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

2 – Takeover of the Ruined Guild (2)

“Are you the guild leader?”

“Eh…?”

The woman blinked as if she didn’t understand me for a moment.

“Isn’t this the Lucas Guild, here? There’s a sign outside.”

“That’s right… Do you want me to entrust you?”

“I came to talk about a guild takeover, not a request.”

A woman still staring blankly.

Then, suddenly, she freaked out and ran her hair through her hair.

“A guild takeover? Oh my God, wait?”

A woman who had fallen off the couch scrambled to her feet and went out the back door.

In the meantime, I went to the window to avoid the bottles rolling on the floor.

When the curtains were pulled back, a bright light came in, illuminating the cluttered interior.

Empty wine bottles are standard, rusty armor and a knife leaning on a plate with leftovers.

The picture frame hanging on the wall was so full of dust that I couldn’t tell what was inside, and the floor and furniture were covered with thick dust.

That’s amazing, really.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like it’s closed down.

The sound of washing her face was heard through the open gap in the back door where the woman entered.

In the meantime, I cleaned the dust off the table and found a chair and brought it.

Because I can’t stand and talk among these dumpsters.

After a while, a woman who was much cleaner than before came inside, wiping her face with a towel.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were coming.”

“I’m not a guest. I’m here to take over the guild.”

“Sit down for now. Can I get you something? Drinking during the day isn’t it?”

The woman smiled awkwardly as she slid the half-left bottle.

“I’m done drinking. Are you able to talk anyway?”

“Of course? I’m fine now.”

With one stagger, the woman sat down on the chair.

“I’m Leana. I’m the guild leader of Lucas’s guild. Not yet.”

“I’m Leonard. I moved from the Grand Test Empire.”

“It starts with the same le. Ho ho.”

“Where are you?”

As I habitually joked with my present life, Leana looked at me strangely.

“What?”

“No, no. Anyway, I’m trying to run a guild here in the Duchy of Nantes, but I’m not qualified to establish it.”

“You didn’t go to the academy?”

“That’s right. I didn’t have a chance to learn because I was doing other things. So…”

“So you’re saying you’re going to take over our guild and run it with me as the guild leader?”

Leah I’ve been working this way for a long time. As soon as I threw a rush, she immediately understood her intentions.

“Yes.”

“Hmm, I see…”

Leanna let out a sigh and turned her attention to the picture frame hanging on the wall.

I can’t really see it because it’s full of dust, but it looks like a portrait of someone.

“But how did you know about our guild? We haven’t posted a separate sales notice before?”

“Well, I found out about it while searching here and there.”

It seemed like it would be a problem if the city hall official informed her, so Leana nodded her head as she looked around.

“That’s probably it. There’s no one in this city who doesn’t know our guild.”

With that, Leana sighed lightly again.

I just rinsed my mouth, but the smell of alcohol wafted from my exhaled breath.

I must have drank quite a bit.

I listened to the woman’s words and went through the strategy and setting books in her head.

Lucas Guildra of Silesi, Duchy of Nantes….

Nothing specifically comes to mind.

In the first place, the Duchy of Nantes was not the main stage of the game.

Until the expansion pack, only a small part of the map was implemented.

It’s just that the information Clemence at City Hall gave me is all I know.

This guild is an adventurer’s guild founded by Leana’s father, Lucas.

Here in the Schlesi area, he had a reputation in his own right, and there were quite a few adventurers who belonged to it.

Little Leah I have been helping her father and acting as her secretary.

Then, after her father died in an accident during the commissioning, she inherited the guild.

Even though he doesn’t have an academy diploma, his experience as the guild’s manager has been recognized for over 10 years.

Ironically, after the former guild leader’s daughter became the guild leader, the guild slowly went down the path of decline.

Bondy Guild is a place where fate is determined by the guild leader’s personal connections and sales power, unless it is a fairly large corporation.

Unlike her father, who was a famous mercenary, Leanna had only dealt with administrative affairs inside the guild, so she had no information or assets in that regard.

At first, I managed to get hold of my father’s business, but where did the adventurer’s guild come in like a manufacturing factory?

Leah I was still a woman with little experience in the world because her requests were gradually cut off and she opened a new market.

When work stopped, her guild members also left one by one, and in the end, Leanna was protecting the guild by herself.

“So, how are you? Are you actually willing?”

Leanna spread her arms to show off her messy interior.

“You have to tell me if you intend to lose money.”

“Hmm, that’s right. You’ll buy it if I say I’m selling it.”

Leah I did and she looked at the picture frame on the wall again.

The person in the portrait in that frame must be Lucas, her father.

“Whoa…”

Leah stared at her picture frame for a long time. I let out a sigh full of the smell of her alcohol and ran a hand through her hair.

She seemed to have a habit of brushing her hair.

“I heard the story. This guild is your father’s legacy, right?”

“That’s right. That’s why I can’t even throw it away and I’m holding on to it.”

“Then wouldn’t it be better to sell me a guild?”

