Chapter 163: The Whisperer (5)
Talion Prince's Theft Notes:
There is nothing left for Tangnes to be nostalgic about. Ordinary wealth is no challenge at all, and I don't even know if it's a test - that's what Old Jason said, anyway: Tellion, I have nothing more to teach you, except, of course, the Cloud Explorer. Now, go steal what you think is the most precious treasure and show it to me! This is a test, and if you steal back a priceless treasure, I will teach you the Cloud Exploration Hand, so that you can be counted as a disciple of the legendary thief "Three Hands" Jason.
I've stolen Prapi Burton's Gold Cup, Jill Connelly's Qin'a handmade tapestries, and even Gegit Exkushin's heirloom decapitation axe. But when I showed it to the old ghost, he shook his head. These are treasuresβat least that's what I think. Since these things can't win the favor of the old ones, I can only dispose of them on the black market.
But that's good, at least they fill my purse bag. But I'm obviously not going to be satisfied. Money is no longer a fulfillment for me, I have to steal something hard, at least to satisfy my sense of accomplishment.
I heard that there was a jewelry store in the brook neighborhood of Falkenridge that contained a head ring from the town's treasure, which was said to be inlaid with a "dragon stone". Legend has it that this "dragon stone" is said to be related to some ancient secrets, and it is said that the secret of this dragon stone is mentioned in the lost "Forbidden Gold".
I've got to get my hands on it!

"General, Chief Claude sent me to report, a major discovery!" A blue-speed dragoon sped up to Anthony's horse.
"Take a breath and bring me my wolf blood wine! Drink something and report carefully! Anthony ordered one of the knights to untie the pouch and hand it to the panting herald, then patted the equally tired Blue Speeddragon on the head, throwing it a piece of fresh animal entrail.
The blue dragon craned his neck and grabbed the piece of delicacies, munching on it. The herald took a big sip, took a breath, and drank again until he had drunk the sac, and then reported: "General! Chief Claude spotted a group of suspicious thieves dressed in black robes emblazoned with the symbol of the Society of the Dead. There were three thieves and two horses. No man or woman could be seen, but one of them was tall, one was petite, and one was as short as a goblin. They set off from Mushroom Tun and headed all the way towards Qingxi Town. Sir Claude hangs from afar, and Lady Stella has sent her animal spirits, and I have to say, it is still the natural magic of the druids, and we have not been discovered! β
Whispering: "When the opportunity comes, don't kill them all, catch them alive... "Of course, I'm going to uproot the cult. Religion is not allowed in my land, neither the church nor the cultists. Anthony replied in a dark voice.
"General?" The herald couldn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing, you go back and report to Joseph Claude, and say that I already know the situation, and I will immediately lead the army to join him... No! You tell Joseph to get ready, I'll take the troops to Qingxi Town first, and we'll design a trap to flank those cultists on both sides. We don't know what those cultists are capable of, so it's better to get a single blow and reduce casualties! Tell Joseph to leave me at least a living mouth, and let Joseph ask Lady Stella to let her animal spirits continue to gather intel and try to see who is their leader. If we can capture them all alive, then we can stop these murderers from continuing to do evil! Anthony ordered.
"It's the general! But my athlon might... The herald grimaced.
"Wilson! Swap your Athlon for this brilliant young man! Anthony ordered.
"Yes! Checkmate! Soldier, mount my speed dragon and do a good job! Don't let the general down! Wilson snapped.
"Yes! Loyal to the general! The soldier received the order and galloped away.
"Wilson, you have the majesty of a qualified adjutant!" Anthony encouraged the lad.
"It's all up to the generals to promote and train them." Wilson said solemnly.
"Alright, Wilson, pass my order, the rear of the whole army will become the front team, turn around, and rush to Qingxi Town at full speed, where we must kill those executioners!" Anthony ordered.
Wilson was given the order and the whole team set off. For something like this, Wilson has gone from being jerky a year ago to a veteran.
The team quickly completed the reorganization and quickly headed for the direction of Qingxi Town. Anthony rode his horse and began to think about how to catch these bold cultists.
Whisper: "You can't let the end of all things enter Qingxi Town, you can see the tragic situation of those murder scenes... β
"They won't be allowed to enter the town, and the security of the town can't be chaotic. Let's set the trap first. β
Whisper: "The army unarmoured, disguised as a lumberjack, paralyzing your enemies... β
"There's a forest lake next to the ruins of Neverwinter, where we cut down some wood as a disguise."
Whisper: "Don't underestimate your enemies, you need the help of magic... β
"Mrs. Lily Bones is in Clearstream, and there are wizards in us who have magic. Pixie's White Turbans, the original White Thieves, are now under the training and control of Mrs. Bones, these old oilmen are not good at fighting, but they are good at stumbling and setting traps. β
Whisper: "Wise decision, I saw, a complete victory... β
"Of course, a complete victory."
"General! Checkmate! What's wrong with you? One soldier was puzzled when he saw Anthony talking to him, and thought to himself that the general had fallen for some kind of evil spell, and he remembered the terrible story told by the old mother in the village, which was to deceive the mind and make people crazy.
"Don't bother the General!" Wilson was no stranger to Anthony's self-talk. "The general is thinking, do not interrupt this thinking of the general, his thinking will bring victory! Do you understand? β
"Yes, yes, the subordinates are just a little worried." The soldier was too afraid to speak, and quickly defended himself.
"Unknown recruits, you have to get used to the habits of the general in order to follow in the footsteps of the general and gain glory. The general is not an ordinary person, he wants to achieve a great cause, do you know a great cause? β
