Chapter 040: Inexplicable Mission

After Alan left, Lena walked out of the house and was shocked to see the mountain of books.

"You bought all of these?"

"Well, that's good. Don looked up and smiled, "Well, doesn't it feel like you're surrounded by knowledge?" ”

"There is a siege, but ......," Lena said, picking up a book, "this is pharmacy, and although it is related to physicians, it is generally in the realm of alchemy." There is also this book "The Effect of Minor Injury Healing", which belongs to the category of magic and is a thing of the Temple of Light......"

“......”

Of course, Allen can't be blamed for this, it can only be said that Don has no concept of otherworldly doctors. He was talking about books on medical treatment at the time, with such a wide coverage, and these books were all sold by catty, so Alan naturally bought them all.

"But it's okay to accumulate more knowledge and prepare for my future career as a doctor." ”

"That's good, that's good!" Don touched his nose in embarrassment.

It doesn't matter if you have a bonsai or something, but you can't leave books stacked in the backyard.

Tang En's two-story building didn't have a study, so after discussion, Zuihou and the others decided to move the books to the hall first, and then take the time to buy a bookshelf. Lena picked out some small potted plants and put them in their respective houses.

"There is a woman who is really different", after a while, the originally monotonous room suddenly brightened up a lot, and Tang En, who has a sensitive sense of smell, always felt a faint light fragrance lingering next to his nose, and he really felt at home......

With everything in order, Don returned to the upstairs room and began to sort out the dagger and other things.

Spread out on the stationery on the table, a line of small words jumped on it,

"Mr. Assassin, please arrive at the end of the stone road lane in Xicheng District at six o'clock tonight. ”

The content is simple and the language is polite. In addition to the fact that there is no payment and the identity of the guest is more special, this letter is like an invitation to invite friends to come and visit.

Don left the key on the table, thought about it, and left the coins with a deed.

The initial turmoil in my heart has subsided, and this "invitation" Don must go. The other party sent a letter to Allen, clearly indicating that he already knew him very well. In order to find the Ghost Face, Tang En was bound to stay in Lai Rock City for a month, and he couldn't let this insecurity factor explode at any time go aside.

Besides, Don also wants to know, who is the other party, what is the purpose, and how did he find out his identity?

............

The location of Shilu Lane in Xicheng District is not too remote, and there are many residential houses at the entrance. However, this alley is too deep, so the back place is much more deserted, and many houses are deserted.

The largest of these abandoned houses is the one at the end of the alley, and if you ask the old man who lives here, he will tell you that it was once a very prosperous residence for aristocratic families. However, due to some changes, the family quickly declined, and later the family moved out of here. This house is also listed on consignment at the city affairs office, but because the price is too high, few people care about it.

But tonight, the dim light in the antechamber of this deserted mansion was dimly lit, and there were dozens of people sitting quietly in different positions, as if waiting for something.

These dozens of people are dressed in different costumes, some are dressed in black and some are covered in leather armor...... From time to time, someone took out a dagger, put it in the palm of his hand, and moved flexibly between his fingers, the cold light flashed wildly, which was dazzling.

Don was sitting in the corner on the left side of the hall, but his current appearance was obscene enough, the image of a dwarf man less than four feet tall. Needless to say, this is certainly a credit to the bone reduction.

Don was confused now, and when he first arrived, he thought it was an ambush. Unexpectedly, people just glanced at him and ignored him. When he carefully observed these people around him, he found that these people were all thieves, and they were not weak thieves. ...,

What the hell is going on......

Tang En's expression moved, and everyone in the hall also moved their eyes to the door.

Soon, there was a sound of trivial footsteps. The door was pushed open, and a group of black-armored guards armed to the teeth walked in with a gray-clad man with a black scarf on his face.

Needless to say, these people are waiting for the Lord to come.

The gray-clothed man took two steps forward, arched his hand, and said, "Welcome, high-ranking thieves of Lai Yan City!" His voice was hoarse, as if his throat had been pinched. The people in the hall were all connoisseurs, so they naturally knew that this person was speaking in a false voice.

At this time, in the back corner of the hall, a man in leather armor with an indifferent face stood up and said, "Needless to say, nonsense, you are the client?"

"It's down there. ”

"Good. Tasks, requirements, time!"

"Haha, refreshing. Then I'm not polite, my mission is to steal something. But before that, I'll need to put you to the test, because I only need five top thieves. ”

"What test?"

The gray-clothed man flipped his right hand, took out a brown wooden box and said, "In this mansion, there are five such wooden boxes, and whoever gets it will be eligible to take on the task." Of course, we have also arranged some agencies, and you are all experts, so it will not be difficult for you to come. ”

After a conversation, Don was completely dizzy, how could I not understand it at all......

Don had thought about all sorts of scenarios before he came, such as ambushes, threats, etc., but now the result was far more nonsensical than he had imagined, and Don now seriously doubted that he had gone to the wrong door.

In a trance, the dozens of thieves around had all disappeared, apparently looking for the wooden box.

"Is it a letter written by you?", since you don't understand, let's just ask.

"Believe, what believe?", said the man in gray, surprised.

Nima ...... Was it a joke Alan played with himself? No way, this place is obviously abnormal, Alan can't know about it.

"Mr. Thief, aren't you going to try it?" the man in gray asked, seeing that Don had been standing still.

Tang En's heart suddenly moved, could it be that the mysterious person who wrote the letter wanted him to participate in this mission?

"What is the content of this mission?"

"I'm sorry, but I'll have to wait until you get the wooden box. ”

Tang En nodded, no matter what, now that his identity is in the hands of the mysterious man, as long as he still wants to stay in Laiyan City, there is no choice.

Thinking of this, Don arched his hand towards the man in gray and exited the front hall.

When Don arrived, he had already roughly observed the house, and many houses were built on top of each other. It is undoubtedly not easy to find a palm-sized wooden box here. And if this wooden box is placed in some dark compartment, it is even more of a needle in a haystack.

Don is a killer, according to this Shijie is an assassin.

In the Atlas, the distinction between Assassins and Thieves is not particularly clear, as the line between the two is too easy to cross. Generally speaking, thieves include assassins, and assassins are a kind of thieves who go to extremes!

The so-called art industry has a specialty, and if it is a murderer, it is the business of an assassin. But if you slip the door and pick the lock to find something, it must be the strong point of the thief. Of course, this does not mean that thieves do not kill, you must know that in the wild, some thieves who act as scouts in the mercenary team are also very skilled and kill people without blinking.

Donn has recently added a lot of jumbled materials to the system, but it is far from being systematic. He doesn't know anything about traps, treasure hunting, and lockpicking. As it stands, unless you're unlucky, it's probably impossible to find the box.

After pondering for a moment, Don made up his mind.

Since he was an Assassin, of course, he did it in the style of an Assassin......
