How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 67. There's nothing more fun than playing with fire. (3) + If someone else's territory goes well, your stomach hurts.

So what you need to take care of here.

Of the items moved here, it'll be a hassle later, but I'll have to dispose of them secretly.

It's fun just thinking about it.

Even if it looks like this, I've done phantom thieves a few times in my previous life, so I'm used to selecting only valuable items.

“Is the secret vault next?”

He did not forget to find a secret safe made by Sang Sangju and rob it without skipping it.

Anyway, the secret space under the bed is so lame.

It's a pretty decent income.

Worth stealing sometimes?

I think of the old days

Even when I was a phantom thief in my previous life, even when I was smashed like this, I set fire to it, took care of it to my heart's content, and had fun.

‘...Well, he's more of a terrorist than a thief.'

A thief who burns the most powerful aristocratic family in the kingdom and runs away leisurely with treasure.

He is a legendary terrorist who is sure to be unprecedented.

It will surely become a legend that will remain for a long time in the history of the kingdom.

‘Yes, I hope you remember me for such a long time.'

I laughed in my heart and took out the scroll to go back and tore it up.

Now I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning.

? ? ?

The first to hear the news of the terror was Queen Elia.

Naturally, she too was shocked to hear that her parents' house had been attacked.

“… Is your father all right?”

“Fortunately, there were no fatalities.”

The messenger from the family calmly answered Elia's question.

Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, no deaths were reported.

At best, he suffered minor burns while trying to extinguish the fire.

‘There are no victims in such terrorism?'

It's unbelievable.

Should we be relieved by that fact or should we grit our teeth at the current misfortune?

It was difficult for Elia to settle her confused heart at this time as well.

“Who is this?”

The most curious question was who the culprit was.

He dared to question the great aristocrat as well as the culprit who had attacked the queen's parents' house, but the messenger did not say anything.

“.... We are currently investigating.”

The answer she finally gave to the queen's stare, trying to squeeze out an answer, made her feel uncomfortable.

“How could something like that happen and not know who the culprit was?”

Elia, who was about to rage at the incompetence of her subordinates, managed to calm herself down.

The culprit is unknown.

Does that mean that it is a thoroughly instigated terrorism?

She bit her lower lip.

“Be sure to find out who did it.”

“Elia-nim should be careful too.”

“.... I know.”

Was it really aimed at the family itself or was it a precursor to targeting the queen?

She, too, couldn't help but be nervous.

Soon, the entire kingdom turned upside down.

Queen Elia's parental home and the estate of the Prace family, a noble family known in the kingdom, was attacked by unknown terrorists.

Not only the main house but also the branch house, the castle and mansion were completely burned down, and even the warehouse and armory were burnt to black.

In addition, it is said that the store that Prache looked after was also robbed and stored in all warehouses, and even the safe was stolen.

The Duke of Dezel, the head of Prachega, complained to the king about the pain and regret of the terror, and the queen also appealed to the king with tears.

With that coming out, King Theonel couldn't help but move.

Above all, Prache is a great nobleman who takes on an axis of the kingdom.

You can't stand still like this.

“Terrorism against the great nobility is tantamount to treason against the kingdom. Be sure to catch the culprit.”

The king also promised to catch the culprit and ordered a thorough investigation.

Investigations revealed that wizards were involved in the explosion and arson.

A wizard of at least 6th class in terms of size and quality of remaining mana.

The result of the investigation came out that it was also a crime by a large number of magicians.

Even if you guess the size of the magic used and the amount of mana needed for explosion and arson with common sense, it is natural to guess that it is the work of a group rather than an individual.

Who would think this was done by one person?

It was calculated that there must be at least 5 wizards of class 6 or higher to commit such a crime.

In the kingdom, wizards of class 6 or higher - nobles who also have wizards.

And an extensive investigation was conducted to the magic tower, but the culprit was not found.

Even if he investigated the aristocratic families he might have a grudge against, he couldn't find any clues.

There were only unfounded rumors circulating that it was the work of bandits who possessed a large number of wizards, or that it was military retaliation from a foreign country that suffered losses due to this paper, or that it was the work of black magicians like the previous attempted abduction of the second princess. There was no progress.

It is, of course, an absurd delusion.

Which thieves would have a large number of wizards of class 6 or higher?

In addition, neighboring countries actively denied the fact of terrorism and tried to prove an alibi.

Naturally, suspicion was focused on the black magician.

However, their whereabouts were still not properly caught, so the investigation had no choice but to go through difficulties.

There was no progress in the investigation, and even Prache's misfortune did not end there.

In the aftermath of the fire, even the aristocrats of Praze were sick, as if an epidemic had spread.

The great aristocratic family, which boasted enormous wealth, suffered a great blow and could not get out of it.

