Chapter 50 – Assassination Family Raven (8)

When I returned to my room, I started thinking about calmness.

Most crisis situations where calmness was activated occurred during direct combat.

The one time that was an exception was when evolved zombies appeared.

At that time, out of many options, I chose to grab a weapon and go outside, and perhaps it was a mistake, but I had no choice but to fight for my life against the evolved zombies.

Even now, I felt like calm was trying to keep giving me options.

To be precise, [Skill: Survival Rules] Seemed to be telling me to think more in order to survive.

Should we prepare as much as possible? Then poison and weapons were needed.

Sion Raven’s normal pattern was to make weapons through Shadow Craft and assassinate using spirit swords, but she decided to prepare a little more.

I plan to leave for Valtir through the warp gate tomorrow, so I need to move now.

As soon as I thought that, I left the room and headed to the agent support room.

“Sian, are you here?”

The servant in the support room bowed his head.

“Poison, weapon.”

“Yes. Weapon…?”

I seemed curious as to why I, who can shadowcraft, was looking for a weapon.

“Is there any need to use the Raven family’s technology against such a third-rate criminal?”

“I don’t know who you’re going to assassinate, but I understand. It’s been a while since you’ve been looking for a weapon. How can I prepare the poison?”

“I will take care of what I usually carry. I will choose the weapon myself.”

“I understand.”

The servant who greeted me had his subordinate prepare the poison, and I entered the room where the weapon was stored.

There were daggers hanging all over the wall, but their length didn’t seem to be much different from the daggers I made using Shadow Craft.

“You said you would choose it yourself, but they all have the same standard. Normally, I tend to use magic power amplification equipment, but Sian is different.”

The Raven family was basically close to wizards.

I honed my skills to kill enemies by hiding in the shadows or giving physical power to the shadows. Training my sword skills was the job of the Crow family’s agents.

So, it can be said that Cian Raven has reached the level of creating his own sword, the Black Flesh Sword.

I didn’t notice any difference as I didn’t have eyes to see the weapon, so I grabbed a nearby dagger.

When I took it out of the scabbard, a very sharp blade caught my eye.

“That’s enough.”

After taking the two daggers, I came out of the weapon storage room and saw that the servant had placed several poison pills.

“This is a poison you usually carry with you, so I won’t give you an explanation.”

He did not carry the kind of poison that could take his life.

Paralysis of the body, slowing of blood circulation, or twisting of the mana rod preventing the use of skills.

Because the Raven family’s assassin prefers to kill enemies with his own power.

He stuffed the thin bottle of poison into his coat pocket and then left the assassination support room.

At that time, I heard a woman’s voice calling me.

“Cian Raven~ I hope it’s a mission?”

When I turned my head slightly, I saw that she was a woman with black hair like me.

Kaela Raven, Kairendal Raven’s one-year younger sister and an assassin with similar powers.

“Princess Rosette just chose me.”

“It’s not wrong. So, did you kill the client? Can I do that?”

“That’s it. I’ll take care of it.”

As I was about to pass by Kaela Raven, I gently grabbed my shoulder and whispered in her ear.

“Okay. Then tell the princess. If you tie me further to the Raven family, she might want to aim for the golden target.”

“If you want to fight with the royal family, do whatever you want.”

I shook off Kaela Raven’s hand that was holding my shoulder and returned to her room.

Rather, calmness was not activated in the situation just now.

Are you saying it’s harder to assassinate Rowe Travis than when I’m faced with a woman who can use her shadow to fight for her life at any time?

What on earth is wrong with that mission?

It seemed like I received a quest that would allow me to grow quickly like when I was possessed by Isian. Should I just kill them all instead of doing something foolish?

To avoid being consumed by Cyan Raven, I shook my head once and then lay down on the bed to sleep.

*

I went to sleep early and woke up at dawn.

I also drank tea, which has a detoxifying effect, and the remaining poison in my body was definitely gone due to the rest from the battle.

I thought that being able to sleep well and improve my recovery was a perfect thing.

When I left the room with one of the bags in the room, the servants who guarded the dawn looked at me and bowed their heads.

The problem lies in escaping the path of revenge.

It would be best if I could slip into the shadow and escape, but I can’t do that.

She pulled her black coat up to her face and headed outside, hiding her appearance in the darkness as much as possible.

【Skill: Black Spirit Sword (E)】

【One. Yeongtu (影套): Cover the shadow and make it difficult for others to find you.】

As my breathing and presence became fainter, no one could find me in the early morning when the sun had not risen.

It would have been easier to move if presence detection had been opened, but it hasn’t been opened yet.

I slowly walked the path of revenge.

