The short blade I used before had fallen into an inconspicuous bush, and the surface was inexplicably stained with a lot of slime.

The mucus is clear and whitish, and it has a strange smell.

Frowning and enduring the smell, I picked up the dagger into the villa and quickly ran to the bathroom, rinsing it clean and wiping the water off it with a tissue.

After that, I put the short blade under my nose and sniffed it twice, but fortunately, the strange smell was much lighter, and I put the short blade on the table with confidence.

"What were you just doing?" Lirea asked, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

"I don't know what's going on," I frowned, "This short blade has a lot of inexplicable pale white viscous liquid on it, and it also exudes a strange smell. ”

In the hall, when they heard me say that, they all turned away from me, nay, exactly, away from the dastard.

There was a deep disgust in everyone's eyes, and it was an expression that swore to die and refused to approach the short blade again.

"Squeak! Creak! Squeak squeak! ”

At this moment, Xiao Squeak spoke.

We all cast our eyes on Godot's face, as the only translator of Squeak, how could this thing not be self-conscious at all?

Godot stared at the short blade for a few seconds before he suddenly said, "Oh, what's the matter?" ”

"What did Squeak just say?" I asked.

"Huh?" He turned to Squeak and said, "What did you just say?" ”

"Squeak! Creak! Squeak squeak! Xiao Squeak waved his tentacles and repeated it very unwillingly.

"Oh, it said the slime on that weapon should be its saliva," Godot translated, "Originally, it was going to taste the weapon as well, but after biting a few times, it found that it couldn't bite, so it gave up." ”

I was relieved when I heard that it was a little squeak's saliva, but fortunately it wasn't something strange.

At the same time, everyone in the audience also breathed a sigh of relief, gathered around again, and stared at the short blade.

Lirea took the short blade, looked at it carefully for a while, pondered it for a few more minutes, and then called me to the yard to fetch a piece of wood that was not used, and cut it along the lines of the wood with the short blade.

With a slight sound, the wood is easily cut through the grain, and the cut is difficult to see with the naked eye due to the extremely thin edge of the short blade.

"I see," Lirea exhaled lightly, placing the short blade flat on the table, and said, "I was thinking about it just now, it seems that I have seen this tool somewhere, this is a knife invented by the dwarves, specially used to cut wood, because it itself is extremely sharp, so the cut wood rarely cracks, but also because its blade surface is too fine, resulting in extremely harsh workmanship, so a few years ago, this short blade has been replaced by other tools." ”

"In other words, this short blade is no longer in circulation?" I asked.

"Yes," Lirea said, "but there was a lot of circulation at the beginning, and my organization included more than a dozen of these knives." ”

"Only a dozen?" I was puzzled: "Your organization shouldn't be small, why did you include such a point?" ”

"Because there is no market for it," Lirea said: "The cost of this kind of short blade is very expensive, and the quantity produced is not huge, basically it has just been produced here, and there is an organization over there to buy it at a high price, and the dozen or so short blades I have included are also bought by luck." ”

"Actually, you don't need to cherish this short blade so much anymore" Yura smiled: "With Xiao Yi's current status in Vicky Castle, as long as an order is given, there will not be countless such short blades being sent, at that time, I am afraid that it will be too heavy for you to use it as a flying knife." ”

"Hmm~ Makes sense" Lirea nodded in agreement: "I used to want to throw this short blade away as a flying knife, but I didn't have a chance at that time, and now it's different, right, Xiao Yi~"

She winked at me, and I shuddered.

......

......

Following Lirea's instructions, all of us got busy in the villa.

Thankfully, there was a lot of strength and Emily's Rose Legion team helped, and we soon found more than two dozen places in the villa where we might use short blades and tools.

I wanted to cut it all over the place, but was stopped by Lirea, who said that she was a professional spy and that she was better at it than I was.

Lirea cut and removed the walls, floors, ceilings and other parts of the villa from a professional angle, and after half an hour, we found nothing, and the villa was also a mess we built.

Throwing a wooden floor tile aside, Lirea wiped her sweat, drank a glass of water, and lay down on the couch to rest.

Cagalli looked at the messy wall skin and wooden blocks on the floor, as well as the floor surface that was cut into potholes, frowned, and said, "Xiao Yi, did you say those two people were looking for the wrong house?" ”

"No," I affirmed, "when I opened the door, the two were picking up tools to pick the lock." ”

"But......" Cagalli looked around and sighed, "the house has been made like this, haven't you found anything yet!" ”

"This ......"

I'm also a little embarrassed, to be honest, seeing my own house being made to look embarrassed is not a scene I want to see, but I've been rummaging for so long, I can't just give up.

"It's in the villa, I'm sure," Lirea said suddenly.

Her words attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone wondered why she was so sure.

Lileia said: "Except for this short blade, other tools are all necessary tools for spy assassins, I think the two people Xiao Yi said must not be ordinary thieves, but well-trained spies, or assassins, since they are well-trained professionals, they will definitely not find the wrong target." ”

"Well, what she said makes sense," Jin Siqi said, "It's also the same as us adventurers, for familiar monsters, we won't attack their weaknesses." ”

"That's true, but can we really find what they want to steal?" Cagalli said unhappily: "Shouldn't the entire villa be demolished in the end?" ”

"But if you don't find something like that, will you be able to sleep in peace?" Lirea shook her head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep anyway." ”

Cagalli bit her lip and didn't speak, but I could tell from her gaze that it meant something affirmative.

Yes, if you don't find what the two 'thieves' want, let alone Lirea, even she will lose sleep.

"That ......" Cagalli frowned repeatedly, she hesitated for a few seconds, and finally made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and said: "Then look for it, but if the villa is demolished and messed up, Xiao Yi, you will be responsible for tonight's accommodation!" ”
