Chapter 60 – Assassination Family Raven (18)

Among the adventurers, the one who could use the power of healing and the head of Gwen’s temple headed to the house vacated by the villager.

Even women who had been hurt and strong women who were prepared to go on a rampage went there.

It’s a shame to put people with sadness, anger, and various negative emotions in one house and ask one person to heal them, but it was just as important to do something that could save them.

I have to put my bitter feelings to one side and solve real-life problems right now.

I looked at a man wearing rather thick armor walking towards me.

I only glanced at the adventurers, but he was the strongest. You must be a gold-level adventurer, right?

“How about moving somewhere for a moment?”

“Good. I’m thinking of taking two companions. Is that okay?”

“If that person is who I thought in the first place, it won’t make any difference no matter how many people there are.”

So I took Princess Rose and Marie Crowe and went to an empty restaurant with a gold-level adventurer.

“I am Jackson, a gold-level adventurer.”

“Who do they think I am?”

I could tell you the name right away, but I asked because I was curious to see if I was guessing correctly.

“Marie Crow, a woman who revealed her identity to me as an informant for the Crow family, brought us here. But looking at the person leading her, she must be from the Raven family. Most of the goblins’ corpses had sword images, not the shadow magic that the Raven family is proud of. . If you stab and cut, five members of the Raven family come to mind, but if you narrow it down to a young person, only one remains.”

What kind of assassin family has made their personal information public?

Even though I was protected by the royal family, I thought it was too much.

“That’s correct, Jackson.”

“I didn’t get a gold rating for nothing. Do you know what I’m going to say?”

“It’s probably about money. Isn’t money the most important thing for an adventurer?”

“Originally, we were planning to carry out the operation tomorrow morning, but we hastily moved at night. Since we moved at night, there should be a little bonus. Also, the number of goblins we hunted, and the goblins inside the cave, Sian, you killed them all. There were 92 goblins outside, and the injured women were brought in safely…”

Jackson took a piece of paper from his arms, scribbled down the amount, and then turned, so we could see.

They certainly asked for quite a lot of money. I’m guessing they’re telling you to negotiate and get a reasonable discount.

“I’m not interested in the goblin’s corpse.”

Then Jackson passed the paper around again and cut the amount.

“Same goes for hobgoblins.”

“I thought it was included.”

There I shaved it again.

Is there nothing more to cut?

I think I could get a lot of discount if I hand over the information about the goblin shaman, but I decided not to hand it over.

Jackson, who had been waiting for a while, spoke to me.

“If that were the end, it would be this much. If you deduct three days’ worth of lodging and food for 40 adventurers, plus bonuses for each grade, including the bonus for each grade with the goblin’s corpse, even if you think about it, you get 80 silver.”

The purpose of the call was to kill goblins, the hiring period was three days, and the number of adventurers was large, so it didn’t feel like I was being ripped off.

Since Princess Rosette and I didn’t bring that much money, we first looked at Marie Crowe.

“Hmm… It’s a little short. I have 20 silver and probably 50 silver at home.”

Since I used the warp gate today, I don’t have much.

The Crow family won’t function properly for the time being, so is it okay to pay a lot of money to an intelligence agent?

When thinking about that, Princess Rosette took out 50 silver from her pocket.

“Marie, fortunately, I only need to bring 10 silver from home.”

Then Marie took out 20 silver from her pocket and put it up.

The money on the table was 70 silver, and I was trying to find the money in my pocket when Jackson said.

“Cyan Raven, may I ask you a question? If you answer, I will pay you 10 silver at your own expense.”

“If you can answer, then answer. Otherwise, 10 silver is better.”

“How did you escape from the Holy Kingdom? It doesn’t seem easy to escape from paladins and knights in broad daylight.”

“It’s no big deal. I died once.”

To be exact, I hid the existence of the Cyan Raven by consuming all the poison that could weaken it to the point where it died, but in the end, what I did was not much different from killing myself.

“I see. It must be difficult to chase down a dead person.”

Jackson seemed to like my answer and without asking anymore, he took 70 silver and stood up.

I asked Princess Rosette at the restaurant where Jackson left.

“How much did you bring?”

“I just used up all my silver, so now I have 12 gold left.”

Are you just carrying around that much money? And because of the situation, I took a quick look at something worth money while sitting down, and it turned out that I had 12 gold and 50 silver.

If she was able to take care of everything, how much was Princess Rosette able to take away?

Marie Crowe also looked at Princess Rose and her face looked a little tired.

“I think our work is done, so let’s go back to the safe house. I think I should get some rest too.”

Princess Rosette, who kept walking today, should also get some rest.

Marie Crowe seemed to be in awe after hearing what I said.

