Chapter 390: The Woman Who Plays with Fire
When the term Veil of Shadows was heard, the room fell silent for a moment, as Lanaya was stunned.
The Veil of the Phantom is indeed a terrifying organization, it is a place where murder is commonplace, their principle is that there is no principle, no one knows who their next target for assassination is, but once this target is chosen, no one can escape death.
However, there is one thing in Lanaya's heart that she will never forget.
The Assassins of the Phantom Veil never reveal their names to others. But Lanaya experienced an exception.
The man appeared behind her at the right time when she was in a desperate situation.
The man didn't say a word, but for a long time he fought with several enemies, and led her out of the crisis.
Once to safety, the man stopped and bandaged the wounds of the scarred Lanaya.
Lanaya asked, why did you save me?
The man replied, "One of my meditations told me that you are related to me."
Ranaya said again, you are so strong, you could have killed them all.
The man said, "I won't kill someone I wasn't told to kill in meditation."
Lanaya laughed at her, what age are you still superstitious?
The man said lightly, no, it's [the rule].
Seeing that she was not fit to stay here for a long time, Lanaya wanted to take off her veil and thank her and leave early.
The man stopped her and said, "No need, it's your professional dignity."
The night was like silver, the waning moon was like a hook, and the man was gone, gradually fading out of sight, leaving only a whisper.
"Motriti Phantom Veil is my name. There will be a period later. ”
The picture in my memory is frozen.
"The Veil of Phantoms, too?" asked Lanaya.
Seventeen nodded, his expression very heavy: "Every time the Veil of the Phantom kills someone, it makes a special mark next to him. According to the chronology, more than thirty people in our guild were assassinated by the Veil of the Phantom, and when their bodies were found, we could all find markings made of blue flames nearby, without exception, which read, 'Veil of the Phantom, the contract is complete.' ’......”
Lanaya was shocked, but she had never known anything like this.
Then, Seventeen suddenly realized that something was wrong, "What do you mean by 'too'? How did you know about the Veil of the Phantom?"
"It's been a long time since I've been in this world!" Ranaya's tone and demeanor were very in place, and there was no flaw.
"Huh, when?"
"Seven or eight years ago. ”
Seventeen touched his chin thoughtfully and nodded: "No wonder you know Baush and speak the lingua franca of this world......"
Lanaya nodded vigorously in her heart, yes, that's right, the brainwashing was successful.
"But how come you don't have any money?" asked Seventeen suddenly.
However, Lanaya discovers that she didn't brainwash Seventeen successfully. She thought about it, it was still too unrealistic to say that someone had stolen it, and after the battle with Lena just now, Seventeen already knew that she had the strength to protect him.
"I failed my experiment a few days ago. Lanaya said.
"Ahh
Lanaya nodded a little frustrated, "I spent all my savings, and in the end I ruined the materials. You also saw what I was like when you followed me that day. ”
Seventeen's brow furrowed slightly, and he began to feel a little sympathetic to Lanaya.
Well, if you believe that, then there's no problem. Lanaya was still worried about checking the guild's records, but luckily she went out and got a hundred gold coins this time, otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to enter the door of the archives.
In the past, when she received an assassination mission, in order to improve the success rate of completing the mission, she would first check all the relevant information.
This time she was just looking for someone, but she always had a hunch that it was more difficult to find someone than to assassinate anyone before.
And Lanaya only had this conjecture in her mind, she thought about things on the bright side, she felt that after the Violet Plateau incident two years ago, Bausch must have gone back and brought out that ancient book.
If it falls into the hands of others, it will really be like looking for a needle in the sea. The world is so big, how difficult it is to find a person or a book.
The inside of the Thieves' Guild is lit day and night, the time outside is like a shuttle, and the sky turns from black to white while Ranaya rummages and records, and the next day has already fallen.
After staying up all night, Lanaya only caught a trace of clues, the strength of one person is still not enough, it seems that she really has to wait for news from other local alliances.
The most information Ranaya has seen about Baush from the information is that he seems to have provoked someone, and his current state is on the run, and this state has lasted for two years.
Where the Confederates have observed, there is a clear improbability of Bausch's whereabouts.
According to the source, on October 10 last year, Baush was located in the Mountains of Lamentation, and on October 12 last year, near the Oblivion Academy.
