Chapter 201
“Aaagh-!”
Ram Hwayeon’s body flew into the air.
The assassin, who had transformed into a chair, released his transformation and lifted his body.
The action of the assassin, who faintly noticed that he was caught, was slightly faster than Leeha’s.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
If Leeha’s musket had been a normal musket, the assassin would have been able to escape safely, even if it was the hummingbird.
“Cough......”
However, not now.
It was not from a musket that shot iron bullets, but from [Black Bass] that shot a bullet the length of a woman’s palm.
It was a bullet that had the same caliber as an anti-ship sniper rifle which had the destructive power to tear apart a human body by simply grazing it.
Just like how the ankle of the assassin disappeared.
“Unni! Ice-”
“Guild master-nim!You!”
Ram Hwajeong and Jacheong raised their weapons.
Seething with anger, they had the momentum to freeze and destroy the assassin at any moment!
Leeha quickly spoke.
“Don’t kill him!We need to capture him!”
“-Spear.”
Swiiik, However, Ram Hwajeong’s casting was too fast.
A spear made of ice had already pierced the assassin’s chest.
“Damn it, check his face-”
He approached the assassin who had already turned dark.
He wanted to see the face of the guy wearing a mask, however, Leeha was not able to.
He wondered if he could find any clues....
“This......”
The guy in the mask was shattered by the ice spear in an instant.
“H-he was about to die anyway-”
Seeing Leeha’s hardened expression, Ram Hwajeon quickly spoke.
She knew.
Leeha’s bullet blew off the assassin’s ankle, but the damage wasn’t only at that level.
Even if she hadn’t used magic, the assassin would have died.
Even so, the thought of her sister being in danger made her angry which resulted in her casting magic.......
So the assassin disappeared faster.
“..So..rry oppa.”
Ram Hwajeong, spoke in a quiet voice and provided no further explanation upon seeing Leeha’s face harden.
She wondered if her Leeha oppa would get angry.
He might even scream.
Middle Earth’s genius, nicknamed Ice Witch, was still close to being a ‘child’.
Seeing the tense atmosphere between Leeha and Hwajeong, Jacheong tried to speak, however, Leeha’s hand was already raised.
“H-Ha Leeha-nim-!”
Will he slap Ram Hwajeong?!
Of course not.
Isn’t it her job to prevent her unni from dying?
Ram Hwajeong, who had her head bowed, flinched the moment Leeha’s hand touched her head, but her face turned red as his hand softened.
“It’s okay.It can’t be helped.I was able to check one thing.”
Leeha smiled and stroked her hair.
He thought of it as experimenting with the additional content that appeared in the quest window.
[Intimacy with Fibiel’s Royal Family increased by 5%.]
“Ah, what is it, Jacheong-nim?”
“Ah, no- nothing. By the way, what-?”
“It’s a notification window. The intimacy increased by 5%.”
In the quest description, it said that the intimacy with the royal family will increase whenever an assassin was killed or captured.
Leeha told them the answer, but Jacheong and the others’ faces were clueless.
“Oh?It didn’t show up for you?”
“Cough, it’s difficult. So what should we do? Do we need to take turns to stand guard?”
Kijeong held his chin.
It wasn’t a complete solution.
In the end, Kijeong’s suggestion was the best, but....
Everyone was lost in their own thoughts.
All of them were people who had goals when it came to hunting, dungeon raids, and raids.
But this time, they were in a defensive position.
What the hell were they supposed to do?
It was not easy for people like Tale, a martial artist, or Bobae, a former archery player, to come up with an answer.
Except for one person.
“Jacheong-nim.”
“Yes.”
In the quiet meeting room, Leeha opened his mouth.
“I need some supplies from Hwahong. For everyone. And Nara-ssi, I want you to give me a map of the Royal Palace and the routes of NPCs currently on patrol. Biyemi-nim, tell me everything you know about the members of the guild called [Midnight Circus].”
“What are you going to do...?”
The head of the former soldier spun endlessly.
No, he expected something like this in the first place.
Wasn’t it the reason why he gathered the people like this?.
“If we can’t trust the NPCs, we have to protect the castle. Everyone, please listen.”
**********************************
-Is the patrol team okay?
-Jacheong-nim talks to the NPCs a lot, so it’s a little slow, but.... There’s nothing special.
-All right.
-Please continue working hard, Tale-nim.
-Always watch out for traps.
Leeha stuck his head out through the window of the tallest tower in the Central Palace and examined Tale and Jacheong as they patrolled the ground.
He monitored what was happening using the Eagle’s Eye skill and the 444m dedicated scope attached to the Hummingbird pistol.
Leeha was extremely alert in monitoring the entire palace’s garden, and the south side, the main entrance to the royal palace.
“Bobae-ssi, how is everything on your side?”
“Yes.The wall I am looking at is the closest to the Central Palace, so I shouldn’t neglect it. I’m watching while using scrolls and my detection skills.” Besides him, Bobae watched over the entire northern wall.
All sorts of scrolls had been added to the eyes of the top 10 world-ranked archer.
If she only needed to look at one side without paying attention to other things, she would not miss a single ant.
“Okay, this one is over, and the next......”
Leeha looked at the coarsely drawn map of the royal palace and contacted the other team.
It was rather surprising that Shin Nara was not able to get a perfectly drawn map of the royal palace.
-Western wall, is everything good?
-Of course!...
-Are you doing well, Ha Leeha! Aren’t you flirting with the girl next to you, Bobae or something?!
-What are you talking about....... Bobae-ssi is very vigilant right now. We don’t even have time to talk.
-Bobae-ssi? You’re already calling her like that?
Ram Hwayeon’s voice was deafening-!
Leeha’s head rang.
From the moment the group formed the boundary, she was like, “Why are they together”.
Leeha could not understand why the red-haired woman was like that.
‘She didn’t speak much at first, but became very hysterical.’ However, he could not do anything because they needed to check for irregularities every hour.
Leeha held his ringing head and whispered again.
– What do you mean already? Anyway, I wish you all the best. According to Nara-ssi, the western wall was originally a place with a small number of traps. That’s why I put Ram Hwajeong there so that she could build a boundary system-
– What!? Don’t you believe in Hwajeong?
-Phew, I believe, I believe! Of course, I believe Ram Hwajeong-ssi. By the way, Ram Hwayeon you-
-What?! What about me?! Hmp, I just didn’t get past level 200, but I am pretty much an outsider?! Ram Hwayeon, out-!
She shouted.
Leeha secretly sighed and continued.
-I’m still worried. Ram Hwayeon, I’m afraid you will get hurt.
