Chapter 64

—

[Where is it? ]

The bald man shouted out the door.

“hey! Is there anyone out there?”

He called his subordinate and handed him the paper he had written on just moments ago.

“This is information about the person the customer asked us to find. Find out first!”

The subordinate who received the paper bowed his head and went out.

“yep!”

The great man glanced at the note. Secret words that only thieves could understand were written like graffiti between the information he had given.

Since each guild was different, I couldn’t read the secret language, but at least I knew that such secret language was not used in ordinary situations.

Daein’s doubts have now become certainty.

‘these guys. ‘You must know something.’

As the big man stared, the bald man rubbed his palms together and smiled slyly.

“Just wait a moment and our informant will find out soon.”

However, even after waiting for 10 to 20 minutes, the informant did not come.

Instead, it was others who came.

Tuk-tuk.

Alina lightly poked the great man’s side.

She naturally covered her mouth with one hand and spoke very softly so that only adults could hear.

‘I hear footsteps outside the door.’

The half-elf’s sensitive hearing seemed to have caught the thieves’ presence.

The great man nodded slightly.

There are five signs outside the door. They were properly trained in hiding.

It felt quite familiar to Daein.

‘They seem more like assassins than thieves?’

I just asked them to find a goblin mask, but they put an assassin on standby…

This situation is getting more and more interesting.

The great man looked at the bald man and said.

“Is the original informant this late?”

The bald man laughed awkwardly. The great man could see a single drop of cold sweat flowing down his smooth forehead.

“That’s right. He must have fallen asleep on the way…”

After a while, a thief entered the room and handed the bald man a note.

The bald man’s expression hardened slightly after reading the note. He said while looking at the person’s eyes.

“They say the information you are looking for is at our guild headquarters.”

“Then tell them to bring it back right away.”

“But that’s…”

The bald head looked a little embarrassed.

“Because it is a document that cannot be leaked. If you want to view it, you have to go to our headquarters…”

“To the Thieves Guild headquarters?”

The place where Daein and his party were now was one of the branches of the Thieves Guild in the slums.

The location of the Thieves Guild headquarters was hidden, and only a few people knew its location.

‘And once an outsider sets foot there, he almost never comes back.’

The great man knew that, but he nodded calmly, pretending not to know anything.

“okay? Then guide me.”

At that moment, the bald man internally sighed in relief.

‘Whew.’

If the master refused, there was an order written in the note to arrest them along with the guild members waiting outside the door.

The opponent is a wizard who uses fire magic without any spells.

If I had to fight, the burden would be great. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, taking it to the guild headquarters was a different story.

‘Hehe. I don’t know if you’re stupid or confident in your skills, but… When I get to headquarters, all the gold coins in your pocket are mine.’

The bald man stood up and bowed, hiding his mean intentions.

“Then follow me. “I will take you safely to headquarters.”

The bald man who turned around had a sly smile on his lips.

And a similar smile appeared on the face of the great man who followed behind him.

‘If I do well today, I’ll make a fortune, right?’

Thieves Guild Headquarters.

In other words, it was the city’s treasure trove.

***

Daein and his party walked through a complicated underground passage like an ant tunnel along a bald head.

The path keeps changing in the middle and I come out and enter a new underground passage several times.

The great man looked at Lily, who was following closely to his right.

The girl was holding on to his sleeve with her small hand.

“kid. “Doesn’t your leg hurt?”

It would have been normal if she had complained about her legs hurting and being hungry a long time ago, but Lily nodded with a rather dark expression.

“huh. It’s okay…”

Probably because it reminded me of a nightmare from the past.

Memories related to the goblin mask still haunted the young girl.

The great man asked, tapping his hand on Lily’s head.

“Aren’t you hungry?”

“…a little?”

Seeing the girl looking up at him with big eyes, Daein chuckled with a look on his face that said, ‘That’s true of you.’

“wait.”

The great man took out a chocolate bar from the inside pocket of his robe.

It was my favorite chocolate bar that I brought with me to give to my little boy when he cried, sulked, was in pain, or was weak.

In short, a secret weapon.

Daein opened the chocolate bar, took a bite, and put the rest in Lily’s mouth.

“hmm. It’s delicious. “For now, just eat this.”

“Cjokoba!”

I thought she would eat it all in one bite, but Lily smiled brightly as she ate the chocolate bar little by little.

“thank you. mister.”

As she held the man’s sleeve in one hand and a delicious chocolate bar in the other, the girl was no longer afraid.

It seemed safe to say that the scary goblin mask would now appear.

Lily muttered, chewing on her chocolate bar.

“It’s really delicious… it’s the best I’ve ever had.”

It was so delicious that it almost brought tears to my eyes.

Lily wiped her tears with her sleeve and laughed.

The great man saw that, but turned his head away, pretending not to notice.

“It’s okay to overdo it.”

After a while, the group arrived in front of an elevator powered by magic power.

The bald man who guided the group said while rubbing his palms.

“We’re all here. Now, if you climb this, you will arrive at headquarters.”

The place the group arrived in the elevator was inside a large mansion.

It was quite dark inside the mansion.

The windows had shutters so you couldn’t see outside, and although there were lights on throughout the house, there were many places in shadow.

The bald man led the group to one of the rooms in the mansion.

“Please come this way.”

A tea table was placed in a fairly large room.

The bald man standing next to the door said, pointing to the tea table with both hands.

“If you wait there for a moment, someone will come with information shortly.”

“Tell them to come quickly.”

The man nodded and walked to the table and sat down. Lily and Alina followed him and sat down at the table.

At that moment, a bitter smile appeared on the lips of the bald man standing in front of the door.

“Hehe. “I got caught.”

At the same time,

thump thump thump thump!

Iron bars protruded from the ceiling and floor simultaneously around the tea table.

