Episode 108
“Hey, that’s crazy. I’m really crazy… .”
Dorian trembled as he looked at the net in the bathroom of the auction house.
‘Thinking about robbing the black market, is it as big as a continent?’
How could he have such crazy thoughts, he wanted to rip Raon’s head off.
‘You really don’t have it?’
I wanted to think that no matter how Raon was, he would not rob a real black market.
okay. I wanted to think that way. But this guy does it.
Raon never broke his word. Did you not kill the Green Demon, survive from the Maniac, and beat up Raiden?
“Whew… .”
After taking a deep, long sigh as if smoking a cigarette, the door opened and Raon, dressed in a black nightgown, appeared.
‘Ugh! I’m really wearing it.’
He wore the black robe that was in his pocket, and a mask draped over his head. He nodded his head as if satisfied.
“This is fine. I won’t hear it.”
“No, my lord. please… Well?”
Dorian tilted his head.
‘what?’
Raon’s height has grown recently, so I’m at eye level with him these days, but it seems that his height has decreased a lot now. His height was noticeably reduced to around the mid-160s.
“Hey, that master? Tall… .”
“I reduced it a bit. Because you can’t catch it.”
“Oh, I see. Yes?”
That’s right, you bastard!
Even the advanced Sword Experts, or Masters, can’t reduce or increase their height at will. It seems that the person itself has changed from when he was in the family.
“Well, from whom did you learn that?”
“Instructor Limer.”
“ah… .”
Since Limer is such an unusual elf, I thought that could be the case.
“I just looked at the surveillance network, and I think it might work.”
Raon stretched and smiled. It was as cold as a devil’s smile.
“Hey over there, master. that butterfly They say it’s rare, but it’s not like it doesn’t exist, but getting it later… .”
“Unfortunately, we don’t have much time. I don’t come here often.”
Raon smiled softly, but sparks were rising from his eyes.
“I was blatantly ignored and ridiculed there, and there is no need to put up with it.”
“Uh… .”
Dorian scratched the back of his head. Actually, that statement is correct. Because that woman has been openly arguing and obstructing the auction.
“Do you know who the fox mask is?”
“Yes. So I want to dry more. To be honest, I want to tie up your limbs!”
“who?”
“I am Princess Jaina of the Balkar Kingdom. She has excellent magical talents, but she has an excellent eye for equipment, so she is said to be the daughter of the current king.”
“It was Balkar.”
Raon’s smile widened at the words that she was the princess of Balkar. It was like an animal hunting for food.
“Then the things that the princess bought will go to the VIP room?”
“Yes? Perhaps it is?”
The auction house offers luxurious rooms to VIPs who spend a lot of money, and the winning auction items are delivered to the room. Of course, if you were a Balkar princess, you would have a private room.
“Then it won’t be a black market. You’re beating that princess. When an item enters the room, ownership passes.”
“Yes? uh, does that happen? I don’t quite understand… .”
“I was a little worried, but I can go. I’m waiting for you.”
“Eh? young master!”
Raon smiled softly and disappeared from the bathroom. I was watching it right in front of my eyes, but it was literally gone.
“Ah, aren’t princesses more dangerous than the black market? Am I crazy?”
Dorian shook his head as he looked at the empty bathroom.
* * *
Each of the best assassins’ footwork has its own characteristics.
East Assassin Kazan is fast, West Assassin Doruma is soft, and North Assassin Fatou is sharp.
And Raon, the assassin from the south, was secretive.
Due to the characteristic of Muyeongbo, which he has learned, his presence and presence are reduced to the maximum, like the shadow of a night when the moon does not rise, so that even the masters could not properly grasp the movement.
After a long time, Raon was able to reach the 4th floor of the auction house where the VIP room was without anyone’s attention by operating the Muyeongbo with all power.
‘At such times, Moo Youngbo is the best.’
Muyeongbo is a secret footstep that neither the wind nor the shadows follow. Although the speed was slow, there was no such thing as a foot technique to hide the presence and appearance.
By reducing the height and size with this control, the people who came to the auction and the guards protecting the VIP floor just passed by without feeling their presence.
– That’s weird. If you had a normal personality, you wouldn’t do such crazy things. Did you really go out of your mind when you left home?
As Lars said, it is crazy to openly argue, to be ignored, and to go stealing the princess’s things because the auction was interrupted. Especially when you think about your personality.
However, Raon wasn’t excited at all. Rather, it is in a state of cold sinking like the glacier of the North Sea.