So I shook my head slightly to indicate that that wasn’t what I meant.

At that time, Marie nodded her head with an expression that didn’t know whether to like it or not.

Princess Rose is with you, so would you ask me to look after you for the night?

*

I took a deep breath and woke up away from the women.

Combat sleep seems to be a really good ability when you see that the mana used is also fully recharged.

“Xian are you awake?”

But it seemed like the two women woke up before me.

Princess Rosette was sitting in her chair, looking at the goblin shaman’s tattoo that I had copied.

Now that the princess has learned magic, will she be able to figure something out? Since I was learning through her status window, that part was lacking.

I think it would be better to learn swordsmanship properly, and if possible, it would be better to learn it properly with Yu Xian’s body.

“Yes, Princess Rosette.”

“Xian, when I woke up, I became Princess Rosette again.”

“Rosette. Did Marie Crow go out?”

“Yes. There is a lot of information to collect.”

“Then, I will go out for a while. Would you like to come with me?”

“No. I’ll just watch this a little longer.”

“Okay. I’ll bring you breakfast while I’m going out.”

“I’d like to ask you to do that.”

I left Princess Rose in her safe house and came out.

The morning has now come, but the village was a little quiet because something happened in the village early in the morning, and we woke up at dawn.

The only place that was crowded was the restaurant, and the adventurers returning today were eating early in the morning.

I couldn’t find Marie Crowe in that area, so I went to the place where the women gathered yesterday to get treatment.

At that moment, a red-haired priest with squinty eyes came out of the room and made eye contact with me.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“These people have a lot more to overcome in the future and are having a hard time.”

“That’s right. Painful memories are hard to forget.”

Shrine Gwen, who looked at me with soft eyes as I said that, carefully opened her mouth.

“I apologize for thinking you only wielded a sword to kill.”

“There was only one person who came to life because we killed him. The one who saved him was Lord Gwen.”

After hearing those words, Temple Chief Gwen slightly turned his head.

He should say what he originally wanted to ask.

“Did Marie come here by any chance?”

“Marie… Yes. After finding out the identity of her women, I went out after offering her help if she would return to her hometown. Is she looking for her?”

“It looks like we are at odds again. Then, Shrine Commander Gwen, I hope you get some rest.”

She should go to the restaurant and buy food and then return to the safe house.

As the sun rose a little higher, the village slowly began to wake up and more customers headed to the restaurant.

I also joined in and bought some soup and bread, and when I returned to the safe house, Marie Crow opened the door.

“Sian? I guess we’re mixed up.”

Inside the house, there was a savory smell of soup, as if I had bought the same thing as me.

I didn’t have much money, but I spent it in vain. I should reheat what I bought and eat it for lunch.

“Have you obtained the women’s personal information?”

“I talked to people I could talk to, but they all seem to have no motivation for life. The women who were kidnapped in this village are goblins…”

Marie Crowe, who was trying to express her expression, slightly turned her head and looked at Princess Rosette.

Princess Rosette nodded her head as if she didn’t care.

“I know everything I know. You’re older than both of them, right?”

There is no particular relationship between age and explicit language, but Princess Rosette is also a person who has heard many things.

“Continue.”

“I’m going to hear that you’ve been the goblin’s successor, so I think I’m thinking of entrusting you to a distant goddess’ temple. Temple leader Gwen will use her strength. Other adventurer women are mentally weak. In the first place, they don’t have a chance to survive. That’s why they tend to become adventurers, but there are also very few people who come to their senses because the fact that they got into a relationship with a goblin that killed and even ate the male companions they were with is so painful.”

“I understand. But if they ask for help, I hope I can help them as much as I can.”

“Yes, I understand. But what is the status of your family now? I tried to contact you in the morning, but I was unable to contact you.”

“The head of the family overused her power a little when punishing those who betrayed the family and tried to obey the royal family. It will take some time to recover. It will be difficult to hope for support from the Crow family now.”

“Ah… So you two go out… But is it okay for Princess Rose to hear that?”

“I don’t care. In the first place… No.”

The crazy head of the family destroyed the Crow family in order to catch those who tried to collude with the royal family, but Princess Rosette treated it as someone else’s story.

“Ah. Sian, you have to eat. Shall we eat what you bought for lunch?”

I was planning to leave for Teve Village today, but it might take a while considering I’ll be leaving with Temple Chief Gwen.

And now it’s been 4 days since I was possessed?

After just one more day, your soul can return.

Except for the beginning of Possession, it seemed like I had a leisurely time, but at the end, one thing after another happened.

“Can I try the mind manipulation spell on Xian?”

That evening, the princess said something strange.