Then Leanna smiled and looked at me.

“Why is it better?”

“You seem like you already know everything, but I’ll explain why you’re asking that.”

Leanna spread her fingers so she could see them.

“First, Mr. Leana alone can never revive this guild. She must seek outside help.”

“Okay. I admit it. Again?”

“Second. I intend to keep Leana as the guild leader. Wouldn’t it be better for both of us if we did that rather than shutting down the business altogether? I like being able to run the guild, and Leana like being able to keep her father’s legacy.”

“Hmm, that’s right. Although I’ll be the leader of the pants guild.”

“Third. I am a competent and trustworthy person. She will pay Mr. Leanna exactly the cost of taking over her guild, and will strictly keep the contract to have her guild leader. She can also revive her guild.”

Leanna smiled and asked as she folded all three of her fingers.

“As for the third, I honestly don’t know yet.”

“You really don’t intend to sell it, do you?”

Leanna ran her hands through her hair and smiled weakly.

“I was like that until a while ago, but these days I’ve changed my mind. Thinking that my dad would be heartbroken to see the guild in such a mess from the sky, I thought, why don’t we just close the business?”

“If that’s the case, it’s better to sell it to me and secure the position of guild leader than to close without leaving a single penny.”

“That’s right…”

I looked at Leana’s troubles for a while, and I was able to understand her intentions.

“You don’t want to sell it to just anyone.”

“Well, actually… Yes, that’s right. I’m thinking of selling it, but I’d like to hand it over to someone who can make the guild like it used to be.”

“Then you should sell to me even more.”

My words caused Leana to laugh.

“Is there any guarantee that Mr. Leonard is the person I am looking for?”

“Did your father die after encountering a demon during the quest?”

Leana’s face hardened in an instant.

“How do you know that?”

“You just said it with your own mouth. There’s no one in this city who doesn’t know about this guild.”

According to the information obtained from Clemence, the unexpected accident in which Leana’s father died was a demon encounter.

Demons have a unique passive skill that makes people instinctively fearful.

Because of this, no matter how powerful a person is, they are unable to move in front of the devil.

That’s why Hwangseong’s knight commander only ran away from battle every time during the Great Demon Expedition.

So only demon hunters with the mental defense against that passive skill can deal with demons.

“I am a demon hunter. You may find it hard to believe, but I killed the Great Demon that descended on the Grand Test Empire with my own hands.”

Then, Leah Na let her face loose and burst into laughter.

“Ahahahaha, funny. I’m sorry. But it’s so funny, puhahahaha!”

I understand.

It is said that he killed the great devil without any proof, but I can’t help but laugh.

Leona, who had been laughing for a long time, gasped for breath as she wiped her eyes.

“Ah, I’m dying. It’s been a while since I’ve laughed out loud. Whoa…”

Leanna ran her hair through her hair and said with a smile.

“Then why don’t you just bring me a demon head from somewhere instead of just talking about it? That way I’ll believe it a bit.”

“Devil’s head? Would that be enough?”

“That’s enough. If you bring it, I’d like to stuff it well and hang it on the wall as a trophy. Rumors will spread that it’s a guild with demon hunters as guild leaders.”

“Hmm, yes. I see.”

Soon the Great Demon will be resurrected and demons will once again rule the empire.

In that case, if you let me know the name of the guild specializing in demon hunting in advance, I’ll make some money.

“Okay, Leana. Then I’ll come back with the Demon Head. Instead…”

“I promise. I will trust Leonard and sell the guild.”

I got up right away.

Getting a devil’s head isn’t even a job.

I searched through strategy and setting books in my head and started to pick up a list of demons hiding in the border area that borders the empire.

* * * * *

A shabby hut on the border of the Duchy of Nantes.

A slender man hurriedly opened the door to his hut and entered.

There are several crushed and spoiled grapes in the bosom.

Some of the vineyards that had lost their commercial value were stolen from a vineyard not far from here.

The entire body of the human locking the door was engulfed in black flames.

Soon, humans returned to the body of a demon with huge horns.

[Krurh, Taastyak. (Huh, delicious.)]

The devil murmured as he carefully put the bunches of grapes into his mouth one by one as if they were very precious food.

Still, it’s difficult to eat too much. Because there is nothing to eat tomorrow.

After the absurd downfall of the Great Devil, the power of the demons has drastically shrunk.

Until the resurrection of the great devil, all the demons are living in silence, fearing that they will be trampled on and followed unluckily.

It’s hard to polymorph into a human every time I go out, and I’m tired of eating only dirty food like this.

Still, let’s hold on a little longer. Until the great devil resurrects again.

When that time comes, the world will belong to demons!!

At that moment, the wall of the hut suddenly shattered and a human broke into it.

[Vok Nekyak?! Meal Throgak Canis Non….(What are you?! I didn’t even mention anything when I was eating….)]

As the blade that shone like a star cut through the air, the devil’s head fell.

Leonard, picking up the devil’s head that rolled at his feet, leisurely left the hut.
