190. Probably with me
The guild master is back!
The Hero’s Guild is a group that boasts a long history and tradition that has been established for over 500 years.
In the meantime, there have been countless changes of guild leaders, but the current guild leader was special.
Heroes are those who are born with extraordinary talents with the power of a dimension. You have to be strong enough to fight against the demon king and demons.
Only the strong can be treated.
However, most of the warriors were also human and could not win the time. No matter how strong you are, you grow old. weakens
However, their experiences did not disappear. Therefore, the guild was divided into active duty and non-active service.
The strongest stars.
They were the vanguard of the guild running at the forefront, and it was the five elders and the guild leader who were actually in charge of and managing the guild.
Argans were occasionally appointed by active duty, but elders were only qualified to retired elders. And the guild leader was elected by the votes of those elders.
Not among the most powerful now, but among the most popular and most accomplished in the past.
Yes, those who built it.
They are inferior compared to most active stars. There was no choice but to do so, and that’s why the current guild leader was special.
Ten years had passed since he disappeared, but at that time, he was already well over seventy-two.
However, he was young enough to believe that he was in his thirties and was strong enough to overwhelm the stars of the strongest warrior.
After his disappearance, it was almost forgotten by the appearance of an outstanding warrior named Balaf Dislord, but there were many who could not forget the nostalgia.
He is a great warrior who hunted two demon kings before Hillen Cargill.
Even at the age of over seventy, he was a great leader stronger than the stars.
so that.
“Long live the guild chief!”
“The guild chief is back!”
His return had no choice but to shake the entire continent.
Compared to a few decades ago, his appearance, as if he was still not aged, made him stand out even more.
“Since the guild leader is back, the Demon King of Fire…”
“Even that damn bastard wouldn’t do anything to the guild leader!”
“Cancer, not like that.”
People thought that the guild leader, who had not seen the flames of the Demon King, had returned from hiding.
So they pushed out their anxiety with hope. Because I believed that the guild leader, who was always great, would naturally solve the problem again this time.
And that guess was, to some extent, correct.
* * *
Hillen Cargill felt a heavy mood,
It was the first time that all the guild executives had gathered except for the moment when he was appointed Argan.
no.
‘…that person.’
It was the first time that all the ‘real’ executives had gathered.
‘The guild leader of the guild of the warriors who are full of rumors.’
He was called the great warrior who killed two demon kings before Hillen Cargill.
Even after retiring from the stars, it was difficult to find an opponent.
A person who became a legend by suddenly disappearing after becoming a guild leader.
It was the first time I saw the guild head in person. Because when Hillen had just started his heroic journey, he had already gone into hiding.
‘young.’
He looked very young, regardless of his age of close to 100. If I hadn’t known in advance that I was the guild leader, I would have mistaken him for one of the common warriors.
The fact that he hid his energy close to perfection made Hillen’s neck cool.
“Everyone is welcome.”
The guild leader, who sat quietly at the top seat and waited for everyone to be seated, opened his mouth for the first time. It was low and calm with no ups and downs, but it overwhelmingly overwhelms the crowd.
“Some faces you know and some you don’t know.”
He glanced at the crowd. Every time their eyes met, people cringed. And his eyes met with Hillen.
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
That moment.
I had goosebumps all over my body. I felt something huge in the US.
He bit his lip desperately as he felt his hair curled up.
Is it an illusion that the guild leader’s eyes are like drawing subtle arcs?
The pressure disappeared in an instant. Because his head has turned back to the left.
“I think you can roughly guess the reason why you broke the chip and returned to the guild, and the reason why you were immediately summoned.”
“Isn’t it to save us from the current chaotic situation?”
The chieftain bowed his head.
“Similar but different. It’s because I can’t keep my eyes open and see the pathetic figure being swayed by the Demon King.”
So pathetic, and pathetic again.
“It is a situation that could not have been even dreamed of just a few decades ago. If we swung the Demon King, we swung it, never swung it.”
Dozens of raids attacked the tower, and when the bravery started, one demon king was unconditionally killed.
The demon king did not dare to step into the realm of humans, and it was clearly moments when humans could be confident that they had the superiority of the demon king.
Because it was a world where there were jokes about keeping the Demon King alive out of necessity.
And it was the guild leader who took the lead. He killed two demon kings and subjugated hundreds of demons, demons, and more monsters.
“However, to have fallen to this extent after being absent for a while.”
His gaze turned to some elders.
“In the guild of heroes who should be more neutral than any other group, they form ties with each country and engage in dirty politics.”
That’s not enough.
“More than anyone else, those who should take the lead in subjugating the Demon King save themselves.”
The guild leader gave off a gentle momentum. Some breathed in the heavier air.
