As I expected, there were no patrols in the manor where the lord lived. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, judging by the content of the radio that constantly sounds, the security of the city is now in dire straits.

Every once in a while, a notification similar to [Request for Reinforcements] will be issued. It is estimated that not to mention the idle people now, maybe a large number of guards who were originally on duty in the City Lord's Mansion were also transferred and teleported away.

-- We took advantage of the chaos to move towards the interior of the manor.

"Now, Uncle Bone, can I walk through the ceiling? ”

"It's not an undead fortress, and who knows if there's any detection magic on the ceiling or something. Let's just make a quick decision, and if we find the treasure house, we can use teleportation magic to run away, so be patient a little. ”

As I said this, I used my soul to observe the nearby route, and when it was safe to do so, I waved Alice to follow.

To do it, you have to be professional, and now we are just nameless thieves.

Occasionally, you can see inferior undead in staff clothes or maid costumes, probably some servants or something.

After successfully using the curse to put the hapless vampire unconscious, I switched into his standard light armor. Then he took the opportunity to kill the inferior undead who seemed to be a gardener, and after finding the mission costume for Alice, he carefully explored the house.

I was surprised how smoothly things went, and hopefully it will continue forever.

I led the way down an empty hallway.

The direction of progress is specified by Alice, who, according to herself, seems to possess [the sense of smell that can smell treasures].

Although I want to complain about why she has such strange skills.

But when we first met, she seemed to have asked me if I was a villain who wanted to rob the treasure, and judging from the fact that their clan seemed to be the guardians of the former King of the Undead, it seemed that she was not bragging to smell the treasure......

At regular intervals she would stop and sniff around before pointing in the right direction.

Although it seems to be casually pointed, looking at her serious expression, things are done with a hint of professionalism.

"Sniff, sniff. Alice smells it!"

"Oh, that's good, Alice. Sure enough, you can still do it when you should do it, and in order to steal the contents of the treasure vault, I specially prepared a space ring with a larger capacity. So what do you smell? Is it the smell of gold coins or the smell of valuable treasures?"

"Hmph, it's not that simple. I smell the food!"

Seeing Alice squint proudly and say something like that, I slapped her on the back of the head wordlessly.

"Whew, it hurts. It's not Uncle Bones that you asked me to find a precious treasure, so what are you doing now, obviously Alice has worked so hard, what do you want to do!"

"I'm trying in the wrong direction, who told you to find something to eat!"

Alice, who had received a knife in her hand, clutched her head in pain and turned to glare at me.

Looking at Alice, who was full of resentment and temper, I decided to pull her into the shadows in the corner for a short meeting.

"Listen Alice, we're risking our lives ...... enemy right now!wait, you don't think you're going to take food as a treasure...... It may be a superfluous move, but let me ask, are we heading towards the treasure trove now......?"

Hearing me say this, Alice shrugged her shoulders and sighed helplessly, with an expression that she didn't know what you were talking about.

And then--

"Uncle Bone, what are you talking about? It's so chaotic right now, and if you go to the treasure house, you'll meet a lot of guards, but we haven't seen a single one of them now, so of course we're heading towards the kitchen. ”

With a proud face, he said this kind of line that made a lot of sense, but it really made people want to leave her where she was and run away by herself.

I combined my right hand again into a hand knife shape and raised it.

"Wait, Uncle Bone, don't be angry first, listen to my explanation first!"

Seeing that I was getting more and more proficient in the hand-knife starting style because of these teammates, it is estimated that Alice, who had learned that if she didn't do something, she would suffer a loss, changed her relaxed attitude, and quickly waved her hand to stop and made an expression that wanted to explain.

Looks like she has something to say......

"Look, Uncle Bone, did you secretly say this to me before: [There is little hope that we will be able to find the location of the seal in one go. And this time, in the name of finding the sealing place, we can ask Ah Shu to cover for us. There aren't many opportunities like this, so Alice, listen up, it doesn't matter if we can find the sealing location this time, we will divide it into seven or three, and we have to make as much money as possible!"

"Well, that's true, but what does this have to do with now......

I guess it was my puzzlement that made her a little proud, and after sneakily observing the neighborhood, Alice said mysteriously again.

"And then, Alice smelled it. There's a lot of gold in the direction there, but there's also a lot of undead breath. So the treasure trove that everyone is talking about should be over there, right? ”

As she said that, she pointed in the exact opposite direction to us.

I see.

I'll just say how I can't see the guards of the City Lord's Mansion at all, it turns out that it's not because there is too much chaos that no one is on duty, but the chaos has concentrated the garrison forces in the treasure house, and there will be no figure in the opposite direction we are going.

If it is only from the point of view of avoiding danger, it is true that this choice should be made, but ......

"Then what's the point of you bringing me here――――――!"

"Uh-huh, ahhh But Su, Uncle Su, listen to me, the treasure vault over there may be a fake!"

…… What do you mean, fake treasure trove?

Feeling as if there was something hidden, I let go of Alice's cheek, which was being twisted, and asked her to continue.

"Really, at least listen to what I'm saying before reacting. ”

While rubbing her slightly red cheeks, the werewolf Lori looked over with resentful eyes and continued to speak.

"Uncle Bone, you know it too, don't you have that kind of legend? Although Alice has never seen it, it is common for rich people to repair a fake treasure vault and have people keep it watched, and then put the real treasure vault in an inconspicuous place. ”

Ooh.

No, but it's just a lot in stories, is it really someone who does it in reality?

"And then, Alice smelled it. In a place where the smell of food is strong, it is probably the kitchen here. Although it is well hidden, the talent of the Moon Wolf Clan tells me that there are definitely a lot of valuable treasures hidden in the underground over there!"

After saying this, Alice seemed to raise her head slightly, as if she was convinced and proud of this discovery.

But......

"You can smell things underground, is your sense of smell so strong?"

"It's not the sense of smell, if I have to say it, it's probably something like intuition...... Hmm, Uncle Bone, why do you have such a skeptical expression! Do you think I'm talking casually, seriously!"

Regardless of whether it's true or not, it sounds reasonable.

In short, it's the kind of fake target that is deliberately targeted by thieves, and if it has existed for an unknown number of years, it is indeed not uncommon to do this to this extent.

And if there is a head-on conflict, it is estimated that it will be difficult for us to break through the remaining guards head-on.

The treasure vault guarded by the guards was a fake, but the real valuable things were kept in the kitchen, where countless people passed by every day, and if it were just ordinary thieves, no one would have thought that the real treasure was located in such an inconspicuous place.

Is the most dangerous place also the safest place......

Worst.

If I could do this like a real adventurer, I would feel like I was going to become a thief's legend!
