Chapter 6: Uncle Miller
The alley at the back door of the Burning Horse Inn.
The young thief yawned boredly, his eyes staring blankly.
It's a boring task. The other party is a half-elf warrior, and it is said that the employer asked for it, but the boss's request is only to grasp her movements, and all they need to do is to report the whereabouts of the female half-elf to the above on time.
"Three watches in the middle of the night, who will go on the street. It's a problem to meet a patrolman. The thief held back his sleepiness.
The boss of the Akron gang is ambitious, and he is no longer satisfied with the previous petty fights such as collecting protection money, and this is an attempt for him to enter the relevant black fields such as **. Everyone in the gang knows that if you mess up this mission, you will have to lose your head.
Well? There's wind behind you?
The thief leaned back in sudden alarm.
In the dark alley, there was no one left.
"Nervous?" The thief frowned for a moment before slowly turning his gaze.
……
"This guy's perception is good."
Marven, who had just been shocked by the thief's movements, was in a cold sweat, and took half a step back.
The Ranger's stealth in the city is debilitated by 4o%, which is not comparable to the effect of the Rogues. The sneak at 24 o'clock is a little low in front of the thief's perception, this is not the wild, and Marven has no advantage.
Fortunately, I accurately estimated the range of the thief's perception and tested it.
Marven secretly said in his heart that it was a fluke, if he approached impulsively just now, the thief would definitely show himself. If he is allowed to give the signal, tonight's matter will be tricky.
He hid in the shadows, thought about it, and finally piled up all the remaining 2o valuable skill points on [Stealth]. 44 points of sneaking, even if you make a six-fold discount, there are more than 26 points, there should be some hope.
After adjusting his skills, he leaned forward slightly again, stretching out one foot and stepping on the ground.
Sure enough, this time the thieves didn't react, staring intently at the back door of the inn.
The next one is easy to do.
Marven stepped silently and touched behind the thief, and pounced decisively before the other party could react.
Skillfully covering the mouth, cutting the throat, and bloodletting.
Except for the smell of blood in the air, there was no trace left.
This is a level 2 thief, Marven hastily disposed of the corpse, got some materials to make a trap, and 3o silver coins. These gang members are actually not wealthy, their equipment is worse than the tabula rasa scimitar that Marven bought himself, most of them are used to scare ordinary people, and it is difficult to come in handy in real professional battles.
The body of the thief was dragged by Marven into the gutter, and every day there were some unlucky people in the gutter, and no one cared about these faces except the corpse collector.
Quietly entering through the back door of the hotel, Marven sneaked upstairs and entered the room.
Who knew that at the moment when the door opened, a cold light suddenly hit his neck.
"Sneaky guy! What exactly do you want to do? ”
A female voice said coldly.
Marven smiled bitterly and hurriedly said, "Sister Anna, it's me." ”
"Young Master Marven?"
The rubbing flint lit a candle, and the dark room had more light.
Anna held the candle in her left hand and the sword in her right hand, with a look of surprise.
"Didn't you say you weren't coming back tonight? I thought you'd spend the night at the Silver Church. ”
Marven shook his head, the church of the Silver Church does have a place for travelers to rest, but the rent there can be more expensive.
"Listen, Anna, we only have fifteen minutes." Marven speaks very quickly. His eyes swept around the room, only to be surprised to see that the windows were tightly covered by curtains.
"What have you seen?" He looked at Anna.
Anna hesitated for a moment and pointed out the window with her sword: "Those words before you left reminded me, I did a little reconnaissance, and now there are people on the street outside who have been staring outside. We had this room. ”
"The men of the Akron gang." Marven nodded and said, "Two at the front door and one at the back door." ”
"Young Master Marven, why did you suddenly ......" Anna looked at Marven in some surprise, as if looking at another person.
"I don't have time to explain too much." Marven showed a resolute look: "Anna, you have to believe me." I recovered from a serious illness this time, my mind became clearer, and I knew what I had to do. And I got some guidance. ”
"Guidelines?" Looking at the mysterious Marven, Anna became more and more confused.
