Chapter 041: A Brilliant Thief
It was almost dark, and the inside of the manor was ruined and dusty. The fountain of the goddess holding the vase in the courtyard had long since dried up, and it was full of dead branches and leaves, and it was a desolate scene.
However, if you can observe it carefully, you can still get a glimpse of the refinement of the past from some remnants of the old eaves. This once prosperous aristocratic manor also covers a huge area, and dozens of thieves have taken the lead in it, but now it seems that it has disappeared at all.
Don came out a little late, and he had already lost the opportunity. However, he was not very confident in finding the wooden box, so he was not in a hurry. It's just that when passing through each small building, I take a glimpse and go deeper into the interior of the manor. Just as Don was passing through the half-white stone corridor, a sudden voice came,
"Hey, there's finally one. This brother, come this way. ”
When I looked up, I saw a figure dressed in soft leather armor and light cloud boots standing at the door of the side hall.
"Hello, my name is Jack. A pair of flexible eyes on his slightly handsome face looked at Don very quickly.
"Arthur. ”
In the other world, hundreds of thousands of people are afraid that they are called that.
"Look up for a long time, look up to ...... for a long time", "Fortunately, I will be fortunate to be ......"
The two tacitly arched their hands, looked at each other and smiled.
"Brother Arthur, did you find any clues?" said Jack.
"Not really, did Brother Jack find anything?"
"I can't talk about discovering, but I found something interesting......"
After a short conversation, Don finally knew why Jack was calling him. It turned out that this Jack had not been searching for long, and he found a secret door in one place. Originally, of course, this kind of thing was to make a fortune by yourself. However, after some research, Jack found that the secret door required at least two people to open. So Jack had to come out and find someone to work with.
"Let's open the secret door first, and if there's no wooden box inside, then let's stop...... If so, how about we do what we can then?"
Getting the clue out of thin air, Tang En naturally nodded in agreement.
"Ha, okay, come with me. ”
Passing through the side hall and pushing open the half-hidden wooden door, Jack led Donn to what looked like a living room. At this time, except for a few rows of lonely pillars, the room was empty, and the tables and chairs were all cleaned. Some large tables that were hard to take away were also completely destroyed and pushed aside.
There's a secret door?Donn looked around, but didn't see the slightest trace. With a tap on his heel, a dull sound echoed.
Jack reached out and tapped a few times on the pillar beside him, and a small door slid silently open under the pillar, revealing a dark gold strip handle inside.
Jack pointed to the ring above the handle and said, "There should also be something like a chain here, connected to another handle, and then through a device, to achieve the effect of activating at the same time...... The device must have been dismantled now, but luckily there were two of us, and we could pull it at the same time to activate it. ”
That's what professionalism ...... Don touched his nose in understanding.
The two stood in a diagonal line, holding cold handles. Jack took a deep breath,
"Up!"
Tang En only felt that his palms sank, and he hurriedly drank softly, and slammed the handle.
Tie, pierce, pierce......
There was a few small chains dragging sounds, and the floor in the middle of the house slowly sank. The designer also took into account that some people would use the method of vibrating the floor to test whether there was a dark passage below, so the weight of the stone floor design was very large, and the two of them worked together, which was just a corner of opening the dark passage.
But even a corner is enough to make people vaguely see that there is a xiangxia step inside.
"Hard!"
Seeing that the secret door was about to open, Jack let out another burst of excitement, and the red mangs of his arms soared, like flames burning in his arms. ...,
Tang En's movement was much smaller, and he saw a trace of blood appear in the palm of his hand, and he doubled his holdings - opened.
"Buzz!"
There was a soft muffled sound, a little dust fell from the beams, and the floor was finally completely opened, and a deep staircase appeared in front of the two.
"Hah......," Jack chuckled, just as he was about to speak. suddenly
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Tang En only felt a cool air rushing to his brain from the back tail vertebrae, and without thinking about it, his body twisted rapidly like a conditioned reflex, spinning and retreating backwards.
Three black shadows will shoot through the ears, armpits, and waists.
Bang, bang, bang! The wall behind him rattled, and the stone chips flew everywhere!
I-fuck ...... Don looked at the three iron crossbow arrows nailed to the wall, and couldn't help but explode into a foul mouth. Cold sweat slid down his sideburns, and he was terrified. If it weren't for the combination of haste and ghost skills that he had recently studied, and already had quite a bit of experience, I'm afraid he would have really been planted here.
