Feigning strength, I pretended not to notice my trembling hand. Soon he said with a bloody smile:
“Now, I’m going to screw you.”
I stroked my neck with my hand.
“Follow me if you want to. I’ll take you somewhere special.”
I moved myself quickly.
“Where are you going?”
“District 2.”
It was a short walk from here.
If my place is where illegal small stores are gathered, I am currently going to the second district where a huge organization gathered, and among them, there are three men dressed in black, and I swallowed my breath.
‘Those clothes…’
The pattern at the end of the sleeves symbolize the “Blessing of the Shadow” that has now been smeared.
“Captain.”
“That’s right. Take care of it.”
Like an assassin, the men didn’t say anything unnecessary.
I bit my lips as I saw the glare of a blade in the moonlight.
Of course, it wasn’t hard to deal with them.
‘………I need to be as quiet as I can be.’
These Creixos back allies are intertwined like spider webs. However, the paths that can be traversed are limited.
I ran out of time. There was a high possibility that all the alleyway exits would be blocked.
“Huh…”
I opened my eyes and shook my hand.
“Can you fight?”
I felt the men’s nervousness when the jewels shone in my hands.
No answer came from Heimdahl. I didn’t ask any more and called out a little wind.
“Viento!”
One of the disadvantages of my spell was that it was difficult to handle it quietly.
In the moment the men, pushed by the wind, covered their faces:
“Miss, put your head down!”
“What? Wait, ugh!”
When I turned my head I noticed the shadow of a human, who was passing by roughly.
Whoo!
Heimdahl was already pulling a sword from one person. He swung his arms quickly and made a half turn.
Flap.
An assassin was seen running away from the side.
Puk.
However, the man collapsed because he couldn’t get far due to the dagger in his back.
Heimdahl stared at me, wiping off sweat drops with the back of his hand. He whispered, “Now, if you don’t take responsibility for me, I’ll be in trouble, miss.”
Tuk tuk. A red blood drop fell from the tip of the knife.
Heimdahl has a noticeable white complexion.
However, he turned his head and looked at the enemy chillingly. His gaze seemed to be calculating every movement.
“–You’re already doing that.”
This man is accompanying me only for survival and out of interest.
His scrutinizing, hawk-like eyes have been observing for a while. I wonder what he might be thinking with that extraordinary mind of his.
“If you know, I want you to show more sincerity.”
Heimdahl was a madman stained in madness, but he was a scary human being who was also rational and did not care about the means.
It’s not as if I was being treated with my arms tied.
“….Walk fast. We’re getting out of here.” (Syrinx)
As I walked past him, slow footsteps soon followed.
The jewel floating to the side proved to be on the guard for him without relaxing.
‘The number of jewels should be possible.’
The fatal disadvantage of my spell was that it was limited to the amount of jewelry I carried.
‘There’s no secret to casting spells.’
Fortunately, they didn’t meet any more assassins after the three.
“It’s this way. That’s District 2.” (Syrinx)
After a while, we arrived at the center of District 2. As long as I’m here, it was okay to be somewhat relaxed.
“It’s bright.”
It was the only street with street lights in Creixos Alley.
It is a place where people who obtain some money live in the back alley.
“Have we arrived?”
“A little further.”
Money meant power. Therefore, it was a place where those in power, who had the yolk in their hands, fiercely fought over the interests.
“You can relax a little from here. It’s relatively safe.”
“Criteria?”
“Of course compared to District 1 where we were.”
Of course, I shouldn’t let go of my tension completely, but there was a reason to believe.
I strutted away my cautious steps.
