The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All Chapter 268

Episode 268 Clown (1)

* * *

Ganghu and Ayane arrive in Germany.

Perhaps because they were able to rest comfortably inside, both of them looked good.

As promised, Lars Abel, an official of the Stark Guild and a person of interest to Ganghu, was there.

“It is an honor to serve mercenaries with high reputations in Korea and Japan. “My name is Lars Abel, Deputy Guild Master of the Stark Guild.”

“This is Shin Kang-hoo.”

“It’s Ayane.”

Greetings were exchanged in English and light hugs were exchanged. After all, the universal language is English.

As depicted in the original work, Lars was wearing a custom-made suit.

Her all-white hair, slicked back with pomade, was impressive from head to toe, as she was dressed in nothing other than luxury goods.

He fits the image that comes to mind when you think of a Westerner with short blonde hair.

Looking at the scanned constellation information, it is confirmed that it is specialized for the Berserker series. It is also consistent with the content of the original work.

“Would you like to go straight to the dungeon? Let’s have a conversation in the car. “Time is precious for these people.”

“thank you.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

Ganghu and Ayane followed Lars’ guidance and moved.

A safety limousine was already set up in front of the airport to take the two people.

At first glance, it looked 10 times better than the safety limousine that Kanghu used to ride in Korea.

In addition to being simply bulletproof, the safety limousine also had the means to counterattack in response to external threats.

A structure was seen that uses the mana of the magic stone to condense and fire mana like an air gun.

At this point, it’s safe to say it’s a moving fortress.

It probably had the craftsmanship and touch of a skilled craftsman, but it didn’t look like Kim Shin-ryeong’s work.

Besides her, there are about ten other skilled craftsmen and remodelers around the world. Probably one of them.

The limousine soon departed.

I don’t know if it’s Lady First or if they intentionally left the main topic behind, but…

Lars talked a lot with Ayane first.

Does it feel like you are carrying on the conversation out of obligation rather than being interested in her?

There were a lot of questions to ask, but the way Lars looked at Ayane wasn’t very interested.

That’s how the conversation ended.

From the moment Lars asked Kanghu a question, there was a warmth in the car that had never been seen before.

“What is the situation in Korea? As you know, we in Germany are in an environment where power is clearly divided and it is difficult to touch each other.”

As Lars said, there were fewer conflicts in Germany because each region had a firmly established force.

Since the balance of power is maintained, one cannot dare to break it. Of course, it was a peace like thin ice.

“As you know, the allied forces led by the Purification Guild are engaged in a defensive battle against the warlord Abyss.”

“Recently, Abyss carried out a bomb attack on the Jeonghwa Guild’s armory and training facility in Seoul, right?”

“It looks like your security was breached.”

I saw a person around Lars’ level refer to the Abyss’ attack as ‘terrorism’.

I felt bitter because it seemed like the propaganda that the Purification Guild had worked so hard to build was deeply rooted.

Most people in Korea think of the abyss as evil. We believe in the Purification Guild as the guardians of justice.

If the domestic situation is like this, there would be no need to say anything in foreign countries where information is heard one step at a time.

This should be seen as a victory of the Jeonghwa Guild and Jang Si-hwan’s foreign strategy, not Lars’ fault or misjudgment.

“Personally, I was very disappointed with the Purification Guild. From anyone’s perspective, doesn’t this appear to be the work of an insider? “A guild that neglects internal control can never win a war with the outside world.”

“I think I saw the true face of Korea’s No. 1 guild.”

Kanghu answered simply, but at the same time he was interested in Lars’ reaction.

In the original work, Lars was a character who always had favorable thoughts about the Purification Guild.

That’s why, after receiving Jang Si-hwan’s offer to join him, he decided to become his teammate without hesitation.

It was an important choice to leave his fate to Jang Si-hwan, even risking the criticism of the Stark Guild.

However, Lars was now expressing feelings of disappointment and disappointment in the Purification Guild.

It’s a different flow from the original.

I wondered if it was a butterfly effect because I prevented Lee Hyun-seok’s death and also prevented the collapse of the abyss.

The more negative Lars has of the Purification Guild, the more likely it is that his future picture will change.

It doesn’t satisfy his ambition.

This is because an object that causes worry and anxiety can never be attractive to him. It looks like that right now.

Kanghu decided to add some seasoning to this in a timely manner. It’s a good idea to reinforce his negative judgments.

“It is true that internal control was not done well. “The citizens of Seoul must be very anxious.”

“That’s right.”

“Furthermore, to the extent of exposing such loopholes even with the Public Security Agency on its back… it exposes the limitations of management.”

“I think Master Jang Si-hwan’s reputation is also in bubbles. Shin Kang-hoo, didn’t you have an offer to join the Jeonghwa Guild? “Of course you were there.”

“There was, but I declined.”

“also. “I think I would have chosen that way too.”

It continues to be confirmed that Lars’ overall tone is not favorable to the Purification Guild.

Kang-hu was confident that things would work out better than expected.

If only I could stimulate Lars a little more here.

It seemed that in the future, he would be able to block the picture of thirteen stars joining together early.

Of course, the brilliant Jang Si-hwan may find a way to appeal to Lars in other ways.

That’s why I thought it would be good for Kang-hoo to secure the seat next to him before he did anything.

