Sovereign of the Firmaments

....

In the assassin guild of the Silverstone town.

Even though killing is prohibited in the Silverstone town, the assassin guild still established their branch in the busiest town in the Barren firmament.

Because the assassin guild gets more assassination requests either when people are entering the 'Myriad primordial forest' or leaving the Silverstone town with valuable items they gained from the 'Myriad primordial forest'.

Since they were not assassinating anyone in the Silverstone town and at the same time paying some good percentage from their profits to the adventurer's guild naturally gave the permission for them to establish their guild in the Silver stone town.

"Guild master, we received a forwarded assassination request from the royal city's guild."

Two black-masked assassins rushed towards a thin middle-aged man who was lazily sitting on the guild master's chair.

One of them walked forward with a scroll and while giving it to the thin middle-aged man, he said the origins of the scroll.

The thin middle-aged man was none other than the guild master of the assassin guild in the Silverstone town and his name is Ghost snake.

"What?"

The moment he heard the words and Ghost snake hurriedly stood up from his chair and took the scroll.

"Killblade and Killflash, you two can leave now."

After taking the scroll, Ghost snake asked both the assassins to leave the room.

"Yes, Guild master."

With a deep bow, both of them left the room.

'Creak'

After his two loyal servants left the room, Ghost snake closed the doors and slowly opened the scroll in his hands with great excitement.

'Swoosh'

The moment he opened the scroll, a thin old man's projection appeared in front of Ghost snake that surprised him for a moment.

'You will see two images on the scroll after I finish my words. Kill them and you can pick any one item you want from my branch's inventory.'

Soon, the projection only said a few words before disappearing into thin air.

Ghost snake raised his brows as he hurriedly looked at the two targets with their complete information.

'What? To kill a lowly squire and a kid who didn't even start his cultivation, I can pick any one item from his inventory?'

Ghost snake was surprised for a moment before started laughing because it was the easiest task with such a high reward.

'Even though their tier 4 general knight might create a problem, it is stated that he is injured in the past. So, at most this is equivalent to tier 2 general knight.'

Ghost snake checked about the guardian of those two targets and revealed an eerie smile on his face.

'There is no hurry and I will ask someone to keep an eye on them.'

If it was any other town, Ghost snake would have personally paid a visit to the targets to finish such a high-reward mission.

However, it is Silverstone town and he needs to be very careful with his actions.

Moreover, he can't assassinate them in the town except for asking his two loyal servants to keep an eye on them.

"Stop leaning on the doors and just come in."

Suddenly, Ghost snake said those and just as he finished his words, the doors opened before the two figures from before entered the room.

"How many times should I tell you not to eavesdrop on me?"

"Master, we wanted to help you with the new mission. So..."

"Enough"

Before the two assassins could finish their words, Ghost snake stopped them before saying, "Go and keep an eye on these two targets 'Lucas Hellmore' and 'Evan Hellmore'. Also, there is an injured tier 4 general knight with them. Don't let him find you."

Ghost snake had already gotten used to the behaviour of his two loyal servants. So, he didn't waste his time repeating the same words he used to say to him; instead, he gave the task of keeping an eye on them.

"Hehe...master, you know about us. With our 'Stealth' skill, it is impossible for even a tier 5 general knight, not to mention an injured tier 4 general knight."

The active one among the two assassins replied Ghost snake with an eerie chuckle.

"Still, I want you to be careful."

Ghost snake knew about their capabilities but he rebuked them to be careful.

"Yes, master."

Once again, with a deep bow, both the assassins named 'Killblade and Killflash' left the room.

'These two….they will never change.'

Ghost snake shook his head when he thought about his two loyal servants with a smile on his face.

'I wonder who these two targets are? Why do they have such a high reward?'

Next, Ghost snake looked at the 'Anonymous' word on the Scroll, he wondered about the one who paid for this mission.

.....

In Lively inn,

Lucas didn't have the slightest clue that the Silverstone town had already received the task to assassinate him and his brother.

Right now, he was having a deep sleep.

Compared to his previous life where he barely slept, Lucas was able to sleep peacefully in this world for some unknown reason.

…..

The next day morning,

Lucas, Evan and the old man Bernard walked towards the adventurer's guild amidst the gazes of many adventurers and others.

'Grandpa Bernard, they were all looking at you.'

Evan whispered to the old man with a peal of small laughter.

'Yeah...yeah. Old man Bernard has good cultivation. So, everyone wants to invite him into their adventurer group.'

Before the old man Bernard could say anything, Lucas placed his hand on Evan's hand and said in a low voice as he continued, 'With him beside us, no one will bully us.'

Even though Lucas didn't like to say those words, he still said them because he didn't want his little brother to live in fear.

Moreover, what he said was true because with Bernard's cultivation, except for the three top families, no one would trouble them.

Even the top families would try their best to recruit him into their families.

Evan revealed a sweet smile on his face as he understood what his brother was trying to say.

'Big brother didn't have much talent in the 'Ways of knights' and no talent at all in the 'Ways of mages'. I have to try my best to become stronger and protect him.'

Deep inside his heart, Evan swore to himself.

Even though he had yet to check his talent in the 'Ways of knights' and 'Ways of mages', Evan swore to protect his big brother.

Lucas is oblivious that his little brother swore to protect him by becoming stronger in the future.

Soon, the three of them reached the adventurer's guild.
