I will help for a fee! How could I be so inconsiderate? What I missed was that the thief was a purebred elf.

  According to the laws of nature, the longer the elves lived, the lower their birth rate and fertility. Therefore, elves didn’t have such developed breasts as the women of the human race. Their average life expectancy was about 2,000 years, and during this time, they only had about 2-3 children.

  Subsequently, there was a degeneration of later generations.

  …That was just my bullsh*t opinion. Only the God of the fantasy world knew why elves had breasts like an LCD monitor.

  “But I’m still big enough!“


  I admit that her breasts were still slightly larger than Sylvia’s. But what’s the point of it?

  “Anyway, let’s leave that thing like that for later.”


  “Thing?!”


  “I’m much more interested in knowing what you were going to steal from the black market warehouse. If it’s just money, then at your level, this is too dangerous of a gamble.”


  Fools don’t run it; they guard their goods properly. Although they are ruthless, they have no equal in terms of security. If your skills and level allowed you to steal something from them, you could succeed in everything. Stealing from them wouldn’t even be necessary at that level.

  This made everything look suspicious. Was a level 137 thief going to sneak through the level 150 guards and traps to steal something from the Black Auction? I wonder what made her take such a step.

  “I was going to steal the Chaos Artifact.”


  As if revealing a huge secret, the thief stood with a serious expression. But when she saw my face, cringing, she asked:

  “Is there something that does not suit you in my answer?”


  “Of course, you damn thief.”


  The world is full of different artifacts. Angel Artifacts, Ancient Artifacts, Legendary Artifacts, Sacred Artifacts, Demonic Artifacts, Glory Artifacts, Hero Artifacts …


  Chaos Artifact? That’s enough…


  “I’m not a damn thief! Because of betrayal, I cannot lead a royal life, but I am not a petty thief who steals the belongings of others. While I was collecting the artifacts that my ancestor left behind, of course, my specialty…are you even listening to me?”


  “So what is this Artifact?”


  “This is an object that contains the power of chaos. It is a fragment from the power formed when God created the rules and laws of the worlThanksnks to this, I mastered the Dark Energy, and with the help of Divinity, which has opposite properties, I was able to resist the submission of the Demon Lord. By the way…how long will you stare at me without clothes, you vile savage?! Give me some clothes to cover up.”


  First Hero. It seems that the “Chaos Artifact” was the name given to the item that contained the Elder’s power. After all, the unfortunate Elven King was the First Hero’s companion. Even if he couldn’t personally use their skills, he could use the items received from the Hero. If this attribute, called Chaos, was hereditary, she inherited even thicker blood than the royal family that now rules Elfheim.

  Although she now lived a miserable existence, like a bad thief.

  “Ignorant Hero! Are you even listening to me?!”


  ”Shut up. I don’t want to hear anything about ignorance from a member of the royal family whose pride is as small as her breasts.”


  ”Small…?!”


  The deception of this thief caused me great financial damage.

  ”Thief. Is that artifact that you were going to steal really in the black market? If you answer, I’ll let you cover yourself with this blanket until tomorrow.”


  ”Only until tomorrow?”


  ”Don’t you want it?”


  ”It’s there! I can feel the power of chaos. Now it’s too far away, so it is difficult to say, but until I was caught, I felt it. There is an Artifact of Chaos there.”


  To cover up and protect her trampled pride, she shared classified information. However, there was a lot of useless information hiding there.

  “I’m not interested in knowing your name.”


  ”You are a savage, not a Hero! You need to know the limits of rudeness!

  The elf thief told me everything about herself except her age. This thief can’t steal but is being stolen…


  ”Why do I need your name?”


  “This is the name of a purebred elf of the royal family! I only give my name to those I trust! But suddenly you, Hero, are the first! Take it as an honor—Phah?!”


  Flap!

  I threw the blanket right in her face. The princess from the central continent was also talking about such nonsense. This honor is only worth wiping your feet with.

