In the evening, the view of the marina area is amazing. The golden afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled down, giving all the buildings a golden coat, especially the sparkling sea in the distance, which looked almost as if the entire seabed was covered with gold coins. But the people on the road were in a hurry, and no one was going to appreciate it at all.

Since the start of the underground war, the shadow thieves have basically been in a passive situation. Especially in the last two weeks, even the vicinity of their headquarters has not been safe. At night, powerful vampires often turn into bats and hover over the docks. Surprise attacks were launched as soon as suspicious targets were spotted, and so far at least thirty innocent people have been implicated.

No one doesn't value their lives, so everyone takes refuge in the house before dark. Except for a few orioles who were forced to come out and stand on the street at night in order to make a living, even sailors and robbers knew to find a tavern to hide. It can be said that the people who still dare to walk around the streets now are either absolutely confident in their own skills, or they are strangers who know nothing.

Of course, Henry and his party belong to the former, and even if the vampire queen Bardy comes in person, I'm afraid they will have to go back sideways. They had just come out of the dwarven blacksmith Cromwell's shop and were heading towards the headquarters of the Shadow Thieves Guild. Along the way, Viconia has been secretly figuring out how she can get what she wants. For example, the secret of taming dragons, and the recipe for longevity potions.

In her eyes, the young human man in front of her was full of mystery, and it made people want to explore. You must know that as an exiled dark elf, this reaction is very abnormal, because too close will not only make the other person wary but even angry. And you'll get yourself trapped. Either one is deadly.

Viconia had no idea that Shar had already done something to her. These desires are implanted in the mind in a way that is implied by guò, making one unwittingly a slave through and through. The goddess of the night has always only used her followers as pawns and tools, using them to destroy all the past, present and future, and life and death have never been considered.

For such a god, Henry was very jealous from the bottom of his heart. He didn't imagine that some people would be fooled by Shar's beauty and mystique, and then fall under a pomegranate skirt and become a loyal thug. It was this strict defense that did not give the sinister goddess a chance, so she had to exert influence on her own priest.

Half an hour later. The group arrived at the headquarters of the Shadow Thieves Guild, located on the west side of the docklands. It is a huge three-story building that covers half a street. Before they could get close to the main entrance, a thief who was in charge of guarding the door came up and shouted, "Stop! Strangers are not welcome here, and if you don't walk away, you're welcome. ”

"Boy! You'd better swallow that back, or I wouldn't mind seeing blood on the new axe. Kogan drew his weapon and threatened. In his eyes, shadow thieves are nothing more than a bunch of petty thieves who can kill several with a single axe.

"Don't ...... Stay back! Again...... I'm going to call someone again! The ferocity and brutality of the dwarves were clearly beyond the thieves' expectations, and he never thought that someone would rush to the gate of the Shadow Thieves' Guild.

"That's enough, stop. I'm here to seek cooperation, not kill them. Henry said lightly, and then threw a sealed letter over. Give this to Renault. Bloody head. Just say I'm waiting for him here. ”

"Good...... Okay, you just stay here and don't go anywhere. So saying, the thief grabbed the letter, turned around, and ran inside.

Look at the way he looks like his ass is running through the pee. Kogan let out a loud mockery, "Hahahahaha! The milky boy who has not dried up actually pretended to be an uncle in front of me. Get out of here, go back to your mother's arms and nurse. ”

"This is Su zhì, a member of the Shadow Thieves Guild? It doesn't look like that's good! Viconia also whispered an understatement.

After sighing slightly, Henry explained to his two teammates: "Actually, the members of the Shadow Thieves Guild are quite good, and the organizational structure is also very tight. But the recent war losses are too great, and it is estimated that many elite players are almost dead, and the rest are hiding and accumulating strength to wait for an opportunity to counterattack. As for the people we saw at the door, these were all newcomers, sent out as bait to lure vampires into attacking. ”

In fact, he didn't expect that the shadow thief would fall into such a way, and he couldn't even keep the territory at his doorstep. It seems that the timing of his coming this time is just right, and I'm afraid that Renault will be a little later. Bloodhead, this guy is about to run away.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, the current situation is even worse than Henry expected, and a few days ago, the vampire queen Bardy personally attacked the pillar of the union, the legendary thief Arcanis. He was now lying in bed with serious injuries, most of his body had been eroded by strange negative energy, and he was at a loss after trying to find several priests in a row.

