Chapter 517 – Sanctuary of Blood (4)
“Suuuuu…, Ha… ! “It’s been a while since I smelled the scent of my hometown, hmm!”
Elena walks ahead, intoxicated with the scent of her homeland that she has smelled for the first time in a long time.
I follow her and leave Sofia Port.
A unique landscape begins to unfold in earnest.
Meanwhile, a familiar face is waving his hand in this direction.
“Hey, it’s here! Here!”
Beauty and wildness that capture the attention of passers-by.
“Elena?”
She was none other than Elena.
Seeing that there was a large bus standing behind it, it seemed like they had been notified of the arrival time in advance and had come to meet us.
As I approached her, Elena wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me in, as if she had been waiting.
“It’s been a while, huh? Didn’t you miss me?”
Waiting for the place I was helplessly taken to was a voluptuous breast.
With her face half buried there, she barely opens her mouth.
“Well, it’s nice to meet you, but…, This is a bit… !”
Oh, indeed.
It’s so strong that I can’t escape.
There is a playful look on her face as she looks down.
“Hmm~? He pretends to have trouble speaking, but his facial expression is very…, Does it look good?”
Ah.
I got caught.
Soon, harsh gazes pour in from those around me.
If I stay like this for a few more seconds, I might die.
“Keuhumhmmm… “Please leave me alone.”
As I spoke, trying to exclude any happy feelings, Angela finally let go of her embrace.
“Well, this is the end of the prank.”
She points with her thumb at the bus standing on the road behind me.
“Get on it first. Uncle Francis is waiting.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
He gestures to the guild members to get on board and gets them on one by one, then gets on last.
Eventually the bus departs.
It passes through the center of the capital, which was once a thriving city, and reaches the outskirts.
We eventually arrived in front of a hotel built on a quiet street.
“Okay, let’s get off here.”
“This place… ?”
“This is the hotel you will stay at for the time being.”
A gray building that appears to have been built quite a long time ago, but has been well maintained and has an old-fashioned feel.
“It’s not 5-star, but you’ll be able to stay comfortably. “We rented the whole place.”
Their wealth is once again surprising.
Even though it’s not a 5-star hotel, it’s hard to believe that you can rent an entire hotel like this.
Well, it also proves how important this operation is.
“You must have spent a lot of money.”
“I guess so, right? I don’t know the details. Because they weren’t involved. Anyway, let’s go in!”
As you enter the hotel, the waiting doormen come up and take your suitcase.
“First, let’s unpack and rest for a while. “I’ll call you soon, so don’t fall asleep or anything.”
“I will.”
I get into the elevator, following the doorman ahead.
Ding!
We arrived at the 7th floor.
From the nearest rooms 701 to 707.
A card key for each room is assigned to each person.
The key given to me is number 701.
“Everyone goes to your room, pack up your things, and get some rest.”
“Ugh.”
“Okay.”
“See you in a bit.”
Guild members moving to the room given to me.
The person with key number 702 is…, It’s Seoyeon.
I turn my head at just the right moment and my eyes meet his.
“… “Over there.”
“… ?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
And then he goes into his room.
“… “What is it?”
I think he was trying to say something.
I don’t know.
If it’s something important, I’ll always say it first.
* * *
Knock!
“Hey, are you in there?”
It was about an hour later that Angela found the room where Kim Do-jin stayed.
Rattling!
As I open her door and go out, she opens her mouth and points to her elevator.
“We have prepared a conference room on the 15th floor. From now on, we will hold a brief meeting there.”
“How many people are attending?”
“Well, all involved in the operation. He doesn’t like talking about parts in isolation. Well, what did they say…, There is a Korean proverb like that. “It’s better to hold paper together, right?”
“What…, It’s similar.”
To be precise, it would be better to have a blank piece of paper.
In short, if a lot of people come together and come up with various plans, there might be something good among them.
Not a bad method.
At the same time, it is also a method that is difficult for anyone else to attempt.
A person like Francis Meyer would be surrounded by many outstanding people, so only good stories would abound, but other people would experience the boat going up a mountain due to the increased number of boatmen.
“Anyway, I’ll be up first, so come up with your guild members.”
“Yes, please go up first.”
When I answered that, she suddenly stretched out her arms and squeezed my buttocks, grinning.
