chapter 26
episode 26
The large pupil, engulfed in gray flames, quickly disappeared.
Like the two dragons that symbolized Ryun and Conantreger, it was only a temporary illusion.
I felt familiar as I contemplated the flowing aura.
Even though it is clearly a heterogeneous flow.
‘It’s been merged into one, so did it work?’
As a result, the fusion of Ryun and Conantreger’s technique was a great success.
As they united against my will, they spontaneously harmonized with each other.
We didn’t see them pushing each other away any more.
I sneakily tried the new technique.
It was while correcting the route little by little according to the trick of the Lun Yungong method.
However, the results were completely different from what was expected.
“What is this…? Did you really reject it?”
Surprisingly, the aura rotation kept its own flow regardless of my will.
However, he did not completely ignore my orders.
If you try to spread the sword, you will be able to pull out as much aura as you need.
It felt as if there was a will in the practice.
‘Besides, they are continuing the rotation on their own without even being conscious of it.’
The seniority method meant an aura rotation that received external energy and converted it into internal energy.
It is a fairly delicate process, so it was usually practiced in a static state, such as sitting or lying down.
However, the new practice method was unfolding without even being aware of it.
So it seemed to feel like a more heterogeneous flow.
“In a way, it could be good, wouldn’t it?”
Others had to make time for the auror rotation.
However, if Mahon moves you, you will automatically start training.
Even when I do other things, the auror rotation will keep running.
‘Let’s try again.’
Tsutsutsutsutsu!
Having summoned my will, I tried to manifest an aura.
Then, the desired amount of power poured out and stayed in my right hand.
The color was light gray.
“If that’s the case, then there’s no need to hide Riverrun’s secret skill, right?”
The reason he hid his real skills so far was because of his uniqueness, which seemed to be covered in white light with dark blue aura.
However, the achromatic aura that I had now manifested did not stand out much.
In addition, it showed a very similar aspect to the second half of Conantreger.
It seemed that as the seniority method was fused, the characteristics were also accepted.
I nodded slightly and quietly looked inside.
‘Finally became Tier 3.’
At the same time as the new practice was completed, my realm was one step higher.
I could tell just by looking at the gray figure rising out of my hand.
It was a characteristic of the 3rd tier to handle auras freely as if they were breathing.
“What are you going to name it anyway?”
This practice was completely different from anything I had ever learned.
Where is the deep gong that has a will and moves on its own in the world?
It seemed that he needed a new name, not Ryun or Conantreger.
In the meantime, the gray aura that stayed in my grasp completely disappeared.
As my willpower faded, the method of practice took power on its own.
I stared at my hand with a dejected expression.
It felt like I had made a pact with the devil.
“Yes. It would be strange to call you a senior citizen.”
The last day of the expiry date of the Express Yeonmugwan.
Finally, I was able to complete my demon spirit and leave the training room.
Drooling!
As soon as I opened the door and went outside, bright sunlight poured in.
Then the scene inside the training room caught my eye.
The walls and ceiling made of hard stone were left with scars, as if scratched.
Like a legendary dragon brandishing its claws.
Far from swordsmanship, he just sat and practiced martial arts.
The training room was devastated by the air waves emitted from the completion of the Mahon.
* * *
After leaving the limited-class Yeonmugwan, I headed straight for Biyeongak.
This was the liaison between the Assassins and Black Rin’s Island.
The family’s policies, orders, and reports must go through non-yeongak.
In addition, personal letters coming to the island of Black Lin were supposed to pass through here.
While providing services, it was possible to monitor internally naturally.
‘As soon as I arrived, the acting head of household called me, so I was not in a hurry. By the way, it’s time to get in touch… … .’
Recently, the island of Black Rin was quite crowded with people who entered the island after receiving a call-up order.
However, most of them received letters from the branch office, so it was rare for them to come all the way to Biyeongak.
So I had no choice but to be quiet here.
I went straight to the window on the left and knocked on the window.
Knock knock. Drooling!
Then, a young agent with green hair opened the sliding window.
“What’s your business… Ray-sama?”
As soon as he saw it, he smiled brightly and pretended to know.
“Hey, long time no see? Hermann.”
“Yes. It’s the first time since I left for disciplinary action. How was Railhash?”
“No big deal. It was a time-consuming mission.”
Herman, a second-class operative of the Non-Yeongak, was quite close to me.
The fact that he saved his life during 10 years of ordeal has allowed them to continue their relationship.
