Thief was different from thief. Thief was a profession, while Thief was a job title. As a thief, as long as you had good skills--of course, the most important thing was your hands--you could be competent. However, as a thief, you had to master intelligence, tracking, anti-tracking, disguise, concealment, theft, eavesdropping, lip reading, treasure identification, lockpicking, traps, and many other skills. The goal was not money, but information and life.
(It's not easy being a thief…)
As one of the largest intelligence organizations on the continent, the Thieves 'Union could be said to be everywhere. Other than the gold coins used to verify one's identity (this was also divided into levels, from the lowest copper coins to silver, black iron, gold, and platinum), after each "crime", a black silk bandit mask pierced by a dagger would be left behind. On the other hand, the largest intelligence organization on the continent, the Tavern Alliance, would leave behind a wooden wine glass with remnants of ale.
"I still don't believe it. As a Shadow Thief, why can't you catch me every time?”Bruno said he didn't believe it, but from his expression, he already believed it.
"That's because I think you have a bright future and want to play with you.”" Old Cat " said," Just like what I said, I heard everything you said. This time, the black-armored soldiers appeared in Lattes, and our Thieves 'Union sent people to track them down. However, for some reason, these black-armored soldiers suddenly disappeared after leaving Lattes' range. I saw it with my own eyes, but we believe that they will target other targets, and we need your help this time.”
"Please wait, I have a question to ask you.”I reached out to stop Seth from agreeing and continued,"From what you said, the Thieves 'Union should know the purpose of these black-armored soldiers. In other words, they ambushed me and my mother, and attacked Seth's village. These are all connected. Can you tell us what these connections are?”
"Little girl, you are still very cautious, but I understand.”" Old Cat " nodded." Let's put it this way. In fact, there is only one connection between Great Swordsman Seth and Dawn Sister Onora. They participated in an adventure when they were young. The result of this adventure was that they accidentally stopped some cultists from summoning a certain evil existence in the Deep Dragon Mountains. Legend has it that they also obtained the necessary tools to summon this evil existence.”
"So, these black-armored soldiers belong to the cultists?”I continued to ask.
"We don't know about that." " Old Cat " shook its head." These black-armored soldiers belong to that cult. This is only one possibility. It's also possible that these soldiers belong to a certain country. You should know that the rulers of some countries are very arrogant, thinking that they can control existences that they can't control.”
"Then what do you want us to do?" Seth finally had a chance to speak.
"Based on your analysis just now, we also think that there might be a problem with Chief Lewis, but we can't come forward. We can only let you confirm this matter, and at the same time, it's best to find out where those black armored soldiers went.”" Old Cat " replied.
"This could be a trap." Bruno was still a little suspicious.
" But other than our own lives, there doesn't seem to be anything worth taking from Mr. Old Cat.”I said calmly.
Upon hearing my words," Old Cat " smiled and nodded. Then, like a phantom, he disappeared. At the same time, the gold coin in Bruno's hand disappeared.
"What should we do next? He couldn't just walk into the chief's house and grab him by the collar and ask him where the black-armored soldiers went, right?”Jerry asked after a period of silence.
"Lina, what do you think?" Seth turned to look at me.
"I'm only good at analysis. You'll have to make the decisions.”I replied. Seth nodded and I continued,""Right now, our ultimate goal is to find those black armored soldiers and take revenge. Before that, we have to find them first, and the only way to find them is to get information from the chief. From what Jerry said, there was nothing wrong with Chief Shi. From this, it could be inferred that Chief Shi was either a very shrewd performer, or Chief Shi was controlled by some reason. However, since Mr. Old Cat had come to look for us before, I was more inclined to believe the latter.”
"I understand what you mean." Seth said," If it's the former, then the Thieves 'Union will definitely find some clues. They will act directly and not look for us.”
"The same question. What should we do?”Bruno asked again.
" We can only bet," Seth said, narrowing his eyes." We can only bet that Chief Shi is still under control and that the black armored soldiers haven't found what they're looking for. Then, we can put on another show. After all, our biggest advantage now is our age…"
The sky was already filled with stars. Most of the people in Latas City had already finished their day's work and returned home, including Chief Shi Lewis. Speaking of Chief Lewis, he was definitely a good chief praised by the nearby residents. In his forties, he had been working hard for the city, so he had always been single. Well, maybe there were other reasons for his singleness, but it did not stop the residents who liked him from guessing.
