Episode 95
A night full of darkness.
Somewhere in the northeastern tip of the Revyus continent, in the domain of the Everfield family.
An ordinary merchant’s wagon stopped in the middle of a trade route.
It was too late, so they seemed to be setting up camp nearby.
But no matter how long we waited, no one got off the carriage.
multiple. multiple.
Soon, a light came on on the other side of the road, and a luxurious carriage approached.
The two groups, facing each other in the middle of the trade route, stopped talking for a while.
It was as if he was looking around.
“It’s quite late. Did you bring the goods already?”
A middle-aged man who got off a luxury carriage spoke to the grim-looking coachman.
But the answer came out of the crack of the open window.
rattle!
“Heh! Of course. Is there any reason to procrastinate on something like this?”
“Hmm… the commission fee is expensive. Let’s see.”
“Wait.”
The person who got off the trading wagon held out a long object wrapped in black cloth.
After a while, when the packaging was removed, a staff adorned with all sorts of jewels appeared.
“finally…….”
The middle-aged man, wearing a hooded robe, stroked a colorful cane with eyes full of joy.
This object was Grand Magia, the god of the Tower.
Then the young man who handed over the staff said with a fishy smile.
“Please pay the price as promised. If it’s Everfilt, I believe there will be no dissonance.”
“Of course. But… I think it’s against the rules to mention the subject of the request here.”
“Ah, I’m sorry. It’s such a big deal, I didn’t know.”
“Please be careful.”
“By the way, how would you like to pay?”
“Let’s do it like last time. I’ll leave a wagon near the border. Retrieve it and go back.”
“It’s good.”
The young man nodded and immediately jumped into the trading wagon.
Then the two groups turned and each disappeared into the darkness.
Members of Everfield in a luxury carriage were intent on examining the Grand Magia.
As it is a divine object of the tower, it must have built-in great functions.
It was an object sufficient to arouse the wizard’s curiosity.
However, a fairly young man with curly brown hair tilted his head and said.
“It’s a little more ordinary than expected, isn’t it?”
I examined it carefully, but the Grand Magia seemed like a normal magic item.
There was no feeling so great that it was called a god.
It was gorgeous on the outside, but that was all.
“It’s what the higher up ordered, so we just have to do it.”
“That’s natural. I’m just curious. Why do people in high positions collect things like this?”
At the curly-haired question, the middle-aged man touched his chin and hardened his expression.
“You’re still young, so you don’t know.”
“Yes?”
“The higher you become, the more you focus on collectibles like this. An example is Governor Felix of Aberdeen.”
“Oh, is that him? I think you’ll understand when you say that. It’s not my taste.”
“Preferences always change. You flirt with women with full bodies every day, don’t you?”
“No, who is it?”
“Whoops! I guessed it. Anyway, I know your taste well.”
“Ah, I got hit…”
The middle-aged man smiled sinisterly and picked up the Grand Magia.
Then, carefully put it in a heavy-looking metal case.
Before long, Everfield’s luxurious carriage started running towards the north where the home was located.
Without knowing what they are carrying.

