Chapter 201 (1/2)

The next day, Luke left the lodgings alone.

Disguised as a pilgrim, he spent several hours looking around the palace and the surroundings.

‘It will be impossible to infiltrate it by myself.’

Just as he had expected, the soldiers and the guards around the palace were many, and the paladins were everywhere.

Infiltrating with dark magic could be advantageous, but the moment one would use it; they could be aware and the paladins would rush in like bees.

‘I will have to think of a different method…’

As soon as the Pope had come out of the palace, they could decide on some contact points, but they couldn’t see any.

Nevertheless, it wasn’t easy to get in contact or kidnap a palace main or servant and brainwash the person for Luke’s use.

Due to the rebellion which was happening, the eyes of the guards were flashing.

“Is there no fine way to do this?”

Luke had been thinking very hard for quite a few days on how it was supposed to be done.

Philip informed that a man had come from the mercenary guild. It was the priestess maiden he saw in the mercenary guild the other day.

“Come from the Guild?”

“Yes, Sir Aldof has asked me to.”

The middle-aged man who they had considered to be a member of the mercenary guild had surprisingly high status. He was a senior executive of the 3rd rank.

On that day, an employee had missed coming to work, leaving a vacancy, so he took the role.

“Do you want to introduce us to the client?” Asked Luke.

“It is like that, but Sir Aldof will let you know of the details in person.”

At the end of the words of the maiden, accompanied by Philip, he went to the Mercenary Guild.

They didn’t have to wait for long as the meeting was determined before itself.

In the room, Aldof who was finishing on the weapons welcomed Luke upon arrival.

“Welcome.”

“What could be the reason that I have been asked to come to the guild?”

“Hu huu, since I have a lot of reasons, please take a seat.” Responded Aldof.

Aldof, who pointed to a chair, smiled a little and opened his mouth looking at Luke.

“Do you like tea? This is a rare tea which has been brought in from the southern continent…”

“I don’t enjoy it, but please get to the topic.”

“You seem to be impatient.” Said Aldof.

Realizing the words that Luke meant, Aldof went straight to the point.

“Do you have any intention of joining our guild?”

The mercenary guild connected the clients to the mercenaries and collected commissions, but they had their own quests.

Which was why most of them had direct mercenaries, and offered to recruit them directly.

When the mercenary guilds recruit mercenaries, it increased the power of the guild and they would be able to earn a higher price for requests.

“We will pay the money without fail. So…”

“I don’t feel like it.”

Seeing Luke refused without even listening to it, Aldof clicked his tongue.

“Tch, well, I can’t help it in that case.”
