Chapter 59 – Assassination Family Raven (17)

I was very curious about this goblin shaman’s identity and the power he had, but I had no choice but to kill him.

Being able to manipulate the mind can cause very big problems.

I turned the guy’s body over and tore off his clothes with a knife.

There were intricate tattoos left on my body, but I don’t know what they are.

Princess Rose and Marie Crow also came closer to check the body, but they seemed oblivious.

“I guess I have no choice but to ask the Adventurer’s Guild.”

“Yes. They will investigate in conjunction with the wizards.”

But what if this tattoo has something to do with mind manipulation? Is it okay to hand over that kind of power to wizards?

When I thought about that, I realized that my previous thoughts were not very good.

“No. If there is knowledge related to mind manipulation left in this symbol, it seems right not to share the information with the wizards. And it would be better not to leave the body behind. Can you both take care of the women as you go out of the cave?”

“Yes. The draft will be released soon, right?”

“Yes. It won’t take long.”

When Princess Rosette and Marie Crowe went out of the cave, they made a dagger using Shadow Craft.

I never thought I would gain knowledge about slaughter here.

He began to slowly peel off the goblin’s skin with a sharp dagger.

Although it was thin, I moved the dagger carefully so as not to break the leather.

You seem more focused than when you fought so far? As proof, a drop of sweat ran down my forehead.

I cut off the tattoos on the goblin’s upper body, and even cut off the tattoos on the arms and back.

He placed the goblin shaman’s tattoo some distance away, took the great sword that had become abnormal due to the heat from the purple fire, and struck down the corpse.

After crushing the goblin shaman’s corpse to the point where it was unrecognizable, I took the goblin shaman’s skin in my arms and looked around the deepest cave once more with the staff that was still intact.

After carefully checking to make sure there was no secret room, when I went outside, the sound of a woman’s cries filled the cave.

‘I can’t believe we all want to reduce the ratio of Yusian.’

If it were Cyan Raven, this would have been overlooked, but for Yu Xian, which accounts for 50%, it was a bit painful to hear.

Even if I came a little faster, I know I can’t protect everyone, but there’s something that pricks my heart.

“No!!!”

Perhaps there was a woman attempting self-harm near the pregnant woman.

While watching the adventurers comforting and helping the mentally unstable naked women, they came out to the entrance of the cave and found Princess Rosette with her hands shaking and her Marie Crow supporting her.

It would be better for me to come out like this rather than offer help in such an anxious state.

“Marie Crow, do you need to lead those adventurers?”

“It’s okay. There’s a gold-level adventurer, so just talk to him.”

“Then, we must return to the village first. We need to prepare clothes for the women from someone we know in the village, and since we are likely to have an abortion, we will also need a priest.”

“Yes. Then we will let you know that we are leaving first and then come back right away.”

Marie Crow ran and entered the cave.

Princess Rosette held her hands tightly and spoke to me.

“Can everyone make a comeback?”

“I can’t guarantee.”

I really don’t know about women who have children from goblins.

The people who were raped by the fire-gwang sect at the supermarket when possessed by Yi Xian survived, but goblins and other races are different.

And how much resentment would the world have if she conceived a child of a different race?

“I just have to hope I can get through it.”

“I guess so.”

While we were having a short conversation, Marie Crow came running out.

“I think we can go back and prepare first.”

“Then let’s go back.”

The assassin, the intelligence agent, and the princess headed to the village on foot at night.

I took off my coat in the safe house and washed the goblin shaman’s hide with water.

I thought it would be foolish to keep carrying this around, so I used Shadow Craft to spread shadows equally across the pattern, then dipped it in ink and stamped it on paper.

It’s nice that it can be used as a key or in various other forms rather than as a weapon.

After taking two pictures of the tattoos on his upper body, arms, and back, he put the goblin’s skin in a furnace and burned it.

“We will find out later what effect this has.”

I decided to check the status window first because I could see it right away.

【2】

【Cyan Raven-(44%)】

【Level: 3】

【Combat Power: 419】

【Holding skills: Shadow Mastery (E+2), Dark Spirit Sword (E)】

【Awaiting Quest (4/4)】

『Quest』

〈Kill 3 Hop Goblins.〉

-Completion: Shadow Mastery (E+) -〉 Shadow Mastery (E+2)

“Sir.”

I cleared the quest, but Cyan Crow’s growth was slower than I expected.

Shadow Mastery seemed to be obsessed with improving efficiency rather than providing additional abilities, so it was always at E rank and its combat power did not increase significantly.

Does this mean that we should handle the power we have more perfectly?

Objectively speaking, it is true that they are much stronger than Lee Sian and Yu Sian, but I felt a little frustrated because their level and combat power did not increase significantly.

