Chapter 18: Change

The thieves believed that faith in Kanrosh, the Word of Destiny, would bring them good luck. - Lokan Encyclopedia

------------------

Crewe cowered in the corner and glanced around, not noticing the vegetable vendor who claimed to have seen him hit him once and for a while, and swaggered out.

It's really bad luck to say, I finally met a guy with a bad brain, and I cheated him out of a silver coin and was exposed by the little white face who didn't know where it came from, so that he fell and was kicked in vain, and he shrank in the hotel all day in fear, and now if he doesn't come out to get some money, he will be kicked out.

As a self-proclaimed thief with his mind, he has always looked down on his peers who are called "three hands", but that doesn't mean he won't do it - people always have to have a skill to make a living.

So now he didn't hesitate to get into the crowd and try to touch something.

Suddenly, a figure not far ahead caught his attention.

The material of the other party's clothes is of extremely high quality, he has seen it twice in these days, and he will never be mistaken. For a thief, eyesight is more important than effort. What's more, the other party's nasty face was simply imprinted in his mind.

It's me that you kid exposed!

It seemed that his female companion was not around, so Crewe slowly touched it, wanting to teach the other a lesson.

However, before he could get closer, the man smiled and waved his hand, and said goodbye to the aunt who sold milk.

Where is he going? Crewe didn't have time to think about it, and followed far behind.

After carefully following all the way with the help of various covers for a long time, Kru realized that he was thinking too much, and the other party was exactly the same as those sons who were ignorant of the world and surrounded by guards, and he had no intention of looking back, so he followed directly and openly.

It didn't take long for him to see the other party rushing into the lord's mansion.

Lord's Palace? Wouldn't that damn guard stop you? Who the hell is this kid?

Crewe gritted her teeth and decided to stay outside and wait and see.

He is a person who must repay himself, even if he stays here all day, and he has no money to pay the bill and is kicked out of the hotel, he has to take revenge on this guy.

After about half an hour, he saw that kid and Simon Knight walking out with a few personal guards talking and laughing, looking at the posture of a few people, it seemed that they had a lot of respect for that kid?

Canrosh is on top! Shouldn't I go back and find a job? Can I afford to mess with this kind of person?

He didn't have time to think about it, because he was standing in the middle of the road with nothing to do, and he was bound to pass by the other party. So he had to pretend to walk with his head down, and continue to move forward.

Fortunately, the other party kept talking about something, and the mayor was also quite fascinated by it, and a group of people didn't notice him.

"Susie is there to watch, with her strength, there will be no problems......"

"That's good, after all, there are a lot of adventurers over there in the flower garden......"

The moment they passed by, Crewe heard these two sentences.

Susie? Is it the woman with a hot body?

Garden? Isn't there a monster flower that is said to eat people? What are these people doing there?

Crewe, who is completely confused about the situation, decides to put revenge aside for the time being, and the immediate situation is more important than poetry and distance.

It seemed that the only way to steal the widow was to do it, and she was the only one who could do it.

With this in mind, he decided to go to the Canspar house instead.

The first thing Crewe did when he arrived in Nightlight was to spend the whole day familiarizing himself with the map, so he had been to all kinds of dark alleys and dark roads.

After climbing over a low fence, he meets another unexpected person.

Two to be specific.

The woman who appeared to be named Susie was standing in front of him, carrying a woman on her shoulder.

What's going on? Woman...... Thief? Still stealing people!?

……

Surya was anxious because she was lost.

She followed Mu Yan's instructions, found Canspa, asked her to go shopping under the pretext that no one was with her to buy clothes, and then turned into a dark alley and knocked her unconscious. Finally, I don't have to endure the disgust and talk to this kind of person with a hypocritical face to make the girl refreshed, and after she is done, she realizes that she is patronizing to find a place to do it, and forgets the fact that she is a road idiot.

At this moment, there was the sound of feet falling to the ground behind me.

……

Crewe's mind was spinning fast: the kid said that this woman named Susie was over there in the flower garden, why did she appear here? Still carrying a corpse? What the hell are these two people going to do?

Corpse, Mayor Simon, Flower Garden, Lies, Monster Flowers......

It only took him two seconds to string the threads together.

Kill people and kill people, and then blame the monster flowers, and you can also splash a basin of dirty water on the mayor of the town!? What a sinister and crazy idea!

I, Crewe, am a thief, but I can't tolerate that!

Thinking so, he slowly approached Surya with a look of surprise on his face.

"Excuse me...... Are you Miss Susie? ”

"Who are you?" The girl asked vigilantly, apparently not only as a road idiot, but also as face blind.

"Oh, that's right," Crewe suddenly remembered that the kid called himself "Teacher Xia".

"Teacher Xia was worried that you would get lost, so he asked me to tell you how to get out of here......"

Surya's face flushed.

Damn it!! Shamu, you bastard! Unexpectedly...... I guessed it right again......

So she didn't have a good face for Crewe.

"Lead the way."

"Yes."

Crewe respectfully led her on a path of no return.

Shall I go to Mayor Simon and ask for a medal or something? He thought.

