“What was the information? ”

“It was written by the writer Apen--”

Mas suddenly flinched and stopped, answering his questions. Then I looked at the explanations with a worrying face.

“...? ”

After Mars's reaction, he had no choice but to wonder. I didn't understand why he suddenly reacted like that.

Do you... think you're a writer from Apenne? ’

Mas thought he was a Baron. I could think of myself as a man who wrote the Apostle.

“Don't worry, he's not even a writer. Tell him. ”

“Hehe, got it. ”

Perhaps Mars is the author of Apenn after all? I was thinking. At the end of the sentence, Mars opened his mouth and began speaking.

“According to my research... the author of Appen was sending assassins to the baron Magnus periodically. ”

“... what? Why?”

“I think it was meant to absorb the baron Magnus from the writer of Appen. ”

“Absorb? A writer by the name of Baron Magnus? ”

At the end, Mars nodded and continued.

“Yes, the writer seems to be absorbing the Baron Magnus and trying to promote him to the Earl. I've been promoted from a baron to a writer like this before... I'm sure of it. ”

Assassination.

It was good information that I didn't think of.

‘This can't be the end. ’

Sending the assassin, this can't be the end. There must have been something else behind it.

“In any case, Baron Magnus, Baron Beron, who has learned that the writer of Aphen is sending assassins, is using it to reverse the territorial warfare and preparing to absorb the writer. So the two families are now trying to absorb each other... and the Baron is going to start a territorial war soon. ”

At Mars' words, he nods. To be honest, it didn't matter whether or not the writer of Aphen and Baron Magnus were at war in the territory. What was important to him was information and evidence of corruption in the two families.

‘Let's just... see if Baron Magnus can make it. ’

According to the information I learned from Mars, I think I need to go to the baron's room to get proof. No, there must be evidence there, given that the children had gone missing after entering the baron's room and that the baron's clothes were stained with blood.

"The writer, Apenn..."

We're running out of information. Sending assassins to absorb the baron. And I've never known anyone to send an assassin to absorb other families before.

Swook

Myeonghu looked at Mars. Then he smiled.

“...? ”

Mars looked at him with a curious expression as he smiled at himself. Then he opened his mouth with anxious eyes.

“Why... do you? ”

“Can I ask you a favor? ”

At the end of the sentence, Mars sighed of relief for some reason. Then he smiled and replied.

“Hehe, of course. ”

“May I see some information about the Baron Veron commissioned by the writer, Aphen? ”

“Oh, of course! One moment, please! ”

Mas nods, saying that it will be. Then he gets up from his seat and walks to his desk and opens the drawer. And Mars, who made fun of his hand for a while, came back to the place where he found his name. Mars has two scrolls in his hand.

“Here you go. ”

After receiving the scroll from Mars, he began to read. The first scroll lists the information Mars told us about sending an assassin to the baron Magnus. The manifesto lowers the first scroll and starts reading the second scroll.

‘... Hmm. ’

After reading the scroll, he frowned slightly. It was not because of unpleasant information to read. Rather, he wanted the information to be written down, but the second scroll contained only information about the history, financing, and taxes of the writer, Apenn.

Swook

He lowered his scroll and looked at Mars.

“I'd like to make a request. ”

“Quest...? ”

“Yes”

After seeing Mas's curious expression, he nodded his head and began to speak.

“I need you to dig up more information on the author, Aphen. ”

“I don't know what information you're referring to...”

Mars glances at the end of his speech, blurring.

“You said that the writer of Aphen sent an assassin to the baron Magnus? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“Where the quested guild is, and many rumors. ”

“I already know where the guild commissioned by the author is. But the rumors...”

“Behind someone's back... or over-taxed. Such information.”

“Oh, I see. ”

You nod with a smile that Mars understands. Mars nodded and said.

“Where is the guild that commissioned by the author? ”

“Ah, the guild of assassins called the Black Claws. ”

“... what? Black nails?"

After Mars said, he had to be a little embarrassed.

