The Lazy Genius of the Duke’s Family (218)

What you need is a welcome gift (3)

Ambitious vision.

Two first-class killers, five second-class killers, and seven third-class killers from Death Valley seeped into Casa Kepler like shadows.

Phew, phew, phew.

All that could be heard was the soft breathing coming out from between the masks. There was nothing to stop the footsteps of the Death Valley killers who stirred up Casa Kepler under the night sky.

Bernard’s eyes, one of the first-class assassins and the leader of this assassination, flashed in the darkness.

‘The goal is single. The risk is high.’

This is an assassination mission with a high level of risk. The target is single. Single means that you have to kill only one target.

‘Kepler’s Duchy, Casa Kepler.’

The reason the risk level was set as high is because the mission is to be carried out at Casa Kepler, the heart of the Duchy of Kepler, and the target is the bloodline of the Kepler family.

‘Archangel Benio Kepler. Presumed to be a high-level expert in military affairs. However, considering his lack of actual combat experience, he is classified as medium-risk.’

In Death Valley, they analyze and judge the missions they receive from various angles and decide on the final grade. As a result, Death Valley gave Benio a medium grade.

Advanced Expert.

It is clear that he is a skilled knight who ranks high among the so-called human weapons, but considering Benio’s young age, his risk level was lowered because it was judged that he lacks practical experience.

The change in Benio’s risk rating from low to medium due to the Roche Festival is impressive in its own right, but what was rated even more dangerous in Death Valley was Casa Kepler itself.

Entering the center of the Three Great Dukes’ House and assassinating the Grand Duke would be a huge blow even if Death Valley failed.

But the reason Death Valley had no choice but to accept the mission is simple.

It’s because of the money.

Death Valley stepped in because the client who commissioned Benio’s assassination promised a huge sum of money.

Sweep, sweep!

An assassin dressed in pitch-black clothing moved under the night sky. Bernard was sold to Death Valley by his parents when he was young, and 99% of the assassins in Death Valley became assassins through this route.

The goal of every assassin in Death Valley is to become a top assassin. The moment you become a top assassin, you are free from the rules of Death Valley and are given the authority to act independently. In that sense, Bernard, a top assassin, must succeed in this mission.

‘Special purchase.’

The criteria to become a Death Valley special agent is rigorous.

Complete 100 missions. Then, gain the approval of the elders of Death Valley. You must kill at least three elders.

And today marks Bernard’s 100th assassination.

The exact number of waterfalls in Death Valley is unknown, but it is a well-known fact that only a handful of them are particularly dangerous.

Because completing 100 assassinations is virtually impossible.

In that sense, Bernard is the rising star of Death Valley. That is why Bernard was given the task of entering the bedroom of the third generation duke and assassinating his successor.

‘It will definitely succeed.’

Bernard’s breath melted into the air. In Death Valley, they teach all the soldiers a vision called Dissolve.

All of the Salsa masters the same technique called Dissolve, but the uses of this are endless. It is known that if you use Dissolve with polarity, you can literally become a part of nature and fool the Master’s eyes.

The trick to assassination is to avoid being discovered by your opponent.

The moment Bernard turned on Dissolve, his presence disappeared from this world. In that moment, he became a part of nature itself.

The dissolution of a first-class assassin right before a special assassin can easily fool the senses of even a high-level expert.

[Second class, deploy from the east. Third class, deploy from the west. First class is the north. I deploy from the south.]

Bernard’s voice melted into the darkness. But it must have been conveyed clearly to the assassins. The moment Bernard’s order was given, the assassins scattered in all directions.

Bernard will infiltrate the mansion while distracting the mansion’s guards from all sides, where the target, Benio, is located.

[Intermediate one. No other risk targets.]

The only person known to be Benio’s escort is the mid-level expert Luten. This is because the assassins of Death Valley were only wary of knights and magicians who had mastered Aura or magic.

In addition, those who have not mastered Aura are excluded from the boundary. Even if they are a third-class assassin, if their skills are such that they can be detected by ordinary people, they are not qualified to be an assassin in Death Valley.

[inrush!]

At Bernard’s signal, a shadow seeped into the mansion. Bernard did not move immediately. The assassins who had rushed in first were supposed to disrupt the target area before Bernard could rush in.

Quiet.

But there was no sound from inside. Bernard frowned. If the mission was successful, the only way to announce success was to let the Death Valley know.

But it was so quiet inside the mansion.

Bernard was overcome with foreboding.

‘no way?’

There must have been something wrong. It would have been normal to hear even the slightest sound, but the mansion was completely silent, as if it had swallowed up the beasts.

There was a silence that made it seem as if nothing had happened if Bernard had not been there.

‘inrush!’

The Salvation Army of Death Valley must complete its mission, even if it leads to its own death. Salvation has no choice.

He was educated and brainwashed like that. Bernard hesitated a little, but he went ahead and did it anyway because he was brainwashed.

Parsak!!

A few leaves slid down Bernard’s body. Almost without making a sound, Bernard crossed the garden as if he were a ghost, pressing himself against the outer wall of the mansion.

Sasa sak!

Bernard climbed up the wall. Using Dissolve at full power, Bernard seemed to have become one with the building, so much so that even with the naked eye, it was impossible to tell that there were people there.

Bernard went up to the second floor. His target, Benio, was in the second floor bedroom.

Bernard took a small stick out of his pocket and tapped on the window in the second-floor hallway with it. With a loud click, the lock released and the stick crumbled.

A single-use artifact with an unlocking spell. It is one of the artifacts developed in Death Valley and is essential for assassins who need to infiltrate somewhere.

Swish.

Bernard entered the mansion through the second floor window like a shadow.

The mansion was quiet. It was hard to believe that Death Valley’s waters had entered this place. The silence sent shivers down Bernard’s neck and gave him goosebumps.

