Chapter 42. I Accept This Place (3)

When Ferda arrived, the battle was already underway.

Two men fighting with their necks cut off against a dagger. One of them appears to be an assassin wearing a mask.

But Ferda was not particularly interested in the battle of the two men.

There's only one person he noticed.

It was a boy in a bloody robe.

He limps back, somewhat small-looking. Suddenly, he abandons his companion and starts running away. And the moment the boy turned around. I can see the boy's hidden face beyond the hood.

‘That! ’

Different coloured eyes.

The right eye was blue like the sea and the left eye was dark amber.

That's not all that's unusual. Although I put deep pressure on the hood, I could see the cat's ears rising above my head as I turned around.

I suddenly remembered the contents of the 8th round of these two characteristics.

There was one fierce thief in the Kingdom of Laderon who was talented enough to say that nothing could be stolen from the world.

A boy with the colors of the sky in one eye and the earth in the other. Born a hybrid of Humans and Catfishmen, he lived in humiliation, but now he is called the King of Thieves.

The faithful heart of the silverware arcade, Kalman Seed.

Odd Eye and Cat Ear that looked sharp even though they were short.

Based on this, Ferda was convinced. The boy who just passed by is one of the three talents Yoo Baek Hyun said.

‘I can't believe I found it so fast. ’

Ferda's eyes are covered in debris.

At the same time, there was one concern.

‘But the timing is too fast. ’

Currently, Ferda arrived in the capital a month ahead of Yoobaek Hyun, the eighth time. In other words, Yoo Baek Hyun was at least a month ahead of when he picked up Kalman Seed.

‘There might be variables that you don't know about. ’

A month will change a lot of things. Especially when the South has turned into an outlaw. As you think about making changes to your plan, you hear Hassane's voice.

“That guy must be in bed with the masked man. ”

“What?"

“Look at that funny face. ”

There was a battle between the puppet-eyed and the masked. And as soon as she saw this, she realized what she was talking about. That's what he said when he saw an attack that didn't have a murder in it.

“Never mind. It's destiny to die anyway. ”

Once he decided to take Kalman, his enemies were Ferda's enemies.

Ferda turns away after a cold word.

“What about Kalman Sid? ”

“If you're talking about the kid, he's on the move. ”

“I'm going after them. Don't worry about the rest of them. ”

Ferda's feet hit the ground again.

Shortly after, the group finds Kalman speeding through the back alley. While you chase after him for a moment, Hashin clears his ears.

“There's a group of about 30 across the street chasing the boy. ”

“I know. I felt the same way. ”

“Shouldn't we take care of it now? ”

Hassane's eyes widen. Ferda ponders for a moment. Is it okay to intervene now? Wouldn't it be right to just leave him alone if we wanted to make things easier for him?

After a while, I made up my mind.

“Let's wait and see. ”

If it was meant to kill Kalman, he would have killed him by now. They have that kind of power and numbers. But keeping Kalman alive after doing such a farce means there's something different to the plan.

That's why Ferda stepped on Kalman's back. It was with 30 uninvited guests. After arriving at a shabby mansion, I sent in uninvited guests first. Then he walks quietly, clearing his posture.

Soon after, Ferda's eyes glitter.

‘Here · · · · · · ·. ’

It's like an anthill in the basement.

It was very similar to the description of a place in the 8th place. Before Yoo Baek Hyun arrived in the capital, the organization was destroyed by the Assassins in the east. It was an information guild site.

"I can't believe that Kalman Sid was involved with the Information Guild. ’

I didn't think of it. It wasn't mentioned in the original.

I was interested in new facts and moved on.

I can see Kalman from afar. But there was someone next to him. I thought you might be a survivor of the Information Guild, but you're not human after all.

‘· · · · · · Bear? ’

It is also a bear walking on two legs. I even noticed that I was wearing glasses, which made me feel strange. Looking at the bear with embarrassed eyes.

