Episode 14

As expected, the acting governor was not particularly surprised.

It seemed that he had a relatively accurate grasp of my realm.

“Yes.”

“I’ve heard of such a place, but that doesn’t prove your innocence.”

“Sure.”

Even though he said something negative, when he answered calmly, Kairam’s one eye narrowed.

It looked like it could see through everything, but it was impossible to know what I was thinking.

‘You seem to have a lot in your head, but this is a very simple topic, isn’t it?’

Currently, the elders standing on the medical officer’s podium are all from the acting governor.

As I said earlier, this trial was up to Kairam’s judgment.

In other words, it meant that if you persuaded only one person, you could get away without incident.

I shrugged my shoulders lightly and looked up at the podium.

“Have you seen me, Acting Governor, about a year ago?”

“I handed you a red plaque to commemorate your promotion.”

“What was my level at that time?”

“……It was Tier 5.”

Kairam paused for a moment before answering with a slight nod of his head.

He seemed to already know what I was talking about.

“Then what about now?”

“It looks like the second half of Tier 4.”

The elders only guessed my level after unfolding the wheel, but she got it almost the same.

To be precise, I was standing at the end of Tier 4 and looking at Tier 3, but the details didn’t matter.

I spread my hands out with a relaxed expression.

“Has anyone here done as well as I did?”

Of course, no one had such skills before they turned twenty.

Oh right. Except for one person.

“Of course, the acting head of household must have had a much better youth than me.”

In fact, I didn’t really know how Kairam grew up.

However, there was no need to scratch the nerves of the person who could control this board.

‘I’d appreciate it if you could offset my pride with one word of mouth.’

In fact, I rose through my agent ranks very quickly.

Even though he adjusted his force to avoid revealing Riverrun’s secret technique, he showed results far exceeding his motives.

It’s just that it wasn’t properly conveyed to Black Rin’s Island because it was an evaluation that only happened between level 2 or lower agents.

The audience was enveloped in silence.

What broke the terrible silence was the elder’s voice, who had been quietly observing the situation.

“Ray has been promoted almost as fast as Mitra. The evaluation on the field is also good.”

30 factor assassinations on level 2 difficulty.

In less than half a year, I had achieved all the achievements required to become a first-class agent.

This was similar to Kairam’s first child, Mitra.

Mithra was the best among the young agents of the Landsvalger family, so I couldn’t say I hid my realization.

“Did you challenge the tower just to become stronger?”

“Somehow, time seems to have flowed differently from outside. I only stayed there for half a day.”

“That’s hard to believe.”

Kairam seemed to be in deep anguish.

Looking at her like that, I smiled inwardly.

‘With the ability of the devil’s grandmother, this level of flaws can be dealt with, right?’

Suddenly, her half-closed red eyes flashed open.

It looked like he was finally about to make a decision.

“Even if it wasn’t intentional, it’s true that you broke the rules.”

“yep.”

“Promotion postponement for 1 year. During the grace period, I will disqualify my immediate family. In addition, I will be given a special mission execution order. More than that.”

One of the elders, questioning her remarks, implied a question.

“If it’s a special mission…”

Then Kairam smiled meaningfully and took out a bunch of reports.

“I intend to entrust this to you.”

“Ah! That’s a wise decision.”

I could understand the suspension of promotion and disqualification, but I couldn’t figure out what the order to perform the special mission was.

As I looked at her questioningly, she snapped her finger and walked out.

It meant follow me.

I put my luggage on my shoulder and went straight ahead.

While completely ignoring the complex eyes of the crowd.

It was very fortunate that he proved his innocence.

The question was what the special mission was.

‘If you put it only in performance, what does it matter? Wouldn’t it be the end if I just wiped it off?’

I moved to the governor’s office with a light heart.

However, Kairam’s disposition was not so easy.

* * *

At the southwest end of the Revyus continent, there was the Kingdom of Railhash.

Railhash’s recent domestic situation has been quite complicated.

It was because the king was bedridden without appointing a successor.

‘Prince 1, Prince 2 blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Hey, don’t read it!’

I threw away all the materials related to the special mission.

The information on the political world of the Railhash Kingdom was densely written, but he didn’t even look at it.

‘This is a problem for assassins. How detailed are you? No efficiency. efficiency.’

I was currently dispatched to the southwestern part of the Bertos Empire.

Kairam said he would test my loyalty after seeing the results of the special mission.

It meant extenuating circumstances if the mission was performed well without any harm.

But the reality was a little different.

‘The other agents throw in a mission that everyone avoids, and what about a special mission? It’s just called demotion.’

She decided to pass on the troublesome request and turn a blind eye to this incident.

The agent requested by the Kingdom of Railhash was of a special rank or higher, so it was an appropriate request for me to take on.

The content of the mission is to protect the factor.

It was to safely send Prince Raoul of Railhash to the Principality of Caliburn at the northeastern end of the Beldom Alliance.

In the dark, escorts had to be avoided unconditionally.

