The benefits of the union were pretty good. They even provided food and accommodation, and their monthly salary was 4 silver coins. This was considered a relatively high salary. On Earth, it was the standard of white-collar workers. Although he was busy in the afternoon, he didn't know the names of the various wines. Fortunately, Alicia explained them in detail, so he didn't make any mistakes. However, he also met a lot of strange people and learned a lot from them. From the occasional chat with Alicia, he learned that Alicia wasn't a local either. She had just arrived in Croc City and didn't have her own house yet. She was temporarily staying in a small room provided by the union.
"The Union's house is small and dark. When it rains, the walls will still leak, making it very uncomfortable to live in.”Alicia complained.
Zhang Hao thought for a moment and suggested," I have two good empty rooms at home. Come to my house when you have time. If you like it, you can move in."”As soon as she finished speaking, Alicia slapped Zhang Hao's back with her small hand. The girl blushed and said,"Idiot, I'm not your fiancée. How can I stay in your house?”
"Hmm, fiancée?" Zhang Hao looked at Alicia in confusion.
"Unmarried girls are not allowed to live in other men's homes. If they have a marriage agreement with that boy, it's another matter.”Alicia whispered, still blushing.
Zhang Hao hurriedly apologized to Alicia.""I'm sorry, I don't know this custom.”He smiled bitterly in his heart, If I knew this world was so feudal, I wouldn't have said such nonsense.'
"Idiot!" The girl's face puffed up in anger. She kicked Zhang Hao's calf hard and left angrily. Zhang Hao tried to apologize to Alicia later, but the girl refused to let him go. She ignored Zhang Hao for the entire day.
At night, which was around 9 o'clock on Earth, the sommelier finished his work. He returned home, washed up, picked up a book, and half-lay on the bed to read. This book was called Records of the Heroes of the Continent. It recorded the life stories of several heroes who led humans to fight against the demons for thousands of years. The book was found in the middle boy's room. Zhang Hao was really bored and it was not midnight yet for cultivation, so he read to pass the time.
What surprised Zhang Hao was that the demon race in the book had all kinds of strange changes. Only the demon king had black hair and eyes. This made Zhang Hao feel very helpless. A human with black hair and eyes was actually called the demon king by the people of this continent. Fortunately, when he came to this world, his hair and eyes inexplicably changed color. Otherwise, he would have become a street rat and be hated by everyone.
Time passed in the blink of an eye. Zhang Hao felt that the Yin Qi at night was getting heavier and heavier. It was almost midnight. He put down his book and was about to cross his legs to cultivate when he heard the sound of light footsteps coming from the roof. The sound of clothes fluttering quickly disappeared. Zhang Hao groaned,"No way. It's happening again tonight." Although he said that, he still had an excited smile on his face. He flipped over and climbed onto the roof, chasing after the black-robed man in front of him.
Zhang Hao was sure that the man in black was tall and had broad shoulders. He was definitely a man. Moreover, his strength was far superior to Alice's. His footwork was light and his speed was extremely fast. Zhang Hao was cautious and decided to pull away from the man in black. As long as he could see him, he would not be discovered by the other party. He wondered if it was the thief from last night.
The man in black was getting faster and faster. Zhang Hao followed closely behind. He felt that the scenery was very familiar. He suddenly realized that this was Fang Ji who had followed Alice to the fat noble's mansion last night. The man in black suddenly stopped on the roof. Zhang Hao hurriedly jumped off the roof and hid under the eaves to stare at the man in black from afar. He guessed in his heart, could it be that he had discovered me?
A moment later, two black shadows suddenly appeared from the south and jumped onto the roof where the first black-clothed man was. The three men in black were whispering on the roof. Their voices were very low, and Zhang Hao could only hear a few vague words. Crystal, be careful, women are very powerful, surprise attack, etc. The three of them seemed to have come up with a plan. The first black-clothed man waved his hand and made a gesture of action. The two who arrived later disappeared into the night like lightning. The remaining black-clothed man kept gesturing in front of his chest and muttering.
Seeing the figure of the man in black gradually fade and finally completely disappear, Zhang Hao couldn't help but exclaim,""Invisible?" Zhang Hao pinched his chin and thought for a while. He decided to secretly go to the fat noble's mansion to take a look. The black-clothed man could turn invisible, so he was most likely the thief from last night. In addition to the few words he heard, he guessed that they were most likely going to collectively steal the blue crystal.
Zhang Hao carefully avoided the place where the man in black had disappeared, and based on his memory, he silently and rapidly advanced toward Fatty's mansion. From afar, he saw a man in black squatting outside the roof. Zhang Hao was silently hiding in the grove outside the wall, leaning against a big tree and looking for another man in black.
