Chapter 59: The Demon King and the Trap
Just as the creation of a Hallows requires a lot of faith, so the advancement of a Noble Phantasm requires a lot of visibility.
Therefore, for Sid, it is necessary to issue a warning letter after determining the target, and Sid has to disguise his identity after issuing the warning letter to carry out some publicity...... Sid thought it was stupid!
But in order to change his treasure, Sid still persevered.
If you don't change, you can't do it! Ignoring the hidden, a familiar object must be located - what is the difference between such a treasure and non-existence? What's the difference between a Legendary Thief who doesn't have a Noble Phantasm and a Thief of the Gold Tier!?
So after obtaining a copy of the rumored thief Kurlo, Sid hid his true identity and began to blatantly commit thefts around the world under the name of "Sid the Strange Thief", and would also issue a notice letter in advance before the theft, so that the owner of the target item could prepare.
This time, the target is a commission Sid has obtained from the Thieves' Guild. The target is an adventurer from a foreign country who has made a name for himself by killing a green dragon - a weak foreigner, with outstanding strength and a certain popularity, he is a good object to brush up on prestige!
And then that kid actually said that he sold the bow!? You're kidding me!? Don't you have a little bit of the dignity of a strong man!?
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
"Didn't call the police, did you choose to hide the treasure? What a stupid choice. Sid stayed in the tavern and continued to pretend to be a hostess, gathering information, stealthily stepping on spots, and designing traps while waiting for the appointed time to come.
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the day of the two moons.
As night fell, the Scarlet Moon Mana and the Silver Moon Kai'Sa appeared in the night sky at the same time, and the magic became violent and incomparably full, even ordinary people could vaguely feel the magic in the atmosphere.
With such a strong concentration of mana, it is almost comparable to the labyrinth of some high-magic environments. For cultivators, such an environment is very suitable for exercising their own strength, and even animals and plants have a high probability of mutating into demonic beasts or monsters in this environment.
Many people had heard that Sid would go to Grimm's house tonight to steal, so even late at night, the business of the Green Bottle Tavern was very good, and the window seat was occupied early.
At this time, Green's home.
The three adventurers gather at Green's house and hold a barbecue party in the backyard of Green's house.
The wall leading to the backyard has been transformed into floor-to-ceiling windows, through which you can see the living room at a glance.
"Now that you've sold your bow, will Sid come back tonight?" The elven archer took a string of roasted shiitake mushrooms and sniffed carefully. After making sure that there was no meat splashing on it, I quietly tasted it.
"Whatever. Whether he comes or not, we will continue as usual. Green put large pieces of roast meat on the barbecue rack, "If he dares to show up, we'll just catch him and send him to the reward." If he doesn't show up, it's all about a barbecue. If nothing else, the food is full tonight! ”
The chimpanzee mage took a bite of a roasted banana: "Oooh oh! Bananas taste surprisingly good when eaten like this! ”
"Hahaha~ If you like it, eat more." Green said very boldly.
After eating the roasted shiitake mushrooms, the elven archer seemed a little uneasy: "That thief can't have stolen something, right?" ”
"Hey, hey, hey~ Who knows." Green laughed heartlessly.
"I say! We're here to help you, you don't say anything like this, what should we do!? The elven girl stood up and said unpleasantly, "In case that damned thief has already stolen something, then aren't we working here for nothing?" ”
Looking at the angry girl, Green blinked: "Don't worry, the thing is in a very safe place, not to mention that I am worried about being known by that thief." Green was confident, "If he doesn't know where things are, I'll see how he's going to steal them!" ”
"I've applied camouflage magic to my bow to ensure that positioning spells like Object Finder don't work." The black-haired witch sat elegantly at a table not far away, savoring the food on her plate.
"Wow! Why does it feel like I'm the only one being hidden? "The elf girl is a little crazy.
