Chapter 8: Thieves, Robbers, and Who Robbed Whom (Part I)

By noon, the carriage had approached the first transit point from the town of Watersea to Sparta, the town of Fahua.

It's a slightly more prosperous and affluent town than the small town of Wattsi.

The town is crowded with happy smiles on the faces of passers-by, and an elderly bard plays the harp next to the art sculpture in the central square of the town, surrounded by a group of cheerful and frolicking children.

In order not to delay the trip, Butian did not plan to stay more in this lively town.

After replenishing the dry rations and the grass that the horses needed to eat, Thomas complied with Butian's request, and drove the carriage out of the east gate of the small town of Fahua again.

The official road of the eastern road leading to the hinterland of the Principality of Crook.

Two brown horses with four hooves fluttering steadily dragged a black carriage along.

About five kilometers from the carriage there is a small forest full of coniferous pines, which is rare to see in late autumn when the whole mountain is covered with lush green trees.

Probably only a tree like a coniferous pine can resist the cold, standing tall and neatly lined up, like a gallant knight ready to attack.

This small mountain forest was named "Geyun Mountain Forest" by the villagers who lived nearby, and "Geyun" symbolizes life, green, and sunshine in the oldest legal code on the continent.

Richie was now holding a slender needle in his mouth, lying comfortably on a boulder at the foot of the Goyun Mountain Forest.

Beside him, there was a companion with a black veil over his face.

The guy with his head and tail looked short and sturdy, and he was dancing with his right hand, spinning a dagger with a dazzling silver light, like the wings of a butterfly, and the sound of sharp weapons cutting through the air came out continuously.

"I said, Locke, can you pause for a moment? It's time for my lunch break. You damn thing!"

Richie, who was lying on the boulder, seemed to be really unbearable for his companion's commotion, and couldn't help but curse angrily.

The sound of a knife entering its sheath sounded.

The masked man, Locke, coldly unsheathed his dagger and glanced at Hall. He whispered in a dry, cold voice, "According to the information from that kid, the prey is about to enter the cage. Although the prey is just a small one, we can't be careless. ”

"Hey, come on, Locke. A noble boy who has never seen much of the world, maybe he still sneaked out of the family privately, otherwise he is just a private person, and he doesn't even have a servant to serve closely. ”

Richie retorted with a sneer, and then continued as if trying to convince his companions: "Moreover, with the strength of both of us as low-level shadow thieves, a young boy on the other side can still turn the sky in our hands? ”

"Hahahaha" At this point, Richie seemed to be a little crazy, and he leaned on the boulder and laughed wildly.

"A long sword used for aristocratic decoration, hahahaha, is not only valuable, but it also shows that our prey is a complete pustule. Who would use that fragile ornament as a weapon?"

Locke looked at Richie with disdain as if he were a madman, but he now felt that what the other party said was reasonable.

"A young boy, the only weapon he has is a noble ornamental sword. Locke himself was convinced that this prey would not have the strength to resist.

However, he has always been cautious, and he still does not take it lightly. For some reason, he always had an indescribable sense of unease.

The horse's hooves rattled against the ground, kicking up a thick cloud of dust, followed closely by the wagon with rolling wheels.

"Sir, if you go forward for a while, you can see the famous Geyun Mountains and Forests nearby. The conifer trees in the mountains are all over the forest, and it is rare to see such a green area in this season. ”

While driving the carriage, Thomas seemed to be a little excited and admired and shouted to the people in the carriage.

"Oh. I'm going to get out of the car and enjoy this rare view. Butian said thoughtfully.

Thomas was overjoyed when he heard the words outside the carriage, but he quickly relented. Boldly and tentatively asked, "Aren't you afraid of delaying your trip?" ”

"Hehe, it's okay. It's just a matter of delaying for a while. Just get out of the car and relax. A gentle voice came from the carriage.

"Yes, sir. Thomas replied, suppressing his excitement.

"Hi Locke, here we are. ”

As far as the eye can see, a horse-drawn carriage gradually appears a blurred shadow. Richie deftly rolled over the boulder and smiled at Wood on the side.

Locke ignored Hall's shouts, he stared coldly at the vague shadow of the carriage in the distance, and when the carriage became somewhat clear as it slowly approached, he said a word to Richie without looking back.

