'This one is going to require so the very brief description 'But it's cool'
As Merlin continued staring at the ability , he pondered about how useful it actually was
'It has the insane ability of being entirely undefendable, or so it seems But at the same time, I wouldn't be able to use it to parry Which means I'd have to undo years of trained reactions and train myself to not parry hatever hand held that blade'
As Merlin was having a long internal ue session, the thief lord seemed to have finished his conversation with the other thief, as nowtheir way down the tunnel The thief lord noticed Merlin and slowly approached, striking up conversation as he drew near
"Hey Merlin, I assume your quest ell?" The thief lord asked in a tone that seehtforward answer, Merlin pulled out Ghostsaw's blade, showing it off to the elf with a nod
"Oho, very nice" The elf ren "With that, we can finally conclude that the Ghostsaw has been vanquished, and by none other than the Ghost hi a little bit of fun with that strange coincidence, and he continued on for a few rew tired of it
"Poetry aside, what other tasks are there for me to do?" Merlin asked "Are there any other names on the list that you need dealt with?"
"Plenty, yes" The elf spoke "Like the body of a spider, Kilo stands as the head, while she has eight legs, or puppets, at her disposal"
"The first leg has been destroyed, the Ghostsaw, one of her favourite pawns" The elf muttered "No doubt the assassin involved with the death of several city leaders who opposed the coion being granted to them"
"Next is Madae" The elf continued, "Her job was to provide slave labour, or spies, to plant in noble houses"
"There are several others, but we're yet to find eneral activities in service to Kilo" The elf said, "But of those we do know We know of a noble who has been creating, selling and utilising a new drug within the city, a highly addictive substance that has been found used on the children of nobles, usually lesser nobles but sos being used to blackmail noble families into subordination, with the life of their child at stake" The elf spoke while gritting his teeth "Truly despicable behaviour"
"And of the res, we can assuh rank within the teuard And fro three are very wealthy and seeh their collective wealth" The elf concluded
"So I need to kill a drug dealer, a high ranking priest, a high ranking soldier and three very wealthy individuals who could probably buy et that right?"
"Precisely" The elf retorted
"Alright, well I get why the high ranking soldier is involved I clearly sa scuo with those kids" Merlin said, "But how do you know the temple is involved?"
"It's sireat conviction of the Gods and Goddesses orshi+pped, and especially to Gaia, who oversaw our activities and sustained the land that we required to live"
"With our convictions holding true, those orshi+pped false Gods and ished to create temples in the honour of false Gods were shunned and prevented fro a deep breath before continuing
"So when one of their followers defects, only to start a new religion with said follower as the object of worshi+p, and nobody from the temple reacts, attempts to stop her, or so much as calls her a de in such a case is very out of place, and I suspect that one of the leaders of the temple has fallen under Kilo's spell"
"Now that you mention it, I did find it quite odd that the temple stripped you of your title, but now I know more it is even more suspicious I understand your suspicions now, they should have contested the new religion being formed at the very least" Merlin muttered
The two continued to converse for a while, with Merlin finding out that he must wait a week or so to see results And as the conversation was co to an end, he received another red notification
