A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

Danger Pass, Kush Mountains.

Maglock escorted Inissa all the way here and finally stopped.

After two days of traveling since leaving Fridum, even Maglock was exhausted, not to mention Inissa who was still a child...

"Uncle... so thirsty..."

"Hold on, we'll be there soon."

Maglock handed the water bag to Inissa and let her drink the last bit of water.

Looking around the cliffs near the pass, Maglock kept recalling the scene he saw when he passed by here a year ago.

At that time, he led the cavalry and arrived at the pass first to meet up with troops from other countries. He met an old man who had lived there for many years.

After some conversation, I learned that the old man originally lived in the mountains and led a self-sufficient life with his wife.

To be honest, it's quite surprising, because in these remote mountains, survival is much more difficult than living.

But the old man looked quite healthy, and his body was not hunched over like an elderly person.

This shows how rich his life is...

This is the closest safe place to Freedum where people live. From the beginning, Maglock had planned to place Inissa here and ask the two old people to take care of her...

But when I got here, I didn't know how to find the old man.

The last time I saw him, the old man was climbing the cliff alone. Maybe the entrance to the mountain is on the cliffs on both sides...

"Inesha, wait for me here... I'll go up and check the situation. Don't run around, okay?"

Maglock said to Inissa.

"Ah."

......

Rock climbing. When Maglock was in Hagar City, he started to run to the mountains west of the city alone to exercise his body since he was a child. Even after being in prison for a few years, he is not unfamiliar with it.

Relying on his memory of the position where he had seen the old man, Maglock climbed to that position.

There happened to be a platform where you could rest.

We searched everywhere for Maglock, which might be the entrance to the mountain, but didn't find any unusual places.

The rock walls on both sides were bare, without even a hole.

It's impossible that he climbed down from the top of the cliff...

Maglock himself couldn't do it, let alone the old man.

"Boy, we meet again."

Just when Maglock was confused, the old man's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Maglock turned his head sharply and met the old man's bright eyes.

"How...how did you..."

The rock wall from before is still there, but how did the old man appear...behind him?

"It's just a little trick... You must have seen it a lot..."

As he spoke, the old man reached out his hand to touch the rock wall, and after a wave of movement, he actually went straight through it.

"I understand... You are indeed a very capable person. I was indeed blind to your potential."

"It's been a year since we last met. What's going on? Are we going to fight again?"

"...It's a long story..."

"Then don't say it."

"..."

I almost forgot that the old man has always had a weird temper, that's why...otherwise how could he live in such a remote place.

"I must have something to ask you, old man. Tell me. I will help you if I can. I'm sorry if I can't."

The old man came straight to the point.

".....It's like this, there is a child, I hope you can take care of her..."

As he spoke, Maglock looked toward the pass.

Ok?

What about people?

The pass was empty except for a few tumbleweeds blown by the wind, and Inissa was nowhere to be seen.

"Oops......"

"Is the person missing? Go look for him. Come back to see me when you find him."

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, disappearing into the rock wall.

"Please wait!"

Maglock tried to keep the old man, but crashed into the rock wall.

This is not just a simple trick...

I can't worry about this anymore. The most important thing right now is to find Inissa.

what happened......

Could it be that people from the church are chasing us?

It's unlikely that they even knew their destination.

Maglock thought as he quickly climbed down from the rock wall.

Is it a robber?

Not really...

Because the water bag given to Inissa was also taken away, it was obvious that they were not brutal robbers...

Damn it... at this moment...

Maglock was distraught.

Whoever took Inissa away must have bad intentions...

Maglock glanced up accidentally and saw a head flashing on the top of the cliff, as if he had been observing for a long time...

Is that the guy...

It seems that no matter what, I must find a way to go into the mountains...

Thinking this, Maglock walked deeper into the pass.

......

Freedham.

There's something wrong with the atmosphere in the city these past two days.

It was not because of the initial murder case, but because a large number of adventurers had been coming in and out of the city gate during this period, and many of them were injured, which made the residents of the city very worried.

Since most of the residents who immigrated here have experienced war and natural disasters, they all know very well what it means when adventurers in a region begin to move on a large scale.

So-called adventurers are almost always heading towards the most dangerous places on the continent...

Plus the sandstorm that has been raging outside the city for days... that is to say...

For a time, people in the newly born free city were in panic.

There is still a large unplanned area in the northwest of the city. Since the sandstorm began to rage outside the city, this area has been temporarily designated as a refugee camp.

Most of them are desert people.

In the past, who would have thought that they would be able to find a place to settle down so quickly after encountering a natural disaster?

Not to mention the distant past, let's just say that ten years ago, at least half of all the desert tribes were destroyed in the sandstorm, with not even a root left...

All countries were unable to take in so many refugees, resulting in them having no place to stay, and countless of them subsequently died of starvation and thirst.

Even those who managed to escape to other countries would be treated as illegal immigrants, and their final fate would be nothing more than slavery...

Among them, the ones with the best ending should be those who escaped to the Kingdom of Fajia. At least they can join the Desert Militia Corps of the Kingdom of Fajia, even though they are just cannon fodder... But if they are lucky and capable, they can also live a more comfortable life by earning military merits.

Now, Friedham stands south of the desert and is willing to take in refugees of all races.

Mass extinctions like those that occurred before will probably never happen again.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the refugee camp is much better than other places in the city.

"Boss, we can't just stay here forever. Is there still no news about the job you talked about?"

"Alas... no news, no news... In the current situation, I'm afraid they don't have the time to do construction. Just wait, when the sandstorm outside stops, they will come to find me naturally."

"Is there a possibility, just a possibility, Boss, that the dwarves' construction skills are actually better than yours, and they just look down on you?"

"..."

There is a saying that goes, "Lies hurt little, but the truth is the sharpest knife."

"Stop talking... I feel like there's a thorn in my heart right now, and I can't get it out even with tweezers..."

"Boss, I...I just said it casually, don't take it seriously..."

"Damn it... Never mind... I won't wait any longer. I'm going to the Adventurer's Guild to find a job!"

"...But Boss, didn't you say that going there to do it would be complicated and all that?"

"That's better than just sitting here doing nothing!"

Ever since Yan pointed out a clear path for him, he escaped from the sandstorm, and came to Freedum to see the prosperous prospects here, the former sand bandit leader no longer wanted to go back to his old business.

What he really wants is to take root here with his brothers and do something great.

In fact, this is also what most of the refugees who have just arrived in Friedenheim think.

The days of living in uncertainty like before are long gone.

It's time to embrace a new life.
