The next morning, a faint mist rose from the forest and the riverbank, and the distant scene was even more hazy.

When Luo Lan got rid of Irina's "reluctant" gaze, Cyberdeen stepped forward: "Friend, take this." He took out a dagger from his bosom, and the shiny body of the knife showed a metallic and rigid texture, and as soon as it was exposed to the air, fine droplets of water condensed on it.

Luo Lan took a closer look and said in surprise: "Antitinhan Steel Knife?" This kind of steel knife produced in the East has only been heard in rumors, even among the upper nobles, it is listed as a collection, I didn't expect to see one here, and the other party gave it to himself.

"Just a dagger," Sabertin slipped into his hand with a smile, "take it, you'll be useful." ”

Luo Lan was not polite, he took it very happily: "Thank you." ”

There were no goodbyes, no care, no other words, Luo Lan and Solan led a horse carrying a money bag and walked towards the unknown dense forest under the complicated eyes of everyone, and the rhythmic beating of a one-handed drum sounded on the bank of the river, it was a farewell song to a friend, and the drum was full of excitement mixed with a wisp of heroism.

Right on the edge of the woods where the bandits had disappeared, several trees had been stripped of some of their bark, and several deep marks were drawn on them indicating the route.

"Go there. Solan pointed ahead, and the two of them walked in the direction indicated.

As they descended deeper into the jungle, the soft earth beneath their feet and the scent of grass wafting through their noses. The sound of the one-hand drum faded away.

The already misty fog seemed to be even thicker.

After traveling about a hundred meters, Solan exclaimed, "Here." ”

A sharpened wooden stake, with a branch tied to a random branch, pointed crookedly to the road ahead of them, with a few messy footprints beside it.

Almost a moment before he made a sound, Luo Lan also noticed this place at the same time, but in such a fog, the two figures looked blurry when they were a little far apart, and Solan's gaze could actually see the mark more than five meters away.

Luo Lan looked at the other party playfully, showed a subtle smile, coughed and asked, "Mr. Solan, why didn't they come to us directly and use this troublesome method?"

Solan groaned and explained, "Normally, the robbers don't know what we're going to do next, so in order to prevent us from escaping, they'll pull the group to the front and block our path, leaving only a few people to trade with us. He paused and said, "They are also afraid of being tricked by us." ”

"I see," Luo Lan said suddenly, "It seems that you know these robbers very well. ”

Solan frowned when he heard this, he couldn't help but look back at Luo Lan, and found that the other party's expression was very casual, so he put his mind at ease and coughed dryly: "I have led a caravan for more than ten years, and I know a little bit." ”

The two men continued on their way, keeping an eye on their surroundings, and before long they heard the sound of the stream flowing, so they looked for a second sign.

Luo Lan suddenly shouted "oops" and said, "Mr. Solan, don't you think it's strange that they actually want gold coins?"

Solan was taken aback, looked at him like an idiot, and said, "Mr. Lantiston, robbers don't want gold coins, so what are they doing as robbers?"

Luo Lan emphasized emphatically: "The problem is, they only need gold coins!"

Solan's expression was slightly grim, and he tugged at the corners of his mouth.

It's an overlooked detail.

In addition to the prosperous cities, many remote countryside still use the primitive means of barter, even if the currency is used, only some copper coins and silver coins are used, and because of the inconsistency of coinage, some gold coins are also engraved with family crests, once they are traded or used on a large scale, they will definitely attract the attention of those who are interested.

Gold coins are just the money that circulates in the upper classes.

Ordinary people will not only be useless if they take it, but will cause themselves huge trouble.

Solan's chest rose and fell slightly, his expression was very calm, and he said in a deep voice: "I once said that they may be serving the nobles. ”

"yes, you said that. Luo Lan touched his chin, revealing a thoughtful expression, and said: "However, not only the nobles can do this, but other forces can also do it, such as the Chamber of Commerce, or the thieves group, and then ......."

Solan coldly interrupted him, "Mr. Rantiston, I admire your imagination, but these are not things you should be concerned about right now. ”

Luo Lan let out an "ah", patted his head and said, "You are right. ”

Solan snorted, turned his head and led his horse along the stream.

But along the way, Luo Lan always asked some strange questions, and every sentence was to the point, Solan seemed to feel very hot, he pulled his neckline from time to time, and when he was very impatient, he finally found another mark. So he walked forward in a few steps in a row, as if to get rid of this annoying guy.