“Yes, we don't know the exact location, but it is widely known that there is a headquarters in the capital Nexus. ”

“... ”

I couldn't say anything. In response, Mars opened his mouth and said.

“Let's find out where it is. ”

“Oh, no. There's no need to investigate the Assassin Guild. Investigate only the author of Appen. ”

When he came to his senses, he looked at him and said,

“Yes.”

“How much?”

After that, he opened his inventory to pay for the quest.

“Yes?”

Then Mars responded with a surprised expression. However, Mas's mouth was smiling in surprise. After seeing that smile, he opened his mouth with a smile.

“The cost of my commission. ”

“Haha, wait a moment! ”

Mars runs back to his desk with a big smile. After arriving at the desk, Mars pulls out scrolls and slabs from the desk. Then he looks at the scroll and starts bouncing off the ledge. Mas's expression flickers slightly.

“...? ”

After seeing Mas' face darkened, he tilted his head. Soon, Mas stopped bouncing the slab, lowering the slab and approaching Myeonghu. Myung Hu asked how much the quest cost as Mars approached.

“How much?”

“That's...”

However, Mars did not answer easily. In his reaction, he said again, frowning slightly.

“How much?”

When Myung Hu frowned, Mars cautiously opened his mouth.

“You have to give me... 150 gold.”

According to Mars, he took 150 gold from his inventory and handed it over to Mars.

“Here.”

“... Huh? ”

However, Mars did not receive the gold he was handing over immediately. I looked at the manifesto with a slightly surprised look.

“You're not answering?”

“Oh, no! With all due respect, I will also investigate and inform you of the servants of the author Apenn! ”

At the end of the sentence, Mars quickly shouted, receiving gold. Then a message appeared.

[You commissioned Mars, the Branch Head of Asren branch of the Thief Guild Boros.]

[Mars accepted the quest.]

When I saw the message, I didn't think Mars had to worry about splattering money. Myung Hu relaxed and looked back at Mas, smiling heavily in the message.

“How long will it take? ”

“Give me five days and you'll have all the information you need. ”

Mars smiled and replied with a clear question.

“Really? Then I'll be back. ”

“Yep!"

Now, after the business here was done, things happened on the spot. It was just then.

Boom!

“You're all right, Master! ”

A loud visit opens and someone comes in.

“Marron, you son of a bitch! What the hell are you doing? ”

It was Marbrun, the man at the counter, who came into the room. Mars reflects on Mavron's words and examines his reaction.

“Master! You have nothing to worry about! He's here!”

“Him..? Huh! He's here? ”

Mavron's words give Mas a surprised look. Then he frowned and continued.

“No, but this is not the situation you think it is! ”

“... Yes? ”

Mavron mutters in his expression, "What does that mean?"

Overwhelmed

After listening to the two conversations, he looked at the door with the sound of his feet in his ears. The man Mars and Mavron spoke of seems to be approaching.

“What happened? ”

Then he walked into the room through the door and said,

“... Huh? ”

After seeing him, I was a little embarrassed. He knew who Mars and Mavron were talking about, and he knew who he was.

“... Huh? ”

It was the same for him as well. He looked surprised at the manifesto and continued.

“Myeong-goon, what are you doing here...? ”

“I have a quest for you. What's up with Soma? ”

His identity was Soma. He said, looking at Soma with a still embarrassed expression.

“Oh, I see... I'm here for the quest too. ”

Mas and Mavron glanced at each other alternately in the conversation between Myeonghu and Soma, saying that they didn't understand the situation.

“How was your quest? ”

“Yes, I'm going now. ”

“I see. Please contact me if you have any problems with the quest! Let me help you. Haha. ”

“Oh, yeah. Haha..”

He replied with an awkward smile and looked at Mars.

“Then I'll be here in five days. ”

“Yep!"

When Mars nods and answers, Myeonghu takes a step and bows slightly to Soma before coming out. After coming out, I thought of walking to the baron Magnus.

"The author of Aphen, black fingernails, what's the connection?"
