Chapter 50: The Demon King and the Thief

With the noise coming from the street, Green opened his eyes.

"Hmm~" Lying on the bed and stretching, wiping his face, Green sat up from the bed and glanced at the room in front of him.

It's a very ordinary bedroom. The floors were clean, the furniture was old, an emerald bow and a black dagger hung from the walls, and the soft sunlight from the window gave the room a touch of warmth, if it weren't for the corpse on the floor.

On the clean wooden floor, the corpse of a little Lori is lying on the ground in a very indecent position.

Green calmly got up from the bed, put on his shirt, and glanced at the little loli on the ground.

"Another halfling. Why do halflings like to be thieves now? Green sighed, skillfully took out a rope from the cabinet, tied up little Lori, carried her, and walked out of the room.

It is a two-story villa-style house.

On the first floor is the living room and kitchen, on the second floor is the bedroom, and at the back of the house there is a small garden. The area of the house is not small, if it is placed on the earth, such a house will cost at least a million, but there seems to be no "real estate speculation" in this world, so Green only spent two hundred gold coins in the end - after selling the "green" dragon skin armor to the Griffin Chamber of Commerce, Green bought the house.

Of course, with such a cheap price, it is obviously impossible to be located in the center of the city.

The house is located in the outer city, and when I first bought it, the whole house was very dilapidated, and most of the furniture inside was unusable, but when Green spent some chaos magic to repair the house, the whole house was rejuvenated again! But at the same time, there are some very subtle problems, that is, the house will "move itself" from time to time.

For example, doors and windows may suddenly close/open, food that falls on the floor will suddenly disappear, the position of tables, chairs and benches may change sometimes, and the ceiling may make creepy noises......

To put it simply, after Green's remodeling, the house was repaired, but at the same time, it also became a haunted house where strange events often occur.

However, haunted houses also have the advantage of not having to be cleaned. There is never dust on the floor, food will suddenly disappear when it falls on the ground, snakes, ants, mosquitoes and other things will all die, and even thieves will automatically call the police when they sneak in!

Carrying the halfling girl who had infiltrated his home, Green walked out the door.

Opposite the residence is a tavern. Due to the frequent presence of adventurers, the security was relatively poor, which was one of the reasons why Green was able to buy this residence for a low price of two hundred gold coins. However, as a "Demon King", Green doesn't care much about this little problem.

Carrying the thief girl, Green found the patrolling guards.

"This thief sneaked into my house and stole something." Green threw the thief girl directly to the ground.

The patrol guard looked at Green with a strange expression: "This is already the ninth this week." ”

"Ah, these thieves are endless." Green couldn't help but sigh, "There have already been so many people who have failed, why do they keep following one after another." ”

At this moment, the thief girl opened her eyes and looked around in confusion.

When the halfling girl saw Grimm, her eyes lit up!

"It's really worthy of being the legendary dragon slayer, and it really deserves its name." The halfling girl looked at Green with burning eyes, and she didn't seem to worry about her current situation in the slightest.

Green glanced at the thief girl, then turned to the guard and said, "I'll leave this fool to you, I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”

"Okay."

"Lord Brave! My name is Leda! The Thief Maiden yelled at Grimm.

Hearing a voice behind him, Green stumbled and almost fell. This thief really has something wrong with his brain, right?

Shaking his head, Green walked into the tavern next door to his house.

Greene: "The old rules, my custom package. ”

"Okay~ I'll be here soon." The tavern owner smiled, turned and walked into the back kitchen.

"Mr. Green, have you caught another thief?" A waitress walked up to Grimm and looked at the turquoise longbow and dragon scale shield that Grimm had placed on the table with glowing eyes.

"Yes." Green rubbed his forehead, "It's been almost a month, can't those thieves take a break?" ”

"Aha." A slight smile appeared on the hostess's face, "A lot of people are betting on when your bow will be stolen. ”

"I have absolutely no way of understanding the thinking of these thieves. Do I look like a good bully? Why do those thieves visit my house every night when they know they will be caught? ”

"Because you're a big celebrity."

