Chapter 75

The light of the night.

It took the form of a luxurious ring, and even looked exactly like the one I knew.

‘… You were here at this point.’

In the third episode of the series, the lamp of the phantom appears for the first time as the property of one of the story bosses, the vampire Beatrice.

A high-level Zhugu that strengthens ties with family members and further amplifies its power.

Beatrice, who used it, showed potential enough to be called a disaster.

‘Since the effect of the shikigami is attached to it, I also use it a lot.’

To put it simply, the lamp of Hwanya was a ‘conditional fraudulent item’.

And I know how to fulfill that condition.

For me now, it was something I coveted more than any other treasure.

‘You’re going to see this here.’

The host was showing things in front of people saying that he would introduce the top-notch Jugu from the side, but I didn’t even pay attention to the lanterns of the Hwanya that were adorning the back row.

Looking at it roughly, it was not an atmosphere where he knew the value properly.

As if to make the main item stand out more, rather than that, it was placed along with other items from a distance.

“Sister. His expression is strange.”

“… … .”

I guess I was paying too much attention to it without realizing it. I hurriedly calmed my mind and moved my gaze to the other objects first.

Surely the expression of national treasure level was not an exaggeration, the three main balls introduced by the host all boasted a considerable level.

“All of these items were given to knights by the king of the previous generation, but now their owners have not been found, so we are in charge of storage by the state. One day, surely, the day will come when it will be used again for the sake of the country.”

In fact, if they are above a certain level, there are many things that require users or special conditions. Whether such a host’s words stimulated romance, a small groan was bursting out among the audience.

So, after all the viewing, we neatly left the venue.

“Oh, it was good too. That old-fashioned spiritual power that is subtly permeated. Those who haven’t seen it don’t know.”

“… only sophie No one else can see it.”

Obviously, I didn’t feel that way either. It may be a difference in feelings, or it may simply be Sophia’s personal impression.

“How about Kang Yoon? Are you okay?”

“… It wasn’t a bad experience.”

Above all, discovering the light of the wilderness was an unexpected achievement.

Actually, I didn’t care because I didn’t know where it was, but if I could get it, it was definitely one of the things I wanted to get.

Later, I even thought of hiring someone personally to look for it.

‘After all, it belongs to the state.’

It didn’t seem like they were dealing with it that much, but it was obvious that simple purchase or transfer would be impossible in this case.

In order to obtain the lamp of the wilderness, it was said that an attempt in a completely different direction was necessary.

Looking at my completely distracted face, Arietta muttered with a questionable expression.

“Junior, I tell you in advance, stealing is bad.”

“… What else are you talking about? Not like that.”

After returning to the hotel as it is, I stayed in my room and pondered over and over again.

‘If I step down now, I don’t know when there will be another chance.’

No matter how much you put your mind to it, it’s too precious to just give up like this. Thinking like that, I suddenly remembered the conversation I had with Arietta earlier.

‘… Just close your eyes and steal it?’

In the first place, it was supposed to fall into the hands of the wicked one day and ruin the world, wouldn’t it be better for me to steal it and use it for a good cause?

It was an idea that was close to self-rationalization, but to be honest, it wasn’t really wrong.

I assure you, there is probably no one who can use the light of the Hwanjae better than me, and probably no one who can put it to the right place.

It was something that suited me to that extent.

‘… … .’

After that, I thought about it for a while, but no matter how much I thought about it, the conclusion was the same.

‘I should have it too.’

I decided to steal the light of the wilderness.

***

The duration of the exhibition is 3 days. Now that the day has passed, we must see the match unconditionally within the remaining two days.

‘Of course, it would be impossible to break through the front.’

I checked yesterday too, but there were a lot of mencius men in their late 40s, even with the guards in the exhibition hall at the time.

Among them, there were those who rarely exceeded level 50, so it would be difficult to see a good one if they met.

‘To be honest, it’s not difficult to simply get things out.’

It was the same when I summoned Jeong-ha from the old Cheongga district, but the current magic system is quite outdated for me.

Of course, that wasn’t to say the level was low. However, it cannot be denied that the structure is certainly relatively simple.

‘Compared to the new magic spells, there are a lot of vulnerabilities.’

State-controlled security?

I’m sorry, but the strict security also depends on the strict security.

It is the same place where representatives of a country stay, but can the level of security of the palace of the Joseon Dynasty and the Blue House of the present time be the same?

In other words, the opponent was bad.

“come out.”

slurp.

Fuwaak!

After I brought out a black tone suitable for covert actions, I developed two different types of techniques one after another using the Inner Brain Scheme Library feature.