Marven casually said nonsense: "When I was in a coma, I dreamed of many things, and I dreamed of a person who claimed to be my teacher. In my dreams, he taught me many things. And just now, I followed his instructions and did some of the necessary steps, you see. ”
With that, he showed off the sika deer badge.
"Ranger badge? Master Marven, why did you suddenly become a ranger? How is this done? ”
Anna was completely stunned. You must know that ordinary people need years of training to become professionals, but Young Master Marven has never undergone combat training, so this Ranger Badge can't be fake, right?
Or did he meet some scammer again?
Anna prefers to believe Marven in the latter rather than Marven indeed turning into a qualified ranger.
Looking at Anna's eyes, Marven knew that she didn't believe herself, and said in a deep voice: "Leave the unimportant things in the house and take the important ones away." By the way, leave a letter to the proprietress of the Burning Horse Inn and ask her to help take care of our belongings, and we will come back to pick them up later. ”
"Now, I need your help."
Marven's tone was unquestionable, Anna took a deep breath, and secretly swore in her heart that if Marven really met a liar, she would definitely break the guy who deceived her young master!
At the moment, she just nodded submissively. Prepared for any situation - she has been trained from an early age to be a qualified bodyguard and a competent housekeeper, she is the greatest help to the owners of the White River Valley, and when Marven makes a choice, she will only give her full support.
The two of them quickly cleaned up and quietly left through the back door.
……
In the quiet alley, Marven whispered: "The dark sentry of the Akron gang confirms that each other is safe once in twenty minutes, and they use the method of partridge calling, I observed it before, about three partridge calls mean safe." It's a pity that none of us can speak partridge language, so our time is limited. ”
"I don't understand what you mean yet." Anna asked softly, "You said there's a dark whistle at the back door?" Where is he? ”
Marven coughed: "In the ditch at the back." ”
Anna was silent, but there was a storm in her heart. Young Master Marven, she couldn't know better, such a kind person actually took the initiative to kill.
However, she is not completely incomprehensible to Marven's anomaly.
A wise man once said that the potential of human beings is limitless. When a person is in a desperate situation, there is a high probability that there will be some metamorphosis - good or bad - no matter what, people will change in order to live better.
These days, the White River Valley and Young Master Marven have suffered too much blow. Far beyond what the 14-year-old could afford. It is not completely impossible for that kind-hearted Young Master Marven to become decisive and cold.
It's just that she is a little worried, worried that Marven will go to the other extreme from now on.
In any case, since the dark post in the back has been killed by Marven, it won't be long before the two enemies at the front door will also show this.
So Marvin kept saying that they didn't have much time.
"I'm going to kill them." Anna showed a hint of murder. Just in the house, Marven explained to her that he had been intercepted and killed by members of the Akron gang, and it was only with the guidance of the teacher in his dream that he escaped the crisis and returned to the hotel.
This shocked and angered Anna.
Anyone dares to beat Young Master Marven's idea, she will definitely not let him go.
"No, no, no, Anna, if I was just going to kill them, I wouldn't have come to you for help."
Marven said calmly: "We have to leave at least one alive." ”
"Alive?" Anna frowned.
"Because I want to know who is trying to kill me. The Akron gangsters couldn't have done it to me for no reason, there must have been someone behind them. ”
Marven said softly: "I have the impression that there are no enemies in River Beach City. ”
"No!" Anna suddenly remembered something, and a look of incredulity appeared on her face, which immediately turned into a thick anger.
"What's wrong? Anna? Marven asked.
"Young master, I think I might know who is secretly doing it to you."
Anna gritted her teeth and said, "I've been working in your uncle Miller's house for the past few days, and I have accidentally heard that he is very close to the Akron gang!" ”
"The leader of the Akron gang, Diafes, personally entered your uncle's mansion the other day and took a lot of jewels! This is what the cook Ah Tao saw with her own eyes, and she later told me as gossip. I didn't really care much at the time! ”
"Now that I think about it, it's very likely that the one who is behind the scenes is your Uncle Miller!!"
"Uncle Miller?" Marven was stunned for a moment and began to search for related memories.