  “Um… Hero. Sorry to interrupt. Have you seen Princess Sylvia in this area? She is the daughter of the one I accompanied, ” the elf archer intervened carefully.

  If you recall the 2nd playthrough, she, without a moment’s hesitation, sacrificed her life for Sylvia. She had no equal when it came to devotion. I shrugged.

  ”I saw her in the woods.”


  Most likely, it was already beautifully packaged at the Black Auction. Because the kingdom of the elves kept their borders tightly closed, many don’t even know that the royal family, like Sylvia, has longer ears than ordinary elves, like this thief. Did they introduce her as a cheeky rabbit?

  Everything except Sylvia’s chest was appreciated, but the reason she was so expensive was precisely her rare long ears.

  …I was angry as soon as I thought about it. It can’t be that this thief is worth three times as much as Sylvia.

  ”She shouldn’t conflict with those people from the Black Auction…”


  ”Ha! I think she got scared and ran away.”


  “Who are you to say that about the royal family? If your ears aren’t as fake as your breasts, then you must be a member of the royal family too.

  ”These are real ears!”


  ”It’s hard to believe. These are words from the lips of someone who tried to charm others with deception.”


  The thief and the archer began a skirmish.

  ”Because of my ancestor, the men of this family have been weird for many generations! Even if it has small wings, a bird is a bird! And no one can deny it!

  I well understand how the descendants are now suffering greatly because of their pathetic ancestors. The elf archer snapped back.

  ”You’re just talking some nonsense, but there wasn’t a king who belittled his fellow tribesmen in history.”


  ”There is!”


  ”Aren’t you confusing them with human kings? There were never any such elf kings.”


  ”There was!”


  ”No!”


  The two elves glared at each other. The thief’s words were true, but history was on the winning side. If it became known that the most respected king of the elves hated his fellow tribesmen, then the royal power would be under threat, which is why it is carefully hidden.

  And one more. Everything in this fantasy world is great if you have a high level. Even the minor Threat skill of a level 851 archer put a lot of pressure on a level 137 thief. As if resisting, the thief cried out.

  “Is a royal guard knight threatening a member of the royal family? I understand now how the demons stole the queen from you!”


  ”Ho-how do you know that?”


  “I saw it by chance when I was looking for the Chaos Artifact.”


  ”And what happened to her?”


  ”This is unknown to me. All I know is that the demon didn’t immediately kill the queen.”


  I know well. That queen found herself a new love! She enjoyed playing on the Demon Lord’s castle terrace, and nine years after the Hero was summoned, she seemed to have had a child with him. But I didn’t consider it necessary to tell them about it. They will start questioning me, how do I know, and besides, I didn’t see any benefit for myself.

  I quietly changed the subject.

  ”From today on, your names are Archer E and Thief E.”


  ”Yes, master.”


  The archer answered obediently. It was also partly because I’m an SSS class, righteous hero. There seemed to be no complaint about the names I came up with.

  ”This is unfair! It doesn’t even sound like names! I have a noble name, Illina Lou Elfheim! By what right do you change my name?!”


  ”Thief E.”


  ”My name…”


  ”Thief E.”


  “…”


  And so everything was decided. In this playthrough, I now had two new tasks: research the Chaos Artifact mentioned by Thief E and collect the likes of Archer E, who accompanied the queen.

  It’s just collecting. The hero with 25 years of experience only had to do this.

  â?º Confusion: Cadet Kang Han Soo. Isn’t there anything more useful? For example, slay the Five Disasters.

  …If you think about it, it wasn’t a bad plan either. I was wondering if I overcome all Five Disasters, would the fantasy world be destroyed anyway? In addition, I could meet with my dear companion, High Dragon of Oblivion, Noebius. I plan to graduate after the 9th playthrough, so I wanted to say goodbye to my friend in advance.