"Hahaha ~ calm down. I don't like to say that kind of flag, but I can't imagine how the thief can steal my stuff without me noticing, given that I am prepared. "Green is very confident in his plans.
The witch was commissioned to disguise the bow to prevent it from being detected by unscientific spells.
It doesn't matter if Sid's location is known, Green still has a second layer of insurance.
Green threw the bow into the reformed well, causing the monster-like well to swallow the bow into his stomach. If Sid wanted to get the bow, he would have to jump into the belly of the monster Dry Well. The challenge level of the monster dry well is only level 5, and it can't be moved, so you can purify it by finding a priest, but if someone actively jumps into the stomach of the dry well......
Even if it is not digested by the dry well, it is impossible to have no movement at all. Without a doubt, the dry well itself is the best alarm! If that thief dares to jump into the dry well, he will be discovered!
When the thief comes out of the dry well, he will be beaten by three adventurers who challenge level 20+.
And that's not all. If that thief really has a bug treasure, he can ignore the guards and get the item directly, and Green still has a third layer of insurance.
In addition to the dry well itself, Green also used the magic of chaos to transform the dragon bow, bringing the bow back to life and turning it into a monster. Except for himself, any moment he touches the poisonous dragon bow, he will be "bitten" by that bow fiercely! If the thief was able to steal the Poison Dragon Bow, it would have been bitten by the monster bow and raised the alarm.
If Sid abandons the Dragonbow, the theft fails, and if he is holding the Dragonbow, he needs to flee with the Dragonbow when the alarm is loud.
Tut-tut~ The plan is quite perfect! If this is the case, the monster thief can successfully complete the theft, and Green will have to admit it.
Grimm swallowed the roast with a slush. That's when ......
"What's going on with that well?" The elven girl suddenly looked at the well in the courtyard and quickly picked up her bow and arrows.
Green looked in the direction of the dry well.
I saw a blood-colored mist suddenly fill the dry well......
"Someone has fallen into the well...... "Greene was surprised, "is that the thief?" How did he know that the bow was in the well? ”
Spell positioning doesn't work, and no one knows where the bow is except Grimm. In this case, how did the thief know where the bow was hidden? Could it be ...... Is it a treasure?
Damn it! Noble Phantasm is too much trouble! It's cheating!
Hearing Green's words, the elf girl's face stiffened slightly: "You...... You wouldn't say the bow was in the well, would you? ”
"Hmm...... It doesn't hurt to tell you now. Stuff is indeed in the well. Green frowned slightly, "Wait for him to come out." ”
Hearing Green's orders, several adventurers took weapons one after another and surrounded the dry well.
After a while, the blood mist that filled the dry well disappeared......
"Huh?" Green couldn't help frowning, "The fog is gone?" ”
The mist is gone, either there is no one in the well anymore, or it has been digested. But the enemy is a legendary thief, and with the ability of this dry well, it seems to ......
"This well has been purified!" The elves were the first to notice the anomaly of the dry well.
"Oh! Damn it! Green couldn't help but scold, "A monster with too low a level is really unreliable." ”
The elf couldn't help but poke his head out quietly and glanced into the well.
"It's so dark inside that you can't see anything." The elf spoke.
"I'll do it." The witch picked up her pipe and knocked twice on the side of the well.
A ball of light appears at the mouth of the well and floats down.
Accompanied by the ball of light, the elf finally saw the situation in the well: "There is nothing down there, only water. The bow is gone! ”
Green also poked his head out of the well, his face showing a hint of confusion: "Isn't it? ”
Green had set a trap on the bow, and if the thief had gotten his hands on it, the alarm would have sounded. A thief can destroy the well, but he can't destroy the bow!
Green began to feel the chaos magic around him. After transforming an item into a monster, Green can retract the chaos magic power in the object at any time, which also allows Green to accurately perceive the location of nearby monsters.
"That's not right! The bow is still underneath! Green suddenly opened his eyes, "It's an illusion!" ”
