The Assassin Guild was founded in prehistoric Warring States period, when warlords were fighting each other, and every family had children who could not survive the winter. In order to make ends meet, the civilians are all thrown into various places to serve as dead soldiers. Poisoning, assassination, kidnapping, as long as people can think of a way to do it, they will do it. There are even lords who train their own dead soldiers to assassinate other lords.

Until the last powerful empire unified the entire continent, the overlord of the continent was very disgusted with the profession of assassins and ordered the entire continent to slaughter assassins. However, the word Assassin would not have the word Assassin written on his face, so the king declared that anyone who reported an Assassin would receive a reward of 100 coins.

The newly unified continent immediately plunged into chaos again, some people in order to make money, some people in order to eliminate dissidents, a large number of innocent people were imprisoned. At the King's order, all Assassins, whether they were real or not, were put to death in prison.

The king's atrocities angered the people, and the newly unified empire was overthrown once again. It's just that there aren't many Assassins left.

Although the rulers had changed, the expulsion of the Assassins had not stopped. In order to survive, the Assassins came together to form the Assassin Guild. Of course, this shady group would not have a formal business license, but with a unified leader, the Assassins were able to gain a foothold in the troubled times.

The Guild of Assassins had five elders and a president, and the president had the power to revoke the elders' seats, and the elders had the right to vote for the removal of the president. The Assassins' Guild was in a state of disarray for a period of time before the previous president, Frank's father, became president, because the Osland Empire under the previous king, Frederick II, was so prosperous that few people were willing to live such a life of licking blood.

Then the war began, and many people who did not want to serve in the military secretly began to devote themselves to these shady professions. Frank's father also joined the Assassin Guild at that time. However, due to the lack of strength of the chairman himself at that time, and the mixed mix of new assassins, no one was willing to listen to him. Eventually, the newcomers, led by Frank's father, forced the president to step down, and Frank's father officially became the president of the Assassins' Guild.

Frank's father, who was very strong and powerful, moved the headquarters of the Assassin Guild to the Imperial capital of Lisbon, despite the opposition of everyone. As it turns out, the big hidden in the city. Since the Assassins' Guild moved to Lisbon, it has become much safer than the previous base, and the guild leader's ban on members taking personal work has greatly reduced the possibility of fighting with officers and soldiers.

Frank's father had five sworn brothers, who are now the Five Elders of the Assassin Guild. It stands to reason that the position of president of the Assassins' Guild was never inherited from the father, and after the death of the current president, the five elders voted to elect the next president. Generally, however, the president is chosen from among the five elders.

But the problem lies with the president, as the president has the right to abolish the elders, the elders named to be abolished do not have the right to vote, and the remaining four elders need two elders to vote for approval, plus the president's vote to pass the decision to abolish the elders. The revocation of the elder president requires the concurring votes of four elders.

Although we are all sworn brothers, there will be some contradictions. Frank's father had a good relationship with two of the elders, and rumors spread that the current president had hereditary plans. In addition, Frank has been likable since he was a child, and Elder Arni and Elder Ivan treat him better than their own sons. The remaining three elders began to panic, and the speaker had no intention of listening. Frank's father often criticized the three elders in public, and when one of the elders accidentally killed a civilian during a mission, the enraged president threatened to annul his martial arts and expel him from the Assassin Guild.

Frank's father spared him after the crowd pleaded with him, and ordered him to resign as an elder and be sent to serve as a helm in a remote place. That night, the three elders secretly got together to discuss the first strike, and attacked the president while the other two elders were out.

Although Frank's father was the most powerful assassin in the guild, he was no match for three of them, and died tragically in his room.

The two elders who rushed back after hearing the news struggled to save Frank's life, but fortunately, the elder had left a lot of connections for his son, and a considerable number of guild members were on Frank's side. The three elders did not pay attention to a single underage child, so they stopped killing him and left him in the Assassins' Guild.

But both the guild members and Frank understood who killed the elder. In recent years, Frank has been searching for evidence since he became an adult, and the three elders are finally ready to attack him. Taking advantage of Frank's absence, the three elders returned to the guild together and won the position of president by a margin of three to two, and the two elders who dared not speak out had to wait for Frank's return.

"Actually, I don't want to be the president. Frank looked at the sunset on the horizon and said, "But the revenge of killing my father is not the same as the heavens, and after I kill them with my own hands, I will go with you to wander the world, and never come back." ”

Bert looked at Frank's slightly childish face and didn't speak for a long time, the family had a scripture that was difficult to read, and the seemingly cheerful Frank endured the pain of his father being killed and calling them uncle every day.

"Although there is a saying in the Holy See that it is called putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot, there is also a saying that it is called sticking a knife in the ribs of a friend, I will not advise you to give up revenge, I only hope that we can return safely. Let's go, let's meet the legendary Assassin Elders. With that, Bert walked towards the door of the Assassins' Guild.

The one who opened the door has changed, and he is no longer the goblin he used to be, and it seems that the three elders have replaced the entire guild with their own henchmen.

After a few circles, everyone came to the previous hall again, and now there was less noise, and everyone sat there quietly. The hall was crowded with people, not as it had been before.

"They've gathered all the Assassins from the entire Imperial Capital here. Frank whispered to the three of them. At this time, a man on the stage was speaking, but it was too far away to be audible, and it seemed to be talking about the history of the Assassin Guild.

Suddenly, Frank tugged at Bert's hand, and it turned out that the goblin at the edge of the crowd was waving at him.
