◇ [Selas Ashlein] ◇
The leading man stopped and looked back.
"Master Muazi? How have you been?
The man behind whom the inquiry was thrown.
Looks like he's Muazi.
I wear a robe.
I can see with one eye that it's a better robe than the others.
A group of people in tattooed purple robes.
You'll be sure in Asynt.
Muazi said.
"Can you turn off the lights?
"Huh? Oh, yes! Hey, turn it off!
The lights go out.
Only the faint moonlight leaking slightly from the clouds remains.
Muazi asked.
"Did you notice before turning off the lights?
"Hey, what are you...?
"Right there."
"No... hey, I didn't notice anything"
"Only around there were a few branches broken. If you think about it normally, someone rushed in."
"So, hah!?
"I guess the fugitives are still lurking around here. Looks like you got caught in the first place."
"All right! You guys, go into the woods and find the leopard and the little girl!
"You don't have to. That would be a trap."
"Trap, is it!?
"The branch was deliberately broken."
"Intentionally...?
"Yes. I don't think anyone who used the" "to separate us from the leading private forces would make such a mistake. There's no way they can leave such blatant marks."
"I see."
"Looks like a smart opponent. We wouldn't miss a broken branch...... you've read that far. And if you step right into the woods, it's exactly what they think… there's a trap."
"That's right, Master Muazi... but I didn't know that leopard had that much wisdom..."
"Maybe it wasn't the leopards who set the trap"
"Huh?"
"I felt in person, Eve Speed didn't look like someone who worked out elaborate measures. As far as past stories go."
"Ho, you say you have other people?
"Yes, so you shouldn't think the enemy is just the leopard and the girl"
"Damn, it was a dangerous place... what would have happened if it weren't for Master Muazi..."
"Well, you've seen your way through, haven't you?
Muazi raised his hand.
"It's time to keep an eye out, why don't you come out?
Asints squeeze their bows.
"I know you're hiding there. It's not just bows and arrows that we have. There are ways to end up from a distance without filling the distance, or to broil it out. Even if you shield the trunk of a tree."
The moon appeared from the clouds.
It was Sellas Ashlein who showed up together.
She was wearing fly coverings.
Mouazi to loosen the corner of the mouth.
"Fly Swordsman, is it... you remind me of his subordination appearing in the legend of that Fly King. Well, they weren't female swordsmen."
Sellas' sword has already been pulled out.
As he remained silent, Muazi opened his mouth.
"I don't know who it is, but if you're going to hand over the Leopard and the girl to us honestly, promise me you won't take them to life."
Muazi spreads his hands wide.
"No, on the contrary, let's welcome you as part of Asynt. I can tell by standing. You look like an armed warrior. You must be a warrior with a name."
Sellas regains his sword.
"What if I said no to the suggestions that were made?
"It inflicts suffering from the curse. Such cruel suffering that I regret being alive."
…………
"Our curse is powerful, isn't it? Not even that Pendragon man could resist our curse."
"Are you sure you guys want the Pendragon?
"That's right. Before the curse,” mankind is the strongest ”and powerless. I think it would be wiser to be one of us than to scatter that life here at the end of suffering."
Sellas loosened his temple.
I look at Muazi with my speculative eyes.
After a while, she opened her mouth.
"Okay."
The thread of the muaji increases the angle.
"It's a smart choice."
"I don't think we can beat these few opponents, and it will be only a matter of time before we are found and caught"
"I also have the power to look at reality and read ahead. You have a great talent."
"But there is one condition."
"Let's hear it."
"Promise me the safety of Eve and the girl"
"We have a strong influence on the Duke family that is after you right now. Promises must be fulfilled."
"... fine. Now I'll show you to the leopard and the girl."
Return the heel.
"Follow me, everyone"
Cellas walks out.
The leading Asynt tried to continue.
Then,
"Na (...) ru (...) ru (...) ru (...) ru (...) ru (...) ru (...) ru (...)"
The muaji,
"Wait."
I stopped the subordination.
"Dear Muazi...?
Sellas stopped his leg.
"... something?
"You are not going to turn over the Leopards honestly. Right?"
Sellas did not answer the question.
Don't answer, flip.
Set up a sword.
"Why, did you notice...?
"I was uncomfortable with your words. You said" all ”earlier. But do we need to take them all? There should be no problem with a few people, such as escorts. Yet you tried to take us all into the woods."
Cerus bit the edge of his lip.
Muazi continues.
"No, in fact, you probably don't even need to pull it into the woods. For example, yes -"
A muaji that opens one eye.
"As long as we pull into the distance (...) within the distance (...) of some kind of shot (...), that would be good... or something?
"... cum"
"But on the contrary, that trap is pointless at this distance… everyone, take a distance and take an offensive stance"
Muazi raises his hand and directs.
"Maintain an offensive posture. Make sure you can fire an arrow at any time."
An arrow is directed towards Sellas.
She smiled, somewhat challengingly.
"Isn't it a curse you're good at, killing you?
Muazi returns a smile.
"Asint, who is here now, is a special unit of the eagle called the" Spellman. "
"A spell?
"Let me tell you something special. They are the successors to the Alliance of Assassins."
Sellas knew the name.