I nodded smirkingly and revealed the purpose of my visit.
“Have you ever received any letters from me?
“Ugh! It’s still the same.”
“It was popular in Luberic Borough. Can’t you believe it?”
“I didn’t get any correspondence from the pretty girls, but let’s just say they did.”
“What is it? Has your love cooled already because you moved the branch?”
“No, according to common sense, someone sends a letter to Black Rin’s Island. They don’t even know Ray-sama’s identity, do they?”
“Oh! Do you believe it existed? Well, there’s no way this face won’t be popular because it’s a nangjungjichu.”
“Nue nueh, you must be.”
Herman lowered the corner of his mouth and made a funny face.
At his reaction, I smiled and put one arm on the window.
Suddenly, his voice lowered and his eyes became serious.
“Are you here?”
“Yes, here.”
Herman, who handed me the letter he had prepared in advance, changed his expression in an instant and smiled happily.
“Still, there have been a few calls. But this is not from the Luberic Autonomous Region, but from the Eastern Branch of the Empire?”
“Is there anything you can send me?”
“It’s been quite a while, but it seems that it’s been put into non-relationship due to an unknown addressee.”
“Oh, he must have come when I went missing. Thanks. For taking care of it.”
“You’re welcome.”
“Let’s have a meal next time. Drinks are good.”
“Isn’t that empty? Biyeongak level 2 is a low salary.”
“Of course I’ll buy it. Then go.”
After receiving the three letters, I waved my hands and left Biyeongak.
The guy’s exaggerated reaction was a kind of camouflage.
The letter is just a blindfold, and the real thing is a small note passed in a moment.
It was the coded text from Abigail’s nanny.
On the way to my inn, I opened the three letters on purpose.
The two are fake letters forged by Hermann.
The remaining one was a greeting letter from his colleague Lorena when he was a second-class agent.
‘This should be answered. I’ll be relieved if I pretend to be deceived in moderation.’
Lorena was a competent intelligence agent in the Borough of Luberic.
There was a corner of my heart, but I already knew her identity.
The fact that he is the watcher of the Presbyterian Corps to watch the main character’s actions.
To avoid suspicion, he had to pretend that he had a close relationship with Lorena.
It was still necessary to cover the eyes of the elders.
I immediately opened the note from Abigail’s nanny.
There, simple words were written in the Assassin’s Code.
‘Secure two investment destinations.’
The moment I read the short sentence, I raised my eyes wide.
It was nothing special, but I couldn’t help but be surprised.
The investment destination mentioned here was a word that meant the descendants of Riverrun.
‘Two people… … .’
Abigail wondered who the people she found were, but there was no way to know right away.
It was a situation where surveillance was focused due to the escape case, and it was currently under the summons of the family.
I have no choice but to wait with bated breath until I feel more free.
Roaring!
I woke up and burned the note sent by the nanny in an instant.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he started writing back to Lorena.
It doesn’t make sense to ignore the hot body’s letters when she’s playing a horny woman.
‘No, this is purely for camouflage.’
There was no way she would fall into an obvious trap just because her partner was pretty.
No matter how much I lived a rough life in my previous life, I wasn’t someone who lacked self-control to the point of forgetting my purpose.
Of course, I did not reveal my heartless true heart in my reply.
First of all, the first line started with ‘To my colleague Lorena I miss’.
I guess I’ll have to delete my colleague.
Because it feels kind of businesslike.
Shouldn’t it be written in a softer, more romantic way, as if you’ve been dumped by a watcher?
Wouldn’t that make your stomach look better?
I played with the quill excitedly, enjoying something akin to a fresh love feeling.
But it was around the time I finished writing the letter.
smart.
Isn’t someone knocking on the door?
When I opened the door and went out, an agent of Biyeongak was waiting politely.
“This is a message to immediately respond to the call-up order. Go to Sotaejeon.”
“suddenly?”
“Yes, then.”
The agent who appeared out of nowhere and delivered the order greeted and immediately withdrew.
He seemed to be quite busy, acting as a messenger.
You can’t hold on to someone who has to run around all the time.
The reason for the call is because you will know when you go there.
After hurriedly refining my clothing, I moved to Sotaejeon, where the family head was located.
For some reason, with every step, I felt like I was under a lot of weight.
It was 19 years and 6 months.
Until the first face-to-face with the enemy.
‘Let’s take a look at that proud face.’