I had to sweat all day trying to explain the destruction of the greenhouse.
As befits the daughter of a generous duke, she did not charge for repairs.
I was just sad that the flowers were scattered.
‘Because of this, I’m just trash. Did you know that such a result would come out?’
The Dancheon pole-pale, which was deployed as a test, demonstrated tremendous power.
Actually, it wasn’t even that strong.
This all happened because the herbivore was complete.
‘This is one step further.’
I thought it would end just by hiding the presence, but even the power of herbivores increased significantly.
It was no exaggeration to say that now he stood shoulder to shoulder with most of Landsvalger’s elders.
Of course, that’s just my opinion, I don’t know how it actually is.
“By the way, what about the collapsed greenhouse?”
I couldn’t ask for repairs right away.
However, the compensation was something else that could be substituted.
What if, say, finding out who was behind the assassination of Adele Richter?
It was probably a good enough price.
“I’ll go for a bit.”
“Where are you going? If you’re going to see the city, go with me. There’s quite a lot to see here.”
As I was about to leave the front door, Adele, who was reading in the garden, followed me.
But I flicked my fingers left and right to express my refusal.
“Sorry, but I guess I’ll have to turn down the date.”
“What are you saying! To stay at the villa is because moths are sore.”
“I’m sorry for interrupting you, but I’m not going to play. I have something to investigate.”
“Investigation?”
“I’ll tell you later.”
I left the villa, leaving behind a tilted Adele Richter.
‘Going to the Eastern Branch… … . It’s not a very good choice.’
I’m going to destroy the Arkanus Guild for personal reasons, but I couldn’t work as an assassin.
Of course, the status of Ray Carter, the son of a trading merchant, was also unacceptable.
So, there are roughly two options left.
One was Ray, the treasure hunter, and the other was Keros, the slayer of Daysol.
‘Anyway, a psychopath killer would be better for a rough action.’
Dduduk! Dudududuuk!
After performing the seven-fold magic trick in a gloomy alleyway, I transformed into a man with gray hair.
Empty eyes with no emotion at the scar across the bridge of the nose.
There was a wild atmosphere like a jackal roaming the wilderness.
“Keuuu! As expected, I kill one of my acting skills… Keuheum! I have to be immersed. I must be immersed.”
I kept my mouth shut and looked around with bleak eyes.
Immediately, a slayer burst forth with the energy of death.
Putting on dark brown leather armor and a black cloak, it became the perfect Keros.
In that state, I wandered around, choosing only the dark alleys.
“What is this bastard? He gives a good impression. Where did he come from?”
“Hey, do you think you’re doing something here and walk around with a face like that? Don’t you make a pretty face?”
Then, the gangsters of the lower classes of the back alley came to fight.
They seemed to think that they were just intimidating without having any skills like they do.
‘But what about this? I’m real.’
When I turned my gaze like a machine, the two bullies who had spat out harsh words flinched.
They created a sense of incongruity with crude tattoos, piercings, and black blades.
However, it was not at the level of secret to Deisol’s slayer, Keros.
I made eye contact with them and walked slowly.
Then the two archers hesitantly backed away and put their backs against the wall.
It’s been pushed by the momentum.
“Where do you belong?”
“What?”
One guy answered my question with a puzzled expression.
Because I never thought I would ask such a question.
But they had no choice but to answer very faithfully.
Tsutsutsutsu! Kwajik!
Because the sword imbued with an aura penetrated the wall and was more than halfway through.
That too, by brushing his own ear lobe.
“Kwyiyi…”
The boy let out a strange moan and opened his eyes.
You probably haven’t felt so much fear in recent years.
It must have felt like being pulled up to the guillotine.
It was then.
Tadadat!
Wasn’t the other guy standing next to him turning and running away?
‘Do something insignificant.’
With a smile on my face, I swung the dagger at my waist.
It wasn’t a hoeryyeonbido, it was just a throwing technique that a mercenary could use.
Of course, that was enough.
puck!
“Keah!”
When the blade was stabbed in the calf, the escaped fell to the floor with a scream.
Even so, I didn’t take my eyes off the guy who was trembling and clinging to the wall.
It blocked the escape without even looking.
Then Yangachi, whose ear lobe had been cut off, shook even more violently.
I spoke to him in a voice devoid of emotion.
“belong.”
“Aww!”
In the end, he succumbed before me.
While soaking his pants in yellow liquid.
‘No, I didn’t mean to go this far?’
It was a moment when I felt a little sorry.

The two guys who were arguing on the street were nothing more than real back alley thugs.
They robbed travelers who visited the Marquess of Pennant, and kidnapped children to punish them.
It was just a petty criminal, but it still had the advantage of being quite quick in the underworld around here.
It was because they were able to live thin and long because they ate little things.
‘There’s no Arcanus, but there are better ones in there?’
There was no way the assassination guild operating near Troven would have expanded its influence to this place.
However, in the Marquis of Pennant, there was an organization that had a close relationship with me when I was Keros.
It was the continent’s three major information guilds, Valent.
‘No, but what the hell was the eastern branch doing?’
Another intelligence guild is coming near the branch of the Landsvalger Assassins.
I don’t know if it’s a discrete, but did you just let it go and see Vaillant expand this much?
I guess I’ll have to check with Dusk when I get back.
Of course, get everything you want before that.
Charleuk!
“A glass of Belle’s tears.”
“…”
As I spoke while spraying 15 geld on the bar, the bartender’s face slightly distorted.

Judging by the reaction, it seemed like he already knew who I was.
‘Oh my. Then the conversation speeds up.’
I don’t know who was in the Pennant branch, but I couldn’t have known the slayer of Day Sol.
Thanks to that, I didn’t quite deal with the disclets who were a thorn in my eye.
Moreover, since the work was so shocking, it must have been imprinted in my head.
“Go in there.”
I walked in the direction the bartender pointed.
As I walked through the black curtain, a staircase leading down to the basement appeared.
‘They really like classic things.’
I smiled inwardly and went into the heart of the Valent Guild without hesitation.
He smiled inwardly at the thought of robbing the branch.
“This way.”
The agent waiting in front led me through the maze-like underground passage.
Seeing that it was made better than I thought, it seemed that it had not entered the empire clumsily.
Originally, the Valent Guild was active based in the 4th division autonomous district.
chuck!
“Go in.”
At the end of the passage was a thick wooden door.
As if the guidance had ended, the agent suddenly disappeared using another passage.
I lightly turned the doorknob.
rattle!
But beyond the door, a completely different scene unfolded than I expected.
