Overgeared

[The Great Robber of the Red Night is interested in you. Watch out for red nights.]

This was the warning that appeared when Grid entered the secret passage in the imperial palace and obtained the imperial palace’s blueprint. Until then, Grid wasn’t very conscious of the Great Robber of the Red Night. He guessed this person was just a great thief. It might be annoying if they got involved, but that was it.

However, he started to become wary of the Great Robber of the Red Night after visiting the Tower of Wisdom. This was due to the conversation he had with Radwolf, the third seat of the Tower of Wisdom.

“The Great Robber of the Red Night snuck into the Tower of Wisdom?”

“That’s right.”

“No, this... Is he a transcendent?”

“That's right. He has been active for at least 600 years. His age rivals us. That damn guy stole Nevartan’s Necklace that was hidden here over 100 years ago.”

The Great Robber of the Red Night, who found the Tower of Wisdom that had all types of cloaking magic on it, and infiltrated it while deceiving the senses of the tower members—he was probably one of the strongest talents in existence. Such a great person appearing at this timing...

“A treasure trove has been opened. Kukuk.”

This person appeared in the imperial palace. He was an ordinary old man. His wrinkled skin had age spots and his waist was bent so much that people wanted to get him a cane. As he stood with his hands behind his back, the eyes of the officials moved to Grid. They were wondering if this was a person from the Overgeared Kingdom.

Basara shouted instead of Grid, “Surround him!”

“......!”

The knights were startled by the urgent shout and surrounded the old man. The old man’s gaze turned to Basara.“Your attitude toward guests is very poor.”

“There is no tradition in the empire about treating thieves as guests.”

That’s right—Basara was the empress of the empire and naturally noticed the identity of the old man.

“Great Robber of the Red Night.”

“......!”

“......!”

The eyes of the officials widened. The knights surrounding the old man were also shocked and they drew their swords. They knew the story of the empire and were vaguely aware of how dangerous the Great Robber of the Red Night was.

The knights had the ropes snatched from them in the blink of an eye and couldn’t comprehend the situation. The old man patted the shoulders of those who were bound and turned back to Basara. “Then I’ll leave with the right stuff. Don’t mind
