The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With - Chapter 169
169 – A Fortune Rolls in (3)
That’s how Emeric and Isidore stayed in our guild.
The remaining rooms on this floor were assigned to two people and the existing guild members were gathered separately on the first floor.
The guild members who heard the whole story agreed with my opinion.
Although they were hostile forces, Emeric and Isidore did not cause any direct damage to us.
On the contrary, it has collapsed so miserably that I feel pity for it.
One became a fool and the other became a fugitive and had his arm amputated.
How desperate must he have been to risk his life to escape and entrust himself to the guild of his enemy just before death?
Moreover, while Emeric was running away, he killed his successor, the knight commander, and several knights.
Now you can never return to the empire again.
Celestine sniffled and shed tears.
As her tears fell on the floor, she clicked her tongue and brought Celestine a tissue.
“Then let’s assume everyone has agreed and let us keep these two people with us for the winter.”
“Great.” “Let’s do that.”
Emeric and Isidore both recovered from their frostbite thanks to Celestine’s treatment of her.
If it had been just a little bit later, I would have cut off her hands and feet.
Emeric completely perked up and that’s when he started bothering us.
It didn’t mean anything bad.
Our guild is a thorn in the side of Emeric right now.
So, I was trying to say something to become a somewhat useful person.
“Give me the broom. I will clean.”
“What are you trying to do with one arm? Go and warm up in the fireplace.”
Smart snatched the broom and pushed Emeric towards the fireplace.
“If you need someone for a request, wouldn’t you take me too? Even though I’m one-armed, if I can hold a sword, I can do pretty much anything. I won’t ask you to give me money.”
“Well, there are a lot of contract guild members right now, so I don’t have any special requests to give to the leader.”
Leana looked at her request list and shook her head with a smile.
“Berserker. Would you like to go chopping firewood with me? I am the strongest swordsman in the empire. I can wield a sword as well as an ax…”
“Oh, I paid money to buy it, so I don’t have to worry about it.”
Lucene, who was lying down on the sofa reading a book, held out her hand.
“Wizard. I heard that he usually handles requests alone. I’ll take charge of the vanguard. Since ancient times, a wizard needs a warrior to block approaching enemies.”
“There’s no need. I’m not doing any dangerous requests these days.”
“I see…”
Emeric, who was rejected by everyone, became somewhat discouraged and returned to the room where Isidore was.
Isidore had become a complete fool.
I know that in the past, on the Plains of Tancred, I had close eye contact with Nightrend and lost consciousness.
But I never thought it would turn out like that.
“Uuuuu…”
Isidore walked around the guild smiling brightly.
So Emeric was so scared that Isidore would run away that he almost had a nervous breakdown.
If I go out, I’m afraid I might get lost, fall on the ice, or meet bad guys.
“Hey, I’m sorry, but could you comb Isidore’s hair? It’s really difficult because I only have one arm.”
Emeric often brought a comb and asked a favor of Celestine, who seemed to have nothing to do.
“Emeric. Why do you take care of Isidore like this?”
“That’s because I’m the only ally left now.”
Emeric smiled bitterly.
“I thought a lot as I went through many things during that time. It took me too long to realize that everything I had done so far was wrong, and I lost a lot in the meantime. Now that I have lost my left arm, I don’t want to lose Isidore as well. “
“Don’t worry too much because we are taking good care of you. I think you will lose your hair because of Isidor.”
“Hair loss. What do you mean?”
“If I get too stressed, my hair falls out.”
Then Emeric hurriedly grabbed his forehead and his hair.
“Luckily it doesn’t seem to have gone that far.”
Still, Emeric seemed a little relieved by my words, and now he began to leave the guild little by little.
He received money from Leana, went shopping with Dettogi, and went back and forth between the contract guild members’ accommodations and Renzo Montaigne’s branch to exchange necessary documents.
It was a life of retirement that was not at all suitable for a former leader of the Imperial Knights, but Emeric seemed very happy to be able to do something like this.
Ornette continued to visit Orléans’ laboratory.
It was to find a way to return the mentally collapsed wizard Isidore to normal.
However, the spirit broken by Nightrend can never be restored with magic.
I talked to Ornette about it, but Ornette didn’t give up.
“I don’t know if there is a way, and I don’t want to cause frustration to those people.”
