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 beastmen 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.
Some said they were peddlers from a foreign country, others said they were slaves who came to pay for the nobles, but in the end it came 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 merchant 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 beastmen stopped in a place completely different from their expectations, and the second reason was that some knights were guarding what could be called a normal house with a yard.
It goes without saying that the people who had come to see it excitedly for that reason quickly dispersed. However, every time the beastmen 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 time 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 seemed as if someone 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 same time, 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 came back to life three times, 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 movements, became 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 time since the question of why it was neglected like that was briefly mentioned 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 name 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 time has passed, interest in the by-products of dragons has faded as they are now called poisonous pear instead of neglected gold.
, There was no way to contact Eldmia separately. All I do is go to market every morning, come back, tidy up the house, and go to bed early, which is an extremely common and repetitive routine. What would you think if you saw a lot of beastmen suddenly appearing in front of such a woman and unloading their luggage in the yard without the owner’s permission, and at the same time 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 same time, 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 crime, so I’m leaving it alone.”
Everyone except the woman nodded in agreement 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 me.
“Tier asked me 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 time 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 nicknamed 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.
