The Game of a Legendary Genius Dark Mage

Why is Plinky showing up here?

Isn't he supposed to be a descendant of a sage?@@novelbin@@

For someone like Plinky to be stealing?

Something doesn’t quite add up.

It's strange for someone who doesn’t need to steal to actually steal.

This implies...

‘It means he knows what’s hidden in that scroll...’

And if I recall what the apprentice warrior Luke, a descendant of a hero, said recently...

The story could be deduced much faster than expected.

The sage and the warrior are both suspicious of the Kingdom of Rieskan.

They’re questioning the death of the previous hero, Hindel.

With this thought in mind, Seong, after some contemplation, asked Terian.

“By any chance, was anything else stolen, apart from the Zirkan Order’s mission items?”

“Hmmm, I searched through everything, but nothing else was missing.”

“Just that one thing was stolen...”

While Seong was still deep in thought, he asked again.

“Did you report it to the higher-ups?”

“…No, of course not. It’s embarrassing, but the reason I’m even looking for the thief is so I can handle it first and avoid any blame on my part. Such incidents don’t have a positive impact.”

Wouldn't that make things worse?

If it gets found out later, wouldn't you just get in more trouble?

Is it just about getting away with it?

Seong thought, but chose not to voice those doubts.