"Is it the last stop? Mr. Channonbel?"

Solan said without thinking: "It should be ......" He turned his head suddenly, touched his hand to his waist, and said, "What did you say?"

"Are you looking for this?" Luo Lan flipped a dagger in his hand: "As a thief, you should take care of your dagger." ”

Solan took a few steps back: "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Luo Lan exclaimed: "It's really a very exquisite performance, as a disguised thief, your acting skills are very good, if I didn't know your details in advance, I'm afraid you would have hidden the past." He sighed twice and said with a look of admiration: "If this plan is successful, you will not only get a great fortune, but also gain a good reputation for being brave and responsible, as for the responsibility of being robbed by the caravan, it will naturally not fall on you, the deputy leader, I really admire." ”

Solan's face changed greatly, he rushed forward without saying a word, but he was hit in the face by a flying punch, and he immediately lay on the ground with gold stars in his eyes.

Luo Lan slowly stepped forward a few times to lift his joints, shook his head and sighed, "Compared to your wisdom, your martial arts skills are really too weak. He fumbled around the other man's face for a moment, and after a while, he tore off a fake mask and skin, revealing a lewd man in his thirties with a pale complexion.

Luo Lan rummaged around and said with emotion: "Sure enough, it's a camouflage mask, I have performed many missions and didn't get it, it seems that your contribution is quite high." ”

Solan was already sweating in pain, and when he heard this, he was shocked and said, "Who are you?"

Luo Lan smiled, and in Solan's reddened gaze, he completely put away the mask, and he took a moment to say, "I used to be a member of the Evil Thieves Group. ”

There are many members of the Evil Thieves, they are full of various industries, Solan is one of them, he is a caravan leader, but he is actually a three-star disguised thief.

In addition to some members of the thieves group who specialize in performing tasks, while others are members like Solan who earn contributions by paying a certain amount of money, he himself does not have strong martial arts, and he is completely dependent on the contribution level of the three star thieves.

They usually act independently, and when they reach a certain star level, they are also qualified to become the head of a certain area or branch of the regiment. And they don't need to worry about their own martial arts falling behind, because they can also use the same method to increase their contribution in exchange for some powerful skills within the same organization.

Luo Lan led the horse over and sighed, "So much money." "He seemed to be struggling with how to spend the money.

"Ahh

Solan screamed angrily, he had been planning for this plan for more than half a year, and had spent countless efforts and energy, making such a big deal actually made the other party shamelessly plagiarize, and he couldn't help but be angry, and the corners of his mouth actually overflowed with blood, but he couldn't dream of where the other party learned his identity?

This can only be blamed for his bad luck, Luo Lan not only found some unique cultivation methods from the memory of the "Black Shadow", but also some fragmentary memory fragments, including the information of Solan who was active on the road to the free city-state, perhaps the "Black Shadow" was also very interested in him.

Solan was discouraged, his face turned pale, and he said hatefully: "The Mel people who cooperate with me will not let you go if they can't receive the money!"

"The life or death of the caravan has nothing to do with me. Luo Lan shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "But thank you for the reminder, I won't let go of anyone who may expose the clues of my actions, he will come to accompany you soon." ”

He flicked the blade of the dagger with his fingers, slowly aiming it at Solan's heart.

"No!" Knowing that he would die, Solan was still terrified and unwilling to face it.

Luo Lan seemed to think of something, his movements suddenly stopped, and said, "To answer my question, I don't know how Mr. Solan views the profession of thieves?"

Solan wriggled and yelled, panting, "I don't know, I don't know anything. ”

Luo Lan sighed and said, "You are not the person I am looking for. ”

Thieves do not have any position of justice and evil, they only have interests in their eyes, interests determine everything they do, it is because of this that they are spurned by other professions on the continent, they look at the world coldly in the dark corners, ready to swing a fatal blow at any time, for thousands of years, this huge underground kingdom has operated perfectly, they have infiltrated all systems in the world, and there have been countless wars between bandit groups, and there are their shadows behind the scenes of strife on the continent.

Whoever wins this war of thieves will be able to control everything in the underworld in the dark!

The dagger fell, and all sound came to an abrupt halt.

At the moment before Solan was dying, Luo Lan picked up the other party's hair and said dreamily: Look into my eyes and see what you can tell me......

Slowly letting go of Solan's corpse, Luo Lan put on the latter's camouflage mask and walked silently through the fog, walking step by step towards the next target.
