Chapter 596: Mansion Battle (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription)
"Also, after you have arranged this, go to the tavern in Ascatra and find a few sophisticated "cave rats", or we may enter the catacombs without anyone to lead the way. You know a little bit about these things, can you handle them? ”
It wasn't the people who stayed in the city, but the guys in the catacombs, and Soram had to find them, preferably before they got the Book of Casa.
"Don't worry, this kind of thing is similar on the mainland, I can touch the door by catching a few old gangsters on the street, and I will ensure that it will not delay your business."
Wahid is also a gangster, for this kind of dark world things, it can't be said that the door is clear, but he also knows it, but each place has its own characteristics, but the difference is not too big, as long as you find a few gangsters and ask, it will be clear immediately.
*********
Time passed quickly, and the next night, Trisim and Durham brought back all the information they could get their hands on.
"That group of people is very careful, and they are also very low-key, they have been hiding in the mansion and rarely come out, we have been squatting for a day, and we only saw four people, and they have gone through it with reconnaissance spells, they are a level 16 mage, a level 15 female thief, a level 15 priest, and a level 17 sword master, and the remaining two people have not appeared."
Durham told Soram about the information they had gathered, and Solam was much more generous than the Shadow Thief, and he gave them a few Level 7 "Stealth Scouting" scrolls, a spell that could detect enemy information in a very stealthy way.
The reason why the shadow thief doesn't use this kind of scroll is still a matter of cost, a seventh-level scroll is not cheap, not to mention the special spell of "Hidden Detection", the price is even more expensive, and the value of one is at least more than 80,000.
Although the shadow thief has a big business, he can't squander it at will, anyway, he can get information by employing people, and sometimes people don't have 80,000 gold coins worth it.
"The remaining two people, I guess are the Minotaurs and Orcs that the Shadow Thief said. I was going to go into the mansion to find out if I could get to the bottom of it, but when I got closer to the mansion, I found that they were more careful than we thought, the mansion was full of spell traps, and it would take me a lot of effort to get close to it, and I was afraid that they would find out, so I didn't go. ”
Durham continued.
"Well, that's not bad, I got the information of four people, and the strength of the other two should be about the same. After all, they are a group, and they are of different races, so it should be impossible to be higher than others. ”
This world doesn't talk about racial equality, as the largest force in the continent, human beings should not be subordinates of two alien races, if it is an elf, it is reluctant, but a minotaur and an orc?
Those four guys are high-level professionals, and they shouldn't be able to do this kind of thing that seems humiliating to others.
"Then should we continue to observe, or ......" Trisim asked, he thought that they should continue to observe, not only the remaining two people, but also the configuration in the mansion carefully, so that they can act with some certainty.
"No need! The group was so careful, the devil knows if they would find out we're staring at them? When they are scared away, where shall we go to find them? Besides, the most important thing is the Book of Casa, if we wait any longer and let those guys get the Book of Casa, aren't we waiting in vain? ”
Time was running out now, and Soram was able to wait a day, also because he was confident in the complexity of the tomb below, and in a day or two, they shouldn't be able to find the book.
But if he waits any longer, Soram is not very confident, treasure hunting is difficult to talk about, if you are lucky, if you are not lucky, that group of people will get the Book of Casa quickly, if you are unlucky, this group of people may have already knelt down.
"What about us?"
"We'll do it in the middle of the night, I've already told the shadow thief, there are no patrols in that area today, and the major temples won't interfere, as long as we don't make it known to everyone, no one will care about us."
"Isn't it too rushed?" Trism still hopes to be able to slow down a little longer, Soram is obviously ready to take matters into his own hands, and as his bodyguard, Trism must consider Soram's safety.
"Not in a hurry? I'm still too slow. By the way, why hasn't Vahid come back yet? Speaking of which, Soram realized that Wahid hadn't shown up for a day today.
"Oh, he's probably drinking and farting with some local snakes right now, you know, in a place where you don't know each other, if you want to get some news, you have to have a good relationship with those guys." Trismu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
Speaking of which, Wahid's job is the easiest, and he hardly has to do anything, just drink and fart. However, Trismu is not very envious, after all, a professional is a professional, and only an old man like Wahid can accurately find that kind of well-informed local snake.
