Although the capital of Itthel was already noisy due to various recent events, the event that made the people of the capital the most enthusiastic was the procession of beastn who suddenly appeared one day. The fact that they were rare beasts in Ethiel also drew attention, but the real reason was the huge luggage they brought.
So said they were peddlers from a foreign country, others said they were slaves who ca to pay for the nobles, but in the end it ca down to their luggage being a rare spectacle. As a result, the people of the city, all of them, caught their attention at the unusual procession, and followed them in a row, not doubting that they were headed for a certain nobleman’s house, the head office of a huge rchant guild, or the dwarven district, or even the royal castle.
However, the crowd, which started with the expectation that they would find out what they brought as soon as they arrived at their destination, unless it was a nobleman or a royal family, was soon embarrassed. The first reason was that the beastn stopped in a place completely different from their expectations, and the second reason was that so knights were guarding what could be called a normal house with a yard.
It goes without saying that the people who had co to see it excitedly for that reason quickly dispersed. However, every ti the beastn who put all their belongings down in the yard of the house one by one without opening a single package leave the city without regret, and the knights take turns guarding the house, people’s attention is again focused on the house and the luggage. it started.
Since no one had ever opened Jim’s luggage, no matter how much ti passed, the identity of the owner could not be ascertained.
In Eldmia, the majority of the commoners said, ‘So who is that?’ but a man who makes the absolute majority of nobles and adventurers tremble. It was a secret known only to the parties involved that just by the fact that the fact was revealed, more than half of the people who had a great interest in the unknown luggage turned off their interest.
The rumor spread so quickly that it seed as if soone had deliberately manipulated it, and no matter how much the knights paid attention, most of the onlookers stopped coming. The common people also noticed that there was nothing good about being caught up in the snow.
However, a small number of people in the more rumored and illegal industry have recently recognized the identity of the object based on information obtained from the landlord’s whereabouts and prisoners.
and was enthusiastic At the sa ti, I decided that it was worth risking my life. The by-product of the dragon could have given them an astronomical amount of money that they would not be able to touch even if they died and ca back to life three tis, so it was hard to call it reckless.
Contrary to the fact that the bare footsteps ceased, as rumors spread that all of the luggage piled up in the yard was a by-product of the dragon, the number of clandestine footsteps gradually increased. The more the Knights, who noticed the disturbing movents, beca more vigilant and mobilized even the wizards, the more the hearts of those who were aiming for the by-products only beat faster.
It has been a long ti since the question of why it was neglected like that was briefly ntioned in the beginning and then disappeared. The value of the gold lying on the side of the road was too great to dwell on such a thing.
Not only in the capital city, but all over Isthel, the more thieves and adventurers who did not hesitate to do illegal things gathered together after hearing rumors, they only thought about how to steal them.
And before long, the thieves started dying every day.
Those who thought it was all about looking complacent, those who tried to hide themselves with magic, those who made their na known as famous thieves, and so on. It was as if most of the thieves in Itthel had been driven to the capital. Nevertheless, no one succeeded and died at the hands of the Knights.
After so much ti has passed, interest in the by-products of dragons has faded as they are now called poisonous pear instead of neglected gold.
“The knights don’t start from the barracks. They rent out an entire nearby inn and use it as a temporary headquarters. And I confird that the wizards are also staying there. If you are discovered by the barrier, the knights will surround the whole area in less than two minutes. You can see it.”
In just a few months, a new group of people seeking to make a fortune have appeared.
The six people sitting together in a cheap inn room are all different. The only thing they have in common is that they all have thin bodies and even their clothes are light. At first glance, it looks like a rookie adventurer, but in a way, it looks like a veteran adventurer who only focused on light weight.
“And the barrier to confirm outside intrusion is fourfold, contrary to what is known. However, there is no way that Mash, who was famous as a book thief, was stabbed to death by barely noticing the fourfold barrier. Here, as originally planned, we will have to tear all the scrolls. sa.”
“Wow, all that expensive stuff?”
“If you get even a piece of dragon scales in return, it’s a trade that’s left over.”
“That’s true…”
It’s not like robbing a noble’s mansion, nor robbing a royal castle. It’s just bringing things from the yard. However, the five people gathered in one place were concentrating on the map spread out on the table by a skinny middle-aged man with an impossibly serious face.
