The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - Chapter 906
Chapter 906
“ah····”
As soon as Raon saw the black-haired middle-aged man, he made a disgusted expression.
“Were you here?”
“I came here to rest and relax, but I didn’t know you would be here.”
The black-haired middle-aged man chuckled and patted his shoulder.
-I asked who it was, and it was Heo Heo-tang.
Las snorted as if the steam had cooled down.
‘Hehehe?’
-Because he’s always like, “Hahaha!” Hehe, hehe.
The guy shook his head, saying that wasn’t right.
‘That’s not a wrong statement.’
Raon looked at the middle-aged man and licked his lips briefly.
‘Anyway, I’m glad you’re safe.’
The black-haired middle-aged man who suddenly spoke to me was Roen in disguise. As expected of a man called the King of Sal, his acting skills were natural.
“How about Montiro? It’s leisurely but not too noisy.”
“I arrived today so I don’t know much. I came here for work too.”
“Work? You’re going to have the kids do the work and go out and play.”
Roen snickered, saying he could see everything. It was surprising that not only his face, but his expression and actions had completely changed into a middle-aged person of a different color.
“No?”
Raon shook his head with a curt expression.
“Who is this guy?”
The white-haired man standing next to Roen narrowed his eyes.
‘Kang Ha-gun·’
He looked to be in his mid-to-late 20s, but his strength was above the highest level of a master. He was a man I had never seen before.
“I am the son of the elder who has received grace.”
Roen smiled faintly, saying that they were on friendly terms.
“I see. Let’s talk. I’ll go.”
“Thank you for talking to me today, Caleb.”
“I enjoyed it too”
The white-haired man called Calop waved his hand as if to tell them not to worry.
“Lensia?”
As he turned his back to leave the beach, he stopped walking when he saw Lencia standing behind him.
“Hello, Mr. Calop!”
Lencia smiled happily and lowered her head as if she had seen her own older brother. Her hands, which were holding her backpack tightly, trembled slightly.
“Are you my guest?”
“Yes, I will be helping you starting today.”
“It’s good to see you working hard.”
Calop looked at Lencia for a moment, patted her head, and left.
“Where have you decided to stay?”
As soon as Calop left, Roen asked where he was staying.
“Over there on the hill···”
“Valorence? Well, that’s the only place you can go.”
He nodded, saying it was obvious he wanted to spend money.
“I’m also staying in Vallorence. Do you want to go out for a drink after a long time?”
Roen turned around and told her to follow him, as if he had no right to refuse.
“ha····”
Raon let out a long sigh and called out to Lencia.
“I think I have to drink with that old man today. Come back tomorrow morning.”
He told me to come tomorrow and gave me today’s wages.
“Hey, I already received it?”
Lencia opened her eyes wide as she took out the silver coin she had given him at first.
“That’s a tip…”
Raon threw a silver coin, telling him to take it when he gave it to him.
“thank you!”
Lencia quickly caught the silver coin and lowered her head.
“Come quickly. You young man, you’re too slow.”
Roen called out to him as if he were really his father’s friend.
“Yes····”
“I came here before, but this place is bigger than I thought. There’s a lot to see. First of all, the west cave…”
After sending Lencia home, Raon followed Roen. He pretended to be bored and closed his eyes halfway, taking in all the information about Montiro that he was explaining.
After hearing the story of the West Stalactite Cave and talking about the church in the East, we arrived at Roen’s lodging.
“Hmm, sit over there.”
Roen pointed with his chin to the table by the window with a view of the sea.
“yes····”
Raon nodded his head with difficulty and sat down on the chair opposite Roen.
“Did I just talk about myself? How have you been?”
“Well, it’s the same thing. Work, rest, work, rest, repeat.”
He answered that he just worked, slightly turning his shoulders.
-Are you hiding it here too?
‘There are no people, but artifacts or barriers may pick up the sound.’
It is clear that Montiro itself is strange, so it is best to be cautious until the secret is revealed.
“How is your father?”
“It’s so normal it’s scary.”
As I nodded, thinking of Edgar, there was a knock at the door.
“Come in.”
The person who opened the door after hearing Roen’s words was the guide. He brought a tray with snacks and drinks to the table.
“Here are the drinks and snacks you requested.”
The guide boy lowered his head as if he was used to this, and placed the drinks and snacks on the table.
“Thank you, Perrin.”
Roen gave a tip to the child named Perrin and patted his head.
“No! Have a nice time, you two!”
Perrin closed the door and left after carefully embracing the tip he had received from Roen.
“They are children who work hard”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Shouldn’t you live like that too?”
Roen twisted his lips as if he was being hit.
[Long time no see, Lord Gwangpungjeon]
However, as he spoke, he wrote in the air with his finger.
