00371 59. Kidnapping

* * * *

“A knight named Yadra of the Imperial Knights. ”

“I see, I see. ”

“I'll be going, then. ”

After bowing his head and greeting Alcan, he left the office.

‘Let's go. ’

After arriving from the Oval Office, he immediately left the Imperial Palace and began to turn and walk to the outskirts. After a while, Nam Hu was able to reach the outskirts.

“This location...”

After arriving on the outskirts, the inventory was opened. Then I took out the map and checked its current location.

“Here it is.”

After confirming his current location, he followed the route to the red point where Bloody's branch was located.

“Just turn left at the third distance. ”

Bloody's location is not far from where he is now. After seeing the map, he began to move slowly.

Jubbuck!

After a while, the manifesto stopped walking.

‘This place.'

After stopping, he turned his gaze on the map and looked forward. In front of the post was a fairly large, rugged-looking building.

‘Bloody Helioca Branch. ’

As far as the map shows, this was the Helioca branch building of Bloody. Did you come to the wrong place? On second thought, he once again checked the map and surrounding buildings.

‘Good to see you. ’

Myeonghu opened his inventory and put the map. He then walked into Bloody's Heliocar branch building with a happy smile.

Profit

[Guild Assassin Bloody - You have entered Helioka Branch.]

As you open the door and go inside, a message appears.

“Who are you?”

At the same time, a man appeared in front of Myung Hu and asked Myung Hu. Myeonghu opened his mouth, looking around at the man's question.

“This is the Bloody Guild Helioka Branch, right? ”

“... Yes? ”

The man looked a little surprised when he stopped asking questions. Then quickly, he opened his mouth and replied with an expression saying, "What does that mean?"

“I don't know what it is, but it's not here. ”

“Haha.”

When the man said no, he laughed out loud. It was on the map, and above all, the message was clear. The man's words were a lie.

“... ”

The man's face was slightly stiffened by the sound of his smile. Then the man swiftly took out a small dagger from his sleeve and swung it at Myung Hu.

Wheaties

Of course, when the man's face was stiffened, he had already noticed that he had lightly avoided the flying dagger.

“Huh, I don't know how you got here, but you're done for the day. ”

When Myung Hu dodged the attack, the man smiled and stepped back.

Profit and gain

Was it a sign that the man retreated? As soon as the man retreats, an enormous number of memories start flying in from all over.

“Pulse of Blood”

After seeing the memory fly, he cast a pulse of blood. And I slowly started to move.

[You were struck by a superior paralysis.]

[The saliva bounced off.]

[Do not faint.]

A message appeared in the memory. Memory, as expected, did no harm to the manifesto.

“Knng!”

“Khhh!”

[You defeated Korem, the guild member of the Assassin's Guild Bloody.]

[Only Reputation +2.]

[You defeated the Guild Member ‘Parta’ of the Assassin's Guild Bloody.]

[Only Reputation +2.]

Then a message begins that the guild members who are standing in the blood wave range have been killed. There is a quest to kill the Station Head, so even if you were attacked, you did not receive a message that you were entering a hostile state.

“Kuaak!”

“Huff!”

As he listens to the screams of the Bloody Guild members, he opens the quest window.

< Guild Assassin Bloody >

It was the Assassin's Guild ‘Bloody’ that kidnapped Levil, a clue we found in Arhan's room. Visit the Bloody branch of the Helioca Empire!

[Helioka Imperial Branch Head: 0/1]

‘Where is it? ’

The reason Myeonghu came here was because of the quest.

‘I need to catch the branch director. ’

Killing guild members does not complete the quest. The quest must be completed by killing the Station Leader who will be here.

‘It's worth the scream. ’

Screams are never small. However, there were no branch chiefs in the screams.

‘If the quest hasn't changed, I'm sure it's here. ’

If you had run away, the quest would have changed.

Do you think if you go inside, you'll come out? ’

He turned his head and looked inside. Then he closed the quest window and began to walk back inside.

* * * *

Arhan, first deputy knight of the Imperial Knights and head of the Helioca Empire of Guild Bloody, is currently wandering around the room in a bewildered manner.

Where did he go? ’

Arhan was wandering around because of one thing.

"What the..."

No matter how much I looked, I couldn't find what I was looking for.

I shouldn't be without it.

It was more important than life.

Did you spill it in the Imperial Palace? ’

Suddenly Arhan frowns.

‘Possibly. ’

I ran away from the Imperial Palace in such a hurry. The possibility was sufficient.

What do we do? ’

I was wondering if I should return to the Imperial Palace and look for the item.

‘If you go back on vacation, you may be suspicious. ’

Arhan is currently on vacation. I sold my father who didn't exist and took a vacation. If I went back now, I would be suspicious, and most of all, it would not be easy to get out again.

