Chapter 37 The End of the Thief

The sun was setting in the west, and Arrow was dragging his tired steps back.

The napa on his head was lying comfortably on his stomach, enjoying the warmth of the sunset, as if it was worth it at this moment.

"I'm going to get some rest tonight, I'm so tired."

Airo muttered, but Napa still didn't answer. When he reached the door, he realized that the door that had been closed when he went out in the morning had now been reopened.

As soon as I stepped into the guild, I was greeted by Coco, Parfay, and Brad sitting at the table, and when these three guild members saw their guild leader enter, they immediately stood up and greeted them with smiles.

"Yo! Looks like you've done a good job. ”

Arrow waved his hand, and Brad immediately walked over and took the sack in his hand, while Coco moved out of a place to pour milk for him and put the dishes and chopsticks away.

"Where have you been, President? We were so anxious that we almost wanted to go to you. ”

Arrow took a sip of milk and wiped his mouth. At this time, Napa also flew down, drinking from the milk saucer that Coco had prepared.

"Didn't I leave a note?"

Arrow gestured to the bulletin board.

"Ah......?"

Well, all three of them had a surprised look on their faces. Brad immediately rushed to the bulletin board, stretched out his finger and pointed to the words on it, and read word by word: "I...... Morning...... Afternoon...... At night...... What the? President, I don't know what this scribble is...... Is it your signature? ”

Well, it seems that he really shouldn't use too high-end writing, this warrior only understands the morning and afternoon. Also, What is scribble? My own words are well received!

Coco covered her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry...... Brother President, we don't care...... Because there has always been a task that was directly assigned to us by you, brother of the president, we didn't even think to look at the bulletin board......"

…… Forget it, it's okay.

Everyone sat down around the table again, and Arrow picked up a piece of bread and nibbled on two bites, and Coco on the side spokeβ€”

"Brother President, there's something I want to say, the thief from before is here again today."

With a pop, the bread that had just been stuffed into my mouth squirted out.

That's a bit fast!

Although Arrow thought that Cream might come back, it was too fast! If you come back so soon, does that mean Merlin's gang will be there soon?!

"Where's the others?!"

Arrow hurriedly shouted.

Seeing that Arrow was so nervous all of a sudden, Coco was a little scared. She timidly pointed out the door and said, "When he came...... We were anxious that you were gone, so we said you didn't know where you went...... Then he rushed out without stopping, probably looking for you...... Brother President, did you know that he was coming back? What is he doing this time? He looked anxious, and he was clearly wounded, wrapped in gauze in many places, and looked very embarrassed. ”

Now that there is no need to eat, Arrow pushed his knife and fork, and quickly got up and was about to rush out of the guild door. Running to the door and seeing that it was already pitch black outside, he hesitated slightly, but ran back to the second floor to get a cloak and put it on.

Just as he was dressed and ran downstairs again, he saw a very haggard looking man, with a sloppy beard and some bandages on his shoulders and arms, standing in front of the door with an anxious expression.

When the man's gaze met that of Arrow, he seemed to have a heart that had been hanging at this moment, and his feet went limp, and he even knelt directly on the ground.

"Big Brother!"

The last time Cream came to help Brad in times of crisis, this guy with a simple brain swept away his previous prejudice against him, and was the first to run out to help Cream and pull him to sit down at the table.

Coco moved out of her seat and waited until Iero sat down again before taking a seat next to him.

Seeing that this guy was at least alive, Arrow breathed a sigh of relief. He put his cloak on the counter, put on a very surprised expression, walked to the table with a haughty attitude, and sat down slowly.

"Heh, hehehe......"

Facing Arrow, Cream seems to want to try to laugh and show off her spare time. But laughing is almost the same as crying.

"(elf) Parfay, give our guest a little aroma so that he can calm down a little."

The fragrant taste soothes people's spirits a little, and it can be regarded as a little refreshment.

After Parfay sat down on Brad's shoulder again, Arrow again knowingly said, "What a rarity." Last mission, you brought me a 2 gold and 5 silver commission business, I don't know how much you can bring me this time? ”

After stabilizing his spirits, Cream saw the bread and milk on the table for the first time. He was not polite, and began to eat and drink as soon as he was caught.