“I’m trying my best to live, so don’t worry about it.”
Raon gave a cold answer and wrote in the air just like Roen.
[I was worried, but you’re safe.]
[I also believe in my disguise and acting, but even if Black Tower had discovered me, I wouldn’t have attacked them. The moment I was attacked, their suspicions about this place would have become certain.]
Roen shook his head, saying that he didn’t seem to be under surveillance yet.
[But how did you know I was here?]
[Before meeting Jeonju, I contacted an agent in the black market. Thanks to him, I was able to learn about the current operation.]
He smiled, saying that he was glad to have met the black market agent in advance.
[So, have you found anything suspicious?]
[No, I looked around the whole of Montiro pretending to enjoy the vacation, but there was nothing strange.
Roen was nagging with his mouth while writing politely with his fingers.
[Rather, it is a place where everyone is happy and joyful and there are no problems. Monsters run wild once in a while, but since those who are called heroes step forward, no damage occurs.]
Roen shook his head, saying that he had come here in many forms but had found nothing.
[okay·]
Raon chewed his lips thinly.
‘Well, that’s only natural.’
Because I couldn’t find Lasdo
Before hearing that there was no fraud in this land, even Ras couldn’t find anything strange. It was natural for Roen not to find anything strange.
[But these people who are called heroes······]
[Do you remember the white-haired young man on the beach earlier?]
[Yes, he is young, but he is strong.]
He nodded, recalling the white-haired young man holding a greatsword.
[He is the leader of a force called Calop, and he has five friends like that. They are all top-level Masters, but they are staying here with no intention of making their name known on the continent.]
Roen narrowed his eyes as he said Calop’s name.
[Maybe they are the black tower and···]
[I was also suspicious, so I kept watching, but it wasn’t true. He used an aura that was purer than mine, let alone magic, and although his personality was a bit rough, he truly had the appearance of a hero.]
He emptied his glass, saying that it seemed to have nothing to do with the Black Tower.
[okay····]
Raon tapped the table with his fingers as he recalled the situation in which he had met Calop.
[To be honest, I still can’t believe there’s a black tower here.]
Roen shook his head, saying that it made no sense that the Black Tower existed in the very place he had observed.
[Have you discovered anything, Lord Jeonju?]
[It’s difficult to say right now, but there are a few things.]
Besides the fraud and the magic, there was one more thing that was suspicious, but it was not yet at the point where it could be confirmed.
[I see. Then I will believe in you, Lord Jeonju.]
Roen smiled faintly and filled the empty glass.
[But Roen-sama····]
[I trust the will of the Lord more than my own judgment.]
He bowed his head, saying that he trusted himself more than he had ever seen himself.
[Your Majesty, no, you have seen more than me since you were young.]
Roen drank his alcohol with a hollow smile as if it were a natural thing.
[Roen····]
Raon felt Roen’s sincerity and his hand holding the glass trembled. It was really happy but also heavy to receive someone’s sincerity.
[I think I’ve been in this state for too long, so I think I should go out for a bit.]
Roen bowed his head slightly, saying he would return with a new face.
[That would be good. Right now, the Gwangpungjeon and Jungmujeon inspectors are coming in in groups, so it shouldn’t be that difficult.]
[Then I guess I should get ready quickly.]
He smiled thinly, saying that he had to get ready to go out right away.
“I must have nagged you too much, you look like a corpse. When you get older, you talk too much, that’s a problem.”
Roen smiled and shook his head.
“Okay, you can go now. It was nice to see you after such a long time. I’ll say hello to your father.”
He waved his hand holding the glass as if to bid farewell.
“all right····”
Raon let out a long sigh and got up.
“I’m going····”
“I won’t go far”
I opened the door to the room and went out without even looking at Roen who was waving.
‘Trust me more than your own judgment···’
Raon clenched his fist, taking to heart the words Roen had written with his fingers.
‘Let’s find out’
The secret of this perfect city
* * *
“Huh····”
Raon let out a shallow breath as he watched the sun set across the horizon.
‘It’s already been three days.’
For three days, the Gwangpungjeon and Jungmujeon inspectors successfully infiltrated in different forms, and the black market agents also entered while hiding and performed their respective roles.
But no one could find anything strange about Montiro.
Tourists, merchants, and residents of Montiro all enjoyed a happy time, and no one was seen suffering from misfortune.
He also met many people by spending money, but no one showed any weakness regardless of age or gender. Now, it felt like he was looking for a black tower that didn’t even exist.
‘Chamber is probably angry too.’
Even with the deployment of many elite units including the whirlwind warfare, heavy artillery warfare, and black market agents, she was unable to find anything, so she must have been stamping her feet in frustration.
Sup·
Raon emptied the bottle of alcohol and turned his gaze to the right.
