Chapter 384: High-end bugging
Take a bath, wash your clothes, and bake them on the stove to dry. This place is relatively remote, although the facilities are a little rudimentary, but they are all OK.
The more troublesome point is that the amethyst ring was snatched by Seventeen, and Lanaya has no other clothes to wear, so she can only be temporarily wrapped in the guardian cloak, and the benefits of this cloak are finally in the right place.
Well, now look at what that kid Seventeen is up to.
As night fell, Seventeen's figure flew through the dark streets like a ghost. However, Lanaya can't see Seventeen, and the amethyst ring is in Seventeen's pocket, and Lanaya can only sense the change in direction, but not the surrounding environment.
Seventeen walked around the left and right into a studio that was about to close, and went down the stairs to the ground, where there was a wooden door. Seventeen opened the door with a key and slipped inside.
Seventeen lit a torch and continued on his way, which was a narrow, straight passageway, with no lights or gaps in the outside light.
As he walked, he put his hand in his pocket to make sure that the ring was still there, and when he touched it, he took it out, and by this time he had reached the end of the road.
At the end, there is another wooden door, but this one is much taller than the outer one, and the carvings and textures are much more complex. Its lock is slotted, wide and thick, and it appears that the key used to open it is a thick rectangular board.
Seventeen took the token engraved with the word "Seventeen" in his hand, inserted it into the lock of the door in front of him, and pushed the door in.
The light suddenly became brighter, and the space inside was extremely spacious, the structure of each hall was completely axisymmetrical, there were several rich yellow chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, the gray and blue triangular flags hung in the middle of the top beams and columns on both sides, and the yellow and red carpet was laid on the floor, and the whole interior was warm in color.
But such an environment cannot give people a warm feeling, and in the huge space, there is no one in the room. Because of the carpet, there is no sound when your feet step on the ground, and it seems that the place is very empty.
Seventeen walked into the second room on the right from the outside to the inside, and finally saw the first person.
The man was wiping a sword, and the room was filled with weapons. As soon as Seventeen stepped into this room, the man slowly turned around, and he was a middle-aged man, with a little silver thread in his hair and obvious wrinkles on his face.
"Master, this is today's harvest. Seventeen brought the amethyst ring to him.
The middle-aged man first observed the ring before taking it and asked, "Are you sure it's a foreign thing?"
"Sure, Master, she has a light complexion, a little purple, and a pair of pointed ears. ”
"All she has is this suspicious item?"
"Yes, this is the only thing she has with her, and the only thing she has with her is a sword and a dagger. ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he raised his head and met Seventeen's eyes, "Elf Warrior?"
He regarded Lanaya as an elf, and the elves had almost no warriors, which surprised him slightly.
"I'm not sure, but it doesn't matter, Master, you can start working on it. ”
(What are you doing researching??When did the Thieves' Guild start researching alien things?)
Through the sight observed by this ring, Ranaya had many doubts, seventeen called the middle-aged man "master", master is the honorific title of the most accomplished person in the thieves' guild, and usually rises to the status of the lord of the first meeting, is the only one. But the master in her impression is her mentor in the past, and he is not the same person as this middle-aged man at all.
Judging from the fact that Seventeen's physiognomy has not changed much, the time in the real world and the ability world should be advancing at the same speed, that is, two years have passed in the ability world, and two years have also passed in the real world.
The changes in a growing teenager are much greater than that of a middle-aged person, and it is impossible for her mentor to completely change his appearance in two years. This is the head of the Thieves' Guild, and her mentor will only stay in this one place, so there is only one possibility...... Her mentor is dead!
Ranaya still felt a little sad about this conclusion, even though it was a long time ago for her. But her mentor was already unrivaled at that time, why did he die? The death of the mentor would greatly weaken the power of the Thieves' Guild, and even though she was not in the guild now, she couldn't help but worry about the place where she had been.
There is also a doubt, which is what Lanaya wants to know the most, why the Thieves Guild wants to study alien things.
She sneered suddenly, looking like she was laughing at herself. To humans, she is an alien race, and even so, she is still an alien race that will never find her kind.
Before returning to the Paranormal Realm, she thought she must be alone.
Then, the middle-aged man conducted a series of magic experiments on the amethyst ring, and Lanaya panicked for a while, always thinking about what if they broke it.
"Unknown energy fluctuations have been discovered...... In the air, several glowing words gradually appeared.