"Oh, forget it, don't worry about him, you go down and prepare, and we'll start acting in the middle of the night!"
"Yes!"
***********
In the middle of the night, Soram took the Trisim brothers, Durham, McCarthy, Violet, and Loriss to 107 Third Street in the Temple District, a white luxury building.
"These people are so careful! He even placed a magic seal on the gate. ”
Feeling the complex magic seal on the door, Soram will be a little tricky for a while, the seal on it is very complicated, the magic encrypted on it cannot be lifted in a short time, only specific secret words and spell gestures can open this door, if you break in, it will activate the trap above.
In this way, not only will Soram be in danger, but they will also startle the snake, just when Soram was a little hesitant to break the level directly and violently, Viorette stood up, only to see her put her hands on the door and check the entire seal.
Then he quickly used a spell breaking spell to invalidate all spell seals, and at the same time used a "dismantling spell" to open the seal's protection of the door lock. Violet then nodded to Solam.
This level of sealing is a bit complicated for Solam, but for Viorret, who is a Taling, it is just like that, and her calculation speed is much faster than Solam's flesh and blood life.
"Alright, let's meet those bastards now!" Seeing that the spell seal on the gate had been lifted, Soram took the lead and pushed the gate open.
As soon as they entered the hall, the door behind them suddenly slammed shut. I saw a portal appear out of thin air at the top of the stairs, and an old mage who looked to be in his sixties appeared in place. The mage glanced at Henry and the group with sharp eyes, then sighed and said.
"Look at these damn intruders, Kate. I should have checked all the seals and traps on the door, they must have weakened to let these indiscriminate creatures run in. ”
At this time, there was a burst of laughter behind him: "Hehehe! That seems to be it, Theon. I suggest you use the 'Ice Storm' as a trap next time to make the intruders die before they even enter the door. It doesn't take me to run out in the middle of the night to clean up these bed bugs, you know that getting enough sleep is very important for women! ”
With the voice, a woman wrapped in a cloak suddenly appeared in place, and she looked at Solam's group with a very playful look, especially when she saw Solam, her eyes were as if they were being lit with fire, and they were extremely hot.
She drew her dagger and licked it with her tongue, then her big watery eyes surveyed Solam's strong body, as if trying to strip him naked and eat him in one bite.
"Nope! No! No! I think death finger would be better. Know that those bastard mages are constantly monitoring the city's magic, and if it's too loud, they'll get their attention. As he spoke, there was a smug look on the mage's face.
Kate toyed with the dagger in her hand and gestured to the others standing in Solam. "You'd better think about what to do with these little rats, if the boss wakes up and we haven't dealt with the intruders, we'll be scolded again. By the way, can that white-haired man stay and give it to me? ”
"Hey, hey, these are intruders, the boss won't like them, you have to keep them alive, the boss will be unhappy!" The mage was clearly aware of the woman's fetishes, and could not walk at the sight of a strong man.
"Hahaha, don't worry, I just use it at night, and in the morning, I'll dispose of him. It's a pity, if it weren't for the boss's orders, let's keep a low profile, maybe I could have left that big black guy behind. ”
Speaking of this, the mage swept Loris and Viorette with a malicious look. Indeed, the two women looked good, and would have made a great deal of money if they had been sold as slaves. Especially the silver-haired woman was to my taste. ”
Seeing the old mage's expression, the woman clapped her hands and said, "Then it's okay, the man belongs to me, the woman belongs to you, and when the time comes, do it cleanly, the boss shouldn't say anything!" What do you think? None of us suffer. ”
"As you wish!" After saying that, the mage named Theon bowed slightly to the woman named Kate without anyone else, and then immediately crushed the rune stone in his hand. Then, within a few seconds, he blessed himself with seven or eight protective magics.
After that, several more portals appeared in the room, followed by monsters coming out of it.
Among them were fire djinn, ogre berserkers, and even a translucent soul-sucking mist, and the last thing that came out was a monster with a dog's head and snake arms. It constantly exudes an aura of chaos and evil, and it seems to come from the lower planes.
"Damn, a Grebez demon. These guys actually dare to summon in the city, aren't they afraid of being hunted down by masked mages and temples? "Soram thinks the old boy is crazy.
