Chapter 75
A few days later, I was at the central branch.
‘To spend my bloody vacation on a mission… … .’
Although the destination is close, it was still not a weekend trip.
So I had no choice but to use the vacation I received as a reward for my first mission.
There is no way I won’t feel sick to my stomach since I put a vacation that I should have spent playing on my mission.
“It’s been a while. Is this your first collaboration on a mission?”
Eventually, Mitra arrived at the branch and greeted them with an expressionless face.
“Yeah.”
I raised my right hand and answered in a dry voice.
The short white hair and red eyes, cold atmosphere and beauty were still the same.
A woman who looks exactly like Kairam.
Although she was the older sister with a difference of six years, there was little contact with her, so it was a face-to-face relationship.
If I hadn’t stood out lately, a day like today wouldn’t exist.
Before long, leading figures from the central branch of the Empire entered the meeting room and took their seats.
Clap!
“Everyone seems to be gathered, so let’s start the mission briefing.”
The faceless that came in last broke the frozen atmosphere.
This mission was assisted by high-ranking agents.
Since the scale was so large, a joint venture was inevitable.
“The target of this mission is the Tower Master’s staff, Grand Magia.”
When it comes to magic, Everfield was supposed to come to mind first.
Because it was the family that built the most powerful force on the Revius continent.
But wizards weren’t the only ones from Everfield.
Because there are so many talented people on a wide continent.
The Gray Mage Tower was a group of wizards who used unique fantasy magic.
As a result of being located near the Principality of Caliburn, like Nangya, it was exerting influence over the entire Beldom Federation.
“Grand Magia is a sacred object that symbolizes the gray magic tower. It is always in the tower owner’s laboratory, so you should aim for the time when the tower owner is away.”
“How many people are you putting in?”
“Anyway, as the goal is the symbol of the tower, we must be fully prepared. We plan to put 20 first-class people in the five limited-class here.”
It seemed that the three heavyweights who came in after Mitra were special agents.
‘What about Bluebird?’
I suddenly thought of Wendy, the mascot of the central branch.
But I quickly erased the thought of her.
Apparently, Bluebird lost some trust due to the failed assassination of Marquis Pennant.
For the time being, I’m not going to commit to such a big operation.
While I was thinking about it for a while, the mission briefing of faceless continued.
“The Tower is made up of a total of 5 layers. It shouldn’t be too difficult to break through the first 3 levels of protection. Just go in while the level 1 agents keep their eyes on you.”
“What’s next?”
“Level 4 security will be removed by our branch’s special agents. The two of you can go into the tower master’s laboratory and bring out the Grand Magia.”
Somehow, the briefing turned into a conversation between me and the head of the central branch.
Faceless has chosen me to lead this mission.
‘Since I have connections with Wendy, I don’t want to give my major to Mitra.’
Since the general manager of the operation is the head of the central branch, there was no objection to the leader designation.
It was a look like the Landswalger Assassins, who had a strong top-down trend.
No, Mitra just didn’t seem to care who he designated as the leader.
Is it an expression of confidence that you can achieve results in any situation?
Because of his expressionless face, I couldn’t read his thoughts.
That’s how I understood it roughly.
‘How can all of you be blunt? He looks exactly like Kairam. Oh, except for Isabel.’
I shook my head slightly, reminding myself of my third sister who would be having an exciting weekend in Troven.
I hope you didn’t know who I was until after I graduated from Benderford.
Otherwise, it would be terribly noisy.
“We’re starting the mission right away. We’ll have to start today so we can be in time for the operation. Any questions?”
No one answered, so I turned my gaze, but the leaders of the central branch nodded slightly.
Somehow, like faceless, it seemed to think of me as the head of the operation.
Oh, this is embarrassing.
In the original mission cooperation, it’s best to just take care of the results.
But Mithra just seemed to have no idea.
Inevitably, I had to answer Faceless’ question.
“……There is not.”
“Then let’s go.”
“yeah.”
Responding helplessly, I grabbed the essentials and left the conference room.
Trying to do something that doesn’t even cost money, I felt like my body was very heavy.
‘Still, it’s almost a transcendental mission, but it’ll pay off well, right?’
If you don’t give me even that, I’m going to overthrow everything that is the family head’s order.
Of course, that won’t happen.
If I did that, I’d be pissed off.
* * *
Traveling from the capital of the empire, Troven, to the Duchy of Caliburn was tedious.
It takes a day or two to sit in the carriage and watch the passing scenery.
From the third day onwards, even that had to be exhausted.
So Mitra passed the time by observing his half-brother.
‘I feel it every time I see him, but he’s a very unique kid.’
She secretly peeked at Ray Landswalger, codenamed Crow.
No matter how you think about it, he was a guy who didn’t fit in with the Assassins and the family at all.
As an assassin, he made significant achievements and was rapidly promoted, but the atmosphere he was exuding was very different from theirs.
It’s not a dagger hidden in the dark, but rather like a greatsword that can be swung openly.
It’s hard to describe exactly, but that’s how it felt.
