A hospital room.

The Duke of Erdi lies there.

I passed by many people, and I was the only one left here.

I thought as I looked at Erdi, who was breathing evenly.

‘That’s a good thing.’

When I saw Erdi lying down and bleeding, I thought his eyes were really dizzy.

It was a situation where I was able to breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that it was a situation that could be saved only after I barely suppressed it and examined it properly.

‘If only he were dead.’

Wouldn’t they have torn them all to death at that time?

It wasn’t a very pleasant experience for me since there was information I had to dig up from them.

Fortunately, Erdi was alive, and he had put them in the dungeon without killing them, so I could dig up the information later.

‘Anyway, Erdi lost… ‘

At the time, I didn’t have time to think about it because there were bigger things going on, but now that I think about it again, I feel a little puzzled. Because Erdi’s strength is not at the level where he can go anywhere and get hit by anyone.

‘He should be at least intermediate Sword Expert.’

Among the people in the world who have reached the level of expert, there are only a few.

There are even no people who have reached intermediate level.

Erdi is in such a state.

You beat Erdi like that?

‘Though the condition didn’t look that good.’

Even so, the fact that they beat Erdi was a constant fact.

He’s someone who can beat a Sword Expert Intermediate…

‘Who is it?’

I saw a face, but at least it wasn’t someone I knew.

However, judging from his behavior and the situation, the identity of this guy is an assassin.

‘He is a being with the same level of force as an assassination group.’

There was no place in particular that came to mind.

However, the fact that they are assassins means that someone has commissioned them and is aware of their power to some extent.

‘If that’s the case, then it’s probably a place that made its name known.’

However, if it was a place I didn’t know about, it was located in a completely shaded area.

And a nobleman with some connection to the side located in the shadows requested the assassination of Erdi.

‘first of all… Let’s stop him first.”

And after hanging up some devices in case someone comes in here and touches it.

I got out of there and headed to the dungeon.

After receiving greetings from the guards, I head down the stairs.

Ten minutes of walking down endless stairs.

When I finally arrived at the place where they were imprisoned, I saw the iron bars.

An assassin locked in a cage.

The assassin asked as he approached the bars.

“Where are my men.”

“Are you curious?”

“… Yes.”

“I wouldn’t be in a position to be curious about that.”

An assassin trying to assassinate the duke.

Of course, it is summary execution.

The reason such a guy is alive now is purely to dig up information.

However, I pointed out that you are asking without knowing the topic.

The middle-aged man immediately agreed with my words.

‘Why is there so little resistance to the subject of assassins?’

I couldn’t believe that a guy who radiated murderous intent from his natural presence, as if to indicate that he was a murderer, was so calm.

What exactly is it?

I had doubts, but since I was going to find out slowly from now on, I asked without any haste.

“This is the first question. Who are you?”

“… ”

The middle-aged man had no answer.

I added a little threat to his appearance as if he would not open his mouth at all.

“Is it okay no matter what happens to my subordinates?”

“… ”

Does it mean that I care deeply about my subordinates?

The middle-aged man immediately opened his mouth.

“I know about the bloody people.”

“A nation of blood… ”

A cursed clan that disappeared 200 years ago.

If you brought it up about him… ?

“A blood clan?”

“Okay.”

I never thought they were a blood clan.

It was a bit surprising to see people who disappeared 200 years ago appear before my eyes like this.

‘Same with the Sun Clan. Blood clan this time?’

At this point, I wonder if I have the power to bring together the lost clan.

Otherwise it wouldn’t make sense.

I let out a laugh and asked the next question.

“So who asked you to kill Duke Erdi?”

“I don’t know. Except that he just looks quite old.”

It didn’t really look like he was telling a lie.

No, you can’t even lie in the first place.

This is the guy who spit out information right after risking his subordinates.

‘If you look quite old… ‘Are you in your 40s?’

If you look at it roughly the same age as the middle-aged man in front of you.

I was able to summarize it pretty well.

‘But I don’t know much.’

Since I didn’t know much about this place, I couldn’t pinpoint a suspect.

However, since Dieron knows better than me, I think I can ask him about this. I spoke to the middle-aged man who was still obedient.

I would like to ask why “ carried out this request. No matter how bloody your clan is, you wouldn’t know that the other person is a duke.”

What kind of compensation did they receive to try to assassinate the duke?

If you look at the fact that he actually won, he has the ability, but even so, he won’t know that it’s a burden.

Still, the fact that he moved must have been worth the price.

The price for accepting the request to assassinate the duke.

I was curious about that.

A middle-aged man looks at me.

For the first time, his obedient eyes contained a feeling of desire.

“There is one person I want to find. He promised to give me information about that person.”

“Does that mean it was worth assassinating the duke?”

“At least for me it is.”

Information about finding people.

That alone is worth assassinating.

‘Are you family?’

Information about the person you are looking for is important enough to take the risk of assassinating the duke. The only thing that came to mind was that it was about family.

‘no. ‘There are enemies too.’

Everyone has an object of resentment.

There are also targets of revenge so intense that you want to kill them.

Since he was part of a blood clan, I thought he might be an enemy, but looking at the middle-aged man, it didn’t seem that way.

‘Then there’s a high probability that it’s family… ‘

When I look at the man in front of me, a similar face and personality comes to mind.

‘Elon.’

Is it because of my mood that I am reminded of the guy who is now joining the warrior party?

‘If you think back to the original… ‘

I may know it, but now my memory of the original has completely faded.

Aside from a little bit of information, nothing came to mind, so it was difficult to say anything.

‘Is it because I’ve adapted too much to this world?’

Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense to not remember the original.

Honestly, it wasn’t really a problem just because I couldn’t remember the original.

Now, I’m not just a possessor, I’m a person of this world.

“What is the name of the person you are looking for?”

spoke to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man made eye contact with me and seemed to let out a laugh.

I reply with a smile.

“Elon.”

When I heard that name, I knew what I was thinking was correct.

‘Then the options available will increase.’

The person in front of you is the guy who received the duke’s assassination request to find Elon.

However, I can confidently say that I actually know Elon’s whereabouts best.

That’s only natural since I met him and added him to the hero’s party.

Anyway, if you take advantage of that, you can use the man in front of you.

‘I don’t know what my relationship with Elon is like yet.’

That’s nothing to worry about.

All that mattered was that the middle-aged man desperately wanted to find Elon.

“I know about Elon.”

“… !”

At that moment, the middle-aged man’s eyes widened and a huge murderous spirit burst out.

“If… If that is false… I will tear it to death somehow… ”

Where has the obedience from just now gone?

It had completely disappeared and what took its place was the murderous spirit itself.

To me it was just funny.

“Would it be quicker for you to kill me? If you think just a little bit about whether it would be quick for me to kill you, you will find the answer. Also, there is no reason for me to lie to you about this. What is your value?”

Actually, it has a lot of value.

However, if you ask whether it is necessary, well…

I have no intention of using it even at the risk of risk.

Although I like the fact that we are a blood clan and its military power, there are paladins who have stronger military power than me but follow me blindly.

“Give me time to choose. I have accurate information about Elon. Find out where he is and what he is doing, and if you want, you can meet him right away. However, it is your freedom to believe this.”

I have no intention of forcing it.

Not only did I not feel that it was worth it.

This is because there was a part of me that didn’t want to receive it.

‘Just kill him.’

However, even as I thought that, I deep down thought that the man in front of me would accept it.

A guy who accepts the Duke’s assassination in order to find information about Elon.

Is there any way not to accept this?

And as I expected, the middle-aged man spoke with determined eyes.

“I accept it.”