"Assassins, guilds..."
"Oh? You seem to remember your first name, don't you? This is unusual."
"It is my hobby to fish for old literature. But the Assassin Guild should no longer exist. Because -"
"Yes, the Assassin Guild was once almost eradicated by warriors from different worlds. The brave men who defeated the root evil and lost their main purpose made the Assassin Guild their next” evil ”."
Muazi keeps smiling.
"The brave men have crushed assassin guilds all over the continent one after another. Even then, the assassin guilders were chased, imprisoned and killed by the brave and their descendants. And as time went on, so did the existence of the Assassin Guild..."
Sellas also knew that as knowledge.
"Are you going to revive the Assassin Alliance?
"No, we're just replacing the job the Assassin Guild once took on. as a group of spellmen. Except..."
"The modus operandi is the same as that of the Assassin Alliance..."
"That's what happens"
The father of a man who could rub asint in a tavern in Monroy, Wang capital.
He fell and became unconscious while blowing bubbles.
It's not a curse.
Are your weapons poisonous?
"Yes, sir."
If you call me an assassin guild, the first thing that comes to mind is poison.
"Except we have advanced poisons that we can't easily see as poisonous. There's a wide variety of them, isn't there? From those to the extent of paralysis to immediate lethal poison. But these advanced poisons can only be made with the special formula that the descendants of the few but surviving assassination guilders had."
Muaji keeps rubbing his foot with the sole of his shoe.
"And most importantly, we end up leaving no trace... of what the Assassin Guild is best at"
Assassination with advanced poison without trace.
That was the identity of the ”spell” used by Asynt.
However, many countries prohibit possession of poisons per se.
Distribution on the face of it is also prohibited.
Certain two countries in particular strictly prohibit the possession and use of poisons.
The Principality of Yonato and the Kingdom of the Allion.
These two countries had certified the poison as ”evil".
Holders and users are severely punished.
"After the poisoning, after erasing its traces, you were hustling about the fruits of your assassination as a” spell "..."
It is a specially made poison that is difficult to identify as poison.
Naturally, you will also know how to get poison into your body without being noticed.
And by the assassin's technology, it's your own that erases the trace.
All of this completes the Curse.
Possession or use of poisons is prohibited in all countries.
Therefore they change their name to ”curse” and use it.
This concept of "curse” is troublesome.
An uncertain concept that cannot prove its existence.
But on the contrary, it can't even prove that it doesn't exist.
"That's how I danced in was one of the Black Dragon Knights in the example. Especially the death of the Pendragon."
Selas said, ahead of Muazi's words.
"Except for the curse beyond people's knowledge, I can't explain it"
"Great comprehension. Yes, so we dared to call ourselves the Black Dragon Killer. To make people believe in the existence of a curse."
Surely there is something unexplainable about killing the Pendragon.
”Who killed them?"
It wouldn't be thought that Sellas Ashlein could have beaten them.
On the contrary, in general, so much so that they think he's already dead.
As it stands, no one has thought of anyone who could have killed them.
No one is satisfied.
At the time, I knew nothing but those who were at the scene.
If so...
Thought it might be the power of the curse, but it's not strange.
"But do you not think that whoever killed the Pendragon will come into contact with you knowing your lies?
Muazi lifts his eyes like a snake.
"You don't seem to understand, do you? It's because of our curse that he beat the Pendragon, isn't it?
…………
No matter where you go, this can only be a watershed theory.
Thanks to the curse I was able to win.
Conversely, there is no way to prove that it is not the power of the curse.
This can be said to be unproven even by the person who killed the Pendragon.
In a way, invincible logic.
"No one can prove the absence of a curse or anything. The (...) force (...) or (...) of the curse (...) is also (...) and (...) is (...) (...). As long as that uncertainty persists, it's our victory, no matter what. Unless there is proof, in this world the insistent will prevail."
"Don't you think you'll be targeted for killing a real Pendragon warrior?
"Heh heh, even if someone like that shows up, you'll see a gap and assassinate him. Truth be told, even the Pendragon opponents think we could have won. It is true that Civito Gartland may have been the strongest in combat. But the truth is, the strongest fit in the world is the assassin. You don't have to fight squarely. Those who are good at killing with tactics and poison are, in fact, the strongest."
"… what is your purpose?
"Assassination will be gold. And many in the aristocratic world want to kill those who stand in the way. We're going to end up eating the Duke of Zuan into the heart of the country."
"While eliminating anyone who gets in the way, with an assassination?
"Yes, at the end of the day, we will have this country."
"Manipulating Ursa from behind," he said.
"It's going to happen."
(So you want to capture Eve and achieve merit in order to gain more access to the Duke's house... Here too, as Lord Toka reads...)
"By the way..."
Muazi asked.
"Where are the rest of us?
"Except Eve and the girl, I'm alone"
That's what Sellas replied.
but Muazi didn't believe it.
"It's just hard to think about dealing with us alone,"
Sellas rotated his head.
…………
Hands on your face.
For a moment, Asint tried to move on to the attack.
But Muazi controls it.
Cellas took off his fly cover while
"Explain why I think I can handle you all on my own."
Change, disarm.
"Because I am the one who survived confrontation with the Pendragon."