"Tsk! In order to save money, it may be a mistake to buy a house here. Green smacked his mouth, "If I let all the thieves who infiltrated my house become missing, I wonder if I can dampen the enthusiasm of the other thieves?" ”

"Ahaha...... It shouldn't be of much use. The hostess laughed dryly.

Just then, the tavern owner walked out with a plate.

"Your custom dragon meat set." The tavernkeeper placed the plate on the table in front of Green.

A bowl of broth, two slices of bread, a vegetable salad, a dragon bacon omelette.

Green picked up his knife and fork and began to eat breakfast.

Since discovering that the food loss rate of "enhanced absorption" is too high, Green gave up the idea of eating up the dragon meat in one go, and changed the dragon meat to his daily standard meal. In this way, the same amount of dragon meat can harvest more chaos magic - after all, the amount of dragon meat is limited, and if you eat all the dragon meat in one go, then you will only be able to eat ordinary food in the future.

"Here, this is the profit from the sale of dragon meat yesterday." The tavernkeeper placed two gold coins on the table, "Yesterday four more adventurers tried to challenge the dragon meat. ”

Green put the gold coin away: "The result? ”

The tavern owner grinned: "Hey~ three unlucky people have been sent to the church for treatment, but there is also a barbarian from the highlands who is still alive. ”

"Barbarians? With the strong physique of a barbarian, it is indeed possible to carry it. Green picked up the toast and prepared to eat a little.

At this moment, Green suddenly frowned slightly.

"Huh?" Green pulled out a card from under his plate.

It was a white cardboard card with a passage written in Palomya.

"At the time of the two moons, I will come to your house and take the Emerald Bow...... Hmm, help me see what that word means? Green placed the card on the table and motioned for the tavernkeeper to look at it for him.

"When the two moons shine together, I will come to your house to retrieve the Emerald Bow. That word means to shine together, to shine together. ”

"At the time of the two moons...... Green frowned slightly, "this is a crime notice?" ”

The tavernkeeper looked at a sign on the back of the card: "This is the emblem of Sid the Legendary Thief." Your treasure is under Sid's sights! ”

"Uh...... Can you tell me a little bit about who Sid is? ”

"You don't even know Sid!?" The tavernkeeper's eyes widened, "Oh, sorry, forgot you're not a local. Sid is the most legendary thief in the kingdom of Palomya, who is haunted by the haunting of each theft, and each time he commits a theft, he sends a notice to the original owner of the item, and then steals the item in the notice letter exactly in the time on the notice. ”

"This style of doing things...... Performative crimes. Green picked up the card and looked at it, "What is the strength of that thief?" ”

"Strength...... Nobody knows. Since no one had ever fought Sid, he was able to steal his target items every time without him knowing. Some speculate that he is a powerful legendary thief with some kind of special Noble Phantasm that hides himself. ”

"Treasure?" Green looked at the card in his hand, "The Emerald Bow should refer to this bow, right?" So when is the time of the two moons? ”

"I guess it means when two moons are high in the night sky at the same time. That is, next Wednesday. ”

"If I'm going to sell this bow later, what do you think Sid is going to do?"

"Uh......" the tavernkeeper blinked, "I've never heard of such a thing. So I don't know. ”

"Mr. Green, you are a dragon slayer! Actually afraid of a thief? The waitress on the side couldn't help but interject.

"If it's an ordinary thief, I'm not afraid, but if it's a legendary thief with a treasure, I'm not sure of victory......"

"You are the one who slew the dragon! The kind of thief who only dares to steal, even if he is really a legend, will definitely not be your opponent! The hostess cheered Green on.

Green thought for a moment, shoved the bacon dragon meat on the plate into his mouth in one go, and poured the broth into his stomach.

"I'm going to the library!" Green hurried out of the tavern.
