Chapter Seventy-Four: The Thief Who Died Tragically

"My lord, I have already retrieved the treasure you wanted. ”

In a dark basement with only a dim candlelight, a man dressed in black and wearing a mask suddenly appeared in the room, knelt down on one knee, and respectfully held a long strip of gray and black rag on his head.

After a long while, the person who was sitting in the darkness finally stood up, and his slightly broad body had a different kind of oppressive force under the dim candlelight behind him.

Taking the long strip-like object that the man in black held above his head with one hand, and feeling the disgusting greasy feeling in his hand, the man's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in disgust:

"Why did you choose such a disgusting piece of cloth to wrap this precious treasure?"

In the face of the man's inquiry, the body of the man in black trembled involuntarily, and replied in a trembling voice with a slight horror: "Report to your lordship, this cloth was wrapped by the thief who originally stole this treasure, and in view of your previous request to get it back as soon as possible, my subordinates did not take the time to replace this cloth, please forgive me." ”

"Forget it, it's just a little disgusting anyway, just get the treasure back. To the answer of the man in black, the man nodded indifferently, and then gently lifted the corner of the layer of greasy linen, revealing the true face of the long strip of items inside, looking at the true body of the disgusting linen treasure, the man raised his head slightly, revealing an indescribable happy expression:" It's really a perfect treasure, I really didn't expect that the fool's failure would create such a perfect work, and the initial support was not without a return, this perfect and harmonious force, it is really pleasant. ”

After staying in this state for a long time, the man who could not see his face at all in the darkness finally broke away from his thoughts, covered the long strip of treasure again, and then handed it out slightly to the right, and without him saying any instructions, a man in black who was also respectful suddenly appeared beside him and took the thing away.

"Put it away carefully, and wait until the other leaders come before you take it out, do you know?" After this command, the man turned his gaze back to the man in black who was half-kneeling on the ground, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "The thing has been brought back, what about the thief who stole it?"

"I have extinguished my mouth as you commanded me. ”

"I don't leave any traces. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, although there is no way to disguise suicide as originally planned because of the battle, after proper handling by our subordinates, there will definitely be no clues left there for others to find our traces. ”

Hearing the answer of the man in black packing the ticket, the man bowed slightly.

"That's good, our stronghold is still not strong enough after all, if we accidentally lure the original owner of this thing over, it won't end well. ”

After saying this, the man waved his hand, and the man in black kneeling below immediately disappeared in place, and after a while, the man also left here, and the dark basement became empty again, only the flickering candle flame showed that the previous scene was not false.

......

The next day, on the streets of the civilian neighborhood of the city of Patneno.

"It's so annoying, this place smells bad, why are you here, Mino?"

Walking on the streets of the dirty civilian area, smelling the smell of excrement in the shadows, the rotten smell of the debris pile, and the bad smell of rotting from the littered garbage, Valya covered her nose and asked loudly to Minow, who was also unpale.

"Valya, don't you have to accept all kinds of suffering, an ascetic who sharpens himself with suffering, and you still aim to become a legendary warrior monk, why can't you even accept this little smell?"

"It's not the same, this stink is so bad or not, it's good that the ascetic is just able to endure suffering, it's not that the ascetic doesn't have to like those nasty environments, as a girl, although Valya is not afraid, but she doesn't like this nasty place at all!"

In the face of Valya's angry answer, Mino turned his head, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said with a little surprise: "I see, I thought that the ascetics were all crazy perverts who take pleasure in suffering and grinding, it turns out that there are exceptions, it seems that Valya, your cute appearance is really not in vain." ”

"You're a madman and pervert, you dare to speak ill of an ascetic, Valya wants to punish Mino, you scoundrel on everyone's behalf!"

As she spoke, Valya let out a loud cry and pulled out the long stick on her back and slashed at Mino.

Fortunately, this stick seems to be sharp, but in fact, it is not on the surface, and Mino just reached out and grabbed the stick in his hand.

"Don't make a fuss about Valya, don't you like this kind of environment, then be honest with me, go forward obediently, and we'll go back when we're done." ”

With that, Mino let go of the long stick in his hand, turned around and continued to walk forward.

"By the way, Mino, you haven't told Valya what we're doing here!"

In the face of Valya's straightforward questioning, Mino turned his head, covered his forehead, and showed a helpless wry smile.

"Of course it's to get back what I stolen, Valya, you guys are really heartless, and if you find your own things, you don't care about the benefactor who helped you find them, but my collapsed ambition hasn't been found yet!"

"yes, Mino, your treasure was stolen too, why didn't you get it back yesterday?"

Hearing Valya's question, Mino slapped his forehead and showed a dejected expression of being defeated by you.

"Is there any mistake, didn't you listen to a word of what I said to that profiteer in Tamur yesterday? The profiteer only received your treasure badge, and he never even saw my staff, it must be that the thief couldn't estimate the value of the collapsed ambition, but he felt that it should be expensive, so he was afraid of the black and black, so he didn't choose to sell it directly to the profiteer in Tamur. ”

"But what does it have to do with us coming here?"

"Why doesn't it matter, Valya, didn't you leave your brain at home and didn't bring it out?"

Seeing Valya's puzzled face, Mino almost collapsed, he grabbed Valya's shoulder with one hand and roared loudly, slamming open the door on the side.

"We're here to catch that damn thief and force him to hand it back............ Ahh

After pushing open the door, Mino's angry roar that had originally reprimanded Valya instantly returned to his stomach, and after a moment of silence, it turned into a terrible scream and suddenly erupted.

For in the middle of that door was a human body lying in a pool of blood, slaughtered into several pieces. (To be continued.) )
