Chapter 36: The Last Commission
When Axter and they left, Ling found a hidden mechanism on an ordinary wall, but dozens of magic traps were attached to it in a frenzy, Ling is not a professional thief after all, and he is helpless against these more advanced magic traps, but there may be hidden behind the door The goal of their adventure, they will definitely not be willing to give up, and finally in desperation, it was Axter who came up with a bad idea, which was the method that the player came up with in his previous life's memory, That is, when they encounter magic traps that cannot be cracked or are powerful against the sky, they will take local materials, or catch small animals, or use corpses on the ground, and then form a "kamikaze death squad", constantly colliding with things to trigger the mechanism.
Acoste thought of the idea and threw the corpse of the shadow thief on the ground onto the trap without any restraint, and suddenly flames, lightning, and ice filled the space, and it wasn't until Yaxke and the others consumed dozens of ammunition that the trap position returned to peace.
"Whew", Yaxke took a deep breath and put his hand on the dark grid, but he kept praying to the goddess luck in his heart, this method is not omnipotent, because he is not sure if there is a magic trap with advanced intelligence attached to the dark grid, the traps made by high-level mages are very rebellious, they can be set to be triggered when others make some specific actions, Axter is also gambling, but maybe they were too unlucky a few days ago, today the goddess of luck Teramo finally favored them, Axter pressed it smoothly, and a secret door appeared next to him as he moved.
A golden light almost didn't blind everyone's eyes, mountains of gold and silver coins were stacked neatly on the ground, and there were several pieces of equipment with magical aura hanging on the shelves next to them, Axter couldn't help but hold his breath, my grandmother, how much wealth this must be.
Ling and Li Qing were also excited to find out that this was the storage room of the base, and they quickly stepped into the treasure to look for it, but soon the expression on their faces turned from expectation to disappointment. There are no holy relics here, but think about it, how can a demigod-level artifact be placed in such a storage room that is not a very important base, and at least there are legendary professionals guarding it.
However, they would not be very frustrated, a few pieces of magical equipment would be worth the value of this adventure, not to mention the wealth of tens of thousands of gold coins.
Before leaving, Axter put down flammable materials such as dry wood and cloth in several places in the Shadow Thief base, and set the base on fire with a fire, and the Shadow Thief's stronghold finally became the dust of time and was swept into the dustbin of history.
"Yes, you didn't disappoint me." At the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild, the leader Dunsri had long known about Acoste's destruction of the other party's stronghold, even though the shadow thief stronghold was built underground, but Acoste's fire still alarmed many people.
At this moment, although Deng Sili had a happy face, but the exhaustion on his expression could not be concealed, his eyes were red, bloodshot like spider webs all over the white eyeballs, it looked like he had not slept for more than a few weeks, Yacoste could imagine that although Deng Sili did not do it himself last night, he did not pay less than his own few people. After all, this is the battle of the underground king.
"Finally, please go and kill that lich, if you can successfully accomplish this, I will share the final information with you, haven't you always asked for the location of each treasure room of the shadow thief? Although I don't dare to say that the information here is complete, we still know about several of their large treasure rooms. Deng Sili forced out a smile and said, Yacoste nodded noncommittally, the reputation of the thief organization has always been bad, but they also pay great attention to credibility, otherwise who would dare to ask them to do things, and he has been cooperating with them for a while, at least the other party's general direction has never cheated himself, because their interests are the same.
"As for the other legendary lich, we don't think we can defeat them on our own." The cooperation intention has been negotiated, and the rest is the details of the operation, and the half-elf sword saint is definitely not arrogant enough to think that he can handle the other party with a few people, even if it is a sneak attack.
"They will appear at the right time as they think it is, and the decision to go or not is up to you, the risk and reward are proportional......" Deng Sili waved his hand after hearing Acoste's question, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the chair, this kind of Tai Chi-like answer made Acoste scratch his teeth, what does he think is the right time? If he thinks the timing is not right, he will never come? Isn't it the same as sending a few people to death?
After returning to the Causeway Bay Hotel, a group of people sat in the lobby and ordered many of the store's signature dishes, just this meal can be worth the income of an ordinary family in a year, such a boldness has made the boss of Causeway Bay happy, he even raised his own white and beautiful baby daughter who is ready to marry into a noble family, let her wear a low-cut dress to serve meals to several people.
However, a few people at the dinner table did not pay the slightest attention to the food or the emotions of the beautiful women. Except for the dwarf Kogan, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, who is still eating and drinking, everyone else is thinking about their own affairs, and a tasteless dinner has passed.
"Acoste. Do you have time? Come for a walk with me in the evening. As everyone was about to go back to their rooms to rest, Ling suddenly stopped the half-elf and said in her rare whisper.
Yacoste looked at Ling's expression a little strangely, if it was the usual Oriental Dancing Girl, how could she be so gentle, even if she told herself to scatter her heart, she would shout You hurry up and die for the old lady, I am a little annoyed and have to go outside.
"What do you see, hurry up and die, the old lady is very busy." Ling looked at the other party and looked at herself stupidly, a nameless fire suddenly rose, and as she yelled, Acoste immediately ran out, Dongfang Maiji thought in her heart. You must not be so polite to him in the future......
In the dark sky, the throne of the gods still stands high in a place that mortals can only look up to but can never reach, and under the moonlight, the city of Ascatra is still lit up as if it were daylight. At night, there are more merchants on the streets of the Bridge than during the day, partly because they can avoid the trade tax in Ascatra by selling at night, and partly because they want to sell shady things......
Ling and Acoste just walked down the street, but the Oriental Dancing Queen didn't say a word after calling the half-elf down, just lingering on the stall, she shuttled through the crowded streets like a cheerful elf, and from time to time she would pick up an ornament and put it on her body to ask each other if it looked good, and then pestered Acoste to beg the other party to buy it like a coquettish.
