Chapter 113 - Stagnant Water Puddle (6)

‘I can’t believe he is acting so outrageous in a joint mission.’

He had left behind Leseti and Deyus.He allowed them to move independently.Afterwards, he infiltrated the Zero Class area.He continued to grumble as he moved from one shadow to another.

As he approached level 220, he continued to train as a thief.He was able to sense all life and Mana within a limited region.He also learned how to avoid detection of others.It was as Artpe had said.He possessed genius level talent towards thief-related abilities.

‘He trusted in my abilities, and that is why he supported me.Did he do all of this, because he knew this day would come…..’

When he thought about it, it was very suspicious.Silpennon frowned.Even as his mind struggled over this problem, there was no adverse effects to the body.He continued to move quickly as he avoided the Mana Net that filled the whole area.He was able to easily get past the traps as he approached Artpe’s lodging.

‘I should head over to the room he told me about.’

He had received maps with locations of Dungeons from Artpe.As he methodically cleared the Dungeons, he was able to train his thief skills for two years.He had a basic plan of action on how he should act in an unknown territory.

We wasn’t a warrior that was wearing an invincible armor.He wasn’t a magician that possessed powerful magic.If he was asked to fight enemies head on or destroy a building in its entirety, it was beyond his ability.

It didn’t matter if it was a Dungeon or a ruin.He infiltrated them first to make sure that his safety was assured.

He slowly crawled through a region like a spider as he expanded his knowledge of a region.When he gathered all the information, he seized his target.He did this last.It allowed him to cleanly escape after acquiring his target.This was Silpennon’s mindset as a thief.

‘There really is a damn fine mesh of magical energy interwoven in this place.It would have taken me a long time to analyze this place.How did Artpe manage to twist the structure of this place?’

He used his quick feet to safely avoid several secret traps, and he was able to enter into the residential area.He was able to read the signature of the people moving within.He moved quickly and stealthily as he avoided coming across them.He reached the room pointed out by Artpe.

No.In truth, there was another room that worried him before he reached Artpe’s room.

‘I don’t know why that room has a Yes sign on the door, but I feel an incredible amount of Mana within.’

Did he perhaps need to seduce the person within the room?Did he have to do it for the prosperity of Paladia and the advancement of the hero’s party?If so, he could accept doing such a task.Since she was this talented, he could understand why she wanted to enter into the hero’s party using whatever method within her means.The only problem was the fact that he had to seduce her.

‘I’m sure her appearance is perfect, but her personality is probably terrible.That bastard, Artpe.He keeps an angel like Maetel by his side, yet he wants me to…..Ah ah ah.I don’t care.I want to rest first.’

Silpennon let out a sigh as he grabbed the door to the room.He used a specialized thief skill called ‘Quiet Infiltration.He disabled the alarm and observation type magic as he picked the lock.He opened the door.He was able to do everything without making a sound..

There was one girl inside.

“Uh······.”

“Ah······.”

Both of them were at a loss for words at the unexpected situation.She wore a headpiece and a plain apron.She wore loose one piece dress that was comfortable to move in.No matter how he saw it, she had the appearance of a servant.A thought came to him as he looked at the girl.

‘With your skills, you won’t be discovered by the servants.’

Ah ah.That’s right.Artpe clearly said those words, yet Silpenon let Artpe’s words go in one ear and out the other.Silpennon had every reason to be ashamed.

He really didn’t expect to be found out by a maid!

“W…..who….who are you?”

He wore a sword strapped to his body.He also wore a tight black suit, and a black hood covering his face.Silpennon looked entirely suspicious.The maid looked ready to cry as she asked her question.She had assumed he would kill her if she let out a scream.That was why she was keeping her voice low, and he was thankful for it.

“First······I’m not a bad person.”

“Liar!”

Silpennon spoke as he closed the door.He acted as if nothing was wrong.The maid loudly refuted his words.Silpennon let out a bitter laugh.

“If you follow my words, you won’t die.I’ll try to find a happy outcome for the both of us.”

“Hoo-hoohk.How were you able to enter into the Zero Class?I was expecting to meet the hero-nim.Instead I met a thief…..”

Silpennon wondered if he should tell her that he was able to come into this place thanks to the hero.However, he decided to hold that information back for now.First, he closed the window, then he looked at the girl as he sat on the bed.

“Hmmm······.”

“Hee, heek.”

She looked plain, but she wasn’t a pumpkin.She actually had clean and bright skin.Her eyes were large and clear.If she was made-up, she would look quite pretty.

However, her appearance wasn’t what was important right now…..It was the fact that her presence was very faint.

“How come you weren’t detected by my senses?I was sure this room was empty.”

“It started from when I was young…..I heard similar words about me from others.That is why my father said I was suited to become a maid in the Zero Class……...”

“It isn’t just faint.I think it’s an ability.”

“I was able to meet a thief thanks to this ability.Hoo-eeeeeee.”

It seemed the girl was overwhelmed by her fear, so she finally started to cry.Did this girl really think he was going to kill her?It seemed she had an innocent personality befitting a maid of Paladia.A smile came unbidden to his mouth.

“Stop crying.I won’t kill you.”

“Hoo-ggoo-oooh.Really?”

“Yes, I won’t if you heed my words.”

The thoughts within Silpennon’s head became complicated, since his plans were starting to go sideways.Still, he wasn’t someone that would kill a person to uncomplicate a situation.

Anyways, Silpennon had planned on resting in this room for a little bit.He was going to recover his Mana as he checked what was going on nearby.Instead, he decided to cajole information out of her.

“You should let go of your cleaning supplies for now.”

“The hero-nim might enter this room at any moment, so I have to clean it…...”

“Let it go.”

“Yes, sir.”

The maid quickly let go of her cleaning supply, and she approached him. When he made sure no one else was approaching Silpennon’s domain, he took off his hood.He revealed his face.If he wanted to communicate with her, he would have to get rid of attire that was causing the fear within her.

“Ah······.”

“What?Are you surprised, because I’m too young?”
