Chapter Twenty-Nine: When Murder and Arson
"Head, it's the cottage on the hillside. I've asked for directions. The room was wooden, and as soon as you entered the door was a fire pit, and not far to the right was the boy's bed. There was only one door, one window, and there was no cellar, secret passage, or anything like that......"
Of the three Ivans, the thinnest one was a thief in the middle of the black iron. It was he who took advantage of Charlotte's blowing B in the tavern and ran to step on the plate.
In the Celestial Empire, this is called stepping on plates, and the black words of the thieves from the other world are called: ask for directions. If you ask for a pass, you mean that you have already scouted the target.
The other of the three, Curry, was also a warrior, but was armed with a two-handed sword and carried a bow behind his back.
Compared with the careful thief, he was a little impatient, and hurriedly asked Ivan: "Boss, he has got so much money today, and he has been drinking in the tavern all afternoon, and he must have slept like a dead pig." Shall we take advantage of the present moment and give him ......" Curry made a decapitation gesture, "and avoid long nights." ”
Ivan stood at the foot of the hill not far from Charlotte's courtyard at this time, looked at the silent cabin and said, "Don't worry. Don't underestimate any of your opponents, because that's an insult to yourself...... That's what I learned from that kid named Charlotte. ”
"Wait until midnight, when people are most tired and sleepy, and then we will ......"
The reason why Ivan and his gang have not left the poor country of Gruar now is because of Charlotte's Dolan sword and Ivan's obsession with revenge.
The other two took Ivan as the leader, so they had to wait for more than a month. But before that, Charlotte had been busy fighting goblins in the deep forests of the silver pines, and he didn't show up much.
Until today, the three of them finally found an opportunity, and it seems that there is additional income.
But at this time, in the face of the coveted sword and the enemy who brought him humiliation, Ivan was calm.
His heart was unwavering, neither the fire of hatred nor the lust of greed swelling. It was as if he had gained strength, understood the truth, and grown from that humiliation. He's completely different now.
He is ashamed and brave, the sofa is decisive and not the Virgin, and his younger brother bows his head and the horse's head is ......
Could it be that this Ivan is the real protagonist! The kid named Charlotte in front of me was just a stepping stone. And Charlotte, tonight's whereabouts are unknown!
The moonlight splashed silently on the lonely land, and except for the occasional low cry of night owls in the forest, even the chirping of insects had disappeared. It was late at night.
Ivan and the three rested quietly in the shade of the forest. In order not to startle the snakes, they did not light a bonfire, but sat quietly under the tree with their weapons and cloaks wrapped.
It's not the first day they've come out on an adventure, and it's not the first time they've done this kind of black work. They all waited calmly for the time to come.
Ivan looked up at the moon, estimated that the time should be almost up, and said to the two, "Almost, let's go." When the time comes, the thief will go and open the door, and we will go up together, and don't give him time to react. Kill him directly. ”
"What about ......" Warrior Curry couldn't help but ask, "What about the supplies of the wild goblins, we don't ask?" ”
Ivan calmly replied: "First of all, we don't know if he got this material yet. Even if there were, it would take a lot of time to find it. It's hard to get away if you find it. Rather than travel with worthless supplies and take unnecessary risks, we should abandon these supplies that we don't know exist. It's good to leave quickly. ”
The three of them quietly touched the hillside without making a sound. Soon arrived at Charlotte's courtyard and everything went smoothly.
Ivan made a gesture, and the three of them cautiously climbed over the low fence wall to the hut. The thief took a small bottle from his waist and poured the pale pink powder into a thin tube.
Then put a thin tube into the gap in the window and blow gently. His breath was gentle, without making a sound.
The pale pink powder gently turned into smoke and spread through the wooden house. This is a hypnotic dust made by alchemists using a kind of fungus powder as the main ingredient.
If you inhale it while asleep, you may not be able to wake up with two punches.
Generally, thieves carry a lot of small things with them for various purposes. And this hypnotic dust is not cheap to sell on the black market, and thieves were reluctant to use it in the past, but today they are ruthless when they make a big deal.
After a while, the room was silent. The thief stepped forward, pulled out his dagger and plunged it into the crack in the door, carefully testing little by little. Soon the thieves picked open the sticks at the top door. He was afraid that the wooden door would make a noise, so he gently pushed it open half a person wide, and entered the wooden house in a flash.
He crept close to the rudimentary bed, and saw a sleeping Charlotte lying on the tattered bed. He thought for a moment, then quietly stretched out his blackened dagger.
This dagger does not reflect even when it is illuminated by the light or moonlight, which is the technique of a seasoned thief.
At this point, the thieves felt that the time had come and could not wait for Ivan to them. Stabbed over......
"No, the thieves have been in for a while. Why hasn't there been any movement yet? Curry, who had been in ambush for a long time by the door, couldn't wait.
"Let's go in and kill him!" Ivan didn't care about the sound at this time, and directly kicked open the wooden door and rushed in.
Then he saw their target, Charlotte, sitting on the edge of the bed and smiling at them. A huge boar was spewing gas, and a puppet that looked like a pile of dirt stood quietly aside.
And their teammates have been put to the ground. This experienced old thief has been killed silently.
"Up! Kill him! Ivan also knew that he had been ambushed, but he had to send an arrow. He yelled and was about to rush forward. But Curry behind him let out a scream!
He turned around. It is found that Curry is being thrown to the ground and frantically bitten by an extremely terrifying standing lizard. And a strong man with extremely terrifying muscles no longer knows when he blocked the door.
The three people who planned to attack Charlotte at night and kill them for money were surrounded!
It turned out that when Charlotte came out of Gruyar, returned to her small courtyard with a smile, and was about to push the door into the house, she found that something was wrong.
"The grass stalk at this door has been touched!"
Charlotte's house was outside the city, a small courtyard enclosed on a hillside. Charlotte is also afraid of accidents, so every time she leaves, she does a little trick at the door.
In this way, if someone opens their door, they will be discovered. Now someone took advantage of Charlotte's absence and secretly entered Charlotte's house.
Charlotte cautiously took two steps back, opened the large dictionary, and waved his hand to summon the brothers out.
"Governor......" Charlotte commanded in a low voice, "see if there is anyone or living in the house." ”
"Sir, no living creatures have been found in the infrared vision." The governor's voice was always calm.
"The stone demon opens the aura of sluggishness, haha go and take a look first." Charlotte sent Haha to explore the path again.
Haha's IQ is very high, it gently pushed open the door and walked in with its tail wagging carefully. It sniffed, then fed back its findings to Charlotte.
"Oh, there are people who come and turn over their houses when they are gone. But it's been a long time. Is it what happened today? ”
Charlotte got an affirmative reply. Haha's sense of smell is very strong, and the smell is still relatively strong for half a day.
"Is it that today's money is exposed, which has caused red eyes? In that case......"
Since it is a leak of money that makes people angry, then solve it as soon as possible. There are thieves for a thousand days, but there are no thieves for a thousand days. Instead of taking precautions every day, it is better to solve the problem directly.
And since I didn't do it in the past, and today I came, I must have seen my harvest in the Evil Tooth Tribe. In this case, it is most likely that they will come to steal or rob tonight.
So Charlotte will do what she does, and hide all her retinue by her side to wait for the visitors.