Afterwards, at the request of the queen and the head of the family, they borrowed money from nobles with whom they were personally close and tried to deal with the terrorism somehow, but when will they be able to wash away the aftermath of this blow?

Those who had supported them in the past also offered a few words of comfort, but did not actively help with the reconstruction.

They are afraid that the hands of an unknown terror will reach them as well.

What if it was an act made out of Praze's grudge?

Even after that, if they get entangled with them, they are worried that the next target will be themselves.

Even after that, the topic in the kingdom did not seem to subside for a while due to the news of Prace's terror.

Meanwhile.

The world's attention to Arel was bound to weaken naturally.

In his territory, Pahilia, there are only 4 class wizards.

And only two of them.

The rest are 3 classes or less.

Terrorism is impossible with that level of magician.

Also, it was because the conclusion was made first that terrorism was impossible with that individual's ability.

This was also guaranteed by the Mage Tower's investigation, so the reliability was deep.

Therefore, a basic investigation was conducted, but he was the first to be excluded from the list of suspects.

There was no one in the world who could doubt him.

* * *

When I heard the news about the terrorism, I had to struggle to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out.

“Terror… the world is so scary.”

scary.

I'm so scared that my shoulders tremble trying to hold back my laughter.

“Is that so? Did you say the entire castle was burned down?”

“Actually, even the warehouse was robbed.”

I know it well because it was me who turned it.

I watched it in first class.

And I didn't leave a penny behind.

“Wow… what kind of guy did it?”

Kania-sister said in disbelief.

It seems that my sister has also heard about how iron-clad (pick up!) the Pratze family has a security system.

When I was living in the palace, I even competed with knights dispatched from there.

My sister must have understood how difficult it was to burn them so thoroughly.

“We should be careful too.”

My older sister muttered something serious.

It seemed that he was nervous that the terrorist might come to our territory as well.

That's a useless worry.

Why?

Because I am the culprit.

Could I set fire to my estate?

“Iknow, right. I will warn the soldiers.”

Still, I can't honestly say I'm the culprit.

“I also donated a little for them, so it would have been a little helpful.”

The person who set the fire helped restore the family there.

I was so full of pretense that even though I was myself, I almost got goosebumps.

I do, but it's really creepy.

It means that the nobleman there even wrote a letter to express his gratitude to me.

Seeing that the handwriting was a little messy, it must have been quite resentful.

Still, I couldn't help but take it.

In particular, I am very curious about what kind of face Queen Elia would have had.

By now, you must be grinding your teeth chasing the culprit and digging in the wrong places.

It's sweet.

“Are you okay?”

“Don't worry about them. Still, he's a nobleman. It is not destroyed overnight.”

As long as the oldest brother exists there, their authority may be weaker than before, but it will not completely disappear.

Even if the rich go bankrupt, they will go for 3 years. If they are rich, they will be able to build similar wealth again in about 20 years.

Kkkkkkkkkkk.

but? I'll be better off by then.

This gap will never be bridged.

It's a bit grumpy, but it's you who tried to touch me first.

It's also what they often do.

I just paid for it the way they do.

Although I paid a little interest, it was worth it.

If your opponent gets dirty.

I can come out several times dirtier than him.

I have the confidence to show you what a real devilish guy is like.

‘With this, I can only focus on my work for the time being.'

Now, Prace, tell him to chase after the terrorist with all his might.

At least for the time being, they won't have time to pay attention to me.

When someone else's territory goes well, it hurts my stomach. (1) In the midst of a terrorist incident in the kingdom, our territory was just about to become agitated by other things.

“Arel. They say you have completed what you ordered last time.”

Dia, who was quietly serving as my assistant today, suddenly flinched and turned her head and murmured softly.

If someone who doesn't know anything sees her, they'll think she's crazy.

It seemed that the talk to himself just now was receiving a report from a mage from another team.

Still a wizard.

Do I use frozen magic when I report to myself?

These days, I've been commissioned to develop a small communication port so that engineers and other departments can communicate in the same way.

Existing communication tools are a little big for writing while working.

Sooner or later, even if it is not between mages, if they are within a certain distance, they will be able to establish a system of immediate contact with each other.

“If I ordered it last time...

For convenience, I have divided the mages into 4 teams.

First, the team in charge of managing and guarding the forest.

Magic tool management team.

A dedicated boundary team.

then what's left

“These are the ones you sent to the vicinity of the village.”

They were obviously entrusted with helping with crop management and problems in the village.

“ah. Is it from them?”

“yes. I got a call from them.”

“Complete... that's the only thing I've ordered them lately, so that's it, right?”

“yes. That is it.”

.... That being said, it looks like there's something there.

No big deal.

What I ordered was a plan to materialize the house farming method here.

He had just ordered the so-called mana house to be stabilized and a way to properly build it established.
