Chapter 566 – Chapter 566. Iris Guild (5)

“… So you want cooperation in the investigation of the Black Pillar?”
“To put it simply, it is.”

As Irene grabbed the handle of her coffee cup, she remembered Lee Ho-yeon’s words.
However, Lee Ho-yeon, who was sitting in front of her, did not understand the request.

“I don’t understand. It must be night in Korea right now, so did you come all the way through all the hardships just because of that?”

I was nervous about how important the request was, but Irene didn’t think investigating the black pillar was that important.
Because it was a global event.

“It’s not just that. If there’s a pandemic involved in the Black Pillar, it could be a global catastrophe.”
“But the Iris Guild has already completed the investigation of the Black Pillar?”
“Yes. If it was the Iris Guild, of course the investigation would have been completed.
“That pillar is a simple structure that you just have to get close to. The phenomenon of runaway dungeons is just a new anomaly.”
“Isn’t it ridiculous that the black pillars that occurred all over the world are simple structures?”
“But it was like that when I used magic for the first time, and it was like that when the dungeon first came out. It’s natural now, right? Humans have a hard time accepting new things.”

Why is this person talking so well?
Lee Ho-yeon, who was speechless for a moment, immediately brought up the story of magic.

“…That’s right, Mr. Irene. Do you remember the magic that Lucifer used?
“That dark magic power? Hmmm, is that so? Come to think of it, they seem similar. I’m not sure.”

As expected, Irene didn’t catch on at all.
Even though she directly participated in the battle with Lucifer, she does not think of the magic of hell at all.

“There are many things I can tell you while investigating. Are there any people who are indebted to the Iris Guild?
“Chiron and Albedo? Hmm? Come to think of it, their magical powers were also black.”
“Yes. They are from the same hell. And the magic of that hell is flowing from the black pillar.”
“I can’t say it’s not related. But how did you notice that strangeness? I didn’t even know that I was with you.”

Because I’m the main character. … Can’t say that
Fortunately, I’ve already thought of an excuse.
Lee Ho-yeon has an invincible excuse.

“I found out during magic research.”
“I can’t believe it because wizards say that all they do is study magic. Especially you always do that.”
“… It’s real. You know my nickname, right? Genius wizard Lee Ho-yeon.”
“I know. It’s a problem because it’s too famous.”

Lee Ho-yeon is a genius wizard recognized by the American Wizards Association.
He is evaluated as surpassing the talent of Im Sol, who is said to be born once in a thousand years, so there is no doubt about his ability.
The problem is that they use that excuse too often.
Irene shook her head and asked Scarlett, who was sitting next to her drinking her coffee.

“Scarlett, do you agree with Lee Ho-yeon?”
“Well, I’m just following Hoyeon-nim’s opinion.”
“She’s like a woman who quit the guild because she was crazy in love. She’s single-minded.”
“Cheup.”

Thump-

Lee Ho-yeon quickly snapped his fingers. At the same time, the black liquid scattered in the air disappeared neatly.
She has to protect Scarlett’s dignity by abandoning her guild for her love.

“Please don’t talk about that, Miss Irene.”
“Why? I didn’t know that well because I’m in Korea, but it’s already spread among general guild members?”
“…”

Scarlett closed her eyes tightly.
Guildmaster Isaac.
It was definitely a good memory when we parted, but I will kill you when we meet again.

“Anyway… What you need is a reinvestigation of the Black Pillar. I’ll help you with that much. But to get the cooperation of the entire Iris Guild, you’ll need the guild leader’s permission.”
“Yes. I think so.”
“But the guild leader puts the interests of the Iris guild first. I don’t know what will happen.”
“It’s okay. Irene can help you.”
“… I will only move in the direction that benefits the Iris Guild.”

Irene licked her lips as she brought out his words.
She herself intended to cooperate with Lee Ho-yeon as much as possible.
It would be the same for Alice.
Like Scarlett said, if it were Lee Ho-yeon, she would be able to ‘bake and boil’ Alice.

In fact, if those two help Lee Ho-yeon, the game is over at that moment.
Considering her father’s daughter’s foolish temperament, it would be easy to borrow the power of the guild.
If her two daughters, who don’t get sick even if they put it in her eyes, ask for it, she’ll give it right away.

“It’s okay. I’m really going to convince you. Oh, I have something to test at the training ground. Are you still at the training ground with those hells?”
“Chiron and Albedo will be at the training ground.”
“I have to meet them too, so let’s go together.”
“Yes. But before that, I need to calm down the guild members. There may be strange rumors spreading about you, so I’ll make sure to keep my mouth shut.”
“I’ll take care of that, so you two can take care of it. We still have to put an end to the rumors spreading inside the guild.”

Scarlett got up from her seat, bowed her head slightly, and slipped outside of her.
Small ‘That bastard.’ It sounded like the same thing.
Lee Ho-yeon smiled and poured the remaining coffee into her mouth.

“We are going too. Mr. Irene.”

That buck that buck

Lee Ho-yeon followed Irene to the Iris Guild’s training ground.
There was no change in her place from the last time she came, but since she often met Iris guild members, following Irene was comfortable in many ways.

“The fact that the Iris Guild has completed their investigation means that there are places where they have already bought information.
“The information that the emperor of the night personally investigated is quite valuable.”
“Because it was such a big deal. There are quite a few places that bought information even after the official announcement that it was safe.”
“The Iris Guild sold wrong information… But it’s going to be okay so far. The incident hasn’t happened yet, so you can just say that the Iris Guild found out new information. Irene-san did it.”

