Chapter 043: Stealing the Ledger
The deserted aristocratic manor was no longer as quiet as it had been, and there were faint shouts and fights everywhere.
The manor parlor was still relatively quiet at this time, and suddenly,
Whizzing!
The two figures jumped out of the dark passage stairs like arrows from the string, and the figures in front of them collided with the wooden door and walked away. A figure behind him immediately followed him, and of course these two were Donn and Jack.
"Brother is not particular, first start to say that each depends on his ability. Now that I've got it, why are you still bothered?"
With a flick of his wrist, Donn struck away the half-moon blade that was silently approaching because of the sound muffled.
"No!" Donn stabbed at Jack, "you're a thief, it's your job to get something." And I'm an Assassin...... Leave the wooden box or stay alive, you choose one!"
"W-what?" said Jack, scrambling to avoid the dagger, "You're really an assassin? Damn, you're foul!"
"Oh? Is there a saying that the Assassins are not allowed to participate?"
"Uh......"
The man in gray only said that whoever could get the wooden box was eligible to take the task, but he didn't say that he had to be a thief.
"Brother Arthur, you have to do a line of love, and thieves are hard, so why rob us of our business!" Jack persuaded bitterly.
"You don't have to worry about this, compound talents are more popular now!!"
As the words fell, Donn's figure flashed, and a few red rays instantly appeared around Jack.
Jack screamed, waved his hand and threw out a filamentous object that wrapped around the eaves in front of him, then swung away from above and landed in the courtyard.
Nima, how many things are on this thing...... Tang En cursed secretly, stepped on the steps and floated down to chase after him.
"Haha, Rainstorm Pear Blossom!!"
Jack, who was about to run away, suddenly turned around, shook his hand and threw out a large piece of dark pressure and suppressed a large piece of hidden weapon, and with a groan, enveloping Donn's whole body.
I have to say that Jack took this opportunity quite well. Tang En is now in the air, with nowhere to borrow strength, such a large number of darts shot from all angles are bound to be hit under normal circumstances.
At this moment, I saw Tang En's dagger on his chest, and Linkong's body seemed to stagnate at this moment. The red light on the dagger shrank uncertainly, like a blood flower about to bloom,
"Flowers!"
The red mangs skyrocketed, the blood flowers shattered, and pieces of blood-colored swords suddenly exploded in full force, covering Tang En's entire body.
Bang, bang, bang!
All the half-moon blades in the area covered by the blood were crushed, and they were smashed into thin iron shards in the sky.
Hit the ground and stand with your hands in your hands.
Snort, tear, bang......
The statue of the goddess holding the vase in the middle of the courtyard collapsed and shattered all over the ground. This is caused by the impact of broken iron pieces that have been scattered......
"God, God......" the corners of Jack's mouth twitched, and he groaned like a toothache.
Tang En looked at the mess all over the ground, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and his trembling arms behind his back didn't feel pain for the time being. That's right, it's a mess.
Flowers, first practice. The dance of the dagger, the bloom of the flower of blood. Cooldown for 1 minute, consumes 300 HP.
At the back of the Flame Dragon Society's station, Don En used a half-tricked trick to repel Bernie. In the subsequent recuperation, Don worked hard in the space, and finally mastered this attack skill.
Now Ranhua is at the lowest level of beginner learning like Ghost, but the difference is that this skill is very difficult for Don to use. Because this skill requires too much flexibility in the wrist, once you use it, Donn's hand will cramp once, which is really frustrating.
Bang!
The sound of things falling to the ground brought Donn and Jack back to their senses, and they looked away subconsciously.
I saw a brown box tumbling and falling out of the wreckage of the vase..........
Ice......
This wooden box is indeed cleverly hidden, let's say it's hidden, it's in public. Let's say it's not hidden, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them smashed the statue by mistake, who would have paid attention to this long-dried fountain statue?
Sizzle, a silk thread suddenly shot over, and it was about to be wound around the wooden box.
Donn's eyebrows shifted his gaze away, his narrow eyes narrowing slightly, straight at Jack.
"Uh...... haha, hand error. Conditioned, conditioned, haha......" Jack smiled dryly and withdrew the silk thread.
What are you kidding, one wooden box is going to shout and kill, two wooden boxes...... Looking at the shattered sculpture, Jack swallowed, is there still life?
Don stepped over unhurriedly and picked up the wooden box. Brown, just a hand, the texture is precious nanmu, the feel is quite comfortable.
Flipping it over, Donn took the wooden box into his arms, and then looked up at Jack.
