Thieves have always had bad luck.

Such days have been going on for many years, and the profession of thieves has been dealt with quite severely. I don't know how many skilled thieves have been caught red-handed for one or another ridiculous reason, tortured and then died a miserable death.

And this bad luck even touched the Assassins who were doing similar work. So much so that the development of the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim has become more and more sluggish in recent years.

And now, there was an Assassin and a thief together, hiding under the noses of the enemy.

So, what happens?

………………

Abigail is the guard of the dungeon of the Dragon Palace. He was once a veteran of the Snowman Garrison, and he played a lot of credit in the fight against bandits and the hunting of beasts. But just when he was appreciated by his boss and was about to be promoted, bad luck befell him.

He was hit by an arrow in the knee.

Of course, it was a real arrow, a long arrow in stainless steel. And not the kind of 'arrow of love' that is a metaphor for marriage in slang. The robber archer standing on the watchtower shot with extreme accuracy, completely destroying Abigail's patella.

Therefore, the position of Ten-Commander, which had already reached Abigail's mouth, flew away with small wings. And at that time, in order to appease him, the centurion specially arranged a relatively easy position for him - the handyman of the dungeon.

To be fair, this is not an honorable position. If you were a person with a stronger personality, you might rather die on the battlefield than spend the rest of your life in such a place. Abigail, however, was a contented man. Years of fighting have already cooled his blood.

"Just let my old bones use their spare heat in the right place. That's what he said.

And he also did his own job well, and the hygiene and cleanliness of the dungeon were handled cleanly by him. And also earned the respect of the dungeon guards. And this praise also pushes him to make sure that he does his job well.

And on this starry night, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a prisoner at the bottom of the dungeon who had just been executed. And the corresponding cleaning work has not yet been done.

…………

"Hey, Uncle Abi, you're on duty again today?" the patrol guard greeted him with a gentle smile.

He smiled embarrassedly, patted his half-bald head and smiled, "I'm always idle. Isn't that trying to do tomorrow's work first? ”

"Oh, then you have to be quiet. The guard pointed down, "There's a big man there." You know, these people are always a little ......" he winced his eyes.

"Understood, understood. The middle-aged man nodded at the guard. Limped down the corridor.

Behind him, the young guard shook his head regretfully, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear, "It's a pity, someone like Uncle Abi shouldn't have been wasted here." He sighed and continued his patrol along his established route.

It doesn't take much time to get from the top floor of the dungeon to the bottom floor. At least it won't take long to walk the big road. Soon, Abigail was in front of his pantry. His necessary cleaning tools were neatly placed inside.

He deliberately lightened his pace and unconsciously used the stealth skills of the year. Even if there was a little noise, it would have been muffled by the chaotic footsteps outside a few doors.

Hawkers~ After all, the big guys always have some weird habits. It's certainly best to be able to go unnoticed by them.

Because of his poor memory, Abigail often forgets his keys elsewhere. So he deliberately left a backup key above the window. However, it doesn't seem to be needed today. Because he had brought the key with him.

So, let's get down to business.

When the key is inserted into the door lock, there is a crisp sound of the spring turning. With a slight push, the heavy oak door opened.

Wait, something isn't right!

How could there be two strangers in this storeroom!

Abigail subconsciously wanted to ask, and a vicious wind rushed towards him!

It's a fist!

He bowed and stepped back. The veteran's experience worked after all, and the opponent's hasty blow only grazed his scalp! However, just as he wanted to move further, the lame foot hindered his movement.

I can't dodge the next punch!

But even so......

"There are thieves !!!!!!!," he shouted.

The next moment, a heavy blow from the chest and abdomen knocked the veteran to the ground. And with the sudden noise and footsteps, Abigail's vision gradually blurred.

'Unfortunately, the work to be done hasn't begun yet...... before the darkness obscures Abigail's mind. Such thoughts flashed through his mind.

He fainted.

"How...... What should I do!" Looking at the fallen veteran, Yasse looked flustered.

