The World-Class Extra’s Walkthrough Chapter 277

Episode 277:

Thief (2)

I was crossing the hallway, going back and forth between empty rooms.

Suddenly, my back felt cold.

“what…?”

I stopped for a moment and looked around, but didn’t see anything special.

I didn’t miss anything.

I was using my senses to read the movements of the Marquis’ servants, using the magical power spread in all directions.

‘I don’t think there’s anyone approaching this way right now? ‘Let’s take a closer look.’

There was nothing special.

Everyone is just moving normally according to their own path.

‘But that feeling just now…?’

I don’t know.

I started walking again, scratching my chin.

Eventually, we arrived at our destination.

The door to the marquis’ study was already slightly open.

As I listened closely, I could hear something rustling inside.

It means cleaning.

‘Here, most players choose one of two options.’

Should you save the person cleaning by hiding outside the door for a while?

Or will you just push on and kill your opponent?

The sound of the door opening hinge was unexpectedly loud, so it was inevitable that it would attract the attention of the cleaner.

If you choose to show humanity and let the other person live…

‘Time is delayed and you will be met by three patrols right after entering the study.’

Because this was a problem with users’ schedules, there was no way for players to deal with it.

So, it was inevitable that one would see blood either way.

But I was a little different.

[Defensive skill: Crest of the evil spirit]

< Crest of the evil spirit >

[Defensive skill][Wraith Assassin only]

You exist everywhere. Take advantage of the fear that never goes away and dominate all areas.

You can neutralize enemy actions by specifying a certain range. If the enemy is of a lower level than you, it will immediately stun you.

Tsusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss….

Tsusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssing…. As the skill was activated, the surrounding area turned black as if it had been eaten by a shadow.

I controlled the movement by placing my fingertips on the floor.

As expected from a ghost assassin, this was a truly deceptive skill.

‘It’s a defensive technique, but you can control its shape and range at will, so it’s actually no different from an offensive technique, right?’

dump.

The sound of someone falling was heard beyond the door.

I immediately opened the door and entered.

There was a loud sound of rusty hinges moving, but there was no need to pay attention.

“Kung…”

The servant holding the broom had already fallen asleep.

For most NPCs, once you come into range, it’s over.

‘Then either you go into brief rigidity or faint.’

I tightly bound the fallen servant, even covering his eyes, and locked the study door.

Next, I approached the glass display cases that filled one side of the study.

My target was on the other side of the glass window, protected by powerful reinforcement magic.

‘Cloak of the barrier.’

The cape, as white as snow, was described as dazzling.

But there was no need to worry.

As it was an artifact created for concealment and cover, the user could change its appearance at will by simply inserting magical power.

“Okay then…”

I put my hand to the lock that locked the display case.

The window was protected by magic, but the lock itself was mechanical.

It was a structure that could be opened with just a sharp tool and the player’s unlocking skill.

I obtained the highest level tool from Auracus and also acquired the unlock skill in the past.

‘It may take some time because the lock is a double structure, but…’

Still, it can be completed in 3 minutes.

I pushed the tweezers into the lock hole and started fiddling with it.

[‘Unlocking’ starts now. Stay focused.]

[There are 172 seconds remaining….]

You must pay all your attention to the sensations in your fingertips.

Time slowly decreased.

The moment I finally caught the feeling that something was slightly caught inside.

‘it’s okay!’

With a rattling sound, the lock was unlocked and the window was opened.

I took out the ‘Cloak of Barrier’ with a happy heart.

< Cloak of the Barrier >

[Clothing] A magic cloak made by a high-ranking noble with impure intentions. If you wear it and infuse it with magic, you can form a large-scale distortion barrier around it. The inside cannot be observed from the outside.

Special: This is a one-of-a-kind prototype that has not yet been mass-produced.

“….”

I was just about to turn around, but the last line caught my eye strangely.

Is this just remorse?

For some reason, my steps felt heavy.

‘I don’t think there’s a need to do this to someone who is plotting treason anyway.’

Hey, I don’t know.

I took out a bag of gold coins from my pocket and threw them where the cloak of the barrier was hanging.

‘This is enough. No, I actually hit him a lot!’

The moment when I was about to shake off the hand of conscience and turn around.

My eyes widened when I noticed something on another shelf.

Among the various books, a title written with handwriting was attracting attention.

“Baltic royal family survey records…?”

There was nothing to think about for long.

What if the Marquis de Boares summarized his investigation into the royal family?

‘It will be a great help in resolving the cost of fitting that cannot be paid!’

I quickly started unlocking the second lock, counting the time in my head.

Considering the interval between servants patrolling, it was quite close.

[There are 169 seconds remaining….]

In the worst case, I may have to write ‘Song of Steel’.

I don’t have enough gold to compensate for the loss of this entire mansion.

I focused all my concentration on my fingertips and began to unlock the lock.

* * *

“As expected, the Sword Master is scary. “I never thought this would get caught.”

“I asked who you are. And why did you hide in my house?”

Even though he was threatened by the Marquis’ sword, the intruder did not lose his bright smile.

