Chapter 148: Little Princess Thief
Because of Caroline's relationship, Wardhouse also knows a little bit about Sally's news.
"As for the way, she didn't say, and I don't know. Presumably even Wellington didn't know that his current wife was an extraordinary. ”
Zach naturally knew who the first she was in his friend's mouth, and for the word Caroline, Wardhouse could not say it, like a couple after a breakup.
"Then she's hiding it deep enough. Zach teased, not knowing who this "she" was talking about.
"The extraordinary ones in the 'gambler' path are particularly rare because they seem to be related to fate, and as far as I know, their extraordinary abilities in the early stage are also mostly related to good luck and bad luck. ”
Wardhouse looked at Zach angrily, and then said:
"Why don't you go to your church to check the relevant information, just think about running to me, why don't you just join our church. ”
Zach directly ignored the second half of the sentence, and just smiled bitterly:
"I'm just a Sequence 8 'Flame Walker' in Constant Light Blazing Sun, and I don't have that high permission to access information at will, so I'm here to ask you first to see if I can get useful information. ”
"Well, I'll help you keep an eye on the 'gambler' when I have time. ”
"There is one more thing, Mrs. Athena's body is missing in the hospital. Zach looked at the man in front of him with a serious face, "And based on some clues I checked, I suspect that Lady Athena may have something to do with the 'Gates of Hades'." ”
The clue he checked was the inexplicable movement of Mrs. Athena's large assets over the years, some of which indirectly pointed to the mysterious organization.
And many of the factories she invested in Federenburg during her lifetime have now become empty shells, which makes Zach, who has been tracking this line, a little suspicious.
After suddenly hearing the name of this organization, Wardhouse's eyes instantly dimmed.
I saw Zach staring at Wardhouse's expression tightly:
"You know, Caroline belongs to this group as well. Lady Athena was very close to Lady Sally during her lifetime, and they often attended afternoon tea together among the noblewomen. Caroline and Lady Sally are sisters again, so I doubt ......"
"Do you suspect that Sally is also from the 'Gates of Hades'?" Wardhouse's eyes sharpened as he asked.
"Yes. ”
Wardhouse was silent for a while, then raised his head to show a ruffian smile again, and said helplessly:
"Looks like it's time for me to pay a visit to this old friend, and I'll make an appointment with Sally in a few days. ”
Zach nodded, and then began to talk about some other things......
After dinner tonight, James went directly to the police station to be on duty, while the rest of the people began to work at home.
Chris was still sitting at his desk in his bedroom, sketching on drawings and calculating thermodynamic formulas, and he wanted to skillfully combine mathematics and magic as soon as possible, trying to create new magic moves.
In his bedroom, Potter began experimenting with new ritual magic using a pile of spiritual materials he had taken from Jeffrey's warehouse.
Since Bert's successful research on several ritual magics during this time, he feels that he has digested a lot of potions.
And when he awakened the ability to "listen" to his heart, he even felt that half of the potion in his body was digested in an instant.
It is estimated that with one or two more new ritual magics, he will be able to completely digest all the potions of the "listener".
Bonnie, on the other hand, was patient and began to mix various potions in the bedroom, reading a few books related to drugs that Chris had helped her pick up.
At the same time, thousands of miles away in the kingdom of Gulpott.
Under the light of the crimson moon, on the gray street where there were not many pedestrians, a little girl in a black gauze skirt was walking quickly on the hidden street.
I saw that she was wearing a gauze hat on her head, covering most of her face, and carrying a rather heavy package on her body, which jingled as she walked.
Behind her, a group of armored soldiers were urgently chasing.
The little girl, however, did not pay any attention to this, and when she reached the end of an alley, she was seen to put her fair right hand on the gray wall.
Then a strange scene appeared:
After a few seconds, a small glowing door appeared on the wall.
Then the little girl walked in unhurriedly, and disappeared in an instant.
And as soon as she passed through the light door, the door disappeared of its own accord, reverting to the gray wall again.
A minute later, the chasing soldiers hurried here, but the female thief could not be found.
After making several doors in succession, the little girl successfully avoided the pursuit of the soldiers.
About half an hour later, the little girl walked briskly to her destination tonight:
A bar full of fierce men, mercenaries and adventurers.