Wait, you're saying it's a bear? ’

When you say bear, something pops up.

It's when Yoo Baek Hyun mentions Kalman. At that time, Yoo Baek Hyun explained how to harvest Kalman Seed. And I must have said,

Kalman Sid had a terrible vengeance. I lost my father to the Lekka Assassins, but if I stimulate that part, I'll get over it soon.

One interesting fact is that a bear like his father walks on two legs. At the time, I just took it as a joke, but then again, I didn't think it was a joke.

The last words were taken in ridicule.

But when I saw the bear in action with Kalman, I realized it wasn't a joke. Ferda frowns lightly.

‘I thought there would be variables, but · · · · · · · ·. ’

The original plan was to provoke Kalman's vengeance with Yoo Baek Hyun's advice, and bring him to justice. By the way, I don't think it's time for revenge yet.

‘This is a little awkward. ’

As long as that bear is alive, Kalman will have no vengeance. Then Yoo Baek Hyun's advice becomes useless.

Do I have to wait until I die? ’

I've been having these horrible thoughts.

Haeshin suddenly taps his arm. When Ferda turns away from her thoughts, Hassane points to the front without a word. Suddenly, I see assassins confronting Kalman.

Heave-ho!

With the sound of arrows being loaded into crossbows.

A few arrows are lodged in the bear's torso. The original target was Kalman, who appeared to have been beaten up trying to protect him.

Kuoooo!

Following that, the barrier comes down, and the assassins unleash ferocious violence against it to break it down. After seeing the scene, Ferda constantly thought. Should I intervene, or should I intervene?

At that time, Hassane touched him again.

"Are you just going to sit here and watch? ’

Seeing the shape of his mouth that was squirming, he seemed to say so.

So as soon as I tried to answer that I was thinking about it, the barrier broke. Later, Kalman's face was filled with tears in Ferda's eyes.

Twitch

The moment I saw him, my eyebrows were flinching.

It was only for a moment that Kalman showed his true colors. I didn't know why. Maybe he's about the same age, maybe he's about the same build.

All that matters is the moment I saw Kalman in action.

All the hesitation that I had ever had disappeared like snow.

“I'm in.”

After a short sentence, Ferda draws a scrub.

Hashin reaches out to you as if he was waiting. Suddenly, the wind spirits appeared and flew into the battlefield as one.

“Damn it, don't let him get away! Shoot!”

The arrow is fired when the pupils scream.

But the arrow stops in midair before it reaches Kalman. The wind spirits caught all the arrows. The Dark Elves, including Ferda, enter the battlefield when enemies panic in a sudden situation.

The battle was quick. The victory and defeat was fixed when the Dark Elves didn't even notice.

Defeat all enemies except the puppeteer. Ferda put the master back in the stables. Then the bear sits on the floor, dumbfounded and mutters.

“C, what the hell are you? ”

“I'll take it from here. ”

I smiled at the bear and Kalman.

Then he said with a cold smile.

“If you have a complaint, say it now. ”

I saw overwhelming power right in front of my eyes. There's no way I'm complaining. The evidence is that the bear can only tremble and say nothing. Ferda reaches out to him with a bloody smile. I wanted to ask you something.

Then something else appeared instead of complaining.

“Cough! Cough! Hrrrgh. ”

“Boss!”

What popped out was a black blood clot.

While he was in a hurry to raise the bear, Ferda's eyes sparkled with interest.

Organization's site for information handling.

Calling the boss there meant that the owner of the Information Guild was this bear.

“Wait a little longer! I just took my meds. ”

When Carmen, who had checked the wound, was about to turn in a hurry,

The bear grips his arm tight. Then, I continued to stutter with a slight trembling eye.

“· · · · · · · There was poison, poison, on the arrow. I-I was wrong. ”

“What's wrong with that! There has to be something we can do. Don't give up!”

I tried to yell at him, but he realized half the time.

There's very little chance of survival.

