Guild Boss's Ambition

I suddenly found myself that I seem to be easily satisfied?

No, no, no! This idea is wrong! Being able to work for Master Bai Ye is the honor of my life!

That's right! The reason why I am where I am today is all because of Lady Bai Ye's great wisdom!

Lord Bai Ye can make as many stupid dogs as I want, right?

I was wary of my inner arrogance and slowly stepped into the cemetery. The cemetery was filled with all kinds of smells, not only the smell of the bad woman, but also the smell of stray dogs and many intelligent humans.

"Why are there so many people coming to the cemetery on a rainy day like this?"

"Is there a funeral?"

I yawned, straightened my tail, and then lazily concentrated on tracking the scent of the bad woman, slowly walking deeper into the cemetery. Along the way, I met many pedestrians. Maybe it was my illusion, but I always felt that the attire of these pedestrians seemed to be a little bit wrong. In addition to wearing various rain gears, they all wore masks and other things.

I originally thought that there was a funeral procession tonight, but now it seems that it is not the case. The relationships between pedestrians seem too distant. There are only two or three of them at most. Most of them are alone, and each of them is doing something different, some are sweeping the graves, some are smoking and daydreaming...

"How strange! He came to a rainy cemetery to smoke in the middle of the night. Is this male sapien having a chuunibyou attack?"

"Hmm? Wait, where's that bitch's scent? Didn't it get lost? Ahh, I found it!"

I almost lost my target because of distraction, so I immediately pulled myself together. If I couldn't find that bitch tonight and get rid of her secretly, I don't know how many stupid compatriots would be poisoned in the future. By the way, that bitch came to the cemetery so late, could it be that she wanted to attack the overlords of the cemetery?

"I hope those stupid dogs won't pounce on the food as soon as they see it..."

"Well... actually I have no right to criticize other dogs."

Realizing that I was also a stupid dog, I drooped my tail dejectedly, but immediately my spine straightened because of the unpleasant cold feeling of the tail touching the mud and water. At this time, I had left the tombstone area and went to the lush woods area. On rainy days like now, stray dogs usually slipped under big trees to avoid the rain.

"This is so suspicious. I guess I need to run faster?"

Although I really want to catch up with that bad woman as soon as possible, I am only the size of a Shiba Inu and can only maintain a mobility slightly faster than that of an ordinary stray dog. Lord Bai Ye has always not wanted me to be high-profile. In front of the residents of Mopolis City, I am just a stitched dog with a rather strange appearance, not a beast that can easily tear people in two.

Soon, I followed the smell and saw the back of a woman.

The woman had two off-white ponytails and wore a pair of black-framed glasses on her nose. She was pretty, but definitely not as beautiful as Lord Bai Ye and Lord Lan Nong. However, with her harmless and hypocritical smile, she could easily make us, strangers, let down our guard and believe in her, a bad girl with bad intentions!

Around the woman, there were six or seven stray dogs wagging their tails and trying to please her cutely.

I almost bared my teeth and growled at them.

But as Lord Bai Ye's servant, I am aware that I must be decisively different from other stupid dogs.

I forced myself to suppress my anger, and just stood not far away, looking at her quietly.

She recognized me quickly, after all, the body given to me by the white night is so outstanding.

"You actually survived? Come to think of it, you are the transformed dog of the necromancer after all!"

The girl with glasses made a surprised but not too surprised sound. She looked at me with a very penetrating and calm gaze. And judging from what she just said, she should have already investigated the master-servant relationship between Lord Bai Ye and me, and it is very likely that she already knew my true identity one step ahead - but she still did not show the slightest fear.

She is not afraid of me.

So, I'm a little afraid of her.

I instantly released my true form and pounced on the girl with glasses to bite her.

……

……

30. Chi Mei (Small Spot)

(Small spot)

When I really bit that bad woman, she strangely showed a look of fear. She first whispered "impossible", and then let out a cry of pain as I bit her.

Having successfully bitten the target, I naturally did not let her go easily. I immediately used my extremely sharp claws to tear the bad woman under me into pieces. However, the strange thing was that after being turned into minced meat, the body of this bad woman actually emitted wisps of white smoke like boiling water, and disappeared from my sight like melting dry ice.

While I was still stunned, two figures suddenly rushed out from both sides of the woods -

"Hmm? Weird!"

"There's no smell, so why is there someone here?!"

I was so shocked that I instinctively waved my claws at one of the figures, but I unexpectedly met a master of a completely different level. Before I could see the other person clearly, a talisman was stuck on my forehead. The talisman suppressed the dark power in my body and forced me to return to the Shiba Inu form.

