Chapter 47 – Assassination Family Raven (5)

When I woke up in the morning and was checking my abilities, Terry Crow came out of the room, leaning on the wall.

I didn’t mix my body that intensely, but it seems a bit difficult because my body is small.

“Sir, Sian. The warp gates will open sequentially from 10 o’clock. And as you know, Sian, the assassins must return to the Raven family through the path of revenge.”

“I know. I’ve probably used it a lot more.”

The path of revenge, the Raven family is an assassin family, but it can be seen as one of the strange parts.

When it comes to killing a target, it hides in the shadows and kills them instantly, but it also allows them to take revenge on the Raven family assassins on their way back to the family.

Since he is an assassin who kills people, the second validity is naturally satisfied, and the first is that he only has to sacrifice his life in return, so it can be seen as a kind of exception clause made to avoid killing members of the Raven family.

If you dream of revenge on the Raven family assassin, if you want to kill him, risk your life and wait on the path of revenge.

After the assassin of the Raven family completes the assassination, he unconditionally returns through the path of revenge.

However, I was caught up in this assassination mission.

Now that it’s time to go back, I remember little by little.

‘That guy’ deliberately made a big deal out of it by killing the high priest, and it was difficult for me to escape due to my lack of hiding skills.

I cut down the holy kingdom’s paladins and ordinary knights that stopped me, escaped the holy kingdom as much as possible, and then drank all the poison I had to avoid large-scale detection.

I briefly killed Cyan Raven by drinking poison so that he could not read the form and flow of my mana or find and trace his body’s habits, and at that time I became possessed.

Cian Raven was confident that he would not die even if he drank all the poison, and he had even been sprayed with a monster repellent, so even if Roman and Yui could not find him, he would not have died.

“Warp gate toll is 50 silver.”

“Okay. Take care Terry Crow.”

“Yes, Sir Xian. I hope you return safely.”

Terry Crow bowed deeply towards me.

I left the safe house and headed to the north of the village.

Many people had gathered since morning to use the warp gate.

The wizard in charge of operating the warp gate opened the gate and spoke as he inserted the piece he had into the door.

“The warp gate to Valthyr will open soon!!!”

The wizard shouted loudly, and soon the warp gate activated.

Most users going to the big city of Valtir were merchants, who paid a lot of money to have their wagons pass through the warp gate.

If you sell goods in a city with a warp gate, you won’t get the full price, so even if you go to Valtir, you will go to a village a little further away and sell it.

When all the people using the warp gate to Valtir disappeared, the wizard closed the warp gate and took out a bottle of mana potion and drank it with a difficult look.

“Next!”

The wizard shouted loudly, and the warp gates to the four major cities opened and closed one after another, leaving only users who had individual business to run.

The wizard asked the remaining four people, holding another bottle of mana potion that he had been drinking every time he opened or closed the gate.

“Where do you go from the person on the right?”

“Northern Gateway.”

A man wearing thick fur clothes and carrying a large ax on his back said.

“Eser Territory.”

A man wearing light leather armor and a long sword spoke.

“The path of revenge.”

Is there someone with the same destination as me?

The two people who first told the destination also looked at the third person wearing a hood who told them the path of revenge.

“Who is the fourth person?”

“I too am on the path of revenge. I would be grateful if you could open it before the first two.”

I and the third person paid 50 silver to the wizard, who found the piece and activated the warp gate.

As soon as I saw the scenery of The Road of Revenge, my assimilation rate went up a little.

A third person with the same destination as me moved on the path of revenge first, and I followed.

When the two of us arrived at the path of revenge, the warp gate closed a moment later.

“What brings you to the path of revenge?”

I may have come to seek revenge on someone, but I asked out of courtesy.

“I was looking for you, Cian Raven. The Holy Kingdom decided not to send anyone on a path of revenge, but do you think he can avoid the sin of killing the priest!”

The third person said as he took off his robe.

The first thing that caught my eye was a female paladin with short silver hair, armor, and a stubborn appearance.

However, although she was a paladin, the paladin’s armor, which was supposed to shine brightly, was a mess, as if it were true that she had gone against the will of the Holy Kingdom.

The pattern symbolizing the Holy Knight was scratched with something like a sharp metal, making it unrecognizable, and the damaged part and the entire armor was stained with black paint.

That high priest wasn’t a particularly good human being, so is this the type of person who can’t tolerate murder that occurred in the Holy Kingdom?

Because of that stubbornness, he probably chose to fight on the path of revenge rather than fight now.

