lot of life and death experiences like today.

“Secretary!”

Then Celestine called me urgently.

“Look over there.”

The place Celestine is pointing is ahead.

There were low hills on both sides of the road.

“Hmm. It’s a very uncomfortable terrain… Mr. Patrick.”

“Yes.”

“Could there be more chasers?”

“Well, I don’t know. If you really intend to kill me, I wonder if you’ve only sent eight people.”

That’s right.

It would be a headache if I went in there without thinking and got caught in an ambush.

I can fight alone, but the important thing now is Patrick, not me.

If a melee breaks out in that confined space, even Celestine can’t guarantee Patrick’s safety.

However, in order to avoid it, you have to go around the wilderness for a long time with no roads.

Since there is a wagon, the movement speed is slow, and it is very difficult if the wheels come off.

“Let’s do this, Mr. Patrick. I’ll drive the wagon and go in there first. Pretend to be Mr. Patrick.”

“Are you all right?”

“Patrick’s protection is our top priority. Let’s get on the switch.”

Moving to the wagon, I set Nightrand down next to the coachman’s seat and pulled over the hood of my cloak to outrun Celestine and Patrick.

“Be careful, chief!”

“Take good care of Mr. Patrick.”

Because it was pulled by four horses, the carriage moved quickly and entered between hills and hills.

I’ve looked around, but I haven’t noticed anything so far.

If you use a blind gaze, you’ll be able to notice it instantly, but giving up your sight here means you’re committing suicide.

Hmm, I don’t think there’s anything special.

I can safely pass by….

As soon as a flash of light flashed on the hill to my right, I picked up my Nightrend, kicked off the coachman’s seat, and hurled myself forward.

The wagon, which was hit directly by the blue attack magic fired from the hillside, was shattered and soared high into the sky.

Wizard?

Are you saying that even a wizard was mobilized to kill an employee of the boss?

This is a lot of fun.

The boxes in the luggage compartment that soared high into the sky were hit directly by the magic, and the items inside spilled out.

Various documents, ledgers, books, household items and simple household items, several sacks of cold weapons and various types of armor.

And what is that? Why are there so many scrolls?

Hundreds of rolled, sealed scrolls were rolling across the floor.

From the way it was sealed and what it looked like, I think it was a magic scroll.

The Magic Scroll is a convenience item that allows non-magicians to use magic.

Wizards write spells on paper, infuse magic into them, seal them, and sell them at high prices.

When the owner breaks the seal and tears the scroll when necessary, the magic within it is activated.

How much is the replacement cost for that amount of magic scrolls?

Once again, a flash of light flashed and a sharp attack magic was fired this way.

Rolling over, he snatched up several scrolls that had fallen on the floor and shoved them into his arms.
