Chapter 9 - Taking Down the Silencers

As i woke up today i could feel the very cold wind coming through the edges of the wooden window directly into my room.i think the winter season is coming; there is sadly not a single warming method in this room. i also noticed that inside buildings, houses, and shops it's really cold — completely different from back in my world.i should start sleeping with two blankets..

as planned, today i will be meeting Larkin in the guild. i suppose he wants to speak more about, as he called it, his Silencers group or family. Vino, Evin, and Van are also going to be there — i still don't really know much about those guys.

grgrg — my body shivered as another wave of air came through the window.i washed my face and hair with the cold water from the sink in my room and put on my clothes which i washed by hand yesterday. there isn't even a washing machine here; living without the modern tools that make our lives easier is really difficult. thankfully the clothes aren't wet.

i then put on my new black-and-red armor which i also bought yesterday. i only bought it because it fits the style of my new sword; also it's actually a lot lighter than the one i had before.

i spent yesterday a lot of coins..

after eating my meal, i headed out of the motel. there weren't many people outside.GRR — my body shivered again.it's even colder outside!

i need to hurry to the guild; there is a fire in the middle of the guild.i can already imagine the good feeling of sitting behind the fire and enjoying its warmth on my skin.

i looked up — all i could see were clouds covering the sky. ahh, i already miss the sun.i then sped up my steps.

Location: Specials Guild

as i entered the guild i noticed Larkin and the others sitting at a table next to the fire; it seemed like they were all laughing and having fun. as i got closer they all noticed me and greeted me. i sat down in one of the chairs next to them. the warmth of the fire directly hit my skin, giving me a nice feeling.

"So now that we're all here," Larkin said as he changed his attitude from silly to serious.i gathered you all here because i want your help with myREVENGE!and before any of you says anything, i am ready to pay you all.

I have more than enough money.

Vino put the cup he was drinking from on the table and said, "i will help you with your revenge. anyone who's a friend of Ario is also a friend of mine."

Next, Evin cleared her throat. "Ehm... yeah, me too — i'm ready to help. if it's real, what you told us earlier before Ario came about how the Silencers killed people, then i'm on for the revenge. this doesn't mean i trust you, Larkin — because you for sure killed many people too."

Larkin rubbed his hair. "yes, i am aware of the things i did, but i have never killed anyone innocent. the people i killed were all criminals."

"wait — i have a question, Larkin," i said. "what did the one you were supposed to take out, look like?"

"he is short and has black hair. that's all i know," Larkin said with confidence.

yet i could feel the strange change in his attitude after i asked this question. he is hiding something.

"okay, i have another question. what is your plan to get your revenge?"

"hah, that's simple. my plan is to kill every single Silencer!"

"how many are there?" Evin asked, full of curiosity.

"more than 260."

"what about ranks? do they have something like that?" i asked.

Yes, of course. The ranks are Whisper, Echo, Mute, and finally the Stillheart, the leader of them all.

"and you were?"

with a disappointed face he then said, "Echo, and if i had succeeded in that last mission, i would have become a Mute."

Larkin turned to face Van. "what about you, blue-haired guy? you haven't spoken since we got here. are you in with us to take down the Silencers, or not?"

Van nodded.

"HAH — THAT'S ALL? JUST A NOD?!" Larkin said in frustration. "you really aren't the type to speak much. anyway, how are we gonna begin this plan?"

Evin stood up from her chair. "i did say i'm in, but taking down the Silencers isn't easy. we all know how strong they are — i mean, it's a group that takes down people for money. they aren't called Silencers for nothing. they are STRONG!"

"you're right, girl. i know myself how strong the Silencers are. the training we went through back then just to be a Silencer wasn't easy either. but this doesn't mean we can't at least try."

Evin thought for a second, then sat back down quietly. looks like she agreed to Larkin's argument..

some time passed while we thought of a plan that could work. eventually we came to the idea of first trying to all get stronger. With that idea we decided to make the party we spoke about during the golems mission. We then created our party and registered it with the guild.

We chose the name DiamondHearts for the guild — vino came up with it. He said that "Diamond" represents strength and "Hearts" stands for the members, which are us.

with that we created a guild that will soon be UNBELIEVABLY STRONG-