Coco: "You're so rude, aren't you?" At the very least, I should thank the president's brother. ”

Regardless of the cream, he continued to eat and drink with his head covered, this attitude was like a hungry stomach for three days and three nights.

Eero waited quietly for him to finish eating.

After five minutes, Cream finally regained some energy. He patted his stomach and wiped his mouth, hoping again to face Arrow with a very relaxed smile.

It's just that now Arrow is looking down on him with a condescending gaze. It's very strange, in terms of height and combat effectiveness, Cream knows that he is definitely much stronger than this short boy, but when he stares at him like this, he really can't continue to show his flamboyant tongue.

"When you're full, shouldn't you explain it to me?"

Arrow crossed his legs, trying his best to put on a condescending posture. Fortunately, he is now so busy, but this man is very embarrassed, and it is not so difficult to shape his absolute superiority in status.

The corners of Cream's mouth opened, and he smiled, spreading his body as much as he could, and said with a smile: "Explanation? Well, there's actually nothing to explain. I've been tired of staying in the Blue Bay Empire lately, so I want to go to other countries. Where can I not make money with my skills? It's just...... Didn't I think there was a pact with you? I just want to ask you and say goodbye to you. ”

At this time, whoever speaks his true thoughts first is doomed to be a loser.

Arrow took a deep breath and let his expression appear unwavering, only the faint smile remained. That's why he won't tell Coco, Brad and Parfay what he thinks, and the three members won't be as calm as he is.

Cream also smiled, and began to chat with everyone about various customs and customs. Talking about the delicious food and beautiful scenery of other countries.

Arrow didn't interrupt and let him go on. As time passed, it became clear that the cream, who had no family background to support, finally gradually lost his breath, and his tone began to become agitated.

"Huh? Have you finished your experience of the terroir? ”

Under Arrow's understated inquiry, Cream involuntarily reached out and pinched the clothes on his chest.

Through the blood-stained shirt, Arrow could clearly see the traces of the necklace.

His teeth gradually clenched, the hand holding the pendant began to tremble, and the green tendons on the back of his hand gradually rose.

Such silence is like brewing a cloud of anger that will detonate at any time! It wasn't long before he couldn't take it anymore and reached out and pulled out the two short swords from his waist and slammed them into the table.

"I want to ...... I have entrusted you with a mission. ”

The dagger was already scarred, and it was clear that the curled edge could no longer kill any living creatures. It was covered in blood and sludge, and it looked like a handful of broken copper and iron.

"I want to entrust you with ...... Help me destroy a gang of bandits! As long as I can kill all the members of this bandit gang, then I can give you all my belongings! ”

Finally, he was the first to speak up.

Arrow felt a little bit of "victory", he breathed a sigh of relief, and his body also leaned back, and said with a slight smile on his faceβ€”

"Tell me more about your story. In order for us to be able to cooperate better, I would like to advise you not to have any concealment. If I notice that you are panicking me a lot, then let alone your entrusted mission, I am afraid that I will hand you directly over to the bandit gang in exchange for a bounty. ”

The corners of Cream's mouth twitched, and he raised his head to stare at Arrow, the president's expression not like a simple threat. After a moment of thought, the thief nodded, left his hands from the two broken daggers, and began to tell his story.

"I was an orphan who grew up living on the streets, living on petty theft and raising myself. Gradually, I made a little bit of a name for myself in our area. A good thief, a wicked scoundrel, as long as I fancy the gold and silver treasures, I can't steal them. ”

"There's a lot of exaggeration in these touts from my peers, but I also have to admit that I also enjoyed the hype. Gradually, I felt that I could do a better job, and that I could earn more gold through my little 'skills' so that I could live a good life and a decent life. ”

So, when I found out that a team of bandits was recruiting, I was very arrogant and went to apply. With my ability to steal the bandit leader's money bag right under his nose, I succeeded in becoming a member of this gang of bandits. ”

Arrow pinched his chin and nodded, "In this case, your bounty shouldn't be very low." Go on. ”