‘It’s because of the way he enjoys breaking through. I heard it was like that during the 10th year of training.’
Isabelle always described Ray as ‘an ignorant fellow’.
After the mission to assassinate Count Alexei, the third’s harsh evaluation reached its peak.
It was because he put everyone at risk with his reckless behavior.
However, the result of analyzing the mission evaluation sheet at the time was the exact opposite of Isabel’s story.
Although it was a little radical, Ray’s actions succeeded in the mission and saved the team from danger.
It’s just that the method was too extreme.
‘Couldn’t it be like this again?’
There are rumors that accidents happen every time a mission is collaborated, so I had no choice but to be anxious.
In addition, it has been showing prominence recently, so it caught more attention.
Since the head of the central branch had been designated as the leader, he was going to follow.
Of course, I didn’t like that decision.
No matter who sees it, you’re better than yourself, but that’s probably because you’re conscious of Wendy’s sluggishness.
‘Even if I try to trick him, he won’t be able to catch up with me.’
It was obvious that the second one was using energy and trying to overcome himself.
Isabel, on the other hand, had no interest in the power struggle within the family.
But the fourth half-brother was someone I didn’t know at all.
A competitor who lived as if a rat had died, but from someday terrifyingly pursued him.
It feels like that, but when you see it in person, you have become the youngest brother full of mischief.
Aren’t you still doing strange things on the roof of the wagon?
“What the hell is that doing?”
The high-ranking assassin of the central branch, who was riding in the wagon with him, made an absurd expression.
It was because Ray was immersed in meditation, standing on his head on top of the carriage ahead.
I don’t know why he was doing that, but it looked like fun.
To be sure, there really wouldn’t be a single one like him among the family’s assassins.
Mitra watched Ray’s eccentricity with a faint smile.
“I don’t know either. He’s really unknown.”
* * *
‘Wow! I’m bored. I’m bored. If I don’t do something like this, time won’t pass.’
I climbed on top of the wagon and was training while standing on a handstand.
It was a task to increase the concentration of seniority by deliberately creating an extreme situation in which the ground shakes.
Of course, it was a useless act.
It’s just that I’m so bored I’m just trying to do crazy things.
‘What do you see? Have you ever seen me do this?’
I calmly met the suspicious assassins’ gaze.
After moving for about three days, the boundaries of the Principality of Caliburn finally appeared.
Fortunately, the gray magic tower was on the border between the principality and Baron Kerodin.
Coincidentally, the group passed the forest where they shared a drink with Raoul.
‘I never thought I would come here again.’
The feeling was new, but there was no time to be immersed in thoughts.
This was because the operation started as soon as they arrived at their destination.
“How do we decide when to execute an operation?”
A high-class assassin approached me and asked for my opinion.
As much as I was recognized as a leader, I had to decide when to put in.
In general, it would be safer to go in at night when there were fewer people.
‘But the Mage Tower’s boundaries are not based on the number of people. The question is, where is the tower? … .’
I fumbled through the order book and hardened my expression.
Then the assassins who read the strange atmosphere began to notice.
It was a firm misunderstanding that something was wrong.
On the other hand, I was just getting a lot of annoyance.
‘damn! This time too fucking long. I’m going to cut it down a bit, you bastards!’
The reason why my expression became serious was because of the work of the filial piety guys.
It made me go crazy every time I read it.
‘phew! Let me be patient with my good personality. So back to the mission… … .’
As a mage tower that mainly deals with fantasy magic, the schedule of the tower master was truly unusual.
It seemed that they had created space movement countermeasure magic circles in various places.
However, there was a certain degree of regularity even in the complicated schedule.
It’s just that it’s so twisted that it’s difficult to get the right perspective.
“Whoops! There’s a method that can be used at times like this.”
“Oh… it looks like there’s a trick or something?”
Since he was a direct descendant and held the leadership position, he spoke with respect even though he was an agent of the same level.
I grinned at those elite assassins and threw something high into the sky.
Ting!
“That’s… taking pictures! People are daytime, numbers are nighttime!”
“…”
The leaders of the central branch watched the falling gold coins with a bewildered expression.
Teeing!
Coins that fell to the floor spun around and burned.
Eventually, one side revealed itself, reflecting sunlight.
It was the face of the first emperor of the empire that appeared with a radiant glow.
“No, my God!”
When the operation was scheduled for broad daylight, the faces of the elite assassins were drawn.
It seemed like it would be more difficult than the night, so it was a natural reaction.
They began to mumble in a perplexed voice.
“Crow-sama, no matter how much this is…”
“Why don’t you compromise for a slightly gloomy evening?”
But I shook my head firmly and replied.
“Yes. No.”
Then, the leaders of the central branch sent their eyes to Mitra asking for help.
But Mithra seemed completely unwilling to get involved in my decision.
He just looked away with an expressionless face.
‘They say it might be better to break through the magic tower during the day?’
At night, the magic vigilance gets worse.
i don’t know anything
I’m much more expert in magic than you guys are?
I sighed and picked up the gold coin that had fallen on the floor.
“Now, shall we rob Hoe-tapju?”
