Chapter 038. The King of Knights (2)

I woke up at almost 5pm.

The time when the shadows gradually lengthen.

“… … .”

I glanced out the window and drew the curtains.

“There was something.”

Wandering around late last night, I couldn’t find the trickle myself.

However, on the riverside, I found the man who had stolen the ring from me yesterday, dead with his head lost.

I confirmed that suspicious people were roaming around here.

They were normal humans, not demons, but they all wore the same ring I stole.

I was certain of their identities here.

‘There is no law that only demons are enemies.’

Rather, in the case of assassins, it is easy to detect due to the color of their hair the moment they become a demon, so they are often used after brainwashing instead of becoming a demon.

I followed and looked at the one with the best stealth among the dogs, and confirmed that they memorized the structure and movement of the guards around here.

I don’t know who he’s aiming for, but that doesn’t matter anymore.

‘Remove everything.’

It is different from the case of Hwaran.

Because now I had a ring that they use as a sign.

If you do this, you can cause confusion by dealing with only as much as you can handle, rather than dealing with hundreds of people at once.

‘7 days left.’

In this amount of time, my ability now is more than enough to produce tangible results.

It was time for the sun to set after an hour or two, so I washed up and went outside.

As I walked along, I saw a poster in the hallway and muttered.

“Uriel won.”

It is a fairly high-level competition, but the result was 4 wins out of 4 matches on the 1st day.

Looking at what she did, it seemed that she could easily win the championship if external factors did not work.

The cadet who won the tournament had the opportunity to compete with the swordsman John, so the significance was by no means small.

Especially for Uriel.

Based on the experience gained at this time, she grows several steps further.

‘If Ian was a complete character, Uriel was a growth type.’

So it was a difficult resource to handle, but at the same time, it felt like a lottery that might explode.

What is certain is that the growth threshold is much higher than that of Ian or the High Elf Knights.

Maybe it should be compared with Kale at the limit.

This is by no means an exaggeration.

This is because I have never been able to grow her to the end while playing the game.

‘Although the reason was that it wasn’t a resource I liked so much.’

Personally, I preferred raising Ian rather than Uriel, who had uncertainty.

Of course, now is not the time to ask for that.

“There he is.”

Just in time, I saw Yuriel training at the gymnasium in the distance.

Her face was hard to see from the distance, but she was recognizable thanks to her characteristic azure hair color.

‘you’re good.’

I watched her hard work with a happy expression.

Due to her unique ups and downs, she was nicknamed a lotto-type NPC among users, but she was at least as good as an A-class NPC, no matter how much she didn’t explode.

This is probably due to the continuous efforts that have been made.

“… … .”

I thought about meeting him for a while, but I didn’t because he was already immersed in training.

When I was about to turn around like that.

“hmm?”

Someone was watching her from a distance behind her.

A gaze so secret that Yuriel, who is very sensitive to the other person’s gaze, did not notice.

“… !”

I was surprised to think that the assassin had already penetrated the inside, but I soon found out that it was not.

Fair skin and light green eyes that make it hard for pointed ears.

‘Elf? ah.’

Come to think of it, did you say that the Seven Swords of Elvenheim came as a guest?

Sigrun’s face was different from what I remembered, so he seemed to be her lieutenant.

‘… Are you observing?’

Elves tend to ask directly if they have any questions.

When I see him secretly hiding and watching like that, it feels like he’s investigating the other person.

I looked at it for a moment and then retook my steps.

‘not bad.’

I don’t know why you’re interested, but that didn’t cause me to worry.

If I recall the character of the elf race and the personality of Sigrun I know, it probably wasn’t malicious.

Rather than that, I think it was because Yuriel showed a good performance in Dalian on the 1st day, and interest arose.

Of course not, but whatever the reason, Uriel will be safe while the high elves are watching.

‘That’s enough for now.’

Anyway, even if I tried to investigate Yuriel now, nothing was found.

“… good.”

Like yesterday, I climbed out of the inn over the wall and climbed to the top of the clock tower, where no one goes.

“… … .”

I waited for the sun to set like that, and by the time the son-in-law got dark.

Wearing a ring and wearing a robe, he blended into the darkness.

* * *

Bassrock.

Everyone stopped moving at the sound of a nearby trash can.

“… No. 37. open it.”

The man who was walking the most ahead looked this way with a nervous expression and said.

On his index finger was a ring engraved with the number 4 in red.

“yes.”

jump!

“What are you doing… !”

When he opened it carelessly, he twisted his expression in surprise.

Meow~

And the cat, who was even more surprised than that, ran out of the trash can.

“Hmmm. Was it a cat?”

“yes.”

“But just in case, be careful next time.”

“All right.”

After a small incident, we started moving again.

I rolled my eyes under the mask and checked the numbers of the 4 members except for me.

‘No. 4, 7, 21, 33.’

I don’t know how many numbers there are, but my number was the biggest here.

‘hmm.’

It seems to be the organization of Gunne, a dark elf assassin, I guess.

As for the way to operate non-Mine people separately, when it comes to Dark Elves who infiltrated the Empire at this time, nothing else came to mind.