In any case, it seemed unlikely that Lars would feel favorably towards Jang Si-hwan and the Jeonghwa guild right away. This is a good sign.

While moving to the dungeon, the conversation about the situation progressed further.

I was also able to hear about the situation in Japan through Ayane. There was a lot of meaningful information for Kang-hoo as well.

And as a final briefing, guidance on the dungeon was given once more.

You have already become familiar with all the details by checking and studying the materials provided in advance.

However, as Lars pointed out the key points one more time, I felt like the picture I had drawn became clearer.

In front of the dungeon we soon arrived.

Lars asked Kanghu and Ayane, who were about to enter, a request in a polite voice.

“Please be sure to complete the strategy safely. Also, please be sure to collect sharp heaters.”

“of course. “I came with the intention of completing the request, not with the intention of making a poor compromise.”

“Do not worry. “If you don’t do the best, the only thing you can do is die.”

“Wow, Ayane-sama! “Your comment is great.”

Kanghu, who heard Ayane’s words from the side, nodded.

When I thought about it, it made sense. It’s either the best or death.

It is also the most important content for hunters who must live fiercely in the present moment.

If you don’t do your best at every moment, there are too many damn environments in this world where it’s perfect to die.

If this is true even in ordinary time and space, it goes without saying that it is in a dungeon where danger lurks.

“If you can solve this problem well, there are many requests I would like to ask you at the guild level.”

It looks like there are a lot of tasks that are difficult to deal with.

From a mercenary perspective, the more work you do, the better, as long as you are paid.

‘Like a partnership agreement with the Guru Guild. There is no harm in having a guild become more dependent on me. There are more things to use.’

The more the other person feels disappointed when you are gone, the greater your value in the world of hunters.

Everything is relative.

A strong appeal is essential in order to build connections and renew relationships with Lars in the future.

Kang Hu planned to proceed with this request more vigorously and actively than he had done so far.

The more you differentiate yourself from others, the more rewards and attention you will receive from Lars.

* * *

5 minutes later.

After completing the final preparations and entering the dungeon, Ganghu immediately summoned a corrupted demon and sent it to the front.

Thanks to having told Ayane in advance on the charter flight.

She wasn’t surprised when something like a black ghost(?) suddenly flew out from behind Kang-hu’s back.

If I hadn’t told him in advance, I might have pulled the trigger as soon as I saw the corrupted demon.

【Third Eye】

Ganghu, who had sent forward scouting as a Corruption Demon, installed the Third Eye right at the entrance.

I thought it was right to be more vigilant the more it seemed like nothing would happen.

I don’t think Lars will do anything stupid, but that’s why I’m making sure to knock on the stone bridge.

Since installing a third eye did not increase the burden, there was no reason to reject fixed CCTV.

“wait for a sec?”

“huh.”

Meanwhile, Ayane put on her goggles as soon as she entered the dungeon. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a ‘glasses item’.

‘You’re holding something precious.’

Kanghu immediately recognized the value of the goggles.

Since not all the precious items in the world were hers, it was not strange for her to have rare items.

However, since it was a type of item that was very difficult to obtain, I kept looking at it.

The areas where hunters usually wear items are as follows.

Weapon necklace, breastplate, 2 types of one-handed gloves or 1 type of two-handed gloves, 10 types of bracelets, rings, anklets, shoes, amulets.

This is the official item section.

The total quantity itself was large and easy to obtain, so although there may be differences in grade, most of these parts were filled.

But there is an exception, like glasses.

It is quite difficult to obtain from dungeons and the total amount is very small, so it is difficult to see hunters wearing glasses.

Even in the original work, Jang Si-hwan never got glasses and never used them.

‘There’s also a headband. There were nose rings, earrings, and even underwear… Should I seriously think about getting one?’

The composition and origins of the numerous rare items that appeared in the original work begin to emerge.

There are some places where it is difficult to get one.

Even if you go, you cannot guarantee that you will get it.

Since it was almost the only deficiency created for Jang Si-hwan in the original work, it was made really difficult to obtain.

For example, obtaining an item from a mountaineer who lost his life near the summit of Mt. Everest… The level

of difficulty was made blatantly extreme. It was like that. It was an ordeal that twisted my whole body because I didn’t want to give it to myself.

at that time.

Ayane, who had finished condensing and loading mana, tapped Ganghu on the shoulder and announced that the final setting was over.

“Ganghu. “I’m ready.”

“huh. Me too for a moment.”

Kanghu immediately drew a dagger on his little finger, ready to use the skill he had acquired not long ago.

【Poisonous Blood】

A skill that has an absolute probability of 22.2% to cause paralysis or sleep poisoning in the target.

Aside from conquering the dungeon, there was another reason why Ganghu decided to use the Poisonous Blood skill diligently.

【Dream Demon】

【If you directly kill a target that has been put to sleep by a skill, you will permanently gain 10 magic power.

It can be used up to 100 times, and after that, you will be given the privilege of having the Dream Demon go one step further.】

It was because of the constellation ‘Dream Demon’.

Of course, if you exceed 50 mana, you will lose the effect of the Age of Savagery, so according to the basic tooltip, the synergy with Ganghu was very poor.

However, there were additional details in the detailed tooltip that Kanghu did not look at.

It was connected to special conditions that could provide a lot of motivation to Ganghu.
