Chapter 64: Why Be a Thief!

Pull out the dagger hidden in the boots, insert it into the lock cylinder, and with a click, directly mash the iron lock. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Pushing the door and sneaking in, closing the door with his backhand, the basic-level stealth technique not only allowed him to use shadows to hide himself, but even his movements became lighter.

He wasn't a professional after all, and he still made a sound when he opened and closed the door, which was nothing during the day, but a little abrupt at night.

To be careful, he simply stood guard at the door for a while, making sure that he did not arouse the alarm of his master, and then proceeded.

The black rumbling passage, the light footsteps make a slight rustling sound, which is sultry.

Since the long sword was too obstructive and interfered greatly with stealth operations, Ling Qi simply untied it and placed it at the door.

As he passed a room, Ling Qi heard a faint snoring coming from inside.

In the darkness, the eyes that were deeper than the shadows flashed, and the man smiled lightly.

It seems that the owner of the house is sleeping soundly, which is a good thing, and the real master can leave with what he needs before the master wakes up.

Is Ling Qi a master? I'm afraid not. But there are also low-handed means, not to mention a ruthless low-hand!

The easiest way to infiltrate better than a professional thief is not to improve your stealth skills, but to make sure that there are no living creatures around you when you move!

In all fairness, Ling Qi doesn't have a penchant for killing, but as long as it is necessary, he doesn't care if he's scolded as a butcher at all, what's more-

"Squeak!"

The dilapidated door was quietly pushed open, and a black figure rolled on the spot and tumbled into the house.

The snoring that had been absent immediately stopped, and Ling Qi, who had just stood up, knew that the time had come!

Old Dick was a stall merchant, and because he was a relatively dull person, his business had been bleak since he officially quit his job in the bakery to join the business world, and he could barely make ends meet.

Especially after the death of his ex-wife, the family was even more chaotic, and the two children could only mess around outside and help people since they were young, and they could be regarded as suffering with him.

Luck finally favored him one day, and about five or six years ago, he teamed up with a few other small traders and rented a horse and hauled a large cart of goods to Aldi's farm to make a big deal.

The sky was not beautiful, and they encountered a small group of robbers.

Just as several of his accomplices had been killed one after another, and Old Dick himself was hanging by a thread, Lady Luck opened her eyes a little and glanced at him.

This glimpse changed his fate.

The leader of this gang of robbers turned out to be his playmate from his youth.

Originally, the robbers didn't have much old love in their eyes, but a certain big man behind the gang of robbers was trying to find an inside line in Koloer City!

So, the misfortune of others became his luck, and he monopolized all the goods alone, and was escorted by robbers, and he made a lot of money at that time.

From then on, he became the bandits, and their bandits' stolen partners in the city of Kolol.

To be honest, this job is still very risky to do, and once it is found out, the whole family will have to go to the gallows. He was just a small stall merchant at the time, and he was not a full member of the thieves' guild, so he had no contact with that.

But he was also poor and crazy, not to mention that all the people were dying of hunger, where could he take care of a lot, and immediately seized this opportunity, and relied on the money that was suddenly rich at that time, and climbed to a small official in charge of commerce and taxation in the city!

There are people above who are easy to do, and the officials and bandits are a family, and this time and again, Dick, as the middleman who sells stolen goods, completely trembled.

In a few years, his family's house has been upgraded from the most garbage in the civilian area to the most luxurious cluster in the civilian area.

If it weren't for the fear of the tree, with the belongings he hid, and then sell the current house, he could even move to a rich area, buy a few slaves, and live a high-class life.

However, something happened recently that kept old Dick in his heart.

The basement of his house, the private prison that the robbers had asked to prepare, finally came in handy!

False imprisonment is a felony! If the object is a free man, it is even more of a crime!

Fortunately, the guy who was sent in the box was a tiger man. On the continent of Tamriel, the Tiger and Argonian are the two lowest races. Only these two races, rich in slaves and coolies.

In the past few days, there are always some people who quietly come to his house and go to the basement to torture the tiger man.

These people made the movement a little bigger, and even the two children and his wife were alarmed.

Fortunately, the young wife has some understanding of what he is doing, and the two children are also adults, and they are much more "sensible" than before.

"Squeak~"

The sound of the door being pushed open woke old Dick, who was already asleep.

It's a pity that he is in his fifties after all, he is no longer young, and he can't even satisfy his new stepwife, so he can only sleep in separate rooms.

"Maybe it's a mouse!"

Old Dick comforted himself like this, and was about to fall asleep!

Laugh at!

