Chapter 288: A Bloody Case Caused by a Thief
"Hahaha, it's developed now!"
Ye Qing erased his footprints and hid in a small space dug out of the ground, and the whole person drilled into the infinite world, looking at the energy that was already as high as four hundred points and laughing.
"Sure enough, the robbery came quickly, how much decomposing the corpse had to be decomposed with so much energy!"
He sighed as he left the infinite world, burrowed out of the ground, and felt his way to the other side of Busokek.
There will definitely be a lot of dark elves searching in this area, so go to the other side of the city to avoid the limelight first, and find another target by the way.
The treasury is indeed much more valuable than the treasury, and the gems in it themselves have some energy, and the accumulated energy accounts for half of the entire treasury. It's a pity that this family is too small, and the treasury is too small, there are only so many.
Soon he came to the other side of the city, and was not discovered by anyone along the way, and there were few people at night, where would ordinary patrols find him invisible, and no one would have thought that a noble mage would come to be a thief.
Yes, no one would have thought that as long as a mage is willing, he will get a good status by joining a family at will, and anyone with one or two skills can earn a lot of wealth, even if he has no ability, he will not fall into a thief.
It's a pity that Ye Qing's thinking is different from that of the plot characters, he is a reincarnation, he doesn't care about any noble mage at all, stealing is nothing at all.
The energy is enough, he doesn't have to be stingy with energy consumption, he uses stealth to walk the whole time, and soon moves to the edge of a small family manor.
The theft on the other side of the city did not affect this place, but a small family had limited influence in the city, and they did not dare to go so far to catch thieves, and other families would not allow it.
According to the previous method, he first entered the warehouse and emptied the entire warehouse, and then prepared to empty the treasure house in the same way.
Only this time it didn't work, and when he investigated, he happened to see a female dark elf enter the sacrificial hall, and someone was obviously unable to do anything, so he had to give up.
Next, he took advantage of the dark elves' rest time to commit crimes everywhere, as long as the scale of the manor was not too large, he dared to touch it.
There are successes and misses, it may be that the first few thefts have been passed over, and the vigilance has increased a lot, and the lower the probability of success the later he gets, and when he stops, the success rate adds up to only half, but the energy value has accumulated more than a thousand.
This was the first time he had accumulated more than a thousand energy, enough for him to squander for a long time.
As soon as the day of Busokek arrived, the whole city was boiling, this time there were nearly ten families patronized by him, and there were all over the city, such a big thing could not be concealed, and now the whole audience was looking for him.
Some wanted to recover the lost treasure, and some simply wanted to catch him to get the stolen treasures of other families, but they didn't find anything after a whole day, and now Ye Qing was not in the city at all, he had already hidden outside the city to avoid the limelight, and no matter how much he dug in the city, it was impossible to find him.
With more than a thousand energy, he was full of confidence and decided to wait for the limelight to go down a little in two days and go to the first family to have a look.
The first family is the largest family in the city, if the treasure of the Anasta family is taken away, the most likely is that the first family will take it, besides, whether they take it or not, as long as he can open their treasure house, with the wealth of the first family, the harvest is enough to make him happy, and he can leave directly without having to do the task.
He waited outside the city for two days, and on the third night he came back to the edge of the city wall, but to his surprise was that there were no guards patrolling the city wall, and he listened carefully, and faintly heard shouts of killing inside the city.
"It can't be such a coincidence!"
Ye Qing's face was very strange.
If he was not mistaken, there was chaos in the city, and the reason was simple, it had to do with the habits of the dark elves.
In Busokek, the dark elves exist in the form of families, each family has a rank, and the higher the rank, the more power and resources they gain, so the low-ranking families do not want to replace the high-ranking families all the time.
He didn't see the situation in the city, but he could guess that he must have stolen the treasure troves of several families so that other low-ranking families saw the opportunity to take the position, so he launched a sneak attack and tearing up.
This kind of tearing and killing because of the upper position is a legal act, and other families will not interfere, but what makes him strange is that the range of this shouting and killing seems to be a bit large.
"Could it be that there are high-ranking families involved?"
He thought about it, sneaked into the city wall, and immediately saw several dark elves tearing through the corners of the city wall.
They have all been fought here, and the scale of this battle must be more than one or two small families can provoke, and there are definitely top-ranked families involved.
But isn't that his chance?
Ye Qing smiled, carefully crossed the battlefield and touched the location of the first family.
He won't go to the place where the battle is fighting, where it must have been beaten into a pot of porridge, and the vigilance has reached the highest level, and the slightest disturbance will startle others, so he will not be so stupid to send him to death.