“Fuhu… I was so lucky.”

I was so greedy that I was able to raise my combat power to 40 in just a few days, which I only raised in 3 months.

In addition, this is how I gained useful skills.

I, Yu Xian, have to think more about the growth of the main body than other possessed bodies.

After gathering my thoughts, I left the safe house.

The village was brightly lit at dawn, perhaps because Princess Rosette and Marie Crowe were wandering around, and was preparing to accept victims of goblins.

When I went to the two people’s side, Princess Rosette told me about the progress.

“It is said that only two women went missing in this village. That is why they did not expect there to be a goblin nest of that size. I am guessing that it was probably a female adventurer who stepped into the nest thinking it was a small nest.”

“If a lot of people had gone missing, it wouldn’t have felt like what I saw earlier. Has the priest been contacted?”

“There is no one in this village with the divine power of a temple leader, so I think we will need support from another village. Is there anyone you can think of?”

If Princess Rosette revealed her identity, she would likely send her priest from the Holy Kingdom, but there was only one person who came to mind.

“There was a temple leader in the village of Teib who believed in the goddess.”

Priests who believe in the goddess are responsible for the parts related to women’s abortions, so I can say that they are the most qualified people out of all the people I remember.

At that moment, a man who looked like a wizard approached him while scratching his head, and Princess Rosette said.

“Please open the warp gate to Taib Village. I will bring a priest.”

“Yes. Well… In this situation, we have to open it even in the early morning. We won’t be able to open it for long.”

The wizard, not knowing who was asking the favor, showed a slightly perverse attitude.

Since I am a high-ranking person dispatched from the Magic Tower, I can slightly understand such an attitude, but the woman in front of me and I are no easier people than the people of the Magic Tower.

Fortunately, the wizard opened the warp gate to Teib Village without making any more noise, and I hesitated while trying to go.

After finding out that I was from the Raven family, we parted ways with the feeling of never seeing each other again.

‘Because it’s about saving people.’

The guards of Teib village began to come, surprised to see the warp gate opened at dawn.

“I came to find the women who were harmed by goblins and ask the temple leader for help.”

“I see. Thank you for your hard work overnight. We will guard the gate while you return.”

“Thank you.”

I ran towards the temple in my memory and luckily the direction was not wrong.

I shouted while banging my fist on the tightly closed wooden door.

Thump thump thump

“Master Shinjeon!”

Thump thump thump

“Who are you…”

When I was about to call the temple leader again, I heard a voice I had heard before.

“Mr. Yui? I have urgent patients and need Director Shinjeon’s help. Could you please call me?”

“Uh… Mr. Xian? That’s good. Just a moment. I’ll wake you up and come back.”

The sound of light footsteps quickly disappeared beyond the door.

And after a while, the sound of two people’s footsteps was heard, and the tightly closed door opened, revealing Yui and Shin Jeonjang.

Yui was dressed neatly in her priestly attire, and the shrine leader was wearing her pajamas and a light coat.

The priest frowned slightly when he saw me and asked.

“What kind of patient is this that you need my strength for?”

It’s okay for Yui to have to do something like this someday.

“I rescued a woman who had been kidnapped by goblins. And something bad happened to her, and she needs the help of a temple priest.”

“Really…? No, you’re not the type of person to lie about something like that. Let’s go.”

“I’ll follow you too!”

“You stay. Since you’re on duty, if there’s an urgent patient, you have to take care of it.”

Yui spoke in a voice full of enthusiasm, but Director Shinjeon firmly refused.

“Ah… Please come back.”

Yui quickly rolled up her tail at Shinjeonjang’s words, and Shinjeonjang and I walked towards the warp gate.

“I didn’t know you would come to me to save people.”

“I never thought I would see you again like this, Master Shinjeon.”

After that, we headed towards the warp gate in silence, and the guards saluted after seeing the temple hall.

“Thank you for your hard work all night. I will return then.”

As I crossed the warp gate first, I heard a small voice behind me.

“Gwenna Harp, it’s Gwen.”

“Sian Raven, this is Sian.”

For the first time, I had a conversation with Shrine Commander Gwen.

When the two of us crossed the warp gate, the wizard closed the warp gate and went straight back to his house.

What is a wizard… He thought it would be better not to hand over the tattoo either.

“Thank you for your help, Commander Shinjeon.”

“I am the head of the Gwen Shrine in Teve Village. I will do my best.”

Before we knew it, the village representative came out and bowed his head upon seeing the temple leader, and Shrine Leader Gwen responded.

And as I see the lights approaching the village over there, it seems like the time to exchange compliments is over.
