Five magic items, two for Acoster, two for Ling, and the dwarf Kogan actually got one unexpectedly, which made our good dwarf a little surprised, because he has not officially joined this adventure team yet, and Acoste used the money to get from robbing precious books when they were in Candle Castle, at that time Kogan was still at the mouth of the Dragon Bridge, and the general property in the adventurer team was handed over to the captain for safekeeping, and the distribution was very strict, and all adventure property could only be distributed by those who participated in that time, The newcomers in the back are not eligible for the money, but these rules and regulations do not work in Acoste's team, because Acoste is the leader, and he has his own rules. These rules are not good or bad, and it is easy to be secretly sold by others behind their backs when they encounter scheming, but when they encounter a person like a dwarf, they can greatly buy people's hearts.

After this wave of purchases, Acoste and the others went to the ordinary market to replenish the materials lost in the Arcanist's laboratory, and this time, Acoste's gold coins were finally running out again.

Back at the hotel, everyone finally lay down on the soft big bed, they had only slept peacefully since they came to Am, and they soon fell asleep after letting go of their physical and mental guards. Yacoste did not fall asleep, but a person on the windowsill dragged his chin and looked at the night scene of Ascatra with blank eyes, the streets were still crowded with people, crowds crowded on the road one after another, the sound of selling and bargaining was endless, because the bridge area of Ascatra linked the city to the south and the north, the travelers here are always the most, except for some grocery stores and hotels, at night even some high-end warblers come out to stand on the street, but their business is not very good, The locals and knowledgeable adventurers did not dare to spend the night with those beautiful women, because they were afraid that among the warblers they were looking for were bloodborns, that is, vampires.

Although vampires do not often appear in the field of view of civilians, they do exist in every city, even the Baldur's Gate, where they once lived. Vampires usually sleep in the city's graveyards, sewers, or basements during the day, and when night falls, they will get up from their sleeping nests one by one, and then pretend to be dusty women to lure guests, and if you come up to talk to them, the rest is up to you, they will use seduction or berserk charm to control you to a remote and uninhabited place, and then show their fangs in the erotic atmosphere to suck the blood out of your body.

Acoste, who was on the second floor of the hotel, looked down expressionlessly, and now they had successfully arrived at Askatra, but Acoste knew that all this was just the beginning, and it was not as simple as imagined to fight with an underground organization, just a few of them were a little choking to find out the gathering place of the shadow thieves, let alone snatching back Li Qing and Ling's holy relics, and those that could be used to restrain the ancient evil objects must be at least at the level of a semi-artifact, and this kind of rare divine treasure would definitely be protected by the other party layer by layer, Therefore, cooperating with the enemy of the shadow thief is undoubtedly the only way out for the few people at the moment.

It's not realistic to cooperate with Am's high-level council, how can the other party say that it is also a national head organization, and a few of his own adventurers can't see it at all, even if there are nobles who have been awarded by the Temple of Justice, and the other party has no conflict of interest with the shadow thief at all, so far it is just that he has not adapted to the sudden arrival of the other party, I believe that after a long time, the council and the shadow thief will definitely be able to reach a consensus in some way, so as to cooperate. After all, merchants are not the same as saints, and they can throw away a lot of things in the face of gold and wealth.

Then the choice is only the local thief union, an underground world is not allowed to have two forces, this is the unspoken rule of all big cities, so the shadow thieves and they are mortal enemies, but the problem is that it is not easy for Acoste not to find them......

Just when Acoste had a headache, suddenly a scantily clad woman caught his attention, the other party had slender legs, a waist and plump breasts, and those wandering warblers stood together, at first glance there seemed to be no difference, but with the dim vision and farsightedness of the half-elf, Acoste still easily found that the other party's seemingly delicate jade hands were actually covered with calluses, and although the woman was ostensibly dancing to attract customers, But his left and right hands never left the base of his thighs that were hidden by his short skirt, and Acoste believed that there must have been a few sharp blades hidden there, and he would have dealt a fatal blow to his opponent at the necessary moment.

The half-elf did not hesitate, he ran out of the room and left the hotel in an instant, squeezed through the crowd and walked in front of the warblers, and some of the people in the street looked at Acoste with mocking eyes, and it seemed to them that another stupid foreigner was about to die in the belly of the woman, and his body was either in the mass grave in the city gate area or in the stinky ditch in the dock area the next morning. And those well-dressed warblers saw Acoste running over and pasted on it one after another, and some of them even deliberately pasted Acoste's arm with their choppy proud parts, exposing their pride as much as possible, so as to attract the attention of the half-elf warriors.

Most of them were ordinary human women, and after standing in the cold night wind for so long, of course, they were not comfortable, and now they finally waited for a "customer", and the equipment from the other party did not seem to be poor, so they naturally had to fight for it.

But Acoste turned a blind eye to everything, and he went straight to the back, but fortunately, the girl he saw upstairs did not leave, but looked at Acoste with cold eyes.

"10 gold coins a night." The woman didn't have any other nonsense, she opened her lips lightly and spat out a sentence, and Acoste agreed almost without nodding.

"She's a liar, I only need 2 gold coins here, and I'm not as beautiful as her!"

"I want less money, and I can do all kinds of movements, I can accept any position you want."

"She's a vampire, I've seen her entertain other male customers, but none of them showed up the next day, their bodies all rotting in the stinking gutter, I'm a purebred human!"

Seeing that Acoste chose the other party, those wandering warblers all shouted, dissatisfied, slandered, and begged for a big deal, but Acoste ignored them at all, took the girl's hand and left the street in the bridge area directly.

I don't need you to say that I know that she is a vampire, and I can smell the negative energy on her body a few streets away, but the most important thing is the identity of the other party's loiter, and the habit that only professional old loiters can develop is not something that vampires can have.

As for whether the other party is a shadow thief or a thief union or a loose wanderer, it doesn't matter, the loose wanderer will always have contact with those underground forces, and he can get the information he wants, and the thief union is no better, he can directly talk to the other party about cooperation, even if the other party is a vampire of the shadow thief, then it is nothing more than killing one more person himself!