Seeing his most powerful subordinate slowly dying, Renault felt indescribably sad. He knew very well that the reason why the vampires hadn't invaded until now was because they hadn't confirmed Arcanis' death. Once the legendary thief takes his last breath, I'm afraid the headquarters will be bloodied that night.

He was ready to run away, and would leave the tunnel as soon as there was any disturbance. As for the rest of the union and the ostensible leader of Alan. Linville will all be sacrificed to attract the attention of the enemy and buy himself as much time as possible.

The room was dead silent now, except for the occasional faint moan from Arcanis. Almost everyone knew that the boss was in a very bad mood, and it was obviously very unwise to provoke him at this time. Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and a few seconds later, the door was slammed open.

"Boss, there are a few arrogant guys out there who want to see you, and they also asked me to bring this letter." The thief who guarded the gate took out the letter and presented it with both hands.

Out of an abundance of caution, Renault didn't immediately pick up the letter, but gave a look and asked a guy dressed as a mage to check it. He didn't want to be caught in the inexplicable poison or magical curse of carelessness, as many ambitious subordinate union leaders had done so before, so it was right to be careful.

After a few minutes, the mage picked up the seal and explained, "There is nothing wrong with the letter itself, but I must remind you that the arcane sigil on it belongs to a legendary mage. ”

"Can you confirm the identity of the other party?" Renault asked, frowning. He couldn't think of anyone else who would come to him at such a time, especially when the other party still had such a strong strength.

The mage shook his head regretfully. "Can't! If it weren't for the fact that the master hadn't hidden his casting level, I wouldn't have been able to find out anything from this. ”

"Hey...... I hope I don't come looking for trouble again. Renault sighed and opened the envelope. When he saw the eye-catching mark printed on it, he was stunned, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and then he immediately kicked the thief who reported the news and shouted: "Quick! Go and bring these people in! Remember! Yes with please! ”

"Yes...... Yes, I'll go. The thief got up from the ground and ran towards the door.

"You! Hurry up and grab the most precious magic items in the warehouse, they may come in handy in a moment. Besides, go and call Alan, too, for I have something to discuss with him. ”

Renault recognized this arcane sigil at a glance. As the largest criminal organization in the Amm region, the Shadow Thieves have a well-developed intelligence agency. He had already received specific information that the dragon slaying incident that had caused a lot of noise during this time, as well as the destruction of the Ronore family, were all done by Henry with the son of God.

In Renault's opinion, since the other party has the strength to kill Balagas "Flying Flame", it must be no problem to deal with vampires. But when he thought about the current state of the Shadow Thieves Guild, he couldn't help but have a headache. Obviously, hiring such an adventuring party would come at a great cost, not to mention the heirs of the legendary mage and god of killing, Baal.

"Money alone won't do it, and the unions don't have much cash on hand right now. Hopefully, these few magic items at the bottom of the box will satisfy them, otherwise they will only be left with a division of territory. Renault lowered his head and muttered to himself calculating the resources he could still use. He can now be said to have reached the end of his rope, as long as he can eliminate the vampire and hold his position, he is willing to pay any price.

No one wants to fall from the pinnacle of power, especially a leader like Renault, who wields enormous power. But the Shadow Thief is not a charitable organization after all, and once he loses power, he is afraid that he will be kicked out by the other five members of the Shadow Council. In order to save his rights and life, he has already given up, even if he sells some interests.

The thieves who led the way were quick and brought the three to the union hall a few minutes later. Henry observed the interior design along the way, asking questions from time to time. It has to be said that this place is very suitable for thieves. Whether it is a labyrinth-like complex partition wall, or the arrow holes, traps, and hidden compartments of the Tibetans that appear every few steps, they all fully embody the essence of the word sneak attack.

The narrow corridor simply does not allow more than three people to walk side by side, completely limiting the crowd tactics. The cobweb-like secret passage makes it easy for thieves to gather and launch a surprise attack on some of their enemies, and then retreat safely after killing them all. As for the traps on the ground, there are simply as many as cow's hair, and the sharp spikes are all quenched with poison to ensure that the throat is sealed with blood. He even felt that even if a thousand elite soldiers were sent in, it would be difficult for a few of them to get out alive, and the whole building was even more terrifying than a castle.