“I heard that the preparations for the heroic journey were sluggish, as it was not enough even to subdue the demon king of the Geumgang River by driving the momentum that subjugated the demon king of the flames. In a situation where people are trembling with anxiety, can you still be proud of yourself as a hero?”
“However.”
Then, an elder cautiously opened his mouth.
“Over hundreds of warriors died due to the failure to subdue the Tower of Flames. It is the most devastating damage in hundreds of years, and it will take time to fully recover.”
“Is it okay to pretend not to know the expectations of those who are trembling with anxiety looking at the guild’s honor and justice, which has fallen to the floor due to failure?”
“Fortunately, we have subjugated the Geumgang Tower. The head of the Demon King of the Geumgang was cut off, and his body was checked by all continents. Thanks to this, the guild’s honor and prestige were restored to some extent, and anxiety decreased. I think it is right to restore the damage of the guild with this precious time.”
“Do you really think so?”
“Yes?”
“I’m asking you if you really believe that the guild’s wounds are fully healed since you killed the Demon King of the Geum River.”
“Not completely, but to some extent…”
“Elder Tristano Kaniev.”
Tristano shut his mouth in contempt.
“Hundreds of warriors have died. But did you say that the prestige that had been eroded by just killing one demon king has returned?”
“…the Demon Lord is not the only one.”
“It is only. Countless number of demon lords failed to fulfill their will, leaving no corpses behind.”
“It is the past.”
“It is now. It was the same until only a year or two ago. Isn’t it? Hillen Cargill. As a party, what do you think of this nonsense?”
Before the Demon King of Geum River was subjugated by Ballaf This Lord, the last demon king to die was a beast, and it was Hillen Cargill who beheaded him.
And before that, it was lust, and it was Hillen Cargill who subjugated him.
“···I agree with the guild leader’s opinion. Just a year or two ago, I could not have imagined a situation like today.”
“Of course I agree with that. However, the Demon Lord of Chlorination is different. Hillen Cargill! Haven’t you also been subjected to the magic of the Demon King of Fire?”
“That’s right, but that’s why I don’t think we should let the Demon Lord of Chlorination be left alone. The Demon Lord of Fire is different from other Demon Lords. If we continue to stand by, there’s a good chance we’ll have bigger problems, not hundreds.”
“I think the same.”
The guildmaster laughed. Nevertheless, Tristano was negative.
“It’s not about being on the lookout. It just takes time. You can’t fail again, can you? Any further failure will have an irreversible impact on the Heroes’ Guild!”
It wasn’t wrong. The Demon King of Chlorination gave the heroes too many failures. It presented shock and horror.
If you fail one more time because you moved too hastily, will you ever be able to recover?
Perhaps the honor and prestige of the guild of heroes that had been built up for hundreds of years would fall to a level from which it could never be recovered.
“But that doesn’t mean you can’t be completely out of touch.”
“You are right.”
“If you let go of the danger, it may be more difficult to stop the Demon Lord of Fire.”
The chieftain agreed. So did some elders and Argan. Tristano bit his lip.
The guild leader’s eyes were fixed on Hillen Cargill, who had been pondering for a moment.
“So, under the guidance of a more reliable person, we can prepare for the bravery step by step.”
To the hero who has encountered the Demon King of Fire more than anyone else and has shown outstanding results.
“Healan Cargill.”
The guild leader whispered his name softly.
“I want to leave it to you, but what do you think?”
“Are you talking about that?”
“I don’t think there is anyone more suitable than you, the great warrior who killed the two demon kings, and the only one who saved the Crown Princess of Hilderan from the Demon Lord of Fire. How is it?”
“·················ogue.”
Hillen didn’t answer quickly. As a member of Berge’s family, it was an unacceptable proposal.
But the guild leader’s reason was justified. He could not ignore his authority in front of everyone watching.
“It’s too much for me to handle.”
“What do other people think?”
“The guild leader is right.”
“I also think that there is no one more suitable than Hillen-sama.”
Everyone shouted in unison.
“Have you heard? The further specification is not humility, but neglect and irresponsibility. Abandoning my duty as a warrior.”
“·················ogue.”
In the end, Hillen had no choice but to bow his head.
“I will do my best to subdue the Demon King of Fire.”
* * *
“Hey, did you hear the news? It is said that the Heroes’ Guild is preparing for the bravery of the Tower of Chloride again. The leader is Hillen Cargill.”
“Not Ballaf Dislord? The Demon Lord of Fire is different from other Demon Lords. The greatest warrior must come forward.”
“What is the greatest warrior? Why would you entrust the bravery to a loser who has already failed many times?”
“You are a failure. You don’t know who beheaded the Demon King of the Geumgang this time!”
“Geumgang and Chloride are different. Do you think you forgot who the only hero who found the Tower of Chlorination was?”
Ballaf Thissrod and Healan Cargill.
The current strongest and the rising strong.
Comparing the two is a natural human instinct.