I can't not go.

But I couldn't help it.

It was just then.

“Knng!”

“Huff!”

As Arhan decides not to go, the screams begin to spread.

“...? ”

Arhan glances at the door with a curious expression of screaming in his ears.

What the...

Why are you suddenly hearing screams?

Is that what you think of the Emperor? ’

Did the lost item fall into the Emperor's water? But then Arhan shakes his head.

‘No, even if I get it, I don't know where the branch is. ’

Even if the lost item is in the hands of the emperor, he cannot know the location of the branch.

“Huff!”

“Huff!”

So...

Then, what is this scream?

“Kuaak!”

“Huff!”

Arhan stops thinking at the sound of continuous screaming. What was important now was that screams were heard.

Swook

Arhan turns his head to look at his armor hanging on the wall.

‘I don't know which one it is, but I've got to clean it up. ’

I don't know who broke in, but breaking in meant that someone knew the location of the branch, and I had to clean this place up after killing those who broke in sooner or later.

Overwhelmed

Arhan takes a step back and starts wearing the armor on the wall. And when I wore all my armor, the door opened and someone came in.

“Station Chief! This is serious! ”

It was Laros, deputy director, who was just below Arhan, who came into the room. Laros looks very embarrassed, and Arhan looks at him and asks,

“How many people have you attacked? ”

“Well...”

Laros blurs at the end of his question. Then I opened my mouth and replied.

“There's one. ”

“...? ”

After closing Laros' answer, Arhan tilts his head.

Am I hearing this wrong? ’

Arhan asks again if he heard it wrong.

“How many? ”

“There's one. ”

“... ”

But Laros' answer was unchanged. I didn't hear it wrong. Having been unable to speak for a moment, Arhan regains his senses and opens his mouth again.

“Who's there?”

“I'm not sure, but I'm guessing he's an Earl after all. ”

“Earl Myeonghoo! ”

Arhan was taken aback by what Laros said.

"If he is..."

Arhan was very familiar with the climate. No, it was obvious from Arhan's perspective that he didn't need to know.

But how did he do that? ’

I had one question. How did the manifesto get here? Arhan did not understand how the manifesto came to know the location of the branch.

“How do I do that? ”

Laros asked.

Wait a minute.

The moment Arhan heard Laros' question, he could think of a very peculiar plan.

What if this place is gone? ’

Asking about the responsibility for the loss of goods was the guild leader at the headquarters. But what if the place itself is gone? What if the person responsible dies?

Yeah, if you do that...

After coming up with the plan, Arhan smiled and looked at Laros.

“After all, he was ranked # 1 in the Elimination List. I'm glad you came alone. Kill the Earl after tomorrow. ”

“But he...”

Arhan says Laros has something to say. However, after Arhan frowned, he was unable to utter a word until the end, and he had to keep his mouth shut.

“I understand.”

In the end, Laros nods and turns back to prepare. And Arhan moves, waiting for the moment Laros turns around.

Puck!

“...! ”

Laros turns back, and as soon as he steps forward, he stops. Laros looks down and sees the sword coming out of his chest. With a very pointed blade, Laros knew whose sword it was.

“Uh, why...”

“I'm sorry.”

In response to Laros' words, Arhan draws his sword.

Fluffy

Laros falls forward as he draws his sword. Arhan looks at Laros flinching, smiling bitterly and stabs him back with his sword.

Puck!

“I can't help it. ”

Arhan didn't want to die. But I could have lived according to my plan. Arhan draws his sword as Laros stops moving. Then I pulled the scroll out of my arms and tore it.

Saaak

A bright light emanates from the scroll and fills the room.

‘With this I hid the memory of the space. ’

Even if the Grand Wizard were to come, he would not be able to read the memories left in the space. Arhan looks out of the room and thinks:

‘All the guild members in the precinct will die if you're an Earl after all. ’

They were all gonna die. No, from the screams I heard, they're probably all dead by now.

‘We must move quickly. ’

Arhan quickly approaches the wall where the armor was hanging. Then you activate the device and move the wall to open the vault.

‘I didn't think I'd be using this. ’

Inside the vault was a book, tons of gold, and a dead body. The body was very similar in appearance and body type to Arhan's. Arhan pulls the body out of the vault and lays it on the floor. He closed the vault and swung a sword at the body to inflict the wound.

‘All you have to do now is escape safely. ’

Arhan looks at the corpse and thinks: All that was left was to escape here safely.

Glug-ug

Arhan begins to fade away.

‘If it's my hideout... no problem. ’

After a perfect hideout, Ahn slowly steps outside the door.
