The Cold-Blooded Sword Expert
Voldegod Residence

The sun seems to have risen to the height of an adult. Under the sun one of them was two young men and women who stood in front of a residence that looked so big. In front of the residence, two guards with each level of ‘3’ end middle standing by staring sinisterly at Melina and also Leo.

Come to think of it, they were actually walking towards the north from Ciradar village, Little Pear town. Although located in the north of Ciradar village, this place is actually not incorporated with other villages. Because how not? This residence seems to be on the edge of the forest where the surroundings are filled with lush trees.

“I took a prisoner, they killed my partner early this morning. So, I'll hand it over to Mr. Voldegod.” Melina said to the two guards with a cynical look.

The two guards did notice that Leo appeared to be tied to an arm. And a dagger was in Melina's hand in the condition of slitting Leo's neck. The point was really very precise with a prisoner about to be executed.

It was clear, that they both believed in Mateo's words just now. Because, Mateo was a person who was usually close to Voldegod. So they do not think strange if actually Melina brought an intruder who just looking for information.

So that the two of them were finally allowed to enter the residence.

“Melina, I want to say something.”

“What is it?” Melina asked curiously.

“Do you think I was stupid to ask someone for information carelessly? in fact, just information is not?” Reply Leo with a little bit of a wit. Because he really didn't want what he said to be heard by others.

Melina who heard that, she frowned suspiciously and asked again. “What do you mean?”

“I just want you to ask me what I want to ask. As for me, I will hide behind your shadow. So, when you're asking, in your shadow is me.” Leo said as he touched his chin.

He didn't know if this would work or not? The last time he used it, or in that condition last night, he was able to do it in five minutes. A maximum of five minutes or what happens will come out suddenly and make something undesirable.

Actually, this way is quite risky. But what Leo is filled with is just an ambition that makes him have to immediately ruin his curiosity. Even though it was a pretty sloppy thing, but want how else.

“Hidden behind my shadow? You've had that plan since?” Ask Melina.

“True, it's just that you have to do it in five minutes. And actually, it was just a plan that crossed my mind a few seconds ago.” Leo answered while scratching his non-itchy head.

Hearing that, Melina's lips could only twitch. He suddenly became not so sure that in fact this person was able to fulfill the promise that a few minutes ago he said.

Melina could only accept it even though there were some questions that seemed to refute Leo's plan. “Five minutes? There's no way I can report and ask for five minutes. You think I'll come back empty-handed to survive? Mr. Voldegod gave a target to low-class criminals to earn at least 2 silver coins. If not, will definitely get a.” penalty

Leo nodded and understood what Melina meant. Making a deposit to his master seems to have to meet the target because if it is not certain he will get a punishment that is so heavy. Even he was not sure if the slaves followed suit, they had decent lives such as food and shelter.

Let alone looking at Melina's physique like there were some skin diseases that Leo accidentally saw, he was sure that Melina's life was not so decent.

Without thinking for long, Leo reached into his coin bag, took out two pieces of silver and threw them towards Melina without hesitation in the condition of a tied hand. Two pieces of silver for him might still be very little, especially for the sake of obtaining an information.

“You ...” Melina who received that, she could only bite her lips and could not speak anymore. Whereas when he wanted to return, he was confused to give a reason what else.

Moreover, it was really very lucky when in front of Voldegod's room, there were no guards at all that made the two of them sigh so relievedly.

“Remember, you only have five minutes. You just need to ask about the group of assassins with the leaf insignia running to your master Voldegod. In addition, make sure that you stand near the lighting. You understand?” Leo reaffirmed.

“Ba-okay.”

“Shadow Sneak Ability!”

Instantly Leo's body turned into a shadow which then fused with Melina's shadow. So physically, Leo can not be seen in plain sight.

Melina who saw such a thing, she was actually quite surprised. Even he could not believe that this was an ability with someone who was at the level of ‘3’

Tok tok tok tok

Without a second thought, and filled with gripping fear, Melina knocked on the door of the booth in front of her before she pushed open the door and entered.

“Mr Voldegod, I'm in.”

The figure of a middle-aged man, with a gray mustache, as well as his thin beard that was similar. He was seen sitting on his bed with two women sitting on the man's thigh. Moreover, the two women were as if naked which made Leo himself who was in the shadows could only gulp roughly.

“Mateo, you're finally back. I hope you deposit your results and lie next to me.” Said the middle-aged man by raising both ends of his lips as if smiling lewdly.

Mateo opened his palm and placed two pieces of silver on the table. He even lowered his face as he was a little groggy because behind his shadow was an intruder.

Then, with some hesitation, he said, “Master Voldegod, there is something I want to ask.”

“What do you want to ask?”

“Do you understand about the organization with the symbol of the leaves of the scaffold?”

Hearing the question that had just been thrown, Voldegod frowned. Because Mateo or Melina never asked anything related to it. It's just that, Voldegod without a second thought, he immediately replied because he had to remain vigilant due to a news story.

“You mean Verva order organization? The group has not done their job for the past 11 years without a cause. And, why do you ask that?”

Leo from behind the shadow, he seemed to be frowning his forehead. In the end he was able to find out that the group was named Verva. But strangely enough, he was quite surprised when the group did not reappear for 11 years. And strangely again, the group killed the Leo family also coincided 11 years ago.

‘This is weird.’
