Sewock VII is dead.
Died in a sudden assassination.
And the assassin is…
Jason.
That’s right, Jason!
Morton was the first to receive this news through secret channels.
The old bartender frowned.
Imminently explosive!
The first thing the old bartender thought of was the evaluation of Tert that his old friend had just ntioned.
"Faster than expected!”
Morton took a deep breath and sounded the alarm of the ‘Night Watcher’s Ho’.
Clang, clang, clang!
The alarm bell rang three tis.
The Ailin sisters, who had just been resting, appeared imdiately.
Sid, Elpa, and others ca out, struggling with hangovers.
"Morton, what’s happening?”
"It’s just dawn!”
Sid and Elpa muttered.
Morton looked serious.
The Ailin sisters were the sa.
Unlike Sid, Elpa, and other ‘apprentices’ who worked, as current employees of the ‘Night Watcher’s Ho’, the Ailin sisters knew very well what the ‘alarm’ ant when it rang.
It’s a matter of life and death crisis for the ‘Night Watcher’s Ho’.
Seeing the serious Morton and the Ailin sisters, Sid, Elpa, and others quickly beca serious from their originally relaxed state.
To wake up faster, so even rushed directly into the washroom to induce vomiting and wash their faces with cold water.
"What’s going on, Morton?”
Sid and Elpa asked solemnly, their faces still wet.
"Sewock VII was assassinated.”
Morton said.
"And then?”
Sid, Elpa, and other ‘apprentices’ were unconcerned about Sewock VII. Although they occasionally cooperated with the governnt, it was just that, cooperation.
Deeper contact?
There wasn’t any.
As for the Sewock royal family, the governnt.
Neither Sewock VII nor Prince Ruitai can be considered a friend to the ‘Night Watchers’.
Especially so practices have further failed to gain the ‘Night Watchers” approval.
Therefore, the ‘Night Watchers’ were indifferent to the life and death of Sewock VII.
However, since Morton took it so seriously, there must be more.
"The assassin is Jason!”
The old bartender responded.
"What?!”
Even with ntal preparation, Sid, Elpa were taken aback, and the ‘apprentices’ around them looked at Morton in disbelief.
"Could there be a mistake?”
"Jason has always been at the ‘Night Watcher’s Ho’!”
"Even if it’s a fra-up, it should at least be credible, right?”
Sid highlighted.
"Credible?”
"You’ve seen their shalessness, yet you’re still so naive!”
Elpa sneered. .
Then, this apprentice turned to look at Morton.
"Is the information accurate?”
"Accurate!”
"The information from this secret channel is more reliable and accurate than you think.”
The old bartender shook his head.
"That ans there’s no turning back!”
Elpa tugged at his sleeve, instinctively starting to arrange his sword at his waist, the dagger in his boot, and the crossbow arrow hidden inside his cloak.
The ‘Night Watchers’ following Elpa almost imitated him.
"A battle is brewing.”
Sid ruffled his hair.
"Scared?”
Elpa raised an eyebrow.
"Hah.”
Sid chuckled coldly, giving a signal to a few companions behind him, who quickly ran back to their rooms. When they reappeared, each carrying two large boxes.
"Cavalry repeating rifles, capable of firing twelve rounds before needing to reload.”
"Bombs with added shot, effective kill radius of 10 ters. If exploded at the enemy’s center, can incapacitate 30 people.”
"This is a Blast Tube—I nad it. When faced with enemies hiding in fortified defenses, it can turn those defenses and enemies to ash.”
Sid opened more than ten boxes, explained to Elpa, and distributed the weapons to his companions.
Including… Elpa!
"The ‘Night Watchers’ never shy away from battle but must be prepared.”
"Swords and crossbows are our survival tools.”
"Gunpowder?”
"Also!”
Sid said with a smile, watching Elpa take the repeating rifle.
Elpa touched the weapon, which was clearly not commonly circulated, and without saying much, just gave Sid a thumbs-up.
"Ready?”
Sid, Elpa turned to their companions.
More than twenty ‘apprentices’ all nodded together, full of enthusiasm, and with high fighting spirit.
The ‘Night Watcher’ is a very traditional organization.
So traditional, each ‘Night Watcher’ takes only one student.
A complete lineage.
They have a different understanding of ‘family’.
Students, disciples, they’re one’s sons, daughters, or simply put, successors.
And other ‘professionals’ of the ‘Night Watchers’ are… brothers and sisters.
Worthy of being protected with one’s life.
It was like that before.
It is like that now.
The future?
It will not change either.
Because, while inheriting their teacher’s skills and abilities, they also inherit the ideas and lifestyle.
When soone fras or even takes the lives of their brothers and sisters, they have only one way to resolve it: smash those bastards!
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
‘Night Watchers’ never betray ‘family’.
Willing to fight for ‘family’!
Just like the initial vow—
"Stand guard at night, surrounded by darkness, heart full of light!”
Sid, Elpa, and more than twenty ‘apprentices’ all chanted softly.
Standing there, Morton covered his face.
