Chapter 6 The Importance of Speed of Action

Niklas tapped lightly on the latticework of the attic.

No one responded.

He gently pushed the window, locked? How can this stump a veteran thief. Nicholas pulled out a wire and pulled it a few times, the window opened, and he jumped in silently.

It was nothing more than a fifteen-foot loft, with a bed, a table, and a chair. There was a small box under the bed, and the roof above it, all of which Nicholas had rummaged through countless times.

He swore that if there was indeed a magic potion or gold coin hidden in this room, he would have found it long ago! But every time, he watched Lu Yuan take out something hidden from an unexpected place, which made him grit his teeth with hatred.

Picked up the pillow and opened it, and sure enough, there was only a note inside: "Would I be stupid enough to put it here?!" ”

"Damn it!"

I slammed the pillow on the bed, then immediately picked it up again, patted it, and left it in its original place. Sure enough, there was a note there, "There were twelve hairs arranged in a pentagonal shape here, are you sure you can restore them?" ”

"I'm going to kill you!" He plucked out twelve hairs and placed them there in a pentagonal shape. "A professional thief must not destroy the scene, this is the principle!" He encouraged himself.

He got under the bed, pulled the box out, and searched it carefully under the bed. No! The bed board knocked block by block, and it still didn't! The box opened, and there were only a few books inside, and there were still none! Where? He looked around.

"Hey, Nick, haven't found it yet?!" The sudden sound made him shudder, and he took a big step back, slamming against the wall. The housekeeper Lu Yuan sat on the edge of the bed with a smile, and the handful of floating things in his hand was the hair he had pulled out.

He blushed and said, "Lu Yuan, when did you come back?" I'm helping you clean up your room. ”

Without waiting for Lu Yuan to speak, he quickly changed the topic and said, "You came back early today." Didn't I help you tell you about the meeting, and came to you in advance? If you're idle, we'll go now? ”

"Let's go", Lu Yuan jumped out of bed and pulled out the box under the bed. Nicholas' eyes widened as he opened the box, took out a book, and pulled a piece of paper out of it. "The stub of the alliance, redeemed on arrival."

Nicholas really had nothing to say. The Merchant Alliance did open a business for gold coin deposits and withdrawals, but very few people used it, and most people would find it extremely inconvenient, not to mention that they had to pay a fee proportionally.

The two walked to a shop in the alliance, and Lu Yuan exchanged more than a thousand gold coins, packed a large bag of gold coins, and jingled them in his backpack, which made Nicholas's heart as uncomfortable as fifty cats scratching. However, Nicholas was very principled, not only did he not make up his mind, but he also slapped the hands of several thieves along the way.

Arriving at the alley on the side of the street, Nicholas opened a door there without knowing it, and after walking through the narrow and dark corridor for a while. Nicholas pushed a room. When Lu Yuan walked in, he saw a woman in black leather armor, lying lazily on a chair, shaving her nails with a knife. The plump thighs were wrapped tightly on the table, swaying and swaying, instantly catching Lu Yuan's attention.

"I'm Black Lily, as long as you have money, I must have what you want. Remember, I never take credit. ”

After saying that, she seemed to press something, and another room opened on the side. Black Lily continued to carve her nails, ignoring the two of them.

"This is the Thieves' Guild?" Lu Yuan asked with a distrustful face, "You're not going to make a trick on me, are you?!" ”

"How is that possible!" Nicholas's face was full of depression, "We are going through the back door that leads to the Lily Boss, and there are too many secrets at the main entrance for you to see." ”

"Then I'll take a look." Lu Yuan walked into the house noncommittally.

But in a moment, he walked out with a little mockery at the corner of his mouth, and people who were not familiar with him thought he was laughing, and only those who were familiar knew that he was being mean again.

"How? Got what you wanted? Nicholas asked.

"Good stuff! I want them all! ”

"Then you can't afford it, if you only choose one or two, I can still let you buy it!" But if you want to buy more, then even if you have money, you can't do it, I don't have that much face! ”

"Can't you? It seems that dyes are very valuable! Lu Yuan pretended to be puzzled and said, and then sneered a few times, "If you don't brush off the dye, I'll have all the copper coins!" What do you think? ”

Black Lily fell from her chair with a thud, and the knife fell to the side.

Nicholas was even more dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. Lu Yuan just sneered and didn't say anything. If he had been fooled a day ago, most of the things in it would have been fake. It's just that now he is valued at level 8, and the forging process is as high as level 14, although he can't identify the specific content, but the material and process of the equipment are still clear at a glance! None of this could fool his eyes.

Black Lily rolled over and stood up, stepped forward and kicked Nicholas, "Shit! This is the fat sheep you lead!? The old lady's face has been disgraced by you! ”

"This", you Nicholas didn't care about Lu Yuan being on the side, and replied again and again dodging Black Lily's fists and kicks, "I didn't know that Lu Yuan's little brother was so shrewd." Besides, do the fat sheep who are not of the standard dare to take it from you? ”

Lu Yuan watched coldly for a long time, and said impatiently, "Come on, you can't hit the vital point!" Stop acting, show me the real thing. ”

The two of them parted in a sneer.

