Chapter 251 – Episode 251 – Let’s Aim for the Phantom Thief, Not the Relic.
“Sir, I understand that you are upset,”
Immediately after receiving the soldier’s report, Gangrim headed to the scene of the incident. After confirming the truth, she went straight to the conference room.
As soon as he arrived, Kanglim ordered Iris.
‘Can’t we conquer the Kingdom of Roseum right away?’
The culprit who stole the ancient relics is the phantom thief Arba and Seolhwa. Their tracks were found at the scene. So, who is the person who made those two move?
In all likelihood, he is a mercenary king. He did this using a thief living in his own country.
He was going to start a war of conquest with ease, but he abandoned this mess. The moment the lid was opened, Kangrim wanted to subdue the Kingdom of Roseum right away.
However, it was dismissed.
“Necia must be prioritized now, not Rosseum. Only after conquering Necia can we aim for Roseum.”
It was just as Iris said.
“We must break it down quickly before the remnants rally their forces. If you don’t break it and aim at the wrong place, your victory in the final battle will be meaningless.”
“Whoa…”
Kangrim let out a long breath, as if letting out all the anger he had built up.
“Calm down, master.”
Su-ah, the head of the nine-tailed fox tribe, carefully massaged Kang-rim’s shoulders. Perhaps because Kang-rim was angry, his face was covered in cold sweat.
“I know you’re angry, but getting angry doesn’t mean things will get better.”
“…”
“So let’s calm down. Yes? Please.”
Su-ah begs with a trembling voice. This wasn’t just Sua.
Kaudo, head of the Bison tribe,
Rabbit tribe leader Levido,
Admiral Cardian, Commander-in-Chief Iris, and Secretary Atria were looking at Advent with the same sentiment.
Looking at it like this, wouldn’t it make me feel more foolish to get angry?
“Okay. “I won’t get angry, so don’t be scared.”
In the lab, Kang-rim realizes that she is still afraid of herself.
She went through that, how can she be angry? If she decides to take a different path from Grid, she should do so, but if she gets angry, she is no different from Grid.
So let’s calm down. Subsidence. In order to suppress the anger that rose to the top of her head, Kang-rim let out her breath again and again.
“Whoo, whoo, whoo…” Damn it. If she had been prepared, it wouldn’t have ended up like this…”
At least if you made preparations to capture the phantom thief. If she had done that, she wouldn’t have been robbed. She didn’t do that and the person who passed over was Kang-rim himself.
She resented Kangrim for that.
Even if you feel resentful, it is impossible to undo what has already happened.
“It’s really painful that the infinite disk was taken away because it was a sand model…”
〈Sand model〉.
A miraculous artifact that can create something from nothing. If you want, you can turn a desert area into a dense forest, create an island in the middle of the ocean, and even change the existing environment by injecting more power. The fact that it can be used to modify the human body is a bonus.
Because it was an item that would cause serious trouble if it fell to the enemy, Kangrim placed the utmost importance on storing the 〈 sand model 〉. Even on the day of the decisive battle or the day of the after-party, security was not neglected.
And 〈Infinite Disk〉 is an artifact used to produce semen. Originally, the semen production facility was located inside Kangrim’s flagship, and the disk was inside it.
However, the flagship sank due to Tai’s transformation into a monster, and as a result, the disk also sank peacefully. If the turtles hadn’t rescued him, he would have been buried in the cold deep sea.
Afterward, using this incident as a lesson, Ganglim moved the semen production facility to Fox Island. And to prevent it from being lost again, many guards were stationed.
Now that Elf Island has become a new semen supplier, the status of the production facility is lower than before, but it remains an important facility.
Because semen is needed in order to process the women that will be captured into livestock. He can destroy women just by constantly feeding them and injecting them with semen mixed with medicinal and magical energy. The facilities that produce those important items must be protected, and the 〈Infinite Disk〉 that maintains those facilities must be protected unconditionally.
Two supposed artifacts were stolen overnight.
The semen production facility was so badly damaged that it required repairs for about a week.
So what should I do now?
Retaliation is difficult right away because the top priority is to subdue the remnants of the Necia Kingdom.
However, this cannot be left alone. Should I just suck my fingers and watch stupidly?
