Episode 282
“Lord Eun Sang-sang has already left.”
As he was busy with construction work, he left for the imperial palace as soon as his work outside the world was somewhat completed.
After treatment for colon cancer, he has been practicing martial arts like crazy.
His health is so good that he seems to be able to travel long distances like this with ease.
“Who is behind you?”
“Ah, this is Howie.”
It’s ilkanada.
Ilkana greeted me without changing my expression.
“Meet the Three Princes.”
It is a meeting between a former assassin and a former target.
Fortunately, the Three Princes were sleeping at the time and did not recognize him.
Outside of the world, there seems to be a bit of a dark current flowing through the world.
“Looking at your accent, it seems like you’re from the Serim Church.”
“yes. you’re right. “I became connected to the brother and started working together.”
“okay. It’s unusual for a warrior from that region to work with someone from the central region… but you are indeed a white-clothed god. “You attract so many people with your personality.”
Fortunately, the three princes, who were born and raised in the makjang’s water vein, were completely unaware of the inside story.
“Then I have to go back to Dadu Kingdom for work. I will not forget the grace of the White God Dragon. “I want to do something in return.”
Jin Tianxi immediately shook his head.
“If you’d like to thank me, all I can do is hope that our relationship with the empire will improve a bit. That… I absolutely do not mean to give in unconditionally, Your Highness the Three Princes. Of course, Dadu Kingdom should also benefit.”
“You want peace.”
“yes. I hope there is no war. “That way the people will be at peace.”
The three princes were lost in thought for a moment at Jin Cheon-hee’s words.
Finally, he nodded softly.
“Diplomacy is heavier than a sword. Of course, there are forces in the kingdom who favor joining forces with the Serim Church to attack the empire. I am also against war. Even if that’s not the case, you’ve opened a trade route, but shouldn’t you make money? “It’s best for a merchant to just be peaceful.”
I’m glad the Three Princes didn’t sell the weapons.
And fortunately, he did not convert to Serimism.
It was truly fortunate that we were able to save him.
“Then I’ll see you again someday. “Please take care of yourself.”
“yes. White-clothed dragon. “I look forward to seeing you again in the near future.”
Since I’ve done everything, there’s no benefit in having a longer greeting.
After all, meeting and breaking up is the nature of martial arts people.

“What are you going to do now? “Brother?”
After saying my final goodbyes, I immediately packed my bags and headed out.
In a way, you could say it was like running away.
If you stay any longer, the Three Princes will inevitably grab your ankles and ask you to stay longer.
It would be better to run away while you can before you get kidnapped for no reason.
“I have to go to the imperial capital. You’ll have to go and rob the imperial palace. Before that, I need to send a letter to my teacher about the current situation. “You must be worried.”
“Oh, so you’re buying a gift.”
“yes. I’m planning to bring a lot of special products that I think Master will like. And I also take care of my younger siblings.”
There were many exotic sculptures and accessories in the market.
Since I’ve come all the way down here, I’m going to buy a lot of things that have an out-of-this-world feeling and send them to everyone.
“okay. But there are already people following behind us, so what can we do? “Brother?”
“….”
Instead of answering, Jin Cheon-hee stroked Hwang-gu’s head once.
Hwanggu had already sensed that he was being followed through his body language.
Still, it was so secret that I thought only Hwang-gu noticed it, but Ilkana seems to have noticed it too.
Jin Cheon-hee answered in a low voice that only she could hear in the noisy market.
“What can I do? I have to deal with it. They’ll attack us once we leave the city, so we’ll have to deal with them then. Oh, of course, there’s one thing I have to do before that.”
“What is. “Brother.”
“Um… the first step for you to become stronger…?”
Ilkana smiled faintly at those words.
“That’s right. That’s very interesting. “Brother.”
* * *
The desert night is dark and cold.
Just two people are setting up a tent and sitting in front of a bonfire, without any guards.
No matter how you looked at it, they were clearly tempting you to attack them, and they weren’t assassins who would turn down that.
‘Well, after they kill us, they will have their next plans scheduled.’
This is a story I heard from Ilkana.
Just as doctors make a schedule for who to check on patients first, therapists also have a schedule.
After killing one target, you must not rest but move on to the next target.
Of course, the assassin in this world would have learned martial arts or chakra, so he won’t get tired easily, but he still seems to have a schedule like a professional.
‘Of course, it would be a little different if it was a big person like the Three Princes…’
But if it’s someone like that, they won’t sleep for ten days and will keep looking for an opening.
The target is the apostate Ilkana.
If she goes far into the midfield, the assassination difficulty increases several times.
