The Deadly Assassin Robin

Chapter 1352 Hunderra

As soon as Robin posed the question, Corwin, the Chief Guardian of the Black Faith Order, fell completer

silent.

After a brief moment of panic, he bowed low once again. “Master, this… this would require the approval of Archbishop Ezekiel Fairfax before I can say anything.”

Robin let out a cold short. “And what if I insist on knowing?”

The atmosphere around them tensed immediately. Caius and the other officials and merchants of Cyro Castle instantly sensed the spark of danger in the air.

Everyone lowered their heads, lips tightly scaled, not daring to meet Robin’s gaze.

Corwin remained prostrate. “If you truly wish to know the identity of Archmage Varryn, then once we arrive at the Black Faith Order headquarters in Hunderra tomorrow, Archbishop Ezekiel will no doubt tell you everything.”

Robin could tell there was a deeper secret here. Pressing further now would be pointless.

There was no rush–he could wait a little longer to ask about the Soul Capturing Technique of the Netheris Domain.

“Very well. As agreed, I’ll arrive at the Black Faith Order headquarters in Hunderra tomorrow.”

Corwin let out a long breath of relief. “Thank you! I’ll return to the headquarters immediately to inform Archbishop Ezekiel of your arrival.

“Your presence at Hunderra headquarters would be the greatest honor our Order could receive.

“If it pleases you, we would also like to invite you to attend the coronation ceremony for Young Lord Fairfax, who is advancing to Peak Warrior. It would mean everything to us if you would bestow the Peak Warrior crown upon him yourself as our most honored guest.”

Everyone present understood the significance: for a Grandmaster from the Crownward Syndicate to personally crown the Black Faith Order’s Young Lord Fairfax would be a monumental honor.

If the Order’s leader, Archbishop Ezekiel, and the Young Lord Fairfax heard of this, Corwin would surely be handsomely rewarded.

Corwin looked up at Robin’s expressionless face, full of anticipation.

Robin nodded. “Alright. I’ll consider it when I arrive tomorrow.”

Corwin was overjoyed. That basically meant Robin had accepted.

If the Young Lord Fairfax used the opportunity to formally acknowledge Robin as his mastei open the path for him to serve in the Crownward Syndicate someday.

Such a connection would skyrocket the Black Faith Order’s status within the Netheris.

“Thank you, Master!” Corwin said gratefully. He reached into his robes and took out a deep emerald seal, lifting it above his head.

Chapter 1352 Hunderta

“This emerald seal is the highest symbol of authority in the Black Fall Order Only our Inst guests may possess one.

“There are only three seals in Rosha’s 18 cities. My lord, please accept this one.

Gasps spread across the square in front of Gyro Castle.

Everyone there understood just how precious this emerald seal was.

In all of Rosha, only the royal family and the duchy of Hunderra possessed one.

No one else had ever been qualified to receive such an honor.

Corwin was now presenting the third Blackfaith Seal to Robin, proving just how revered his presence was within the Black Faith Order.

“Very well. I’ll hold on to it for now.” Robin took the Blackfaith Seal and casually tossed it to Daphnie.

Corwin bowed again. “Thank you! The Black Faith Order awaits your arrival at the Hunderrat headquarters.”

After the three guardians and the rest of the Order’s members paid their respects and took their leave, Caius and his officials fell to their knees.

“Congratulations, my lord, on receiving the Blackfaith Seal!

“You’ve slain Evander and protected Gyro Castle. We owe you our deepest gratitude.

“To show our thanks for saving us, the major families of Gyro Castle have prepared this Black Gold Card from the Netheris Exchange. It holds 500 million–please accept it.”

Robin accepted the card and turned to leave for the inn.

Caius rose and leaned in to whisper, “Master, I know a little about Archmage Varryn’s background.”

Robin followed him back into Gyro Castle.

“Master, because of his unusual background, Archmage Varryn is under semi–captivity within the Black Faith Order.

“However, due to his unmatched magical skill, Archbishop Ezekiel still keeps him honored within the Order.”

Robin caught the flicker of fear in Caius’s eyes. “So he’s committed a serious crime, then?”

Caius lowered his voice. “Archmage Varryn’s father was once the Chief Archmage under the High Pontiff of the Light Syndicate.

“Sixty years ago, after a devastating battle between the Light and Dark Syndicates, the Light Syndicate was branded a heretical sect.

“Those who survived were either freakishly talented or incredibly powerful.

“Archmage Varryn and his father were among those survivors.”

Robin glanced at him. “In the Netheris Domain, there’s a technique called Soul Capturing Technique. Do you know anything about it?”

Caius froze. “That… F’m afraid I don’t

“Very well. I’ll ask Archmage Varryn myself once I arrive at the Hunderra headquarters. Robin stood to leave.

Caius bowed. “Allow me to accompany you, my lord.

“I’ve received orders from Lord Zennet Lovett. The lords of all 18 cities in Rosha must attend the coronation of the Young Lord Fairfax.

“Tomorrow, we’ll be reporting to the county seat. If it pleases you, perhaps we can visit the duchess together.”

Robin waved him off. “I’ve got other matters to attend to–and I don’t enjoy dealing with politicians. No need for us to travel together.”

Caius could only bow in acknowledgment.

Robin then asked him more about the Light Syndicate, but Caius refused to speak further.

It was one of the most forbidden topics in the entire Netheris.

At dawn, a brilliant red sun burst over the horizon.

Bathed in multicolored light, Robin and Daphne set off toward the Black Faith Order headquarters in Hunderra.

They rode on flying beasts gifted by Caius–creatures far faster than any aircraft from Earth.

Hunderra was nearly 600 miles from Gyro Castle.

It took the beasts only half an hour to cover the distance.

Compared to Gyro Castle, Hunderra was far more vibrant and bustling.

Its streets were packed with people, carts, and exotic goods of all kinds.

Shops lined the road, filled with food, drink, games, and entertainment–everything one could want.

The Black Faith Order’s headquarters was on the northern outskirts of the county, atop Mount Zhisall, more than 60 miles from the city.

Since it was still early, Robin and Daphne decided to explore the county’s central market for a while, curious about the local culture of the Netheris Domain.

Before long, they wandered into a street lined with weapon stalls.

Every kind of cold weapon imaginable was on display. noveldrama

“Greetings, Masters!” a young voice called out.

It was Caius’s son, Alaric, accompanied by a striking young woman of about 18 or 19.

Ryleigh had already heard about Robin and Daphne from her father and brother. She quickly stepped forward and gave a deep bow, “Greetings, Masters“.

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with admiration and wonder as she looked at Robin–along with a clear. burning excitement.

It was her first time seeing a man with such an overwhelming presence.
