Volume 8 The Rise of the Undead! Chapter 7: The Discovery of the Card
Daon Thieves Guild Branch. [Full text reading.]
Like most branches, it is located in the heart of the town, and although Sedaon does not have a real city, there are more luxuriant bazaars.
As usual, Ca-Sabrandomon walked into the main entrance of what appeared to be a large armory shop, and after a casual greeting to a one-eyed middle-aged man, he stepped into a very ordinary-looking room at the back, lifted a cover, pulled the rope downward, and slid it down with a heavy slam over his head, blocking out all sounds.
Falling to the bottom, there is a spacious underground hall, and the chandelier hanging high is still very bright, although it is a notch off the bright sunlight outside.
A dozen thieves with sneaky action are standing in front of the quest card and perusing their next mission, while from time to time there are thieves entering and exiting through a dozen other passages, or entering the closed windows like small fortresses with iron fences to hand in the mission.
Ka knew that there were several beautiful women sitting behind the bars, and every time he saw this, he would cry out for them. It's not because their beautiful looks are hidden, it's because they've learned enough to be forced to drink a drug that makes them forget what they should forget, and if they can't, they lose consciousness altogether.
Beautiful youth, Ka sighed as if he was as sensational, and then he walked towards his destination.
No one greeted him, and no one knew him. Because he is also walking a dark road.
From the outside, you will definitely be mistaken for thinking that this is also a passage to the outside world.
It didn't take long for him to come to the end, open a door, and slowly paced in, the same stone space, except that he could come and go as he pleased.
He sat down with a relaxed expression, picked up the parchment file on the table, which had a large stack every day, and flipped through it.
Look through the intellect from all over Sedaon and sort it out, picking out valuable ones to present to headquarters. It's one of his daily jobs.
Having masterminded the whole of Sedaon for Ondor, he seems to have returned to the laid-back state of his first entry into the Thieves' Guild, a job he has mastered so easily, and many people don't understand why he has so easily given up so much effort over the past ten years. In response, he could only smile faintly.
How can they read their own minds?
All the planning and layout is just a puzzle in his life, and when one puzzle is solved, he needs to challenge another puzzle that is more difficult. He wandered around the thieves' guild every day, searching, and very pleasantly and carefully looking for news worthy of his attention.
He is always on the lookout for noteworthy people or events. Hopefully some valuable clues can be found in it.
At this moment, his hand suddenly stopped, and a report stopped in his hand. The above name couldn't help but catch his attention.
"Atocimath-Nasso. ”
He shrugged his brow, gently pulled the information out of the stack of parchments, and cast his gaze on the date and place below. Well, sure enough, it's a stamped to Sedaon.
It may be that the name is inconspicuous on the continent of Apollo, but within the Thieves Guild. This name is definitely one of the top ten assassins of the new generation, a young thief who is not more than twenty-five years old, but who is rumored to have broken through the level of the middle eighth level. Stepped into the ranks of high-level thieves.
Although Ka was skeptical that he could achieve such a high level of achievement at such a young age, no matter what, it was up to strength to gain a foothold in the Thieves' Guild. This is a true shadow thief who has assassinated more than a dozen of the most famous powerhouses on the continent. There are many members of the Mage Society, and unlike ordinary thieves, mid-level and above thieves have the right to choose tasks, which means that they are free to accept or decline assigned tasks.
And Thodozimath usually takes on some tasks that others dare not take, and attacks selectively, that is, those who are assassinated by him are carefully selected by him.
So far, he has not failed.
Why did such a bold and assassin man come to Sedaon? There seemed to be no one in Ka's memory who deserved so much attention.
He continued to look down, but he was fixed in one place.
It was a bright red fire paint, and the Thieves' Guild's rapier seal was clearly distinguished.
The scroll is cleverly folded underneath, hiding its contents.
Hmm, this is still a restricted piece of information, and he can't decipher it with his authority, however, he smiled, stretched out his fingers, and picked the fire paint there unconcernedly
Read the contents directly.
If the head of the thief branch was here, he would have pointed that fake finger at him with his lips trembling, and then cursed, and finally tried to cover it up, because he had too many handles in the card's hand.
As expected, it was an assassination mission, and there was nothing attractive about the mission itself, he was only interested in the person who was assassinated, and he wanted to know if it was someone he knew or knew well.
Huh, the name of a man on it immediately caught his attention.
"Lundit Landiston. ”
He frowned rarely, this family ......
He straightened up, pulled the scroll a little closer, and continued to look down closely, looking at it, he gradually showed a look of interest.
This mission is very interesting, because there is not only one employer who wants to kill this person, but the Thieves Guild has not paid attention to it before, so the people sent before have failed.
This time, however, the task was not submitted to the guild by ordinary employers, but by the current representative of the Thieves' Guild in Sedaon, the Counsellor Colles.
It's interesting, it's really interesting.
After reading through the cause and effect, combined with the information he had before, Ka immediately grasped the subtle psychology of Colles. He smiled slightly, and his popular face showed an extraordinary brilliance.
Colles, you're still in too much of a hurry, it's just that Sedaon is still your time to perform.
For some reason, he was interested in the man who went by the pseudonym Langton, who was actually a missionary.
He thought about it for a while, and immediately turned over the files of the previous months, including some important information collected from various aspects, and soon, he sorted out the clues and found a few key points.
Because the preacher had been the target of the assassination at the request of his employer, there was a simple record of when he arrived in Sedaon, when he appeared there, and what he did, but when he looked down, he was shocked to find that there was a period of time that was blank, that is, there was no clue.
Ka pondered for a moment, and he smiled slightly.
He immediately set about sorting out the dossier of the more important events that had occurred in Sedaon during that blank period, including some information and records of the swamp tribe.
And one thing caught his attention, well, that time, it was the day of the Swamp Clan's Athletic City Kacamilla's riot, as a member of the Thieves' Guild, he knew very well that the Freedom Mutual Aid Society was formed with the support of the Thieves' Guild in order to delay the Swamp Clan's march towards the human world, but during that time, the vice president of the Mutual Aid Society was killed.
Is there any connection between the two?
Although he couldn't see anything on the surface, he always vaguely felt that there was always a little bit involved.
Suspicion is just suspicion, and in the absence of sufficient intelligence, no final conclusion can be made.
So he gave up this clue for the time being, and turned his attention to Luo Lan's whereabouts when he had arrived in Sedaon earlier.
But there is nothing more valuable than a few words of confession.
He stood up, walked a few steps in place, and passed on the teacher, that was the information of the diocese of Mosha, and he did not have it here. If the file is adjusted, it is impossible without the authority of the branch president.
He let out a soft breath and folded the parchment file again. Then, he stared closely at the shattered fire paint, his eyes revealing a bit of strange brilliance, and gradually, the fire paint that had been scattered on the table like particles began to slowly melt again, and they slowly wriggled like thick dense oil, rolling towards the parchment roll, and then, slowly merging with the remaining fire paint on it, and finally returning to the appearance of the guild's signature, which was exactly the same as when it was opened before.
Ka's face turned slightly pale, and he took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, alas, it's really hard, and it seems that this talent will be used less in the future.
However, this matter has to be taken seriously, Landison......
His gaze gradually became solemn, and at the same time, there was a faint expectation and excitement, if it was really a member of the family, it would not be so easy to offend, in case this person was really killed, it would lead to a series of serious consequences.
Moreover, this assassination mission was not only because the person was already on the assassination list, but also because of Coles's personal desires.
Hmph, you're too much to breathe.
He looked at the names on the file again.
Looks like I'm going to have to pay attention to it myself.