It’s obvious that you will go through hardships, but who will support you?

That’s also the top-level agents who are limited.

“Still, he was very considerate. Is this not a bad result?”

There was virtually no one-year postponement of promotion and no disciplinary action to disqualify the direct rank.

Anyway, after completing this mission and taking a break, a year would have passed.

Multi angle! Multi angle!

‘come.’

While waiting quietly on the expected route, three wagons were approaching in a row.

It seemed that they were the three princes heading to the Caliburn principality.

I quietly followed them, keeping a reasonable distance.

It’s called a special mission, but it was really boring.

If we camped for several days, we had to procure food and drinking water on our own, and we couldn’t be away for long.

I had to do a separate reconnaissance to see if there were any threats around.

‘A high school student like this should count as more than two first-degree murders.’

Feeling the exhaustion of the mission myself, I watched the three princes and their party.

But, somewhere, the unusual sound of horse hooves began to be heard.

Doo doo doo!

At the group of people descending from the north along the trade route, I kept my head out and watched the progress.

If it was a group that didn’t matter, there was no need to touch it.

Unfortunately, the cavalry squad seemed to have business with the three princes.

“Quickly organize and deviate from the trade route!”

“let’s go!”

Doo doo doo!

As the earth-shattering sound of horses’ hooves rumbled past, I immediately spat out a word mixed with displeasure.

“Oh, please let’s go quietly. You rotten bastards.”

The cavalry was already approaching the three princes’ party.

The number of raiding groups was too large, and even the terrain was unfavorable.

If left as it is, it would probably do a lot of damage.

Support was unavoidable.

‘If you look at them as soon as they enter an open place, they’re just a bunch of them.’

I sprayed my right hand at the assailants.

Then, the two throwing knives cut through the air in a strange curve.

shhh! Shih!

“Well?”

“Suck!”

Quaching! visor!

The two assailants, who were about to launch a coordinated attack on the three princes, quickly raised their shields.

Surprisingly, it sensed my secret arts, and even reacted properly.

Just looking at the response in the midst of the hassle, I could get a glimpse of the level of the assailants.

‘Five! Are you doing something?’

However, what I developed was not just an ordinary secret magic trick.

Each ska! Puff!

“Cuck!”

“Kuk!”

The moment they collided, the knife trembled wildly and fell over the slope of the shield.

It was like a fish swimming and avoiding obstacles.

Two assailants lost their lives to two daggers.

‘This is the best result in the first real battle.’

I succeeded in incorporating Brutal Short’s technique into Pyoyunbido.

Only the detouring function of the Brutal Shot was taken out and grafted onto Pyoyunbido.

This technique was named Hoeryeonbido (回鰊飛刀).

As I entered the stage of perfect Tier 4, it felt like the fusion of secret skills became a little easier.

Shih! shhh!

I once again spread the Hoeryeonbido toward the assailants approaching the 3rd prince.

“Ugh!”

Chaeeng! Sugagak! jump!

This guy also reflexively swung his sword to block the sniping.

However, as soon as he collided with the sword body, he lost his life due to Hoeryeonbido, which changed direction.

The throwing knife was properly inserted into the neck.

dump!

“ah…….”

The 3rd prince made a dizzying expression when he saw the assailants collapsing around him.

It was because he was in the middle of a fierce battle with those who rushed from the front, so he couldn’t care about his back.

However, it was not possible to identify the party who threw the dagger.

Because the attackers who provoked the melee isolated only the three princes.

“Who is helping me?”

It was a confusing situation, but the 3 princes vaguely noticed the presence of an assistant.

It seemed like he was a pretty good guy.

shhh!

“die!”

However, it was still a fierce battle situation, so there was no time to continue thinking.

Chae Chaeng!

“Keugh!”

The three princes fought hard, repelling the attacks of the attackers.

Despite the unfavorable war situation, he was quite calm.

‘The improvisation is considerable. He has good posture and knows how to use his head. And… … . Aren’t you lucky?’

Coincidentally, Raul was running near the bush where I was hiding.

I came here on my own, but I’m sorry if you don’t respond.

I immediately took out three throwing knives and threw them.

Hyung Lee was practicing the art of sleeping, so no one could detect my presence.

Hey profit! shhh! Furbuck!

The Hoiryeonbido, which flew straight ahead, lodged precisely in the necks of the three assailants.

There was no need to show a sudden bending movement after the collision.

It was because they didn’t even notice the throwing knives coming.

Apparently, the attack started from a fairly close distance, so it didn’t seem to have heard it.

Three comrades fell off their horses out of nowhere, but the rest of the raiders didn’t care at all.

I clicked my tongue inwardly at the appearance of a skilled assassin.

‘no way. Why are you reacting so badly?’

The attackers were already close to the 3 princes.

If left as it is, the distance would be too far away to support them properly.

In the end, I had to deal with them with swordsmanship, not Hoiryeonbido.

‘Shall we raise the plate? Come on, player position.’
