Chapter 0162: Cliff Cottage (Third Shift)
"Guan Heng!" After Xia Ni stood firmly, she hurriedly turned her head, and at the critical moment just now, Guan Heng grabbed her arm and threw it back, but she fell to the bottom of the canyon!
"Woo...... Don't scare me! Xia Ni was so anxious that tears fell out: "Hey, Guan Heng, where are you?" ”
"I'm here!" Xia Ni suddenly heard the sound of huge wings flapping under the cliff, she looked over, it turned out that Guan Heng released the fire-based golden-eyed finch in the metal cylinder at the critical moment, and he himself grabbed a bird's claw and flew up!
Shani shouted at him, "Hey, are you alright?" ”
"Of course it's fine!" Guan Heng said with a smile: "And when I fell down just now, I also found some interesting things!" ”
"Whew! Smack! Guan Heng turned over and landed on the cliff, he said to Xia Ni: "There is a cave on the mountain wall directly below the cliff here, it looks quite deep, I feel that there is something in there, I will go and see it later!" ”
As the two of them spoke, they went to look for the two golden rats just now, only to see that the two little things were waiting at the edge of the dense fog not far away, and they seemed to be startled by the danger just now.
One of the little beasts jumped up to Xia Ni and circled around her twice, as if to see if she was injured!
"Alright, little thing!" Xia Ni smiled and picked it up: "I'm fine now, let's hurry up and find the people in the house in front of us!" ”
Suddenly, a gust of mountain wind blew, the thick fog cleared a little, and another golden thief led the two of them a hundred and ten steps forward, and they had already come to three simple thatched huts!
"Well, it seems like these three rooms haven't been repaired and inhabited for a long time!" Guan Heng casually glanced at it twice and said, "It's too shabby!" Speaking of this, Guan Heng and Xia Ni glanced at each other, and they both felt that there was little hope that the Kent brothers would still be alive.
Sure enough, the two people who had not yet entered the house were led by two small beasts to the back of the house, where there were two tombs!
Second brother, Lawn. Tomb of Kent...... Third brother, Galfa. Tomb of Kent...... The eldest brother of the monument erector, Fransen.
This is the handwriting on the tombstones in front of the two tombs.
"It seems that the first to die were Lawn and Galfa among the Kent brothers!" Xia Ni looked at the inscription on the tombstone and said, "The names can indeed match, they are right!" ”
"But the eldest of the Kent brothers at that time should not have died yet!" Guan Heng touched his chin and analyzed: "I don't know where he is at this time?" ”
"Let's go and see it first!" Xia Ni said to Guan Heng: "Maybe there are any clues in the house!" ”
"You two little ones, come!" Xia Ni said to a pair of golden rats, "Come with me to the thatched hut!" ”
"Squeak!" The two golden thieves nodded their heads again and again, and both ran to the thatched hut in the middle, opened the door with their little heads, and motioned for Xia Ni and Guan Heng to enter!
The two of them glanced at each other and stepped into the thatched hut. The furnishings of this room are very simple, utensils for drinking and eating, two chairs and a wooden table, and a bamboo couch for resting.
"There's no trace of Fransen in this room!" Xia Ni shook her head and said, "It looks like this person is missing......"
Before Xia Ni could finish speaking, a golden rat thief stood up, and it gently grabbed the corner of Xia Ni's clothes with its mouth.
"What for?" Xia Ni was confused at first, and then suddenly realized: "Are you going to let me go into the room?" ”
Xia Ni waved to Guan Heng, and the two followed the golden rat to the end of the room, and on the wall, there was a scribbled charcoal drawing, and on the screen, there were four men with similar looks at the dining table, laughing and clinking glasses!
"It's like a portrait of the Kent brothers! And it's the handiwork of the third Galfa! ”
After seeing the painting, Xia Ni muttered to herself: "Because the slightly older people in the Thieves' Guild know that Galfa of the Kent brothers, in addition to being a skilled thief, is also a very famous painter, and his main targets for stealing are works of art from various countries!" ”
"But aren't they three brothers?" Guan Heng said with some doubts: "Why are there four people with similar appearances on the painting?" ”
"I don't know......" Xia Ni had just answered these three words, and the golden thief rat next to her suddenly jumped several feet high, and it scratched the charcoal drawing on the wall with its paws, squeaking!
"Hey, this little guy seems to be hinting at something, I'll take the painting off first!" As he spoke, Guan Heng stretched out his hand and took off this work, the wall behind the charcoal drawing was really a little strange, and there was a small mechanism door on it!
"Huh? This is a brand that only the members of our Thieves Guild know! After carefully identifying it, Xia Ni reached out and touched the mark on the secret door, and then said to Guan Heng: "There are five different kinds of mechanism locks on it, all of which can only be opened by experienced thieves. ”
"Are you sure to open it?" Guan Heng asked softly.
"Give it a try, because I've opened a secret door with a maximum of three locks before!" Xia Ni said with a solemn face: "Opening these locks is a huge challenge for me, if I can unlock the five locks in one go, my theft skills can be significantly improved, which is a great benefit to me!" ”
"Guan Heng, I need absolute silence now!" Looking at the secret door with slightly squinted eyes, Xia Ni continued: "In this way, I can study these mechanisms without any influence, please wait outside the house now, and don't let these two little guys disturb me!" ”
"Squeak-" The two golden rats listened to Xia Ni's words, and seemed to understand, their two four front paws suddenly dug up the soil in place, raising dust everywhere, and the hole was getting deeper, and in a few seconds, the golden rat pulled out a small iron box from the hole and pushed it in front of Xia Ni.
"Click, boom!" When Xia Ni opened the box, it turned out that it contained a complete set of special tools for thieves: small saws, small pliers, small tweezers, small scissors, as well as drills of various thicknesses and lengths, adzes, etc.
"Haha, are these all for me?" Xia Ni smiled and touched the heads of the two little beasts: "It seems that this is something left by the Kent brothers, so I, a junior in the same class, will accept it unceremoniously!" ”
The two golden rats knew what Xia Ni was going to do next, and they turned around and ran out of the room, because the little beasts knew in their hearts that Xia Ni needed absolute silence at this moment, so they didn't plan to bother here.
"Xia Ni, then I want to go out for a spin too!" Guan Heng said: "I will let the six-eyed demon scorpion and the golden-eyed finch guard the door, they will protect your safety!" ”
