"Mediocre thieves complete tasks, brilliant thieves plot plots. ———— Thieves' Codex

Luo Lan went all the way back to his room and closed the door tightly.

A feeling of fatigue hit his upper body, and in just a few minutes, he felt like he had experienced a thrilling battle.

Trying to muster up, he carefully searched all suspicious places, and until he was sure that there was nothing unusual, he walked behind the door, rolled up his sleeves slowly, and gently groped his arms. Finally, as soon as his fingers stopped, he slowly tore off a thin layer of "skin", and in the process of tearing, he frowned slightly.

"Snort. ”

With a soft thud, the "skin" was completely torn off, and the back was covered with bloodstains.

This is a piece of fake skin that can be messed up, it is one of the necessary props to disguise thieves, generally used to cover wounds and easily recognizable physical features, but the disadvantages are also obvious, if the wound is attached for too long, it will cause ulceration, and in severe cases, it will not even heal.

Speaking of which, Agne's sword today was a great help, otherwise Zod would have managed to injure him and then check his identity.

Thinking of the danger of that black shadow, he couldn't help but feel awe, in his memory, it seemed that only "that person" had brought him such a huge sense of oppression.

But in comparison, Count Zodd is a person who can't really see through.

He picked up the badge in his hand and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look.

It resembles a kite-shaped shield, and its intricately crafted ornaments are engraved with flashy wind dew flowers and griffons.

Indeed, this is just a badge.

Although the right of inheritance was granted, everything related to it, including castles, title deeds, grain shops, livestock, forges, leather shops, etc., was not mentioned by the earl, so it was only a symbolic ornament, and he only circulated within the family, and his role was not even worth a will.

It's just an ornament that doesn't weigh more than any verbal promise.

But......

A smile gradually appeared on Luo Lan's face, and a scorching light shot out of his eyes,

He reached out and pressed his stomach and rubbed it slowly.

Moments later......

"Poof!"

He opened his mouth and spat out a ring.

This Thieves' Storage Ring can hold a total of four Thieves' tools.

He remembered eating stones and then spitting them out until he was able to control the peristalsis of his stomach, and how he risked his life to perform a mission that only three five-star thieves could perform before being rewarded with the ring.

He put in enough effort just to harvest a fruit that was ripe enough.

He opened the spatial prohibition of the ring and took out three things from it.

A dagger, a row of flying needles, and a badge that was almost identical to the one on his hand.

He looked left and right, holding his breath as he slowly closed the backs of the two badges.

"Cards. ”

From the junction of the two spat out a long strip of metal with a toothed protrusion at the tip.

It's shaped like a key.

Luo Lan exhaled softly, and there was ecstasy in his eyes that could not be concealed.

That's what I really want.

He had thought of countless possibilities and several elaborate plans, but he had never imagined that it would be so easy to get.

The thieves would never have imagined that he would learn a secret that the Lantiston family had been hiding for years long before he was given the mission.

And there are two keys to this secret.

One is this incomplete badge, and the other is this room.

For hundreds of years, this room was inhabited by the eldest son of the Landiston family.

He walked towards the west wall, where there was a stone fireplace.

The years have left mottled marks on its body.

Luo Lan squatted down, his hand reached in, and after a while, his expression moved, with the strong concave and convex feeling on his hand, he could tell that this was a hideous-looking beast relief. He fit very well with what he knew of the clues, and continued to grope for it, and when he touched the forehead of the relief, his fingers felt a hole that was concave inward, and he took a deep breath, moved the long end of the badge in his hand there, and then slowly inserted it, and turned it a little more.

"Click. ”

Like the sound of a machine moving, a stone slab rumbled to the side under the fireplace, revealing a deep hole with a row of stone steps leading downward.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he whispered, "Who?"

Almost at the same moment he had risen to the mouth of the cave and threw himself at the mouth of the cave by a fraction of a second, as if something had swept over the back of his head.

There was a fluctuation in the air, and a black shadow that seemed to have no substance quickly moved to this entrance, the dagger in his hand exuded a faint blue glow, facing a few strands of broken hair falling in the air, he looked at the dark and deep Yongdao without saying a word, in the dim light, his body gradually faded again, and then dissolved into the surrounding air like a wisp of smoke.

