Another dozen days passed.

Rumors about the orc city-state in the depths of the wild highlands have become more and more widespread, and they are getting more and more divine. Some people said that they saw orcs dressed more formidable than the royal guards, and they talked to him. There were also merchants who came back from the west who said that people from the western countries had already come to the orc city-state to trade.

Despite the rumors, the situation is gradually improving, and the robbery of the big-eared monsters has disappeared. One is because Bracada's extermination of a camp of big-eared monsters has a great deterrent effect, and the other is because I heard that the army in the south is about to be developed.

This is not good news for the thieves in the city. During this time, they took advantage of the chaos caused by the robbery of the big-eared monsters everywhere, and they got a lot of oil and water. But seeing that the good old days are about to come to an end, some people have already begun to leave.

But there is still a group of thieves who are always here, and they are staying here to make a fortune. This is a gang of wanted criminals and outlaws who have nowhere to go, and they are the elite of the bandits, the villain of the wicked.

Now the group is holding a meeting in a room in one of the largest hotels in town. The meeting was about going to the orc city-state to buy stolen goods, and accepting a new associate.

It is undoubtedly very inappropriate for new people to join in such an extraordinary period, and many members have expressed their opposition. A few days ago, two members were arrested by the city guards and put in prison, but a few days later they returned on their own, bringing a young man with them. It turned out that this young man was a prisoner in the same cell as them, and with his superb skills, he overturned the jailer and escaped, and released all the prisoners. He then tells the two members that he wants to go to the fabled orc city-state to steal and sell stolen goods, and asks if they want to partner with him. The two of them saw that he was actually a fellow practitioner, and they admired his superb skills, so they introduced him to this gang of thieves.

The eldest of the presiding officers was an old thief named Fodolen, who was also the leader of this gang of thieves. This is an old man in his fifties and nearly sixty years old, and every wrinkle on his face not only does not taste of aging, but also has a kind of old and slick vitality, and the age spots scattered everywhere are the testimony of experience and experience.

No matter what profession you want to be the best you can be, you have to have a mind. When the old thief learned about the orc city-state and saw the big-eared monsters start to loot on a large scale, he immediately made plans to make a fortune from the theft and sale of these stolen goods. So he got in touch with the big-eared monsters, and then gathered a group of people who were also eating with their heads to do the big deal.

Asa is mixed in with the thieves, and although there are still many people who are dissatisfied with him, he has just become a member of the gang. Things went much smoother than expected, and in a few days he would be able to reach the orc city-state, not only to get the book back, but also to see the details of that city-state with his own eyes.

"Now for everyone's opinions. The old thief finished his plan and looked around at his accomplices. Regardless of his profession, this is an old man who knows how to live in the world, and even if he is indeed the person who knows the most and has the most thorough plans, he does not forget to ask for everyone's opinions.

"No comment. "Just do as you say." "I guess the money I brought with me can be used. "There were still a few who were a little skeptical, but most agreed with the old thief's plan.

The old thief finally made a decision: "Then it is decided, and we will set off early in the morning in three days." Everyone should remember that if this news falls on the ears of those who are in office, it will be treason, and there will definitely be an army to hunt us down. So once again, I would like to remind everyone that you must not leak any information. He looked around at the people around him, especially at Asa. He didn't trust this newcomer very much, and he would never have allowed this person to join if it hadn't been for the two members who had brought him over directly. It was a very dangerous plan, he didn't want anything to go wrong, and he had killed an accomplice the other day who had just had some personal relationship with the captain of the city's guard.

To, to, to, three rhythmic knocks sounded. Everyone in the room jerked to their feet and pulled out their weapons, and the room fell silent, except for the sound of murderous breathing.

There were three more rhythmic knocks on the door, as if asking for the master's permission. This was by no means the etiquette of the ladies in the inn, and Asa suddenly had a strange feeling that he had heard such a polite knock at the door somewhere.

"Who. The old thief's voice dragged on for a long time, and the old man seemed to be lying on the bed waiting to die, and at the same time drew the dagger from his waist with a quick touch. It was a long, thin dagger, which was skillfully flipped in the old thief's hand and then held backwards, and when it came to slitting a person's throat, it would lubricate as quickly as lard.

"Find someone. Open the door. "It's a female voice as crisp as a pear. The old thief turned to look at Asa. This is the room that Asa has booked in the hotel.

It seemed to be heard somewhere, but I couldn't remember it. Asa shook his head.

The old thief made a gesture to the thief at the door to pull in and close the door.

