Faith Life of a Former Scammer
Chapter 178
178. just light
Before returning, I heard so many stories from Grandma.
The story of the old woman who was cursed with eternity and lived for a long time was as exciting as if it were made up.
“Lion.”
“why. Shall we bring you another snack?”
“Am I a pig!? Okay, have you heard of the legendary Kaido?”
“Five! What is it? Does it already smell funny?”
“Then, come and have a snack. I will do it if it tastes good.”
“ah. While enjoying snacks!”
It was an interesting story to Leon, but to the grandmother it was a complaint of the years. At least, when Rion wasn’t there, he complained to no one else.
So, when Grandma tried to talk about the old days, Leon always pretended to be interested, and Grandma knew it but pretended not to.
“The reason he earned the title of legendary phantom thief was because he robbed the imperial palace.”
While Leon was making snacks, she started talking.
“The imperial palace? The Imperial Palace of the Empire now?”
“okay.”
“Yeah. Aren’t you kidding? What did you steal?”
“That was a masterpiece. I didn’t steal anything, I just left one card behind. The current imperial palace security system was created because of that thief.”
If he had the ability to quietly invade the imperial palace, he deserved the word ‘legendary’.
“a. What is it? If you entered the imperial palace, you should have packed yourselves.”
“What kind of romance do you have? Just the card! Is that cool?”
At that, Leon looked at her suspiciously.
“Are you sure there was a legendary thief? Going into the imperial palace and only cards? This is not it.”
“I saw it! Were you drinking together?”
She said she saw it, but Leone didn’t let go of her suspicions.
“Really? What about the evidence?”
“Zu, evidence?”
“Yes. Well, there are things you need to meet to know.”
“Woman! The legendary thief was a woman!”
Rion’s suspicious expression became serious, and she asked a serious question.
“pretty?”
“Hey! burn! okay. pretty! pretty! She is as pretty as me!”
She tossed the wooden cup with the drink in it.
thud!
It was a shame because Leon had avoided it.
“Just looking at her, she was prettier than my grandmother.”
“What!?”
“ah. Why are you pouting again?”
“Are you pouting? This is what I mean by anger!”
thud!
This time, I threw Leon’s drinking glass away.
“Oh okay. Have you been to a phantom thief treasure house? I’m really curious about this.”
“I’ve been there, but I’m not talking!”
“You’re not doing this here? The most important thing!?”
“Make snacks, you burn!”
Before returning, a page of memories.
The reason why I suddenly recalled the memories that only Leon remembers now was because of the mission given to me by the dark side after eating the seeds.
<Special Mission>
<Exploring the treasure house of the one called the legendary thief.>
This wasn’t just a mission.
<Are you okay?>
“Then, there is no reason not to be okay.”
<… … You are really Oren. Aren’t you swept away?>
“To say it wasn’t swept away, it’s not in very good shape.”
<You’re saying that because you don’t know how great this is. You seem to have kept your ego perfectly.>
Things that can change even the ego.
It was understandable that the dark guy hated seeds.
“I can’t be sure that there will be no impact at all.”
<The fact that such a judgment is possible means that it is okay. To be honest, I respect it.>
“I became a father. What is this mission?”
<Ah, you’ve already seen it. I’m really sorry. I should have stopped it, but I couldn’t stop it because someone so high up pushed it.>
Judging by his reaction, it seemed that someone didn’t like Oren.
“Are you saying that there are people who ate the seeds but still don’t believe them?”
<Yes. They say you’re unlucky.>
It seemed that someone with special authority was in the upper echelons.
Of course, this level of preparation had already been done.
“You must have noticed that I threatened your position.”
It had already revealed its ambitions.
That ominousness had a lot of room for interpretation in different directions. So here comes the mission.
“What about this mission?”
<This mission was judged impossible to clear.>
“I can’t clear it… … It’s fun.”
I didn’t mean that the mission itself was fun.
<Are you sure you noticed?>
“You wouldn’t have pushed me away just because you ate the seeds, saying it was bad, so you would have taken the risk.”
The situation was going well thanks to the guy who said it was sinister.
<Exactly. I was worried that the seed might have rusted his head, but he seems to be fine.>
“If I succeed, something interesting will happen.”
<Yes. You’ll be able to get your hands on a higher grade than before.>
There were clues on this side, so it wasn’t an impossible mission.
“What should I look for there?”
<When you get there, the seeds will tell you.>
seeds? A question popped into his mind, but Oren answered casually.
“i get it. I will find it and contact you.”
<Yes. I’ll be waiting for you.>
If you follow this mission, you will get a glimpse of their plans.
Leon went straight to the grandmother’s room.
* * *
After explaining to the grandmother how things were going, I got to the point.
“Grandma. Have you ever heard of the legendary thief?”
“… … I, the legendary thief?”
“yes. It’s related to the mission that I put out there. I know a few things, but not as much as Grandma.”
“… … Do you know anything?”
It hadn’t been a long time since I’d seen such a flustered grandmother.
“Yes. Nothing special, I know a few things.”
“Uh, which one?”
It was clear that he was taken aback by the fact that even his voice was trembling.
“That he is someone who knows the romance of entering the imperial palace and not stealing anything, just leaving a card behind.”
“cadet. It’s romance.”