  And something else. I need to retrieve the money I lost due to thief E. But I wouldn’t use such a savage method as attacking the black market auction, as I am also, to some extent, guilty.

  ”It was necessary to understand immediately after I saw the long ears of Thief E.”


  My fault. I’m not going to shift all the blame to the auction because unlike the dim-witted God of the fantasy world; I am a just Hero. So…


  Let’s contact Prince Nasus!

  ***

  During the 2nd playthrough, I became friends with Prince Nasus, the main contender for the throne of the elven kingdom. Because of this, I knew very well what he wanted.

  ”Archer E.”


  ”Yes, master.”


  ”Contact the elven kingdom.”


  Archer E was devoted to the kingdom like no other. Using the magic of communication established in the Dumpling Kingdom, she transferred all the information received to the kingdom of elves. The location of Princess Sylvia, the abduction of the queen, the appearance of the Hero…


  She told them everything she knew. And after a few days…


  The news came that Prince Nasus and a delegation were going to visit the Dumpling Kingdom. Why Prince Nasus? Because the prince was the only elf willing to contact humans, stepping on their dangerous land. I didn’t have the bodies of Sylvia and her followers like in play 2, but the overall picture was similar.

  He was the head of the delegation. At Nasus’s belt hung the elven kingdom’s treasure, the Elemental Sword of Endymion, of which he was so proud.

  ] Race: Arch-Elf

  ] Level: 999+

  ] Specialization: Swordsman (Swordsmanship = Cutting Force↑)

  ] Skills: Swordsmanship(SS) Sword Qi(S) Regeneration(A) Elementalism(A) Majesty(A)…


  ] Condition: Satisfied

  Although his sister was missing, he wasn’t at all worried. On the contrary, he hoped that she was killed. But in the eyes of others, he seemed like a “great prince” who, even in such a situation when the fate of his sister was unknown, remained calm and reasonable. The prince extended his hand to me as a greeting.

  ”I’m Nasus. It is an incredible honor to meet the great Hero of Legends. I don’t even know how to express my gratitude for the fact that you saved my compatriots, who were almost sold at the auction…Ah! Forget all the formalities and just call me Nasus. Sir Hero is entitled to this.”


  He was still an extremely pleasant person. What did I answer in play 2? Ah!

  ”Nice to meet you, Nasus. I sincerely hope that elves and humans live in peace and harmony, like our meeting.”


  ”That is my wish too.”


  ”Cheers!”


  ”Hahaha!

  We talked in a friendly atmosphere, discussing everything from politics to the war debate. While we were talking, Prince Nasus asked me an unusual question:

  ”Sir Hero, could you please introduce me to the beautiful elf who is next to you.”


  ”She’s…”


  Slap!

  I immediately hit the only plump place of Thief E, as she was dressed in a festive dress with my palm. The sound from the blow was loud enough.

  ”Ho-How dare-…”


  The thief quickly covered her mouth. To say that you are from the royal family in front of Prince Nasus, who plans to take the throne, is tantamount to suicide. But he had already noticed her long ears, symbolizing the representative of the royal family. That’s what I was planning, so I brought her here.

  “This is the lustful thief I raised. She, like Princess Sylvia, loves to hang around, but I keep her in check.”


  ”…I understood. I envy you. You have such a beauty among your slaves.”


  ”I appreciate your compliment.”


  Now Thief E couldn’t escape from me. Unless, of course, she wished to fall prey to assassins from the elf kingdom, she’d better trust me.

  ”Bless our meeting!”


  ”Bless.”


  ”Haha!”


  ”Hahaha!”


  History was always written at night. After we finished celebrating the delegation’s arrival in the Dumplings Kingdom, we met face to face on the dark terrace. I was the first to start the conversation.

  ”Do you want to find the missing princess Sylvia?”


  ”Of course. If something happens to my younger sister, I will not stand it.”


  ”Oh, dear! Then…”


  I will help you for a fee!
