episode_0019

When we arrived at our destination and entered, what we saw were several scholars and grave robbers.

As we went inside and saw them chatting noisily, a staff member greeted us.

The employee smiles and speaks in a high tone.

“Welcome. What brought you here?”

“I would like to find a scholar to visit historical sites with me.”

“What is your grade?”

“Here it is.”

I showed signs rather than words.

Because physical evidence is more certain than words.

The staff member’s smile cracked when he saw my certificate.

The only emotion present in the employee’s facial expression is shock.

She looked at me and the certificate alternately and shouted.

“, A-level grave robber… ?”

At those words, the eyes of those around me turn to me.

I asked Sarah as everyone seemed to be looking at a rare animal.

“Why is everyone like that?”

“I told you so. There are very few A-level grave robbers, so it’s no different from treasure being taken from anywhere. It’s no wonder their eyes are focused this way. There are several districts within the city, and usually A-class and S-class grave robbers are busy wandering around here and there. A class A grave robber suddenly appears here? It’s strange that you’re not interested.”

As he said, the attention of scholars around him gathered.

Each and every one of them seemed to want to go with me in some way.

‘hmm… What should I do?”

Since each scholar is different, I have no idea who I will go with.

After thinking for a moment, I asked Sarah.

“Who should I go with?”

“Hmm… What is the purpose of going to the historic site?”

“Fun?”

Sarah’s expression turned sour in an instant.

I was embarrassed by the gaze that seemed to ask if I was excavating for just that reason.

“That could be true. Why are you like that?”

“… There is no one anywhere in the world who says they go to excavate relics for fun.”

“Now it looks like it.”

“Ha… ”

Sarah let out a sigh that seemed as if she was asking, “What are you doing?”

Of course, I didn’t necessarily go to historical sites just for fun.

A place where the causality, which can be said to be the original purpose, has been disrupted.

This is because it is located in a historical site.

But since I couldn’t say this, I said it was for another purpose: fun.

Sera gave off a very unpleasant look.

“After… is it so. fun… fun… It’s really nice.”

“Stop it. It’s starting to get scary.”

Why is this young guy so cruel?

He was ready to kill someone for saying one wrong thing.

“Who on earth would go with someone just for fun… No, you should go. Because he’s a class A grave robber. But usually, when I go with a scholar, we go with the same goal. If you go for fun, who on earth will you go with? Do I have to take him with me?”

“Okay. I’ll take care of it.”

Since he almost looked like he was crying, I decided to find him myself rather than leaving it to Sarah.

I ignored the gazes directed at me and looked at everyone who appeared to be a scholar.

They all tried to approach me, but they couldn’t.

‘I guess so.’

I didn’t want things to get complicated for no reason, so I radiated my presence.

From their perspective, there is a perception that they want to approach me but cannot. Because of that, I was able to look at others comfortably, and suddenly there was one person who caught my eye.

An old man with a very serious expression.

However, I could see the seriousness in his eyes.

“Let’s take that one.”

Sarah was startled when she pointed at the old man with her finger.

“Um, is that you?”

“Why? Do you know someone?”

“It’s famous… He is a very famous person among scholars. The problem is that even though he is an S-class grave robber, he does not go with me.”

“Then who are you going with?”

“I don’t know that either. So, there are various rumors going around. Actually, he didn’t say anything.”

I became even more interested.

I didn’t know if it would work, but I approached the old man with the idea of talking first.

Sarah stamped her foot and tried to stop me, but I ignored it and stood in front of the old man.

More eyes are turned to me than before.

They were all filled with shock, ridicule, and ridicule.

I just ignored them and looked at the old man with a smile. The old man’s eyes turned to me.

I said to the old man who made eye contact with me.

“Younggam. Are you interested in going into the historical site with us?”

“… ”

Instead of answering, the old man looked at me and Sarah alternately.

Then he said.

“Good. However, if I go where I want.”

“It doesn’t matter to me.”

“Then come back in an hour. Let’s leave right away.”

With those words, the old man focused on his job again.

I nodded slightly and turned to Sarah.

Everyone’s gazes were mixed with astonishment, and Sarah also looked at me as if she couldn’t believe it.

“… How did you do it?”

“How did you do it? I just did it.”

“You just did it, but you seduced a scholar who refused the invitation of an S-class grave robber?”

“Because I’m a little better.”

I left Sarah’s bored look behind me and walked outside.

Sarah hurriedly followed me.

“Where are you going?”

“Young Master told you to come back in an hour, right? So, I decided to take a look around for a while.”

If I wait here, what else will there be other than attracting attention?

I was thinking of taking a look around and then coming back.

Sarah matched my pace and asked with a laugh.

“… Do you realize what a great thing you have done?”

“I don’t know. I’m not interested, the important thing is that you come with us.”

No matter how great it is, what is important and important to recognize at the moment is that the old man is going with us. What could be more important than that?

At least not in my opinion.

You made the choice to come with us, and we are glad to hear that.

“… ”

Sarah looked at me with subtle eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

“No… Just because it was unexpected.”

“What a surprise. How on earth did you see me?”

Sarah’s eyes narrow.

I shrugged my shoulders at the look that seemed to ask if I really didn’t know.

“Why me?”

“… That’s it.”

He shakes his head as if he has nothing to say.

I never thought I would be treated like this.

How long has it been since you were treated like this?

There was no one in particular other than my old colleagues, so it was really funny to see the little guy do this.

“You’re a kid, so who are you treating like a kid?”

“Isn’t he a kid?”

Sarah shouted angrily, as if she had been stabbed.

His face was quite red, perhaps due to his usual complex.

“Not really.”

“Woo… ”

Sarah puffed out her cheeks as if she had nothing else to say.

You don’t even know that such actions make you stand out as a kid.

“Let’s be quiet and take a look.”

“That’s not him!”

“Yes, yes. I’ll tell you no. Please be quiet. There will be scabs on my ears.”

Sera seemed even more indignant and asked me what to do, but I just ignored it and left the guild.

***

Scholar.

They visit historical sites, conduct research on them, and leave records. Although scholars did not have ranks like grave robbers, there were ranks among them.

There is a clear difference in ability even among scholars.

There was an old man who was famous even among such scholars.

The old man’s name was Seltan, and he was considered a legend even among scholars.

This is because the numerous relics he discovered while exploring historical sites are countless.

There is a museum in Leita City, and more than half of the artifacts you can see there are Seltan, making him a legendary scholar.

However, at some point, he stopped entering the ruins, refused all offers from S-class grave robbers, and spent time at the guild every day.

Many people talk about Seltan like that.

Someone said they were sick of it.

Some say I am very old.

Some people say it is some kind of trauma, but no one knows the truth behind the rumors.

Except for Seltan himself.

For the first time, Seltan, who was rumored by so many people, accepted someone’s offer.

He is not a grave robber with a great name or a famous person.

Although he is a class A grave robber, his value is infinitely low compared to his name.

But still, Seltan accepted.

This is because his instincts, having lived for a long time and accumulated a lot of experience, told him.

If you go with them, you can achieve what you want and desire.

Some may say it is a simple feeling.

How can you believe something that has no clear basis?

Especially since he is a scholar.

Rather, it is common to have even more blind faith in the evidence.

Seltan knows.

That not all worlds run on basis.

Also, since his sense, which had no exact basis, had saved his life dozens of times, he tried to trust his sense this time too.