“Uuuuu!”
When Emeric returns from going out, Isidore, who was waiting for him while sitting in front of the fireplace, runs barefoot and falls into his arms.
Looking at it, I can understand Ornette’s feelings
How long has it been like that?

I thought of a good idea.
“Emeric. I have a proposition for you.”
I called Emeric to the guild leader’s room and said.
“You. How about becoming a swordsmanship instructor for our guild members?”
“A swordsmanship instructor. What kind of one-armed person like me?”
“I know that honestly, even if you don’t have an arm, it’s no different from before. Instead, try teaching the kids a bit. It’s a shame that a guy who is said to be the strongest knight in the empire is doing little errands.”
“I see…”
“You know how to use any melee weapon. You teach the kids. So, we weed out those who showed promise. We were already planning to select regular employees to further increase the size of the guild.”
“What if…”
Emeric slowly opened his mouth.
“If you trust me and leave it to me, I will give it a try.”
“I’ll give you a paycheck too.”
“There is no need, Leonard. Don’t make me more miserable with things like that.”
“You should have some money to spend as you please. It’s hard to ask Isidor to comb his hair, but you can’t ask Leana for money at all.”
Emeric, who was looking at me silently, lowered his head.
“Damn it…”
Emeric sobbed and roughly rubbed his eyes with his sleeve.
* * * * *
That’s how Emeric became our guild’s instructor.
The number of contract guild members employed by the guild varies depending on the time period, but is approximately between twenty and thirty.
If you include about 20 guild members that Renzo Montaigne is with, it is a large unit of almost 50 people.
As the number of people increases and we become an exclusive guild in Shlessi and the area, we are involved in most requests in the eastern part of the principality.
These fifty guild members are dispatched to Ornette’s portal, and they often arrive injured or dead.
Most of them are due to lack of skills.
This is because there are many wandering mercenaries whose skills have not been clearly proven because they are contract workers.
So, it was decided to appoint Emeric as an instructor to improve the combat and survival skills of guild members.
Those with talent will be selected separately and converted to full-time employees.
Emeric went out to the guild together every morning.
According to Leana, who wakes up around the same time, Emeric’s expression is extremely bright as he leaves the guild.
During his time as a knight, Emeric was the chief instructor of the Imperial Knights.
A personality that has a talent for teaching others and finds it rewarding.
That’s why he taught me swordsmanship during the time of the punitive force.
A large vacant lot on the outskirts of Shlesi was purchased and turned into a training ground.
There, Emeric taught the guild members.
Sword, axe, spear, iron sword, mace, etc.
There is no melee weapon that Emeric cannot handle as the Empire’s strongest swordsman.
Even though I can’t do it anymore because I’m missing an arm, I’m skilled at bows and crossbows.
The satisfaction of the guild members who received training from Emeric was also quite high.
Emeric is cowardly and timid, but his basic personality is gentle.
Moreover, looking at his appearance, he has an elegant face that makes him look like a master from a noble family.
To the contract guild members who lived a lowly life, Emeric’s words were like law.
In this way, Emeric taught the guild members and selected those who showed potential to become his assistants.
Then he later asked me to buy him office furniture, such as a desk and a bookcase.
Emeric decorated his room like the office of his knight commander and began working as an instructor in earnest.
He teaches guild members during the day, turns on the lights at night, and writes documents until late at night.
The guild members’ personal information and skill levels are drawn up in a chart and classified by level.
He matches the assistants he selected ex officio to groups of the corresponding level and creates small groups.
Several criteria for reaching a certain level are presented and appropriate rewards are given for each level.
The rewards are things that were purchased with the operating expenses received from my suggestions.
For example, practical things such as high-quality combat gloves and belts.
Once you reach the highest level set by Emeric, you will be converted to a full-time employee and will finally become an official guild member of Lucas.
Our guild’s popularity in the eastern part of the principality has skyrocketed, and becoming a full-time member of Lucas’ guild is a huge career opportunity.
So everyone tried to meet the standards set by Emeric.
Since Emeric took over as instructor, the injury and death rates of guild members who have completed requests have drastically decreased.
As the rumor spread that you could earn money, learn combat skills, and get a decent job if you were lucky, a huge number of people started flocking to our guild.