‘I don’t know what he’s going to do yet.’

Still, I was able to melt into them by acting 37 times without notice.

“How complete is the map?”

“About 90%. I will be able to return after finishing it within today.”

Answering number 7, number 4 put on a worried expression for a moment.

However, as if he had given an estimate, he gave me an order with chin number 33.

“Let the two of you look inside while the rest stand guard.”

Inside, the higher the number, the higher the status, so even though he was entrusted with a dangerous mission, he silently accepted number 33.

“… All right. Tsk. Follow me.”

However, I couldn’t help but feel annoyance mixed with the eyes looking at me.

‘under.’

On the subject of map number 33?

I was dumbfounded at the pointless venting of my anger, so I burst out laughing inside.

‘You are dead.’

With that thought in mind, I chased after him.

… Of course it doesn’t really kill.

After making this guy a member of my family, I have to extract the information.

“Be careful and follow me.”

“… … .”

We quietly left the shady alley and moved to the inn where the cadets from each country were sleeping.

Took! Took!

I stomp my feet lightly, climb over the wall, and climb to a high place.

Number 33, who killed the presence, said after looking around.

“good. There is no one around.”

“Oh yeah?”

“… what?”

He turned around with a stern expression in an instant at my sudden short talk.

“Is this crazy, huh?!”

A hand that stretched out like lightning covered his mouth tightly.

“M-flow… !”

When he shuts his mouth, he begins to rebel as a natural reaction.

Indeed, his strength was superior to that of number 37, who had already died, but it was not as good as me, who had grown remarkably after the battle with Hwaran.

“I will be quiet.”

Wooddeuk!!!

The resistance was quite strong, such as trying to bite my hand, so I pulled out my jaw.

“Kuuu!!!”

He let out a suppressed scream in tremendous pain.

He could tell how much pain he was in just looking at his red-hot eyes standing bloodshot in real time.

‘What does it matter?’

As I said to Noah before, I don’t particularly think that all lives are precious.

There are definitely guys who deserve to die.

Like this guy who was born as a human and grabbed the hand of a monster with his own will.

“I should have lived a good life.”

“Ugh, uh uh… !?”

“Open your mouth.”

After opening the boy’s mouth, he stuffed a dry cloth into it so he wouldn’t scream.

Tears well up in the eyes of the guy who cries at the cloth that is pushed up to his throat.

I looked down at the fear-filled face and said.

From noble mtl dot com

“Be patient. Then I’ll give you a new life.

“Huh… ?”

“Of course you won’t live long.”

Fu-wook!

As soon as he finished speaking, he pierced his fangs.

The guy didn’t scream like Müller’s time, probably because he didn’t have demonic energy in his body.

“Ahh… .”

On the contrary, he turned his eyes white and let out an incomprehensible moan from time to time.

how long has it been like that

“Write.”

I removed my mouth from the boy’s neck.

I passed the red blood from the corner of my mouth down my throat and pulled out the cloth I had stuffed into my mouth 33 times.

“Do you know who I am?”

“Rod, it’s Rod. Ahh… ”

“I will give you an order.”

“Tell me.”

He gave the order with a satisfied smile at the sight of the perfect follow-up.

“Tell me everything. what you know.”

In an effect close to brainwashing, Number 33 blew everything she knew.

“We are an assassination organization operating in the form of a dotted organization.”

“The leader is a dark elf.”

“Right now, there are 22 Dark Elves, and the number of other demons and killers is unknown.”

can’t you know?

“yes. It’s such a structure. Gunne only knows the number of Dark Elves, but he probably doesn’t know much below.”

It seems that it was made in the form of a point organization on purpose for survival rather than organizational power.

Thanks to that, he was able to survive even within the Empire.

“and… .”

33 explanations followed.

From the fact that power was recently replenished from outside and that this plan came down in an unusually hasty manner.

‘I don’t know anything exactly.’

He was also at the bottom, so he didn’t know much.

Aside from figuring out the number of Dark Elves, there was virtually no information on how to use it.

But in the end, I learned something really important.

It’s about the assassination target.

“Lastly, Uriel Flandre is the target we were given.”

“… !!”

I doubted my ears for a moment.

Of course, I thought that Uriel could be dangerous, but… .

“She is the duchy of the Kingdom of Teria… .”

“stop.”

At my chilly voice, number 33 immediately stopped the briefing.

“… under.”

A mischievous laugh leaked out from his lips. At the same time, downy hair stood up on his forearm in a chilling feeling.

‘While targeting the Knights Faculty cadets, Yuriel wasn’t included… .’

If it wasn’t like that, if the order had been given by just picking out Yuriel.

If so, this can never be a judgment of the gunne.

In the first place, he wouldn’t have any information about Uriel right now.

‘This is an order from at least the leader level.’

I was convinced of this

That a change I didn’t know happened in a place I didn’t know.

It is also a significant change that twists the development of the main scenario.

“sh*t.”

The moment I realized that the matter was much bigger than I thought, a soft curse came out.

After a while, I came to my senses and said.

“What are the dark elves doing?”

Apparently, tonight was going to be a longer night than I thought.
