35. Are you saying I robbed my house?

I looked slightly surprised.

“Prince…? Maximilian?”

“Ah, yes. That’s right.”

Actual thieves guilds also accept requests. It wasn’t like I was stealing something every day. After receiving a request, he even stole the item the client wanted.

And that was the case this time.

However, I made an expression that I did not understand.

There was no need to make such a fuss since it was only a request from the prince.

‘If that’s the case, you can tell Robin later.’

But I erased that thought.

This was because the details of the request that were revealed were quite shocking. This is why he immediately used a magic item.

“He asked me to rob the mercenary king.”

“……Mercenary King?”

“Yes. I’m talking about Jace Allen, the head of the special section.”

Before I knew it, I was called a special section representative instead of a magic prosecutor. To that extent, the symbolism of special and overrepresentation could be seen as high.

Anyway, that wasn’t the important thing.

I asked him what the prince was trying to steal.

“What are you trying to steal from the mercenary king?”

“I asked you to steal a sword.”

“Sword?”

“Yes. It was said to be a sword given by His Majesty.”

“Ah…”

I thought of a sword left unattended in the basement. It was clearly a precious sword given by the king.

But it was useless.

So it was just left unattended.

Of course, it seemed to have a slightly different meaning to the prince.

I didn’t know they would ask the Thieves’ Guild to steal it.

‘I guess it’s a greater sword than I thought?’

If it had been an ordinary sword, the prince would not have behaved like this. There was definitely something there.

‘By the way… how dare you try to steal my precious item?’

Anyway, it was quite embarrassing.

I dared to try to steal my precious(?) sword given to me by His Majesty. I could never leave it alone.

It was certain that he would be thoroughly beaten.

‘And it would be better if I also knew the information about the sword.’

I immediately started spinning my head.

First of all, the reason King Ildo brought up this story with me was obvious.

“Are you asking for help?”

“Yes, that’s right. We just can’t be confident enough…”

The plan was to rob that mercenary king.

In other words, it was a call to rob the house of the third awakened person.

Additionally, a rumor had recently spread that I was a great wizard. And the wizard’s mansion was notoriously dangerous.

Even the greatest thieves would not have dared to think of this.

But what if the Archmage helps them?

Then the story changes. Even though I didn’t know how to fight, I didn’t know if it was possible to burst.

“Hmm… Rob the mercenary king…”

I closed my eyes and thought slightly.

Actually, I had already come up with a good method.

At that time, King Ildo’s voice was heard.

“Sue, just by accepting, he said he would give you 2,000 gold as an advance fee.”

“2,000 gold?”

“Yes. He said that if he succeeds, he will receive an additional 3,000 gold.”

“A total of 5,000 gold…”

It was 5 billion Korean Won. It was not money that even the prince could easily spend.

‘I guess that means the sword is worth that much.’

According to my research, it was an old sword with nothing on it. I don’t know what on earth that sword is causing such a fuss.

Anyway, it was a very worrying situation.

He was suggesting that I rob my own house.

It was a very absurd situation.

But I quickly nodded.

“Let me take on the request.”

“Are you serious?”

Unbelievably, he declared that he was going to rob my own house.

However, there were some conditions.

“The number of people is small and elite. And I will be the only one entering the mercenary king’s house.”

“Well, is that okay?”

“Yes, that way you won’t be caught.”

“Okay.”

He also agreed with this opinion.

Indeed, it was the archmage’s opinion. I couldn’t help but agree.

The problem was a different condition.

“I take 80% of the request fee.”

“Yes…?”

It was said that he would steal 4,000 gold by himself.

However, this request could only be carried out if I was there.

That’s why he called me too.

I looked at him tiredly.

Obviously my face was covered with a robe.

But an unknown pressure began to surround me.

And couldn’t he bear that pressure?

“Oh, I understand.”

In the end, he agreed to my terms.

I nodded with a gesture of satisfaction. And then he stood up.

“The execution date is tomorrow. Please tell the prince in advance.”

“Do you mean tomorrow?”

“Yes, the faster the better.”

In fact, tomorrow was the most relaxed day. So we decided on tomorrow.

“The time is… 11 p.m. At that time, gather near the mercenary king’s house. Oh, don’t approach within 100 meters.”

“Okay.”

I just said the word and prepared to leave.

It was a fairly quick move.

And there was a reason for everything.

‘You mean you get 4,000 gold for free?’

This was because it was difficult to hold back the laughter that was about to come out.

