Many years ago, there was a thief with great powers. He is not only good at stealing, but also very intelligent, and has never missed a single time.

On a pouring rainy morning, the thief was finishing his night's stealing and drinking with friends in a tavern. The friend drank and sighed, looking at the rain curtain outside the window and sighing: "Look at this rain!" The gods told it that whether it was a relative of the emperor or a lowly thief like us, it would change its activities because of it. Humans can't resist the power of a rainstorm like this. ”

The thief drunkenly said, "What's the big deal? Look, one day, I'm going to steal even the poseidon's things! ”

"Oh, really?" The friend smiled noncommittally, "If you can steal the most precious thing of the sea god, I think the sky will fall!" ”

"You don't believe it?!" The long-term success combined with the stimulation of low-quality alcohol made the thief get carried away. He jumped up in anger, but didn't see the strange smile on his friend's lips.

"Look, I'm going to steal it from you! I can't go down to the god capital [Atlantis] buried deep in the sea of the sea, but the trident of the Poseidon Temple, which is the weapon of the Poseidon God, should be the most precious! Wait, I'll go back! The thief haughtily dropped a sentence and walked away.

Looking at the back of the thief downstairs leaving, the friend slowly turned his head back, filled the wine glass in front of him, and poured it on the ground: "Yes, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, rob my job, [friend] ah......"

The thief did not hear this. At this time, with the strength of wine, he quietly bypassed the temple's guards and sneaked into the main hall of the temple. With his good skills, he soon came to the side of the trident.

"Hmph, isn't that easy?" The careless thief reached for the trident. Suddenly, a large hand reached out next to him and grabbed his arm.

"His Highness the Sea and the Sea God!" The thief who turned his head saw the majestic face. I was so scared that I woke up. There is no doubt that this face is exactly the god of the sea. The sea god looked at the thief and sneered, "When you were talking nonsense in the tavern just now, I could hear it in the distant deep sea. I thought it was some evil god or demon who was fighting my Trident's idea, but I didn't expect it to be a thief! ”

The thief didn't dare to take a breath, only lowered his head and waited for the sea god to fall.

The sea god snorted coldly: "I was going to throw you into the ocean and be bitten to death by a shark, but a lowly mortal is not worthy of my own punishment." If you want to live, let's make a bet that there is a witch living in the Dark Forest, and if you go and steal her most important thing, I won't kill you. And I will give you a reward. ”

The thief didn't dare to listen, so he had to nod his head in agreement.

"Then go ahead! If you run away halfway, I will personally kill you, a thief who blasphemes your dignity! With a wave of his hand, a pool of sea water gushed from under the thief's feet, leading him to the dark forest.

Fearful of the legendary witch, it was obviously more uncomfortable to anger a god than to anger, so the thief gave up his flight and honestly walked into the dark forest.

However, the thief did not know the witch's home. Walking in the forest, you get lost. Seeing that it was already noon, just when he was anxious, he suddenly saw it. On the rock in front of her lay a sleeping maiden.

"Great!" The thief was pleasantly surprised to find someone to ask for directions. Just as he was planning to wait for the girl to wake up and ask for directions, he found that not far from the girl, a highly venomous snake was eager to try.

"No!" The thief exclaimed. He pulled out the dagger he carried with him and cut off the head of the viper. This also alarmed the sleeping girl, who looked at the viper in surprise, and then at the thief: "You saved me?" ”

The thief scratched his head embarrassedly: "Seeing that you are in trouble." You can't see death without help. ”

The girl looked at the thief, and then asked, "What are you doing in the dark forest, a stranger?" ”

The thief was helpless and told the girl everything about it. The girl nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I know the witch's home." I know even her most precious things! ”

The thief was overjoyed, grabbed the girl's slender hand tightly, and asked urgently, "Really?" Tell me! ”

"You let it go first!" The girl shook off the thief's hand and said angrily: "Just take it as a reward for saving me, and I will tell you the news." From this road to the end, you will be at the witch's house. As for the most precious thing a witch has, of course, it is life. The most precious thing a person has is life! ”

The thief thanked the maiden and hurried to the witch's house. Looking at the back of the thief in the distance, the girl suddenly showed a bright smile: "How can a witch's life be so easy to steal, fool." ”

Rushing to the witch's house, the thief did not dare to be careless, and quietly sneaked into the house through the chimney, secretly looking for the witch's location. However, even though he went around the house, he didn't see where the witch was. The panting thief randomly found a chair and sat down, intending to catch his breath. Unexpectedly, as soon as I sat down, the exhaustion of my whole body came up in an instant, and I fell asleep after a while.

I don't know how long it took, and the thief woke up from his sleep. He found himself still sitting in a chair with a rope that held him securely together. He looked up with great difficulty, but saw that the girl he had met in the forest not long ago was showing his cute little dimples at him.

"Why are you here? This is a witch's house! Faced with the thief's surprise, the girl just smiled slightly: "This is my home, of course I am here." ”

"What! This is your home! Then ...... are you" Seeing the thief's expression almost out of the eyeballs, the girl smiled even brighter.

"Witch."

……

Picking his nostrils, Green stared at the portrait in front of him with the eyes of a dead fish, a short fairy tale underneath the portrait, to be precise.

Then he turned to Princess Noman, who was standing beside him, and asked, "Gone?" This story obviously only has a beginning, right? Could it be that who wrote the street novel? ”

"Can you read the words?" On the other hand, the princess was very surprised, knowing that the font used to write the story is quite old, and its age can even be traced back to a thousand years ago!

Truth be told, if Green hadn't said that, Norman wouldn't have even known that the words were just a short fairy tale.

