Chapter 2: The Nightingale

After Qiubai left the reception room, he was led upstairs to the guest room by the staff of the guild, it seemed that the next few days of food and lodging were covered, and just now in the room, I saw the drunk and unconscious Lao Wu lying on a bed. Shook his head helplessly, "You can't drink it and pretend, this time you're feeling better." With that, he lay down on the other bed and fell asleep.

"Falgar, don't you believe him too much?" In the other room, Ruzakura asked, taking care of her hair. Falgar stood behind her, "Mademoiselle believes, I believe." Ignoring Falgar's answer, Sakura said to herself, "The spies we sent to the dwarves have reported that just half a year ago, two humans entered the abyssal pits of Ironforge and stole a shipment of Adamantite. No one knew how they got out of the pit, and rumor had it that one of the two seemed to be able to use the Dryad's magic, so the direction of investigation had been the Dryad's brigade. Falgar seemed to be intrigued. Miss, you mean to say that this person will use the green elf's hex? Ruzakura put down the comb and looked at her face in the mirror, and smiled slightly, "I want to know what this batch of Adamantite will be used for." Oh, by the way, Falgar, is the news out? Falgar solemnly gave a knightly salute, "It's been spread." Hearing this, Ryu Sakura pouted in the mirror, "You say, I don't look better than my sister." ”

"Knock knock, Mr. Qiubai, your dinner is ready, will you eat in the guest room or go to the hall." A knock on the door woke up the sleeping Autumn Bai.

Qiubai stretched, hit Hache, got out of bed and turned on the gas lamp, "You put it at the door, I'll come." ”

"Yes, what about your squire's share?"

"He's still drunk, let's talk about it when we wake up."

"Yes, sir."

Qiu Bai listened to the footsteps outside the door and slowly disappeared into the stairs and took the food into the house, but he didn't eat it, but stared at the food deadly, and couldn't help but laugh out loud after a few minutes, "This method is a bit inferior." As he spoke, he took out a piece of eye lens from his pocket and hung it on his right eye, and the food in his field of vision was tinged with a faint pink smell at this time, which was very weird. Well? I thought it was poison. With that, he took out another black pill, ate it, and feasted on it.

……

No matter how lively the town is during the day, it tends to be quiet after night. Only a few distant sounds of barking dogs, cats, or some kind of knocking over can be heard, and the rest of the sounds are silent.

The window of the "squeak" room was slowly opened, and a black shadow jumped into the room with a swish, but there was no sound, and soon the black shadow locked the lacquered wooden box at the head of the bed, and then carefully picked up and turned around to leave from the window, at this moment a faint voice sounded, "It's not good to run to someone's room in the middle of the night to steal things, the key is to take drugs." The black shadow was startled, and before he had time to react, he jumped through the window and flew away. Want to run? Seeing this, Qiubai also pounced. I saw two figures running one after the other on the roofs under the dark night.

After all, it was holding a box, and the black shadow's movement was restricted to a certain extent, and it looked like it was about to be caught up. A crisp whistle sounded from one at a time. Immediately afterwards, a silver light flew towards Qiubai. "I'll go, and accomplices." Qiu Bai was startled, flew to dodge, and at the same time raised a hand, there was a slight sound of clinking between his sleeves, and then a flying arrow hit the black shadow that was still running, followed by a deep groan, and then fell heavily on the roof. And the lacquer box in his hand was also thrown open, and an ordinary stone rolled out of it. Seeing this, Qiu Bai didn't care about the guy who shot the cold arrow at him just now, and jumped down directly to the side of the black shadow, followed by a hand knife that knocked the man in black who hadn't gotten up yet. Qiu Bai looked at the black-clothed man lying on the ground, then looked at the stones and lacquer boxes that rolled down next to him, and muttered to himself, "If you don't believe me, don't use it, give money and play like this, hey~ The next few days will be difficult." With that, he picked up the man in black and returned to his room.

The drunken old five just happened to be awakened by thirst and was looking around for water. Just when the fifth child complained that he was going downstairs, Qiu Bai kicked the door open and threw the man in black onto the sofa in the room. "I'll go, what did the little boss do, rob people." Lao Wu looked at the man in black leaning on the sofa with a confused expression. Qiubai seemed to be tired enough, panting heavily, and after relieving for a while, he tore off the mask of the man in black, and then he saw that it was actually a girl who was carrying it back. Now the fifth child was happy, and stabbed Qiubai with a cheap face, "Okay, little boss, I also robbed a girl, and I am so smart." Although it is a joke, this girl in black does look a little good, and her eyebrows are heroic. Qiubai pointed angrily, "Bundle...... Tie up, bundle strongly, this guy is here to grab something. Lao Wu is still happy to help with this kind of thing, so he turned around and took out a rope from his backpack and tied the woman in black firmly with three strokes and five by two.

