Chapter 49
Beginner Hunting Part 2
The three of them from [Blade Fang] had made a name for themselves in the Adventurers’ Guild. On the bad side, of course.
A number of young adventurers who were involved with them had gone missing in the dungeon.
The situation had changed when one of the young male and female adventurers complained to the guild that they had been attacked in the dungeon by [Blade Fang], although in the dungeon, where death was always a possibility, this was not a major problem, as novices could be killed by carelessness.
Still, no bodies were left in the dungeon being processed by monsters, and they were not charged with crimes because there was no evidence, but instead they were just scowled at by the Adventurers’ Guild.
“It was a bad idea to let that fellow go…”
“It’s been going too well so far. We should have just killed him and taken the money instead of thinking about selling the woman.”
“After all, the woman is now dead, too. I think it is time for us to leave this place. The Thieves’ Guild will be glaring at us if we stand out too much, right?”
The three were adventurers, but they were also Thieves belonging to the Thieves’ Guild.
They were not deceiving anyone, both were in their real jobs, but being low-level Thieves with limited Thief-type skills, they devised a way to earn money by hunting novices in the dungeon, rather than stealing.
The reason why thieves did not kill civilians was to prevent the case from getting bigger. If the location was in the dungeon and the target was an adventurer, it would be a gray area, but now that they were suspected of committing crimes, the Thieves’ Guild was beginning to scrutinize them.
“It’s good if we move somewhere else, but do we have enough money to get on the right track?”
