This time the incident was so big that it was no longer a small treasure theft.
Even if he is caught, it is unknown whether the powerful monsters that have poured into the surface will be willing to honestly retreat underground. And the Thieves' Guild is still willing to protect itself, which is even more unexpected to him.
However, at present, no one and no force can fully believe it.
Just as the shadow wanted to quietly escape, the latecomer suddenly remembered something.
"Wait a minute, Lord Sean, there's a magic badge that Daddy asked me to bring you. With it, you'll be able to get supplies at the Scarlet Camp or Tyre Manor once you've passed the blockade. ā
With that, little Tony took out a dark and simple bronze badge from his bosom and handed it to the black shadow. The other party hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to take it.
The moment the black shadow's finger touched the badge, a "flash spell" preset on it was triggered.
At this moment, the instantaneous white flash that can be compared to the scorching sun illuminates the entire sparse forest, and at the moment when the white light is lit up, the original young and sluggish little Tony's figure suddenly becomes smart. While closing his eyes and retreating, countless cold rays flashed between his hands, all of which disappeared into the tall body that had no time to dodge in the black shadow.
"Puff puff ......"
The dull starlight exploded into his body, but little Tony, who was retreating, suddenly changed his face.
No, the sound is not right. This is not the sound of a star dart piercing into a human body.
Little Tony tiptoed his toes, leaving a shallow footprint on the damp and soft woodland, and his body was slightly tilted, intending to change his backward trajectory.
But it was too late.
There was a soft "poof", and a cold-light dagger sank into the back of his neck, revealing a ray of essence directly from his gaping mouth.
He actually crashed into the dagger that the other party had been waiting for for a long time.
The dagger is collected as soon as it appears.
Little Tony stumbled two steps and reached out to say something, but the surging blood instantly drowned out his words.
"Goo-dong...... Poof......"
Countless blood foams poured out of his mouth, and little Tony finally rolled over and fell weakly.
Just as little Tony couldn't help but convulse and spasme, the tall and burly figure finally walked out of the darkness and slowly paced to the other party's side. There was a "poof" sound of a heavy object falling down, and the originally burly figure was thrown to the ground next to Tony like a debris, revealing a thin and low body behind him.
It turned out that the so-called tall human figure was just a scarecrow held up in the other party's hand, and the other party's body was only as tall and short as a dwarf. No, in a trance, there was a crisp bone explosion, and the dwarf humanoid slowly grew and swollen, and finally returned to its true appearance.
This black scarf masked, dressed in a black night suit, Sean thief is neither tall nor short, completely normal one-meter-seven body shape, shrewd and capable body is neither fat nor thin, it is the ideal figure of a standard thief.
Unfortunately, with the example just now, I am afraid that no one will dare to believe the illusion they see with their eyes. A legendary thief who has mastered the "bone shrinking technique" and "camouflage technique", although he is not necessarily strong in frontal combat, is an out-and-out expert in stealth and concealment.
Flipping over Tony's body on tiptoe, Sean in black examined his limbs and hands, and finally confirmed that this was indeed an internal member of the Thieves' Guild.
He sighed helplessly.
This indicates that the Thieves' Guild has also become unreliable, and everything will have to rely on itself in the future.
"Anne, you have to hold on. I'm going to get that little branch of life! ā
After silently praying, looking at the deep night around him, Sean pursed his dry lips and turned to disappear into the darkness.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Half an hour later, the first wave arrived with several thin figures dressed as fellow Nightcrawlers.
They walked around the forest several times, and finally gathered next to Tony's overturned body.
With little need to look for traces, these veteran trackers can intuitively sketch the scene in their minds. Before they could discuss the results, a series of torches appeared on the distant horizon, and a fire dragon was slowly approaching here in the night.
Several of the Nightkin hurriedly retreated, not forgetting to sprinkle some special phosphorus powder on the corpse and its surroundings before leaving. A moment later, a strange fire suddenly broke out in the forest. The fire came and went as fast as it came, and by the time the distant team arrived at the scene, all that was left was the swarthy ground and a charred corpse that could no longer be seen.
The cacophony of people shouting and neighing woke up the sleeping hills, and the bodies of the second group of visitors flashed with continuous metal reflections under the reflection of many dazzling fires. A Church knight dressed in a full suit of fine armor, a Church priest with an elaborate chain mail inside, a clergy dressed in a priest's robe, and several mercenaries dressed as hunters.
"Go find out what's going on here?" A ** priest who was on a horse whispered.
Mercenaries dressed as hunters scattered in search of clues, and a Templar shrouded in heavy armor walked to the charred corpse.
