Chapter 254 – Assassination Family Raven 3 (8)

The person who spoke to me was a silver-level adventurer.

I have an official issued by the Adventurer’s Guild, but since I have a fake adventurer ID card, it cannot be said to be the same.

Seche must have steadily risen in rank by gathering, beheading monsters, or doing escort missions.

“First, don’t you have any questions? There’s no one to talk to about this because they’re all the same here.”

After hearing that, I took a closer look at the mercenaries.

Are they mostly mercenaries who have not awakened Mana? It seemed like a team of two had the skills to take on at least an orc.

In terms of martial arts, it can be seen as a second-rate person who cannot express energy.

And the person next to me was like that.

Perhaps, if I could handle sword energy, I would have become a gold-level adventurer.

“I think most of the adventurers doing escort missions right now are silver-level adventurers?”

“You have a good eye for attention, right? Gold level people become leaders of proper parties and receive proper missions.”

Judging by the slightly self-deprecating smile he gave while saying that, the silver-level adventurer here didn’t seem to have such a bright future.

Are you an adventurer who makes a living by repeatedly doing low-difficulty missions with moderate profits rather than raising your adventurer level by doing special missions?

“But didn’t you know that you came here? The mission of escorting Sain between Yurisian and Thembus is quite a useful one.”

“I had some business to go to the Kingdom of Thembus, so I applied to earn some pocket money while I was there.”

“Huh… But Mr. Xian, are you walking alone?”

“This visit to the Kingdom of Thembus is quite personal.”

“Are you from there?”

“No. She is, um, there is a woman I was seeing at the Ed Bernill Estate in the Kingdom of Thembus. I haven’t been able to contact her lately.”

When I spoke to Seche with a slightly bitter smile, he nodded as if he understood what was going on.

“There are many inconvenient things about long-distance relationships. Even within the Eurisian Empire, you can meet in one day if you use the warp gate, but I’ve heard of a story about a man and woman splitting their heads because they cheated on each other. That doesn’t work even in the Raven family, does it?”

She was a little taken aback by the story of the Raven family that suddenly popped up.

Insignificant stories are filtered out along the lines of the Crow family, and Rosette filters them out once again, so I have never made a move because of such a heated fight.

More than that, Seche seems to be convinced that the reason for the loss of contact was the woman’s affair, but he doesn’t seem to know much about the devil.

“It won’t be the wind.”

“There was a lot of wind? Should I make a bet?”

“What do you bet on something like that?”

“Well, if you lose contact without the wind, it means you have a big problem with your life. Wouldn’t the wind be better?”

From that perspective, it made sense that the wind was better than death.

You have to be alive to curse and get angry. If you died while I was away, it would be difficult to recover.

“But it won’t be the wind.”

“Well, I think so. Well, if the wind blows, come to Sunbury, and I’ll buy you a drink.”

“If that really happens, I will go and get it.”

After talking for a while, Seche returned to his colleagues

I had a rough chat with my colleagues about what kind of person I am, and looking at what I’ve told Seche so far, I guess I’m just an adventurer who goes alone to find a lover in the Kingdom of Thembus who is in a long-distance relationship, but I can’t contact them?

I think the story was told reasonably well, but there were some parts that were a bit lacking.

You said you were in a long-distance relationship with a woman in the Kingdom of Thembus, but is this your first escort mission on your way to the Kingdom of Thembus?

Even if we had crossed the border with the party so far, it was very lax.

‘It won’t be any problem.’

Among adventurers, there are not just one or two people who are very braggart.

“Mr. Xian is on watch from 2 to 4 o’clock.”

The person in charge of the escort came to inform me while I was alone after dinner.

“Yes, I understand.”

I think it was very malicious timing, but it was okay because using combat sleep allowed me to maintain my stamina with less sleep.

Still, I can’t increase the amount of mana by using Yeonyeong Shinkong.

If the mercenaries are annoying during the fortune-telling ceremony, problems will arise.

I spread leaves in a suitable spot and used the Yeonyeom Shingong (連炎神功) to create a less humid place to sleep.

I had decided to go to bed early and was resting alone, when a person wandered in among the adventurers who were drinking.

“Newbie there. Why don’t you go and use your body?”

“If it’s your body, are you talking about the boxtu over there?”

As I spoke while looking at the place where the adventurers were hitting each other with their fists, the man nodded his head sharply.

“Okay. If you don’t know how to play, you have to use your strength. Let’s go!”

