Chapter 63
Assassins’ Guild Strategy (2)
All the preparations were done.
A week after my infiltration of Count Hadel’s territory, the stronghold of the Assassins’ Guild Northern Frontier District… I left the city for a while, then re-entered the city through the front door, and headed for the chapel where the guild was located.
On the way there, I ordered a corn flour dough sandwich with vegetables and ate my first decent meal in a long time.
The city looked the same as when I first saw it.
Large numbers of people flowed from the residential area to the artisan district in the early morning and returned in the evening. From far away in the residential district, I could hear the voices of children and what sounded like mothers scolding them, and from the artisan district, the sound of hammering metal echoed incessantly.
A peaceful city…but none of the laughing commoners in this city knew that underground, one of the country’s underworlds, the Assassin’s Guild, existed, and that thanks to its existence, it was feared by those who knew about it and kept that peace.
“”…””
My eyes met those of the Monitoring Beggar sitting near the chapel, and I flipped a silver coin with my fingertip and released it, and the beggar grinned at the feel of the silver coin as he grabbed it in midair.
“Ash-haired, is it?”
“Here, a little something to cheer you up.”
The beggar looked a little surprised at my lighthearted remark, as I rarely spoke.