----------------

Mu Yan took Simon and two henchmen all the way to the flower garden.

"It's hard to imagine that this honeymoon trip could have been rewarding." He took out the golden apple again and flipped it around in front of the three of them.

The golden apples look extra sweet and as clear as amber.

Simon was envious.

He hadn't heard of the legend of the golden apple, but it didn't look ordinary.

"Mr. Xia Mu is really a person who is favored by Goddess Mia." Simon was unsparing in his praise.

"What's the matter, it doesn't have much to do with me, it's Susie's ...... who didn't do it lightly or seriously," he smiled embarrassedly: "I remember the last time I had dinner, Mr. Simon reminded me not to meddle too much in this matter...... I didn't expect it to be ...... in the past two days."

"Huh...... Out of the way, out of the way. Simon said this, but his heart was dripping blood.

"In this way, why don't I contact my friends over there on Morning Star and ask them to catch a fourth-level demonic beast and send it over, I wonder what Mr. Simon thinks?" Which type do you prefer? can be satisfied. ”

Simon listened in a cold sweat and waved his hand again and again:

"No, no...... The reason why I say that is just because this monster flower is limited by geography and has no harm to the town, but can pull the flow of people, if there is really a fierce monster, our town can't resist it......"

"That's what you said......" Mu Yan sneered in his heart, if you really give a little sunshine, you will be brilliant, who told you that it is limited by geography?

"What's more, didn't Mr. Xia Mu say it, there are still a lot of mercenary equipment scattered there, and those things are enough to make up for the loss, people are content......"

Mu Yan suddenly showed an approving gaze.

"Mr. Simon is worthy of the mayor of a town, and he has a much longer vision than me."

"False praise, false praise......" Simon wiped his cold sweat and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's thrilling to communicate with this guy.

As several people went deeper, the sound of conversation gradually decreased.

After the resentful flower disappeared, the flower garden quickly fell into disrepair, and the collapsed pit was only hastily covered by the two of them, and the surroundings looked very messy in a hurry, as if they had really experienced a big war, which made people feel shocked.

Mu Yan looked at the empty flower garden in surprise, wondering where did Suria go? This stupid girl can't really get lost, right?

"Mr. Shamu, Miss Susie, she-"

"There are no other magical beasts around here, right?" Mu Yan spoke before him.

Simon shook his head.

"No, how could she run around? If you want to leave, you'll definitely leave me a mark or something......"

As he spoke, he stopped moving forward, but looked around.

He fell into an embarrassing situation, and if he went further, he would step into the trap, but if he didn't move forward, he would be suspicious, and the most painful thing was that he couldn't say it yet.

Now they can only pretend to find someone to distance themselves first and then find a way, as long as this group of people takes a step forward, they will find that something is wrong......

Good things often don't come true, but bad things can always happen.

Almost as soon as he pretended to look around, the young guard captain stepped into the air and fell down screaming, his voice so high-pitched that Mu Yan thought he had practiced.

What are you kidding, do you have ADHD?

"What's the situation?" Mu Yan took the first step to express this emotion. "When did this get a big pit down here?"

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the two people who originally cast suspicious glances at him no longer worried about it.

"Mr. Shamu, didn't you have it before?"

"Of course, if there is such a pit, how can Susie fight the monster? She's not a flying mage...... Wait, my Susie!! ”

He suddenly showed a grief-stricken expression and jumped down without hesitation.

"Mr. Shamu, calm down!!"

Simon and another henchman hurriedly grabbed him.

You guys are so cooperative! Mu Yan was moved to tears in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be anxious.

"Let go of me! I'm going down to find my Susie!! She might be down there! ”

These words were very touching when those who heard them were sad and those who saw them shed tears.

"Don't get excited, ask Haya about it."

"Who is Haya?" He asked, surprised.

"It's me—"

An answer came from below, reverberating in the empty crater.

--------------------

"How long are we going to go around?"

Surya obviously felt that something was wrong, Canspa's home was not far from the outskirts of the town, and why was she still walking around the alley after walking for so long?

She's a road idiot, but she's not an idiot.

"This road leads straight to the flower garden, no problem." Kru wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "That's what Teacher Xia said, he said that Miss Susie, you are carrying a woman too conspicuously, which is not good." ”

Surya wanted to say the same, or Xia Mu was more thoughtful.

But the title "Teacher Xia" ...... Why does it sound so awkward? When did he call himself that?

Come to think of it! That damn math lesson!

Wait a minute! The young man in front of him......

"Crewe, turn around." She said suddenly.

Crewe's body trembled instinctively, he knew he had been discovered, so he ran away without saying a word.

However, how could an ordinary person, even if he was a sturdy thief, outrun a female swordsman in her forties with an agility of at least 12 points? Surya caught up with him in just one step, even with a woman on his back, and then slapped him in the back with a sword.

Crewe felt an invincible force coming, and his throat fainted as soon as he was sweet.

Seeing the other party fall to the ground, Surya panicked: he couldn't get out now......

