How To Live as a Scammer in the Game

35. I think I picked the wrong job

St. Traval was a bigger city than I thought.

Some of the places I visited earlier felt bigger, perhaps because they were small cities or slums.

anyway.

Through Levarsen, I was able to hear more about what is happening in Saint Traval.

Levarsen and I sat in a suitable place pretending to be travelers, sipping our drinks.

“Not long ago, a piece of information came in from the contact of the Order. It was said that the devil’s goods were circulating in the upper classes of St. Traval.”

“The devil’s stuff?”

“It’s not known exactly what form it is. However, the effects were roughly revealed, such as strengthening one’s strength or rapidly improving one’s brain. It was said that it had a good effect.”

“There must have been quite a few people who wanted it.”

“That’s right. It was more of a problem that there was a lot of demand. That’s why we fell into trouble. This Kingdom of Baltras was completely meritorious. A city where weak people are culled, and stupid people are eaten.”

It was said that the kingdom of Baltras had greatly developed thanks to that competitive climate.

In fact, it was difficult to find a country as advanced as the Baltras Kingdom even for alchemists.

However, there are always side effects.

Because it was a highly competitive society, even if you were in a high position, you always had to tremble with anxiety.

As a result, it seemed that the demonic power spread easily.

“There are many who want to be superior to others even by selling their souls to the devil, without realizing how great a risk that is.”

I looked around Saint Traval while listening to Levarsen’s words.

From the outside, it didn’t look much different from other cities, but after hearing her words, it seemed like I could see the dark shadows under the city.

“That’s how I started tracking down the mysterious object. I didn’t know the shape or what kind of power it had, so I was at a loss, but I accidentally found out the name Viscount Morden. There was no way to get any more information in St. Traval, so I It’s headed for Oryton.”

“And were you caught?”

“Well, rather than being caught, I went in on purpose. But I was embarrassed because the dungeon was built better than I thought.”

That’s why you were locked up in that dungeon.

Some doubts have been cleared.

“Still, I wasn’t without income at all. I found these things.”

Levarsen took out a letter from his bosom and showed it.

“I got information that their powers are similar to brainwashing. It seems to be magic that raises potential through brainwashing.”

But it was oddly familiar.

Even as Levarsen explained, I kept my eyes fixed on the letter.

‘That… I’m sure I saw it somewhere… Ah!’

I also took out a letter from my bosom.

Surprisingly, the envelopes of both letters were exactly the same.

Levarsen must have realized that as well, and asked me with an unusual expression on his face.

“Isn’t it the same? Where did you find this…?”

“On the way to Gilad, I caught a suspicious guy. I found it from him.”

“The suspicious guy? Then who is he?”

“Dead. Just before being captured, he turned himself into powder.”

“Hmm. I know what it is. I’ve seen something like that before.”

Having received my letter, Levarsen examined it carefully.

I asked her

“Do you know whose it belongs to?”

But she shook her head.

“No. I was investigating. I was blocked here. I was attacked while looking for the owner of this letter. So I ran away. Gilad. Once Gilad is hidden, it’s hard to find.”

“You didn’t come to see me.”

Lebarsen confirmed.

“I knew you were there…but I don’t know who you are?”

but.

If you trusted me and came to visit me, you wouldn’t have been so suspicious when we first talked.

Perhaps Lebarsen would have gone to that house even if I hadn’t been there.

‘Well, let’s go. So, did the original story flow?’

Even if I wasn’t there, Levarsen hid himself in Romain’s house.

Perhaps Romain saved her by using a potion.

It seemed that the potion was meant to be used on Lebarsen anyway.

‘It’s just that I became the one who gave that favor, not Romain.’

Then it was rather beneficial.

I used the potion that was originally used for her, and I got the favor.

when I was thinking like that.

Levarsen’s eyes suddenly turned sharp.

She lowered her head and pointed at someone with her chin.

“I was talking about the author. I was suddenly attacked while chasing him to find out the source of the correspondence.”

I, too, didn’t show any signs, only slightly averted my eyes.

But it seemed that Lebarsen would have noticed even if he hadn’t told her.

“You are the devil’s servant.”

It had a distinct smell, so it was easy to spot.

Hearing my words, Levarsen was taken aback.

“As expected… no, but. Why do you know?”

I stood up from my seat with a small smile.

“There’s not enough training. Let’s talk about this, let’s go after him first.”

Levarsen muttered as he stood up along with a blank face.

“With training…is that possible? Just looking at your face to figure it out?…”

* * *

The sun was slowly going down.

“Is it okay if I don’t tell my friend Diaz?”

It happened so suddenly that Diaz was not present.

It was because she was moving to find a place to stay.

It happened in between, so there was no time to bring it up.

Still, there was nothing to worry about.

“She’s good enough, too.”

“Hmm. Trust is great.”

“To be honest, we’re in more danger than Diaz.”