“Cute bastard.”
“…”
It looks like she will have to show her majesty once again soon.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
We call all the guild members who were resting for a while and head to the 15th floor.
Ding!
Kim Do-jin and other guild members felt that the atmosphere became quite heavy as soon as the door opened.
It was because of the hunters standing closely in the long hallway.
The mood of these people looking around with sharp eyes as if wary of an intrusion by an external enemy is weighing heavily on the atmosphere in the hallway.
It slowly began to touch my heart.
The fact is that I didn’t come here to have fun, but to carry out a very dangerous operation.
Kim Do-jin’s words then softly resonate in their ears.
“Everyone, don’t act rashly. If you have something to say, say it clearly and in an adult manner.”
It was both advice and a warning.
From now on, you must show only the nimble side of a real hunter, not an inexperienced hunter.
The guild members followed behind Kim Do-jin, silently swallowing words that were like gold and silver.
When you open the two large doors at the end of the hallway and enter, there is a spacious table and chairs surrounding it.
And the man sitting at the head of the table is the first to come into view.
“Hey, you’re finally here!”
A man who gets up from his seat as soon as he sees Kim Do-jin and runs towards him.
As soon as they saw him, the guild members behind them froze.
That was natural.
If you know who the man in front of you is, then of course you will.
Shin Yu-jeong, with her eyes wide open, speaks his name.
“F-Francis Meyer…”
Humanity’s greatest hero.
He is standing in front of them.
“Wow, wow… !”
“Isn’t this a dream, Harin?”
“… Yes, surprisingly.”
But that wasn’t the end of their shock.
“Are the young people in the back our friend’s guild members?”
“Yes, these are talented people I carefully selected.”
“Wow, this is really great! Sooner or later, a bunch of S-class will be born, haha!”
Hunter on Hunter.
A utopia that everyone who dreams of becoming a hunter hopes to become.
When you select a candidate for the most influential person in the world, this person is definitely included.
“Oh right. Did I tell you? I’ll prepare some good drinks. Is there a bar right above here with a killer night view? Have a drink there…”
They are having a private conversation with Kim Do-jin’s arm around his shoulder.
It’s so friendly too.
It’s like a friendship that transcends age.
“… “What is that guy really?”
It was surprising once again.
A person named Kim Do-jin who, no matter how many times I criticize him, only shows his amazing side.
What I’ve shown so far is amazing, and now I’m friends with Francis Meyer.
Does this make sense?
Haha! Good. Let’s end the meeting quickly first. Take your seats! Are the others still far away?”
“Everyone is coming.”
“Tell them to come quickly! You have to come quickly, so you can finish quickly and rest quickly!”
“Haha, yes.”
Francis leads the conference room with a gentle yet powerful charisma.
At just one word from him, people came running, and soon dozens of seats were filled.
After confirming that all the chairs were filled, he stood up and raised his voice.
“First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone!”
He spoke with a grin and immediately bowed.
“Thank you so much for participating in this dangerous operation!”
The ripple effect was surprising.
Who would have known that the person called humanity’s greatest hero would bow down so easily?
I felt it at the same time.
That he is truly a true person and a hero.
After finishing his greeting, he opens his mouth again.
“To… “Let me explain for those who haven’t heard the story properly yet.”
He calms his voice once in preparation for the shock that is about to come.
He starts talking with his eyes shining.
“There is an enemy threatening this world. “Not monsters, but people with human bodies and more evil intentions than monsters.”
Pride, lust, jealousy, stinginess, sloth, anger.
And greed.
“The seeds of evil who harbor the source of all evil defined in the Bible. We call them the Seven Deadly Sins, and those who inherit and lead their power the most are called apostles.”
There was no hesitation in his words.
And no one thought his words were lies.
“That is why we have gathered you here. Humanity’s greatest enemy, the apostle of the Seven Deadly Sins. To put an end to one of them.”
That means.
“It means that you will all be on the front lines of the war to protect humanity and the world. Before that, I have one last question. “Is there anyone who wants to go back now?”
“…”
“…”
A heavy silence.
This was positive.
Not a single person will leave the ship they boarded to protect humanity.
Satisfied with this, he finished his last words with a grin.
“Then, from now on, I will begin explaining the strategy for targeting the Apostles of the Seven Deadly Sins.”