The thief slammed the door open, reached out and grabbed it. But then he didn't pull someone else in, but someone pulled him out, not just pulled out, as if he was thrown downstairs directly, and there was a scream of falling to the ground.

Almost all of them rushed towards the door. But a slender sword poked in through the doorway, and a few false stabs immediately stopped the people in front.

"What, I'm here to find someone. The visitor repeated his intentions and walked in by himself. Just one person.

This is a relatively thin man, holding in his hand a sword that is also very thin, thin and long. But no one dared to underestimate this dangerous weapon, and the strange cutting edge on it showed that the wound it caused in the flesh could not be sutured.

Asa had seen one of these swords, and he immediately looked at the face of the sword bearer, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you? What are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm looking for you. The visitor's eyes narrowed into a subtle slit, revealing a smile. The smile that had cost him nearly his life in the Lizard Swamp was not much better now.

The effect of the leaves of the World Tree seemed to be surprisingly good, and she was already the same as when she was lying in bed more than a month ago. She had regained her spirited appearance in the lizard swamp, and even her outfit was no different from that of the time, dressed as an adventurer, draped in a blanket, and carrying a large backpack.

"Oh, it turned out to be a friend of Asa's friend, Miss, please come in. The old thief turned his head to look at Assa, and made a gesture to invite him in, which was still very aristocratic. But when Xiao Yi walked to Asa's side, he seemed to inadvertently turn around, and he stood next to the door, with his hand behind him, the knife was invisible, but it must still be in his hand.

Asa felt that her head was too big, and after glancing at Xiao Yi, she actually smiled and said, "The air in this room is so stuffy, why don't so many of you open the window." ”

"It's going to be opened, or if there is a smell of blood, it won't smoke people to death." The old thief who was guarding the door smiled, and the old age spots on his face shook with it. The thieves consciously changed their seats, and surrounded Asa among them, many of whom had not yet lowered their weapons. And the two members who recommended Asa in were silent.

"Young man, I have no problem with you, I can trust you absolutely. The old thief's voice was sincere. "But now that everybody is walking on the razor's edge, you're going to have to give everyone an explanation. What kind of person are you, how can you have such a very cultivated noble lady friend. ”

The dim light of the room illuminated all the faces, and the hostility and vigilance on them were rising. The eyes of these people are not vegetarians, and it can be seen at a glance that Xiao Yi's demeanor and temperament will never be a fellow traveler, and the temperament cultivated by the aristocracy is completely obvious. And how could such an aristocratic woman come to find a thief from another country? They must investigate the reason for this, and the slightest hint of incongruous danger will touch their somewhat allergic vigilance.

Of course, Asa had the confidence to leave with his whole body, but then the month's hard work was in vain, and he didn't know when he would get the book back. After a long time, it will be troublesome if someone else takes over the stolen goods.

"You said you came here after killing someone outside, and we didn't ask about it. Now tell me about your deeds, where you are from, where you have done. The friends here are all from all over the world, so you should know a little bit about what you say is true or false. "The old thief wanted Asa to show himself, and he was now sure that Asa was a spy who had mixed in, probably a nobleman's subordinate or something.

Asa shook his head and said, "I am afraid that you will carry my head to receive the reward." ”

"Don't worry, it's just a big deal to kill a few people. Everybody of us here has killed. The old thief grinned, revealing his pointed canine teeth.

Asa said lightly: "More than two months ago, I killed the minister and the magistrate there in Airi. ”

The trick of lying is to tell ninety percent of the truth, and the ingredients of the lie must not be shocking and endless, and the momentum will overwhelm people, and others will naturally be more likely to believe you. This is what Master Porugan told him when he was preparing to infiltrate the gang.

All the thieves were in a commotion, and the whole country was shocked by this matter for a long time. The investigative team sent by the royal capital has searched almost all of the city of Airy, and only heard that a young man is wanted. This is a rare major case in the royal capital in recent years, and the reward for the prisoner has exceeded 100 gold coins, and this sky-high wanted criminal has undoubtedly become a legend in the mouth of thieves. They really couldn't imagine that there was such a big man in front of them.

"Really, but I heard that there were more than a dozen cavalrymen missing at that time, it couldn't have been all done by you, right?" the old thief obviously didn't believe it, and his eyes suddenly blinked.

Two thieves behind him suddenly reached out to grab Asa and Xiaoyi's necks, and the other hand had already drawn their daggers.

Asa didn't even turn his head back before he struck the thief in the back of the heart, and the thief slumped without a snort. Originally, he was going to deal with another thief with his other hand, but he saw Xiao Yi pinching the thief's wrist, and he twisted him to the ground with a skillful twist. This is the first time Asa has seen her shoot, and she is actually very neat and clean, quite standard.

