[Welcome back, Chaotic Neutral Tan Mo, is about to enter the realm of innocence, I wish you a good night]
......
Black Tower City, Room 11, Liuli Pavilion
"The loading speed this time is half a second faster than before..."
Mo Tan appeared in the lounge in the room with a smile, smiled and murmured in a low voice, and then Then he walked slowly to the bookshelf not far away, took out a few pieces of paper and a quill, leaned on the low table and quickly wrote something on it...
Two minutes later
"Cole." Mo Tan put down his quill and snapped his fingers, shouting outside the lounge: "Come in."
I noticed that Mo Tan didn't dare to come in and disturb me after he went online. Cole quickly pushed the door open and walked in. His face, which was a little stiff because he had been training hard to 'pretend', twitched: "Sir, did you call me?"
Mo Tan raised his eyebrows: "Are you deaf?"
Cole was stunned for a moment and shook his head in confusion.
"If you are not deaf, don't ask such nonsense. Time is precious, young man." Mo Tan stretched out, and a slender dagger appeared in his hand at some point, and walked to Cole: "Before Do you remember everything I told you?"
The latter nodded vigorously: "I will do it well."
"Very good." Patted him on the shoulder and chuckled: "Then, I wish you good luck..."
...
Half an hour later
A staggering figure staggered into the Thieves Guild.
Then he ran into a tall orc wearing night clothes...
Although it was already midnight, there were all kinds of activities for a place like the Thieves Guild. 'It's not unusual to meet a few people at the door during peak hours.
No one knows what their peers are doing, and no one is interested in this kind of thing. Every night is a short-term gift from the dark goddess Delia. Anyone who comes in and out here during this time does not want to go. Waste it.
But Scarface obviously doesn’t mind wasting a little time, firstly because he doesn’t have anything important at hand right now, and secondly because...
He knows the young man in front of him who is covered in injuries. .
"Mr. Cordoba?" The orc waved his arms exaggeratedly and laughed: "What's wrong with you? You seem to be in need of help. Do you need me to accompany you to the church?" ?”
Obviously, he was not very interested in the middle-level thief who had met him once before, but Having said that, Scarface still reluctantly helped this cool guy named Cordoba. This orc with a somewhat hot temper was not so cold-blooded after all. Of course, it might also be because of the golden tooth tower. Mi gave him a warning yesterday. In short, he did not leave this young man here who seemed to be in extremely dire circumstances.
Exactly how unoptimistic it is...
There are probably twenty or thirty wounds all over the body, and the whole person is like a moving fountain of blood. To be honest, if it were Scarface himself, , he really had no confidence that he could survive such a degree of injury.
This scale of bleeding alone is enough!
"Stop talking nonsense." Cole (after all, we all know he is Cole) shook his head with difficulty, his pale face covered in cold sweat due to excessive blood loss, and he stared at Scarface's face. That big scarred face: "Take me to see Gold Teeth, now!"
< br>The latter took a look at the shocking large wounds on Cole's body, and said with a dry smile: "I would like to remind you that the first aid methods here are not very rich. If you don't treat it immediately with your virtue, there is a great possibility. It will be over.”
Clang!
A sharp short blade popped out from Cole's cuff. He glanced at Scarface coldly and said in a deep voice: "Take me to see Gold Teeth immediately! I know what the guild wants. Where is it..."
"Hey! Hey! Are you okay, kid?"
Five minutes later
Thieves Guild, Shadow Hall, Lounge
Tatami glanced at Cole who was unconscious on the bed with a gloomy look, then glanced coldly at Scarface next to him, and said in a cold voice: " Are you sure this matter has nothing to do with you?”
“Sister Jin!” Scarface shrugged helplessly: “How many times have I told you, I just happened to meet you at the guild gate. It’s just this kid, not to mention whether I can beat him as a mid-level thief. Look at those wounds..."
Tatami shrugged: "I have seen it, there are two in total. Seventeen wounds, all of which avoided vital points. They were all wounds from the sharp blade of the same short weapon. A total of twenty-seven attacks, and it also left this little guy with no chance to fight back. A guy of your level is indeed I can’t do it.”
“You still know that I can’t do it!” Scarface smiled bitterly: “Then why do you ask so many times?”
Tatami snorted: "Because you have never been a fuel-efficient guy, okay, get out of here."
Scarface smiled, and quickly turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute." However, Tatami stopped him again and said in a deep voice: "I almost forgot, please call Vice President Muse, I will find him..."
"No need." A low voice sounded from the corner, A slender figure slowly walked out of the darkness: "I'm already here."
Scarface immediately stayed in place as if he was frightened, while Tatami immediately leaned over Saluted: "Lord Muse."
"Yes." The looming figure in the darkness nodded, then glanced at Scarface gently, and said softly: "You go out first."
The latter finally reacted until then , bowed quickly and left the lounge without looking back.
Muse, whose whole body was shrouded in dark leather armor, walked up to Cole who was unconscious. The eyes behind the mask flickered slightly, then turned to the female dwarf beside him and chuckled: "You just misunderstood a very important point, Tatami."
"I'm very sorry!" Jin Ya didn't say anything, and directly apologized: "Excuse me, what was your oversight?"< br>
Muse stretched out a finger and gently scratched a wound on Cole's side, and whispered: "There are twenty-seven wounds in total, which is okay, but the person who attacked this young man But he made fifty-four attacks, using ordinary daggers that had not been enchanted or quenched. The size and depth of the wounds caused in the first round of attacks were exactly the same, while in the second round, they were further damaged at the previous position. The ground exerted secondary damage, and depending on the location, it instantly created what you see..."
Tatami broke into a cold sweat immediately.