Along the way, you can see blood stains everywhere, from time to time I see a corpse lying in the corner and no one pays attention to it, he took advantage of the fact that people are not paying attention to the corpse to put it away, no matter how little energy is energy, you can't just don't want it because the mosquito has less leg meat, he needs energy very much.
What he saw and heard along the way, he had a preliminary understanding of the scale of this scuffle, and almost half of the families in the city participated, including the second-ranked family, that is, the family that hunted down Miria before.
The purpose of this family is not to challenge the first family in order to rise in the ranks, but to purely plunder, specifically taking advantage of the chaos to attack other small families to plunder resources.
Among them, he also saw the female mage he had seen before, who was following a large team to attack the residence of a small family.
He wanted to watch the battle, but when he was still far away, a powerful dark elf seemed to notice him, turned his head and looked at him suspiciously, so frightened that he quickly retreated.
Most of the strength outside is not strong, but there are more strong people near the manor, although most of them are elites, but if there are many of them, it is very troublesome.
And it's not that there are no strong people, there are no top powerhouses like the legendary template in the whole city, but there are many strong people in the leader template, almost even the smallest family has a few, and positions such as the master mother and the samurai chief must be held by the strong.
When Ye Qing touched the vicinity of the First Family Manor, the battle disappeared, and no one here dared to spread the flames of war here.
As the first family of Busokek, their manor is completely a miniature version of the city, surrounded by a wall nearly ten meters high, and a huge stone castle in the center, no wonder it is the first family, just looking at this defense will throw other families nine streets, if the strength of other families is insufficient, they will not be able to attack this manor at all.
However, this also made Ye Qing a little headache, there were no other buildings within a few tens of meters outside the city wall of the first family, and there were many guards on the city wall, and what was even more exaggerated was that there were mages patrolling above.
That's right, he noticed that there was a mage patrolling the team above, although it was only a low-level mage, but it was also a mage, enough to detect the spell fluctuations when he cast the spell, and detect him passing through the ground.
What's more, when he turned to the back while looking for a loophole, he suddenly found a tall minaret building within the city walls, from which terrifying energy fluctuations emanated, if he guessed correctly, it was the legendary Mage Tower.
Yes, it's the Mage Tower, and there is actually a Mage Tower inside the First Family, which is simply ....
Seeing this, he turned around decisively and left, with the mage tower, he couldn't touch it, maybe he had been discovered now, and people were waiting for him to go in.
"Clever little one!"
Inside the mage tower, an old man in a gorgeous robe, yes, a human old man, looked at the disappearing figure of Ye Qing in the water mirror in front of him, and shook his head with a smile.
Beside him, a female dark elf who was also dressed in a gorgeous robe pointed to Ye Qing's back and said:
"This should be a thief who stole the treasures of several small families in the city, shouldn't the teacher catch him?"
The old mage shook his head:
"No need, if I'm not mistaken, he'll come back in a while, don't kill him then, invite him to me."
In another castle in the city, no less large than the First Family Manor, there was a dark room that was now full of people, a bewitching and plump dark elf beautiful woman reclining on a large chair, and a young girl beside her was handing over a peeled fruit and putting it in her mouth.
"Is it arranged?"
A seductive voice suddenly sounded, and a middle-aged dark elf sitting beside her immediately replied:
"The master mother has been arranged, and we have discussed it with the third, fourth, and ninth-ranked families, as well as a large number of families that depend on us, and we will all launch an inquiry with the first family tomorrow!"
"Hmm!"
The beautiful woman nodded, pressed her jade finger on her forehead, and said:
"They may not be credible, and in the end they must be resolved by force."
Speaking of this, he said to a middle-aged mage next to him:
"When the time comes, I hope you can block the mage tower on the other side!"
The middle-aged mage nodded proudly:
"I'm ready! But I hope to give me the Mage Tower after the battle. ”
"Yes!"
.....
After some discussion, everyone left one after another, and the mistress also left, and came to a huge space under the castle, the space ground was extremely flat, and it was full of magic lines, which was a magic array.
She withdrew from her men and entered the space alone, and began to cast a spell in her mind.
Soon the huge magic array began to glow with a faint glow, and as the spell continued to glow, the light became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a bright band of light that rose, and the entire ground was shrouded in light.
Suddenly, her voice became high, and the ground circle began to distort, turning into ripples of water, and a deep voice rose from the circle:
"Who summoned the great Gregory!"