As the brilliance of the divine magic burst out, several priests murmured around the scorched corpse, and the prayers in their mouths praising the god of justice provoked a strong divine reaction.
"Is it the thief we're looking for?" The Templar who led the group asked softly.
"It's not. Detecting the Divine Feedback message shows that this is not what we are looking for! ā
"But in him, the magic still senses the breath of the target."
"Looks like the subject has been in contact with him."
A few priests, you and I quickly described the situation in the field.
"My lord, I found the traces of the other party's departure!"
Several high-level wilderness hunters came back in surprise to report.
"Get on your horse and keep chasing! Thomas, stay and bury the body! ā
The hunter who had been named bowed in response.
As a level 7 mercenary, he can only do these chores!
The horseshoe mountain sounded, the earth roared, and the church team did not stop for a moment, and soon ran along the forest road into the distance.
When the forest was quiet again, the hunter who had been left behind could only honestly take out the digging tools from the saddle and dig a hole next to the corpse. In the silent night sky in the distance, there was a long cry of night owls being startled, the light of shining torches, and the blackened and unpleasant corpses of the forest created a terrifying atmosphere for the scene.
Thomas struggled to dig through the dirt as he cursed the bastard knight he had assigned to his errand. Isn't it just a Holy Rank Knight! What is the spirit? If you really have what you say you are just and holy, why don't you bury this body yourself? Hum......
When the pit was finally dug up, Thomas threw down his tools in hatred, turned around and tried to drag the charred corpse into the pit. But at this time, he was horrified to find that a strange figure with his whole body tucked into a black robe was standing in front of him and watching him silently.
"You...... You are ......"
Thomas screamed backwards as he reached for the short knife behind his waist, but he froze there only halfway through these movements. Soon, he let go of his right hand holding the hilt of the knife, and the whole person walked up to the black-robed man as stiffly as a marionette, his hands hanging low as if sleepwalking, and uncontrollable saliva began to drip down the corners of his lips.
The hood that covered the black-robed man's face squirmed like waves, and two thick, sticky tentacles reached out from inside and rested on the hunter's head.
The hunter's stiff body shook like chaff, convulsing like electricity, his eyes rolled wide, and his mouth snorted with a "whine......
Soon, it was all over.
The hunter, whose brain had been drained, fell like a rotten wood into the pit he had dug out, completely deprived of his breath of life.
And when the cold night wind blew and the torches jumped, the black-robed figure could no longer be seen in the field.
Unfortunately, tonight is destined to be a night that cannot be silenced.
I don't know how long later, another lonely figure in a black robe appeared next to the shallow pit.
The visitor looked at the charred corpse next to him, looked at the hunter's corpse lying in the shallow pit, his feet crossed outside the pit, and covered his nose to stop sniffing the scorched stench. A moment later, a mysterious murmur sounded in the forest. As the comer's hands danced and adjusted slowly, an illusory and hazy light and shadow were projected in front of him, which was exactly what had happened in the forest before.
The eerie black robe with the tentacles of the octopus, the unconcealed nature of the church procession, and the destruction of the corpses of the Nightcrawlers...... In the end, the light and shadow flickered, and the camera was fixed on the scene where the black-scarf Sean squatted next to the corpse and examined it.
"Lord Shaslar, do you think it's this person?"
The words of the comer were obviously not addressed to the two dead people in the room. On the chest of his slightly open black burqa, a transparent brooch made of magical gems was simultaneously transmitting all of this in front of him.
"Judging from the information gathered so far, it should be this thief. However, there are quite a few competitors ahead of us, and after you destroy the clues there, you will rush to Hans City. There will be a few companions who will join you and find a way to get ahead of the thief. Remember, the Dragon's Heart is the Summoning Master Gugman's designation, and this matter must not be messed up, you must do your best! From the transparent brooch came the deep and capable voice of Shaslar, the vice president of the Mage Guild.
Moments later, multiple bursting fireballs exploded in succession, completely destroying everything at the scene. Suddenly, the brilliance of a portal that lit up the hill slowly faded, and the place was finally peaceful again.
But tranquility is always temporary.
Half an hour later, a group of mercenaries with torches swarmed and rode around the hill many times without finding any valuable clues. Everything that had happened in the sparse forest had been tampered with beyond recognition by a steady stream of trackers, and it was impossible to find the trace of the legendary thief in it.
But it doesn't matter if you can't find the thief, it's also a good clue to be able to find the tracker. Therefore, the huge clues left by the church team became a beacon for the subsequent mercenary groups, and they stepped on their horses one after another and followed the horseshoe prints left by the other party.
It was a long, strange night.