He looked around carefully for a moment, but he did not find another man in black, let alone the invisible thief. The man in black squatted on the roof without moving. Zhang Hao also waited quietly behind the tree. Not long after, Zhang Hao realized that a question had popped up. Fatty was a noble, and this mansion was also very big, but there were no servants or guards. It was dark like a ghost city, and he felt that it was strange. According to Zhang Hao's experience on Earth, people with some power would always have some private armed forces.
At this moment, a dazzling red light flashed out of the window, almost illuminating half the sky. Then, a man's cry came out. The red light dimmed, and the man in black kicked a small hole in the roof and jumped down. In an instant, the sound of a man and a woman chanting curses and the sound of weapons breaking through the air could be heard. Although Zhang Hao was itching to go and see how the battle was going, he calmed down when he thought that there was still an invisible person who had not been discovered. He focused his attention and monitored the nearby movements.
After a while, the commotion in the room stopped and a male voice sounded."Haha, tonight's harvest is not bad. We caught two rats at once.”Zhang Hao remembered that it was the fat noble's voice. Zhang Hao frowned. His companion had been captured, so why hadn't the invisible man appeared yet?
The room was lit up by candlelight. Zhang Hao heard a gentle female voice."I can have a good night's sleep tonight. With a Bandit who has pleaded guilty, I can save 10 silver coins every month. Xiaoxiao, I'll go first.”Zhang Hao thought to himself, So that was how it was. He hurriedly jumped onto the roof and took off the tiles to look down.
Sure enough, the invisible thief was already in the room. He was now holding a dagger against the noblewoman's back and laughed proudly in a hoarse voice."You have finally fallen into my trap, Your Excellency Demon Wolf.”
"I didn't expect you to know how to avoid magic perception after only a day." Fatty smiled bitterly as he held the crystal ball.”
"Release my companion and throw the crystal ball over.”The black-clothed bandit shouted.
Fatty looked at the two Bandits trapped by the red transparent barrier and smiled."First, let me understand how you managed to evade the magic perception so that I can admit defeat.”
The man in black waved his left hand. Fatty's eyes lit up and he laughed."So it's the Ring of Serenity. It seems that you stole the Ring of Serenity from the palace a year ago. You're a famous thief, a ghost in the night.”
"Alright, let her go and the crystal ball.”The black-clothed Thief said.
"Do you think you'll win for sure?" The fat man smiled calmly. The black-robed bandit was stunned. A black-robed man who was trapped beside him suddenly shouted,"Big brother, that woman is chanting a spell." Before the black-clothed bandit could react, a huge ice spike appeared out of thin air and wrapped around the noblewoman. "Ice Seal!" The Bandit shouted in horror and was about to escape with his toes, but Fatty had already squatted down and smashed the crystal ball on the ground. A pillar of earth as thick as an arm suddenly emerged from under the Bandit's body and ruthlessly pushed between the Bandit's legs.
A heart-wrenching scream came from the room. Zhang Hao gasped on the roof and cursed Fatty for being despicable. He actually attacked the man's private part. Why did the man make things difficult for the man?
The ice cone turned into a white light and disappeared into the air. The lady sat on the ground softly. Fatty placed the crystal ball on the table beside him and hurriedly ran over. He held the lady's hand and asked gently,"Are you alright, Irene?"
The woman's pale face revealed a gentle smile as she shook her head. Fatty sighed and helped the woman to sit on a chair at the side. He smiled and said,"I heard that the Ring of Tranquility is very beautiful. I'll take it off and give it to you later. I've been married for so many years, but I've never bought jewelry for you.”
The two of them turned their heads and looked at the Bandit who was rolling around on the ground with both hands hugging his gear and moaning non-stop. They were both stunned. The Ring of Tranquility was on the Bandit's left middle finger, and his left hand was on Fatty's head. He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. The woman smiled faintly and leaned her head on Fatty's shoulder."I don't like jewelry. I'm satisfied that you have this kind of heart.”
Just as the two of them were deep in love, the roof that had just been repaired suddenly broke open, and broken tiles fell like a shower. Fatty subconsciously opened a red magic barrier and wrapped the two of them in it. He immediately reacted and cried out in his heart. Just as he was about to remove the barrier and get the crystal ball, three broken tiles shot at the three candles on the silver candlestick like arrows, and the room suddenly darkened.
Fatty had just removed the barrier when a blurry black shadow landed in front of the table. It picked up the crystal ball and jumped out of the window. It was so fast that Fatty smacked his tongue. By the time Fatty rushed to the window, the black shadow had already disappeared.
Fatty flicked his finger, and the candle lit up again. Looking at the big hole in the roof, Fatty and the lady looked at each other. The three Thieves laughed happily together. The Thief in black moaned and laughed on the ground."Hahaha, this is great. The Twin Wolves have finally suffered a loss in the hands of the Thief.”The laughter was mixed with moans, but it could not suppress the ecstasy in the laughter.