But we have to move.

Bernard had fully unleashed everything he had learned and mastered during the last 99 assassinations. Bernard could not even hear a breath. This was because Bernard, who had been using the Dissolve at full power, was not breathing through a respirator.

A monstrous master-level knight can even hear the sound of a person’s breathing. That’s why Dissolve holds back breathing. Dissolve is what allows you to last ten minutes on a single breath.

If Bernard isn’t breathing, that means he’ll be done in ten minutes. Bernard glided down the hallway and opened the door to the bedroom where Benio was.

Swish.

The door opened silently. It was well-oiled. Bernard saw a silhouette crouching on the bed in the darkness.

It’s a human silhouette.

Two sharp crescent-shaped daggers emerged from Bernard’s hands, who was certain that it was Benio, the master of this bedroom.

This is the Crescent Sword, the symbol of Death Valley. The Crescent Sword is a sword specialized for thorough cutting and assassination. And Bernard, while melting into the darkness, swung the Crescent Sword at Benio.

One hit, one kill.

Although he has no real combat experience, his opponent is presumed to be a high-level expert. Therefore, he should not be given a chance to counterattack. It is an exaggeration to say that a swordsman can defeat a knight in a head-on confrontation.

Sugagagagak!!

But there was no sound of cutting leather. There was a spark, a sound of metal scraping against metal. Bernard’s eyes widened. It was a sword he had swung hundreds, thousands of times. The red blade had blocked Bernard’s crescent sword.

‘pitfall!’

Bernard’s eyes widened. Benio was lying down, holding the fire spirit. That meant the mission was exposed.

Bernard immediately tried to get away, but then six butterflies fluttered out of the darkness.

Strangely enough, it was a butterfly that could glow in the dark.

It couldn’t be a real butterfly. Bernard swung his crescent sword. But it couldn’t reach the black blade that contained the killer’s ultimate attack.

Flapping! Flapping!

This is because the butterfly flapped its wings and moved in the strong wind.

Crunch, crunch!!!

Instead, the butterfly cut Bernard’s body. Bernard’s body was cut by the sword. But Bernard rolled his eyes without even groaning.

“What a great feat. If I hadn’t been prepared, I would have never noticed it.”

The swordsman circled around Bernard. Benio waved Hwaryeong’s sword and spoke to Bernard in admiration. But Bernard did not respond.

No questions asked.

Words are a luxury for Salsu. Benio smiled as he watched Bernard, who was showing such a desperate spirit with his whole body.

“Even if you ask who sent it, it’s unlikely that the person running around the scene would know.”

In the Central Plains, countless murderous organizations such as Salgok, Salgeomrim, and Salmun rose and fell repeatedly. They rose because they succeeded in their murders, and they disappeared because they failed in their murders and were retaliated against.

Bernard’s eyes scanned the surroundings. Even though the swords were flying around Bernard, Bernard did not give up. Benio smiled at Bernard’s eyes.

“If you’re expecting your colleagues, I advise you not to do so, Diato.”

As Benio spoke to the outside, the door opened and Diato, Luten, and Tony came in, dragging a tangled mess of thugs.

Bernard’s eyes wavered when he saw it.

“You seem to be wondering when that happened, Hayley?”

There was no one who was healthy during the assassination. The reason Benio had foreseen the assassination attack was simple.

Swish.

“Your Highness. Did you call?”

Hailey emerged from the darkness. After learning about her bloodline after Evan, Hailey awakened her vampire powers one by one.

The moment you realize what kind of being you truly are, the abilities that were dormant in your blood begin to blossom.

Because of this, Hailey was able to manipulate the darkness as if it were her own hand, even though she hadn’t taught it anything yet.

No matter how skilled you are at killing, you can’t avoid the eyes of a vampire who rules over darkness with his power. Furthermore, Hayley is the daughter of the vampire lord who is considered the true ancestor, so her power grows stronger by the day.

So much so that the waters of Death Valley were aware of their presence the moment they passed the walls of Casa Kepler.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“No. If I can be of any help to the Archduke in this way, I am satisfied.”

Haley took it upon herself to be Benio’s personal maid.

“Bernanke.”

“Yes, my lord.”

And then Bernanke showed up. The moment Bernard saw Bernanke, he had a gut feeling. He felt that the reason the three generations of the Duke were called fools was because of people like them.

Bernanke has stealth skills that are comparable to those of Bernard, a first-class assassin. It is safe to say that all agents in the net have learned stealth skills at that level.

“Who moved?”

“The organization Breeze has moved. It is the information organization of the Tunong Hoonjak.”

“To whom?”

“It appears that Duke Tunon introduced Death Valley to Lady Josephine.”

If it were outside Casa Kepler, it would be unknown, but it happened inside. Benio had already been monitoring Viscount Galton and Lady Josephine through Bernanke. As a result, he had the evidence in his hands.

The same goes for the assassins who came to assassinate him.

Benio smiled brightly.

“Get that dogma out of your mouth. I won’t let you die as you please.”

“Ugh, ughhhh!!!”

Bernard’s body froze as he tried to bite the poison. Benio blew a gust of wind and touched the demon’s blood. Then, starting with Luten, the vicious hands removed the poison for suicide from the mouths of all the assassins.

“Tony.”

“Yes, your highness.”

“Who is the highest official of the Tobias family in Casa Kepler?”

The head of the household, Manic Tobia, is in a sickbed. Because of this, Lady Josephine is running the Tobia household as regent.

But there will be a successor to Manic Tobias.

“Rooster Tobias. He is the eldest son of Manic Tobias. He works as an administrative officer in the strategic department at the Duke’s Castle.”

“Meet him. Send a message. I have to give him a gift.”

Benio smiled brightly.