"What to do? What to do? Shamu, he should have already arrived at the flower garden, Simon is also an official knight (level 10-20) no matter how he says, it's too dangerous!! ”

The truth is just as she thought, the situation Mu Yan faced was much more dangerous than she imagined.

It was not so much danger as despair, because he couldn't think of where to start to turn the tables......

At first, he pretended to be anxious and asked Haya about the situation below, and then the three of them worked together to lift the cover above.

The huge hive showed its hideous face, especially the shriveled corpse of Anthony in the middle, which was extremely conspicuous.

"Old ...... Boss, yes, it's Anthony! ”

Haya's voice not only made Simon's eyelids jump, but also made Mu Yan's heart cold......

It's okay, it's okay, you can still pretend, believe in your acting skills, he comforted himself, and then tried his best to put on an expression of surprise beyond measure.

And yet—

"We've been burying him for half a year!" Haya shouted again in horror.

What the are you ...... Mu Yan couldn't wait to go down and grab Haya's dog head and beat him so much that he called him Dad.

You're really a pig teammate!!

As soon as these words came out, Simon's eyes changed when he looked at Mu Yan.

He knew very well that the other party was looking at the eyes of a dead man - only a dead person would keep a secret.

But Mu Yan still had luck.

"Is Anthony buried by you? Mr. Simon is such a good mayor......"

Even he himself felt that this sentence was too fake.

"Hehe, yes." Simon approached step by step, squeezing an ugly smile out of his face.

"Whether you're really stupid or pretending to be stupid, don't even think about getting out of here alive, if you want to blame, you know too much."

I don't know anything! It was all said by the mentally retarded! Mu Yan wanted to cry without tears.

Seeing Simon approaching, he had no choice but to retreat slowly, waiting for an opportunity to escape.

"We have a good business—"

Suddenly, he stepped into the air and followed in Hayya's footsteps.

"Haya, this kid has been handed over to you to take care of."

Seeing Mu Yan falling, Simon shouted below.

"No problem, Boss!"

Haya smiled at the success of her plan.

That's right, this guy's two sentences just now were deliberate. is also said, how can Simon's guard captain be so mentally retarded when he became the captain of Simon's guards at a young age?

From the first time he saw Suria, he developed a deep jealousy for Mu Yan, and over time, this jealousy fermented into hatred and murderous intent.

In fact, the moment he fell, he saw everything clearly through the light above, but then Mu Yan's acting skills were too realistic, which dispelled Simon's concerns, and he couldn't find a flaw, so he could only use such a seemingly clumsy means to pull him into the water.

Now, it's time to vent this nameless fire.

As for that hot blonde girl, sooner or later I will have to crush her under me!

With this in mind, Haya pulled out the dagger from her waist.

What about a lot of money? What about coming from the imperial capital? What about knowledgeable academics? Now you're just a broiler, watch me slowly slice you into slices......

After Mu Yan saw Haya's expression clearly, he shuddered, he gritted his teeth and took out the golden apple.

I'm sorry, Surya, but that's the only way I go.

However, as soon as he raised his hand, a white light flashed, and a sharp pain came from his hand and face, and the hot and wet liquid slid down his cheeks, and the apple fell to the ground, gurgling and rolling away.

With a "tuk", the dagger pierced the earthen wall behind him, and it entered without roots.

Even if it is only level 10, Haya who has just left the status of a trainee knight has at least 12 points of strength, and the comprehensive evaluation is not less than 10 (10 adult men's combat power), and it is not much easier to torture and kill Mu Yan than to kill a chicken.

"You're really a broiler...... "Haya suddenly appeared in front of him with a kick on his feet, a knee hitting him in the lower abdomen.

The sharp pain in the internal organs made Mu Yan's eyes widen, but his vision was blurred. However, this was not the end, the opponent took advantage of his bow, and an elbow hit him in the back, followed by punch after punch, falling like raindrops.

"Scratches on the wrist and face with a dagger, -1 life, slight bleeding ......"

"Blunt force blow to the abdomen, -5 health, slight vertigo ......"

"Blunt blows to the back, -2 life."

"...... blow to the back with a blunt object"

For a while, the battle log frantically swiped the screen, and after a while, it became a dying warning.

Mu Yan didn't need to be prompted by the system to know it, because his consciousness had begun to dissipate, and the sharp pain in all parts of his body seemed to have become lighter......

"Warning: Character is running low on health and enters a near-death protection ......"

"Warning: Character health is too low......

"Warning: Mia's shelter has 0/1 use times, and is currently uncharged."

Before Mu Yan completely fell into darkness, he silently apologized to Anthony in his heart.

At the moment when he fainted, a coquettish cry full of anger seemed to come from the sky, and an extremely rich purple sword light pierced the air with bursts of sonic booms, passing through Simon's body in a row, cutting off countless vines and landing on Haya's head with precision, splitting him in two without hindrance, and finally sinking into the ground to a depth of three meters.

A breeze blew, and Simon and his henchmen fell straight to the pit, four pieces of rotten flesh tumbling all the way to the bottom, piling on top of each other with Haya to moisten the land of Lokan.
