Chapter 426: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family
313. That guy is also in the shadows?
Hadil didn’t even frown at the wound that had been bleeding from the wound.
Even while riding a horse and shaking.
Assassins probably all receive this type of training in common.
“But Dane, couldn’t you have used a potion instead?”
“It was a wound that the potion didn’t work on. The weapons that assassins use are coated with a mineral that makes potions ineffective.”
“aha.”
While Ernest’s curiosity was being satisfied, our pursuit was made easy.
Thanks to Hadil’s joining, there was no need to go through the hassle of stopping, getting off the horse, checking things out, and then getting back on.
“You must feel quite betrayed, Hadeel.”
In the midst of this, when Dekus asked quietly, Hadil shook his head.
“I just hope that my comrades who are being held captive by the Rune guy are safe. The purpose is important, but those who share the same purpose are more important.”
“That’s why I’ve been jealous of you since long ago.”
“Was it like that? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
Judging from the way they’re joking around, it seems like their relationship wasn’t bad to begin with.
“By the way, you raised your son amazingly. I heard that your daughters and sons are all incredibly talented.”
“It must be incredible. Especially since you even made Brant unable to move.”
Hardil added a word to Dekus’ words.
“I even let it go on purpose.”
“… … Did you know?”
“I just assumed it was true, but it turned out to be true.”
Hadil looked at me with an expression full of admiration.
I just shrugged and changed the subject.
“But where is that? A place where Brant would go?”
“This is the place I intended to use as a base when I achieved my dream. It’s a place I prepared little by little every time I went on an assassination mission.”
Looks like they’ve been planning this for quite some time.
“It’s just a few more hours. Another hour or so and you’ll reach the small town of Ladarin, disguised as a small shop building.”
If you buy a building in a small town and do it, it’s considered pretty serious.
“The preparations are quite grand.”
“Because we prepared for that long.”
At this point I asked.
“Why are you telling me all this?”
This is a kind of core verification procedure.
Until just a few hours ago, Hardil was Brant’s henchman whom we were chasing and fighting.
Even to the point of attacking us.
That person is helping us now.
“If you were betrayed, stabbed, had a hole in your stomach, and then got hurt and stopped the bleeding… … That’s too simplistic, isn’t it?”
Even though he had been through that, the loyalty I saw from this guy to Brandt seemed to have a slightly different meaning.
“I was going to tell you a little further.”
Hadil scratched the back of his head as if he had no other choice.
“Please stop Brandt. But… … please don’t kill him.”
Please don’t kill me.
I nodded without much thought.
“Okay.”
“Do you accept it so easily?”
“As long as you don’t try to get in my way or kill me, then you’re welcome.”
To begin with, I don’t have any feelings for Brandt.
If anything, I have feelings for this guy. Because he was after Ernest.
Of course, I wasn’t hurt and it wouldn’t have happened, so I don’t really feel anything.
“… … You are so refreshing. Thank you.”
“Why are you asking me to do that?”
I asked again.
Then Hadil sighed.
“I feel sorry and sad. I don’t want to see him end up like this.”
Hardil has probably been with Brandt for quite some time.
Well, I’m not sure if there are other reasons, but it’s not my place to know.
Hadil suddenly asked me a question.
“Then I’d like to ask you one thing. Why did you join?”
Since it was a story with nothing to hide, I answered simply.
“To obtain the ancient assassination sword.”
“I see. As expected.”
It seems like this guy doesn’t know that the Ancient Assassin’s Blade is reacting to me.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
You’ll find out soon enough.
That’s how the story ended.
We continued walking again, and the assassins, accustomed to silence, kept their mouths shut, but without any awkwardness or boredom, they moved forward.
Only Ernest, unable to bear this silent atmosphere, came next to me and spoke to me quietly.

“Dane. Do I really have to do nothing?”
“If that guy runs away, I’ll have something to do.”
“Oh, I’m bored.”
“That’s good. But I got here thanks to you.”
If it weren’t for Ernest, it would have been quite difficult to track him down.
Or maybe you were confused and were taken by surprise.
In retrospect, things would have worked out even if Ernest hadn’t been there, but there’s no need to look at the situation that way.
The law of looking at the original result and the process together.
“But it’s less boring because you followed me. It wouldn’t have been as fun if I had been with the kids. Some of them have already gone back to the academy. By the way, what about Venatio? Didn’t you say he went back to the capital?”
ah.
I forgot about it for a moment.
I wonder if that guy went back and reported everything.
No, maybe… … .
Could it be that they are already following me?
* * *
bang.
Small town, Ladarin.
The door of a building on one side of the street, where people were coming and going quite a bit because the sun had not yet set, opened roughly.
The man who opened the door was a man of ordinary appearance, but he seemed more anxious than I expected.
“Welcome… … .”
And the owner of the general store on the first floor of the building’s building’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw the man who opened the door and came in.
“You’re back.”
“Who came and went?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“When did you first come here or did you feel the eyes of surveillance around you?”
“That wasn’t there either.”
A strangely urgent appearance.
The owner of the general store, or rather, codename ‘Entaro’, felt puzzled by the completely different appearance from usual.
‘Has this person ever been this agitated?’
The Brandt Entaro knows is a person who, far from being agitated, remains frighteningly calm and collected in all situations.
Not only did such a person open the door to this convenience store in a hurry and come in, but he was also asking questions like that.
“Seal down the building.”
