Chapter 223: The Valley and the Letters

My name is Akatosh,

I received a black letter~

—4E, 201, Moon of the Fire, 1st, 12:11 —

So, the current thieves' guild has become a dog-eat-dog tool among those nobles? ’

[Pretty much, none of the thefts that happened near Rift Valley City had anything to do with them, and they were basically thieves with identities similar to those two guys you kicked into the river. 】

'Well, how are the two thieves doing?' I remember calling ...... Black sea rats? I looked at the heavily armored heels on my feet, which were inexplicably sharp, and observed a three-second silence for them.

[It's 'Draf' and 'Henon Black Snow Mouse', who are working in a familiar fishing ground by the lake, and are completely afraid to commit any criminal activities.] A new light screen pops up, showing the images of two fishermen.

Ignore them and continue to watch what Emile does. ’

I was sitting in a chair in my hotel room, chatting with the stupid system and watching the live broadcast projected in the air.

Although I didn't interfere with the contact between these two people and the Thieves' Guild at all, they still successfully joined and successfully met through different channels, and at this time, they carried out the mission as a combination of "masters" and "newcomers".

Several split screens show Amir and her henchmen approaching a Skuma manufacturing den hidden in a valley near Rift City, where the Skuma traffickers are laughing and having fun around the so-called 'arena', with no intention of guarding the surrounding area.

Known as the "Valley of the Cracked Helmet", this is where the previous batch of tree spirits disguised as fir trees arrive, where they extract the sap of those tree spirits and mix them with moon candy bought from the tigermen to create an alchemical potion called Skuma.

Although it can heal wounds and restore physical strength, it is also seriously hallucinogenic and addictive, not so much a medicine as a poison, a product, and it is strictly forbidden to sell in any territory, even the Black Thorn family in Rift City does not dare to touch the sky, and its current head Marwen Black Thorn immediately sent a commission to the Thieves Guild to destroy this den after learning about it.

In my opinion, that powerful old lady should have known that there was such a thing, but she had been secretly collecting evidence, just waiting for an opportunity to uproot them - such as now that this matter was accidentally exposed, otherwise, how could she directly point out the location of that valley to the Thieves Guild as soon as the incident broke out, and then turn her head to deal with the family behind it without hesitation?

As for the Skuma dealers in the valley, I can only say that their hearts are really big, and the front foot hires the Dark Brotherhood to kill the mercenaries who handle this matter in order to cover up the truth, and the back foot is to capture the tiger warrior monks in order to make their usual entertainment more exciting, and the nobles who support them behind them do not have such arrogant capital.

If the Thieves' Guild's day-to-day freelance work were all about this kind of task, they could change their name to 'The Rogue Guild'. ’

[That's because there was a master thief who wielded a big gon razor from nowhere to forbid them to attack ordinary residents, and Mercer Frey, who didn't care about reputation, was also hidden from God by a certain Holy Spirit.] 】

'Yes, they will refer to the deer as a horse. ’

[Doesn't it mean that Sang scolds Huai? 】

'Hmm......'

The FZ world stupid system is still a bit cute.,As a result, it only collected one doomsday element and entered the rebellious period.,If it collects all the sixteen doomsday elements in this world.,Will it touch its beard and yell at me, "What kind of system"? That's not going to work.

While the stupid system was still waiting for me to reply, I went back directly, and Song Jiade grabbed the little black dragon and rubbed it.

[Woo woo woo ......]

Well, it's much more pleasing to the eye.

“…… Parry, you assault head-on. By this time the master and servant had approached the entrance to the valley, and Amir had said this to her attendant, and the figure disappeared from the light screen completely.

From my point of view, although the guards on the outside of this small valley are loose, there are still many guards inside, but their purpose is not to guard against foreign invaders, but to prevent the "fighters" who are forced to fight each other suddenly bite back, and the little princess has a surprising instinct to sneak towards the place where the "fighters" are being held.

"She has faith in me, but I'm not the outnumbered barbarian of Tassilius." Parasos muttered, pulling his ebony bow from behind his back and aiming it at a trap at Taniguchi's trigger to shoot.

Bang! Rumble! A hanging flaming oil pot snaps its tether, and after falling, it ignites a large area of oil on the ground, creating a fire and smoke that instantly attracts the attention of the Skumar traders and guards deep in the valley.

This method is actually quite good, not only does it attract Amir's attention, but it is also covered by a fire, and the other party can't see how many people are coming from Taniguchi. ’

[But since this task is entrusted to the Thieves Guild, don't you just hope that they will solve it quietly? 】

So you are stupid, Mrs. Marwen wants the matter to be resolved quietly under her control, and Sapphire and Xiao Fu must have seen it, but still sent this "rookie adventurer" to carry it out, which proves that they want to make a big deal out of it. ’

[Hmm...... Planning to break free from the Black Thorn family's control? It's rare for a stupid system to be shrewd.