Lanaya couldn't help but be stunned, what kind of magic was this, how could she not see it before.
And that wasn't all, as the words disappeared, something happened that almost scared her out of her heart attack.
Her personal information page was actually called up by the middle-aged man!
How did she do it? Ah, she remembered, on the amethyst ring, there was still her spiritual energy, she just wanted to make a mark, and it turned out that this mark was actually used by this middle-aged man.
It's over, and I'm ready to ask them for help finding Baush as a stranger, her name is exposed, what else can I do. She didn't even want to perceive the environment around the ring anymore, she thought she would definitely see the middle-aged man's surprised expression, and even fall to the ground.
People within the Thieves' Guild know Sixteen's real name, but they don't usually call him that. How would they feel if they knew that Sixteen, who had been missing for two years, had turned into an "elf" and returned?
"Alien script, no decipherment scheme found......" another line lit up.
"Can't decipher it?, in other words, it's not the ...... of this world," the middle-aged man grabbed the floating amethyst ring back in his hand and walked out of the research room.
Lanaya finally breathed a sigh of relief that the two worlds of different words saved her life, thank goodness.
"Seventeen!" the middle-aged man shouted to the young man who was waiting outside.
Seventeen ran over quickly, and the middle-aged man put the amethyst ring back in his hand and said, "You go and return this ring, and in addition, bring someone over." ”
Seventeen hesitated, "Master, are you going to ......?"
"I've finally met a ......," the middle-aged man smirked, "she's probably the 'hero' of the ruins." We can't be depressed anymore because of Master Asaya's death, recruit her, whatever conditions she makes, I want to revive this Thieves Guild!"
Lanaya almost fell to the ground while sitting. Mentor Assaya was her mentor, and her conjecture was correct. In addition, the last thing they wanted to happen, still happened, and although they didn't understand the meaning of the ruins and heroes they said, they definitely recognized themselves as a very powerful figure.
She didn't want to revive the Thieves' Guild, she was going to find an ancient book, and she had to find a way to escape!
"Yes, Master. Seventeen put away his ring, bowed slightly, and withdrew.
But her clothes weren't dried yet!
What to do, what to do, what to do!!
Kill Seventeen? No, she can't do that, the place of the Thieves' Guild, Lanaya has always regarded it as a second home, and she can't kill people no matter what, but she can't think of any other way.
In the end, Lanaya decided not to run away and try to talk to them first.
Doesn't that mean you can make any conditions? Then she could have asked them to send a few people to help her search for Baush's whereabouts, and as long as they agreed unconditionally, she would agree to return to the guild!
Lanaya quickly picked up her half-dried clothes and put them on her body, then picked up the guardian cloak and draped it over her body, and the sword of the sky and the glittering dagger were put on. Then she thought about it, tied her hair into a bun with the universal headband that didn't work in this world, and hid the bun in the collar, which looked like short hair if she didn't look closely.
The gray-blue scorpion tail braid has long been her trademark, and she must change this, otherwise it will be easy to be suspicious and thus recognized.
When she was almost done, there was a knock on the door.
It's a little too fast.
Lanaya opened the door, and outside the door was Seventeen, who had just snatched her amethyst ring, and this time, Seventeen looked a little restrained when he saw her. It's normal for thieves to be like this, how can anyone send it back after stealing something successfully.
"I'm sorry I stole your stuff and gave it back to you. With a simple opening remark, Seventeen reached out and handed the ring over.
Naturally, Lanaya took it.
"I need you to ...... with me"
"You need me to go somewhere with you, don't you?" said Lanaya and Seventeen in unison, and Seventeen stopped in surprise halfway through his words.
He even saw that Lanaya was still looking at him with a smile, and the lights in the corridor were so dim, so his face looked terrifying!
"You...... Can you read minds?" Seventeen asked, taking a step back and calming himself with a pat on his chest.
"No, it won't. Lanaya also walked out.
According to Seventeen, Lanaya is also too self-familiar, and she is also familiar with someone who has stolen her things, and Seventeen is very incomprehensible.
"Do you know where I'm going to take you?" asked Seventeen.
"The Thieves' Guild. ”
Seventeen was startled again.
"How do you know?"
"I heard it all. Lanaya gestured to him with the amethyst ring in her hand.
The boy was completely stunned.
In the quiet hallway, Seventeen swallowed hard.