Coming to this palace, after eating food and replenishing his strength, Green wandered around idlely. There is so much magic in this palace that there is no one but the instruments play automatically. The kitchen cooks automatically, and the broom can be seen cleaning itself at all times.

Then I stumbled upon a huge portrait hanging on the wall. Underneath the painting is a simple story told in ancient words.

Intrigued, Green summoned Princess Norman and told her the story.

"This ...... I don't know, but I can understand it anyway. Scratching his head, Green also wondered, his mother had taught him knowledge, but she had not taught ancient Chinese. After all, this is still the pot of the goddess Thea.

For unknown reasons, the goddess allowed Grimm to inherit her godhead. The so-called "unified language" is the unique ability of demons and gods, after all, it is impossible for the gods to hear the prayers of believers, and there is no language barrier, right?

To put it simply, even Green himself didn't realize that there were obvious changes in some things that he hadn't noticed.

"......" Princess Norman's beautiful purple eyes stared into Grimm's eyes, and after making sure he wasn't lying, she turned her gaze to the portrait. And said in a complicated tone: "This person ...... He was the first king of Jad, Robin de la Mor Yad I. ”

"And in our royal family, there is indeed a revelation about the first king before the founding of the country, he ...... It's just a lowly thief, indeed. It's just that it would be detrimental to the majesty of the royal family. It didn't get out. ”

Greene: "What......"

☆

"So, how long are you going to take that viper? Bloody and disgusting. ”

"Kevin, you know, a true adventurer. I don't want to discard anything that can replenish energy. Because he knew very well what man needed most if he wanted to live longer in the wilderness. Even if it's just a slightest, as long as you can bring it. It will never be easily abandoned. ”

In the gloomy atmosphere of the Western-style Pavilion, at this time, Bell and Jack have already arrived in the kitchen of the Western-style Mansion, and along the way, they naturally encountered many traps. For example, potted plants that exude poisonous incense, such as mutilated corpses that appear in the corridor from time to time; For example, piano wire hanging horizontally on the staircase; For example, the sudden extra nails on the ground, such as the nail walls that suddenly pressed on both sides of the corridor.

Jack didn't know what to put on for the bad taste of the owner of the mansion.

Should you smile?

Can't laugh, bastard.

Again, I'm sincerely glad that I have Bell's risky family with me, otherwise Jack really doesn't know how many times he will die.

"Wait."

Just as Jack was about to push open the kitchen door, Bell stopped him: "Look, there seems to be a strange sound in the kitchen. ”

Jack was stunned for a moment, suddenly put down the hand that was about to push open the door, leaned over, put his ear on the door, and listened to the movement of the kitchen with bated breath, and after two seconds, he said with some surprise: "I heard the sound of chopping vegetables, is there someone inside using the kitchen?" ”

"No...... That's not the sound of chopping vegetables. Bell frowned: "It is impossible to use such heavy force to chop vegetables, but it is more like the sound of chopping meat." In addition to this, there is the sound of wild beasts biting meat. Believe me, I was absolutely right. ”

"? In this kind of place, there is also leisure to chop meat to eat, and the guys inside are also superb. Jack scratched his cheek: "Since there are people inside, what do we do now?" "It's impossible to steal in front of strangers, right? No stupid thief would make such a low-level mistake.

Jack decided to ask his friends for their opinions, after all...... In fact, Bale is much more capable than he is.

Bell looked down and thought for a moment, then asserted, "Go in." ”

“…… Not afraid of being sent to jail? ”

"No, no, even if you are sent to prison, it is much safer than this foreign mansion, right? Although I personally had a good time. Scratching his head, Bell spoke his mind: "Actually, as long as you make sure there's someone inside, it doesn't matter who it is. If we are the owner of the Western-style Mansion, we can ask for the exit directly and leave the Western-style Pavilion, or ask the other party to help us out. If you are just a resident of the Western-style Mansion, like a servant housekeeper or something, you can still ask him/her for help, and I believe that no one will make it difficult for our two children who are not yet ten years old. ”

Speaking of this, Bell smiled evilly: "If it's someone in the same situation as us, it's even better, it's much easier for multiple people to do everything, isn't it?" ”

"Makes sense!" Jack's face was shocked, in his impression, this blonde sissy should be the kind of creature whose head is full of calories and proteins, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful in reasoning and analysis.

However, even though he was a thief of vegetable B, Jack still had the least politeness, he stretched out his fleshy little white fist and knocked on the door, and amplified his voice: "Is there anyone inside?" ”

The sound of chopping meat stopped abruptly, and Jack's heart suddenly became a little nervous.

Bell, who was standing behind him, silently hid the short sword he had received from the Elder of Iron Blood in his sleeve. After all, among the voices he heard, there was also the sound of wild beasts tearing flesh and blood, and he couldn't rule out the possibility that it was a dangerous creature that rushed out of the door for a while.

Squeak Quack –

After a while, the kitchen door was pushed open, and the sound of the old doorway hinge was a little harsh.

As the gap in the door grew larger and wider, the light of the dim butter lamp shone out of the kitchen, and at this time......

Suddenly, a bloodied kitchen knife protruded from the crack in the door!

"it!" Jack was so scared that he sat on the ground!

But he was immediately pulled up by Bell and pushed to the rear.

Taking out a musket from his bosom, Bell pointed straight at the door and said coldly, "Come out, or I'll shoot." ”

“……”

After a moment of silence, the man with the kitchen knife pushed the door open.

And after seeing that person, Jack, who was hiding behind Bell, was stunned and said, "You are ......"

"Viola?" (To be continued.) )
