Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[Eon's POV: ]

{ "Alright then! The next item we have, oh! I think we have seen a similiar item as this one a few years back as well! An apple with the shine of gold!" }

[Number 42: 200 Gold.]

They were good, I will give them that much.

[{ *Aha. To think someone would actually try breaking this from the core instead of the only possible solution of unwrapping every single layer of it.

It's almost like piercing a hole right through a tower that should have beeen climbed one look at a time. Facinating…" }]

Zack the code breaker broke through the security system a while back and now was in complete control of the entire system maintaining and controlling Hiraani.

He had overtaken everything Oprator B was in charge of and was now doing everything it can to redirect the employees in the acility all around the place to create a kind of chaos that they could use as a window o opportunity and get past the auction room that reach the area that was connecting to the area which contained the door to the place where everything appearing the auction currently was stored.

'Zack possessed control over almost everything that was happening over Hiraani's network in real time, however, the guy did not know what Hiraani was capable of.'

[ "Oprator B. Switch over to the emergency radio. Suspend all ongoing actions." ]

I was the one that developed this network with the knowledge of thee past times of this world and the world I have come from. A system that though not perfect, was better than anything avalable in this world.

'I knew how it worked and I knew there would come a day when we would lose the control over the system, that's why we had many contingencies in place.'

-Skeeech!

[ "First assistant unit responding. Contingency C2 in motion." ]

The magic security system of Hiraani not only maintained all the operations happening in this vast castle, it also helped the first assistant unit, or the Oprator B with every single thing they did for this facility.

The magic security system was the heart of everything happening in this place, something every single person wearing the head pieces like ours used on hourly bases.

It kept track of the resources avalable, relied commands from one unit to the other, assisted people of different divisions with things that they couldn't do on their own, things like calculating the losses caused by mad individuals or showing the true value of the things present in the auction house.

The system was mostly everything, it had been everything even before I came… but, it did not mean it was everything there was to Hhiraani.

{ "All personal, listen up. Contingency C2 has been announced! I repeat! Contingency C2 is to be executed by every personnel! Practice caution! There are hounds in the shadows!" }

We don't know what their plan is, but it would ultimately be reaching the storage area and taking what they were here for… which isn't even here!

'Whoever the hell spred those fake rumors was a bastard. But thanks to them, we have a chance to meet some of the most amazing thieves of the world.'

They were inside our house. There's no way I was going to let them go-

"Hmm? Big brother. Look. Perhaps there's something happening down there."

"What, dear?"

"That person. It seems like they have some problem."

Anna was pointing at the very corner of the room down there. A place whic should have beeen thee same normal place like any other one.

People had individual places to sit so there should not have been any natural occurrence there, however, something certainly was happening down there.

And that wasn't the only place where something was happening.

[{ *Master… looks like tat person tapped into our radio network.* }]

'Of course he did. A smart person like him should have alredy anticipated the possibility of contingencies.'

But that's not what I'm concerned about right now.

[ "Looks like the mole is acting up… but I can't see where he is." ]

Some commotion started in one corner of the room. Then in some other corner.

It rapidly accelerated and now, the commotions had grown so much people were shouting at others to calm down or sit down on their places.

[ "It seems like the work of master manipulator <Laughing tears>. He is said to be very good at hiding among th crowd and since they have some kind of artifact that gives them different look, even I don't know who he is yet." ]

[ "Well, what do you want me to do then~? Should I just reeze everyone~? They are soooooo annoying!" ]

Miss Sarah had an enchanting voice. A kind o voice that one couldn't help but be attracted to. And this voice was a weapon far more dangerous than most high magic or sword techniques.

She could not only control the minds of the individuals with that voice of hers, she could also command the very space and energies with her voice.

'She was from one of the rarest races of this world. And, she was far older than she looked so she knew how to use her powers better than I knew how to use Solnova.'

She was special, amazing, and dangerous.

Pissing her off was not something even I would wanna do. Especially not in her own auction room.

[ "Alright then… tell them to calm down first so that things at least don't escalate further. I will try and pick out the mole from that bunch." ]

[ "As you say dear~." ]

She 'requested' everyone to calm down with a stronger voice than what she usually uses, and right after her words, the voices and screams filling the place subsided.

Then, as everyone was stunned by her sudden voice, I looked around the place with my third eye.

Everything was pretty normal, there was no sigh of any suspicious activities, and more than that, there was no one there that seemed out of place.

Everyone looked perfectly normal, no signs of someone using some kind of skin to cover their identities was found anywhere… even the people who were not yet arguing with each other over various matters had anything suspicious about them.

'Damn he's good.'

I even used the apprisal on everyone but ounce nothing weird in the common people… which was strange and led me to use apprisal on the entire room.

And that was when I found out something interesting.

[ "Miss Sarah, just tell everyone to sit down on their seats, nod while looking up at me and continue. The commotion will stop automatically." ]

[ "Well, if you say so~." ]

She did not care about the thieves or what they were doing here as long as they weren't disturbing her auction or harming mom and her people in any way.

They can quietly go and steal whatever they wanted if it wasn't hindering her in any manner and she wouldn't have anything for them.

But things would chance if they were causing commotion in her area.

'Lucy, can we track down Zack?'

[{ *We can, sure. But what would that help? He isn't even here, as you alredy know.* }]

'Yes, but that's not the thing. I was just asking. And beside, did you see that?'

[{ *Ah, yes… they are meticulous.* }]

'The <Black angel>. That bastard must have figured out there's a mole among them and made preparations.'

[{ *Yes, but… to invite two more? Without even the others knowing? Twelve of the most wanted criminals of this world gathered under a single roof. How funny is that.* }]

'Twelve… well, nine to be precise. One isn't here, one is on our side and these two new ones should be counted as a single entity.'

[{ *Two bodies one soul… facinating.* }]

'Two bodies one connected soul, yes. They sure are facinating.'

Sadly, neither two of them, nor the master manipulator laughing tears did any good job hiding among the common people with weak mentality that could easily be influenced by Miss Sarah's words.

'They resisted her power to a certain digree and were not affected by it much, which was a mistake and they knew it.'

That's why they tried to 'act' as if they were influenced, but none of the three could do a good enough job to escape my eyes.

And, after miss Sarah nodded at us with a smile on her face, all three knew we knew about them and that they had to abort that very moment.

'They could stay if they wanted to actually buy something with their own money but they weren't that dumb.'

Getting caught would turn our to be many time more expensive so, leaving was the best choice… not that we would let them.

[{ *And that marks the finishing point. The system is back up again.* }]

The magic system was something like self regenerative software. It repaired itself after someone broke it, and went back it's original task that it was born to follow.

'It was an artificial intelligence that we made with magic, runes, knowledge of past and beyond this world, as well as with so many rare and importent resources that one could have bought an empire with what it's creation was worth.'

Thankfully, the maintenance charges were low so we haven't gone bankrupt just yet.

"Wait a minute, Anna. Let me go use the washroom real quick."

Putting her down after giving her a forehead kiss, I walked out after greeting the others and mom.

They were focused on what was going on down there, but it was nothing to worry about.

Their basic plan was ruined now.

So… it meant they were going to act recklessly.

And also that the boss, was on the move.