“That’s right. And besides, it seems like they’re chasing me so carelessly. Didn’t I tell you earlier that I was ambushed while doing this?”

I shook my head at Levarsen’s concern.

Right now, I was concentrating all my energy on my third eye.

Even so, there was no movement that caught my radar net.

Besides, if it’s a demon, it’ll smell before that.

“There is no ambush yet.”

“Umm. Didn’t you expect that I would be back?”

It seemed very likely.

That’s because Levarsen’s wounds were deep.

Thanks to that, we were able to quietly follow him.

So, that’s where we got to…

“Cemetry?”

After wandering all over the place, they eventually arrived at a large cemetery located on the outskirts of the city.

I looked at Levarsen.

However, she only shrugged.

“This is the first time I’ve been chasing this far.”

We decided to step back a little bit and watch.

The minions continued to go deep.

At the end, what we faced was a small cabin.

Lebarsen informed me.

“That’s…the gravekeeper’s residence…”

“Do you have any clues?”

“No. Actually, that gravekeeper. He said he was accused of murder elsewhere. There was information that he was released because there was no evidence and that he was a gravekeeper here…”

After chasing the devil’s minions, what came out was the killer gravekeeper…

Something felt strange.

“I’ll have to get a little closer.”

“Well.”

I held my breath and slowly took one step towards the hut.

The closer we got, the more nervous we became.

Finally we squeezed ourselves under the window of the cabin.

I listened inwardly.

There seemed to be some conversation going on inside…but I couldn’t hear it in detail.

At that time, I was thinking about how to understand their conversation.

still……

Suddenly, all sounds disappeared for a moment.

Levarsen seemed to feel that too.

Reluctantly, I lifted my head slightly and looked inside.

But, is there really no one inside?

Levarsen, who was examining my face, also raised his head and looked inside.

But, of course, she couldn’t see anyone.

A decision had to be made here.

don’t back down now

Or did you go inside at all?

He said he had come without any preparations, but he still had his weapons well prepared.

If I had to ask, would it be without Diaz?

‘If it’s just the two of them… I’m sure they can stop it even without Diaz.’

Instead, there is Levarsen next to me now.

Besides, there was another reason why I couldn’t back down.

‘If I stop what’s happening here… I think the Great Invasion could be delayed.’

It was strangely certain.

Is it a sense created by the third eye?

I’m not sure, but I thought that I would regret it if I missed this timing.

So, I slowly opened my mouth.

“If you’re going to fall out, get out now. I intend to go in.”

* * *

profit.

I carefully opened the door and entered the cabin.

Lebarsen followed me behind me.

Levarsen, who had been told that I was going in, smiled, saying that he was contemplating what to do if the word didn’t come out.

We stepped inside like that.

I definitely felt something was wrong.

“There’s really no sign. There’s no other door other than the one we entered.”

Even the window was the only place where Levarsen and I had been.

Did it go up into the sky or go down to the ground?

The answer should be in this.

In fact, I had no idea where to start looking.

Where would you go through something like this?

Even so, there was a corner to believe.

‘Anyway, Lebarsen’s class is a thief.’

Read at readwn.com

Just as expected.

Her eyes were already different.

Does the appearance of being active in a professional field really explode with coolness?

‘Surely, that’s stealing, so it’s a problem…’

I never thought the day would come when I saw stealing and thought it was cool.

It seemed that the saying that I don’t know people’s work was really right.

‘But this isn’t just stealing me, it’s because I’m asking you to do something good like an angel girl somewhere.’

The time when I was staring at Levarsen’s back.

She asked with her back turned.

“Why? What can I say?”

……Awesome.

Do you have eyes on the back of your head?

How did know?

If it wasn’t for the third eye, I thought that I would never have followed Lebarsen just with my pure senses.

Feeling embarrassed for nothing, I started looking around the room again.

By the way.

As I glanced over, something strange entered my field of vision.

‘This……I’ve seen it in a lot of movies…?’

I tilted my head and approached the hanging hanger.

Then he called Levarsen.

“Here. I think there’s something strange.”

At the sound of my voice, she glanced back.

“Did you find anything?”

Levarsen came to me.

I pointed to a stand-up hanger.

“Here. Isn’t that a bit strange?”

“……Well, I don’t know.”

At my question, Levarsen frowned.

Seriously, I didn’t seem to understand what was wrong.

“It seems like the paint is peeling off only on this branch.”

I gently tug on the branch.

Then the next moment.

rattle! Deed……

A door that hadn’t existed before appeared on the wall.

Seeing the scene, Levarsen’s mouth fell open.

She must have been quite surprised as she looked back and forth between me and the hidden door.

“I think I picked the wrong class… not a paladin, but a thief…”

“what?”

“Oh, no. Hope you haven’t heard.”

“It’s bland.”

I tilted my head and stepped through the new door.