There was a sharp pain in his neck, his mouth was filled with salt, and his breath was completely blocked by warm blood!

He opened his eyes violently, twisted desperately, and raised his arms as hard as he could, trying to struggle, trying to make a little movement!

However, a thick quilt directly covered him, and in a few seconds, he completely lost consciousness!

In the darkness, Ling Qi let go of the hand holding the corner of the quilt, and through the moonlight outside the window, he opened it to see that the man's eyes were staring, blood stained the bed, and he was already dead.

There was nothing noteworthy about the placket of the corpse's clothes, the ten fingers, and the inside of the clothes with painful thorns at will.

Cover the body with a blood-stained quilt again, which will allow the smell of blood to dissipate more slowly.

He silently walked around the room again, and found little loot except for a shriveled money bag on the bedside table.

Ling Qi didn't dare to search carefully, who knew if there were any living people in the other rooms.

He held the dagger, which was still dripping blood, and got out of the crack in the door again. This dagger is the pain and thorn, and it is also the biggest reason for him to kill the killer!

Fang just used a dagger to lock his throat, and it felt like he was cutting tofu, which did not match the sharpness of the dagger's edge at all.

Ling Qi remembered Lucian's words, it wasn't originally used to cut wood, and he couldn't help but think so.

The room is not large, there are five rooms on the first floor.

Except for the old man in the first room, there were three people sleeping in the four rooms inside, a bewitching young woman, and two sturdy young men, all of whom were undoubtedly bad for Ling Qi's poisonous hands!

One of the assassinations of the young woman turned out to be a little accidental.

This woman is obviously not an ordinary person, and she actually has a magic ring on her body that automatically pops out a shield!

Fortunately, she slept relatively dead, and the pain and thorns were worthy of being a murderous weapon, tearing the shield and stabbing the heart with one blow!

Afterwards, Ling Qi found a set of green steel needles on her body!

Such a woman-

It's a pity that the magic ring is a disposable, and the shield was already broken when it broke!

Violently breaking through the secret door and entering the basement, Ling Qi saw the "unexpected" person.

"Hank?!"

Looking at the tiger man who was locked in the "big iron cage" and was almost not human, Ling Qi was indeed very surprised!

He pulled out the usual corrugated steel dagger and slashed the chain that locked the cell door.

With a bang, the dagger burst into a gap, and the chain broke.

The poor tiger man had completely lost consciousness and was on his deathbed, unable to answer any questions at all.

Ling Qi first squatted down to check his injuries, and found that they were basically caused by torture, and the surrounding environment was too poor, so that the wound was seriously infected. According to Ling Qi's medical knowledge, he was completely hopeless, unless there was a high-grade healing potion.

Then, Ling Qi sighed, got up and searched in the basement, and finally found a piece of paper in a corner of the iron cage.

"Upstairs in the third room on the left-hand side, the largest cabinet counts from top to bottom in the second drawer!"

These two sentences were written on the piece of paper, both of which were translated by mysterious voices, and Ling Qi's eyes flickered.

This is the second time this has happened, the previous time was a note given by Antorel, the five rules on the back cover.

Suddenly, the pieces of paper in his hand scattered in the wind and turned to ashes.

Ling Qi was stunned, as if a lightning bolt crossed his heart!

Only then did he remember that this situation should not have happened for the second time, but for the third time!

Another time it was a wordless map!

No!

In retrospect, the contents of the back cover of the notes left by Antoreel were not understood by him because of the mysterious voice translation, and in that case, it was more like the words themselves had some kind of "thought-provoking" power!

So, the mysterious voice will appear to translate the text, which is related to the "mission"?!

Ling Qi thought about it, and came to Hank's side again, looking at the tiger man who was dying with pain on his face. He crouched down, holding his jaw with one hand, and pressing his head with the other, twisting it hard.

Click!

Hank, the tiger man, failed to fulfill his dream of entering the gladiatorial arena of the imperial capital after all, and died in a dark dungeon.

Ling Qi was expressionless and hurriedly left the basement.

Upstairs, come to the room where the paper tip is. The furnishings inside look like a study, no wonder there is no one at night.

The piece of calligraphy, like the bamboo paper he had held earlier, disappeared as he understood the meaning of it, but the content was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Opening the drawer, there was a red sandalwood gem box, a leather round bag, and a notebook.

Without moving the leather bag and box first, Ling Qi directly took out the notes, put them on the table, and carefully picked them open with a dagger.

Nothing happens, it's a simple diary.

Ling Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then picked up the diary and flipped through it.
