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

81 – The Wizard of Gale and Fury (10)

“Hey, there, there! What do you mean by that?!”

As I was pulling the rope, Kendi stood stiffly and asked.

“Standing, are you really going to sell me?! To a human who likes things like horses?!”

“What?”

“Mama, the Demon King, abandoned me, abandoned me, abandoned me!?”

I forgot.

Centaurs are monsters with low intelligence.

“That’s not it. But if I explain it, you won’t understand. The Demon King didn’t abandon you and I won’t sell you, so that’s all you need to know.”

“Well, is that true, Ji Ji-jin?”

“Uh. So don’t talk nonsense and follow me.”

As stupid as he is, Kendi may easily believe what others say. He obediently walked along as I led him.

I went to the restaurant where the wizards met the wise man.

The restaurant I finally found after asking the unfriendly and blunt people of the empire was shabby.

“You stay here. Don’t follow anyone. If anyone talks to you, tell them that the owner is inside.”

“Ah, ah, okay.”

I put Kendi among the horses lined up at the stake in front of the restaurant and went into the restaurant alone.

The inside of the restaurant, dark with low-quality candles, was filled with people who looked like subjects of the empire.

That means a robber, a wanderer, a swordsman, and a gangster.

As I crossed between the tables, evil and narrow gazes followed me.

As I sat down at an empty table, a clerk came up to me and crossed his arms and crossed his legs.

Last time, when I was on Patrick’s escort mission, the inn workers and those working in the imperial service were all like that.

“Something that can be eaten in moderation.”

Before I could finish speaking, the clerk turned around and walked away.

I sat down and looked around the inside of the hall in detail.

All races, costumes, and weapons were mixed together, but the wise man was nowhere to be seen.

So, the illusion that the wizard told me about earlier…

As I was looking over there, the clerk had already returned and placed the wooden bowl down on the table.

Then, instead of turning around, he sat down on the chair across from me, didn’t he?

What is this, you bastard?

I looked around, but there was no clerk.

Instead, an old man was sitting and looking at me with deep eyes.

He looks the same as the wise man the wizard said.

“What is it?”

“You… Are looking for something… “

The old man, that is, the wise man, opened his mouth.

It was quite low-pitched, so a mysterious atmosphere was felt.

However, even that question could not be considered magical.

Because everyone is looking for something.

Moreover, if you answer that you are not looking for anything, you will definitely say nonsense such as that you do not yet know exactly what you are looking for.

But let’s just stay still. What I’m looking for right now is that person in front of me, right? It’s a funny situation.

After remaining silent, the wise man asked again.

“You’re looking for something…”

“Oh, yes. Well… That’s right.”

When he answered appropriately, a little light appeared around the wise man’s wrinkled eyes.

It was as if he was saying, ‘I’m caught.’

The wise man closed his eyes and muttered his lips alone.

“What you are looking for is… Yes, yes…”

I suppressed laughter at the serious appearance and stayed silent, determined to listen to the end.

From the very beginning, when I asked him if he was looking for something, I had already defined that wise man as a cult.

He must have approached me because he saw my Qiratus armor and Nightrend’s ornate sword hilt and thought he could extort money from me.

The same goes for those wizards earlier.

“It seems like they have been blown away by each other’s fate and the wind of the world, but even though they are so far apart, deep in their hearts, they always call each other’s name and miss each other. Like two stars in a landscape, they cannot come closer, but they shine under the same sky.”

You speak well.

When I didn’t answer, the wise man opened his eyes and looked at me.

At that moment, the final bastion suddenly vibrated strongly and repelled the external attack.

Mental-related abilities?

It’s much weaker than what Ornette uses, but it’s enough to look into the psychology of ordinary people.

Did you find out what the other person was craving in this way and become possessed by it, like it was in the devil’s castle?

When the mental attack was blocked, the wise man visibly flinched and pulled himself against the back of the chair.

“You, you…”

“What? Was it a scammer?”

He grabbed the wise man’s wrist like lightning as he tried to get up and run away.

But surprisingly, the wise man wrenched my hand away with tremendous force.

A groan escaped me without my knowledge due to the unexpected grip strength.

How is this crazy old man so strong?!

He kicked off the chair, jumped over the table, and rushed towards the wise man.

The wise man grabbed me by the collar as it attacked him from above and threw me to the floor.

When he got back up, his body curled up like a shrimp, the wise man was nowhere to be seen.

“It jumped over there.”

One of the people watching the commotion with interest pointed to the restaurant entrance.

I saw the wise man hurriedly opening the door and running out.

I shouted while casting blink in that direction.

“Kendi! Stop that old man!”

What I saw as soon as I blinked outside the door was Kendi kicking with his hind legs and Sage flying away after being hit.

He jumped over the wise man’s body, which fell loudly on the floor, and struck him in the face with his fists several times.

“Stop hitting me! It hurts, damn it!”

The angry voice of a young woman.

The wise man beneath me had suddenly turned into a demonic woman with fierce eyes.

I saw this face a lot somewhere, but who was it? ? Huh?!

“What? Aren’t you the Demon Lord of Sentai?”

“Get out of the way! Get out of the way!”

The former Demon King grabbed me and threw me aside with a force that no human could even imagine.

After flying for a while and hitting the inn’s outer wall hard, I quickly got up and rushed back to the Sentai Demon King.

However, the former Demon King was already running away.

Just as I was about to cast Blink, there were suddenly several blinding flashes, followed by a loud noise and vibration.

