chapter 35
35 – Thief (2)
I ran in the direction of the sound.
Other stuff was fine.
If I had touched the cash in my wallet, I probably wouldn’t have done this.
It’s the same with the cell phone I’m holding in my hand.
Although it was bought by Alice, I can bear it until now.
But you crossed the line.
In terms of Irisism, it is the same as stealing etheric mana.
It’s such a big sin for us early adopters.
The sound was heard in a warehouse.
I felt like I was watching a detective drama.
It was because the police lines were attached to each other.
Carefully entered the warehouse.
Leaving behind the kneeling enlisted soldiers, I headed behind Sir Abbott.
There was a large amount of cash and suspicious jewels of unknown origin hidden in the corner by concealment magic.
Of course, the Yeonhwa 2.0 I received.
Anyway, the thief does not hide it in his museum, but hides it in a place that everyone uses, called a warehouse.
It seems like he was trying to escape even if he was caught.
Typical thieves don’t try to get stolen items off their hands.
That is human psychology.
But this guy was different.
Still, Yeonhwa 2.0 Came into my hands again.
It is said that the enlisted men are also planning to retrieve the stolen goods according to the procedure.
At first glance, it was a happy ending, but
For some reason, my head thought that this incident would lead to another incident.
I end up imagining things that never happen.
Is it a coincidence that the stolen goods were found?
A.
I don’t know.
I came out of the storage room laughing at the item in my hand.
At that time, maybe because of my mood, I heard a small laugh
I rationalized that I heard nonsense and did it without knowing it.

“Sir Abote, you’ve been rude.”
“Heh heh. I’m sorry that I showed a bad side to the enlisted soldiers.”
Everything that can be experienced in the Phrygia Manor has been completed.
I was a little confused about what happened at the lake, but I’ll try to solve this later.
The moment the instructors and Sir Abote finished their greetings and were about to board the bus
I saw an enlisted soldier patrolling the area riding a motorcycle running toward us.
“Your Excellency!! Trouble! The protection magic has stopped working!!”
“What is it! Hurry up and gather the magic stones and make it work again!”
“That…That’s…”
“What’s the matter again this time!”
“The overflowing magic stones!! All disappeared.”
“You say that!!”
Sir Abote, whose blood pressure had risen to such an extent that the veins appeared in his face,
I stumbled for a moment.
By the way, I heard there was a magic stone, but it’s gone?
“That… That’s right! What happened to the emergency barrier!”
For emergency barriers used only in wartime, use B-grade or higher magic stones.
It is designed with the goal of safe operation for a long time.
A manor of this size could easily last for a week.
Maron told me from the side.
“The same goes for emergency use! The magic stone is gone!”
“Huh… I have no one to look at a million young people.”
Youngmin pays taxes in exchange for being protected by the lord.
No matter how unintentional, this is enough to be sentenced to deprivation of status.
That’s a big mistake.
“Contact the nearby estate right now and borrow the magic stone immediately!”
“Old! Your Excellency!”
A soldier with a pale face, who was about to board the motorcycle again and fly away
Sir Abote stares at you until you can’t see him.
“Lily, is there any way to get magic stones?”
“I don’t know if it’s an F or E grade, but a magic stone of good quality that can be used in a large barrier…”
Lillie rummaged through her bag on her back, rummaging through it.
Lillie’s appearance as she was looking for her by dropping each item on the ground also seemed tense.
The protection magic and barrier magic are not just magic to defend against the invasion of foreign enemies.
It can be used as a means of keeping monsters and teleport magic in check.
Now that the protection magic has stopped, it is impossible to conclude that someone who can teleport has not hidden in this territory.
‘What if this theft was a trick to steal the magic stone?”
My hamstrings are numb.
Regardless of the reasons, it was the obvious truth that all the soldiers mobilized to find my belongings.
Because of me, even the enlisted soldiers who were on guard duty at the Maseok warehouse were mobilized to conduct the investigation.
“Still, there are D-class magic stones.”
“Where did you get this? D-class…”
“Actually, I bought it yesterday to use on my sword.”
Lillie’s face turned red as she held a magic stone in one hand.
Are you ashamed?
Because it’s a magic stone… I don’t think there’s any other option than having something like this…
High quality magic stones…
Huh?
“Isn’t it okay to infuse magic into this magic stone?”
“I forgot that!”
“Ah… I guess it’s okay for a magic stone? It turns into a black holy sword.”
