The starlight of a midsummer night peeked through the cracks in the thick curtain cloth into the inn's room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Drink, drink, puff, puff, it's over. It's been another hard day, good night. ”

I had just finished spending an unknown few hours in the hot springs, brushing my teeth on the balcony and saying goodnight to myself after a long day, while buttoning up the comfortable pajamas I had bought in the shopping street two days ago.

Tomorrow's trip is to sleep until noon, get up for lunch, and then continue to Rixel to hang out until the evening.

It's going to be hard, so you have to keep your mind and body up to deal with it with all your might.

A good fighter needs to be at his best at all times.

Although most of the undead do not need to sleep to recover their mental energy, after all, they will not be sleepy, so they will generally resort to such means as staying in a dark place to regain their spirits, but this does not mean that the undead cannot sleep.

For me personally, just putting on an eye patch and lying in bed and thinking about nothing is sleeping.

On the way back to his room......

"Alice, I'm going back to my room to sleep. You drink so much juice during the day, remember to go to the toilet before going to bed, today Ah Shu is not here, if I am afraid of the dark in the middle of the night and ask me to get up to accompany you to the toilet, I will not agree. ”

As I was about to go back to my room to sleep, I reminded Alice, who was lying on the sofa at ease.

Then, the werewolf Lori said with an unhappy disgust.

"Hmm, Alice won't be like that, but Uncle Bone, your living habits are so strange that you should pay attention!"

"Oh, young people nowadays are really impetuous, and when you grow up, you will experience the trouble of not having good living habits. You'll be rolling on the floor with tooth decay, but I'll just laugh at you while eating the candy. ”

"Go to sleep, you!"

After puffing her face away, Alice didn't seem to be going to pay any attention to me.

Since Paul seemed to be in the middle of the tryouts for the past two days, it was a hassle to go back to the hotel on the outskirts of the city every day, so he and Ah Shu decided to find a random place to stay in the city for two days.

Originally, we were supposed to work together as a group, but I unilaterally decided to stay here.

On the one hand, it's because of the natural hot springs.

On the other hand, during Ah Shu's temporary absence, I was not ready to talk about making money, so it was easier for me to avoid her and deal with the details of the settlement of the contract with Balder.

After all the bedtime preparations, I lay down on the bed and put on my eye patch, and then pulled the quilt and wrapped it into a ball and fell asleep......

"Boss Essioin!, Boss Essioin, open the door!"

…… One second ago, I was woken up.

At the moment when I was about to shrink into the quilt, I was hindered and yelled after covering my head with the quilt.

"Don't disturb other people's rest at night!So I've told you to go to the toilet before going to bed, it's useless to say anything now! The toilet is not dark or far at the end of the corridor, Nia you let Alice accompany you!"

"...... toilet? No, it's not that urgent! It's Brother Soquet, Brother Sokett has something to look for you!"

After a short pause, Nia's voice of dissatisfaction came from the living room.

Hearing Nia's words, I couldn't help but turn my head to look out the window at the rich moonlight that was pouring in.

…… Sokate, who is in charge of the task of connecting the Matt thieves with us, came to us in the dead of night in such a dead of night, and there is no need to think about it to know that if you get up now, you won't be able to sleep tonight.

So, I buried my head in the quilt again.

"Tell him to come back tomorrow, I'm going to sleep now! Got it, my working hours are from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon!"

"You-!!"

Nya's tone was a little angry when I said this, and then there seemed to be footsteps leaving the door.

"Ahh Obviously calling others, doing nothing all day and saying that he seems to be very busy, the person who is the boss of Ai Xiuin is really too bad!"

"Don't worry, Alice always thought that Uncle Bones would become such a waste one day. ”

Two peers who have recently become acquainted seem to be saying very rude things in the living room.

It seems that Nia is planning to turn to the werewolf Lori for help.

But she's definitely looking for the wrong person, and Alice, who has been crazy about taking my favors lately, has a tendency to become my dogleg.

Just when I felt like I was about to go back to sleep.

"Well, don't worry, Nia. Well, Alice knows that Uncle Bone recently went to a small alley in the shopping street to buy a lot of literature-like things when he was secretly breaking us off, and Uncle Bone hid them in the hotel......"

"Hey, don't go on, I know, I'll get up!"

I was about to collapse in the mattress, and I hurriedly opened the door to stop the werewolf Lori from saying what she was about to say.

- After spending some time gagging Alice, the half-orc boy Sockey said with a tired face.

"That's the latest investigation, Lord Esthein. ”

Next, place a document full of dense information on the coffee table in the center of the living room.

"Your Excellency Esher, you probably all know, because of the recent uproar in the city lord election in Rixel, the difficulty of investigating information has increased greatly, so these are all the information that the thieves can get in a short period of time. ”

Judging from the thick dark circles under his eyes, it is estimated that this document really took a lot of effort to come out.

"Since I'm so tired, it might be better to get some sleep and come back. ”

"You laughed at Your Excellency Essien, just stay up late for a few days to get the status of deputy head of the regiment. For a half-orc of weak blood, who has a low status in the Thieves Regiment, it is really unthinkable, and I can only thank you in this way. ”

Ignoring my joking tease, a satisfied smile appeared on Sokite's pale face.

Since he wants to, it doesn't matter.

"Let's see, there are a total of five locations that are suspected of having sealed items, and each one has a detailed reason...... Although it's much better than having no clue before, there is really no way to investigate them one by one with so many locations. ”

Sitting in the chair across from Soquet, I picked up the papers on the coffee table and read them one by one.

Since Ah Shu is not there, it can only be reviewed by me.

“…… The badge of the Hero King? This is a local legend of Rixel, whether it is a rumor or a historical event. Yes, this would undoubtedly be much more credible, but it's a nuisance that the candidates are all inconvenient places to investigate. ”

"Ah, that's right, Your Excellency Esthein. Behind these places are forces that are difficult for our thieves to get involved into. ”

I commented in passing while looking at the file, and Sokite replied as well.

Judging from the information recorded, it is estimated that many of the documents that even I did not expect were indeed very thoughtful, worthy of a thief group that has been in the local area for many years, and if I were to be blindly commanded, it would definitely not have such an effect.

But the problem is that many of the locations recorded in it are not convenient for unofficial forces like us to investigate.

The underground of Central Heroes' Square is barely enough.

But the Treasure Room of the City Lord's Mansion, which has the highest possibility, and the Aerial Law Hall, which only opens when the Nexel Council is in session, are not places we can sneak into.

It was much more difficult to break the seal than expected......