Like forr adventurers who once acted as scouts, they skillfully morized the map while listening to the man. Now they chose stealing in the city rather than risking their lives to explore and travel, but as they were active up to the purple level, the habit was unavoidable.
“It is a special product delivered as munitions. It does not simply tear the barrier, but stops it. From the point of view of magicians, the barrier is recognized as intact without any corners.”
After gathering them together, the middle-aged man takes out a scroll from his pocket and puts it on the table. Certainly, the royal seal was imprinted on the wax that sealed the scroll.
“So there’s no need to be careful?”
“It’s only temporary. Even that, if you look at it for more than a few minutes, you’ll notice the change.”
“Then doesn’t it make no sense?”
“If that was the case, I wouldn’t even say it. I’ve already been using the scroll for a long ti to decorate it like a temporary barrier malfunction. Wizards who ran right away at first now co to the point where they have to reconfirm after a certain amount of ti has passed.”
All the forr adventurers briefly admired the middle-aged man’s calm reply. As they took part in this round of preparation and planning, their satisfaction only increased as the middle-aged explanations beca longer and more detailed.
“For so reason, the knights didn’t bother to set up torches in all directions to light up the blind spots. During shifts, there is inevitably a space where one’s gaze is empty, so if you take advantage of that gap and hide between the blind spots and piles of luggage, ” Is
this a problem that will end so simply?”
“It looks simple since you guys only told what to do. How much ti and money do you think he spent on that montary gap?”
The man clicked his tongue as if he had heard the pitiful question,
but marked the location on the map. was excluded by jumping directly with his feet as much as possible. I hope there will be no dissatisfaction with the dividend, thinking that it would be okay if I didn’t exist.” ”
Ah,
it’s not like we work once or twice, but we don’t go that far.” That’s… I don’t know.”
The middle-aged man’s expressionless gaze lightly glanced at the other thieves, but there was no reaction. The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders lightly and put aside the ink and quill and added an explanation. “I checked without being able to put it away
. The only variable that could not be found was the employee residing in the house. It moves like a normal maid, but honestly, it’s so normal that I doubt it.” ”
Hahaha, what are you talking about? It’s so normal that I doubt it.”
The woman who had been participating in the conversation, arousing a heavy atmosphere with a light tone, waved her hand and smiled, but the middle-aged shook her head lightly and made her point clear. “To him, the owner of the house
, There was no way to contact Eldmia separately. All I do is go to market every morning, co back, tidy up the house, and go to bed early, which is an extrely common and repetitive routine. What would you think if you saw a lot of beastn suddenly appearing in front of such a woman and unloading their luggage in the yard without the owner’s permission, and at the sa ti seeing knights coming and standing guard on duty every day?” “At least they won’t be calm
. ”
The middle-aged man nodded after looking at the woman with a dumbfounded expression as if he had been hit once and the man who answered his question
. At the sa ti, nothing is known, so maybe that woman could be the biggest variable.”
“If that’s the case, what will you do?
” Otherwise, I don’t need to increase the cri, so I’m leaving it alone.”
Everyone except the woman nodded in agreent as if it didn’t matter, and the woman whistled lightly and said, “Sorry.” ”
What
…”
Middle-aged The man tried to question her words, but he couldn’t continue.
-The door,
which must have been locked, opened so naturally, and five people he had never seen before appeared. Everyone’s eyes were on them, but there was surprise instead of wonder. There was
no sound or presence. Despite the fact that each and every one of them was an adventurer with a history of self-sufficiency in the past, they I didn’t even recognize that there were unidentified uninvited guests standing in front of .
“Tier asked to, so I tried to solve it as good as possible. I also liked this position.”
While the middle-aged man was also stunned, an unfamiliar voice this ti he hadn’t heard before forcibly grabbed his attention
. This was the spot where the thief was sitting. The woman with her auburn hair roughly tied back and full of freckles all over her face was nicknad the spider because she had the ability to climb over the castle wall without any tools
. In that seat was a completely different person, not the
woman who was
called the spider. Terrifyingly, the uninvited guests standing outside burst into the room without making a sound.
