How to become a Demon Lord: The Former Hero's Journey as a Demon Lord!

Chapter 248: The Guild Master - Barnabas.

Chapter 248: The Guild Master - Barnabas.

A lot of people didn't know it, but this guild master wasn't always a guild master. At some point in the past, he lived in the castle and he was one of the soldiers that was in charge of fighting for and protecting the former king of the kingdom. After the dragon wars ended and everything fell apart in the kingdom, all soldiers and servants left the castle because there was no need to protect an empty throne. This man was one of the very only people that didn't leave the castle. He stayed behind and took care of young Elias and Eliss until they were teenagers and then he finally had to leave as well.

Elias and Elias were very young when the dragon wars happened, and so, many people in the kingdom didn't know about them. The people in the kingdom only knew about Eliss now because she is the one that stayed back to continue ruling, but Elias left too early for them to even know what he really looked like. That is why the people in the town all thought that he was an outsider. They just didn't recognize him. But the old man could never forget Elias' face.

[My king, I see that you finally returned. I didn't think I would live long enough to see it.]

The entire room was shocked by what the man said! The adventurers in the room had no idea who Elias was since most of them never saw Elias before Elias left Volcanica! But once the guild master called Elias king, they all knew that Elias was the son of the former king!

Elias sighed silently and he nodded to the man before speaking.Updated from

[Hello, Barnabas. It's been a long time since I last saw you. I hoped you were doing well, and I'm glad to see that you are,]

Barnabas smiled a little before telling Elias and his group to follow him to his office. They needed to talk. Barnabas told the receptionist that he is not to be disturbed before he took all of them to the back of the building.

The group entered an office at the back of the building and they went to seat on the various chairs in the room. Once they were all seated, Barnabas looked towards Elias expectantly and waited to hear what Elias has to say. Elias has been gone for a very long time now and Barnabas didn't think that he would see him anytime soon. But now that Elias was here, Barnabas wondered if he succeeded in what he wanted to do or not.

Elias went to retrieve a dragon so that they would stand a chance against the demon lord and Barnabas wanted to know if he succeeded or not.

But Elias ignored the expectant look on Barnabas' face and he just spoke up.

The old man nodded and told Elias that he had two rooms in the house that he was not using. The men could share one of the rooms and the women could use the other one. Elias turned around to look at Dray and a frown of irritation appeared on his face once he saw the boy. There is no way that Elias would be able to share a room with Dray without killing him in five seconds!

[You don't have any other room that we can use?]

Elias turned to Barnabas and asked this seriously. Barnabas was surprised by the question/. He didn't see anything wrong with the men and women sharing rooms.

[I'll share with you, Elias. The two of them can use the other one]

Ria suddenly spoke up from behind as she heard what they were talking about. She knew that Elias and Dray didn't have the best relationship and they would end up hurting each other if they even stayed in the same too together! Well, Elias would end up killing Dray. Dray couldn't really do much against Elias if Elias decides that he just wants him dead.

Elias turned to look at Ria and he thought about what she said for a moment! He didn't feel like sharing a room with Ria either. He wasn't in the mood to face her attempts at seduction right now. But he would rather spend a whole year with Ria than spend a single day with that idiot Dray, so he shrugged and accepted the arrangement.

At the side, Guvalich could only scoff as the two of them were making such stupid plans. They didn't even bother to ask her if she was okay staying with Dray. Givalich didn't have anything against Dray, except for the fact that he was a little naive. She didn't mind staying in the same room as him since he was her contractor. At least that way, she can make sure that he stays alive.

But Dray was lost as he tried to follow their conversation. Dray was so lost that he didn't even know when they started talking about one thing or when they finish talking about another one. They could have been selling Dray as a slave and Deay wouldn't even know it!

Dray could only fold his hands and look at all of them as they spoke in a language that he has never heard before. It took more than twenty minutes before Elias finally collected two keys from the old man and turned to hand them to Ria. He told Ria that he would be coming out soon since he needed to talk to Barnabas about some important things.

Ria frowned once she heard this but she didn't argue with Elias and she just took the keys and they started to leave the room. Dray just stood up and followed after them. Even if he didn't understand shit, he understood that they were going to be staying the night here.
