Chapter Seventy-Five: The Vanishing Staff

"What's the matter, Mino, did you see the rats? ...... scared by the rats?"

Apparently, Mino's screams aroused Valya's intense curiosity, and almost effortlessly focused Valya's distracted attention due to the poor conditions in the civilian area.

"Wait!

At any time before, Mino would have been very happy about Valya's behavior of diverting her attention from the bad environment in the civilian area, but now Mino was so troubled by this that she would rather Valya continue to complain about herself because of the bad environment.

It's a pity that that's impossible, although Mino's physical fitness that has dissipated twice in a row has been made up for through exercise, but not to mention returning to the level that far surpasses the same level before, it is much worse than Valya, under Valya's sudden pounce action, the caught off guard Mino only blocked for a moment, and was rushed to the door where he was standing by Valya.

"Dead man, what's going on, did you mean that Mino, you brought Valya here to see the dead?"

However, just as Mino frowned, and was about to be attacked by a piercing scream, he was greeted by Valya's surprised but more annoyed and disdainful eyes.

For Valya's performance, Mino was stunned at first, then slapped his forehead, and smiled helplessly.

After all, he was still confused by the simplicity shown by Valya, you must know that even when he was only at the third level, he had been sent out by the church to carry out various missions, and the bloodshed he had seen in the process was simply too much to mention.

If it weren't for the fact that he was thinking about how to get back the collapsed ambition from the thief just now, he was too distracted, not to mention that he had experienced the baptism of the living dead in Sword Furnace Town not long ago, even Mino, who was only level three before, would not have been frightened and screamed because of a dead corpse, even if this corpse was indeed a little too hideous and bloody.

And Valya, as an ascetic who sharpens himself with suffering, has also reached the level of the fourth level, and has experienced a lot more battles than Mino, even if she may not have exercised much in her mind and logical way because she is not acting alone, but she should still have knowledge and courage.

Otherwise, if a simple girl with insufficient mind is also lacking in courage and knowledge, no matter how strong her strength is, I am afraid she will not be released by her guardian to experience.

Therefore, Mino's blocking move for fear of scaring Valya was completely superfluous, which undoubtedly made Mino feel a little embarrassed.

But that's fine, at least Mino doesn't have to worry about attracting the attention of the surrounding residents because of the screams, causing some unnecessary trouble for the next action.

After all, the screams of girls because of fright, but the existence that can scare the dying people to jump up, if it really appears, it is basically impossible not to attract attention, and although Mino also screamed just now, the range of influence is very small because the volume is not high, judging from the fact that there is no echo now, it should not have attracted anyone's attention.

So after dealing with Valya casually, Mino took Valya into the house that belonged to the thief.

This is a small one-room hut, from the perspective of structure and material, it can be said that in addition to the stone structure is more, it is a little stronger than the wood and stone huts in other civilian areas, and there is not much damage, there is nothing special.

And the structure of the interior is the same, an old bed, a simple rotten wooden cabinet, a patchwork wooden table and the same few stools, a simple stone kitchen counter and a few simple kitchen utensils are all the things in this house, if it weren't for the corpse lying in a pool of blood on the ground, I'm afraid that even if other civilians accidentally opened the door here, they wouldn't have raised the idea of coming in and ordering something.

Mino had expected this, after all, from the known information, this was just a temporary residence for the thief to avoid risks, and naturally he wanted to get along with the civilian area in order to disguise his identity, and as for the enjoyment of life, it would be handed over to his permanent residence in the Brotherhood of Thieves.

However, it is precisely because of this that Mino brought Valya here in the first place, instead of going to the Brotherhood of Thieves, after all, these thieves probably prefer to keep their precious things in the safest place they think are compared to the places where the Brotherhood of Thieves comes and goes, and judging from the body of the thief in the room, the situation seems to be the same as Mino's thoughts.

Unfortunately, it was the corpse of the thief that cast a shadow over Mino's trip, and if the thief really stored the collapsed ambition he had stolen from Mino, it was unlikely that it would be taken away by the murderer.

After all, staffs are really valuable.

But even if there are such concerns, what needs to be done still has to be done, so after Mino told Valya to stay where she was and not touch anything in the room, she began to search the room.

On the bed, under the bed, in the wardrobe, up and down the kitchen counter, the four walls and beams of the house, and even the shallow underground have been carefully investigated by Mino with relevant magic, it can be said that unless the thief is a high-level mage of the earth system or the School of Change who has hidden the ambition of collapse into the depths of the ground, otherwise Mino's ambition for collapse should be found out.

However, this did not happen, and after some painstaking searching, his hands were still empty.

"Didn't you find it, Mino, you're in the wrong place, no fool would hide the precious treasure you said in such a place, if Valya, she would have hidden the treasure in the safest place!"

The bored Valya saw Mino's empty hands, her eyes were slight, and she grinned and smiled at Mino with disdain, obviously, he didn't care about the exchange of information between Mino and Tamr last night, and he didn't know why Mino's came here, but simply regarded it as a random attempt by Mino, just like Mino had taken her to various shops to inquire before.

For Valya's non-malicious ridicule, Minow, who returned empty-handed, not only did not get angry because of this, but even did not even look disappointed, except for a trace of helplessness on his face, but more of that faint smile.

"No, Valya, the crumbling ambition was once hidden here by what you called a fool, as I suspected, but it was stolen. ”

Patting Valya's little head, Mino pointed to the corpse on the ground and said this to Valya. (To be continued.) )
