And with this sentence, Raine imdiately understood.
An abandoned mine!
It must be related to that mission!
Looking at it this way, it seems that there is a power scheming sothing in that abandoned mine, and he or perhaps their team has disrupted so arrangent of the other party.
"Are you commissioned by the organization you’re part of?" Raine asked solemnly.
"Yes, my organization is called Farad Manor. You can simply understand it as an assassination organization. Internally, most are assassins like , and additionally, there are a small number of mages and warriors."
"This ti, my mission is to assassinate you and that female archer. Of course, if convenient, they also want to take care of the other mbers of your team..."
Raine nodded.
Indeed, it’s similar to what he suspected.
Facing Elise’s probing gaze, Raine thought for a mont and said, "It should be due to our team’s last mission."
"While clearing kobolds in an abandoned mine in Azure Mine, we accidentally discovered Gray Dwarves below... We killed two Gray Dwarves and fortunately managed to escape... Later, when the association went to investigate, they found the depths of the mine had completely collapsed..."
"Gray Dwarves? You actually encountered Gray Dwarves from the Underdark? Reya didn’t even tell !" Elise’s eyes widened in astonishnt.
Laisa’s pretty face also flashed with surprise, looking at Raine quite amazed.
She didn’t expect that there were such causes and effects in the mission she executed.
"Yes, this Cold Steel Warhamr of mine is a trophy from one Gray Dwarf." Raine raised his Warhamr to indicate.
"At that ti, Reya and I each killed a Gray Dwarf, so I think it should be the power behind this Gray Dwarf that hired you to assassinate and Reya."
"It’s even possible that the power behind it is your organization. It’s called Farad Manor, isn’t it?"
"Yes." Laisa nodded.
"Miss Assassin, with your understanding of your organization, even if you don’t carry out this mission, do you think your organization will continue to trouble us?"
"This... Actually, my understanding of Farad Manor is also extrely limited."
"At the ti, I joined Farad Manor to acquire Shadow Step, you know, that’s an advanced combat skill that only Wanderers or assassins of Level 6 Classes or above can have the chance to master. That’s why I joined Farad Manor."
Shadow Step?
Raine imdiately recalled the scene where Laisa suddenly disappeared and then instantly appeared behind the Death Wolf Spider during the previous battle.
"But I didn’t expect that besides enabling to perform Shadow Step, this mark also has the effect of controlling my body, damn it!" Laisa said resentfully.
"Miss Laisa, the mark you’ve got is called Evil Blood Mark, which from a certain angle is considered a curse. It requires Demon’s Blood and complex rituals to cast. Oh, the one who cast this mark should be a Demon Mage."
Elise suddenly interjected.
"Demon Mage?" Raine asked curiously.
"Yes, similar to a Dragon Vein Mage, the other party has a little or a part of Demon’s Blood in their body; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to cast this mark."
"Moreover, judging by the effect of the Evil Blood Mark on Miss Laisa, it’s not true Demon’s Blood; otherwise, even with the aid of the mark, I wouldn’t be able to remove it."
Elise added another sentence.
"I think I know who it is. It’s that woman." Laisa showed a look of recollection.
Hmm?
Woman?
Raine and Elise exchanged glances.
"I’ve only t her once, during the ti she branded . She’s pretty, with an indescribable feeling, accompanied by Zoel." Laisa affird, nodding.
"Who is Zoel?"
"An assassin of at least Level 5 Classes." Laisa replied.
Level 5 Classes?
Raine’s eyes narrowed slightly.
’If the other party makes a move, I fear I can hardly resist.’
’However, luckily, I already have two combat skills that have reached the guidance stage; I just need one more magic...’
’I must complete the class transition quickly!’
’Then, hunt stronger monsters to acquire their Bloodline Talent and Spell-like Abilities.’
’Wait... If the enemy is an assassin, what monster talent is the most suitable?’
’To counter high-speed movent, Spider Web Spell could work, Frost Series magic should work too...’
’Besides, there’s that female Demon Mage...’
Hearing Laisa’s words, a sense of urgency rose in Raine’s heart, and he thought swiftly.
Originally, he was quite delighted to have increased the completion of the Shield Bash combat skill to over ninety-five percent and received guidance, thinking his progress was quite fast.
But now, it seems that the organization behind Miss Assassin is formidable and apparently collaborates with Gray Dwarves.
To have so counter force, he still needs to quickly step into the level of Classes.
After all, the Demon Mage, in remotely controlling Laisa, can match Raine’s current full firepower, which speaks to their real strength.
At this mont, seeing Raine’s solemn expression, Laisa chuckled softly, saying, "Don’t worry, you are safe for the ti being."
"Although Farad Manor won’t give up on this matter so easily." Laisa glanced at Raine again.
"But you needn’t worry; now that I’m free from the control of the Evil Blood Mark, the organization will surely choose to deal with first."
"Moreover, they are scheming sothing in Dorne City. Most of the powerful assassins have been dispatched, so there won’t be much force against you."
"Scheming?" Raine looked at Laisa and asked.
"Yes, I don’t know the specifics, but I heard it’s a big operation." Laisa shook her head and said.
"Wait, I think I’ve heard of this na before."
"What?"
"Farad Manor!" Elise confird, nodding.
"When I was at ho, I heard my father ntion it, saying recently, two guild presidents in Dorne City were assassinated by this mysterious organization called Farad Manor."
Hmm?
Raine looked toward Elise.
But then, thinking of Elise’s family background, he nodded slightly.
So, certain circles in Dorne City should be aware of this mysterious organization’s activities.
Nevertheless, regardless of whether higher-ups in Dorne City are concerned, the level of involvent isn’t sothing he can engage with for the mont.
What he needs to do is to complete the class transition as soon as possible, then hunt stronger monsters to obtain their abilities, thereby exponentially increasing his strength.
Just like now, even though he’s not yet a class mber, he can roughly match the strength of a Level 2 Warrior.
"Then let’s go." Having decided, Raine planned to return early.
He intends to rest in Mill Town for a day or two before quickly planning the details of hunting the Frost Blade Leopard.
"Yes!"
"You’re just leaving like that?" Laisa’s eyes slightly widened, pointing to the Deep Moss Spider’s corpse on the ground, rather surprised.
"Hmm? We’ve already taken the silk sacs and fangs." Elise and Raine exchanged a glance, feeling sowhat puzzled.
