"Idiot! Useless! You can't even complete such a simple mission, Shay. What qualifications do you have to lead the Templar Assassins?"

Albert picked up the vase beside him and threw it at Shay, but Shay caught it in time.

"Lord Albert, it's not that I didn't work hard, it was just that it happened so suddenly, who could have thought..."

"That's enough! I don't want to hear your excuses. The current situation is that all your men are dead. Do you know how much damage this has caused to the church? The most important thing is that you haven't brought that little bastard back to me yet? How do you want me to explain this to the archbishop?"

Albert roared.

"But that's fine... I was just wondering how to complete the task he asked me to do... I just took this opportunity..."

"Tell me, are you sure there were only two people at the scene?"

"Of course, my Lord."

"One was the pariah who was the first to take action, and the other one, you said you couldn't see her face clearly?"

For some unknown reason, Shay did not give away Maglock.

"Yes, sir. That woman must have used some kind of sleight of hand. Her whole body is covered with some kind of mental barrier. Even I cannot see through it..."

"That's a cognitive impairment magic. Your mental strength is not as high as hers, so you naturally can't see through it..."

"Also, sir, my shadow magic is completely ineffective against that man."

Shay's strongest killer move, which had always worked, suffered a loss at the hands of that man, and he almost got himself involved.

If it weren't for the cloak that saved my life, I would have...

"How is this possible? Complete immunity to magic? Are you kidding me?"

"No, sir, I think it's just complete immunity to shadow magic..."

"...That's impossible. The best you can do is reduce the damage significantly, but that's only if you're well prepared...whether it's a barrier, a prop, or any other equipment..."

"And I stabbed her in the body almost instantly... She shouldn't have had any time to prepare."

"That's ridiculous... unless she's actually the Shadow itself... wait..."

"That's right, sir. No blood flowed out of her after she was injured. From all indications, this person... no, this existence is made up entirely of pure elements... It is not a human at all."

"Dark shadow...cognitive impairment..."

Albert muttered to himself.

Two key features that seemed to remind him of someone or something...

According to church records, a certain existence from a hundred years ago...

"Listen, I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins. If you can handle this, not only will you be able to explain to the Archbishop, but you and I may also get a reward..."

......

In the Kush Mountains.

"Nagash, why don't you take the boat? Why climb this broken mountain?"

Melissa wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked the man walking in front of her.

"Hide your tracks."

Nagash replied briefly.

"What's there to hide... It's not an important commission..."

"Miss Melissa, you can't say that. The leader has always acted like this. You should be more cautious in everything."

Doss explained.

"Be careful, be careful, in the end, all the good things will be taken away by others..."

Melissa muttered quietly.

"But you, I am the representative elected by Campino City, why are you following me?"

"Doesn't that mean I can't leave the city? Don't forget, we are engaged. Do you want them to gossip about me if I'm left alone in Campino?"

"...You should know clearly what the nature of the engagement is."

"Hey... we grew up together, don't you have any feelings at all?"

"Yes, but not much."

"Okay! You guy!"

Melissa reached out to hit Nagash, but missed.

"You can follow me, but you have to listen to my instructions. Don't be like last time, and the time before that..."

"Which time? Which time! Tell me clearly!"

"Okay, then I'll calculate it for you. Last time, you accepted the commission of the former great lord of Batoria without authorization, and stood on the side of the Norton Kingdom to act as their thug. In the end, you were defeated and suffered such serious injuries that you almost lost half your life. And the time before that, you also completely ignored the consequences and provoked the vampires. Do I need to repeat the consequences again?"

"You have always been so reckless since you were a child..."

Melissa lost her temper now. These two times were probably the biggest mistakes she made impulsively.

"...Speaking of that vampire...it seems like I haven't heard from her for a while, and the frequent attacks around the outskirts of the city have almost stopped...Do you know what's going on?"

Melissa changed the subject.

"I don't know, but we have always kept our distance from her. If it weren't for your hunting trip, she wouldn't have retaliated against us intentionally or unintentionally in the past few years..."

The major chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Norton also undertake part of the work of maintaining national security, so the chambers of commerce are more or less aware of all the major and minor events in the kingdom.

"As for why she suddenly disappeared... I think it's probably because she finally got enough revenge, or she finally had enough fun..."

"Will the kingdom not care about a monster like this who takes human life lightly? If they want, they should be able to send someone to capture her directly... No matter how you look at it, she doesn't even have the Saint rank..."

"You don't understand. The incident is not serious enough. It has not yet reached the level of disrupting the normal order of the kingdom, and it is even more impossible to ask the Saint to move."

"Even if we can't invite the Saint, then our several chambers of commerce can discuss and unite to encircle and suppress..."

"You really don't know anything except fighting..."

"You know everything, but I know nothing. That's enough! But there is one thing I have the right to know. What exactly are you going to do in Freedum? Are you going to get along well with those dwarves, or are you going to help the church deal with them?"

"It seems that you didn't listen to anything during the meeting... The several families made it very clear, 'We will help whoever wins'... The church is indeed powerful, but based on what you have seen and heard, the dwarves are probably not pushovers. What's more, the church's primary enemy is the demons. If the dwarves are pushed into a corner, they may not necessarily stand on the side of the church. It is not impossible for them to unite with the demons."

"We are all businessmen, and we know the interests involved. We should try to gain as much benefit as possible without offending either party. I don't know if you have heard about the incident last year. In the battle for the Darlington Mine, the major chambers of commerce were no match for the dwarves. After this battle, the kingdom chose to make peace with the dwarves and leased Wolf Harbor to the dwarves..."

"So, this trip is to go to Freedum to find out the truth and express the kingdom's attitude to the dwarves."

"In fact, it's not just the Norton Kingdom. I estimate that the Faga Kingdom, the Dorok Kingdom, and even several other countries will take action or wait and see. No one is willing to be a vassal of the church. This is an opportunity for change."

"Change......"

Melissa chewed on the word.

"By the way, I have something to ask you too."

"Oh? This is rare."

"It's about the desert. The last time I passed through Muchashar was two years ago. I'm not sure about the current situation there. I heard that the situation there is a little unusual?"

"I understand now. When I first entered the desert, I felt that the monsters there were restless. They gathered in groups and were extremely violent. The medicine that was originally used to drive away the monsters had the opposite effect and attracted a large number of giant scorpions and worms..."

"...Is that so...I have heard of the legend that a giant dragon of destruction lives in the Muchashar area..."

"You believe a lie to a child?"

"The real situation may not be as exaggerated as the rumors say, just like the sea dragon on the Sea of ​​God's Punishment. However, it is just an exaggeration..."

......

"Um... um, hello? Can you help me? I'm lost..."