Seeing Lee Ho-yeon seriously contemplating how to deal with her after her death, Irene laughed incredulously.
Seeing that Lee Ho-yeon, a genius wizard, is so confident, it seems that there is a certain place to guess.

“You seem really confident?
“Why do you do that when you know it’s not meant like that. Guild leader, no, my father isn’t better at magic than I am.”

No matter how strong Lee Ho-yeon has become, he is not strong enough to guarantee an easy victory when fighting the Emperor of the Night.
It is not a matter of intelligence or strength in the first place.
Unless the genes themselves are different, like Im Sol, no one except Lee Ho-yeon notices the deviation.

“… Father?”

Lee Ho-yeon looked at Irene, who slightly frowned, and blinked at her eyes.
Why father?

“Isn’t your father more friendly than your father-in-law?”

The head of the Victoria Academy looks like a father-in-law, but Isaac, the head of the Iris Guild, seems like a better title than father.
Seemingly, you’re still young.

“That’s not the problem… Well, yeah. That’s not what’s important now.”

It’s not even a day or two that that kid pushes me like that.
Lee Ho-yeon’s insignificant title gives me a strange feeling.
It was also because he hadn’t seen Alice.
Irene shook her head and then said something else of her own.

“Apart from whether or not your opinion is correct… Why are you taking the lead in such a global catastrophe? That should be done by the Hunter Association.”
“It can’t be if the world collapses. There’s Irene and Alice.”
“Hmm… Is that really the end? Is there any other purpose?”

The result of watching a person named Lee Ho-yeon.
She’s not such a bad guy (except for the girl issue), but she’s not so nice either.
Why did a person who moves moderately for himself suddenly change like this?
Lee Ho-yeon smiled at Irene, who sent her doubting eyes.

“You may not know it, Irene, but I have always worked for world peace.”
“I didn’t know your personality was like that. Could it be because of the curse?”
“…Well.”

How do you respond when you suddenly come in like that?
Lee Ho-yeon blurted out the end of her words, as she didn’t know how to respond.
When Irene didn’t answer from Lee Ho-yeon, she seemed to lose interest in her and quietly hurried her steps.

‘Sorry.’

An interesting conversation was suddenly cut off. A person with a good reaction like Irene is fun.
I’m thinking of telling Irene and Elise about the fake dungeon, but it’s not easy to get the timing right.

“Come to think of it, what is the reason for not being able to contact Elise and Irene?”

She almost forgot her story about the black pillar.
This is an incredibly important thing.

“Ellis, she’s currently taking the heir class. She’s been collecting information about the recent Lucifer Academy raid. She’s going around with the guild master, so she’s learning something like know-how?”
“Can I just tell you that?”
“Wouldn’t it be okay if it were you?”

She already calls the guildmaster her father, and has not been denied by her two daughters.
It’s a fact you’ll all know someday.

“Wow. This is a bit touching. Is that why you haven’t been able to contact Irene?”
“…Can you say that? All the guild members are investigating Lucifer’s attack.”

Irene was on vacation, but she didn’t want to explain, so she brushed it off.
Concerned about whether to reply to Lee Ho-yeon or not, it wasn’t her pride.

“But do you have any information about Lucifer? The most important Lucifer is already dead.”
“There are many things. There is no sign of the academy’s security being breached. It would have taken someone’s help to install that much of a magic circle. That’s the most important information… Information about that enormous power. And the connection with the pandemic. …”
“…”

Irene talked about it over and over again, but she didn’t listen.
For some reason, I feel like the most important investigation is me.

“Right. You had Lucifer’s body, right? Could you give me the right to investigate that?”
“Ah, yes. That’s about it…”

Lee Ho-yeon thought while watching Irene’s back as she led the way.

‘I’ll have to tell Irene right away when the business is over.’

After meeting Chiron and Albedo in the training room, she should make time right away.
There doesn’t seem to be time to slowly find the timing.
Especially since Alice must still be going through her hardships to find information about her.

“Thank you. Let’s go. The training room is over.”

Thud-
Taang-!

I can feel the slight magic power that resonates around me.
The familiar magic of hell felt in between.
It was Chiron’s.

“I see inside. Let’s go in.”
“Yep.”

Jiing-

The inside of the training room following Irene was noisy.

“An obvious attack! Do you think I’ll be a match for Wild Gladiator this way! Human!”
“Ugh, whoops!”

As soon as I entered the training room, I saw Chiron waving a huge spear and dealing with guild members.
It’s been a while too.
It was a very scary image at first, but it got weirder as it went on, and at the end it completely went crazy.
Looking at her condition, it seems that her head has not yet returned.

“Team 1! What are you doing here during vacation?”
“I’m here for a while, so don’t worry about it.”
“Huh? Ohh. Isn’t it Lee Ho-yeon! Long time no see! Wild Gladiator, Keiron. Is my friend Irene too!”
“Yes. Wild Gladiator.”

As soon as you meet him, he starts fucking.
It was clear that the way he spoke was concerned with making people angry.

“If Lee Ho-yeon came, did Killer Queen come with you?”
“Hmm, hmm?!”

Albedo, who was moving magic with the guild members in the corner, could be seen startled.
I see you’ve been watching

“Don’t worry, Liliana isn’t here. I’m here to see you two today.”
“Isn’t everyone in a hurry for training? I’ll take them.”
“Yep! That’s fine!”
“What’s going on. Human?”
“Even with Wild Gladiator, it’s not enough, even a Strange nightmare…”
“Yes, yes. This way.”

Irene naturally led the centaur and incubus into the training room.
You must have known how to manage those oddballs.
I have to go soon

“Thank you. I’ll be gone for a while.”

Lee Ho-yeon bowed her head to the Iris guild members and quickly followed them.