At this moment, if someone holds a lamp to illuminate this place, they will find clear footprints on the dusty stone steps of the corridor, but its owner does not see the body at all, and is walking towards the next step according to a certain rhythm.

The stone steps are unexpectedly long, after descending more than a hundred steps, the black shadow feels that it has gone deep into the ground thirty or forty meters underground, and the corridor has finally come to an end, here is nothing but darkness or darkness, with the flow of air, he realized that this should be a large underground hall, and there is another hole leading to the ground, it seems that the choice is correct, the black shadow is satisfied with his judgment, he suddenly let out a low laugh: "I want to ask a question, how did you find me?"

Behind a stone pillar supporting the hall not far away, Luo Lan leaned there with a dagger in his hand, aiming at the source of the sound, he didn't think that it was just a flying needle thrown out, and then regardless of the result, he quickly moved to another place.

It took him almost two years to master this skill, and he could accurately hit a target of no less than five centimeters within 10 meters.

"Ding!"

The metal needle bullet made a crisp crash against the stone wall.

The voice of the black shadow sounded again: "The disguised thieves are really a group of guys who can play any trick. ”

Luo Lan was shocked, the other party actually knew his true identity? Could it be that he was actually a member of the thieves group?

But the other party gave him the feeling that it was clearly the black shadow beside the earl.

However, this thought only swirled in his mind for a moment, and he quickly put it aside, no matter what, the immediate crisis was what he really needed to face at the moment.

He could conclude that he had never deviated from the target from the position he had just attacked, but it was impossible for the other party to dodge the most difficult flying needle purely by perception.

The Thief, though strong at night vision, still needs light, and now he has nothing.

The only explanation is that the source of the other person's voice is not the same as the location in which it is.

Sound shifting!

Use special techniques to make sounds to bounce off objects, or move your body at high speed while making sounds.

Either way, the identity of the other party is already coming out of the way if someone has such skills.

Shadow Thieves!

The king of the night!

A killer among thieves who specializes in assassination and ambush!

As a thief, Luo Lan knew their horror deeply, and he had heard the "man" who taught him repeatedly emphasize not to fight with such thieves in the dark. He vividly remembered the words that had been admonished him: "In that situation, you are only a prey." ”

He smiled wryly, if he had a choice, how could he face the Shadow Thieves in the darkness?

Do you really have no chance at all?

This is not the case.

This is a duel between two cultivation skills of the same profession.

He could see that the other party also harbored a deep fear of him.

Because no one will ever know how many tricks a disguised thief has mastered, how many ways to attack.

The shadow thief can only use the environment to conceal all the senses of the target, and swinging the dagger behind the back is the safest way to attack, and just a moment ago, Luo Lan discovered the black shadow's whereabouts without warning, which undoubtedly made the black shadow's confidence in himself shaken a little, if he didn't find out the reason, I believe he wouldn't attack easily again.

Since this is the case, Luo Lan decides to create more illusions to confuse his opponent.

He took out an object resembling a spinning top from the prop ring, dragged it with a thin line behind it, rubbed his fingers, and spun it around, and with a few squirting sounds, the object realistically simulated the footsteps of a person moving carefully.

Luo Lan believed that the black shadow must be searching for him at this moment, due to the different majors, the other party was undoubtedly superior to him in terms of senses, either by sensing body temperature, or by smell, or by relying on the flow of air, in short, he had to find a safe hiding place before the other party noticed him.

And the most suitable hiding place now is undoubtedly the place where he attacked with a flying needle just now, which is also the source of the black shadow's suspicious voice, and the other party could not have imagined that he would hide there anyway.

He kept moving, tugging at the thin thread from time to time, keeping it moving, continuing to make footsteps disturb his opponent's senses.

It's getting closer and closer to that location.

Suddenly, he felt something strange about the temperature around him.

He quickly held the dagger across his heart.

At the same time, his arm shook, and the horizontal side of the dagger "ding" sounded a killing sound.

Luo Lan never expected that the other party would really be here this time!
