Chapter 45 - Suspicious
Seeing the horse carriage that was getting farther and farther away, Desmond felt conflicted.
I hope you're alright, Alice.
After waiting a few seconds, the horse-drawn carriage was out of sight. Desmond turned around, and his expression turned cold.
Guild, huh?
I hope they won't disappoint me.
If not…
Desmond then headed towards the library room.
Inside the library, Desmond was looking for books related to the guild.
Raveon Soul, this guild has been operating for five years after the rebellion. Some wizards/witches or swordsmen don't want to be tied to the kingdom anymore. They had 1 - 2nd Class wizard as a Guild Leader and 1 - 3rd Class Swordsman as the Guild representative.
With their headquarters located in the Imperial Empire, they had opened branches throughout all Human territory. They accepted several requests that the kingdom could not fulfill, such as escorting chariots/groups, looking for herbs, killing monsters, being temporary personal bodyguards.
Hmm, a guild formed after the rebellion.
And also has branches in all Human territory.
Flicking through a few pages, Desmond came across a page called 'Some of the Best Mercenaries in the Raven Soul Guild,' and then he saw something that caught his interest.
Steel Legion?
Steel Legion was the second Mercenaries formed. The strength of their leader 'Veronica' amazed everyone. She proved that a woman could become a swordsman. Even though Veronica was a swordsman, she was not as muscular as other 'Swordsmen.' On the contrary, she was stunning; Their members could only consist of women.
Oh, so they are also included.
After a few hours analyzing a few documents about the guild, Desmond finally summarized the important points about the guilds' existence in this world.
Hmm, so I can make a job request for the guild.
If I'm not born as a rich young master, maybe now I've become an adventure in the guild searching for money.
Then he clapped his hands three times, and a servant came in.
"Yes, young master?"
"Make a job request to the guild to find out the people or organizations involved in the kidnapping of the child. Be it a dark organization or not.
" Set the reward to 50 gold coins/organization."
"Yes, young master, if I may excuse."
Desmond's family was wealthy; Leona and Bastian, who worked in the military, made abundant wealth. That's why Desmond did not hesitate to spend money on something useful.

The next day, at the king's residence, the throne room.
The large door to the throne room opened. A person wearing a robe and a crown on his head entered the room. Everyone in the room then bowed their heads, waiting for the person who had just arrived to sit down.
Feeling that the person had sat down, they raised their heads silently, and did not dare to make a sound.
One of the men, wearing armor, stepped forward. He bent down while crossing his arms across his chest. "Sanders, the Minister of Defense, is asking for his majesty's approval to report on the activities that will be carried out today.
" Approved." Edward, the person who had just come and sat on the throne, gave approval to his subordinates.
"Yes!" Sanders then stood up and looked at the king. He took out several boards filled with a lot of paper. "Today, we will carry out two activities.
"The first activity is, as usual, our patrol team will guard the entire inner and outer city areas, preventing incidents of assassin attacks from the Imperial Empire.
"The second activity is that our investigation team will conduct further investigations into cases of disappearance or the reduction in the number of sla-. ehm, the number of demons who have been missing for the past three years.
" That's all, thank you. " After that, Sanders took a step back and walked backward to his original position.
Everyone in the room was shocked to hear this news. As for the assassin attacking matter, they already knew about it. Even if this was an official announcement, it would be impossible to hide the mess created when the troops fought against the assassins.
Even the citizens felt insecure. Therefore, this was an official announcement that served to calm the citizens and inform the imperial empire that they would take it seriously this time.
What surprised them was the loss of assets or slaves.
Suddenly, one of the men stepped forward and bowed in front of the king. "Holmes, the Prime Minister of the royal management, asking the king's approval to object Prime Minister Sanders statement."
"Approved." Waved his hand, Edward became interested.
"Based on the report from Prime Minister Sanders, they will carry out an investigation that has occurred from three years ago?" Holmes then turned to Sanders and saw his difficult expression.
"That's right, Prime Minister Holmes. It's true, we shouldn't be investigating the old case, but we just got a report that this case was similar to a case that happened three years ago, "Sanders replied with a frown. He didn't feel good after he saw the smile on Holmes's face.
Edward, who heard this, also had an unsightly expression.
"What about the case three years ago? Did you fail? Is this how you manage the national defense?!" Holmes knew this was an excellent opportunity to overthrow his old rival.
"Watch your words, Prime Minister Holmes. We are in the meeting room!
"We have been investigating this for three years, but no citizen has ever witnessed this incident. We received this report two days ago when the residents found several bodies in the alley, " Sanders replied in a helpless tone. He had suspected this killer was related to the case of a demon that disappeared three years ago.
Because the killing style was the same, the killer seemed very much sadistic. He even found many demon corpses in a small alley.
Hearing this news, they became disgusted when they remembered the information two days ago. The info said that all the corpses were cut, some were split in two, some had their stomachs coming out, not even women could escape this.
"It proves that you don't…"
"Enough!" Looking at the throne room atmosphere, which was initially just for discussion to turn over to each other, Edward became very angry. He gave off a bit of his murderous aura at Holmes. "This is the throne room. Sanders, I give you one year to handle this.
" If you still do not succeed, then your salary and facilities will be lowered or even withdrawn.
"And you, Holmes. Once again, I heard you vilify one of the employees in the throne room. I will immediately dismiss you from this room."
Holmes and Sanders immediately bowed. "Forgive us, king, we will not repeat it again." 2x
"Very well, today's meeting is ended." Edward stood and immediately walked out of the throne room with an uncomfortable expression. This morning's meeting had ruined his mood to eat with his family.