These conversations were taking place all over the continent.
This is because, in order to eliminate people’s worries and concerns about the Demon King of Fire as much as possible, the Heroes’ Guild, with Hillen Cargill as the leader, announced the fact about the Heroic Act on a large scale.
“By the way, did you hear that this was the guild leader’s decision?”
“Why don’t you go out on your own?”
“Who knows the deep meaning of him? It must mean something.”
“Well, whoever it is, I hope you kill the Demon King of Fire.”
Whether he was chanting Hillen Cargill or sleeping chanting Ballaf This Road, the end of the conversation was always the same. They prayed for the death of Chloride and soaked them in wine.
It was because the events caused by the Demon King of Chlorination were a huge shock and left a long scar.
However, the party who received everyone’s expectations could not happily accept the role.
“So, you’re going to be the captain of this brave journey.”
“sorry. I couldn’t refuse.”
“Does not matter. What you need to worry about is not that, but how to protect your honor as much as possible even if you fail.”
“Yes.”
“More than that, what kind of guy is that guild leader?”
“We haven’t been able to talk to each other. And on the outside, it didn’t feel like anything.”
For a brief moment, except for the moment our eyes met.
Healan Cargill was probably the only one who checked the guild chief’s fragments.
“I got goosebumps. The Ballaf Dislord wasn’t like that either.”
『Are there any heroes stronger than Ballaf Dislord?』
“That doesn’t make sense.”
Balaf Dislord fought an equal battle with Berge, who surpassed himself before the return.
Even if they borrowed the power of the Red Dragon Sword and didn’t do their best to each other, they could not disparage their level.
But are there more heroes than that?
“But obviously it was.”
“What does he look like? Please tell me the color of your hair or eyes.”
“Both were black.”
“…God damn it, maybe.”
Berge’s eyes narrowed.
There was one thing, I guess. The hero who killed Berge before returning.
He was very strong and had a Red Dragon Sword and Barstein. But it wasn’t Ballaf Dislord.
‘Really, what if the ballaf is simply a middleman and the master of the sword is the guild leader?’
At that time, the hero who killed Berge became the guild leader.
‘But no matter how much you think, there’s another guy like Ballaf Dislord.’
A curse came out of nowhere.
I realized once again why Arain was the worst dimension, the wall that got higher the more I knew it.
‘Balaf This Lord and the guild leader of the Heroes’ Guild. You should always be on the lookout for them.’
“I’ll find out at once. Do your best as a warrior.”
Those words made Hillen’s shoulders heavier.
That’s because Berger was saying that he was confident.
‘Will there be an opportunity to escape?’
With a sigh, he cursed the guild leader for entrusting him with heavy responsibilities.
* * *
“It’s the guild chief.”
I didn’t see the guild chief’s face, but I thought it might be him.
For once it was there. The new bravery no longer poses any danger to Berge.
And now he was in a state of trouble because of something else.
‘Ugar Belbek.’
he died The Golden Tower collapsed.
It was probably not aimed at the Geumgang Tower from the beginning. Their offensive towards the Tower of Frigidity was certain, and they must have made a quick judgment after the tower disappeared.
‘Is the butterfly effect that saved Raina like this?’
stupid bastard
He cursed Ugar, who was already married.
A person who values his life above all else, but can’t do anything when it’s really important.
Even if I couldn’t do it, if I had communicated with Berge once, I would have absorbed the tower as a family member right away.
what a waste. it’s very wasteful
‘It has already passed. A new demon king is coming anyway. So, throw away your regrets…’
Berge tapped the armrest.
His thoughts branched out in different directions.
Jason Cockmundo.
‘Is this what you mean?’
Ugar was nothing more than Jason’s faithful nerd. That he was killed by Ballaf Dislord meant that Jason had abandoned Ugar.
‘To raise Ballaf?’
Is it worth it to abandon Ugar, who has been with him for nearly a hundred years?
‘have.’
Yes, only one thing. obviously exists
‘To kill me.’
To strengthen Balaf and strike his neck more reliably.
‘Do you know how to be meek?’
In a way, this too was like a demon king killing another demon king.
‘What if we get evidence and use Reina’s communication port to contact the Archduke?’
So what if we cut the connection between Jason and the Demon Realm?
The blow Jason takes will be different from Berge.
‘Absorbing Raina is really one of the first demon kings.’
The moment Berge is about to call Gordon and Reina to make the plan a little more concrete.
“The Demon King!”
Gordon ran in.
“What’s going on?”
“There are dozens of ships floating right above us. I thought I would be there soon, but I haven’t moved for several days.”
“A ship?”

Maybe a warrior? How do you know the location of the tower?“Uh, um, are you there?”
At that moment, Vivian poked her head out through the gap in the half-open door.
“I think it has something to do with me…”
“···········?”