With such a cold mind, the reason for moving like an unreasonable force was very simple.
‘Because I’ve been there.’
I had come here in a previous life and assassinated a high-ranking noble in the VIP room. Of course, because it was disguised as a natural death, it was not discovered that he had stepped forward.
Because of the memories of that time, I was able to have confidence in my success.
‘Now is the perfect time to work.’
Soon, the item she won the bid for will come up. If you enter the VIP room with that item, you can steal a black butterfly to the level of lying down and eating rice cakes.
whoops.
I stood at the end of the lobby, controlling my breathing.
‘Actually, it’s possible because it’s here too.’
As the black market goes underground, the level of auction items, expenses, and alertness rises exponentially. To be honest, I would have given up if it had been on the second basement floor.
wii ing.
After a while, the auction house staff pushed the cart and went up to the fourth floor. The cart was covered with a thick cloth, one of which had the silhouette of a cage.
‘This is it.’
The princess’s auction items were certain.
As they pushed the cart and tried to follow the moving staff, the sound of the magic boundary turning was heard as thin as a squirrel’s cry.
After locating the location by sound, he carefully pierced the boundary that spread like a spider’s web.
‘Actually, this is not a threat.’
What is really dangerous is not the boundary made of mana threads, but the traps and sensors that detect mana.
Traps and sensors made of advanced mana stones detect unregistered human mana.

No matter how well a human accumulates mana, he cannot have the same level of sincerity as the mana found in advanced mana stones.
‘Of course not me.’
His aura, which he built with a cartoonist and purified with a ring of fire, is purer than high-grade mana stones, although not even natural mana.
oh oh oh!
While pulling the cartoon ball very thinly, it passed the trap and sensor made of mana stones.
As expected, the sensors and traps thought they were natural mana and didn’t work.
Raon broke through all the traps and sensors and followed right behind the auctioneer.
He stopped in room 404 and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened, and a guard standing next to the princess came out.
“The VIP has brought what you bought.”
“Well.”
The guard nodded, and the staff pushed the cart inside.
‘now!’
When the eyes of the staff and the guards turned inward, Raon used the Muyeongbo as a polarity and dug into the room.
There were two other guards inside, but no one noticed him.
“A total of 12 items were awarded. Let’s check it out.”
The staff presented the documents and took out the items in the cart one after the other.
Twelve items, including a black butterfly, were scattered on the floor, and the guard nodded and signed the paperwork.
‘Okay.’

Now, the owner of that thing is not the black market, but the princess. Stealing is no problem now.
“To buy something like this for 50 gold coins.”
The Guard looked at the Black Butterfly and made a pathetic expression.
“Originally, if you like it, don’t you wear it to the end? Well, this time it was revenge.”
“Before, I had preempted some things, and I even ruined a family. Because it’s boring.”
“If he doesn’t turn over the ring, will his face be smashed into a rock and die?”
“I will do that. Rub it like laundry.”
The guards sitting at the table giggled.
‘It’s the same guys.’
I was a little hesitant because I thought that the guards might be in trouble after stealing the Black Butterfly, but they are no different. The remorse of conscience was gone.
“Let’s continue with the cards. Am I winning?”
“Yesterday he was really good. Shall I ask you the secret to kidnapping?”
“OK. If you ask me while buried, I’ll give you a good answer.”
The guards piled up auction items next to the table, giggled and started playing poker.
‘Ttt.’
Raon clicked his tongue.
‘I’m too close.’
If it sticks like that, it’s hard to get other things out.
If you fight, you can win, but there is a risk of being caught by the black market guards waiting on the 4th floor.
‘I can’t help it. I’ll take only Black Butterfly.’
Raon lowered his posture like a frog and looked at the cage containing the black butterfly.
Black butterflies die quickly in an enclosed space, so keep them in a cage like that.
So, why is the Black Butterfly only attached to mana stones, even though it is in an easily escaped cage?
The answer is simple. To eat the high-purity mana attached to the mana stone.
In other words, if you make the mana feel better than the mana of the mana stone, the butterfly will fly through the cage by itself.
oh oh oh
Raon purifies the Auror by using the Ring of Fire while maintaining the silent message. He cut the heartfelt Auror thinly like a thread and spilled it on the Black Butterfly.
The black butterfly, which was clinging to the mana stone and sucking mana, flinched, flapped its wings and descended from the cage.
‘As expected.’
