Chapter Ninety-Five: The Wolf Principality

Wild Wolf Principality, at the gate of Grace City, several guards were bored watching the civilians who came in and out and threw two copper coins into a wooden box next to the city gate.

Don't think that two copper coins are not much, in fact, in Grace City, these civilians have to pay for two copper coins whether they enter or exit. In this way, compared to other cities, which only require three copper coins to enter the city, relying on the back and forth charges, each civilian Grace City is charged an extra copper coin.

And one copper coin is enough for some poorer civilians to eat a meal.

A splendid carriage drove straight into Grace City, and the guards guarding the gate glanced at the ornate patterns on the carriage and the wildebeest in charge of pulling it, but none of them moved.

As the most prosperous city in the south of the Wild Wolf Principality, all the guards who lack eyesight have long been "missing", so the captain of the guard will not let those recruits who may affect his money to guard the city gate.

The carriage slowly came to a somewhat remote hotel, called "Green Leaf House", which looked like a new hotel that had only been established for a few months. Like many inns, the ground floor of this hotel is also a bar. Looking through the door, you can also see the young man who seems to be the innkeeper dozing off on the bar. Obviously, the inn wasn't doing very well, and the bar was empty.

The door on the side of the carriage slowly opened, and Roger, dressed in an alchemist's robe and a wide white cloak on the outside, was the first to get out of the carriage. While walking slowly, he quietly rubbed his waist.

To be honest, the road conditions in the Wolf Principality are really poor, and the bumps along the way really make him tired.

The second one to pop out was a rabbit dressed as a guard. A rabbit that has been skillfully put on by Kerr and others. Now she looks like just an ordinary-looking female guard, but the equipment on her body is quite sophisticated, and the long sword on her back faintly exudes fire magic fluctuations. The rabbit, which had taken two steps forward, seemed to react suddenly. Turning around, he helped out Kerr in a dark blue magic robe from the carriage.

Seeing that everyone in the car had gotten out of the car, the old groom who was driving urged the two horned horses to pull the carriage to the stables on the side of the hotel.

Push the door in. Roger casually took out three silver coins and threw them directly on the head of the young man who was dozing: "Three good guest rooms, and three more lunches to the room." ”

The young man who was awakened by the silver coin quickly put away the silver coin, picked up a rope by the bar and pulled it, and immediately ran out of the hut behind the bar. Seeing that the girl was wearing old clothes that had been washed white instead of the normal clothes of the waiters, it should be the daughter of a civilian family in the neighborhood who worked here.

The little girl looked at Roger and the rabbit and Kerr who had just entered the door with some restraint, and her eyes stayed on the fifth-level alchemist crest on Roger's body and the ninth-level water magician crest on Kerr's body for a while, and then walked in front with her head down to lead the way for the guests.

The rabbit glanced at the young man who was lying back on the bar with some curiosity. Only then did he carefully help Kerr, who was a little pale with a strange face, to follow Roger and the little girl in front of him upstairs.

followed the little girl into a guest room, and Roger, who was very satisfied with the room, gave the little girl a copper coin. The little girl happily put away the copper coin, and sprang out of the room in three steps and two steps, and soon brought Roger a hot lunch.

When the little girl left, the little fireball slipped out from under Roger's cloak, and it had already been suffocated in Roger's large special pocket.

The lunch prepared at the lodge is generous and consists of roast pork legs, potato pies and mushroom soup. Little Fireball was not interested in these foods, and watched Roger finish his lunch very indifferently and slowly, and then hung a wooden sign saying "Do Not Disturb" on the outside of the guest room door.

After using a few small magic tricks to check and make sure that there was no eavesdropping magic in the room, Roger laid a soundproof barrier. That's when the window opened.

Aisha, dressed in a black tight-fitting suit, suddenly rushed in through the window and almost collided with Roger.

"Running around in black clothes in broad daylight, no one notices you, right?" Roger shook his head. In this broad daylight, you are all dressed in black and masked, is this for fear that others will not think you are strange?

"This Nightcrawler outfit is designed for stealth masters like me, and no one can spot me, even in broad daylight." Elsa gave Roger a look, then took off the mask and sat down on the edge of the bed with a depressed expression.

"Isn't this hotel owned by our people, why are you so careful?" Aisha untied her coiled hair with some dissatisfaction, and asked Roger as she combed her hair.

"There's something wrong with that little girl." Roger frowned and sat down on the chair next to the table, recalling the little girl's actions just now. He said to Elsa, "That little girl's smile when she accepted the copper coin was so fake. And her movements are too clever, at least with the strength of a fourth-level thief class. ”

"Not really. In this way, the strength of the thieves' union here does not look low. Aisha paused, and continued to comb her hair.

Although she had not touched the little girl, Elsa trusted Roger's eyesight.

"Not necessarily, bars and inns have always been important places for thieves to get information, so it's not surprising that a thief is here." Roger raised his eyebrows, "Intelligence from the Elven Clan indicates that the last time His Royal Highness Prince Robin left a trace was in this city. Really, how can the recent events be related to the Wild Wolf Principality. ”

"In any case, we must visit the land snake here and try to get as much information as possible about His Royal Highness. Prince Robin, who is disguised as a human, has been showing the strength of the twentieth level in the past two years, and such a strong man who is only one step away from the legendary level has appeared in this city, and it is impossible for the local thieves union to not pay attention to it. Roger frowned and thought, "The most important thing now is the current situation of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Prince Robin's natal golden flower is gradually withering, which does not mean that Prince Robin must be on the verge of life and death. After all, the golden flower is just withering, and its vitality has not yet been cut off. Most likely, His Royal Highness the Prince was only seriously injured.