"Damn! I heard me!" Roy said angrily, "Now we only have one way to go. ”

The wood elves on the side were about to cry urgently, and when she heard that Roy had a way, she immediately asked, "What, what way?"

"Go ahead, we'll capture Provantus Avinsi before they find it!" Roy roared resolutely, "Only his life can save our lives!"

He took off the light crossbow from his back and took a step forward, and the oak door in front of him was kicked open!

"Medium!" Roy didn't even need to aim, he knew that several of the arrows he shot had hit the target accurately. Of course, it must also hit. This kind of light crossbow that can fire in bursts is not very lethal, and it is meaningless if it does not hit the vital point! Besides, there is not much time left for them!

"This way!"

The road to the left was the nearest one, but the guards of the five big men would have been sure to pay attention to the wide exit. Well, the only way is to go around from the front! Attack them from the side!

Sure enough, when Roy slammed a wooden door that had been sealed in the shoulder with a blow to the shoulder, the five heavily armed noble guards didn't even have time to turn around!

Golden opportunity!

When a person turns around when he is caught off guard, his head will definitely twist to the corresponding position before his body. In this case, no matter how fine and heavy the armor is, there will inevitably be flaws in the joints of the neck!

Well, now!

'Plop-'

'Plop-'

In two consecutive blows, both crossbow arrows accurately hit the fragile neck cartilage of the two guards. And the third arrow went straight through the eyeballs of another guard!

Well, there are only two left.

Wrong!

Roy pulled the trigger, but the fourth arrow didn't come out as he had hoped—the quiver was gone!

"Damn it!" he threw his crossbow at the guards who lunged at him, but his body lunged forward like a cheetah!

'Ding!' In less than a breath, Roy's dagger had swung forward thirteen times, but the guard, whose movement and vision had been obscured by the light crossbow, could only return twelve!

This last thorn penetrated his brain!

And at this moment, the last remaining person had already reacted, raised his sword and shield, and slashed at Roy's head!

His sword was as fierce as a beast. Even in normal times, Roy was reluctant to take it head-on. And more importantly, he doesn't have a weapon in his hand now!

The first sword was blocked by Roy with the shell of a dead guard. However, the second sword made him scramble, and the wolf was very angry!

There's no way he'll be able to dodge the third sword!

"Die!!" the guard roared. The expression on his distorted face was as hideous as that of a beast.

'Pss

The sharp weapon pierced through the shell, but it was the mighty guard who fell. Just now, Yasai, who finally reacted, took off the short bow behind his back and shot the hoplite guard through the head with an arrow!

"How, how?" the girl's cheeks flushed with excitement. "I'm doing a good job. ”

"Very good. Roy gave her a thumbs up. "But we have to move on!"

The Dark Elf picked up a longsword - his light repeater had been destroyed. Now that's all I have to do with this.

"We have to speed up. ”

The footsteps behind him were getting closer.

However, this is no longer a threat to Roy, who can take a look at the map and turn the unfamiliar labyrinth into his own back garden. With Yasse, who wielded a short bow and a double dagger, he rushed forward at a rapid pace!

Most of the guards in this dungeon are young recruits. Or the old and disabled troops. It didn't take much effort for Roy to deal with these people. In many cases, it didn't even take Roy's sword for Yasai's shortbow to finish them all. Only the guards who clearly belonged to some 'big man' could cause them a little trouble.

However, it is just a troublesome process.

Roy's swordsmanship wasn't superb, but it was enough to hold them back. And whenever there is a gap, Yasai's arrow will immediately shoot into the head of some hapless man. No, Roy still has some gadgets in his pocket. He was well prepared for things like blinding dust, paralyzing spray, and so on.

Soon, they were in the deepest part of the dungeon. Came to Provantus Avinsi.

However, what awaited the two was not the hope of escape. It's like night, dead and silent despair.

"How could it be her......" looked at the dark elf standing with a bow in front of him. Roy's eyes were full of darkness that could not be dissolved.

Ireles, Lord of Snowman's chief guard, a monster capable of wounding dragons with arrows!

The odds of winning the battle are zero!