"It is difficult to cause death, but it is enough to make people miserable." Muse gently stroked the short blade on his waist and whispered: "And to be able to cause this kind of injury, the interval between the opponent's two rounds of attacks must be certain. Extremely short, as short as this little guy’s roots I can’t react to the extent, haha... Not only is he a strong man, but he is also a strong man who is good at torturing or torturing his enemies..." Tatami carefully glanced at the vice president in front of him with unfathomable strength. He whispered: "Scarface told me before Tell me, this young man said before he fell into coma that he had found clues to that thing."
"It's obvious." Muse waved his hand: "Go and inform the blood chain. , Acupuncture, Ye Yin, Flower Snake and others Get ready for the four of them and ask them to wait for me in the lobby."
After hearing these names, Tatami was in a daze for a long time before he said hesitantly: "Take those four adults... Call them all?”
"Yes, they are all in the guild now." Muse looked back at her, a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows filled with coldness: "Since the other party spared this young man's life, it was obviously intentional. It's directed at us, although I personally prefer to use money to solve the problem, but if the other party has bad intentions or the lion opens his mouth..."
He shook his head and did not continue.
Tatami didn't ask any more questions, bowed and left quickly.
Five minutes later
Cole opened his eyes in a hazy green light, and then found that a stranger he had never seen before was standing in front of him.
"Who are you? How did my injury heal?" He looked at the man warily, and slowly put his right hand behind his back, but it turned out to be empty.
The latter shrugged, pointed to the table piled with a full set of weapons and equipment, and smiled: "All your things are here, and they have not been touched at all, so please don't worry."
Cole stood up silently, clenched his fists in surprise, and found that all the large wounds on his body had disappeared, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Muse, and I am the vice-president of the Thieves Guild in Black Tower City." Muse said briskly, and then spread out his right hand, with a slightly dull color on it. Green fruit: "This is Bigui fruit, which can effectively alleviate any injuries when combined with certain natural spells. It is a specialty of the forest elf territory and has been sold for 3,000 gold coins each on the black market."
Cole narrowed his eyes slightly and said solemnly: "I didn't ask you to save me."
"Of course, I was just answering your question about how the injury healed. I had no other meaning." Muse casually put the fruit into his pocket and said with a smile, "Of course, if young Cordoba Sir, if you can understand my good intentions, it would be best if you could give me a favor from the Black Tower City Thieves Guild."
Cole walked to the table in silence and slowly put on his equipment. Then he turned back to Muse and said, "Very good, I've written it down."
Muse nodded.
"Want to know where your things are?" Cole put a dagger with numerous gaps in its sheath and asked Muse in a low voice: "You should be in charge."< br>
The latter chuckled: "Of course, but if it is used to repay a favor, the weight of this news is really heavy."
"Then let's add the quota for the ruins exploration team." Cole was not polite at all and directly forced the favor to be included in the originally agreed upon reward.
However, Muse didn't mind at all, and nodded happily: "No problem."
"I think I need to remind you in advance." Cole pulled out a question from the corner of his mouth. It should be a 'laughing' arc, and said coldly: "That guy is not a character who can be taken care of casually. He is very strong, very strong..."
Muse shrugged, and suddenly in his hand A pale golden note appeared: "This is a certificate from the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce. There are two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins in it. I think this should be a satisfactory reward, of course..."
He raised his other hand, and a silver-white short blade was spinning lightly on it.
"We are not philanthropists." Muse said softly: "Now, can you tell me the information you know? Mr. Cordoba..."
One hour later< br>
Black Tower City, Liuli Pavilion
Muse, Cole, and four people dressed differently appeared outside Room 11.
"I should have said that it would be better to sneak here..." A tall lizard man with a blood-red iron chain on his hand raised his forehead and sighed: "What have you done, Flower Snake?" .”
Next to her, a tree elf woman with a coquettish appearance, coquettish clothes, coquettish movements, and equally coquettish tone of voice pursed her lips and smiled: "This is my sneaking method, aren't you happy?"
"For example, tell all the witnesses Will they all be poisoned?" A mean-looking goblin curled his lips and snorted: "Yes. It will cause us to be put on the blacklist and kill you!"
Mimi, the charming fourth-level flower snake, glanced at him and smiled charmingly: "Yes, yes, you are like this! A small needle can only 'prick' me to death, I'm so scared~"
"Are you looking for death?" Acupuncture's expression suddenly turned cold.
Then...
"You two~"
The muse who was standing at the front appeared behind the two of them at some point. Two dark daggers were gently placed on their shoulders, and he sighed leisurely. Tone: "If you want to die, it's actually not difficult at all..."
Blood spattered, and a not-too-deep blood hole appeared on the sides of their necks at the same time.
The figure of Muse returned to its previous position at some point, and the pair of daggers were well inserted into his waist.
The previous series of actions made no sound at all, not even the sound of blood splashing.
"I knew..." A sigh came through the air, it was a nice female voice.
"In short, no one is allowed to do anything before I give the order." Muse said softly, and then smiled at Cole beside him: "Funny, this is the right place, right?"
< br>Cole shrugged: "I'm not sure "Definitely, but nine times out of ten it should be here."
"Let me give it a try, please step back a little." Muse whispered to Cole and stepped forward to knock lightly. Knocked on the door, and then...
The door opened.
[No lock? 】
The powerful vice-president of the Thieves Guild narrowed his eyes slightly and took a half step back warily.
Immediately afterwards I heard a burst of joking laughter coming from not far away.
"I have heard about your names for a long time, and today I saw you..."
The human man wearing a black robe and a stern face slowly turned around and whispered softly with a half-smile... …
"It turned out to be just a third-rate thief."
