Fierce Horse Inn back alley

The young Thief yawned, not paying attention due to boredoet was a half-elf Fighter apparently wanted by their employer However, the boss had only asked them to keep a watch on her and report her whereabouts on schedule

"Ah… Who would go out on the streets at this ti a lot of trouble" The Thief was struggling to stay awake

Acheron’s boss was extre protection fees on a sress in the underworld Every nment would cost them their life

‘Hmmm? What’s that noise?’

The Thief suddenly looked behind hiuard The dark alley was deserted, and he was alone

‘A?’ The Thief frowned for a uy’s perception is impressive’

The Thief’s reaction startled Marvin and er’s [Stealth] couldn’t be compared with a Thief’s [Stealth] when in the city because it would be weakened by 40 His [Stealth]’s 24 SP when opposed to the Thief’s perception was somewhat low As they weren’t in the wilderness, Marvin didn’t have the advantage

Fortunately, he had perfectly guessed the Thief’s perception range

Marvin’s heart skipped a beat If he had tried to get closer, the Thief would have discovered him for sure If that happened, he would have alerted the others and tonight’s matter would have been quite difficult to solve

He hid in a dark place, pondered, and finally decided to use the 20 SP he had saved earlier The 20 SP were all added to [Stealth] and though it didn’t reach 50 to get to the next stage, 44 should be good enough for now

Once he was done upgrading his skill he leaned forward once again, taking a step toward the Thief

As expected, this time the Thief didn’t react, still co the inn’s back door

The rest was easy to take care of

Marvin walked quietly with cat-like steps toward the back of the Thief and pounced on him He skillfully covered the thief’sblood to fly out

Apart fro the air, no traces of the attack were left

Marvin quickly took care of the level 2 Thief’s body He et hold of a few trap sters weren’t really wealthy as their equiper It was most likely used to scare the coht between adventurers

Marvin’s dragged the Thief’s body to the drain Bodies of murdered people would be found there every day Apart fro for corpses, no one was interested in these places

Sneakily entering the inn and still using [Stealth], Marvin climbed the stairs and was about to enter the rooht suddenly flashed out and stopped against his neck

"Sneaky punk! What are you guys trying to do?" A wo a s Master Marvin?"

A candle was lit and the dark, quiet roo the candle while her right hand was holding a sword She had an amazed expression on her face

"Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t coht at the Silver Church"

Marvin shook his head The Silver Church does provide a resting place for travelers, but that place’s rent was even more expensive

"Listen Anna, we only have 15 minutes," Marvin said quickly His eyes swept around the roo every inch of the place and unexpectedly found the curtains co?" He looked at Anna

Anna hesitated and then used her sword to point outside the"Your words reminded me that I scouted a little and discovered people on the street staring at the inn, towards our roo, "Two at the front door, one at the back"

"Young Master Marvin! How did you suddenly…" Anna looked at Marvin with shock, as if she was looking at another person
