Chapter 11: The Thief (I)

On the third day after the baptism, Luo Lan quietly returned to his temporary residence after declining the banquet invitations of several big nobles.

In a hidden room, he and Irina begin plotting the details of the theft of the Life Stone.

His astonishing memory was on full display at this point, drawing every nook and cranny of the room where the Living Stone was placed on the parchment scroll, and deducing it with Irina to discuss possible contingencies.

What he knew was basically the same as what Irina knew.

Except for the same......

"Hey, there's such a thread?" Irina couldn't help but be surprised. She couldn't help but frown and think about it.

Savvy thieves can see where no one can see, and find deadly traps hidden in the corners, so they won't let go of even the slightest detail.

Thieves who lament the subtlety of traps and traps will only provoke the laughter of their peers.

"Yes, this may be something that the teacher didn't expect. Luo Lan paced back and forth in the room for two steps, and muttered: "I have been baptized under the Life Stone for about an hour, and I really can't see it if I don't look closely, it stands to reason that the Life Stone should have hovered in the air, but there is a thin wire tied to it, is this thin line a mechanism or just a line?"

Irina dragged her cheeks, thought about it carefully, and said, "There can't be any magic fluctuations near the Life Stone, Senior Brother, do you remember that we can't put out the simulated magic circle?" That's because the triangle between the Life Stone and the three Trial Stones only has a momentary equilibrium point, so I think that thin line should have been used to hang it when I was looking for a balance point." ”

Luo Lan nodded again and again and agreed: "What you said is very reasonable, and there is a great possibility, but this is still just your guess." We can't prove it anymore, if it goes wrong......"

Irina waved her hand lightly and interrupted him: "Senior brother, we can't calculate everything perfectly, there are accidents and accidents, this is the fun of our thieves, and the reason why we exist. ”

"You're right," Luo Lan stood up, he walked to the window, then stopped and turned to look at Irina and said, "There is a more than sixty percent chance of winning!" He exhaled slowly and said, "This is already a high probability of winning." ”

Irina's beautiful eyes lit up and said, "If you add the cooperation between Senior Brother and me, at least you can add two percent of the chances of winning." ”

"Eighty?" Luo Lan laughed and said, "Are you overestimating our energy?"

No wonder he laughs, because "eighty percent" is the jargon of thieves, for example, when a thief wants to perform a task, and someone asks him if he is sure of completing the task, he says eighty percent, which means that there is no mistake and he will succeed.

Irina smiled and said, "Isn't Senior Brother unconfident?"

Luo Lan laughed out loud, and after a while, he stopped laughing, stared at Irina with burning eyes and said, "Since my junior sister is so sure, then I will accompany you to the end." ”

Irina smiled lightly and said, "In this case, we have to start as soon as possible, if the three bishops suddenly let you leave here, or if the Holy See has any assignments, it will be difficult to have a chance to come back at that time." ”

Luo Lan nodded silently, he waved at Irina and said, "Now I can talk about your plan of how to enter the Priest's Tower." ”

Irina was silent, and finally sighed faintly and said, "Senior brother, if I die, will you be happy." ”

Luo Lan's heart froze, he stood up straight, and said in surprise: "Senior sister, what do you mean by this?"

Irina shook her head, and then silently pulled out a strange-shaped dagger from her side, this dagger had a long, twisted spike at the front end, but the back end was no different from a normal dagger, even a blood groove. Irina's white fingers stroked it, "Since I have nominally become your prayer master and fiancΓ©e, if I suddenly suffer a serious injury that cannot be uncovered by divine magic, and you need to use the Life Stone to heal me, this should be a reasonable excuse, right?"

Luo Lan was a little surprised, then looked at her seriously and said: "Senior sister, you have to think carefully, although your idea is good, but the door of the priest's white tower to the baptismal room needs to be opened by three bishops at the same time, I can't guarantee that they will do it for me." If you ask me how sure I am......" He paused, and then said word by word: "Thirty percent at most!"

"They will open the door for you," Irina Mei looked convinced of this, and she said slowly: "Senior brother, you are the only missionary teacher in the past five years, and various dioceses will try to win you over, such a good opportunity to sell favors is in front of them, and they don't have to spend a lot of effort on their own, I think, they will definitely agree." ”

Luo Lan laughed self-deprecatingly, shook his head and said, "It's very risky. He raised his head and looked at Irina solemnly and said, "You are gambling with your life!"

"Gambling on your life?" Irina suddenly smiled sadly, and slowly stretched out her hand, she slowly pulled her veil in Luo Lan's strange eyes, and suddenly, a peerless jade face appeared in front of her, where was there any birthmark scar on that half of her cheeks, it was clearly a delicate and smooth skin that made people breathe for a while, her facial features were all delicate and perfect, like the goddess statue carved by the most outstanding master with his life's work, but this statue is flesh and blood, and it is a combination of countless emotions in the world.

Just by looking at it, there is a feeling of dazzleness.

Irina smiled like self-pity, which immediately made Luo Lan's heart beat a lot faster, she bit her lower lip and said, "Senior brother, I owe you a favor if you lose a chance to save your life with the Stone of Life." If there is still a chance, I will definitely pay you back. ”

With that, she suddenly raised her dagger and stabbed it hard at her chest.

Luo Lan suddenly felt his heart tighten, he moved his mouth, but he didn't stop it.

Irina opened her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it, and then fell limply on the bed, her eyes closed, as if she had lost consciousness.

Luo Lan stared at the wound for a while, as if he was thinking about something, he knew that the dagger was pierced in the heart from the outside, but it was actually passing through the gap next to the heart, but at this moment, if someone attacked Irina, or moved the dagger position, it would really end her life.

Irina seems to be asleep, and her tranquil jade face still has a breathtaking charm at the moment.

Luo Lan waited for a moment, until the red blood stains slowly appeared, slowly flowing to the floor, and then he stood up with determination, stepped forward and put the veil on Irina gently, and then carefully pillowed her between his arms like a lover, and walked slowly outside.

A deep chill rolled on the avenue with the sound of the wheels, and Luo Lan drove the car, his eyes shining strangely towards the bishop's residence in the diocese.

Tonight is the night of the moon.

PS: There is one more chapter tonight, and it is expected that this volume will end tomorrow, and the questions raised by some book friends will be answered tomorrow.