But no matter which possibility it is, the situation that can make Prince Robin, whose real strength is already legendary, be hit hard, for Roger, whose strength has not yet reached the legendary level, must be enough to kill the threat.

This is for Roger. Be sure to try to be careful.

At this time, Sayuri Hattori also rushed in through the window. Quietly fell to the ground.

Looking at her black-clad and masked outfit like Elsa, Roger sighed silently.

To be honest, he felt more and more that this mission was dangerous, after all, it was an S-level mission, but the four companions were not worry-free.

Is this really possible?

Of course, Hattori Sayuri didn't know the faint worry in Roger's heart, she just said to Roger lightly: "The location of the local thieves' guild has been determined." ”

"That's it, let's all go back and have a good rest, and we'll go to the Thieves' Guild in the evening." Roger waved his hand. Rushed Elsa and Sayuri away, and then fell asleep on the bed.

After a long day in the carriage, he was really tired now.

Night is slowly falling.

In the middle of the night, Roger also changed into a wide black cloak and followed Elsa and Sayuri Hattori to the Thieves' Guild.

The thieves' guild in Grace City, like most thieves' guilds, is hidden beneath a dilapidated tavern.

Unlike other professions, the Thieves series does not value the class level, but instead values the ability to converge and the ability to fight. After all, many master thieves like to wear low-level career badges to disguise themselves, and even many thieves don't even get career badges.

After all, thieves have always been a disgraceful profession.

Seeing that Sayuri and Aisha were masters who had completely restrained their momentum, the thieves guarding the door quickly let them go. The fireball lying on Elsa's shoulder, and Roger who took the transformation potion and turned into a small monster and stood on Sayuri's shoulder. It was very smooth to infiltrate the thieves' union.

In fact, the thieves' guild is not very well guarded. After all, there are many strong people who are not thieves will also come to the thieves' union to inquire about the news, so the gatekeepers of the thieves' union are actually guarding some objects such as the regular army.

But. For the sake of caution, Roger still took the transformation potion and turned into a monster.

Because Roger is a child of nature, the natural aura on his body is too strong, so Roger chooses to disguise himself as an alchemy pharmacist who often deals with medicinal herbs. However, even so, it is difficult to guarantee that there may be someone in the thieves' guild who can see through Roger's profession, so Roger simply took the medicine of the three elders and transformed into a small demonic beast.

Roger, who had transformed into a fire-chasing rat, carefully lay on Sayuri's shoulder, trying his best to imitate the fire-chasing rat's every move.

The underground hall of the Thieves' Guild is still a tavern. It's just that compared to the tavern on the ground that is used for camouflage, not only is the underground tavern dimly lit, but the various liquors here are three times more expensive than those in the tavern on the ground.

Sayuri led Elsa straight to the bar. A drunken man in black staggered and bumped into Elsa. Sayuri was about to make a move, when Elsa's figure suddenly shook slightly. A dark shadow flashed from Elsa's waist and easily bypassed the drunk. And the drunk man who passed by Aisha suddenly collapsed to the ground as if his bones had been pulled out.

There was a hint of surprise in Sayuri's eyes. However, he quickly calmed down, and continued to the bar with Aisha as if nothing had happened.

There was a faint commotion around the tavern, but no one spoke, but all the figures were staring closely at the two female masked men who were heading to the bar.

Sayuri casually tossed a small money bag to the bar, and from the open pocket, it was clear that it was full of gold coins.

"The whereabouts of all the top-tier powerhouses who have been to Griss City in the past two months." Sayuri gently put her hand on the sword at her waist.

Glancing at Sayuri coldly, the white-haired bartender behind the bar quickly put away the money bag full of gold coins, took out three scrolls from under the bar and handed them to Sayuri.

Grabbing the scroll, Sayuri and Elsa quickly left the Thieves' Guild.

After wandering around the alley, Sayuri and Elsa stopped abruptly, both drawing their weapons and looking behind them.

"I don't mean anything, I just want to make a deal with you!" A black-clad masked man slowly stepped out of the shadows, his left hand resting on the sword at his waist.

"What deal?" Jumping off Sayuri's shoulders and recovering his human form, Roger glanced at the man in black who was quite calm and asked coldly.

"I don't know who you're looking for, but the Thieves' Guild doesn't have all the information." There was a faint solemnity in the eyes of the man in black, "There are quite comprehensive records in the city lord's study, and I also have some information that the thieves' union does not have!" I can give you a detailed map of the inner city, if you can help me get something out of the study. ”

"Yes." Roger agreed without thinking.

This made Elsa, Sayuri, and the man in black a little puzzled, but the man in black took out a scroll and threw it directly to Roger, "It's a long sword, and it's hanging on the wall of the study." ”

As soon as the words fell, the man in black slowly retreated and disappeared into the shadows.

Roger didn't speak, just left with Elsa and Sayuri with a stiff face.

After Roger and the three left, the man in black reappeared, looking at the direction where Roger and the others left with some wandering. (To be continued)