He will, too. The wound is already starting to die. I feel too much blood and the boss' strength fading.

Meanwhile, the bear looks at Ferda, rolling its eyes as if lifting its head was too much.

“I don't know who, but thank you. Really, thank you. ”

A gracious greeting flowed from my slowly stiffening lips. Whether it looked pathetic or not, the dew settles around Kalman's eyes. Then the bear lets out a dying breath.

“And, sorry, but, Carl, Munn, please · · · · · · ·. ”

When I tried hard to connect the last words.

Ferda talks indifferently.

“If I were you, I could save you. ”

“ · · · · · ·!? ”

“So tell me. ”

Ferda grins, looking at her big eyes.

“If you survive, what can you do for me? ”

It's good to create a new Guild of Information, but it's even better if you use your existing organization. It will save us a lot of time, most of all. But Ferda had no intention of saving the bear with unpaid wages.

‘This is a deal. ’

They say it's a matter of life. Of course, I was going to get a high price. So I waited for the bear's answer with a lazy face.

Then, an answer came out of the wrong place.

“I'll do anything to save the boss! ”

It was Kalman next to the bear.

Ferda frowns slightly at his sudden intrusion.

“I'm not asking you. ”

“I could swear on the spirit of Cardilanto. Oh, or any other oath! So, please, just save the boss! ”

Kalman falls flat on the ground.

The cat's ears and eyes are revealed as the hood moves backwards, but it doesn't matter. I barely got my head down on the ground, so I started to beg, grabbing Ferda's feet.

“· · · · · · The boss is a family I shouldn't have. ”

I know. That's why you had such fierce vengeance. In the eighth round, you destroyed all the members of the Dark Ages and assassinated some of the nobles behind them.

“I'll do whatever you say, so please, boss man! ”

Kalman's voice cries out.

Meanwhile, Ferda looks at him with her eyes wide open. When you think about it calmly, it's a tremendous advantage. You can get the Guild Intel, the Chief, and even Kalman for saving the bear.

So I made a decision soon.

“I understand. I'll let you live. ”

“Really? ”

“Okay, hold on a second. ”

Ferda's words drop, and Kalman steps aside coldly.

At the same time, I pulled out three or four bottles of healing potions from my inventory. Potions would have been enough if it weren't for poison, but for now, it's first to get rid of the poison.

Ferda, who decided to do so, chose the greatest defender. Then he began cutting the venomous flesh at a rapid rate around the wound. In this sudden scene, Kalman screams in surprise.

“W-what are you doing?! ”

“I'm removing the poison from the area. ”

But it wasn't just the removal. No matter how much blood you shed, even bears are dangerous, so I used potions at the right time.

About ten minutes from it.

Ferda strips the flesh from the slaughterhouse.

“Cutting this much won't kill you, since you're so fat. ”

An indifferent murmur flows out.

Like Ferda said, the bear fainted in pain, but didn't die. The evidence was that the regular heartbeat returned and the steadily changing breath sounds.

“Boss · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Kalman grips the bear's arm with tears.

Shortly after, Kalman gets up from his seat and kneels before Ferda.

“· · · · · · Thank you for saving the boss. ”

The first thing I did was change my voice.

With his pointed cat ears pointed, he crashes his head into the ground.

“I'll do whatever Eun-gong asks me to do. ”

Perfect submission.

Ferda smiles in satisfaction at the sight.

“Okay, then I'll give you your first instructions, Kalman. ”

“Tell me.”

“The men who raided this place, do you know where they are? ”

“Uh, I know the location. ”

Why are you asking me that all of a sudden?

Kalman's eyes are like that. But the answer never came back. Turning away, Ferda pointed to the way out.

“Lead on.”

At that moment, Ferda's scabbard is drawn.

Then came a sentence that sounded like a death sentence.

“I'm going to hunt them all down before tonight is over. ”

And that night.

The Assassins who controlled the south have been rooted and killed.