Since they were paying attention to me, who couldn’t quite fit in, I got up from my seat and slowly headed to the fighting place.

When I arrived, Kashin, his flowing golden hair tied down, raised his hands as he knocked down his opponent.

His upper body was naked, but his large muscles and small scars were visible.

“Wow, good job! Kashin!”

“I heard your skills are clear!”

While everyone was praising Kashin’s skills, the drunk person who brought me pointed at me and said.

“Hey Kashin! Do you want to have a game with the newbie?”

“Oh. Aren’t you reserve number 1? Okay. I have enough stamina, so let’s give it a try.”

Kashin, pounding her chest with her fist, gestured towards me.

He stretched out his right hand and told them to come in with all fingers except the thumb, so he went in through the adventurers and merchants.

It seems that merchants don’t really dislike these drinking establishments either.

“Newbie, can you use your fists?”

Kashin gave his fist and punched the air twice.

Considering that the speed is quite fast, it seems like your skills are clear, right?

“I have two arms like this, but can’t I use them?”

“Okay, then let’s have a round!”

Kashin attacked quickly without any warning.

Since you can figure out her trajectory without using Perception, you should just play around with it.

From the start, I ducked slightly to avoid the fist flying towards my face, and then pushed Kashin’s chest with the tips of my five fingers.

Kashin, who was pushed behind her with a frown, brushed off the five red dots that had formed on her chest with her hands.

Although that won’t erase it.

“Oh…!”

“Is that newbie doing a good job?”

Again, Kashin came charging in with both her fists clenched.

When I think about it, I think I started using counters more often after learning the survival rules.

There is a saying that a player is sure to win, but is there a need for me to fight based on the opponent’s numbers? When that thought occurred to me, I took a step forward.

Phut. Pang.

This time, I touched Kashin’s chest twice with only my fingers.

“Ugh. They fight in a strange way.”

Kashin, who was pushed back, looked at the mark on his chest and said.

Fifteen dots have already been marked.

Well, I have no intention of continuing to fight like this, so I clenched my fists to fight properly.

Puck! Puck! Puck!

It was a one-sided blow, I just hit in front of the usual dodge and hit.

Hit, avoid, hit.

Without even allowing a single blow, I made Kashin step back with a punch with moderate force, and then I also fell back.

“Is this okay?”

Kashin, whose chest was covered in red marks from being hit by my fist, raised his hands to his shoulders this time in a sign of surrender.

“Yes, I can’t win. I lost.”

“Wow! We’re getting some new recruits? There’s no next one?!”

“Kashin lost with both hands and feet like that?”

“I’m coming!”

The adventurers’ night seems to be noisy.

I should hang out a little more and then take a break.

*

When there was a moderate lull, I lay down in bed and closed my eyes.

An adventurer who stretched out his presence detection once after drinking alcohol, and an adventurer who wandered around because he was on watch.

I even read people having sex from a little distance away and then focused on people coming close to me.

It doesn’t look like he’s drunk, does it? And since I thought there was no hostility, I just opened my eyes slightly.

“Xian, you weren’t sleeping after all?”

The body that first spoke to me came to see me.

“I was planning on going to bed soon.”

“Really? Your fists are stronger than I thought, right? Kashin is quite good at using them among Silver level adventurers in Sunbury.”

The three of them threw her fists in the air, and as expected from a silver-level adventurer, her fists were quite fierce.

“I think it’s close to gold level.”

“Ah. Are you different from others? There are people who think like that.”

I actually think I have gold level or higher skills, but you won’t know unless I show it.

Seche said, sitting next to me with his butt down.

“I spoke to her colleagues earlier, and they said there was a bit of a problem at Ed Bernill’s estate. Did you know?”

It seems true that Seche did not know about the incident at Edburnil’s territory.

So it seems like she simply said it was a woman’s affair, so maybe that’s why she came here feeling a little sorry?

“Yes. I knew. Even if you don’t know whether he is alive or dead, shouldn’t you go first?”

“Alone?”

“I don’t think numbers are that meaningful. What matters is that I go.”

“That woman would be great. Take care of it.”

After saying that, Seche left the place.

‘There is no such woman.’

What I am going to meet is a fragment of the demon Shahemos.

I checked the quest window every day to see if there had been any change in the target, but there was no change yet.

In a way, I felt like I was handling it first, even though several incidents should have happened when Roman was leading the hero party.

‘Then am I no different from a warrior?’

I closed my eyes, thinking that it wouldn’t be a bad idea if I could defeat all the demons before they came down to earth.
