Chapter 34: The Trap?
A sturdy man appeared on the dock, although he was not tall and did not have terrifying biceps, but he was running back and forth with three or four sacks on his shoulder, and his face was not red or panting, so that the physical fitness of a professional quickly attracted the attention of Acoste, and when Acoste found the serpentine tattoo on his arm, the half-elf warrior finally determined the identity of the other party.
Tallis. Stanforth, a Level 13 Wanderer/Level 1 Assassin, the regional head of the Shadow Thieves in the Docklands, although his strength is not the strongest, but he is insidious and cunning, and the Thieves' Guild has suffered many hidden losses on him when fighting with the Shadow Thieves in the Docklands, and finally he was forced to withdraw from the territory of the Docklands. This man was highlighted in the newspaper of the thieves' union, and you can imagine how clever the other party is.
Acoste closely watched the other party's every move, but the other party did not show the slightest difference from ordinary workers, it can be said that if there is no information from the thieves' union, Acoste and his party will definitely ignore such an important person as an ordinary dock worker, if the matter is really like this, then Acoste and his party will definitely capsize in the gutter. Acoste couldn't help but rejoice when he thought of this, fortunately, he was careful enough, and he was also unintentionally calculating that others had intentions, so that he would form a situation where the enemy was bright and the enemy was secret, otherwise he would really not be able to play with a nest of wanderers on the opposite side.
A few hours passed, and the wanderer named Tallis finally behaved unusually, only to see that he put the goods on his shoulders in the warehouse, and when he came out, he did not run back to the cargo ship as before, the wanderer looked left and right vigilantly for a while, and then he walked around the back of the warehouse, and then he waited patiently for a while, and after making sure that no other workers had spotted him, he turned and turned towards a secluded alley.
"There's a play." Yacoste was excited when he saw the other party's actions, they had been hiding in the dark for a while, and the long-term lying on their stomachs made their bones numb, and at this moment they saw that the other party finally couldn't bear it anymore, and Yacoste and they quickly followed, but Yacoste They also knew that the other party was clever, and they didn't dare to follow so brightly. He sent Ling to follow Tallis's ass first, and the others waited for the two to be far away for a while before they started to move, following the marks left by Ling to determine their location along the way.
It didn't take long to follow the tail line, and after a few minutes, they came to a small alley, and the mark carved by Ling who was one step ahead also came to an abrupt end here, and the moment they entered the alley, the delicate figure also emerged from the air. Seeing her face as usual, Acoste knew that the other party had not noticed the Oriental Dancing Queen. Now that Ling has a lot of magical equipment to cover her figure, Ling can be said to be as good as any professional wanderer in terms of stealth.
Without communication, Ling walked directly to the wall and pressed down a brick, and with the sound of "boom", a secret door emerged from the wall that originally looked very ordinary, and Ling, as the vanguard, drew her weapon and walked into the dark secret passage first. Acoste pressed his hands on the two hilts of the sword and followed closely, he had already increased his concentration at this time, no matter what happened in any direction, he could react in the fastest time, this is not a small base of the thieves' union or the youth training base built in the city gate area of the shadow thieves, as the base camp of any famous big thief group, any little distraction will bring fatal consequences! Unless it's a reason to be tired of being alive or necessary, no one will break into this place with enough to eat, and the danger here is almost second only to that of the caster's mage's tower.
As the last of them entered the secret passage, the secret door behind him automatically closed without wind, and the passage immediately became pitch black, even a very good Acoster couldn't see anything, the half-elf only had dim vision, and in an environment without a trace of light, he was actually blind like ordinary people, but fortunately, Ling wore a new necklace around her neck, and the special effects on it allowed the Oriental Dancing Queen to see her surroundings clearly in the darkness like a dark elf, In desperation, Acoste had no choice but to put his hand on Ling's waist, let the warrior monk pull his clothes, the dwarf pulled the warrior monk's pants, and the group slowly groped forward like a train.
The road is less than a few tens of meters, but the four of them walked for more than ten minutes, and the Oriental Dancing Queen dismantled many traps all over the road along the way, and the density of these traps was so dense that it was almost impossible to take two steps to get one, and it was hard for Acoste to imagine how the members of those shadow thieves passed through here? If a person who does not have dark vision and is unfamiliar enters the passage, he will definitely be trapped by the trap along the way.
Just when Acoste and the others were overwhelmed, a faint light appeared around a corner, which made the Scarlet Frost Flame Adventure Team look excited. It's not that their psychological quality is not up to par, as long as people who have been living in the sun suddenly enter a closed, dark, can't see the end of the channel, anxiety, suppression of these negative emotions will naturally fill everyone's heart, this is a problem that everyone can avoid, but people with good mental quality can hide in their hearts and not show it, people with poor mental quality will make a lot of noise to vent their emotions, and it is not impossible to almost collapse and go crazy on their own.
With the oil lamps on both sides of the corridor, Acoste's speed instantly increased, and they quickly passed through the corridor and came to a stone gate location, Ling carefully observed the stone gate for a while, and after making sure that there were no traps and magic traps, Dongfang Maiji pulled the stone door open with force.
Another dark space appeared in front of everyone's eyes, but judging from the light outside the door, Acoste should be a small secret room, and after entering the secret room, the stone door behind them closed again.
This. Acoste was a little embarrassed, could it be that the stone gates in the Shadow Thief Base were all fully automatic? After opening it, you don't have to do it yourself, which is quite convenient, but I don't know what the principle is, otherwise I must learn to build it if I have the opportunity to open up the territory in the future......
"Haha, let's look at the guests. Oh, a half-elf who has just come of age, a dwarf with a stone in his head,. ,,," At this moment, the lighting crystal on the wall of the secret room suddenly lit up, and a man in tight leather armor was sitting on a chair, showing a ghostly smile at Acoste, this person was Talis, who had been following Acoste, but when he saw Ling and the warrior monk, his expression suddenly changed, and his voice trembled a little. After being stunned for a few minutes, he danced like a nervous disorder.
"The Warrior Monk and the Oriental Dancing Queen. Great, great. In vain, I personally guard you every day in the dock area, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door yourself! Tallis's expression turned terrifying.
"Kill that half-elf mongrel and dwarf, the warrior monk and the eastern dancing queen, I want to live, the blood head and the shadow king will definitely be satisfied, it seems that my ass can be moved forward again."