After a while, Qiu Bai saw that the eyelids of the man in black seemed to move and thought, "Sure enough, I have received professional training, and I haven't been in a coma for long." After a few more minutes, the woman in black slowly opened her eyes, looked around, and then looked at Qiubai, who was sitting opposite her, and sighed. Kill me. The woman's voice was cold. Qiubai shook his head, "Kill you, it's a little cheap for you." "At this moment, the fifth child who went downstairs to eat also came back, sat on another sofa with his ass, and burped hard." Little boss, what's the matter, did you say anything? Qiubai shook his head, "It seems that he won't say anything." The fifth child smiled and wiped his hands on his pants lovingly, "Female assassin, you can't be judged like this, you have to be like this." As he spoke, he got up and leaned over with a leaning face. Seeing this, the woman in black closed her eyes and glanced to the side fiercely, tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, as if she had accepted her fate.

"Okay, old five, you can stop." After Qiubai finished speaking, Lao Wuyi sat back on the sofa, "Cut~ It's boring, you can judge it yourself, I'll go downstairs to drink, and some of the other brigades downstairs are good-looking girls." With that, he got up and left the room. Qiubai looked at the girl who was still crying and sighed helplessly, "I know the whistle of your companion, Nightingale, you are Nightingale?" I'm not going to pursue anything, I just don't understand what the people of the Nightingale want the Philosopher's Stone to do. I remember that there are no people in the alchemy workshop among you, and you are only loyal to the lord of the city of Flandos, so let me ask another question, what does the lord of the city do with this thing? ”

Seeing that the girl in black was still silent, Qiu Bai didn't have any way, "Okay, since you don't want to say it, then I have no other way," said he took out a bottle of pills from his jacket pocket and poured one and put it on the table, "The arrow I shot you is poisonous, this is the antidote." As he spoke, he got up and loosened the rope from the girl's body, "Let's go." The girl in black looked stunned, "Why?" Qiu Bai shrank into the sofa and found a more comfortable position, "Because you didn't want to do anything to me, poisoning is also a drug, and you don't want to kill me, why do you have to make a vendetta." As he spoke, he gestured to the antidote on the table, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, the poison is not strong, at most, the legs and feet are sore and weak for a whole day." The girl snorted coldly and walked out of the window, ignoring the pills on the table.

"Hey~ It's so difficult to trust people with each other, let alone three races. But ......" Qiubai stretched his waist, got up and walked in the direction of the door, "This thing is not over~"

……

"Did you hear that the Philosopher's Stone was stolen?"

"Huh? When did it happen? Shouldn't the Philosopher's Stones all be in the National Alchemy Workshop? ”

"Didn't last night's incident give white? Can you still lose it? ”

"What white?"

"The fifth child who invited us to drink yesterday, you know, them."

"It's still a named commission."

"Hey~ Have you ever heard of someone stealing it?"

"Who else could snatch the white, say it's the nightingale in the city."

"Oh, no wonder, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake."

"Then if you lose it, won't they ......"

"Whatever, stay away from them, and the province will depend on us."

……

"There is nothing to do, and it seems that it is the most suitable thing to talk about." Qiubai at the top of the stairs listened to the entire hall whispering about the theft of the Philosopher's Stone last night. Naturally, these news are fake, and they were also revealed by Qiu Bai at the signal of the fifth child.

"Falgar early." Dressed in a nightdress, Ryu Sakura leaned on the head of the bed and greeted Farga with a vibrant face, "Is there anything interesting today?" Falgar briefly reported some important things in the city, and Liuzakura nodded after listening to them one by one, "What else?" Falgar was silent for a few seconds, "Since last night, rumors have been circulating in the city that the Philosopher's Stone, which was entrusted to the White, has been stolen and that the nightingale in the city has done it. Ryu Sakura was amused, "What a smart guy, it's getting more and more interesting." Heck, if you can help me do this, this 10 million gold coins will not be unjust at all. Saying that, Liuying jumped to the ground, and Meimei stretched her waist, "Hmm~ I'm in a good mood today, let's go out of the city in the afternoon." Falgar replied, "Yes." Then he turned and went out.