“And pretty? I heard you are as pretty as your grandmother.”
“… … .”
Soon, his face turned red.
Her reaction was somehow odd.
It was as if someone had heard something shameful.
‘no way!?’
When Rion looked at the old woman with an enlightened face, the old woman covered her face with both hands.
“Please don’t say you noticed.”
“… … I was looking for it right in front of me.”
Grandma was a ‘legendary thief’.
I knew I had blown one shot during my active career, but I never imagined that it would be to this extent.
“I-I am not! It’s a different person!”
Like a person who had a dark history, she shouted that it was not the grandmother, but the more she did, the more her confidence increased.
“When you’re young, everyone at least once… … .”
Leon was trying to comfort you.
“So, are you saying you’re old now?”
Rather, it stimulated her.
“no. It’s not… … .”
“Did I tell you? that’s not me He is officially dead.”
He had an angry expression on his face, but behind that expression was a deep sense of shame.
I didn’t have to dig in.
“Yes. It seems I was mistaken. First of all, what do you know?”
“yes. Right.”
When Leon took a step back, she took a step back too.
“Location of the treasure house, have you ever heard of it?”
“… … Are you there?”
“Yes. I have something to look for there.”
“You don’t seem to know what you’re looking for?”
“Yes. They say the seeds will tell you, but I guess you have to go.”
She thought for a moment, then opened her mouth.
“I don’t know if it’s someone else, but I think I can show it to Leon.”
To those words that were somehow meaningful, Leon asked involuntarily.
“Yes?”
“You said it was a treasure house, but you can just see it as a warehouse. Shall we go?”
“Now?”
“Yes. That warehouse is here, in Killica.”
The location of the treasure house was Killika.
However, this didn’t make sense.
Even before returning, Rion managed Killika. He knew the city inside out.
Is there a place that Leon doesn’t know about? I couldn’t even imagine.
“This is the first time Leone visits besides me. It’s a little embarrassing.”
She held out her hand.
“Catch it. I will guide you.”
holding hands and guiding
It didn’t seem to go the usual way.
Leon took her outstretched hand.
“Then, let’s go. Leave everything to me.”
I took her by the hand and left the room.
The place she went with her like that was not outside the mansion. He started to walk all over the house.
Again, it was not a common method as Leon thought.
‘The mansion can’t be this big?’
It seemed that this place was a mansion and not a mansion. There were no people around, and the size of the inside was different from the size of the mansion I had known before.
“Hey Siri, can you feel anything?”
[No special energy found.]
If so, it meant that it was the grandmother’s unique ability.
‘Hey Siri. Try using the bond of faith.’
Siri moved immediately at Leon’s instructions.
[The bond of faith. We share the power of one person.]
[Rental skill: You have acquired the eyes of the soul.]
[Rental Skill: Spirit Eyes are activated.]
It was only when the Spirit’s Eye was activated that I could see what had happened.
[The Soul Labyrinth has been discovered.]
It was a maze made with grandmother’s ability.
Actually, this was inside the mansion.
However, it is only invisible thanks to the maze made by the grandmother.
‘Hey Siri. If I destroyed the mansion, would this space be revealed?’
[It must have collapsed as the maze was broken.]
‘This is why I couldn’t find it even before returning.’
While talking to Ciri, Leon and Granny arrived at a certain door.
It was too old a door to be called a mansion door.
“Here it is. Shall we go in?”
Sigh.
As if boasting that it was old, the door opened, finally revealing the treasure house.
* * *
Contrary to the grandiose name, there was nothing that could be called a treasure inside.
“You’re not disappointed because there’s no treasure, are you?”
She asked Leon if he was concerned.
“Are there treasures everywhere?”
Gold and silver are not the only treasures.
“Yes?”
“The thing here… … Aren’t they all old memories of Grandma?”
“… … How did you know?”
“I can see it just by looking at it?”
I knew it because there were objects from the stories I heard before returning.
Of course, there were many other clues.
A wide range of time zones, from old things to recently made things.
Items with signs of use.
Even a short record left in one line.
This large warehouse was a trace of her life, a memory, and a history.
“Thank you so much for inviting me to such a private space.”
Even if it’s just a diary, I’m reluctant to show it to others, but it wasn’t easy to show the traces of a really long time.
“I invited you because I am Leon. So don’t look too closely.”
“I know. I’ll keep that in mind. If you’re anxious, you can close your eyes and look for it, would you?”
She burst into laughter at Leon’s nuisance.
“it’s okay. Hurry up and find it.”
With her permission, it was time to search.
‘google!’
[Gureukgureuk-]
‘Tell me right away if the seed shows a reaction.’
[Gureuk!]
Since he said he would be able to find out just by going to the warehouse, it wouldn’t be a subtle reaction. Leone moved quickly through the warehouse.
Just as Leon thought, the seeds began to react.
[Gureuk!]
[The right end.]
I followed the instructions of Google and Siri, and I was able to find it.
Leone stopped and stared at the object, and she explained it from the side.
“This is something I brought from the imperial palace.”
“… … Yes? I heard you didn’t steal anything… … .”
“A thief sneaked into the imperial palace, how could he come out without bringing anything?”
She asked Leon back with a villainous smile.
‘They said it was romantic!’
I was deceived. I was tricked.
I was doubly fooled.