"That's really messed up—"

The person who spoke to and subdued me was a man with a messy hair. He was wearing a fur coat commonly used by travelers, a rain hat on his head, and a short knife hanging on his waist. He looked to be about thirty years old. Although I was quite dissatisfied with his behavior of subduing me, at first glance he did not look like a bastard who would do bad things to a dog.

"We can tell good guys from bad guys just by sniffing with our dog noses!"

"Although I was deceived by that bad woman last time, it was an accident and doesn't count! Yes! It doesn't count!"

I was subdued by unknown persons and watched helplessly as two people suddenly appeared and acted quickly. In addition to the man with green messy hair, there was also a bald uncle with a full beard. After the uncle appeared, the first thing he did was to keep sprinkling water at the location where the bad woman's message was, while at the same time he was muttering like a lunatic, feeling like a strange charlatan.

After the suspected charlatan finished his ritual, the tense atmosphere at the scene eased a little.

The charlatan uncle was the first to ask, "What's going on? This ominous creature."

The ominous thing that the charlatan uncle was referring to was none other than this dog. He stared at me with a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"If you have any objections, come and challenge me!"

I really want to say that, but judging from the few short scenes just now, I don't think I can beat him.

The situation was stronger than the dog, so I had to lie on the ground and continue pretending to be a dead dog.

The green chicken-cooped hair did not disappoint me. His words were full of friendliness: "Replying to Bishop Bartholomew, this little thing is the pet dog of a friend of mine. If anything happens to it, I'm afraid we will all be in trouble."

The bald charlatan named Bishop Barsalom asked, "Green Willow, your friend? What friend?"

"That man is called Bai Ye. He is an adventurer under the Stone House and a necromancer."

"You have a relationship with a necromancer? That's ridiculous!"

"Work requires it—work requires it—"

As a pet dog who knows how to read people's expressions, it only took me a few seconds to understand the hierarchical relationship between the two of them. Unfortunately, the good man Lvliu standing on my side seemed to be the subordinate of the bald charlatan. In other words, if there was a difference of opinion between them, the final decision would still fall on the side of the bald charlatan.

Uh...

Somehow, I suddenly felt a little mentally unbalanced.

It feels like my own child is being bullied by other children.

"Come on, Mr. Green Willow, flatter your superior more often, or you can replace your superior!"

I silently applied my own survival skills to the messy-haired guy in front of me, but he obviously didn't understand my deep and nourishing murmurs because he didn't understand the language. He just smiled bitterly and lowered his head, listening to the lecture from his boss.

"Since you exorcists are also members of the church, you must abide by the church's rules. Precisely because you are half-human, half-demon wandering in the gray area, you should stand firmer than anyone else! Green Willow, do you know? Those bastards in the Inquisition are watching you all the time! You have to be careful not to let them catch you!"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Mr. Green Willow agreed with a flattering smile, and suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Bishop Barsalom, the monster that was bitten to death by the dog just now is the demon we estimated earlier, but the reason why she secretly came to the forest area should be simply to poison these stray dogs, not the convener of this event."

Barthalom asked calmly, "Why did she poison the dogs?"

I secretly pricked up my ears.

Mr. Green Willow patted my head gently and explained softly, "Chimei are demons born from the evil spirits of mountains and swamps. They will attack travelers and feed on their fear and flesh. Chimei are naturally strong, but jackals, dogs and foxes are their natural enemies, so the modified dog was able to succeed in one strike just now."

"So...she poisoned dogs because she was afraid of them?"

Mr. Lvliu nodded, pointed at me and said, "The strength of the demon just now should be almost legendary, right? With her strength, ordinary stray dogs can't hurt her, but this modified dog is different. She has been greatly modified by Bai Ye. She is a beast with extremely high resistance to magic from flesh and blood to soul."

"Magic resistance? Even the legendary fear magic just now is immune to it?"

"Yes, it is even immune to legendary fear magic."

At this point, the good guy Green Willow and the bald charlatan both gave me strange looks. Even though I could understand that they admired my abilities, I just felt uncomfortable for some reason.

I rolled my eyes at both of them in annoyance.

After meeting my rolling eyes, the bald charlatan revealed an evil smile that shouldn't come from a clergyman: "I say, Mr. Green Willow, although it has a physique that is immune to magic, this immunity is not completely immune to fatigue, right? Otherwise, the light charm you pasted on its forehead will not be effective──"

"As long as we disguise the spell as a healing spell, it will be effective against it."

After hearing Lvliu's answer, the bald charlatan's expression became even more ferocious: "Then let's silence him?"

Silence... Silence?!

I'm just a pet dog who came for a walk. Why are you kidding me?

I stood up immediately in fear and quickly ran behind the good guy Lvliu, trying to seek his protection by acting cute.