The corners of Cream's mouth twitched, and he continued, "On the surface, our gang of bandits is still operating under the name of a normal guild. The name of the guild is 'Iron Wolf', I wonder if the leader of the Mermaid Song has heard of it? ”

Arrow shook his head: "No, the number of registered guilds is only hundreds, and I can't remember every single one." ”

Cream: "Okay. After I joined Iron Wolf, I made a few deals that were kind of nominees. The guild stole a lot of merchants and ransacked a bank. The leader of the Iron Wolves, Wolf Fez, saw that I was very obedient and decided to let me join their guild in a huge deal! ”

"Before I joined, that Merlin was the first to join the Iron Wolf. The magician made a suggestion, and I now think that he should have wanted to join Iron Wolf because of that suggestion. ”

"Merlin Whisperer suggested that we rob a viscount's mansion, saying that if we finish this vote, each of us will have a treasure of gold and silver that we will never spend in our lifetimes."

"Wolf agreed to Merlin's plan, and announced it to a dozen members he trusted, including me."

"At first I was surprised when I heard that the Viscount's Palace was going to be ransacked, and I was a little scared, but seeing the excitement of everyone, coupled with the gold and silver treasures that Merlin promised to spend in his life, made me a little excited. I imagined that after this vote was over, I might be able to quit the guild and find a place to buy a field and enjoy the life of a landlord. ”

Bumper β€”β€”!

Brad's fist slammed on the table, and he stared at Cream with a very angry expression: "It's not right to steal, to steal!" This is the behavior of bad people! ”

Cream smiled and nodded secretly: "That's right, I'm indeed a bad person." I didn't try to disguise myself. All in all, because I'm a thief, I'm the first to step on the spot. ”

"Over the course of the next month, I disguised myself as a grocery seller and began to check on the daily routines of the Viscount's family. It was the most serious and cautious I ever did, because I wanted to be able to get out of it, and I could say that at that time I put all my hopes for the rest of my life on this action. Then ......"

Cream, who was originally full of anger, suddenly softened his expression at this time.

He lowered his head and gently pinched the ring pendant on his chest again, and his voice slowed down because of thisβ€”

"In this viscount's house, there is a maid. When I set up a stall in front of their house, I often saw this maid coming in and out. ”

"At the beginning, in order to step on and understand the situation, I talked to her intentionally or unintentionally. She was only two years younger than me and had the most beautiful eyes in the world. At the same time, I learned her name, Raella. A very nice name...... Every time I look up at the sky at night, I have the feeling that I am looking at her. ”

Coco and Brad frowned, and they both turned their heads to stare at Arrow while Cream was reminiscing about that good time.

Arrow sighed, "Raella, that's what Lyra means. The maid's name is quite nice, and the person who gave her the name must have wanted her to shine and be free like a constellation in the sky. ”

"I learned a lot about the Viscount from Raella, and it was very useful for our operation. Gradually, however, my reason for approaching Rela began to change from wanting to hear the news to simply wanting to see her in person. ”

"Wolf asked me several times if I had explored enough. In fact, I figured it out very well in the first half month. But I still want to be able to talk to Rala and talk more, so I still want to try to delay this good time as much as possible. During this time, Reyla and I slipped out shopping, we sat on the grass and breathed in the scent of grass, fishing, and laughing together. I know that her and I are connected and that we can be pillars of each other's lives. ”

"By the way, please don't get me wrong. Even after I fell in love with Raella, I still had no objection to robbing the Viscount's Mansion. I'm just thinking about how I can find a proper reason to help her resume her civilian status after the robbery. Because as a maid of the viscount's family, if you want to marry, you must get the consent of the master. And if they had just been robbed, they would certainly not be in the mood to agree to this marriage. So only by helping Rayla restore her civilian status first, can I effortlessly take Raella after ransacking the Viscount's Palace, and go to the beautiful life that I have imagined countless times in my mind. ”

In order to make it easier for everyone to understand, Cream said as Airo translated it to Parfay in fairy language. The flower fairy was obviously interested in the story, and even flapped its wings and flew out of Brad's shoulder after Cream stopped, approaching Cream, his eyes widened and his face full of anticipation: "Later, what?" ”
