Chapter 433 00433 A frozen heart. (1/2)
At that moment, a faint stream of wind flowed into the air in front of my eyes. It looks like a resembling azirang, it quickly flows into the camp mixed into the air. It was fog, one of Sasha Felix's abilities.
The fog sweeps through the camp at a rapid rate, and soon it stops at the central tent I mentioned.
After a while, Sasha Felix suddenly appeared above the tent.
“With the exception of the popularity you feel below, you can't find anything strange. Clan Road.”
“… entering. ”
I immediately gave the order to enter. It was because I still had doubts in one corner of my mind, but I had a different idea. Maybe the vagrants just ran away.
'This isn't the only home... But it's a place where a hundred people would have lived.' Tr a ns l at ed b y Ｊp mt l.ｃoｍ
As I measured the size of the entire camp, I slowly walked inward. I couldn't find anything strange with the three checks, so I decided to start by checking out the central tent where I felt popular. Suddenly, a faint groan was seeping through the tent.
“Shall we walk?”
Upon arriving at the central tent, Sasha Felix grips the fabric and brings it back. Then the assassins also aimed at the weapons they pulled out earlier. I nodded once as I listened to the incantation.
“Walk.”
Flutter!
The tent opens in a heartbeat, accompanied by the sound of rough winds. At the same time, the sound of the thick blood coming out at once pierced my nose.
“Turn off…. Ugh….” T ran sla te d b y Ｊp ｍt l .co ｍ
“Ugh... Ugh...”
'Prisoners.'
Inside the tent were four users tied to the ceiling support column. They're all naked, all tied up, and they're moaning a little bit. As soon as I looked into the third eye, it was the Moon Night Clan members, as expected.
At that moment, I felt the Mac unfold. It's because expectations are coming true.
Jung-min looked closely at the prisoner and looked at me.
“Clan Road. These are….”
“Prisoners. Looks like the vagrants have escaped.” ”
“Yes? You ran away? ”
“I didn't take him or kill him, I just cut him properly. While we're rescuing and curing this prisoner, we're going to buy at least a little more time to escape. It's common practice.”
Jung-min stared at me with a strange face. However, I was confused as well. I thought they would come after only nine people, but I didn't think they would choose to run away.
I just scoured the trail for clues to chase, but I thought I'd better give up when I saw the scattered footprints.
After soothing his bitter mouth, I pushed the drawn sword back. And I spoke to the only priest in the kill squad.
“Let's untie him for now. And since the prisoners seem to be hurt a lot, please chant your healing spell. ”
“Yes, Clan Lord. I'll memorize it right now. ”
Tra nsl a ted by jp mtl .ｃo m Suddenly, Park Da-som approached the prisoners with a somewhat modest attitude.
Soon after confirming the prisoner relief aide and Bakdasom chanting the healing spell, I headed for a large rock near the valley. I completed my plan to crush the vagrants, so I was going to give myself a break first.
“Su-hyun. I looked at the trail and found footprints scattered everywhere. Could it be a trap to set up a siege? ”
Soon after that, I sat on a rock and took out the lotus candle, and a soft voice poured out. As you lift your head, you can see the high-pitched player squeezing his arms around you sharply.
I quietly shake my head and pull out the candle I had in my chest.
“I've already turned the magic detection to its maximum limit around the valley. But I don't feel the vagrancy. ”
“So am I. But it could be long gone and back, or it could be cloaked. I'll take a look around with my friend Seon Yoon. ”
That was reasonable. I gave my permission for a request for solidarity with the word ”beware,” and soon she took two men and disappeared into the woods like the wind.
“Whew…. ”
Soon, as I burned the candles quietly, I thought about why the vagrants ran away.
First of all, you met the scouts. Of course, the scouts killed them all, but it is highly likely that they were communicating at their strongholds during the battle. And the vagrant who found out we were jousting to kill the mercenaries would have chosen to flee.
'It seems…. I see the impact of that battle is still there.'
In fact, this is not the first time the vagrants have run away. To be precise, it's the third time.
I once assassinated 87 drifters, including one of the top mercenaries, along with nine assassins. Since that rumor spread all over the North, the vagrant has been making every effort to avoid a conflict with our clan.
'I don't want to keep doing this...'
I stared at all the assassins wandering around the camp, bouncing all the seaweed. T r an s l a te d by ｊp ｍ t l.c o ｍ
The Mercenary's Killing Jo is a hidden and concealed group of clan members. But that doesn't mean the merit of a mercenary. I made three conditions when selecting an assassin, and only those who met them.
The first, of course, is skill.
