A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"how do you know......"

Maglock felt more and more that something was wrong with the girl in front of him.

I didn't tell her where the destination was, so how did she know?

"I'm sorry, whether I ask or not, whether Sir Maglock answers or not, the story is there...sooner or later it will be known..."

"Oh, forget it. A forced melon is not sweet. I don't want to answer you when I see you like this... I can only measure the truth with my own feet..."

After denying her own question, the girl stood up and walked out of the tent where sand was flying all over the sky.

"...Isn't she a little...hmm?"

Maglock pointed at his head and asked the other two.

Melissa shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Nagash said:

"It's just that he is a little different from ordinary people. With him here, at least the journey won't be too boring..."

"Hey...are you saying I'm boring?"

......

"So there is such a relationship between the two of you... Excuse me..."

During the chat, Maglock learned that Melissa and Nagash were engaged.

"So, why did you two go to Freedham?"

"There is no need to hide it from Lord Maglock. The purpose of this trip should be the same for you and me, both for the benefit of the country..."

"Does the Kingdom of Norton also intend to make friends with the dwarves?"

"We are all businessmen, so we will naturally move in the direction of maximizing profits. The resurgence of the dwarves is unstoppable. Instead of viewing them as heresy like the church does, it is better to seek common ground while reserving differences. Everyone can make money..."

"Let's get back to Kageji. I was interrupted earlier, but it seems that Lord Maglock doesn't know much about him?"

"Excuse my limited knowledge, I have never heard of it."

"...Lord Maglock...Have you ever heard of 'The Chosen One'?"

"The Chosen One?"

"That is...people blessed by God..."

"Does this really exist in the world?"

"The world is so vast that there are all kinds of strange things. Let me give you an example that you are more familiar with... the Northern Duke of the Kingdom of Dorok..."

"Are you talking about the one from the Campbell family? I had the honor of meeting him..."

"As the 'Guardian of the North'... this title was not bestowed by the king... but by the will of the ice and snow goddess Dian Yi... This duke is a 'chosen one'. The reason why he is so powerful is because of the gift of the goddess... He can be said to be the agent of the gods in the world..."

"I see......"

"The same is true for Shadow Heir... According to rumors, he is the chosen one blessed by the Night Mother. It is said that all the shadows in the world are at his disposal."

"Is that why he is called 'Shadow Heir'? Child of Shadow?"

"Then I have a question..." Melissa spoke up.

“Is Saleh considered God’s chosen one?”

"Saleh Yale...why would you think that?"

"Because... he also has a unique ability, it's like... a blessing from God..."

"Ms. Melissa is right. Saleh's ability is indeed strange. It is impossible for an ordinary slave contract to be like his. Even if it is signed verbally, it will have such a strong effect..."

"Maybe, maybe this dead man was really the 'Chosen One', but that doesn't matter..."

In Nagash's eyes, Saleh was worthless.

"So...what exactly does the church mean by this action?"

Maglock still didn't quite understand why the church wanted to put all the blame on Yingsi.

"The value of Yingshi is probably higher than that of Lord Maglock... The church has been coveting him for a long time..."

Maglock didn't care about this kind of comparison. After all, he knew that there was no comparison between him and the "Chosen One".

"Let me put it this way, Shadow Heir's shadow body is more than just 'shadow'..."

"Just as Holy Light is to the Light Element, don't you think that the Shadow Element, as the other extreme, is superior?"

"You mean, the power of shadow used by Shadow Heir is actually a higher level of shadow magic?"

"I don't have any substantial evidence. I have to ask the leaders of various countries who have had many contacts with the Shadow Cult, as well as the organizer behind it - the church..."

"Since it is confirmed that the church will not do anything without a purpose... then it can only mean one thing... the 'Shadow Heir' that Freedm is looking for... is very likely me... Even if he is not, he has a great relationship with this legendary assassin... In short, what the church wants is the secrets about the Shadow Heir. After mastering the secrets of the Holy Light, the church will naturally reach out to the other extreme..."

"After all, light and darkness complement each other..."

After listening to Nagash's insights, Maglock couldn't help but think of the desert woman he saw when he woke up.

It was she who killed all the Templar Assassins of the Church...

This means that the person wanted in the city is her...

Could she be the Shadow Heir? Or as Nagash said, the one who has a close relationship with the Shadow Heir?

......

"From the sound, it seems to be much quieter outside..."

Melissa said as she stood up and wanted to go out of the tent to see what was going on.

Leowen, however, rushed in and said:

"Hey! The sandstorm is about to stop, let's get going."

"Scare me..."

"Okay, it's about time to go into the city..."

Nagash missed the two girls, walked out of the tent, and waved to Dos in the distance.

"The leader said we can set off now. Go gather the adventurers and merchants. You have to gather them within a moment. No one will be waiting after you've reached that time."

"Yes!"

......

Death Canyon Pass, Dorok Kingdom.

Ever since the crimes of the previous pass guard, General Ryan, were exposed, this most difficult pass to manage in the entire Dorok Kingdom has undergone an entire year of unimaginable renovations.

First of all, this pass is temporarily taken over by the East Border Legion, which is responsible for stabilizing the people's hearts and repairing a series of facilities destroyed by the earth dragon.

Then, the remnants of General Ryan and General Turhe's remnants must be captured and sent to the city of Mel for trial and conviction.

Due to the Death Canyon in the middle, the above series of measures are quite difficult to implement.

Fortunately, the biggest threat to the canyon has been killed under the command of the foreign officer named Maglock... At most, the road will be more difficult to travel... and there will be more monsters...

Well...it's always still hard to go.

So it took a whole year...the pass was barely back to normal operation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a routine inspection. Please take off your face coverings and show your IDs and customs clearance certificates. If you have goods, show them as well."

The six people were stopped by the guards and checked.

"Finally... it's finally over..."

Lisda lifted her hood, revealing her dirty face and messy hair, and sighed.

"I almost forgot how many days I've been in this damn place... Hmm~ I can already smell the aroma of food... There must be something delicious ahead after I pass the checkpoint~"

Six C-rank adventurers... with several commissions... all of them were from Death Canyon...

This was the guards’ first impression when they saw these people’s information.

What normal adventurer would accept a large number of commissions from Death Canyon for no reason?

These young people are sick...

No matter what he thought, the guard just followed the regulations and conducted a thorough inspection before letting the person go.

"Wu~"

After walking out of the pass and seeing the bustling border market, they all felt hungry.

What are the foods in Death Canyon?

Various insects, reptiles, wild vegetables, and even monster meat...
