The Blood Knight’s Villains

My Villains Chapter 352

59. Plateau (12)

Ashur.

A handsome man dressed like a jackdaw and somewhat gloomy. The leader of a group of famous bounty hunters on the continent, and an arcane hunter paired with Atalante.

He only slightly raised his lips.

“Do you remember me?”

“…of course.”

This is the first time he has had a face-to-face conversation with Ashur. The last time we met in Modos, all I saw was flying with that tattered magic cloak.

Therefore, the familiarity I feel now must have come from the memory of enjoying the game as Kim Seung-soo.

“As I imagined. That reaction, that look.”

It wasn’t until the moment Ashur muttered that he was having fun that the men who had been rioting realized his true identity and were astonished.

“That bastard! That bastard who was flying and shooting arrows back then!”

“Yes, the heads of the ‘black wolves’.”

As chubby Esson trembled and wiggled his fingers, the veteran conjurer narrowed his brows slightly. Of course, he placed his hand on the weapon while being wary.

“What’s happening all of a sudden?”

“I don’t know either dude.”

McCaig, Henrik Dylan Kavas, and others who joined after Modos had seen Ashur for the first time, but they roughly noticed the situation and gathered their momentum.

“…uh huh?”

Theodora, on the other hand, blinked her eyes as if she didn’t understand what this meant. Then, even though I was drunk, I felt something unusual, so I quickly got up, patting the table.

I shrugged my shoulders at Ashur as I glanced at the subordinates who were ready to attack at any moment and the princess who was leaning against the wall with a bewildered face.

“As you can see, it doesn’t look like we’re going to meet at a tavern like this.”

“hmm? I don’t think so.”

“what?”

He moved slowly and came towards me.

sereung.

The momentum of the subordinates became sharper, and Dervish and Henrik even took out their weapons. Realizing that the situation was getting serious, the tavern owner and the clerks fled the premises in a noiseless fuss.

“Aren’t guys like us always like that? When interests are at stake, allies become enemies and enemies become allies.”

“People like us?”

“okay. I pretend to be a high-class manpower, but in reality I am no different from a serf hunter, and you pretend to be a knight, but in reality you are just a mercenary. If you’re going to take a look at it, it’s going to be there from there.”

“dog sound!”

It was Gidon who was wiping his bloody face who shouted. He spat blood mixed with his teeth, then raised his crossbow and aimed it at Ashur.

“A man who sold his nation for gold wants to be equal to the ruler? Not even funny!”

I heard that the original leader of the black wolves was ‘One-Eyed Dirk’. It was only two or three years ago that Ashur appeared and took Dirk’s place.

Since the Black Wolves were a group that had made a name for themselves on the continent before, there were few people who didn’t know about them, and Ashur before becoming the head of them was also formidably famous.

“Why not a compliment? Few leaders are as determined as I am.”

“Crazy.”

“Thank you for the compliment, but I want you to leave out the killifish. As you can see, I was just about to talk to your master.” Despite the taut steel string and the elongated crossbow bolt on top of it aimed at the middle of his chest, Ashur was relaxed. His eyes were sharp, but there was even a smile on his lips.

It can be roughly inferred from his dark skin, but he was a nude like Atalante. He must have been of fairly noble descent, judging from his gray hair and amber eyes.

Ashur became notorious as a bounty hunter when he sold the entire Nudane clan to a sultan of the Amir Alliance

.

Details are not known, but it is said that there are more than a thousand Nu Danes who went over to the Amir Alliance at that time, and thanks to this, the eastern part of the kingdom became noisy for a while.

“So what kind of conversation are you here for?”

As I took a step forward and put my hand on the black ice, Ashur, who had been slowly approaching, stopped abruptly.

“I hope this is an interesting story. My teeth still grind when I think of being struck by lightning in Longville.”

“It was Master Widal who dropped the thunderbolt. He was one of Galnar’s subordinates, Grand Master of La Palais Palace.”

“Are you trying to play puns with me?”

“you’re welcome. I just want to explain my situation.”

Confair, Dylan, and others moved secretly and surrounded him, but his eyes, which were shining golden in the light, did not waver at all.

“I was just doing what I was commissioned to do. Please do not harbor any regrets.”

“Shouldn’t you be prepared to bear grudge when you receive a request?”

“That’s right. But in the end, it was only our kids who died, right?”

“however?”

“What do you mean by ‘but’? Anything other than

life can be paid in gold.”

Looking for an opportunity, I quickly drew my sword, leaped forward, and cut Ashur’s throat.

In his own estimation, it was a lightning-fast move, but the agile bounty hunter ducked backwards like a leopard to dodge the sword strike. Then, he unfolded his tattered cloak and flapped his wings.

“이 개새끼!”

Fritz, who jumped out of the encirclement, brandished an iron flail.

At that moment, Ashur’s body split in two. One was faint and the other sharp. Fritz’s iron weight struck the clear shape with a fierce sound.

fish food.

The shape struck by the iron weight dispersed like smoke, and the faint shape became clear as if it were showing itself. Ashur created illusions with the power of vision.

As if fluttering and swimming, he was about to pounce on him again, but –

“Stop!”

Ashur held out his right hand hidden inside his cloak. Seeing the object held there, I hurriedly stopped and dissuaded my men.