"Master, the son of the Great Swordsman Seth has brought a nun to visit you. They have been waiting in the reception room for an hour.”The servant took the chief's coat and said respectfully. This made the chief hesitate for a moment before instructing the servant to meet the two guests alone.
"Seth, why are you here? Is your father alright?" Mr. Chang asked with a smile as they entered the reception room.
"My father…has passed away.”Seth replied softly.
"What happened?" Mr. Chief Shi's body stiffened. He walked up to Seth and asked anxiously.
" They're all dead... When Lina and I returned to the village, everyone was killed... No one survived..." Seth continued in a low voice.
"…I'm sorry." Shi sighed and said," Seth, I know you're very sad now, but can you tell me this in detail again? I think we can find something from this. Believe me, Seth, I will avenge them!”
Seth nodded and began to tell him everything he had experienced, including why he had come here the day before yesterday. Then, he had been inexplicably thrown into prison by a few black-armored soldiers. Then, he had met Lina's mother. With Jerry's help, the two of them had escaped from prison through the sewers. When they finally returned to the village, they discovered the tragedy in the village.
" Oh, right." Seemingly remembering something, Seth took out a necklace from his collar and placed it on the table."In the past, I didn't know why, but now I understand. When I was very young, my father gave me this necklace. He told me that if anything happened to him, I would send this necklace to the Church of Light. But I don't know anyone from the church, and Lina is just a walking nun, so I was wondering if you could…"
"Let's put this aside for now. Let's think about these thugs first.”The chief interrupted Seth and personally poured black tea for the two of them. He then said,"You guys drink some black tea first. Black tea has the effect of calming the nerves. Let me sort out what's going on first.”
Seeing the two of them take a sip of the black tea in their cups, the chief of the sh * t sat down opposite them. He propped his chin with his hands and muttered to himself," Let me think…Let me think, what's going on…I know those black-armored soldiers…But they have the Grand Duke's seal…If they were really sent by the Grand Duke…then why are they so brutal…"
"Plop!"
At this moment, the two young men and women who had just drunk black tea fell on the sofa at the same time and fainted. The chief was still talking to himself, but his words became,"It's obvious that they can't be sent by that weakling archduke. Besides, children are too easy to deceive.”
As he spoke, the chief officer straightened his back proudly. He looked at the two people who had fallen on the sofa and smiled proudly. Then, he picked up the necklace on the table. The blue gemstone on the necklace pendant emitted a dim light.
Looking at the necklace in his hand, Mr. Chang said proudly,"That idiot risked his life, but in the end, didn't I succeed? Tsk, this sh * t has no battle energy, no magic energy, so I can't tell if this thing is real or fake. But I think that idiot is almost at the Magus Tower, right? I can send this thing over for him to take a look.”
Mr. Shi raised his head again and looked at the two people on the sofa. He said with some regret,"As for the orphans of the two heroes, I, Lord Insect Envoy, am a good person. I am prepared to send the two of you to see your parents. Don't worry, it won't hurt much.”
"Yes, Mr. Insect Envoy is indeed a good person.”A lazy voice suddenly sounded.
"Who is it?" Mr. Shi-no, Mr. Bug Envoy-quickly put away the necklace, turned around, and looked in the direction of the sound. A sloppy old man in a gray sweater was sitting on the windowsill, looking at him with a faint smile.
"Old Cat?" The chief frowned. Why was he here?
"I seem to have inadvertently discovered some unknown secrets. Don't you think so, Lord Insect Envoy?”" Old Cat " jumped off the windowsill and swayed to an antique vase. He reached out to pick up the vase and looked at it. Then, he turned his head and looked at Mr. Bug Envoy with a half-smile.
"What do you want?" Mr. Bug Envoy quickly judged the situation and believed that Tomcat was here to extort him.
" You know, I'm a thief." Tomcat put the bottle back and shrugged." A thief, a thief who lives at the lowest level, only cares about his own stomach. As long as he's full, he won't meddle in other people's business.”
Hearing this, Mr. Insect Envoy smiled. He knew that this was just an accident, and this accident would soon pass.
