"You seem to have been avoiding one thing. Catherine stared at Indulgence and asked, "You haven't mentioned the question about the two black-robed mages of the Sands of Time. ”

"Well, this is not an evasion, it's just a bit of a hassle to explain. Indulgence said, "So leave it to the last explanation." ”

Indulgence stood up, took out a small box from the pocket of the bloody coat that had been taken off by enthusiasm for a long time, and put it in front of Catherine: "Look at this. ”

"What is this?" Catherine opened the box in confusion, and the moment the lid opened, her eyes were lit up with a burst of crimson light. Inside the box was a crimson gemstone, half the size of an egg, with countless diamond-shaped surfaces that shimmered brightly. The gemstone is crystal clear, pick it up and look at the light, the light is scattered through the refraction inside the gemstone, reflecting a hazy light mist, like a dream can only see the wonder.

I don't know when, Vivien also came over, and the three girls looked at the dazzling gem in front of them in a daze, even if it was not carefully identified, the three girls could know the rarity of this gem.

"It's beautiful. "What a strong energy. "It's worth a lot of money. The three girls let out their exclamations.

"The great priest, the great Miss Lina. Pannis's voice was stern: "I think if you don't come back, you will be unable to hold on to half of the wounded that you have treated." ”

"Ahh Lina ran back to the enthusiastic side with a dry smile and apologized awkwardly: "I'm really sorry, that gem is so beautiful, I was accidentally attracted to it, hehehehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

"Such a beautiful gem is sure to drive countless people crazy. How much would it be worth if you sold it?" Catherine was fascinated and stretched out her fingers to caress the surface of the gem, her movements gentle and gentle, as soft as a girl in her first love holding her lover's hand for the first time. After stroking for a while, the intoxicated look on Catherine's face suddenly paused. As if thinking of something, he looked crazy in disbelief and asked, "Wouldn't it......?"

"That's right, it's the heart of the years. Indulgent smiled and nodded to Catherine, "The heart of the years we stole from the City of Knowledge." ”

Catherine was silent for a while, gritted her teeth and closed the lid again to block her reluctant gaze, then frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's just an illustrative prop. Indulgence said, "About the mages of the Sands of Time. It has to do with the heart of this year. ”

"Before the New Year, someone went to the guild and placed a commission to steal this gem, and the commission amount was as high as 700,000 gold coins, so it was marked as the highest level task. Since the president never cares about the entrusted matters, this part of the work is assigned by the captains themselves. At that time, we just wanted to go to the capital of knowledge to find you, so we took this task as a matter of course. When we received the task and approached the other party, there was a black-robed mage in the same outfit as the two people you saw just now, and we later learned that he was the leader of the Sands of Time. ”

"What, Chief?" Catherine's hand tightened. Almost crushed the box containing the heart of the years: "Are you sure he is the leader?"

"He himself said he was the leader, and the two mages today call him the leader. Indulgence said, "I think it should be right." ”

"Who is he?" Catherine looked at Vivien and Pennis beside her and asked, "What does he look like?"

"I don't know. Indulgent and helplessly said: "It's not that I want to hide anything for my employer, I really don't know." I've seen him twice, and it's been from head to toe wrapped in a loose black robe, and his face has never been exposed, so I can't judge his appearance, body shape, or anything like that. As for his voice, it is also featureless, like a most ordinary middle-aged man, and there is no way to distinguish it. It is also impossible to tell if he is the voice that is, or if he has used some means to change the voice. I'm sure this man is so powerful, though, that I even suspect he's a demigod. ”

"How can you be sure he's a demigod?" Catherine took a breath. Nervously asked, "Is there any reason?"

"Both times we met, he was waiting for us outside some abandoned mine nearby. "He refused to enter the city, and accidentally revealed that he did not want to set foot in the territory of other demigods. You've probably heard that demigods used to be sensitive, and it was rude to step into the sphere of influence of other demigods without saying hello, which was the main basis for my suspicions. Also, I can't see through his strength at all. I don't even have the courage to fight against him. ”

"Needless to say, it's a demigod. Pannis interrupted the indulgence: "If you don't suppress your momentum, other people will feel like this in the face of demigods, and they won't even dare to fight." ”

"Phew, it turns out that the enemy we want to track down to the end is actually a demigod behind it, which really makes the elder say it. Catherine sighed and continued, "Can you see what kind of profession he is? Are you sure he's a mage?"