In an instant, an iron cage with a radius of about 3 meters trapped the three people.

Princess Alina, startled, jumped up.

“What are you doing?”

Cheaeng!

She pulled out her sword from within her robes and looked around.

Ssssssut.

The thieves hiding in the shadows began to appear one by one throughout the mansion.

All of them have a high level of hiding ability.

These were powerful people who showed that this was the headquarters of the Thieves Guild.

And from among them, a middle-aged woman fully adorned with gold walked out.

“Are these kids?”

The bald man bowed his head to the middle-aged woman.

“yes! master!”

She was Goldmary, the so-called master of the thieves’ guild in this city.

At that moment, Alina shouted with an angry face.

“You guys! You fooled us! After all, you know my identity…!”

“Identity?”

Goldmary tilted her head. Then he looked back at the bald man and said.

“What is that girl?”

“yes? “I know that too…”

As the two people talked calmly, Princess Alina’s eyes lit up even more and she shouted.

She couldn’t help but associate this whole situation with herself.

“Don’t act like a fool! “They set a trap to sell me to the weightlifters… Ugh!”

Daein covered Alina’s mouth and sighed.

“The kid is a little out of his mind. “Please talk to me.”

However, once he became a master of the Thieves Guild, he could combine countless pieces of information with just a few words.

“No way…”

Goldmary looked at Alina with an expression of disbelief.

“princess?”

Princess Alina finally realized that this situation had nothing to do with her.

“You are wrong!”

I tried to deny it later, but it was already too late. First of all, the tone of speech was poor.

“Oh my!”

Goldmary covered her mouth with both hands. The gold ring on her ten fingers sparkled.

“Oh my! Guys. We had a great day today! What’s going on with the princess and the information I’m giving them? “Let’s take off that mask quickly!”

The word ‘they’ stimulated Daein’s ears.

The great man stepped forward and said.

“Are the people you’re talking about the ones wearing masks? Goblins and orcs? “How many other people are there?”

Instead of answering, Goldmary looked at the great man as if he were looking at a strange creature.

“You’re the man who goes around with the runaway princess… Who are you?”

According to what I heard from my subordinates, this young man was the leader of this group.

The man is presumed to be a high-level fire magician, but other than that, there is no other information.

Also, a dangerous person who is asking for information about ‘them’.

However, since all the fish had been caught, Goldmary was relaxed.

“I ask the questions. “You just have to answer the questions I ask.”

At that moment, Daein made a bewildered expression.

“I paid the money? Why is the service here so bad?”

Goldmary chuckled at the man’s still confident attitude.

“If you’re thinking about believing in your magic skills, give up. “There is a mana seal barrier where you are standing.”

Sigh!

When Goldmary clicked her fingers, the magic sealing barrier hidden under the table was activated.

Wooooow!

The moment the barrier was activated, Princess Alina took a breath.

“Huh!”

It was as if the mana in his body had suddenly turned to stone and he did not move.

Daein also frowned.

It wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t use it at all, but the power supply was fluctuating more unstable than usual.

“It’s true. “This isn’t something that costs a penny or two… I honestly didn’t expect this.”

“joy. Do you understand what situation you are in now?”

Goldmary stepped forward further.

Because there was nothing to be afraid of like a wizard with sealed mana.

“Then answer my questions now. “If you don’t want to have holes in your body.”

As she lightly raised her hand, several thieves standing behind raised their crossbows and aimed them at Daein.

“First question. “Why are you looking for the goblin mask?”

“Find it… Wait a minute. “Where is this?”

The great man postponed his answer and took out something from inside his robe.

A palm-sized metal with an L-shape that is very unfamiliar to people on the Gaia continent.

It was an item called a pistol.

It is also an original weapon made by a superhuman with the [Creator] attribute.

The model name is JEUS.

Daein picked up Zeus and aimed it at Gold Mary.

“I’m going to find it and do this.”

Taang!

The moment the gun fired, Goldmary fell down, holding her leg.

“Aaaah!”

Before the other thieves could react, Daein pulled the trigger one after another.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The thieves holding crossbows were the first to fall.

Next, those who were near Goldmary, who took out daggers and tried to throw them, were shot one after another and fell down.

Daein, who had used up all his bullets, quickly replaced the magazine. With almost no delay, the gun fired again.

“Kaaak!”

“Kuheook!”

In the closet in the shadows on the roof.

No matter where you were hiding, you couldn’t avoid bullets.

In less than a minute, all of the thieves in the room fell to the floor.

“Whoa-.”

The great man blew into the muzzle of his gun like a western gunman.

And he said with a grin.

“A gunfighter in a fantasy world. “I really wanted to try this.”

Meanwhile, Goldmary was running away, dragging her shot leg.

When almost everyone had left the room, she screamed hysterically.

“You’re stuck there anyway! wait! “I’ll come back and kill you!”

“You’ve never been locked up?”

The great man pulled Shalit from his belt.

Slurp.

The cursed magic sword radiated a strange energy.

Even if you didn’t have to use mana, it was possible as long as you had a trained body and a sharp sword.

At least cutting the iron bars.

Suddenly!

The bars imprisoning the three were cut, and the man escaped the prison on foot.

“That’s ridiculous…”

The great man squatted in front of Goldmary, whose mouth was open as if her jaw was about to fall out.

“You are definitely a wizard…”

The great man grinned at her words.

“I asked to have my pass made into a wizard. “I never said I was a wizard?”

The great man pressed the muzzle of Zeus’s gun against Goldmary’s forehead.

Ugh….

The muzzle of the gun that touched her forehead was hot, but Goldmary began to shiver as if she had a chill.

The great man asked her in a low voice.

“That goblin bastard. Where are you?”

[ Where are you? ]End