"Let's get ready. Don't be careless. ”

Richie rolled his eyes, but quickly began to hide his form.

But he saw him standing still in place, clasping his hands together and picking up one of his delicate short daggers, slowly maintaining this strange movement until his chest stopped, his eyes slightly closed, and his mouth was full of words.

This look, if Rang Butian saw it, maybe he would have thought that he had met the next generation of Shakyamuni in the French continent.

Richie's strange behavior didn't last long, and he saw that the space in front of him was like a fish's tail rolling up in the water, and his figure also became like nothing in this spatial fluctuation.

In the next moment, the fluctuating space suddenly subsided, and Richie's figure disappeared without a trace like a drop of water falling into the sea.

And Locke, after carefully erasing the traces left by their actions around him, also learned from Richie's strange behavior just now, with a hint of weirdness, and in a moment, the figure completely disappeared in place.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.

There was only a palm-sized carriage on the official road, which slowly enlarged in Wood's eyes over time.

There was a long hissing, and the hurried carriage gradually slowed down and slowly stopped moving.

"Sir, we have arrived at the Geyun Mountain Forest. Thomas glanced around the neighborhood without a trace, and then turned around and helped open the door of the car in front of the walking path in the carriage.

"Well, let's go down and take a look then. ”

Butian got up unhurriedly and tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the carriage with his feet raised.

"Ha, it's a good place, it's amazing. ”

Butian looked at the vibrant coniferous forest in front of him, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and praised sincerely.

"This is indeed a good place, sir, do you think it would be a good choice to bury bones here? ”

Thomas stood behind Butian, suddenly changed the respectful and humble look on his face, and said with some gloom.

"Oh, you're right, it's a good place to bury bones. ”

To Thomas's surprise, Bu Tian turned around and agreed with him with a smile.

This strange scene made Thomas stunned, and even the facial expression that had not had time to change was completely stiffened on his face, which looked quite funny.

Coming back to his senses, Thomas was a little annoyed, knowing that the other party was playing tricks on him. However, he quickly suppressed his anger, looked at Butian with some mockery, and smiled sarcastically: "I don't know if you're really stupid or fake, but none of this matters."

Thomas's words just fell. Bu Tian felt a sharp sound of sharp weapons breaking the wind behind him, the speed was unbelievably fast, only between the lightning and flint, the attack was already approaching, and the cold and piercing edge of the sharp weapon was aimed directly at Butian's heart.

With Butian's sensitivity of up to 26 points, he couldn't even dodge it, or his body's reaction speed couldn't keep up with his nerve reaction speed at all.

In the crisis of life and death, Butian hysterically squeezed the last trace of potential in his body, narrowly avoided the direct injury to the heart, but he was still pierced through the shoulder by the sharp weapon from behind him, and the bones were deeply visible.

"Poof"

Blood splatters.

Bu Tian's entire body was swooped forward by the powerful blow generated by this ruthless attack.

However, the vicious assassin behind him still followed the body of Butian Qianlun, and stabbed the short blade in his hand mercilessly, this time the target was directed at the throat, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Thomas panicked and avoided Butian's body, he was just an ordinary person, without the slightest strength, but he didn't dare to participate in this bloody battle.

As long as Butian dies in the end, then he will be considered to have completed his task, and he will be given a share of the spoils.

It's just a matter of betraying the main household, and he doesn't need to exert too much effort to fight with his life, and he can get a lot of shiny coins, such a means of making money is really too fast.

"Hahahaha, these hateful nobles who are usually high up in the sky are still being played by me, and they are about to lose their lives. Thinking of this, Thomas couldn't help but feel a little excited, he looked at Butian's wolf appearance at this moment, and felt extreme perverted pleasure.

Bu Tian was indeed very wolf at the moment, because the extreme mental tension and the threat of death almost made him breathless, and dense beads of sweat had begun to ooze from his forehead, some of which had already flowed into his eyes because of the rapid dodge of his body, but he didn't dare to wipe it with his hands.

The assassin behind him seemed to have a great enmity with him, and the endless attacks were one after another, one more ruthless and fierce.

If it weren't for the fact that his agility was much higher than that of the other party, I am afraid that he would have hated the sword a long time ago.
