Chapter 217: Into the Urn
Late at night, the noisy tavern was much quieter, and the guest room corridor in the backyard was also quiet, a dark shadow gently touched the outside of a guest room, waited for a while, and then took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and slowly pushed open the door of the guest room.
"Boom!" A flame slammed into his face.
The black shadow rolled on the spot, dodged the flames, looked at the two weapons wrapped in strips of cloth on the table, rushed over and picked them up and stuffed them into his arms and turned around and ran, and then rolled on the spot to dodge the second fireball, and then got out of the door, followed by a gray-cloaked figure in the guest room, holding a staff with a one-handed sword and chasing out, in the dark night, the two figures who chased and fled were silent, quietly walking through the secluded path of Warm Lake Town.
Lin Ze followed the figure in front of him unhurriedly, it was obvious that the purpose of the "thief" in front was to lead him to a place where no one was, otherwise where would he risk stealing something unknown from a high-level mage, he chased while carefully thinking about what might happen next, as well as countermeasures.
"Bang~" Running and running, the thief came to a well, opened the hollow wooden lid on the well, and jumped down.
Lin Ze stopped at the well, and now he can be sure that there is definitely something wrong with this thief, where is there a thief who runs to the secret entrance of the lair with the pursuers and goes in directly in person, the normal thief sneaks back to the lair quietly after running far away to get rid of the pursuers.
Lin Ze looked into the well, withdrew his one-handed sword, held the staff and threw a small fireball into the well, and then with a flash of light, he finally found an entrance on the wall of the well, and then he grabbed the rope that drew water and jumped down~
"I thought you didn't dare to come down?" As soon as Lin Ze entered the passageway, a joking voice came from the room in front of him.
"Oh? Are all the thieves so bold now? If it weren't for those greedy guards, you would have been a cloud of ashes a long time ago", Lin Ze didn't go in directly along the passage, but threw a small fireball inside at the door of the room, "Or is there your accomplices in this stone room to support you?" ”
"Yes, yes, the fireball that can instantly send a beginner-level fireball can barely be seen in the wandering mage, but unfortunately, at this level, if you want to deal with you, you can't even use the ambush, come in~" The stone room suddenly lit up, and the torch stands on the walls around the stone room were lit, "I have something to ask you~"
Lin Ze summoned another fireball, but instead of throwing it out, he hovered on the top of the staff for lighting, and then walked into the stone chamber in front of him vigilantly.
"Oh? This control is good, no wonder he can kill the swift sword and swift hand that Warm Lake Town is very famous for, and alone embezzle the spoils of adventure", on the other side of the stone room, a clear voice came from under the black mask.
"Don't talk nonsense! I didn't do anything, it's just luck, they were all bitten to death by sand lizards~" Lin Ze's voice was a little hurried at first, and then softened as he spoke.
"Haha, you childish little tricks, you say yes, I'm not here to argue with you today about how your adventurous companions should die", the thief shook his shoulders indifferently.
"Then tell me why you stole my stuff?" Lin Ze gently pulled out his one-handed sword.
"Bluff~ I'm not here to avenge a dead person I don't know, I'm just giving you a chance, have you heard of the Secret Archive?" The thief casually spread his hands and signaled to Lin Ze that he had no weapons, and then asked.
Really! came, Lin Ze paused slightly, "Secret Archive? It sounds like it's about the Templar's treasures, but you're here to talk to me about cooperation? Talking about cooperation with this attitude? ”
"Treasures? Haha, you are really ignorant, but you can also understand, ants in the wild, it is normal to not know the secret codex, even those famous academic mages, most of them probably don't know anything about our secret code organization, but fortunately, the auditors in the organization feel that you are barely up to the standard, and give you a chance to join", after saying that, the thief clasped his hands on his chest, and looked like you hurriedly came to beg me and thanked me.
"Alms? Do I need alms as a high-level mage? I'm afraid you haven't figured out the situation, an inexplicable organization wants to recruit people, so you have to introduce the articles of association first, what's the use of bragging about it again, do you still expect to brag and fool others to join", Lin Ze snorted disdainfully.
"It's really stupid, forget it, I'll educate you well, the high-level is in our organization, it's just the lowest minions, even if it's a little learned, at most you can mix up with a student, it's not your fault that you're short-sighted, you're just looking for death!"
"Cut, what about you, aren't you also a high-level, how do I feel that your tone of voice is like a big man in this organization, if that's the case, I still don't plan to join this kind of high~grade~ secret organization."
"You~ bastard!" The thief angrily drew out two daggers, glared at Lin Ze through gritted teeth, and took them back after a while.
"I thought you'd rush up, I'm ready, you're going to show me this? Well, I admit that your expression scares me, you were born in the circus? ”
"Miscellaneous, I don't want to worry about you, are you still energetic!"
"You think I'll trust a guy who stole something from me and won't give it back? You have talked so much, it is both organization and charity, in fact, you haven't said anything, aren't you just waiting for your companions, I already heard their footsteps", after saying that, Lin Ze immediately aimed a fireball at the thief and threw it over, and then took advantage of the situation to bully him.
"Bang~" A blue shield of light instantly appeared in front of the thief, and the fireball smashed on it and flashed away, illuminating the face of the thief who was still in a daze.
"Legendary!" Lin Ze stopped the forward trend with an exclamation, took several steps back in a row, and retreated to the entrance of the passage to be on guard.
A black-robed mage walked in through the wooden door behind the thief, "Yes, yes, thoughtful, and experienced in combat. ”
"Your Excellency?" Lin Ze asked suspiciously, "Could it be that what secret organization he said is true?" ”
"That's right, we're the Mystical Archives, what he said just now is true, are you willing to join?"
Lin Ze turned his head to look at the exit blocked by a blue light curtain at the end of the passage behind him, "It seems that I have no other choice, but you have to at least tell me what this organization is for, right?" Trafficking in women and children? Or is there some other shady job to hide here? ”
"Interesting~ But it's really his negligence, the purpose of our Mystical Archive Organization is to seek eternal life in the Mystical Archive, now you know?"
"Seeking eternal life? You are a legendary powerhouse, haven't you lived a lot more? ”
"What about legends, there is still an end to the life of legends, why not seek eternal life?"
"No, according to the law of increasing the lifespan of a legendary powerhouse, if you want to continue to cultivate to the rank after the legend in immortality, where do you need to study it?"
"Ha, that's right, it seems that their review this time is really accurate, your thinking is very clear, it seems that you have also thought about the issue of lifespan, but do you know, behind the legend is the god level, and there are several under the god level in the world, the light god in the temple is counted as one, the demon lord may be counted as one, and the university scholar of our secret book is counted as one, and I have never heard of it again, the legend is as difficult as reaching the god level, do you still think that the pursuit of eternal life is an easy thing?"
Difficult? Of course it is difficult, for the cultivation system of the Yunshan world, the legal profession only cultivates spiritual power, and the physical profession only exercises the physical body, if you want to reach the fifth order with a single leg, is it not difficult, it is a defective moat, only if you find a heaven and earth treasure that can replenish the physical or spiritual aspects can you cross over, otherwise it can only be the peak of a legend for a lifetime.
Lin Ze was silent for a while, then nodded, "Okay, I'll join!" ”