“You cheater!”

When I lowered the arm that was covering my face, I saw someone grabbing the Demon King’s collar, which was lying limp on the floor, and shaking it violently.

Surprisingly, it was Ornette.

“Ornette?”

“What’s going on in the Demon King’s Castle? Huh?! Who are you kidding?!”

Ornette screamed at the Sentai Demon Lord, who was already unconscious and had fainted.

“Hey, Ornette!”

As I ran over and grabbed his shoulder, Ornette looked at me and was shocked.

“What are you? What on earth do you keep meeting me here? Huh?”

When I saw the portal begin to open behind Ornette, I immediately cast Blink.

Just before Ornette jumped into her portal, he blocked her with her back and pulled out her her age trend her, splitting her portal in half.

“Are you going to keep doing this? “What are you doing here without a request?”

“Well, that is…” ” .”

Ornette’s deep sea-green eyes moved around the Sentai Demon Lord anxiously.

I sighed as I looked at Ornette squirming, not knowing what to do.

“For now, let’s finish the request and talk about it. Open a portal to the Demon King’s Castle.”

“Demon King… ? Why… ?”

“I received a request to capture this squadron’s demon lord. Don’t talk nonsense and open the door. And you too, follow me.”

“Me too… ? But I…”

My conscience must be pricked because I poured so much attack magic on the Demon King’s Castle.

“It’s okay. The Demon King is my friend, so I’ll talk to him. Hurry up and open the portal. I don’t have time. I’m busy.”

Ornette, who was a bit hesitant, eventually created a portal.

I let Kendi, who was carrying the Sentai Demon Lord, in first, and I personally held Ornette’s wrist tightly and crossed the portal.

There were so many things I wanted to ask why on earth a child who should be in Schule was in the northern part of the empire.

The exit of the dimension gate led directly to the entrance of the Demon King’s drawbridge.

“Kum chuk kum chuk! Who are you!”

“It’s me, it’s me, it’s me! Open the door!”

As the orc guards on the castle wall aimed their crossbows, Kendi raised both hands and stammered to reveal his identity.

Soon the drawbridge slowly came down and we all entered the Demon King’s Castle side by side.

Ornette hesitated as if she didn’t want to go in, but I had already grabbed her wrist, so she was helplessly dragged away.

“Leonard. What happened?”

The Demon King, who was squatting and doing something in the courtyard in front of the main castle, spotted us and stood up.

“Here.”

When I pointed to the Sentai Demon King hanging on Kendi’s back, the Demon King looked at it and smiled.

“I thought it was just in case, but it turned out to be me.”

“What should I do?”

“I need to wake him up. But who’s next to him? Is that the wizard named Ornette?”

When the Demon King took interest in her, Ornette hid behind me.

The Demon King seemed to have guessed why Ornette was doing this and said with a friendly smile.

“Everyone, come on in. I woke up my troublesome predecessor and the guests are here, so I’ll just treat them to tea and some snacks.”

“Snacks are good. I’m already a bit hungry. Do you have any bread or anything like that?”

“Well, I’ll ask the harpy. Or would you rather eat?”

“Yeah. It was late anyway.”

Ornette followed me as I entered the main castle while talking with the Demon King.

* * * * *

We went up to the Demon King’s room and laid the unconscious Demon King on the bed.

“Can I not tie it up?”

“It’s okay. I can subdue it well.”

The Demon King took off the boots of the former Demon King and placed them neatly next to the bed, then pointed to the table.

“Sit down there, you two. The harpy will bring the food soon.”

However, Ornette was not willing to sit down and looked anxiously at the balcony that had been smashed and had a hole in it.

“Don’t worry, Miss Ornette. Just fix it.”

“I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay. The monsters here need something to do to keep their energy going anyway. It’s really okay.”

The Demon King gently wrapped Ornette’s shoulders and led her to the table.

The devil sat Ornette down next to me and poured some wine into our glasses.

“Hey, Ornette.”

“Why…”

Ornette lowered her head and answered briefly in a somewhat cracked voice.

“What are you doing here? Are you just running around doing all the requests for today?”

“I ran away from home…”

“What?”

I burst out laughing at the unexpected and absurd answer.

“Running away from home? What do you mean? No, let alone running away from home. “What kind of kid would run away from home and come all the way to the northern part of the empire?”

Then Ornette glanced at the devil sitting across from her.

“Are you really here to catch the devil?”

Ornette did not respond to my words and lowered her head further.

Is it really true? Why do you regret doing something like that?

The Demon King laughed out loud as if that kind of thing was funny, and I felt like his face was getting hot from embarrassment.

If a guild member I’m with says in front of his friends that he came to pick off my friend’s hair, but he’s fine, he’s a psychopath.

“People who want to show off their abilities or make great achievements, without exception, aim for my head. In reality, I am a nobody who just cleans up monster poop.”

“It’s not like that.”

At that time, I heard someone else’s voice behind me.

When I turned my head, I saw the Sentai Demon Lord lying on the bed, speaking with his eyes closed.

“She didn’t come here to pluck the devil’s head.”

“Oh, are you awake? It’s been a while.”

When the Demon King greeted him, the former Demon King raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

“What do you mean? You’re saying you didn’t come to pick off the devil’s head? There’s another reason?”

When I asked, the Sentai Demon Lord opened his eyes and looked towards Ornet.

“Shall I speak or will you speak?”