“All right.”
Of course, I may feel puzzled, but I have no doubts.
If you give me instructions, I will follow.
That’s the kind of behavior that like-minded people should show.
Crunch.
Entaro approached the door, lowered the latch, double- and triple-locked the door, and activated the magically-powered lock.
And only after getting to that point did Entaro suddenly feel a sense of doubt and ask.
“The other comrades who went together… … .”
Before the question could even be finished, Brandt felt around on the floor and opened the door.
Crunch.
What appeared then was not a door leading to the basement, but another floor.
Of course, it wasn’t made so sloppily that the underground passage would be revealed as soon as it was opened.
Ssuk, knock.
Brandt opened the door once and tapped the exposed floor at set points.
Then, after a while, what moved was not the floor that had just been knocked on, but the wall behind the stall.
Should we call it thorough security?
This was the first time that Entaro had seen the back wall open like this.
Because up until now, Brant had never shown this in a situation where someone was with him.
It was proof of how urgent it was, but Entaro began to feel even more puzzled because of it.
“Entaro. Follow me.”
“yes.”
Entaro followed Brandt to the open wall without saying a word.
There was a ladder underneath the narrow space, which led down to the basement.
‘Sweating?’
Entaro noticed beads of sweat forming on the nape of Brant’s neck and forehead as he took the lead.
The moment when wonder turns to doubt.
‘Are we being chased?’
Entaro doesn’t know the details of what’s going on.
I just know that the plan is underway.
So I didn’t really know what was happening to Brandt or what was happening to his like-minded comrades.
They just trust that Brandt, who is now descending underground in front of them, will bring them out of the shadows.
“Excuse me, is something wrong?”
“… … .”
“Brandt?”
“Nothing happened. More importantly, who came before me?”
“Yes? No, there wasn’t any.”
Why are you asking this?
Even in Entaro’s eyes, Brandt looked strangely anxious.
Are you being chased by something?
Something is strange.
Even the friend who always went with me is gone.
‘I guess… … it’s strange.’
Now that these reasons have gathered together, doubts are beginning to gather in Entaro’s mind-
“stop.”
Something completely unexpected happened to Brandt.
“Who are you?”
A blade approaches the back of Brandt’s neck.
“What are you doing now… … .”
“You’re not Brant. The Brant I know doesn’t act this impatient. Are you one of the guys who went against our will? Dekus? Or Rune?”
Brandt was beyond dumbfounded.
His own impatience had led to his suspicion and anger, but for now, Entaro was the only one blocking his path.
“Entaro, don’t do something you’ll regret. I’m busy right now.”
“It is your fault. Who are you? Answer me.”
There’s nothing I can do.
Brandt turned his body at a speed that Entaro could hardly imagine-
“I told you to clean it up.”
Sigh.
Before I knew it, I had pushed away Entaro’s dagger with the dagger I was holding in my hand and stabbed him in the neck in one breath.
“Ugh.”
It was something that happened in a flash in that narrow passage.
Skills that are on a different level from Entaro.
Blood gushed out, and Entaro, who had been stabbed in the neck, collapsed like a wooden doll.
Whoosh.
Brant turned around without hesitation.
If it were normal, I would have confirmed death and disposed of the body, but there is no time for that now.
‘The fragments must be recovered.’
Now that it’s come to this, if Entaro can hold out a little longer, things won’t be so bad.
Because after the pursuers find Entaro, they’ll waste time there.
‘That guy would probably be dead though.’
There was no guilt.
It was you who stabbed Hadil, and it was you who just knocked down Entaro like that.
The important thing is the ancient assassination sword.
If only he had that symbol entirely in his hands, his comrades would still believe in him and follow him… … .
Finally, he steps out of the shadows and begins a new era of assassins.
‘First, recover the fragments and wait for a moment of surprise attack.’
At that moment, after thinking for a moment, I was naturally about to go down.
“Crunch.”
A hand grabbing one’s ankle.
It was Entaro.
Brandt tried to shake it off in one breath, but Entaro’s jaws were stronger than he thought.
“… … I guess I was greatly misunderstood.”
Brandt smiled bitterly.
If I had just a little more time, I would have explained it.
But I still don’t regret it.
It just makes me angry.
Ugh.
Without hesitation, Brandt stepped on Entaro’s wrist with his other foot, crushing it.
The eyes that appeared at first glance were sparkling with something unknown, and when Entaro saw them, he shivered and fell down.
And then.
Thud, thud.
A sound coming from above.
“… … !”
I thought I knew it right away.
They came charging right in front of our noses.
Brandt went straight down to the basement.
Where he hid the fragments of the ancient assassination sword.
After removing the fragments from there, he escapes through a passage known only to him.
Then go outside, locate their location, and make a surprise attack to recover the remaining fragment.
The plan was perfect.
Suddenly.
Until finally I went down and retrieved the bundles of fragments from the box where I had hidden them.
‘You never know.’
After a moment’s hesitation, Brandt took out a few fragments and placed them in another box, camouflaging them.
Just in case something happens.
When he was robbed of his fragments, he made a final desperate attempt.
‘Now all you have to do is go.’
To be exact, when I turned around to head towards the secret passage after recovering the fragments-
“It’s over, Brandt.”
Brandt could see three figures emerging from the shadows.
Deckers.
Okay.
and.
“… … I didn’t know that guy would jump out of the shadows?”
To Dane Sogres.