“Hey, master. “How about sending three people?”
At this time, Kau carefully presented his opinion.
“Wouldn’t it be better to send Stella, Tega, and Croker to retrieve the artifacts?”
“Okay, that’s all I can do now.”
Levi also agreed with Kau’s words.
“I don’t know where I hid it, but now there are only three people who can retrieve it.”
“… “I pretty much know where it’s hidden.”
Kangrim was able to roughly guess where the ancient relics were stored.
“It will be in the basement of the palace. That’s the mercenary king’s military factory.”
An area called the Mercenary King’s Military Factory appears in the game. It is evaluated as one of the areas with the highest risk, and the story states that there were so many traps that Seolhwa and his party almost lost their lives.
If the mercenary king wants to use the artifacts, he will definitely use them in a military factory.
Would it be okay to send three people to that underground factory armed with all kinds of booby traps? No matter how much I recognize my skills, will I be able to get out?
It can only be done if you have an expert who is very good at booby traps…
“… “Wait a minute.”
At that moment, Kangrim had this thought.
“Okay, I guess we can catch him.”
Kangrim thought of a good way to overcome the difficulty and gave instructions to Atria.
“Atria, call the three people right now, hurry.”

That’s how Stella, Tega, and Crocker came to the conference room.
As soon as he arrived, Kangrim gave an emergency order.
“Capturing Arva and his younger brother, a phantom thief living in the Kingdom of Roseum.”
“Can I ask you a question?”
Stella asked, raising her hand. Perhaps thanks to the aftereffects from the after-party, his expression became softer than usual.
“Why do you target the phantom thief first and not the relic?”
Why do they target thieves who stole items first, rather than the lost items?
Kangrim answered this.
“Because we need an expert treasure hunter to retrieve the treasure.”
That was the reason.
“Arba is a woman who can break through any trap. “He is an extraordinary thief who even steals the mercenary king’s treasure.”
Even in the game, Arba proved to have an uncanny ability to disarm all kinds of traps. If she is the same in reality, Arba’s power is essential for her to retrieve the artifacts.
So Kangrim made capturing Arba his top priority.
“But, I don’t know where our phantom thief lives.”
Crocker asked a question.
“We also heard rumors about the phantom thief. But it is not clear where he lives.”
Crocker had also heard that the phantom thief Arva was a great thief. I was also told that she was so mysterious that no one could easily catch her. There was talk that the place of residence was the Kingdom of Roseum, but that was only a rumor. Even though they searched desperately, no one could find where Arba lived.
So, Croker asked with the intention that it would be impossible to search for the phantom thief Arba,
“Are you okay. No problem. “I know everything.”
Gangrim answered as if there was nothing to worry about.
“I know where the phantom thief usually lives and where her sister is.”
“How did you…”
“Um, so…”
Would you believe me if I told you that I learned it through the game?
Kang-rim was slightly embarrassed and was worried about what to do.
“It was in a secret document at my house.”
Kardian took action to provide support.
“The former lord of Siren Island was the patron of the Phantom Thief. So we were able to find out the thief’s residence.”
“Hmm, I see.”
Upon hearing those words, Crocker immediately nodded his head.
When Kang-rim saw that, she let out a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, Cardian.”
“What?”
Kangrim raised her thumb towards Cardian, and Cardian also raised his thumb.
“Well, a phantom thief…”
Tega was lost in thought.
“Hmm? What’s going on, Tega?”
“No, it’s just…” .”
Tega answered Kangrim’s question.
“I saw two new red stars rise. “I think it’s probably the phantom thief and his younger brother that the owner mentioned.”
“Is that so?”
Hearing those words, Kangrim automatically smiled.
‘Is this a predetermined ending?’
Usually Kanglim doesn’t believe in things like fate, but this time he wanted to believe.
That way, you can obtain the phantom thief as you wish.
“Anyway, capture the phantom thief Arba and her younger brother alive. Okay? “I will provide you with all the support you need.”
“””I understand.”””
In this way, Kangrim gave her orders, and Stella, Tega, and Croker each took their men and infiltrated

While Kangrim was giving her new orders,
“Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop!”
Arwen, left alone in the laboratory, was being remodeled.