Good thing I lowered my posture. If it had been called while standing, the guards would have noticed the flapping of the Black Butterfly’s wings.
woo woo woo.
I inhaled slowly. The Black Butterfly has escaped its cage, but it is not yet time to be vigilant. Because he was passing under the table with the guards’ legs.
If the Black Butterfly’s wings rub against the guards’ legs, it’s all over.
Raon seduced Black Butterfly by gently controlling Auror like a baby.
From right to left, from bottom to top. The flapping of the wings of the Black Butterfly made it impossible to even shake the guards’ clothes.
hoo.
The black butterfly, which flew like a blade of grass, went on a short but long journey and landed in Raon’s hand.
‘Good job.’
I put the black butterfly in my inner pocket and stood up slowly. The guards were immersed in the card without knowing anything.
“Oh, I lost again!”
“You’ve lost six in a row with this. Send all your paychecks this month to me.”
“Oh, damn it! what happens… uh?”
The guard who was throwing the card saw the cage where the black butterfly was and his eyes widened.
“Shit, f*ck it! no! No!”
“What?”
“The butterfly is gone!”
Guard looked around the cage and shook his chin.
“Back, look! Follow them all! If it disappears, it will be really ruined!”
The guards overturned not only the auction items, but also beds, chairs, and all furniture, opened the windows, and eventually opened the door.
At that moment, Raon, who was close to the wall, smiled.
‘Now I can move.’
He picked up five more auction items from the messy floor and slipped through the open door.
– That’s crazy. You weren’t a scammer, you were a thief! What kind of life were you living before the main king came!
‘nastily.’
Raon smiled coldly and bitterly.
‘I lived a very dirty life.’
* * *
Raon went to the bathroom again, changed clothes, and returned to the auction house after returning the body to its original size.
Perhaps because the last auction was in progress, the voice of the host was louder than ever.
“Ugh, my heart is tickling… .”
Dorian was scratching his heart and shoulders with trembling hands.
“That’s why I usually eat less snacks.”
Raon clicked his tongue.
“under… .”
Dorian opened his mouth as if it was absurd. It’s all because of you, but you look like you’re talking nonsense.
“There you go, master.”
He sighed and leaned aside so that no one could hear him.
“You really didn’t hear it, did you?”
“okay.”
“After all, I’m glad. Giving up halfway, actually stealing stuff from the black market is crazy… .”
“You didn’t give up?”
“Yeah?”
His voice suddenly grew louder. He seemed to think he had given up on Black Butterfly because he came back so quickly.
“Stand, please… .”
“Here it is.”
“Shut up!”
When he tapped his inner pocket, Dorian’s eyes went round and round. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a human eye move like that.
“Uh… .”
As Dorian tried to step back, a shadow fell behind him. I turned around and saw a woman in a fox mask standing there.
“You must be in trouble.”
There was a deep laugh in her voice. It was so blatant that I wanted to express it as a snout rather than a mouth.
“So, you have to look at your opponent. What should I do with a bastard who has no penny and only has his pride?”
Even though he was wearing a mask, his expression was predictable.
“The world doesn’t go its own way. If you understand the subject well, you can live a long time.”
He was making clumsy threats without knowing the situation, so only snoring came out.
“I’ll give you one last chance. If you know who I am, hand over that ring. It’s not intimidating, but if you refuse, life will be difficult. I never missed anything I was aiming for.”
She spread her palms. It looked as if he couldn’t give it to your subject.
“It’s not a threat, it’s a threat. And are you deaf? Because I don’t like it.”
Raon waved his hand as if chasing a fly.
“What, what? What did you just say?”
“Go through your ears.”
“you you!”
“Don’t bother and go.”
“profit!”
The mask trembled. The princess could not contain her anger, so she began to raise her mana.
“I don’t listen to you because you say it well. Was it that butterfly you were aiming for? Would you like me to buy the people who come out at auctions or in stores so I can’t even see them?”
It didn’t matter. because I already saved it.
“Or will you not see the rising sun tomorrow at all? A trash mercenary like you can be erased with just one finger. who i am… .”
It was when the woman snorted and was about to take off the mask.
“Hey, girl over there!”
The guard he saw in the VIP room approached her with a serious face.
“Now, I have something to tell you. just now… .”
“What? Whoa, what kind of bullshit is that!”
Hearing the guard’s whisper, the woman’s expression hardened to the point of being cruel.
“Do you see any trouble?”
Raon smiled as he felt the presence of the Black Butterfly in his inner pocket.
