Humming a unique country tune.

After the 'Knight' wiped off the armor he had not worn for a long time, he lit the fireplace.

He put the bacon and cheese on the table and cut them with his pocket knife.

Then, he broke off pieces of bread and stuffed them into his mouth along with the bacon and cheese.

Soup?

There is none.

What you have is water with honey added.

It was not a rich dinner, but the 'Knight' was extremely satisfied.

This is the retirement life he has longed for for who knows how many years.

It's finally over now.

Naturally, it is extremely satisfying.

Even though it has been more than three hundred years, he still enjoys it.

After dinner, the 'Knight' moved the deck chair to the yard.

The night sky is dotted with stars.

The bright moon shines on people.

The breeze blows.

call!

The 'Knight' sighed contentedly.

He was going to take a short break.

As for work?

His two assistants did a great job and he wasn't worried at all.

But just when the 'knight' narrowed his eyes, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded.

A war horse galloped from a distance. There was no one on the saddle, except for a letter.

The 'Knight' did not hesitate and stood up.

This was his assistant's means of informing him.

And once there is such a notice, something big has happened.

He quickly opened the envelope, and when he saw the letter, the 'Knight' was stunned.

"'Gravekeeper' is seriously injured?!"

"The newcomer, injured the opponent?"

The 'Knight' murmured to himself, his tone full of surprise.

The 'Knight' knows about the 'Gravekeeper' and is quite familiar with it.

The two can be regarded as figures from the same period.

It can even be said to be an opponent or an enemy.

At that time, he was still a country knight with a farm in his fiefdom. There were six cows, two horses and twenty-two sheep on the farm, as well as a large mill. This was what he inherited from his father when he was nineteen years old.

's legacy.

The 'gravekeeper' dug his father's grave the day after he inherited the inheritance and his father was buried.

Starting from this incident, the two began a battle that lasted for nearly a hundred years.

From being unknown, to becoming famous all over the world, and then becoming the ‘source point’ almost in no particular order.

then?

The 'gravekeeper' disappeared.

He couldn't find the other party.

He spent nearly a hundred years looking for the other party, but couldn't find him.

As a last resort, he chose to retire.

And now?

The 'knight' turned around and entered the house. A moment later, he appeared again, fully clothed. He turned over and mounted his horse.

"drive!"

After a shout, the war horses rushed out.

…

Inside the rainy old castle.

As night approaches, the castle becomes increasingly gloomy.

There aren't any lights on.

All there is is a middle-aged man reading under a candle.

Wearing black linen clothes, her long white hands gently flipped through the thick books in her hands.

This is one of the 200,000 books in the castle.

It is also the last book read by 'Assassin'.

At this moment, there is about a third of the book left.

“Is it time to go book shopping again?”

"I wonder if there are any interesting books."

"Preferably a biography."

Knowing that when reading, thinking of other things in the mind will make the pleasure of reading plummet, but as the pages of the book become less and less, the 'assassin' can't help but think.

And time passes by minute by minute.

Soon, he finished reading the book.

However, this 'assassin' was not happy at all.

Because the author of this book used his most annoying technique.

"Damn it!"

"It's obviously the end, but it's still ambiguous?!"

"What kind of closure is this?"

"Let me guess the ending?"

"Just wait, I will go find you in a moment. If you don't give me a satisfactory ending, I will hang you in the study!"

The 'Assassin' was in a terrible mood.

He sat in his chair and cursed.

Then, he looked out the window.

In the drizzle, a crow came through the rain curtain.

Threads of shadow are wrapped around the crow's body. It is obvious that this is not a normal flying bird, but a creature made of shadow.

The 'Assassin' and the Shadow Crow looked at each other.

Soon, he knew what happened.

"The 'Gravekeeper' guy showed up?"

"Still seriously injured?"

"That's great!"

"Your life is mine!"

The 'Assassin' sneered in a low voice.

He has a grudge against the 'gravekeeper'.

His mother's tomb was stolen by the other party, not only taking away his mother's burial objects, but also damaging his mother's body.

Even after two hundred years, the 'assassin' still gritted his teeth when he thought about it.

That's excruciating pain!

In fact, if it weren't for being able to kill the other party, he wouldn't keep getting stronger!

It won’t become the ‘origin point’ at all!

But after he became the 'source point', the other party disappeared.

No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find it.

Now, since the other party has appeared, it is natural...

Fight until death!

Thinking of this, the 'assassin' grabbed the hooded cloak that was hanging on the chair, put it on his body, lowered his head and blew out the candle.

Suddenly, the entire castle was shrouded in darkness.