Without making a sound as he stepped on the grass, he slowly killed his presence and escaped a distance of 500 meters.

While I was escaping, I found about two people lurking, but maybe I was being too complacent?

I wanted to stab him in the heart, so it wouldn’t turn into a nuisance the next time I came back, but I didn’t do it because it was against the rules.

I made it out of the path of revenge with ease and waited for the wizard who would operate the warp gate to come to work.

In the meantime, I took off my black coat and put it in my bag.

After adding poison and two daggers, he returned as an ordinary person with black hair wearing clothes he had roughly bought in the village he visited last time.

Aside from restaurants, there were no proper stores near the Road of Revenge, so I spent time sitting at the restaurant.

“Where are you going today?”

The waiter asked me as he brought me breakfast.

Since this restaurant is also owned by the Crow family and the waiter has seen me a few times, he was able to ask me questions about my destination.

“Valthyr.”

“You’re going to a place with a lot of people. I hope you return safely.”

“Thank you.”

After eating warm soup with bread in a quiet restaurant, my hunger was quite satisfied.

I sat in the restaurant and watched people coming and going until the warp gate was activated, but everyone was crazy about revenge.

After filling your stomach, all you want to do is kill the Raven family assassin who is returning from hiding on his way to revenge.

I don’t know why I’m doing this annoying thing.

It seems like the head of the family is just leaving it alone because there are more people to kill. What kind of assassin is this?

As I was sitting and wasting time, the time for the warp gate to open was approaching.

After going outside and waiting a bit, the wizard came to open the gate with a sleepy expression.

“Where are you going?”

“Valthyr.”

“Then we will open the gate starting from Valthyr.”

When the wizard inserted the piece heading to Valtyr into the warp gate and injected mana, the warp gate opened.

There were only a few people waiting, but the fastest way was to use the warp gate and move to Valtir, where the target lived.

“There are so many people here.”

He expressed without hesitation what he felt as Yusian.

As it is a large city, there were many people coming and going through the warp gate, and it felt like commerce was definitely developed.

I haven’t experienced crowds in almost half a year since moving to Utopia.

Although I lived at a global academy, I didn’t have many friends, so I was almost a loner.

And because the zombie outbreak occurred in Lee Sian’s world, the overall population decreased significantly.

Was the supermarket the most crowded place? It was packed, with even a fire wave.

I went to the biggest bar, seeing all kinds of people.

The biggest bar was also a restaurant during the day and business was going well during the day. I went to the small house third on the left from the house and knocked on the door.

“The white dove was pierced.”

After telling him the password I heard from Terry Crow yesterday, the door opened with a grumbling sound from inside.

“Haam… Elvie said she would come back in the evening…?”

The black-haired man looked at me and blinked.

“Cian Raven?! Please come in.”

I entered the secret safe house in Valtir and sat down on a chair.

“What brings you here? Have you decided to assassinate Rowe Travis?”

“That’s right. Would you like me to give you all the information about Law Travis?”

“Yes, I understand.”

I quickly retrieved information related to Low Travis, probably because the intelligence agent had already organized it on the bookshelf.

“If it’s not rude, may I explain?”

The moment I tried to read the data, the intelligence agent spoke.

It seems like there would still be time to read it all, but it feels different to hear it written down, and it feels different.

I put down the material and looked at the intelligence agent because I felt like important information related to the calmness I had displayed arbitrarily would come out of my mouth, and I started talking while clearing my throat.

“Hmm. The murder case in which Law Travis was the culprit happened 9 days ago. Even among intelligence agents, they were keeping a close eye on him because they thought he might cause an accident at some point. Then something happened, and the client asked for money to use the warp gate. I prepared it and left for Raven’s home.”

“How did you raise the money for the warp gate when the client wasn’t in good health?”

Since not many people use the path of revenge, a large amount of money, as much as 50 silver, was needed.

I began to quickly come up with the answer I had prepared to that question.

“Didn’t Rowe Travis always break things and silence them by paying compensation? It is said that the victims collected and gave the compensation that was collected at that time. Since you never know when something like murder might happen again, they thought it would be better to deal with it cleanly with the client’s life.”

“So how’s Law Travis doing lately?”

“Well, he doesn’t come out of the house. He heard rumors that his client left for the Raven family, so he thinks he doesn’t have much time left to live, so he is hiding in his room at the Travis Mansion. You can’t cover up a murder.”

“Isn’t the priority for the guards to lock up the murderer?”

“I already went in and came out. I stayed for two days.”

After hearing that story, I felt like I had no choice but to risk my life and request an assassination from the Raven family.

This is why this crazy family never runs out of work.