I got rid of that obnoxious prince, got money, and learned the secret of the sword.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Well, I’ll see you tomorrow then.”

“Okay.”

I quickly moved away from the Thieves Guild.

It seemed like a good idea to start with the Thieves Guild.

All these hallways are rolling.

***

next day. 11pm.

I looked at the five people gathered in front of me.

It was a group of people from King Ildo to King Odo. In fact, it could be said that he had brought with him the most elite members of the Thieves Guild.

Maybe that’s why they all entered the academy without difficulty.

Of course, compared to that, everyone had very nervous faces.

After all, it was to rob that mercenary king.

You can’t help but be nervous.

I looked at them for a moment and held out my hand.

And I used magic lightly.

‘Silence.’

It was a magic that silenced the sound. Of course, I gave it to all 5 people.

“With this, the mercenary king won’t get caught.”

At my words, everyone opened their mouths and started saying something. It seemed like he was saying thank you.

But no sound was heard. It was because of my magic.

“……!!”

“……!!”

Everyone had surprised faces.

And he gave me a look of admiration.

But I just skipped their gaze.

Because I lied to them.

With this, I could not escape from the senses of a third awakened person. But it didn’t matter.

It was actually effective to some extent, and there was no one in the mercenary king’s house anyway.

‘I’m here right now, there’s no way there’s anyone in the house.’

It was like that.

I was about to rob an unoccupied house. That’s my house too.

It was a truly ironic situation.

Anyway, I started walking ahead. And on that day, five people followed us like ducklings.

Everyone was very surprised that there was no sound.

So we moved on quickly.

Even at 10 p.m., the academy becomes very dark.

That was inevitable because the dorm lights were turned off at 10 p.m.

To put it simply, those staying in the dormitory had to go to bed at 10 o’clock. Of course, there weren’t many students actually sleeping.

Anyway, perhaps that was why the academy was in a very dark state. In addition, we showed skilled movements.

Of course, no one saw us.

Soon, a two-story single-family house appeared in front of us.

A single room for four people from the special department appeared.

Among them, the mansion in front of you was the mansion of the mercenary king. It was the mansion on the far right, and all the lights were currently off.

Fortunately, the distance between the mansions was quite long. So the possibility of being caught by a guy like the warrior was quite low.

But I didn’t know.

I cast the silence spell on everything near the mansion. It was as if the mansion itself had been completely turned into a soundless space.

Of course, it was something I could do because it was me.

Soon, the thieves looked like they were impressed.

It would be surprising since there was no sound nearby.

Anyway, I plastered the area around the house with silence magic. Now, it can be assumed that there is no chance of being caught.

As soon as I finished all the preliminary work, I sent a signal to the five people.

It was a signal to wait here.

At my signal, the five thieves looked anxious.

From now on, I had to sneak into that mansion alone. It must be quite unsettling for them as well.

But there was nothing they could do.

They just silently cheered.

Soon the five thieves started cheering me on with a combination of strange expressions and gestures.

“……!!”

“……!!”

It was a movement to try something.

Of course, I ignored that disgusting cheer. That didn’t help at all.

And then they quickly began to approach the mercenary king’s mansion.

There were many traps laid in my mansion. It was a trap made with magic.

Naturally, this made it difficult for thieves to break into my house. It was virtually impossible.

However, if you go to the front door, it was okay. I didn’t set up a trap because I had to use this place.

And I confidently headed to the front door.

The thieves stopped cheering when they saw me. And then he looked anxious again. It was because it was my first time seeing a thief confidently heading towards the front door.

Of course, contrary to their worries, nothing happened.

I ignored their surprised looks and soon arrived at the front door.

The front door was an ordinary wooden door.

But you shouldn’t underestimate it. It was a door plastered with all kinds of magic. Of course, it couldn’t be opened without the key.

Of course, there was no way at all.

‘Just dismantle all the magic.’

It was a method that not everyone could do. Even the Archmage’s method required a lot of time.

But for me it was very easy.

Because I made it.

Soon light appeared in my hand.

And then I started dismantling the magic on the front door one by one.

‘First, dismantle the alarm magic… then curse magic, explosion magic, and lightning magic…’

The more my hand shined, the more the magic on the front door disappeared.

And the thieves stared blankly at that. I thought it was probably because it was my first time seeing an archmage opening a door.

Did about 5 minutes pass like that?

‘Even the fixing magic… whew, it’s over.’

I dismantled all the magic on the front door.

After that, he slowly started pushing the door.

Sigh.

Then, surprisingly, the door began to open.