“Stop stop!”

Fritz and others, who were about to rush in, looked back at me with an expression of incomprehension, but I had no choice but to grit my teeth.

“….♦.Damn it.”

It was a piece of stone. A piece of white stone engraved with cracking earth.

It was the runestone ‘Great Earthquake’.

“It was a good try. Do you have a talent for ambush?”

Ashur, who had thin scratches on his cheeks, quickly wiped off the blood and raised the power of his vision. An invisible force worked and the open wound closed.

“Hiding the blood is important when dealing with a blood mage.”

“I’m glad you recognized the rune stones. It could have turned this small, lively town into a mess.”

The Earthquake Runestone contains the power to cause an intense earthquake in a certain range. It wasn’t about the level of shaking the ground, but about an earthquake that was so intense that the surface of the ground turned over and lava erupted.

As Ashur said, if that runestone was activated now, Longdale would disappear without a trace.

“Are you here to commit suicide?”

“no way.”

At my sarcasm, he fluttered the hem of his cloak.

“I am confident in running away.”

“okay? Can I run away enough to fly away?”

Ashur glanced at Gidon with a crossbow and Kavas with a shortbow, to be exact.

“What is this?”

A purple glow emanated from Jiying’s golden eyes.

The brilliance rose toward the ceiling like smoke billowing, and a minute shock wave exploded soon after.

“Billion big—”

“Ssi-x What is this?”

The ‘mental wave’ caused by Ashur grabbed their heads and staggered. I, too, felt the pain of hundreds of needles piercing my head and hurriedly raised my mana.

“O uh” —=r

“Calm down. It’s just a demonstration of my abilities for conversation.”

“Huh.”

After the mental wave was shaken off, the bubbling blood filled the blood vessels throughout the body as if it had waited. As I continued to glar at him, Ashur hardened his expression and took a step back.

In addition to that,

“Dare to use witchcraft.”

Theodora, regaining her focus, stepped forward, gripping the table.

and firm orders.

“Stand back-”

A flash of light exploded and a powder of glittering light came out and penetrated the bodies of the men.

It was the ‘light of protection’ that amplified the various defensive abilities of allies.

“Uh-”

“Uh-huh, this is strange…

The subordinates are ready to fight again, while making subtle expressions with a strange sense.

“Lord of light—”

Gidon the crossbow trembled and rolled the rosary, but otherwise, Ashur was quickly surrounded by his men.

“Hmm…

Ashur looked around me and Theodora mercenaries and scratched the tip of his nose with an embarrassed expression.

“Fucked. Only then did it really seem like they came to commit suicide together.”

“Isn’t it time to relax?”

“Yeah, I guess.”

“Put that down before I burst your head.”

“…It’s bloody. Guess who isn’t a bloody swordsman.”

He smiled again. This time, she drew arcs to her eyes, which shimmered with a purple glow.

“What do you think meets the conditions for a perfect conversation?”

“…Are you talking bullshit again?”

“It’s bullshit. Now we’re equal. Now that we’ve taken each other’s lives, it’s time for a heartfelt conversation. is not it?”

Despite the immediate situation, Ashur laughed happily.

Seeing his appearance, Confair and Dervish tensed their weapons, while Fritz and Henrik sweared.

“Yeah, it seems so. Instead, stop talking nonsense and talk about the main topic.”

“I will.”

Ashur took off his crumpled tricorne hat and brushed his hair.

“I’m here to offer you a deal.”

“transaction?”

“Okay deal. It is a mutually beneficial transaction.”

“I received two requests. Both of them were about grabbing the girl. One was a fire witch and one was a ‘Lady in black’.”

“…a black woman?”

“Yes, that East Continent Assassin who was next to you.”

It’s obvious, but it’s a bunch.

Due to the nature of the mungchi, he would not have been noticed by others, but did he have a nickname?

“But I mean, they’re both gone now.”

With his hair straightened and his road cap pressed down, Ashur grumbled.

“Because the fearsome monk disappeared without a word, and Grandmaster Galnar was reduced to ashes.”

The ‘terrifyingly strong monk’ is probably ‘Il Jin’, a monk and martial artist of the Jemu sect. But

“Galnar is dead?”

“…Ah, it seems like the news hasn’t been delivered. yes dead I heard that the fire witch burned herself?”

What about Ellen?

No, how did a guy with a little over level 30 catch the grand master of the palace?

While I was confused, Ashur’s words continued.

“The request fell through, and rumors spread that the Black Wolves were a group hostile to Ulkar’s warlords. If this continues, the business may come to a standstill.”

“so’?”

“Hire us.”

“…what?”

“Hire me. I will pay you cheaply.”

I was at a loss for words for a moment, then burst out laughing.

“Are you crazy? What do I believe in and hire you guys?”

“If you don’t want to believe it, just introduce yourself to Ulkar. If he were a nobleman, he would make the right decision.”

Ashur shrugged his shoulders with a deep smile.

“Actually, I don’t want to go under you either. How many children have you lost?”

“…This is a complete jerk.”

“Yes, I agree.”

As I looked at him with my mouth open, Ashur raised his eyebrows and asked.

“so? Are you going to ignore a resource as competent as me?”

You really are a crazy bastard
