After leaving the workshop, Haruka and Im rode out of the city in a carriage.

"Is it just a simple mission? It seems that it can be easily accomplished. Haruka thought back to the previous conversation and said to Im, who was sitting next to him.

"The lost Excalibur seems to have fallen into the hands of thieves on the outskirts of the city, and if it were a simple thief, this task would not have been completed for so long. ”

"Are you worried that we won't be strong enough to defeat each other?"

"It's not, after all, with you here, even if you fight with the demons, you won't be left behind, let alone some human thieves. ”

"So, let's complete the commission as soon as possible. Haruka pulled out the silver pseudo-artifact Amaterasu Sword from his waist, "I didn't expect that businessman named Edward to be so generous, and directly advanced the reward to me, aren't you afraid that I will run away like this?"

"You're the famous Black Sword Lady, wouldn't it be a joke if you don't have any credit. ”

"Yes. ”

"It's noon now, let's find a way to get the job done before dark. ”

And so the carriage sped along the main road of Fars. After arriving at the city gates, the two men paid the driver of the carriage, bought two horses, and headed for the thieves' lair according to the map provided by Edward. About seven or eight miles northwest of Fars was a small hilly area of low shrubs interspersed with low hills, where thieves' dens were hidden.

"At first glance, you can't even see the enemy's lair. Haruka and Im dismounted, and tied the reins of their horses to a shrub that was low for a moment.

"If it's so easy to spot, it's not a thief's lair. Im bent up, climbed a small slope, and surveyed the hills in the distance.

"Let me directly use the wide-area exploration magic to investigate?" Haruka took a stance, and was about to summon the Yaki Snake, but Yimu on the side grabbed him with his hand.

"Stop! you're just going to startle the snake. ”

"Huh?"

"If the other party has a high-ranking magician, you will be aware of it the moment you activate the detection magic, so that the other party will be on guard. ”

"Uh, sorry. ”

"Follow me and use stealth magic to move. Im's body slowly sank into the hills.

"Hey, Mr. Yimu, can your stealth magic be used again? wasn't it captured by Calante before?"

"It was just that he couldn't use it at the time, and the next day all the magic was restored, and it seems that his abilities can only take effect for a short time, and if it's permanent, I don't know which guy will become what kind of monster. ”

"I see. ”

"Let's gossip here, let's focus on the task at hand. Im warned, and Haruka followed her into the hills.

Moving along the shadows of the hills, Im soon spotted the marks left by the thieves on some of the trails.

"The notches on these broken pieces of wood are artificially marked. Imu leaned over and lifted the weeds from the ground with his hand, revealing some very hidden broken trees, and followed the notch as he walked forward, and soon found a cave hidden behind the small hill, even though it was obscured by dense shrubs, but some of the beast's teeth were embedded in the rock wall of the hill, and it was assumed that it was the entrance to the lair.

"It's amazing, you found it so quickly, Mr. Yimu, you seem to be very good at this kind of thing. ”

"It's just some very basic reconnaissance skills, nothing to fuss about, just follow quietly. Im slowly drew his dagger from behind him and quickly disappeared into the ground. Haruka hurriedly followed, but in the blink of an eye, the two guard robbers at the entrance of the cave had fallen silently in a pool of blood, their throats were neatly slit, and they were assassinated by Yim before they could make any sound.

“。。。。。。 Looking at the deaths of the two, Haruka couldn't help but feel a little afraid that he had fought with such a ruthless killer.

"Why are you still stunned? Yim flicked the dagger lightly, shook off the blood from the blade, and disappeared into the dim hole.

The interior of the cave is more spacious than expected, even with night vision skills, but the intricate structure of the cave still makes Haruka's pace a little slow, as the smell of blood in the cave becomes stronger and stronger, Haruka has gradually distanced himself from Yimu, probably the bloodstains left by Yimu, so that Haruka can follow the bloodstains and the corpses of the robbers who were assassinated along the way, so as not to lose his way.

After walking a few hundred meters deeper into the cave, the originally dead silence of the cave suddenly heard the sound of swords colliding, followed by a loud crashing sound.

"Damn?!'s there's a fight going on inside!" he said, and the end of the passage suddenly opened up, and he saw a huge underground cavity appear in front of him, which was a very suitable lair for thieves, and among the rocks he could see thieves piling up debris, as well as some beds and cabinets.

"Teacher Yimu?!" Yao looked around, except for a few thieves who had already been killed, there was no trace of Yimu. "Damn, it's still inside!" he turned his gaze to a wooden door in the deepest part of the room.

"Bang-" Before Haruka could act, a figure smashed through the wooden door and flew out of it, and then fell heavily in front of Haruka. When I looked closely, it was Yim who was already hurting in front of me.

"It's not in vain that I've waited so long to finally meet again! Human!" A one-armed man in crimson armor walked out slowly from the depths of the cave......