To win, the struggle against the vagabonds is a series of tensions, as there are no obstacles to their means and means. Users who were not as skilled as that were primarily excluded from the selection because they were like a load of luggage.
Second, no hesitation.
These conditions can be viewed as quite comprehensive, with little hesitation when killing and large performance against the vagrant (no matter what they do to the live vagrant.). However, it's okay to feel free to do anything just because the target is a vagrant.
And third, there must be a deep grudge against the vagrant.
This condition is sufficient as opposed to the preceding prerequisites. The deeper the grudge against the vagrant, the more they decided to meet the meaning of the meeting.
“Oh, Jung-min? ”
“Er... Hyssoo.”
It was then that I was so lost in thought that I heard the voices of two men and women in front of me. Waking up at the thought, I could see Won Hye-soo and Jung-min staggering toward each other. Maybe he came to me and met me at the same time.
“Go ahead. ”
“... Excuse me. ”
The two looked at each other for a moment. Soon after friendship stepped back, Won Hye-soo bowed his head and approached me.
“Clan Road. We've got an I.D. on the prisoners. Three men, one woman. It looks like you're a member of the Clan of Eden assassination ring in the Eastern City. ”
T r a ns l a te d b y ｊpm t l.c om “How are you doing? ”
“Everyone's life is fine, but the magical circuits are destroyed. And the woman... It looks very traumatic. ”
“… I see. As long as you're safe, I'll take you to the city. ”
The whole time I was talking, Won Hye-soo's face was blank. But in the end, I didn't miss her clenching her fists.
Soon, Won Hye-soo reached out his fist to me. Reflexively, when I reached out my hand, the crystals for communication fell over the palm of my hand, where the ice light was sensitive.
“And I got a call from the main branch. Customers say they have something urgent to report to Clan Lord. ”
“I understand.”
At the end, Won Hye-soo turns to face the prisoners. I looked at her walking slowly, and I stared at her. He looks at Won Hye-soo with quiet eyes.
After touching the crystal ball for a moment, she immediately took her eyes off the crystal and sighed deeply.
“… do you regret it? ”
“Yes? ”
“Does she regret working as an assassin?” ”
“Ah…. No, I respect the choice of the amniotic fluid. Even if there is a little problem.... ”
Jung-min smiled briefly and quietly said.
“I've had less to suffer on my own since I became an assassin. Perhaps if we continue to take revenge like this, we hope that someday we will be able to unwind. ”
Are you relieved? I immediately shook my head.
“I don't know. Friends. You'd better think about it. As I saw earlier with Scout Joe, she was delighted to dismantle the murderer. At this rate, it doesn't just loosen your mind, it can go in a much worse direction. ”
“... I'll see what I can do. ”
“If you only want your friendship, this is the last time I will remove her from the aid. ”
Jung-min nodded quietly. Even though he said it was okay, there was a dark shadow on his face that couldn't be hidden.
A year ago, Won Hye-soo was able to dramatically regain consciousness. I don't know what triggered it, but I suddenly came to my senses.
As a friend, it should have been something to rejoice about, but he didn't. After all the memories came back, Wonhae suffered for almost a few months. The child who was so pretty did not care and did not stop crying every day.
It was only when she realized that Jung-min was acting as an assassin that she woke up. Won Hye-soo came to me with vengeful eyes and asked me to let him act as an assassin as well.
At first I refused because I lacked skills.
However, the woman's revenge was not to be taken lightly. Since then, Wonhae has lit up her eyes and started training, and in a short period of time, she has rapidly increased user information.
By asking Won-Hye-soo to participate with her friends again, she became an assassin.
'Well…. It doesn't matter to me.'
In fact, as an executioner, Won Hye-soo's behavior was not particularly flawless, so I decided not to interfere anymore, but to leave it a matter of two.
Friend opened his mouth with something that reminds him of the taste of bitterness.
“Ah. Clan Lord. A message from the Shadow Queen. According to Clan Lord, there is no sign of the Wanderer's progress. However, just in case, God said He would come back in five minutes after visiting other regions. ”
“I understand.”
“And…. Shouldn't we be receiving communication? ”
“Haha. I was going to get it now. ”
Reporting comes first. I smiled lightly and listened to Won-Hye-soo's communication crystal. Hayeon's face was illuminated on the crystal whose light was dim.
“Ha-yeon? I heard you had something urgent to report. ”
(Soo-hyun.... We're in trouble.)
I was curious for a moment when I heard that something big had happened. But I immediately regained my mind. It was a word that came out of her mouth, not from anyone else. As you usually know her personality, it will never be light.