“Huh-huh”
Lencia was humming while knitting.
‘That kid was ordinary too.’
I didn’t take my eyes off Rencia either, as Mine might have been disguised, but she was just a kid with a lot of laughter for her age.
There was one thing that was odd, but it was different from suspecting her.
“Lensia”
“Oh, yes!”
Lencia put down the thread and needle and raised her head. After being treated well for three days, she was now showing a friendly face.
“Everyone here looks happy.”
“As you can see, Kayden, there are only good things.”
Lencia smiled and nodded.
“The weather is nice, the sea is clear, and the people are all friendly. Sometimes monsters appear, but the warriors take care of them all.”
She put her hands together, saying that nothing bad could happen.
“Is that so····”
Raon shook the bottle and took a quick sip.
‘Unfortunately, there are not only happy things in the world.’
Even in the seemingly perfect annex, there are times when negative energy emerges.
There are also instances where the maids fight each other, Silvia sheds tears as she worries about Sia’s condition, and Edgar, who cannot forget his sins, kneels and prays.
Having lived two lives, a past life and a present life, I have felt that there is no such thing as a perfect life or perfect happiness. As long as people live with other people, unconditional happiness does not exist.
“Since the sun has set, shall we leave now?”
Raon put down the empty bottle of alcohol and nodded. Today is the day the underground arena opens. I had wanted to go there before, but since it only opens once a week, I had no choice but to wait until now.
“Yes, I will guide you!”
Lencia put the things she was knitting into her blue bag and got up.
“The entrance fee is quite expensive. Is that okay?”
She asked me as if it was natural since I had been spending money lavishly.
“Ask me what you want”
“Then I’ll go!”
Lencia walked down the street, smiling brightly as if telling him to follow her. At first, he was afraid of her, but now he seemed to have realized that she was a rich rascal and was treating her like a friend.
“This way”
She took herself to a small church behind the Hotel Vallorence.
“Church? There’s a stadium here?”
“Yes, isn’t it strange? I guess people don’t believe in God.”
Lencia entered the church, saying something like she didn’t believe in God herself.
“welcome·”
A man with copper skin who looked to be over 2 meters tall approached wearing a pastor’s attire.
“hello!”
As always, Lencia greeted the adults as soon as she saw them.
“You can just give the entrance fee to the pastor.”
She gestured to someone who was either a pastor or a thug to give her the entrance fee. In reality, her fingertips shook as if she was scared.
“hmm·”
Raon frowned slightly and threw a gold coin.
“May God bless you”
At the wave of the muscular pastor’s hand, a staircase appeared on the floor, leading down to a statue of an angel.
“song·”
As we walked down the stairs along Lencia, a brighter and more splendid space than the lobby of Hotel Vallorence was revealed. Numerous people were enjoying gambling under the brilliant lights.
“This is an underground casino. The odds are 2 to 10 times higher than the casinos you saw outside.”
Lencia nodded, saying that it would be better not to do it unless absolutely necessary.
“If you say something like that…”
“Yes, you can do more, I’m sorry….”
She bit her tongue as if she had made a mistake.
“······”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the people in the casino.
‘I don’t feel any fraud here either.’
Montiro had quite a few gambling houses as a tourist destination. However, even in the gambling houses where people were falling into the abyss, it did not feel like a scam. This was no different.
-There is no magic.
Las wrinkled his nose as if he was dumbfounded.
‘This is ridiculous’
It was a situation that was incomprehensible no matter how you looked at it, with people despairing over losing money and people rejoicing over winning money, but there was no sense of camaraderie.
“Where is the arena?”
“It’s down here.”
Lencia said to go to the next floor and went down to the second basement level across the wide gambling hall. Because the ceiling was high, there were many more stairs to go down than when going down to the gambling hall.
Wow!
When I arrived at the entrance where dim lights were blooming, I heard people cheering. It was a sound that made my blood boil and stimulated my mind. It seemed like the arena had already opened and the fight had begun.
“I think it’s started!”
Lencia waved her hand, telling them to hurry up and go.
“Go slowly”
As Raon leisurely walked down the stairs, Lencia stopped in front of the entrance and stared blankly with her mouth open.
“How did you get here?”
A young man with blue spears slung over both shoulders frowned as he blocked Lencia’s path.
“Ah, Felix! I was guiding a guest to the arena!”
Lencia nodded, as if she knew the young man holding the spear.
“customer?”
A blue-haired young man named Felix frowned at Raon.
“Playing is fine, but isn’t it a bit strange to bring a child to a place like this?”
He let out an uncomfortable breath, saying, “Isn’t that too much?”
“······”
Raon licked his lips as he looked at Lencia, who was smiling brightly but shaking her hand while holding her bag, not at the man named Felix.
‘I guess···’
I think I found a loophole?
