----

As if the name wasn't a lie, the other person's personal information appeared right away.

As I just said, this guy wasn't a real security guard. It appears that he works at the castle, and his position is displayed correctly.

But even so, he couldn't hide the fact that he was a thief.

"What are you talking about? Even the most noble person cannot tolerate such an insult."

I wondered what the hell this crazy guy was talking about.

Does he think that working at the lord's castle makes him a truly good citizen?

His status as a professional thief says otherwise.

They were not serfs who ran away because they had a hard time making a living but people whose calling it was to kill and steal everything.

How can a guy like that be so polite?

"Im is really going crazy here."

"Where did you come from to insult our territory? At least tell me your name."

"Me? I came here just to do something like this."

This time, I didn't take out the family seal.

There was an investigation warrant issued for Baron Rebrandt, an invincible document bearing the seal of the capital court.

But the other person just blinked blankly, even though it was a document issued by the highest judge.

"Oops!"

I forgot that the illiteracy rate in this world is over 95%.

It is only natural that there would be no response even if a highly authoritative document was pressed against him.

When I was investigating the Erset Mine, it was so out of shape that I had to go through some procedures.

This guy didn't even eat a single grain of knowledge.

"Ugh! Go and get someone who knows how to read and write. A butler or something. It would be better if the lord himself came out."

"You will have to pay the price for daring to call mu lord so carelessly."

The thief glared and glared, then quickly disappeared into the castle.

Eventually, he appeared with Baron Rebrandt. Surprisingly, he seemed to quickly figure out who I was.

"S-sorry, Your Majesty. Because I don't know noble people..."

Of course, the thief fell on the floor and prayed that his hands would become his feet. Baron Rebrandt also bowed his head politely.

"My subordinate's mistake is also my mistake. I am deeply remorseful, so please show me leniency."

Even though he said that, I couldn't just get angry. I decided to just let it go.

Anyway, this guy can be destroyed at any time. I don't mean to press down with authority, but legally. He's a professional thief.

Just catch him and throw him in. There won't be any empty spots in the capital's labor camp.

There are probably a lot more professional thieves besides Shemar.

Right now, there were dozens of campsites located in the Relbrandt territory. I couldn't understand why they let this situation go.

"Instead of doing this here, let's hurry inside. It's starting to get a bit chilly."

I nodded coolly at Baron Relbrandt's suggestion.

But suddenly I had a strange feeling S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

'Huh? Why isn't this person's profile showing up?'

* * *

Because it was late, after dinner, I was taken straight to my lodgings.

I lay down on the soft bed, but it wasn't comfortable at all. My head was so complicated.

"Why?"

All the people I have spoken to so far have their personal information come to mind.

But Baron Rebrandt was an exception.

When I briefly saw him in the courtroom, I didn't even think to open it system window.

He seemed offended by the term slush fund, but wasn't he still a victim?

Everyone makes some kind of emergency fund.

In fact, doesn't everyone have at least one in their back pocket? In the case of the nobility, the scale is just a bit larger. Anyway, that's why I just let it go.

"If I dig into him, I might find something…"

In the end, the key to this incident lay with the lord.

Although there is no evidence yet, I feel very confident. Should I say that my senses are sharp?

But there was no proper method.

It's not like I can just barge in and beat them up.

Do you think that would give a proper answer in the first place?

Rebrandt was a victim of this incident, although something just didn't seem right.

'Ah! Then, we can start by pestering the defendant.'

Of course, the person who invaded Rebrandt Castle and caused trouble was currently in the capital detention center.

But aren't there a lot of people like him here? Almost the entire territory is a den of thieves.

I prepared to go out right away.

"Your Majesty? Where are you going?"

Tobias immediately asked a question. He seemed surprised when I told him I was going to wander around late at night.

Because it is a very unsafe place.

"Let me do some research."

"No matter how much I tell you, it's too dangerous. One hand can't fight ten hands."

In general, Tobias Wilkin was right.

Even a nimble and excellent knight would not have the skill to withstand a siege.

But I am a monster among monsters, called the Berserker of the North. I was someone who could easily handle a hundred people.

"It's okay."

"But wouldn't it be better to move while it's still light?"

"Originally, thieves are active at night."

"That's true, but…"

"Oh, the butler doesn't have to come along. Tell the mercenaries to get some rest too."

"How can you do that? I will definitely go with you."

"This isn't empty talk, it's the truth."

Tobias Wilkin was a man of great passion for his job.

The most important task right now is to help me. Of course, that kind of reaction was inevitable.

The problem was that this guy's power was at rock bottom. I feel like even if I took him with me, he would just become a burden. I had to take special measures.

Tsutsutsu! Puck!

"Please get some sleep."

When the beast's heart was unleashed and it was struck, Tobias rolled his eyes and passed out.

As expected, it's a convenient ability.

Because I can become a superhuman just by using skills.

After knocking Tobias out with a single hand strike, I left the castle.

Strangely enough, the gatekeepers did not stop me at all. He opened the door right away as if he had received some kind of training.

'If a guest were to go out tonight, wouldn't it be appropriate to ask where their destination is?'

Anyway, it was a really strange neighborhood.