“Magic stones are just upgraded.”
“It’s fortunate. The Philosopher’s Stone didn’t stick out.”
What is the Philosopher’s Stone?
Alchemy is difficult, so I’ve never taken a class.
Was it a great stone that could be turned into gold in its previous life?
Anyway, I held Lillie’s magic stone in her hand and breathed her mana into it.
The magic stone that started beating like a heart
As the light came out, it took on many colors and then changed to rainbow colors.
“It’s amazing every time I see it.”
“Isn’t it? I’m curious too.”
“But can I use it in a place like this?”
“Look over there.”
The place I headed was with the confused instructors and
Boys shedding tears.
And I saw girls comforting me.
“Nobody saw it. Don’t worry.”
“Then I’m glad…”
I stroke Maron’s hair who worries about me
I headed behind Sir Abbott, who was making calls here and there.
Seeing as you’ve been making phone calls since before,
It seems that he is struggling to borrow a magic stone.
“Sir Abote, would it be all right for a moment?”
“Yes, Your Highness…”
Sir Abbote turned around, looked at my hand, and his jaw dropped wide.
Well, you can’t help but be surprised.
Because it’s an R-class Drakaras-class magic stone, a national treasure.
With this one, you can use national level protection magic and barrier magic at the same time for a thousand years.
This is enough to cover the amount of mana used nationwide for 300 years.
“This is Yeonhwa 2.0’S return. Please accept it.”
“Uh…How could His Highness do something like this…”
“Wouldn’t it be best to listen to that later, and put out the fire first?”
“Ah…Ah, of course.”
Sir Abote received the magic stone carefully with both hands.
I ran to the Yeongju Hall.
When I saw that, I smiled bitterly.
I wondered how hard a person who was so fluent in magical powers that he could fly around was running hard.
***
“Your Excellency!!”
“Get out of the way!”
Arriving at the hall on the last floor of the Yeongju Hall, Abote gasped for breath.
How embarrassing he must have been when he jumped all the way up to this point.
Even the soldiers were curious, but the curiosity did not last long.
This is because the rainbow-colored magic stone he is holding is a national treasure level item that can only be seen in the Royal Capital Museum.
I don’t know where on earth he borrowed something like that from.
Even conspiracy theories were spreading.
After catching his breath, Abote took a closer look at the magic stone in his hand.
This penetration and color.
It is definitely an R-class magic stone.
It’s not that I don’t believe in the government, but Abote is the lord of this place.
We had to thoroughly check the authenticity.
Of course, Abote, who has lived for 320,000 years, has lived through seeing many magic stones.
Not only that, he was even a demon god who defeated a mad dragon in the past and obtained an S-class magic stone himself.
But it also belonged to the elves, and was used in the source magic to establish the nation of Kritias.
‘How on earth is that child holding something like this?’
The grandson of the first queen of Yggdrasil, the ruler of the Kingdom of Kritias.
Definitely great names.
You must have grown up in abundance, and you are in a position where you can get your hands on anything.
But it is not a magic stone.
That’s also an R-class magic stone.
Abote wanted to contact Yggdrasil right away, but
First of all, the first priority is to activate the barrier magic.
And the guy who stole the magic stone must also be chased.
‘Probably the same guy did the theft that happened between the soldiers.’
Then I pressed the button on the machine that activates the barrier magic.
Depleted magic stones that were being used as fuel came out.
All the mana was sucked out, and I pulled out a gray, hot, and degenerated magic stone like an F-class magic stone with my hands.
Then, he put the R-grade magic stone that was tightly held in his hand.
-The magic stone has been recognized.-
A mechanical sound that sounds every time you change a magic stone
For some reason, it brings peace to the mind.
At least there was no problem with the safety of the young people.
No matter how forced a position is by a modern queen,
He is already a lord to the bone.
“Haa… Thank God.”
Sitting down in her place, Abote sighed heavily.
She and she thanked Yuk Zeke Hart from the bottom of her heart.
‘I even rebelled when the elders of Yggdrasil suddenly asked me to hand over the ‘Holy Grail’ to that child…’
Suddenly, I got a call
He wants to give the boy a gift.
Abote was also surprised.
No, that’s all.
It was the first historical moment to rebel against the ‘Round Table Conference’.
‘I can see why those old people care.’
It was different from their purpose of simply wanting to give a gift to a cute child, but what about it?
He justified himself and sighed once again.