Even if Bausch could fly, it would be impossible to cross from the northernmost part of the continent to the southernmost part of the continent in two days!
These are only subjective speculations of the author, and the possibility of omissions and inaccuracies in the records cannot be ruled out.
Lanaya remembered what the Master had said—"It's like mastering teleportation magic." ”
It seems that what the master said is likely to be true, otherwise there would be no other explanation.
However, Lanaya tried all she could, and she didn't know how Baush managed to do it, even if he had the ancient book of space magic in his hand, he couldn't open it.
This has nothing to do with whether Ranaya is in this world or not, the seal of the ancient book is eternal, and only she can open it.
Lanaya had to convince herself of one thing, whether by mistake or on purpose, Baush must have researched teleportation magic.
He was on the passive side, and he didn't know how long it would take for the allies to find Bausch's whereabouts and tell Baush that someone was looking for him.
It's a pity that she can't say her name, or that she is for the ancient book. She didn't want these people in the Thieves' Guild to know her true identity, and she didn't want to get involved with them.
The previous day's battle, plus a night of researching information, was a little tired, and Lanaya planned to leave here and go to the dormitory to rest.
As soon as she stepped out of the archives door, Lanaya saw Seventeen hurrying through the entrance.
Lanaya looked a little anxious at Seventeen, so she asked, "What's the matter?"
"Something is wrong!Anyway, don't go out for a few days, we'll figure it out......"
"About me?"
Seventeen nodded and said, "The news just came, Zero Six told me that the town is now plastered with your portraits. It was the woman who played with fire yesterday who wanted to find you, and I felt that she had no ill will towards you by looking at the content of the portrait, but this way was too ......"
"She's funny, isn't she?" said Lanaya, laughing and crying. Lena wanted to come to her, nothing more than urging her to make two flashing daggers in the fastest time and deliver them to Lena's hands.
Lena's purpose is very simple, but in terms of thinking about things, there are still too many things missing, and she can't be blamed for this, and she doesn't know that Lanaya is now in the Thieves' Guild, and she can't just come out if she wants to.
This is good, Lena has invisibly made a publicity for her, and the residents of the whole town know that there is an alien race in the town, and maybe it will be noticed by more bad people.
"Are you going to tear those things off now?"
"Yes, let's go as fast as we can, and when we're done, don't go out, and if there's anything between you, I'll ask an intermediary to pass it on your behalf." ”
Lanaya was a little embarrassed, the middleman was easy to find, but was it really trustworthy? It was a transaction of more than 4,000 gold coins, and what was more precious than gold coins was the result of Lanaya's production, and she couldn't imagine what would happen if those two flashing daggers fell into the hands of the enemy!
But she could only agree for now, she beckoned to Seventeen, and said, "Come here." ”
Seventeen was stunned, looked at the distance between him and Lanaya, still came over, and asked, "What for?"
"Be careful when you go out, especially you, and don't reveal what you've seen Lena. If you're found this time, you'll ......," Lanaya drew a small psionic trap circle on the back of Seventeen's hand, "and run in the direction of HQ and I'll come out to meet you." ”
The circular circle that glowed purple-red disappeared on the back of Seventeen's hand in a few moments.
However, Seventeen is more concerned about something on another level, if it is not necessary for the task, he will never touch a woman's hand, let alone be taken by other women to take the initiative to hold the hand.
And the woman was telling herself something to be careful.
Seventeen quickly came back to his senses, pointed to the back of his hand and asked, "What did you do?"
"Just a marker, so I can find you. Don't get it off. ”
Seventeen sighed slightly, Lanaya's superpowers. It's not a small skill at all on Lanaya's side, but in his mind, it's already the same level as the superpower, if he can learn such a superb skill, just ask who will lose it!
However, Seventeen remembered what Ranaya had just said, and hurriedly said, "No, you can't go out!"
"I said I'm going out if you're in danger, do you think you can escape a magician?" Ranaya said, "I already got to know Lena yesterday, she's also a relic contractor, as long as you don't mess with her too much, and reveal that we're allies, you just worried about me yesterday, she shouldn't do anything to you." ”
"What? The woman who played with fire was also a relic contractor?"