A woman whose entire body was covered in a black special-purpose uniform, as if she had invaded with great intention.

Although his complexion was discolored due to bleeding, he kept his mouth shut about his identity and purpose.

“If I were to give an easy answer, it would also hurt my pride. “I’ll show you hell until you feel like opening your mouth.”

A scarlet tinge appeared on Fox Buarez’s blade.

A perfectly shaped sword spirit that gave the Marquis the prestigious title of ‘Shield of the Empire’.

The extreme cutting power will cut the opponent’s body into pieces and function as the most efficient torture method.

The intruder sighed.

“stop! I’ll just say it. “I am Janet Lorix.”

“Who told you to give your name?”

“You really don’t know? Janet Lorix? “I’m pretty famous.”

“…!”

The sword spirit of the Marquis de Buares, who recognized the identity of his opponent, disappeared like a mirage.

If this self-introduction is true, there is no reason to turn them into enemies.

“Janet Lorix? “You are the woman who leads the revolutionary army’s corps?”

“yes that’s right.”

Hyeopsadan.

A secret intelligence organization and special operation unit of the Revolutionary Army.

In Auracus, they were disguised as a group of back alley charlatans.

It was very unnatural for its leader, Janet Lorix, to be discovered in the middle of the capital of an enemy country…

“Are you going to believe it?”

“I will decide after hearing the reason why my house was broken into.”

“You’re wise.”

Fox Buarez sensed there was some context.

If this woman talks nonsense, it is not too late to hit her head.

“The person I was looking for came here, so after some thought, I followed him.”

“Who are you looking for? who?”

“He is the 3rd prince of Gilroshan. “Who would it be?”

“…!”

“The Marquis was curious too, but he didn’t have anything else to see today. “Really.”

Janet grinned.

The Marquis, who was lost in thought for a moment, opened his mouth.

“Is it because of something that happened recently? “Is it because the 3rd prince hunted down and arrested a large number of people who were in secret with the revolutionary army?”

More than a dozen spies were arrested, starting with Minister of Palace Affairs Jairic Moss.

In the process, the Five-Colored Spire was searched and seized, and an unprecedented incident occurred in which the owner of the spire, Roxanne Sciorra, escaped and was wanted.

This was all led by the 3rd Prince Giloshan, so it was not surprising if the revolutionary army was gnashing its teeth.

But…

“No, that’s not it.”

“No?”

“There have been voices of concern from the leadership, but I am not personally making any moves to that extent. “If the 3rd prince knew something deeper, we wouldn’t know.”

“Then why are you looking for him?”

No matter how much you think about it, it was not normal for the leader of the association to come forward in person.

Janet Lorix smiled bitterly at the Marquis, who narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

“These are special instructions from the commander-in-chief.”

“what?”

“By any means necessary, find and kill Third Prince Gilroshan. “Our commander-in-chief gave the order himself.”

“…!”

Janet grinned as she watched the first look of confusion appear in the other person’s eyes.

It wasn’t a lie.

“We are moving to update the former third prince’s location information in real time. “I’m sure the Marquis knows about my abilities, right?”

“I heard that you were born as a quarter elf and received the grace of the ‘Goddess of Seclusion’.”

“Yes, I am an apostle of Goddess Ymer and have the ability to track down hermits.”

The power to clearly sense the location of a designated target as it approaches.

It was a unique ability she received from the goddess Ymer, who presides over ‘seclusion’.

Guilloshan stayed in the imperial palace the entire time, then suddenly disappeared and reappeared in the Marquis de Buares.

So Janet also broke into the mansion.

The Sword Master touched his forehead.

“Tsk. After all, I wasn’t bringing in the 3rd prince. “You’re caught up in some trouble.”

“is that so? I thought maybe the Marquis could join us in our mission. How about joining hands with the revolutionary army at this time? “Aren’t you dreaming of avenging your family?”

“Stop fucking with me.”

Fox Buarez was a person plotting treason, but he was not a renegade like the Minister of Palace Affairs.

There was no thought of attacking the royal family with the help of the revolutionary army.

This was especially true if the opponent was Gilroshan.

“That’s too bad. “So are you going to kill me now?”

“No, I have no intention of doing something difficult to clean up. “I’ll forget about today and let you go, so you can quietly disappear.”

“Oh, that’s a very wise decision too.”

“But let’s just say that it would be completely unwise for a big man like you to make the move himself. And the Third Prince has long since left my mansion.”

The Marquis de Buares tried to cover everything up and move on.

But when Janet opened her mouth again, it became impossible to do so.

“Can I tell you something? “The Marquis doesn’t know.”

“what?”

“The Third Prince is back in this mansion.”

“…?”

Fox Buarez with a puzzled expression.

The leader of the Hyeopsa Dan licked his lower lip with his tongue and smiled.

“This is the second floor, right? “Then it looks like the 3rd prince is currently in the last room on the 4th floor of the mansion.”

“What kind of trick are you talking about?”

“It’s not nonsense. Is there a safe in that room where valuable items are stored? “It’s locked? He’s working hard to open it now.”

“…!”