At the same time, Jack's place was also attacked. However, he deserves to be a professional thief, and the crossbow bolt dodged and retreated in advance before he was killed, and he also avoided it without danger.
"Damn, this mechanism is insidious enough. Jack exhaled.
The three crossbows were cleverly designed, all of them emanating from the stairs, and the orientation of the two of them was calculated. If the person who opened the mechanism is too happy and careless, it is almost inevitable that he will be hit.
Although something went wrong, the secret door was opened. Naturally, Tang and the others would not retreat because of the danger just now.
After making sure that there was no mechanism at the entrance, Jack took out a small illumination crystal and walked down the stairs first.
From the stone steps at the foot, it can be seen that this secret passage was not built in a short period of time, probably because this noble manor was planned when it was established. I just don't know if those task publishers have discovered this secret passage, and if they do, then there is no reason why they don't put the wooden box in such a place where Haode hides things.
Such a simple truth, Don and Jack can naturally think of it. So knowing that there might be danger ahead, the two of them unconsciously sped up.
After passing the steps safely, the two came to a long corridor.
Jack aimed the lighting crystal at the large lighting crystal inlaid on the wall, and immediately a beam of white light flashed forward in a "Z" shape, connecting the crystals in front of him, and suddenly the dim corridor was as bright as day.
As far as the eye could see, there was not the slightest obstacle in the corridor, but the two of them stopped here at the same time.
Jack blinked, "Brother Arthur, why don't you leave?"
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Tang En chuckled: "This secret path was discovered by Jack, brother, how can I be embarrassed to take the lead, or you invite first!"
"Haha, you're welcome. Please, please!", Jack waved his arms and wanted to leave.
"Well, okay, let's go!"
......
For a moment, the two people who were still standing still looked at each other and smiled, and turned their faces.
"Insidious" and "obscene"
The two labeled each other at the same time in their hearts.
Referring to the mechanism before the opening of the dark passage, as long as you are not a person who lacks a heart and eye, you know that this seemingly flat corridor in front of you is definitely full of dangers. In this environment, both naturally want each other to walk in front and risk themselves.
Knowing that the other party was not stupid, the two finally chose to step forward at the same time.
At this time, I saw that Jack was a professional thief, and I saw him take out a boomerang from his waist. Jihua has a good angle and throws these darts one by one.
Boom, boom, boom......
Suddenly, in the long corridor, more than a dozen boomerangs swept ahead in a chaotic but orderly manner. suddenly
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......
Bang, bang, bang......
Some boomerangs seem to have cut something, causing a chain reaction at once. ...,
Crossbow arrows fly, axes and guns fall.
The corridor suddenly became extremely lively, and all kinds of weapons shot out from the ground, walls, and above. None of the dozen or so boomerangs fired were successfully returned.
The dust settled, and the corridor also changed at this time, becoming a display table for eighteen weapons!
Seeing the sight in front of them, the two swallowed unconsciously.
Nima, this is a bit big......
"Brother Arthur, this place is dangerous. Let me clear the way for you. Before the righteous and awe-inspiring words fell, Jack's figure swept forward like a storm.
Tang En was stunned for a moment, the scene in front of him was undoubtedly extremely dangerous. Although a lot of mechanisms have been broken, it is difficult to ensure that there is no omission, and it is still uncertain whether there is a wooden box inside, so this Jack suddenly rushed forward as if he was heroic and righteous, which is really incomprehensible.
What are you kidding...... Although the contact time has not been long, Don can be sure that this lewd guy will not be so kind.
At this time, Jack had already approached the trigger trap at the front, and saw him pause, and then he walked lightly through the bright weapons, swinging freely.
Weapons...... Don's heart moved, and he looked fixedly.
Damn, this lewd fellow!, Donn cursed and quickly followed Jack's footsteps.
As mentioned earlier, this secret passage existed a long time ago, and this noble manor has been abandoned for a long time. So even if there were mechanisms, these knives and axes would not be as bright as they are now, without a trace of rust. This is clearly added later, and it is reminiscent of what the man in gray said before, "arranging some organs". It can be said that the probability of having a wooden box in it is already a certainty.
Thinking of this, Don couldn't help but sigh that this Jack was worthy of being an excellent thief while scolding.