Black Lily cleared her throat and said, "Reintroduction, this is my brother Nicholas, and I'm Black Lily. ”

"I'm Lu Yuan."

Black Lily led the two of them to push open another secret door, went up and down the stairs a few laps in the dark, and then pushed the door open, and entered a small room. The main door to the room was locked, and there were rows of shelves and barrels inside.

"Everything is here, the price tells me." Black Lily pointed, and with that, she grabbed Nicholas's ear, and from there she opened a secret door and went out.

Lu Yuan was surprised, this is worthy of being a thief's guild, the main gate is not gone, there are secret doors everywhere, and I don't know if the structure of this house is stable, what should I do if there is an earthquake?

He looked down the shelves, and this time it was an eye-opener. There are a lot of things on the road, but there are also a lot of good things. Like enchanted leather armor, short swords, bows, crossbows, daggers, these are all common things used by thieves, and they are all fine here. In addition, there are not many witchcraft grocery stores, such as the Demon Breaking Arrow, and you can't find them on the market, but there are actually them here.

As for the potions, most of them are configurable by him, and some of them are still the goods flowing out of his hands. He picked out a bottle of the "King of Thieves" potion unique to the Thieves' Guild, which would make people extremely flexible and sharp when drinking, and was specially used to crack complex traps and locks, which could only be found in the Thieves' Guild.

He carefully searched all the barrels one by one, and it was only when he occasionally raised his eyes that he found a book under a barrel! I'm going, why are you here?!

I took it out with a lot of effort to go up, pat it off the dust and take a look, and sure enough, it was a "quick action manual".

This book is written about some thieves' training methods, and it is a common book for thieves. It's just that later the war became more and more brutal, and the thieves' guilds and others also improved their training methods, making them more formal and more suitable for the needs of fighting, and these books were eliminated.

But what I don't know is that in some of the books published in the prosperous year, there is a little secret hidden. That is, among the thousands of printed copies, there is a truly magical book hidden, and this book, when activated with the right secret language, will really increase a person's basic attributes!

Seeing Black Lily come out, Nicholas followed with his head pulled.

Lu Yuan raised the book in his hand, "I'll buy this!" ”

After speaking, he handed over the potion and the book. Black Lily casually put the potion aside, flipped through the book carefully, looked at it and didn't find anything, and said, "The potion is 1500 gold, and the book is ...... Our guild's secret training method, 3500 gold! ”

"A total of 5,000 gold? Hehe. Lu Yuanpi patted Nicholas's shoulder with a smile, "The math is good, the calculation is quite accurate." ”

Then he said with a whole face, "Come on, I'm too lazy to bargain." To tell you the truth, I just bought this potion to figure out the ingredients, and if I can configure it, selling it to you can be regarded as a way to make money, and you will have more extra money, which is a two-way thing. This potion is more than 800 gold, and you keep it for yourself, as for the book? 1 Gold! That's the highest price! ”

Black Lily is also the first time to deal with someone like Lu Yuan, a person for a while, a dog for a while, and a face when he says that he will turn his face, which is really uncertain. Let's talk about turning the face, this person is also a purchase channel, and the income is not only 5,000 gold coins! What's more, this person also came with a thousand gold coins, and even if he got the stub of the Merchant Alliance, he couldn't take it out if he didn't take it out himself.

I had to turn my head to look at Nicholas, and Nicholas said in his heart, what do you look at me, I have been played like a dog by him all day, so I can only nod helplessly.

Black Lily slapped the table, "I don't think you have any weapons to protect yourself!" If you take another ordinary blade, I'll count you a thousand!" ”

Lu Yuan didn't bargain anymore, he directly took out the bag of gold coins, took out 20 pieces, and threw the whole bag on the table. Putting the potion and book in his bag, he turned around and took a rapier from the shelf, waved it casually, and said, "That's it." ”

Black Lily checked again and again, and it was indeed an ordinary weapon, so he threw it directly at him, and let Nicholas take him away.

Although he also earned a few hundred gold coins, he was not happy as if he was holding a stone on his head, so he hurried to catch people away.

After Lu Yuan went back, he threw away his things and went straight to the laboratory. After a big circle in the apprentice laboratory, those people saw him promoted, and of course they had to stammer. He also successfully got the development potion and analysis lens, and was busy tossing and turning for most of the night to identify the book.

Lu Yuan whispered to the book, "Act fast, first come, first served!" ”

The book turned into a ray of light, flying up and merging into his body.

Lu Yuan only felt that his whole body was warm, and his muscles were contracting and stretching slightly, like countless little hands massaging his body, it was really indescribably comfortable, so he had to shout.

"Wow! Ascension! ”