“Then, let’s go first and wait. Assassins of the Raven family have to go through reinstatement procedures.”

“Don’t run away.”

One paladin started walking down the path of revenge.

I spoke to the Raven family combat agent who came next to me.

“I am returning after completing the Cyan Raven mission.”

“Yes, Sian.”

The combat personnel disappeared into the shadows.

First, I can’t do that. If you think about it, that combat agent would be better suited for assassination than me.

Soon after the combatant disappeared into the shadows, a voice rang out on the path of revenge.

“Cyan Raven returns. Cyan Raven returns. The path to revenge opens.”

How come it is more difficult for an assassin to return home than to assassinate his target?

Although the assimilation rate is increasing, it is still a family that cannot be understood.

It’s a big road about 500 meters long, and there are thick bushes around it where you can hide, and there are people out there with their eyes wide open, targeting me.

After the second rule was added, the Raven family seems to have only killed those who were really worth killing, but there are so many enemies.

Using Shadow Craft, I made a sword in my right hand and a dagger in my left hand.

After spending the night with Terry Crow, I woke up early in the morning and tried Shadow Craft. They said I made a weapon out of shadows, but once I made it, the shape was fixed, so if I wanted to make something of a different shape, I had no choice but to throw away what I had and make a new one.

Objects made with Shadow Craft had the characteristic of disappearing a few seconds after leaving the body, which seems to be an advantage when assassinating a target and erasing traces.

‘If you say you were assassinated in the Empire, if you vote for the Raven family more than half of the time, you tend to get hit. Does it have meaning?’

They say that even if there are no traces, if it is said that the Raven family did it, it is correct.

Of course, if we tried to cover up something we didn’t do, we would be investigated by the Crow family, and we, who were under the protection of the imperial family, would get the wrong treatment.

“The problem is now.”

As the assimilation rate increases, some memories return, but clearing the quest in front of you is the priority.

As she took a step toward revenge, a woman with a dagger came running.

I don’t know how long she stayed in her path, but her face and body were a mess.

Her eyes were full of venom, and I don’t know why she was targeting me.

Except for the foolish paladin standing far away, the people waiting in this forest were too weak.

“Die!!!”

She held out the dagger with both hands, but it was slow.

She struck down the stabbing dagger with the dagger in her left hand and cut off her head with the sword in her right hand.

Suddenly.

Even at the moment of her death, the woman’s head fell to the floor, looking at me with her vengeful eyes.

“Anyone who wants revenge on me can come out at any time. If you are less courageous than this woman, stay still until I return to the clan.”

Then, a man came rustling out of the forest.

She was holding an old sword, and her posture was much more stable than that of the woman from before.

“Did you really have to kill my father? The dog of the empire!”

I don’t know who your father is?

“Yes. Who is your father?”

“Willis Butorande. Don’t say you forgot.”

After hearing the name, I searched Cian Raven’s memories and found such a person.

“Is this the son of the man who was called a good lord with low tax rates and good welfare on the outside, but who impregnated her maid, Ena, and killed her out of fear that it would ruin his name? Willis Beautorante’s life was paid for by her grandfather. It was.”

“A maid’s life! Are you saying that that old man’s life has the same value as her father’s life!!!”

“Because it’s a family rule? Then I ask you the opposite: Do you think your life has the same value as mine?”

“Aaaaah!!!”

The son came running with his sword raised high to avenge his father.

When he threw the dagger in his left hand, he struck it with his sword and the dagger bounced away.

The reaction speed was pretty good, but in the meantime, I dug in and stabbed his heart with the sword.

“I-I-IK!”

He immediately retrieved the sword that had struck the dagger and changed the trajectory of the sword aimed at his chest, but there was no way to respond with the sword that appeared in his empty left hand.

Pooh wook

“Wow.”

Unfortunately, I couldn’t pierce the heart right away, but I cut it with a slight horizontal movement.

I covered the deep wound in my chest with both hands where I dropped the sword, but blood continued to leak out.

I got a little closer and spoke in a whisper so that only that guy could hear.

“If I were to continue talking about the price of life that I talked about earlier, it actually has no meaning.”

“Ha…”

The guy who answered briefly fell to the floor not long after.

It fell on the guy who had turned into a cold corpse.

This rule was created to mean that it would be better to be able to kill two people rather than receiving a free request and killing one person.

Yes, the blood of a crazy murderer flows in this family.

This is a family that would have done something crazy if they had not taken on the leash of the empire.
