Anyway, let's take it first, and then decide whether to finish it or slip away quietly depending on the situation. If I don't agree now, maybe Nepos will give me a task that is difficult for me to accept, and there is even a risk of turning my face directly. On the other hand, the dragon slayer Kasemo of the Dragon's Tooth Pass provided me with the forging of the Mocenturion long mecha before, which was a great favor for me, and now because of the reason why I went out with me, I can be regarded as indirectly responsible, if this matter is within my ability, it doesn't matter if I help him.

"What ......," I asked Nebos, "where is the thief?" ”

"It's in the basement of this house."

Nepos calmly uttered an answer that surprised me. The basement of this house? Right at our feet?

"Uh...... Can you explain a little bit more clearly? Why did this burglar show up in your residence? And you seem to have accepted it, and you are not at all disgusted by the thief's deposits......"

Nepos explained to me at length: "She is an old friend of mine, and we have been doing business a lot in previous years. A few days ago, after losing contact for a long time, she found me again, hoping that I could do her a favor: cover her stealing something from the High Elves' museum and get her out safely. The guys in the fortress have never had much friendship with me, so I did something for my old friend. ”

I'll just say why there are thefts in the territory of the palace mages during the Strike Hard Period, it turns out that there are internal ghosts with a high status who are haunting. But there's nothing surprising about it, after all, the old man in front of him doesn't look like a good person in the first place, so let's continue to understand it first.

"You're asking me to get the stolen goods back from her now, meaning you're going back on now?"

"It's good that it's still too late," Nepos nodded and continued, "After listening to your mission report, I learned that dwarven things can make such a big difference. Combined with her current situation, it is certainly not easy for her to take action on what she likes. So I changed my mind and asked her to keep the stolen items. ”

The front hand just sold her personal favor, and the back hand secretly sent someone to steal the favor back, and she can become an old friend with you, she really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes. But I don't have sympathy for the unfortunate guy down there, who made her a thief? And it was the same thing that stole from the Kasemi who helped me. By the way, listen to him, the recovered stolen goods will not be returned to Casamemer, and Nepos wants to keep these possible stolen goods for himself, this old man is really cunning.

"I guess you don't want her to know that you've her, so I'm going to do it as another thief?"

"As long as you don't get me involved, you can do anything."

Nepos put on a hands-off attitude, as if he wanted me to do it alone. It's okay, since you don't need to travel far downstairs to spend time, then I'll do it. If I were to be a robber, I am afraid that few people will be able to protect their property, and then I just need to ask some more detailed questions to avoid unexpected mistakes.

"Anyway...... Why didn't she leave the city after the theft, but stayed in your house? ”

"This is the westernmost part of Skyrim, and she's a little too ostentatious. It's okay to sneak into the city with her methods, but it's a bit risky to leave the city with a batch of stolen goods. The court mage is a lord of the lord, and the lord has always disliked me, and I don't want to offend him for no reason, so I need to do it seamlessly. She has similar concerns as me, so she has chosen to stay in a safe place for now, waiting for the right time to get out of town. ”

Hehe, safe place, what an irony.

"Judging by your previous description, she's a thief with a lot of skills, and you really think I can handle her?"

"Of course," Nepos smiled confidently, "since you can own that legendary sword, a mere thief will not be your match." ”

Well, even if this old man is right, I don't think the other party is likely to be my opponent. There are no worries, and the next time is time to prepare.

"Do you have any drugs here?"

"Of course there is, but I have to warn you that she can't capsize on such a trick."

"You misunderstood, the drug is not for her, but for you."

At first, Nepos was surprised by my excesses, but he soon understood what I meant: if you want to clear your relationship from the suspicion of the man, you must pretend to be a victim.

……

I really didn't expect that Nepos would simply agree to my advice, and without any worries he and his butler and servant took the drug, as if he was not at all worried that I would take the opportunity to do something. But he really doesn't have to worry about anything, I'm actually quite upright.

After tidying up the house in Nepos as if it had been visited by thieves, I tore off a curtain and covered my face to the staircase doorway that led deep underground, and soon came into contact with the target of the mission. (To be continued......)