"I'm sure, he's definitely a mage. Without hesitation, he said, "No matter how much he uses his cloak or robe to cover himself, he can't get rid of the pungent mage smell on his body, this can't be wrong." ”

"Hey, you make it clear to me. Vivien was upset, sniffed at herself, squinted at the indulgence and said, "You tell me clearly, what is the pungent mage smell?"

"Haha, that's not a curse. Indulgence couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh: "Every profession has a special smell, like Catherine, no matter how you take a bath, there will be a faint smell of metal, that is caused by wearing metal armor for a long time, the smell of incense and herbs on Lina's body is a typical priest's smell, and Vivien's body is a typical mage smell, a taste mixed with various magic potions and various spell-casting materials." This special professional smell is not smelled by ordinary people, only specially trained people can smell it at a very close distance, you can ask Pannis, he can definitely smell it too. By the way, this is also one of the reasons why I am sure that he is a demigod, unless he is a demigod, no mage would dare to casually let two legendary assassins and thieves who don't know the details of the matter approach him, but the client doesn't care. ”

"Pennis, is it real?" Vivien tried to sniff at herself. Not only that, but it also developed to crawl on Catherine's back and rub it like a puppy, until she was caught by Catherine and slapped twice: "We really have this smell on us?"

"Well, the smell is completely in the skin. Pannis nodded, "Unless you don't touch these things for a few years." Otherwise, it can't be eliminated. ”

"Indulgence, then what do you say about the smell of Pannis?" Although Lina was still treated from a distance, she still asked curiously: "He can order anything in any profession, what kind of smell is it?"

"Huh. Indulgent and dry, covering his face and whispering: "The smell of alcohol and perfume." ”

"Hey. The girls immediately glared at Pannis, "You guy. When you go back, you will be deprived of the right to go to the tavern. ”

"You can't do that, I'm wronged. Pannis wailed and cried, "And you, indulgence, you are framed, it is too much." ”

"I'm just telling the truth. Indulgence held his chin and looked up at the sky: "As for what you're shouting, I'm sorry I don't understand." ”

"Leave him alone, just a dying wail. Catherine said hatefully, "Go on, what's wrong with that demigod?"

"He commissioned us to steal the gem for a good reward. But at that time, it occurred to me that the other party was the leader of an organization. Maybe we can take the opportunity to find a few helpers. So I tried to negotiate with the other party, saying that we had a plan in more than a month, and we needed to find some helpers, and if he could introduce us to a few helpers, we could waive most of his fees. As a result, the other party agreed directly, so happy that I regretted the low price. The next day, the two black-robed mages came to the guild and said that the leader had sent them to assist us. ”

"Through casual chatting with those two mages, we learned that they also had some dealings with the cultists, and that they had a very close working relationship. from their mouths. I got a lot of the movements of those cultists, including the cultists, and each captain had contact with them, and I also learned about them from them. ”

But after a while, the two mages said they had something to do. Disappeared for a month in a row and didn't come back until not long ago. When we came back, we were just in time to ask the cultists for reinforcements, so we asked the two mages to share the worries of the cultists, and let them offer to come here to help the cultists, so Cruel thought that he had borrowed helpers. But in fact, it is our helper. ”

"It seems that our appearance has caused you a lot of influence. Catherine looked at the corpse of the black-robed mage in the distance and sighed, "Did you disrupt your plans?" ”

Actually......" indulged in wanting to say some polite lies, but in the end he told the truth: "Well, it's true that the impact is not small, but your help has also made up for it." ”

"But, since they're your helpers. Pannis stared at his burned left hand, "Why do you want to take advantage of the darkness to run over and kill one?"

Indulgence to keep your mouth shut and be silent, refusing to say a word. Catherine smiled understandingly, nodded and said, "I already understand the reason, you don't need to say it." But I still don't understand why you are taking this gem out now, why is the gem still in your hands, if it is a mission, it must have been handed over to the client. ”

"It's already been handed in.
