"Look at you, have you become a professional?" said Don as he looked at the sluggish hapless thief.

"Powerful Arcanist, your vision is so accurate, I have indeed just become a first-level professional. Brand lowered his head and said flatteringly.

"The professionals are already the backbone of the thieves' union, why doesn't Old Barry care about co-opting, but forcibly controls. You must know that every professional will not be simple, and if Barry does this, he will face the rebellion below anytime and anywhere. Bruce gave Brand a puzzled look and asked.

"There was no such rule before, but the new rule was half a year ago, and whether it was our thieves' union or the city defense army, we are doing it now. Brand said with a sad face.

"Is your news accurate?The city defense army is an official organization, can it also control the newly promoted professionals?" asked Tang En with a little surprise on his face.

"John of the City Guard is a good friend of mine, and the two of us were a little lucky, and we got a lion's heart nut and got lucky enough to become a professional after devouring it. He's in the same situation as me, he's been poisoned by the city guards and made Bob's puppet. Brand seemed to give up on resistance, and continued.

"Bruce, it doesn't seem to be easy. Bob is the captain of the cavalry brigade of the city defense army, and they and the thieves guild of old Barry have coincidentally controlled the new professions, and I am afraid that they have already secretly colluded with each other, and now that the situation is beyond our control, we should go back to call for help immediately. Don said after carefully weighing the pros and cons.

"But they snatched my serpenthorn bow. Bruce said helplessly.

"Don't be afraid, we have colorful moths in our hands, they can't run. Besides, they didn't have the spell of the Serpent's Horn Bow, so they couldn't use the three-ring spell at all. Without the Three-Ring Spell, the Serpent's Horn Bow would only be considered a normal magic bow. Donn patted Bruce on the shoulder and said in affirmative.

"What about this guy?" said Bruce, giving the thief a fierce look and making a vegetative gesture to cut off his head.

Seeing that Don and the others were about to kill and kill him, Brand's face changed greatly, and he struggled in panic, begging the two to let him live.

"Bruce, carry him back to Shadow Castle and let Marianda see if she can detoxify it, this guy is still useful. Don shook his head and said.

The two of them took Brand and hurried back to the Shadow Castle without stopping.

Don went straight to Marianda's basement and immediately explained the situation in detail.

Marianda's face changed suddenly, and she immediately quietly informed Lucia and Celtic. Then he said, "I'm afraid things are a little tricky. ”

She glanced at Tang En slightly, and then said: "The situation in the Emerald City is complicated, in addition to the six brigades of the city defense army, there are also two brigades of sheriffs, plus three mercenary regiments, with a total of more than 20,000 regular troops. In addition to these military forces, there are also three forces in the city: the Magic Union, the Thieves Union, and the Ice and Snow Church, which are entangled and balanced with each other, and it is impossible to cooperate effectively at all. ”

Tang En nodded and said, "Judging from the current situation, Old Barry must have colluded with Bob, so he will secretly control the professional." ”

"Barry has been in charge of the Thieves' Guild for thirteen years, and Bob is a lackey under Colbert's command and doesn't dare to hide from his master. They colluded together, indicating that the thieves of the Emerald City were only afraid that they had been controlled by Coubert. Marianda pondered for a moment and whispered.

While the two were discussing carefully, Bruce, Lucia, and Celt arrived one after another.

Lucia is a good friend of Marianda, and the two have known each other for more than ten years.

And Celtic is a servant of the Marianda family and a reliable cronie of Marianda in the mercenary group.

Don is a student of Marianda, and all of them rely on Marianda's banner in the mercenary group, which is a huge force.

In addition to a few of them, the injured Catrod is also Marianda's domestic servant, and it is through them that Marianda can influence and control the large mercenary group of Dragon's Horn.

"Why does Corbett control the Thieves' Guild?" asked Lucia, confused, when she heard the two of them.

"Maybe it's to control the Emerald City, this guy I've met once, and he's very ambitious. Bruce chimed in.

"It's impossible, the most important forces in the Emerald City are the nobility and the church. It was simply impossible for the king to give him control over the city, and it was impossible for the church to support his enormous ambitions. Celt said with a contemptuous smile.

"The Emerald City is one of the three most important fortress cities in the north of the Empire, close to the territory of the orcs, and its annual produce is exported to the whole country, and the trade volume is astronomical. Although it faces an orc invasion every year, it is impossible for the Empire to abandon the city. Although Colbert is the commander of the city defense force, he cannot let the soldiers betray the country. Don shook his head and said.

"The Flaming Red Lips Inn is the nest of the Thieves' Guild, whatever their schemes, let's go to the Flaming Red Lips Inn now. Where is their base camp, although they think they are relatively secretive, but we have already discovered it. Marianda thought for a moment and said with determination.

The Dragon's Horns were able to discover this because of Bruce.

Dietrich, though well disguised, still showed her feet under Marianda's eyes. Marianda found out early on that she was a member of the Thieves' Guild, and Dietri had been fooling around with Bruce for years, and the Thieves' Guild's lair had already been discovered by Marianda.

The five of them packed up their equipment, mounted their horses, and rushed to the Emerald City overnight.

They quietly hid their horses outside the city, and then secretly evaded the city defenders, and deftly climbed over the city wall more than ten meters high and entered the city.

A few people sneaked up on their tracks along the way, sneaking up on the door of the Flame Red Lips Hotel.

Tang En took out the colorful moth, only to see the colorful moth shake slightly, and flew towards the window on the third floor without hesitation.

Don nodded happily and made a successful gesture towards Bruce.

Bruce threw his claws, hooked the third-floor windowsill, and ran a few steps to grab the claws and ascend to the third-floor windows.

Just as he was about to quietly open the window, he heard Don shout: "Bruce be careful, there is danger inside." ”

Whoosh.

Three loud bangs came from inside the window, and three crossbow arrows shot out of the window at a rapid pace.

Just by listening to the voice, Don knew that it must be a strong bow, and he was using a magic bow, and if Bruce was shot, he would die immediately.

Bruce is also an experienced veteran mercenary, and when he heard Donn's warning, he immediately trusted his comrades' judgment after a long period of cooperation.

He didn't have time to dodge, so he decisively let go of his hands and fell to the ground suddenly.