Woof woof! (Don't kill me!)

However, the good person Lvliu, whom I had placed my hopes on, suddenly couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, Bishop Barthalom, you succeeded in scaring it."

"This beast is quite spiritual."

Barsalom raised his eyebrows, rubbed my head roughly, and changed his tone to a more serious one: "Okay, the woman who was originally thought to be the devil's accomplice is dead, so which direction should we investigate next? Have you thought about how the soul extraction ritual is carried out?"

"We haven't found it yet. And at this rate, we may not be able to find a solution before the ceremony begins. No, it's not that there is no solution. As long as we evacuate the monsters in the cemetery to other places in advance, the other party's plan will naturally fail."

"No! We won't be able to find the Saint Lady this way. We must let their ceremony start smoothly."

"But to be honest, even if we have invited four of the Nine Commandments, plus the elites of the Inquisition, with the power of Demon Lord Leia, even if we can stop the ritual, we will have to pay a huge price. The worst result may even lead to the advent of original sin and lust. By then, the city of Mopolis under our feet will be in great danger."

Although I don't quite understand, judging from the expressions of the bald charlatan and the nice guy, they must have a disagreement.

And their conversation also mentioned the Inquisition. According to Miss Lannon, it is a terrorist organization on the same level as the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. They will imprison people for various just reasons and then humanely destroy them.

If Mr. Nice Guy and the Inquisition are in cahoots, then aren't they the bad guys?

At this point, I wanted to run away, but before I could take a step, Barsalom had already stretched out his big hand and grabbed my back, holding me horizontally in his arms, and said to Lvliu nonchalantly: "No, the only one who has to pay the price this time is me who failed in my duty. If Leia really attacks the Saint, I will be responsible for dealing with him."

"Where did you come from here? Could it be this?"

Mr. Lvliu laughed silently for a moment, but then his expression changed drastically. He looked above my head with great solemnity. There, around the bald charlatan's neck was a cross. This style of cross is one of the most commonly used decorative patterns by intelligent humans, but what is unusual is that this cross gives people a special texture in its simplicity.

I stuck out my tongue and licked it out of curiosity──

"It's cold and tasteless."

As this thought came to my mind, the bald charlatan violently slammed my mouth shut. I could only hear him scolding me in a deep voice, "What an uneducated stupid dog! Do you think you can lick the blessing of the archangel casually?"

At the same time, Mr. Green Willow also shouted in surprise: "Don't be ridiculous! The Archangel's Blessing is a divine weapon that can only be used by the saints of all generations, right? Except for the Holy Demon Body, the normal human body has no way to withstand the power of the Archangel! Barsalom, don't try to do anything stupid, you won't even last a minute!"

Different from Mr. Green Willow's nervous look, the expression of the Light God Stick was quite calm.

He showed a silly, cunning smile -

"Idiot! I am not the premature ejaculator you describe me as!"

31. Mr. Garcia (White Night)

(white night)

It was a rainy night and the sky was overcast.

I should have been still dealing with the Heart Hunter case, but just when I made a breakthrough in this case, our stupid dog also ran into trouble, and the tracking magic programmed into it automatically sent me a distress signal.

Although it is a poor dog, Wulu and Lian'er seem to like it very much, so I had to take time out of my busy schedule to deal with this emergency. By the way, is this stupid dog's head filled with grass? In such a rainy day, it actually went to the cemetery in the southern city alone. Is it really not afraid of ghosts?

Ugh……

I really don't want to spend extra time taking care of that stupid dog...

How long will it take for it to learn not to cause trouble for its owner?

Sighing, I walked out of the stone house, hailed a carriage at the door, and headed straight towards the Martyrs' Cemetery. Although I had been complaining in my heart, I was somewhat curious about this incident. Probably the person who could trigger the alarm system should have at least platinum-level strength, and I also had the owner's name engraved on the little spot's tag.

"I'll go see who beat the dog without looking at the owner!"

It took me about thirty minutes to arrive at the Martyrs' Cemetery in South City. As soon as I arrived, I sensed all kinds of monster auras. Combining these auras with the discussion with Uru and the others this afternoon, the face of the green mess and his worried and distressed expression emerged in my mind.

How can I put it? Exorcist is the worst profession.

Their duty is to defeat monsters, which requires them to work 24 hours a day. In addition, they have to bear the additional risk of being attacked by monsters in retaliation. They even have to be strictly monitored because they know too many church secrets. On the surface, they seem to be as free as normal people, but in fact, they have no privacy at all.

Even with so many sacrifices, the rewards exorcists receive are pitifully small.

Well……

Actually, it’s not that little.