Running into the bar in a familiar car, several men inside greeted her, but no one took the initiative to stop her, so the little girl quickly walked to the innermost boss's room.
The room was quiet compared to the hustle and bustle outside, with only a man sitting on a soft sofa looking at the ledger or something.
The little girl casually threw the package behind her onto the table.
Bang!
After hearing the sound of metal objects colliding, the boss raised his head, and when he saw the veiled little girl, he smiled:
"Anka, you're here again, what are you bringing this time?"
Ankh pouted angrily and said:
"Hmph, old man, open it yourself. ”
In fact, the boss is not old, just a middle-aged man in his 40s, with an average appearance, unlike those casually dressed mercenaries outside, the bar owner wears a decent gentleman's attire.
The bar owner didn't care about the little girl's rude name, after all, the little thief girl was his cash cow.
When I opened the package, I saw that it was full of valuable utensils and gold jewelry.
Looking at the gold and silver utensils that were even more "rich" than last month, the boss was surprised:
"Anka, how many aristocratic families have you robbed? Forget it, the old rule, I will sell the stolen goods for you, and I will take fifty percent of the commission. ”
Then the bar owner began to take them out one by one, estimating the value of them.
This bar is a black bar in the Atlantic capital, and as the name suggests, all mercenaries and thieves can come here to sell items of unknown origin.
Being able to buy and sell a large amount of stolen goods, and still survive in Atlantus unscathed, it is obvious that behind this bar, there must be a big noble, even a royal figure.
Because you can settle the bill quickly and take full responsibility for the stolen goods, you will be charged a high commission of 50%.
After a quick estimate, the bar owner laughed:
"This shipment should be about 1,100 gold pounds, so let's count it as 600 gold pounds for your recent lack of money. ”
Immediately, the bar owner turned around and opened the lockbox in the corner, counted out a wad of banknotes and handed it to Anka, and said with a smile:
"I have to say, your level of stealing is getting higher and higher, if you come to visit me one day, just tell me directly. ”
Ankh ignored the man's jokes, took the banknotes, stuffed them into his pocket without counting them, waved his hand in a dashing manner, and replied:
"Let's go, old man, see you next month. ”
Ankh made a rule with the boss that he would only come once a month, and the date would depend on his mood, and the bar owner had no problem with this.
Feeling the bulging pocket Anka, he walked out of the bar in a happy mood.
The bar owner wouldn't have any other thoughts about her, he wanted to eat black or something, after all, as a businessman, he wouldn't do stupid things like killing chickens and eggs.
As for the rough men in the bar, he greeted them in advance and didn't let them harass the little girl covered in black veil.
Although he is not an extraordinary being, because of the forces behind him, he also knows some things about extraordinary people and the occult.
If you can easily steal these valuable items and not be caught by the police and soldiers afterwards, the other party must be an extraordinary person.
He had seen more than once those with strange abilities, and none of them were easy to mess with.
If the mercenaries and adventurers in the bar harassed the little girl, he was sure that the former would not end well.
After walking out of the bar, I saw the little girl's skillful crutches, and soon moved away from this chaotic area.
Then she quickly took off her black shirt on the road and threw it in the garbage can on the side of the road, inside the black gauze was a set of exquisitely made dresses, which did not match her identity as a thief at all.
Under the cover of the night, Ankka tore off the grooming on his face, restored his hairstyle to its previous appearance, and walked to a more secluded wall of the Atlantan Palace.
After creating a light door again and entering quickly, Ankka would not dare to use this extraordinary ability here again.
After all, there are many extraordinary people in the palace who are watching and ensuring the safety here, she doesn't dare to expose her identity as an extraordinary person here at will, and fortunately, most of the extraordinary people who guard the courtyard are not strong.
Then Anka walked calmly on a path in the palace, where he had lived since he was a child, and Anka, who was already familiar with all the routes, soon came to his dormitory.
When the servants passing by saw her, they all bowed their heads and saluted.
It turned out that she was the most favored little princess of the Gulport Kingdom, Andrea Castia.
Under the service of the personal maid, Andrea changed her dress and put on a clean and fragrant pink classical dress.
As for the 600 gold pounds she had just "earned", she was already hiding in one of her strongholds on the way back, and she would not be stupid enough to go back to the palace with the banknotes.
Although she has a lot of pocket money every month, those are clear figures, and they are not something that can be squandered at will.