"Uh, what are you looking at? What do you want to do......" Jack wary of the cat's waist, clasping the hidden weapon in each hand.
Tang En was quite calm: "Hehe, I'm thinking if it's better to be a single or a pair?"
"This ...... Of course, it's good to be alone, but scarcity is expensive!"
"Yes......" Don said noncommittally.
"Absolutely...... Let me tell you, be kind. Jack took a step back, his eyes scanning his surroundings.
“haha。 Take it easy. I just wanted to ask you a question. Looking at Jack, who was about to run away, Don Haha smiled, and his heart was finally much more relaxed.
Of course, Don wasn't going to snatch Jack's box, not to mention his hands were shaking right now. This move doesn't make much sense at all, after all, only one wooden box is needed.
"Uh...... What's the problem?" Jack looked at Donn suspiciously, making sure it wasn't a plot to paralyze himself.
"I wonder what this mission is all about?"
............
After some conversation, Don finally got some information out of Jack's mouth.
It turns out that the task bar of the Thieves Guild has recently released a task for thieves above level 5, and the content of the task is very simple, that is, to gather here tonight. However, the follow-up bonus is indeed tempting, with 10,000 gold coins, so there are so many thieves gathered here tonight.
When Don and Jack, who had turned back into gnomes, returned to the front hall, they found that the perimeter was already under martial law by the black-armored guards.
However, after the two took out the wooden box, the black armor guard politely invited the two in.
At this time, there were only a few people in the hall, and in addition to the gray man, there were three thieves with wooden boxes standing aside.
Seeing Don and Jack come in, the gray-clothed man Haha smiled and said, "Okay, you are worthy of being the top thieves in Laiyan City, and you have gathered the wooden box so quickly." ”
"Okay, now that everyone is together, let's talk about the task. The one who spoke was the man who first began to look indifferent.
"Haha, of course. The man in gray took out a scroll and spread it out on the table, "Look, everybody." ”
Tang and the others stepped forward, and saw that the scroll depicted a large area of lifelike buildings. Leaning Towers, castles, courtyards, lofts, and much more.
"It's ...... Noble castle?" Jack said with a frown.
The so-called aristocratic castle is an upgraded version of the aristocratic manor, which is the base of some powerful nobles.
The man in gray nodded and said, "Yes, this is the Auston family castle." ”
"Auston!"
A few thieves couldn't help but snort, of course the Auston family knew about it. Even Tang En has heard of it, this is one of the four major earl families in Lai Yan City, and it is very powerful.
"Could it be that this is the location of this mission?" asked one of the thieves.
"Yes, this mission is to steal something from the Auston family castle. I wonder if you dare to give it a try?"...,
After a moment of silence, the indifferent male thief spoke, "You don't need to be agitated. Since ancient times, wealth has been sought in danger, especially for thieves. Besides, it's all at this point, of course, to give it a try. ”
The thieves nodded, originally, the strength of the Auston family is strong, but they are thieves, what they have to do is to steal, not to face the Auston family.
Besides, the profession of thieves is a profession that wanders on the edge of danger, except for Tang En, all of them are level 5 thieves or above, and those who can get to this point are of course some brave people, and the danger is just excitement and challenge for them.
Seeing that all the thieves expressed their willingness to give it a try, the corner of the gray-clothed man's mouth twitched: "Okay, have guts." This time it's a ledger to steal!"
"Ledger?"
"Well, specifically, the ledger smuggled by the Auston family. ”
Jack stared at the scroll and said, "Auston Castle is so big, I don't know what clues there are?"
"Yes!" the man in gray stretched out his finger and pointed at the scroll, "We have received some information that this castle has five secret passages, the bedroom of the Earl of Auston, the study, the treasury, the Leaning Tower Secret Room, and the small council chamber. The ledger should be in one of the tunnels. You can search in a place of your choice, and if one of you manages to get the ledger, the others will also receive a thousand gold coins. ”
"I'll pick the storeroom!" said Jack first.
"I choose ...... bedroom"
In a moment, the five of them were assigned their respective search places, and Tang En chose the study.
At this time, the man in gray spoke again: "Okay, tomorrow night at six o'clock, the Auston family will hold a large party, and there are invitations in the wooden box in your hands. After the mission is successful, you can go here and hand over the ledger to me in exchange for a bounty. Well, what else don't you understand?"
Jack looked left and right, spreading his hands.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you tomorrow night!"
After speaking, the gray-clothed man arched his hand and led the black-armored guards out of the front hall.
Naturally, Don had nothing to say to these thieves, and turned around and left the noble manor.
