Chapter Twenty-Eight: Infiltration
Dean didn't dare to be careless in advance, and Molde's appearance of the city and insidious was enough to make Dean cautious.
And it turns out how important such caution is.
Less than three paces away from the door, under the blanket of the hallway, a careful Dean appeared, along with a switch that connected it: a raised hook on a hanger one step behind the door.
Obviously, any intruder, once accidentally stepping on the flap, the whole person will inevitably fall into it, and during this period, the blanket spread on it will restrain you like a net, so that your agile and powerful skills are greatly restricted, and even if you break away, it is unbearable.
Undoubtedly, the person who set this trap has considerable experience.
Dean didn't turn off the flap switch, and jumped over it.
After that, he found no less than six similar traps in the house, which had a master bedroom, a secondary bedroom, a study, and a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom; Almost every place has a trap, especially the one in the master bedroom.
Dean was sure that anyone who dared to open the door would be shot in the cold.
Twisting slightly, the decorative wavy relief on the frame of the bedroom door was twisted, and when there was a crisp 'click' from behind the door, Dean carefully pushed the bedroom door open.
For Dean, who used to be an assassin and a killer, although the traps in it are not worth mentioning compared to the residences of some really big people, it is quite remarkable that he can do this with Molde's status and money, and plus the flap at the door - Dean can be sure that these arrangements are from a rather professional thief.
Of course, that's not cheap.
As for Molde's connection to the tax collectors and the thieves?
Even if it's for the sake of selling the stolen goods, Molde will definitely deal with the thieves' union in Vaubon.
However, these are not the things that Dean needs to pay attention to now, and he has entered the master bedroom, and is now seriously looking for any possible place to hide his belongings.
Bedside tables, wardrobes, such obvious places, of course, are not Dean's choice.
Since there is already a trap set by thieves, it is not very strange that another secret room arranged by thieves will appear.
Moreover, Dean believed that with the tax collector's caution about the demonic blood dagger, he would not be stingy with such a secret room.
Soon, with the help of previous experience, Dean found a place that was probably a secret room, behind the head of the bed, the walls were obviously 'thicker' - Molde's house was a very complete square, with an independent bedroom and study, but without a second floor, divided into two parts, the back part was the master bedroom and study on one side, the secondary bedroom, kitchen and bathroom on the other side, and the remaining space was the front part, the corridor from the entrance and the living room where the entrance began.
Therefore, although the size of the space in each room varies depending on the function, the wall on which each room rests on each side should be one.
Obviously, though, it's not here in the master bedroom!
When compared to the study, Dean was sure that the walls of the master bedroom were nearly a half-and-a-half feet thicker than the study on the same side, and at that thickness, there was just enough room for an adult!
Knock, knock......
The slightly hollow tapping sound confirmed Dean's guess even more.
And then, of course, looking for the institution to enter—and quickly, almost subconsciously, the tax officer's slightly bright, even slightly painted, bedside was in Dean's eye.
Compared to the head of the bed on the other side, the head of the bed that Dean was looking at was undoubtedly rubbed for a long time, or rather...... Turn!
Dean stretched out his hand, carefully trying to twist it from side to side, and when he confirmed the looseness of the left side, Dean easily turned the head of the bed—
Click, click, click......
With the faint sound of springs and gears, a secret door was revealed from the originally tightly knit wall, and a downward corridor appeared in front of Dean.
Looking at the corridor hidden in the chamber, Dean walked down with more and more caution.
After all, there is no guarantee that there will be no danger in this corridor.
In fact, in Dean's experience, many experienced thieves will set up even more deadly traps in places where the intruder is relieved and thinks it is safe.
However, the tax collector apparently thought that his corridor was secluded enough, or...... There weren't enough Kimptons to set it up - although the tax collector had a considerable family because of his cooperation with the head of the Knights of the Fercharon Order, and because he was mainly responsible for selling the stolen goods, the price of hiring a thief was not so cheap, especially in the remote part of Tyre, and the price of hiring thieves was usually about thirty percent higher than in other places: an average thief would pay thirty Kimptons a month.
In addition to the scarcity of the Thiel Thieves' Guild, it is more due to Baron Tyre.
Although this Baron of Tyre is very happy and has a bit of a snobbery, it is undeniable that he is still a competent baron, at least in terms of ensuring the safety of his people, this Baron of Tyre is much better than the two barons of the Defendi and Ruhr Lords.
Hunting down and purging bandits always earned Baron Tyre a good reputation.
As a result, the thieves did not have a good time in Tyre, and even Dean wondered if there would have been thieves in Tyre if it had not been for the protection of Molde, the tax collector.
Of course, although most of the time it is mutually beneficial, the principle that should have been.
For example: the thieves' pay!
'Giving must be rewarded!' ’
This is a rule set by the leaders of the thieves' guilds everywhere, and it will not be changed by any one person - as one of the few bottom lines of thieves, this is regarded by the vast majority of thieves as a dogma of life.
And when the cautious Dean came to the end of the hallway: a small room, after a little observation, he overturned his two previous guesses-
In this room, which is less than ten square meters, except for one passage that has not yet been completed, there are only two large and small boxes left.
The unfinished passage, judging from those traces, obviously did not come from the hands of professionals - in this regard, Dean was not surprised, with a person like Moder, he would never give everything to a collaborator, in fact, let alone an unreliable collaborator like a thief, even a reliable ally, a relative, the other party would not believe it, and even the more ruthless.
And this is a foregone conclusion, after all, the Baron of Tyre has a relationship with the other party, but the other party has not been soft in the slightest to kill the former and the children of the former.
In addition to the unfinished passage, the remaining two chests, one large and one small, the large box contained two bags of Kimpton and a small bag of gems, the former bag each contained a hundred Kimptons, and the latter although the size was much smaller, but Dean just looked at the size and color of those gems, he could confirm that this small bag of gems was almost equal to the sum of the first two, and there was no problem in selling for two hundred Kimptons.
It was evident that the Morder tax officer was not short of money, and with the fact that the passage seemed to have been done by him but was not completed, it was clear that the reason why there were no traps in the chamber was not because the Morder tax officer thought it was safe, but because he no longer trusted the hired thieves.
Or rather...... There was never trust!
However, this has nothing to do with Dean - after picking up the Kimpton and gem bags in the large box without hesitation, Dean set his sights on the small box.
Click!
The iron lock had no effect in front of Dean, and after it was easily opened, the small box was opened—on the pale red flannel, a dagger slightly longer than an ordinary dagger, but much shorter than an ordinary dagger, with a twisted and flipped arc at the edge, and a dagger with a special shape like a goat's horn, appeared there.
"Demon Blood Dagger!"
When Dean saw the dagger's special shape, he immediately affirmed that this was his goal this time—although he had not seen it in his own memory, the Grand Duchess had described it to him more than once, so Dean remembered it vividly.
And after his finger touched the target, he was even more confirmed.