Whoops.

A concealment technique that blocks its own presence, and a special concealment technique that makes it undetectable by science and technology such as CCTV.

In both cases, it was a technique used by a named character named Naja, the phantom thief who appeared in the third part of the series.

Later, in the Gaiden Blitz event, there was an episode of phantom thief activity as Naja’s assistant, so naturally, the techniques used at that time were also recorded in the properties of my Inner Brain Surgery Library.

‘Of course, if you check it with the naked eye from a close range, you will be immediately noticed… … .’

That part will be covered to some extent by the characteristics of the black tone, which is good at covert activities.

First, I scouted the exhibition hall by moving the black tone before dawn.

There was Jeonghansol in the room, so I was just going out on the pretext of taking a walk.

‘… … .’

I don’t know if it’s a simple messenger role, but in reality, it’s not easy to precisely manipulate a shikigami from such a long distance.

However, as long as I have the hallucination delay, I am relatively free from that limitation.

Even if they were found out, at that time, it was enough to call in the dark tones and close their mouths.

‘… It must have been around here.’

The passageway to the special exhibition hall where the lanterns of Hwanya was located was completely blocked by a barrier, probably due to the influence of the national treasure-class huts kept in the same place.

‘Are there any gaps in the expenses?’

Those who exuded a fairly strong momentum were guarding the inside of the exhibition hall according to their set time and course.

However, as long as they are human, there are places that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

It was the outside passage, including the vent.

‘Of course, there are detection sensors and CCTVs, but… … .’

For me, who has the magic of Naja called the Great Phantom Thief, modern detection technology poses no threat at all.

After confirming, I secretly summoned Darkness.

And similarly, using the magic of the clone Holland, who appeared as Naja’s assistant in the event, he created a replica that looked exactly like the Lantern of the Wilderness.

‘… On the surface, it really looks like a goosebumps.’

The estimate came out. Execution will suffice even tomorrow night.

Closing my tired eyes, I went back to the hotel and went to sleep.

***

After two days of free time, the full-fledged event finally began.

Since it was night anyway, I also decided to participate in the event with the academy cadets without thinking first.

‘… There are a lot of people I haven’t seen before.’

As it is an international event in its own way, there are academy cadets from various countries besides us.

As a result, there were schedules to extract personnel from each academy and show off their skills, but since representatives such as Sophia and Hwang Ji-hak would come out anyway, I had nothing to do.

👌👌👌👌👌👌

Wow-!

Watching the friendly match between Sofia and the representative of the Spanish Royal Academy, I implied Arietta, who was beside me.

“Who do you think will win?”

“… Sophie without looking.”

“The reason is?”

“It’s just that there is a difference in skill.”

As expected, Arietta is also a master of battle, and as if to prove his decisive answer, the battle was concluded not long afterward.

It was Sophia’s victory.

“… At first, Sophie was not at the level of a cadet. I was surprised when I first saw it too.”

“Are you talking about someone like your senior?”

“Sophie is great. I’m sure he’ll be on the list of top exorcists in a few years.”

It was definitely a valid statement.

Although her simple growth ability itself may be overpowered by Yoo Ha-on, as a result, it is none other than Sophia who becomes the first elite exorcist among the current academy cadets.

Her talent was that special.

Anyway, exchanges continued like that, and finally the first day of the event came to an end.

The finale was a greeting from Laura de los Lucia, the current second princess of Spain, who is currently attending the Royal Academy.

“It was a great honor to have a meaningful time with you today. I hope the rest of the day will be meaningful to each other… … .”

It was a clichéd greeting, but even just hearing it, you can feel the culture and formality of royalty. He must have practiced countless times for this word.

When the princess appeared on the podium, Jeonghan-sol, who was next to me, literally turned on the lights in her eyes and spoke to me.

“Look! I thought you’d have a chance to see it. You are a real princess Oh Mr. It doesn’t look good here… … .”

Jeonghansol tried to walk through the crowd to get a closer look at her.

At that, I sighed and summoned a black voice, floated it into the sky, and connected Jeonghansol and my field of vision.

“Uh, what! Is this awesome? It can be seen very well from this street.”

For such a long time, Hansol trembled and exclaimed that the princess was pretty or noble.

I thought it would be better to get used to the real thing anyway, so I also shared my vision with the dark tone for a while.

By the way.

‘… yes?’

For some reason, her face was quite familiar.

She had platinum blonde hair that looked like light brown, and her skin was pure white. And even jewel-like eyes.

The appearance of Laura, the second princess of Spain, was exactly the same as the girl she had met two days ago on the side road of the Academy Promenade.
