Chapter 414 – Assassination Family Raven 4 (35)
After returning to Raven Territory, I spent most of my time with Princess Rosette at the mansion.
I gained knowledge to help Princess Rosette in finding a place to relocate to Scheiden and in charge of various administrative tasks, and I was able to handle them to some extent.
Unfortunately, the task of determining the validity of the assassination was out of my hands, and I was left in charge of information sales, among other tasks.
Everyone thought that the identity of the Raven family was assassination, but selling information was definitely more helpful to the family than assassination, which lost support from the imperial family and did not make any money.
‘The Crow family naturally swallows the Raven family.’
If they were paid a lot of money and went around assassinating like assassins in other kingdoms, it might be similar, but in the eyes of the Crow family, the Raven family is no different from insectivores.
Since the client had not arrived for several days, the Raven family assassins were spending time training in the mansion.
‘But I don’t think there’s ever been a request for an assassination like this before?’
Thanks to the warp gate, a magic tool that allows one to transcend space, the Empire spends little time traveling long distances, so they can come to the Raven Territory with just the will and money.
There’s no way the world suddenly became a clean state with no assassins…
“Has a competitor emerged?”
The Raven family, who accept the cheapest and most expensive price of life, is truly the last place to come.
As an assassin of the Raven family, I think it is right for me, as an assassin of the Raven family, to risk my life and take revenge if I have any money.
I thought it would be a good idea to check it out, so I went to see Akerball Crow, who is currently in charge of information on the Crow family.
“The reason the number of clients coming to the Raven family, Cian, has decreased is because of the Hero candidates. The Hero candidates selected by the Celestial Church of the Holy Kingdom have headed to the kingdom and empire and are helping the people until the devil appears. They have seen the damage caused by the Hero candidates. The work of saving the people overlaps somewhat with the work of the Raven family.”
“So is information selling like hotcakes recently?”
It’s nice to relieve fatigue by being held in my warm arms every night, but I thought reducing Princess Rosette’s duties in the Raven family was a priority.
So what I received was information sales, and the number of times I signed documents gradually increased.
‘Princess Rosette may have intended it.’
Since she is a smart and determined woman, I felt that she had anticipated this situation to some extent and handed the task over to me.
“Yes. As long as accurate information is provided, Hero candidates can draw their swords to prove their justice. Since they only receive a small reward in return, I think people who have no reason to give everything to the Raven family assassin use it.”
I nodded slightly at Ackerball Crow’s words.
“For the time being, the probability of receiving an assassination job will be greatly reduced.”
“Yes. In the worst case, I think the Raven family assassin may be forgotten before the devil appears in earnest.”
That’s not bad? To be honest, the Raven family is now a family of assassins, but it has been exposed too much.
It was a bit abnormal for assassins to gather together and live together with their fiefdoms.
In Han Xian’s world, the assassins were more scattered than the Crow family’s intelligence agents, so it was difficult to contact them unless they were on a mission.
“Once Shaiden’s migration is successful, it would be better to think about it later.”
In any case, even if the Raven family’s assassin moves, it will only make ‘the empire a little cleaner’.
It might be okay to take a short break to find direction.
“It would be nice if you could compile and deliver statistics on the information going to the warriors. Is that possible?”
“Yes. I will upload it like that from now on.”
Aker Ball Crow bowed his head.
‘Is half of the information being sent to the warrior party? For the rest, I just use this because it’s easier than going to another territory and getting information directly.’
Should we call it the Internet? Or should I call it an encyclopedia? What the Crow family did was similar to a transponder that combined the two.
We are still distinguishing between Raven and Crow, but it was obvious that if we announced that they had merged into Raven, the family’s status would be higher than when we were working as assassins.

