*** The next day. Clark suddenly asked all the party leaders of adventurers in Villatown to gather at the village hall. The announcement was made so suddenly using several village soldiers who delivered the message. One of the village soldiers knocked on the door of Arryn's room with a loud noise. The loud sound startled Arryn, who was resting in the room. Because the intensity of the knock on the door was loud and without a break, Arryn was forced to open his eyes. With an annoyed look, he tried to scold the ignorant person who had disturbed his sleep. The wooden door opened, and Arryn immediately yelled and scolded the man. The village soldier, who knew nothing, was forced to accept Arryn's anger. He also didn't forget to tell Arryn about the sudden event planned by Clark. The village soldier didn't come empty-handed. He brought with him a scroll of letters handwritten by Clark directly to make it seem official and respectful to each chief adventurer. "The meeting details are
Arryn and his group divided up the southern part of the village. Clark divided them quickly so that all the adventurers could stand guard inside the village by evening. Not only Arryn was on guard in the south, but many groups of adventurers were also on guard there. However, the Templar Regiment wasn't with Arryn. They had been assigned to the west of the village. "How are we going to know who the main suspect is?" asked Elvan. Arryn was silent as his back leaned against the chair he was sitting on. "I don't know, but it's unlikely he'll do much when he knows many adventurers will be on guard," Arryn explained, thinking so because he thought the assassin was clever. "Then, if he doesn't come out, how will we know?" asked Elvan. "What Clark is trying to do is not only catch the killer but also guard the villagers. It would be great if we could catch the killer," replied Arryn. "But I see that he's trying to use the adventurers' abilities to guard the villagers. It would be less l
Arryn stepped into the singular dimensional portal and saw a large white space like a different dimension. Not only Arryn but Vio and Ivy also stepped inside due to their curiosity. "Where are we?" asked Ivy, looking right and left at her current spot. "This is a temporary displacement point. You could say we're in the foggy area between the dimensions of reality and illusion," replied Arryn, trying to explain this all-white place as he thought. "Use easy language," Vio pleaded. "We're in a transit point before moving on to our destination," Arryn said, Vio and Ivy nodding their heads. "But why should there be a transit point if a portal connects the two places?" Ivy asked. The young man shook his head. He didn't know the reason at all. For him, Erina was the one who knew everything about Arryn's true power. It was difficult for Arryn to talk to that woman because he didn't know how to meet Erina alone. During these few months, Arryn could only meet Erina when she visited him.
"What do you need from me?" asked Alicia. The woman tried to calm down after seeing Arryn's sudden presence in front of her face. She learned about the location of Arryn's rank-A mission from a guild employee. In her opinion, the location of Villatown was quite far from Ravengarden, and it was impossible for Arryn to travel quickly from the village to this town. Unless Arryn had the ability to move through space and place without disrupting the flow of time. But that's impossible if you think about it logically because every trip takes time. Alicia's curiosity rose, and she wanted to ask about Arryn's way back here. "At my mission location, there was a murder tragedy that was difficult to track down. There isn't a single person there who has the ability to see magic traces," Arryn replied. Alicia cleared her throat as she understood the meaning of Arryn's request for help. "So, you came here to ask me to investigate the murder?" Alicia asked. Arryn nodded slowly with a serious lo
Arryn fell silent right when Clark said so, especially calling Arryn's real name. He immediately turned his attention to the village guards behind Clark's back; they looked serious with a different look in their eyes. "What are you talking about, Clark?" asked Arryn, trying to confirm Clark's statement while clenching his right hand tightly. "We know who actually killed the villagers," Clark explained. He tried to walk towards Arryn, but Arryn reflexively reached his left hand forward. He did so for no reason; Arryn wanted to protect the people behind him. "Who is it?" asked Arryn. "You, Arryn. You're the killer of them!" said Clark, pointing harshly at the man in front of him. Arryn's eyes widened. He didn't understand why Clark would say such a thing. Not only Arryn but Vio and the others near the young man were as surprised as he was. "All the evidence found leads to you. Some say you're a high-level fugitive from the Athanor Kingdom," Clark explained. Arryn looked at each o
Not just one body, but two other bodies were opened by Arryn to ensure which traces were found to be the same. Arryn opened the second body and let Alicia look at it with her abilities. "It's the same color as the first body," Alicia explained. And finally, Arryn opened the third body bag in this place. Alicia also found the same traces of magic. However, the apparent difference was the quality of the magic traces left behind. "They seem to have been killed by a single perpetrator, not a group of assassins. However, these two bodies have faint traces of magic. It seems like they were killed much earlier than the first body," Alicia replied. The woman began to deactivate her magic while helping Arryn re-close the body bag with a piece of rope. They had finally found the magic trail in question, and Alicia could confirm that theirs wasn't the same as Arryn's. "What is certain is that their color is not the same as your mana color. The mana traces are yellow, while yours are more of
Arryn was annoyed with Joe's attitude. He reached his right hand forward and pulled the clothes collar that Joe was wearing; suddenly, what Arryn did surprise Joe. "Are you starting to dare me, Arryn?" asked Joe, smirking. "I'm not afraid of you at all, even if you are a member of the Emissaries," replied Arryn, firmly with an intense look in his eyes. Joe laughed again; Arryn had come to know Joe by his characteristic laugh. However, the laughter he heard this time differed significantly from his earlier laughter, more like insulting Arryn. Arryn released his grip from Joe's collar as he pushed the man's body to the ground. When Arryn was about to walk away from Joe, he realised that time was stopped. "Bring back time in this place,'" Arryn pleaded. "I'm not finished talking to you, Arryn," Joe replied. He rose to his feet using both legs. Both hands went to his backside to shake off the dust. Arryn had no intention of helping him up. "What did you want to discuss with me?" as
"That... It's not mine at all. I must be being framed," Clark said, trying to argue even though Arryn clearly saw the look of fear on Clark's face.Mirelia turned her head, looking at Arryn standing behind her. It was actually quite unfortunate that Arryn had to destroy the mission board. Mirelia and the others had no idea how the perpetrator inserted the knife into the board."What's wrong?" asked Arryn flatly."You said your friend could detect magic, right?" asked Mirelia.Arryn nodded his head. Suddenly, hearing Mirelia's words made Alicia surprised. She immediately walked over to Arryn while showing herself to Mirelia."Are you the person?" asked Mirelia. Alicia nodded slowly.Mirelia showed the blood-stained knife to Alicia, of course, with the intention that she could detect the mana that was left on the knife.Without hesitation, the woman immediately focused her eyes on the knife. She saw traces of magic left on the knife's handle. There were clearly two types of mana left be