After all, it is a problem left over from history, and it may be difficult to get rid of it for a while, but if you keep obeying her, it is completely impossible to get rid of it. ’

[Who caused the 'problems left over from history'? 】

'How do I know~'

Although Mercer Frey is quite annoying in the game and keeps making trouble, but now without his participation, the Thieves' Guild was almost annexed, but fortunately I had the foresight to strengthen the sapphire, hahaha.

"Boy, it's not the right time for you to get lost." "We'll kill you and take your money." "You're dead."

After all, it was just a layer of fire oil, and the burning time was very short, and a dozen strong men in iron armor and horned helmets had already surrounded Palasos at the entrance of the valley, but it seemed that they did not directly move out of fear of the equipment on his body.

Compared to the large-scale armor forged from easily available copper and iron, the emery dwarven equipment from the dwarven ruins, the bronze orc equipment carefully crafted by the orc weaponsmiths, and the rarer ebony equipment of the masters who can forge them with materials that are only produced in a limited number of mines, can make people feel very uncomfortable visually.

'If he wears a demon or dragon bone equipment, will the other party directly scare him away?' ’

[I can't run, because I don't know each other at all.] 】

‘…… Reasonable. ’

"I heard in the hotel in Rift Valley that there's a gang of bandits entrenched here, and it seems to be true," Palasos began his performance on the screen, "Come on!" I'm in a hurry. ”

"Ha, it turned out to be a 'hero'," a Nord man who was a head taller than the other guards came out, with a cyan orc heavy armor on his body and an orc hammer in his hand that was unusually conspicuous: "But Rift is not a place for heroes, I will accept this ebony armor." ”

Not? Are you going to go head-to-head?

"Let's go together! Give me a blunt weapon, and smash that kid inside, and no one is allowed to cut 'my' armor with a sharp weapon!" With a swing of his hammer, the big man rushed over with a group of robbers.

"Hell!" Palacos turned and ran, and the Skuma traders in the valley who had been watching it at first burst into laughter.

Well, at least his attention-grabbing effect was achieved. After deciding that it was impossible for the sidekick to be caught, I simply turned off his camera and went to Emile in stealth, and after switching the display mode a few times, her pale red figure appeared near the place where the "fighter" was being held.

It was a deep pit at the back of the valley, covered with a layer of iron mesh, and a ring of barely rain-proof ear holes in the walls around the bottom was the residence of the "fighters", and there was no way to escape except for the only passage with multiple locks.

And these "fighters" are basically composed of tigermen, wurmians, dark elves and other unpopular races, and occasionally one or two guys who seem to be humans, just from the wild light in their eyes, they can also be seen that they are actually werewolves.

It can only be said that these Skuma dealers, who have made a fortune, are not bold enough to catch ordinary people and fight them, after all, no one can protect them. ’

[Even at this level, they are finished. 】

On the screen, Emile skilfully opened the cage door one by one, then struck the head of a tigerman who didn't look too reckless, and when he looked up in exasperation, he saw that the road to the ground was open.

"Uh......" The tiger man looked around, but saw no one, so he said into the air: "Whoever you are, I have written down this favor to Sa-Red, and if you need me to do anything in the future, I will not hesitate to do it." ”

'Who told this key NPC of the Thieves Guild questline how it was here?' ’

[Is there any quest line that hasn't collapsed under your mess? 】

'It's noisy, shut up, and the main line won't collapse. ’

"Hello~I have a letter to Ms. Jeanne Dalc~" I was watching a group of fighters break out of their cages and deal with the Skuma dealers, when a voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"She's in that room, go knock." The innkeeper Wilhelm replied.

"Really, the Dark Brotherhood is too inefficient, and I rented a room here in Ivasteide in order to find them, and I went out for a walk from time to time. I complained and adjusted my sitting posture to be a little more ladylike, after all, compared to the heavy armor style of Skyrim Province, which wraps people tightly, Heizhen's armor is still a little ...... Dew.

"Hello-" "The door is unlocked, come in." ”

"That...... A fierce-looking black-robed man asked me to send you a letter, he didn't leave his name, but he gave me a lot of money...... That one...... Goodbye......" The messenger was a young man, his eyes flashed with a look of wanting to see but not daring to look at me, and Ai Ai came and took a few steps to put the letter on the table, explained everything, and then turned and ran.

[Poof...... Hahaha......]

Hell, how big is the impact of a broken off-the-shoulder shape? I also deliberately covered my legs, this messenger must be a potential black chastity fan.

As for the letter, you don't have to look at it to know what it is, a black handprint, plus the words "We Know".