It’s been quite a while since I spend mana doing paperwork during the day and using Yeonyeong Shinkong at night.
In the meantime, I stopped by the village of Tayve once, and Terry Crow was pregnant and waiting for a replacement intelligence agent.
After coming out of the safe house, I met the head of the temple, Gwen, who was not yet pregnant as a result of an ‘experiment’ at the Goddess’ temple, and heard about what had happened between them.
It’s true that I should have heard from Terry Crow, the intelligence agent, but I heard about the pregnancy, but I couldn’t ask for the information because I couldn’t spoil the mood.
Shrine leader Gwen said that Roman went out to select Hero candidates for the Heavenly God Church, but unfortunately did not hear good news and is now training hard in another village.
‘The Hero candidate for Celestial Religion is now complete, so it will be difficult for Roman.’
Since I was in charge of information for the Raven family, I was able to obtain a lot of information about hero candidates, and the hero candidates for the Heavenly God Church were strong people close to level 4, such as Feldiv.
Since they are hero candidates who have completed their growth in advance at a time when danger is approaching, they can easily solve minor problems that arise in various places and accumulate good deeds as they go.
Feeling that way, Feldiv also applied for the Hero candidate and became a Hero candidate thanks to the power he possessed, but quickly disappeared from the world because of a priest who sacrificed his life after her wife’s death and commissioned her to be assassinated.
“Yui also wants to help Roman, but it’s not easy to say because the paths of a regular priest and a combat priest are very different.”
I naturally thought of Seoyeon.
At the beginning of the semester, he had strong healing abilities and healed many people, but he couldn’t do anything when he saw blood, so his evaluation gradually went down.
After that, I took him to dungeons, developed resistance, and gained mental skills, allowing me to heal on the battlefield.
“In that case, it would be better to solve the problem with a little too much practical experience.”
“Is that how the Raven family resolves things?”
Temple Chief Gwen said, frowning slightly.
It meant dealing too much with monsters, but when someone from the Raven family thinks of assassination, it seems like they were thinking about fighting too much with people.
“Perhaps because of the Shadow Mastery learned in the Raven family, we do not feel much aversion to murder from the beginning.”
‘I heard a story about the blood of the devil flowing at the Celestial Church’s temple in Kurt’s territory.’
Looking at Terrance Raven, the matriarch, I thought that was true.
“And the excessive actual combat I was talking about refers to fighting monsters. First, I’m also an assassin, so I shouldn’t make a big deal out of it.”
“That’s right. If I need help, I’ll talk to Yui. Xian will still be stopping by Teib Village, right?”
Terry Crow, a good talker, will in time move to Scheiden to give birth.
Because of the ‘warrior party led by Roman’, we stopped by Taib Village to track Roman’s movements, but what if Roman moves his base?
Is the only reason I’m coming to Tave Village the Gwen Shrine left? I am relaying information about the Holy Kingdom, but I have no intention of moving to hunt demons right now.
‘It’s like coming to Teve Village to see the Gwen Shrine.’
Does it matter since the Gwen Shrine is in good shape as a reason enough to stop by Teve Village? Princess Rosette is still in the early stages of pregnancy and can’t mix her body, so she doesn’t seem to be bad.
“Yes. However, for the time being, we plan to stay in the Raven Territory to stabilize the family. Hero candidates have taken our work, so the family’s assassins are resting.”
“That’s a good thing… Um…”
I immediately realized why Shrinemaster Gwen hesitated.
“It means that a candidate for a hero or an assassin is the same as a person who kills. In fact, I am better at hunting down demons.”
“I can’t say anything about that. It’s been a while since I stopped by Xian. Do you have any plans for an ‘experiment’ tonight?”
“I think so.”
“Because I don’t think anything major will happen for a while.”
Of course, if I run around in all directions to kill the devil, I might encounter it again, but I felt the need to improve my strength.
Let’s go back because we need to balance Shadow Mastery and Flame God’s Skill well.
‘The return of possession.’

【2】
【Cyan Raven-(100%)+(EX 35%)】
【Level: 4】
【Combat power: 1289+(407)】
【Skills: Shadow Mastery (A+), Dark Spiritual Killing (B)】
【Awaiting Quest (9/9)】

After canceling the possession, I used Layer Liberation to make Cian Raven’s time flow.
I felt like time was passing a little slowly because my combat power was a little lacking.
If a crisis situation arises, it can be stopped immediately through crisis detection.
【Yusian】
【Level: 4】
【Combat Power: 1340】
【Skills possessed: Underworld Possession (S), Establishment of Self (S), Skill Link (A), Yeonhwanryu (B), Dark Spiritual Killing Technique (B), Survival Rules (EX), Shadow Mastery (A+), Yeonyeom Shingong (8) Surname)】
【Awaiting Quest (13/13)】
As soon as I returned, I checked the status window, and it showed that I had made a little more progress while possessing.
Level 4, probably at the very end, but now I know that I have entered the upper echelon of this world.
The combat power was slightly higher compared to Cyan Raven, which received a bonus due to EX possession, but it was probably largely due to the fact that the ratio of negative attribute mana and heat could be freely adjusted using mana.
“Oh! The black spirit killing method is now mine?”
The two quests I experienced as Cian Raven completely made the Dark Spiritual Killing method my own.
I think it became mine when I learned soul energy, but I’m not sure because I didn’t check right away.
I will have to experiment with how to use the new power I gained when possessing the Cyan Raven when I become a Han Sian.