It’s probably not a situation where you can tell between cold and hot food.
“In addition, many of the brothers around here died at the hands of their classmates, so there must have been a manpower shortage. It’s going to be a little tight.”
‘Well, the world of organizations is all the same.’
Even the strong people who die for fashion and live for fashion are actually similar in the end because they have to work while earning monthly wages.
As long as we are human, we have to eat every meal, pay for food, and sleep under a roof.
Even maintaining my own home costs money.
How long have you been sitting?
Jin Cheonhee yawned slightly and asked.
[I can feel the gaze, but there is no attack. Should I at least pretend to sleep?]
“There’s no need for that. “Brother.”
She got up.
He pulled out a double-edged sword with a curved tip, threw it around once as if he were juggling, and caught it with his fingertips.
“Anyway, we both know what to do next, right? “Let’s just give it a try.”
That wasn’t a midfielder’s comment.
However, Jin Cheon-hee is a genius who uses the Xuanyuan Jeondanshin technique like a meal.
Since I lived in Wanong for a long time, understanding foreign languages was not a big problem.
Nowadays, a foreign language is as natural as your native language.
At her words, countless figures slithered out from the darkness.
“May light and darkness be together. “Brother.”
“May the love of the desert be with you. “Brother.”
The sight of each person walking out of the darkness while saying hello was quite crazy.
Ilkana also greeted them.
“May the grace of the crescent moon be with you. “Brothers.”
They were the ones who stabbed each other in the stomach a little later and checked the color of each other’s intestines.
Yet, why is it so quiet and peaceful?
Salsu, who had many wrinkles around his eyes, opened his mouth.
“I received an order to kill my brother, but I couldn’t see any room, so I just waited.”
Ilkana responded without any sign of surprise.
“Your father came in person.”
“Yes, brother, although I did not give birth to you myself. All techniques and magic were passed down to me. “Didn’t they say that it is right for those who sow the seeds to reap the harvest?”
The clear eyes were straight and shining.
It was bizarre.
What they do is kill people.
I heard that the Assassination Cult was created to do just that and worship the God of Destruction.
But they were surprisingly calm.
Ilkana said.
“You took me in when I was young and taught me, so even though you didn’t give birth to me, you are my father. It would be right for my father, who gave me a second life, to harvest the harvest. But… my father is not a farmer, and I am not a rice farmer either.”
“Brother.”
Ilkana’s brows furrow slightly.
“I am a human being. father. “I don’t want to commit suicide.”
The person called ‘Father’ nodded.
“Brother. You were the one with the strongest ego among the kids your age. “I knew that I would put my own way ahead of our school’s doctrine.”
He never gets angry at Ilkana’s words.
He gently drew the same curved double dagger that Ilkana held.
Slurp –
The double dagger, which is older and more dirty than Ilkana’s, must have slaughtered countless more people than she has slaughtered.
Nevertheless, being able to look at Ilkana’s words without anger and look like that is definitely fanaticism.
These were words and actions that only a fanatic who deeply believed in the denomination could ever do.
Ilkana took a deep breath and spoke to Jin Cheonhee.
“Did you say you would make me stronger? “Brother?”
“yes.”
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“Then please stop interfering from now on.”
In this crazy world, either the adoptive father kills the adoptive daughter or the adoptive daughter kills the adoptive father.
She wanted to finish it alone, without anyone’s help.
“….”
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes turned blue under the moon.
The one called ‘Father’ answered this way.
“It’s a shame. Brother, you will never be able to defeat me, who taught me the techniques. The only thing that is your lifeline is the White God Dragon…”
“It’s okay. father. I feel the best right now. “I feel better than when you dropped me into a scorpion hole and starved me for five days to teach me.”
Ilkana smiled brightly, showing his fangs.
It wasn’t the same distorted smile as before.
“It’s really fun. father. Ever since you covered my back with the symbol of a heated cult. “I wanted to kill you too.”
There is a long way to go before you can kill your first father.
However, I think I could kill my second father right away.
Even if I ended up failing and dying, I had no intention of complaining.
She glanced over and looked at Jin Tianxi’s worried eyes.
‘A kind person.’
Plus, her face is so beautiful that it must have upset many people’s hearts.
I feel like I want to cling to that kindness.
However, I knew that if I couldn’t even settle my affairs, I would forget about walking alone forever, let alone taking revenge.
“Hahaha, come on. father. “There couldn’t be a better night than this to change that dog-bone face.”
“That’s sad. “It’s sad… daughter.”
With those words as a signal, ‘Father’ and the assassins under Father’s command moved simultaneously, drawing afterimages.