All the thieves are fierce, and the atmosphere has reached a critical level, and it will be out of control at the first touch.

Asa took something out of his bosom and threw it to the old thief. This is what Rodhart gave him back.

The old thief took it and looked at the light carefully, it was a seal carved from a whole agate, and it was clearly engraved with the official title and the emperor's imperial gift.

This is indeed a seal given by the emperor to the minister, and the workmanship of the royal family on it is by no means imitated by ordinary craftsmen, and the old thief is very confident in his vision. And no one wants to forge such a thing with an agate.

And he had also heard that the wanted young man was indeed the only clue to this earth-shattering case because he went back with the seal of the minister and cheated a sum of money.

"This is ......" the old thief coughed, and all the wrinkles on his face bent awkwardly. Looking at his face, the other thieves already understood a little, and their wary eyes all turned to awe and amazement.

"Not more than a dozen cavalrymen, but more than fifty cavalrymen, I slaughtered them all. Asa still said lightly, with his identity as a shocking thief, he naturally had an extraordinary momentum. "If we can, the two of us can also put on a show here. It's just that I don't think it's necessary, I'm just here to make some money with my companions. Asa's eyes swept over all the thieves in the room. There is also a convenience in dealing with these people who eat with their heads, just like similar animals rely on smell to distinguish strength and weakness, as long as the murderous aura comes out, the kind of eyes that everyone has sharpened in the sword light and blood shadow will meet, and you will immediately know the other party's catties. The beast-like aura he cultivated from practicing survival in the wilderness since he was a child, and after countless times of passing through the ghost gate, it is enough to make this ordinary criminal fearful.

Xiao Yi actually took out his sword and swung it a few times in accordance with the atmosphere. Although she doesn't have much momentum, she still has a posture.

The old thief nodded, he could also see the pound and two pounds of the young man in front of him, returned the seal to Asa, looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "Then ...... she"

"This is the daughter of a duke, my lover. "Asa will introduce you. "I beg your pardon for not being able to name her father, who eloped with me behind her family's back. ”

All the thieves were in a commotion again, but such an unbelievable thing on the head of such a powerful person could only be regarded as a capable person, and it was not enough to arouse any suspicion.

It was dusk, and the gang of thieves was finally dealt with, and only Asa and Xiaoyi were left in the room. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, Asa breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "Do you know that you almost killed me miserably?"

"I don't know, but I know that if you go to acting or cheating on girls, you will definitely have a good future. Great lover. Xiao Yi looked at him and said with a smile.

Asa blushed a little, coughed and said, "No way, only then will they be easy to believe." I was taught by the magistrate here. By the way, are you already in good health?"

"Thank you for finding me such a good medicine, and for saving me again. She walked up to Asa, looked at Assa's face very carefully and said, "Thank you very much." "It was the first time Asa had come to see her in a normal environment and in a normal state of mind. At such a close distance, those hazy eyes seemed to exude a special smell, which made Asa feel strange.

"Did you really do that thing about the Minister of Airy's Imperial Mission?" Xiao Yi also saw the seal just now.

"No, I'm just lying to them. ”

"And where did you get that seal?"

"Well.... I chose it. Asa quickly changed the subject and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I was here to save my sister, but I met my sister and your friend on the way, and I heard that you are still in this place. I came to the town hall here to look for you, and the magistrate said that you were hanging out with a gang of thieves, and told me that you were staying in this hotel, so I came, but I didn't expect to encounter such a scene. Actually, I was going to ask you to go with me to the Lizard Swamp to retrieve my backpack. ”

Asa frowned, he couldn't figure out why Lord Porugan had told her all these things. "The backpack fell there half a year ago, and it was already rotten in the sun and rain. And who remembers the exact location?"

"Yes? Then I'll go with you to that orc city-state to have fun. Anyway, you've already introduced those thieves, and your lover has found it, so there's no reason to leave in the blink of an eye. Xiao Yi actually smiled generously.

It might be nice to have someone to keep you company, and she's good at it, and ..... All in all feels good. "And where are you staying?" Asa didn't know why he had asked out of the blue.

"It's right here, you said that, what if you don't live here. ”

"Oh......" Asa hurriedly said, "Then I'll go take a shower first." He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you going to wash too?"

Xiao Yi looked at him, and the slender eyes that were originally very charming turned out to be as charming as they were widened. She drew her sword and quickly danced a few sword flowers in front of Asa, then pointed at him with the tip of her sword in front of his face, and said one word at each point: "Please don't think too much, you sleep on the ground." ”
