Episode 7: Rumors of Thieves - After
He was the one I knew when I looked back at his familiar voice.
"Long time no see."
An informer who sold me a strategic map when I tried the labyrinth.
I haven't seen him in a long time. He approached us just fine.
"I heard what you just said."
They were asking me about my conversation with the receptionist.
I was going to be quite careful, but there were too many people in the current Adventurer Guild who were listening and didn't notice.
But the fact that you've come into contact with me after you've figured out our purpose must mean that you're going to do business as an informant.
"Is this about the thief's bounty? Or did Glorio ask you to do the same?
"Hey......!
I noticed the informant's rudeness, but it's already too late.
"Even Glorio!
"You're an associate of the new emperor!
The people who heard from the surrounding area approached.
Their purpose is Rio.
I want some relevant information, and I don't see it in the Adventurer's Guild in Imperial Capital. I'm trying to get new information from me that I don't know.
"Hey, where are you touching me?"
I was about to talk to her, and a strange man was being slapped to the floor by her hand, as she reached out to me and said her hand had touched Ira.
He served as an escort.
But as for Ira, it looks like she just slapped him upset where he was grabbed.
Anger is scattered over the evidence.
The people who have come near me are scared to stay away from me because of the sudden appearance of a person slapped on the floor.
"Temeye!"
But there was a fellow man inside who was slapped on the floor, and he pulled out his sword and attacked me.
"I won't unplug my weapon in a place like this"
"Gu-ha."
He was hitting a man in the stomach with his right hand when he took the hand he was holding the sword with his left hand.
A man who had been stunned by Ira's attack slept side by side with a man who had been slapped to the floor.
"What are you doing!
An Alliance official came out to hear the noise.
We haven't pulled out our weapons, and we're totally victims, but it's definitely a hassle to be noticed by Alliance officials.
"Let's get out."
"Hey......!
Grab Ira and the informant's body and jump up the crowd.
In those who seek information in the Adventurer Alliance and are looking to build, it is best to react and succeed in leaving the Adventurer Alliance behind without being held back by anyone.
The three of us enter a coffee shop a short distance from the Adventurer's Guild.
I wanted to talk to you somewhere calm.
The sandwiches and coffee I ordered are brought in.
"I'm sorry. I was the devil."
"Please be careful."
I knew if I let the vast majority of people hear Rio's name in the current imperial capital, it would make a scene.
I'm not supposed to be an informer who doesn't know that, but I feel like I dared to give Rio's name.
"Well, let's talk business rather than worry about failure"
"You know what we're looking for."
"Of course. It's information on the burglar bat, right?"
Thief bat.
Such a name was given by the fact that he gave a notice and looked like a bat.
"First of all, the Thief Bat is disgraced."
"Again..."
Ira shrugged.
Giant earth dragons (giant malls) are followed by many divine opponents.
"Again?"
"Don't worry, we're talking over here."
"Really? No one has seen you show up. You were supposed to be tightly guarded. Soon the treasure has been stolen. And then you show them what you stole, and then you run away."
I have no idea where I broke in from.
But only the escape is always seen.
"Are you disappearing or something just the moment you steal it out using some special skill?"
"Right. Include your unique skills and there's no way to steal them out."
Even if Sylvia's [out of the wall] is heavily guarded, she can break in from across the wall and steal the treasure.
Sylvia's father has now broken into a complete chamber [through the wall] and has successfully stolen it.
Just like that, the Thief Bat uses special skills to steal them out.
"What do you think we should do to catch him?
"You have to steal treasures that are protected, even if they were divine. If we keep an eye on the treasure we steal, we can capture the moment we steal it, right?
After all, is that all there is?
I've already figured out the same way, but in order to do that, I need to know what treasure to steal.
"You don't understand all this."
"I thought about checking out the original owner."
Thief bats are targeting nobles and merchants who are hated by the people.
I was wondering if I could find a target for the robbery from that line.
"The target of this robbery was an auction in a few days."
"Yes."
"If you're going to buy additional information, I can tell you about the treasures that the thief bat might be after."
"Real?"
"It's real. I've been following what Rio has done since he became emperor. In the world behind us, there is a list of nobles solemnized by Rio."
That's how valuable the information on the man who became emperor is.
And if you're coming all the way up here with a deal, you're not even going to imitate making me grab a fake.
"The empire is quite vast. Naturally, there are only so many aristocrats, but only a few who have treasures to be auctioned off to become the target of a thief bat."
"I see."
"The McDakart family, the Randall family, who were lord nobles. These two houses had territories near the border opposite the kingdom of Métis and there was constant skirmishing with their neighbours. Because of that, every time a war took place, the people were being taxed heavily and forced to live a painful life, which is a good reason for thieves to target them."
He was a favorite nobleman of such a war, so he was happy to take part in the war against the kingdom, whether on the other side or not.
Eventually, they would take responsibility for the defeat, and most of their property would be confiscated.
"Others were court aristocrats, the Salwells and the Templaries. This house is famous for its terrible corruption and adhesion. It's a house that was lightly solemnized by Rio's hands because it was a powerful backing for the former Crown Prince. Naturally, he also took bribes, so he must have had the treasures that the thieves should be after."
We have information on the nobles who are likely to be targeted.
It would be easier to protect them if we checked against the list from Mr. Cattleya because we could also confirm the treasures we had confiscated from them.
"Thank you"
Place five gold coins on the table.
"Oh, you're so excited."
"That's about as valuable information as it gets."
Drink up coffee.
Now that I know I'm leaving the coffee shop, Ira hurries up for coffee, too.
"Hopefully, you want more information than money."
"Information, is that about Rio?"
The upset spreads to those who are hiding around them.
I moved the place to the coffee shop, but if you look for signs that the professionals who are looking for information about Rio are hiding there.
Not really, I don't want to expose information here.
The information that you are a labyrinth lord should be kept as secret as possible.
"Including the stopping fee. That's the amount."
"Seems like a snake exploring Rio."
"If you go too far, you'll be erased."
For once, he came in contact with me just for buying information.
For me, the Empire has no handover at all, I want to rely on an informant.
It wouldn't be strange to be solemnly cleared by someone in your family if you were collecting too much information about Rio.
"I'll be careful. We already have a couple of missing colleagues."
Was it after the solemnity already?
