In an inconspicuous house in the civilian area of Combeda.
A man in gray clothes is sitting cross-legged in the room, eyes closed, practicing silently.
The dazzling silver-white brilliance, with the man in gray as the center, diffuses dazzling light all around.
It is not difficult to tell from the increasingly intense silvery-white brilliance that the man in gray is a silver swordsman, and an advanced silver swordsman at that.
At this time, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and a thin man in black hurriedly walked in.
The closed eyes of the man in gray suddenly opened, and his eyes were like two sharp swords, moving towards the thin man at high speed.
The thin man was frightened by the gaze of the man in gray, and his body trembled involuntarily. He quickly lowered his head and said, "I have no intention of disturbing the leader's practice. Please forgive me!"
Seeing that his trusted subordinates had barged in, the man in gray immediately withdrew his gaze and took a deep breath. The silvery white light blooming on his body suddenly disappeared silently.
The man in gray suddenly stood up, glanced at the thin man, and said calmly, "How is it? Is the matter done?"
"Go back to the leader! The person you want me to investigate has already been identified." The thin man said respectfully. He immediately told the man in gray the complete information he had collected.
After a pause, he added, "According to our intelligence reports, the target has returned home, and we can take action at any time."
"Very good!" said the man in gray; "Go and prepare now. Remember that our mission this time is mainly about stealing. Try not to hurt anyone as much as possible. Select some brothers with good skills and we will set off later.
!”
"Yes, chief!" the thin man bowed. Then he turned around and walked towards the door.
"Wait a minute!" The man in gray suddenly said.
When the thin man heard this, he immediately stopped, turned around, and asked, "Chief, do you have any other orders?"
"I always feel that this mission is not simple? It's not just like going to a count's mansion to steal something as listed in the buyer's information?" the man in gray said worriedly. The thin man in front of him had already followed him.
It had been more than ten years, so the man in gray felt reassured by him and expressed his doubts in his heart.
The thin man chuckled and said, "Our brothers have thoroughly investigated that person's background. That guy is just a playboy. It's no big deal. Are you too worried?"
"Forget it." The man in gray said: "Let the brothers be more vigilant later. This is a big deal. The buyer has a reward of 300,000 gold coins. This task is very popular! If not
Our brothers have been waiting in the guild early in the morning, so this task may not be our turn."
"Yes!" The thin man in black nodded in agreement; "Three hundred thousand gold coins, just for us to steal something, this is a very good deal."
"It's a good deal, but I always feel that this deal is a bit weird." The leader in black said breathlessly; "Theoretically, a task like stealing something would not exceed 10,000 gold coins as usual, but this time it is unprecedented.
It raised 300,000 gold coins. If it’s not that the buyer is mentally ill, then it’s because the things stolen in this mission are not trivial.”
"Let's not worry about this. Anyway, our mission is to steal a piece of information. Once we get the thing, as long as we hand in the task, then the matter has nothing to do with us. Even if the count wants to find someone to settle the score, it is still a matter of finding a buyer, and it has nothing to do with us.
We have nothing to do with it.”
"Yes!" The man in gray clothes shook his head, then waved to the thin man and said, "Go down and get ready!"
Half an hour later, a group of masked men in black appeared silently outside a mansion near the Royal Academy of Magical Martial Arts.
Unfortunately, this mansion is the same one that Zhang Yunfeng just bought.
Under the cover of darkness, this group of men in black quietly approached the mansion along the nearby streets.
The black night uniforms they wear are the best protective color in the dark night. Coupled with the black hoods, it can be said that they are dressed in black from head to toe. Under such circumstances, if others are standing far away, if not
His eyes are so sharp that it is difficult to see such a group of people hanging against the wall.
They quietly arrived at the outer wall of the mansion. The leader in black raised his right hand and moved it. The group of men in black nodded in unison. They exerted force on their feet at the same time and jumped into the already low outer wall of the mansion.
After climbing over the wall, the group of men in black immediately divided into two groups, starting from the front yard, and conducted a silent search of the mansion.
For a time, some shadows could be vaguely seen passing by throughout the entire mansion.
It's just strange that after the men in black entered the mansion, not only did they not encounter the elf guards responsible for patrolling, they didn't even encounter any of the servants and women.
However, the men in black didn't care about this and carefully conducted a street-style search in the front yard, focusing on the hidden secret rooms or basements.
Because they knew that since someone could offer them 300,000 gold coins to steal something, it would be impossible to display it openly and openly. It should be hidden in a secret room.
That's why they place their targets in those places. As long as they can find the secret room, they will naturally be able to find what they need.
And they had already prepared. If they couldn't find the secret room, they would have to take the last step and use force to force the owner of the mansion to hand over what they needed.
However, if it is not a last resort, they would not choose to use this method.
After all, no matter what you say, the owner of this mansion is still a count who threatens the nobles. If this matter is spread, they will not be easy.
Soon, with the division of labor and cooperation of these men in black, the front yard of the mansion was thoroughly searched by them, and the two groups met behind the rockery in the backyard.
The leader in black asked his subordinates: "How is it? Did you find anything?"
"No!" one of the men in black replied; "We have searched all the areas we are responsible for, but we have not found any secret rooms, not even a place that looks like an alchemy laboratory."
When the leader in black heard this, his doubtful eyes gradually flickered, and an uneasy feeling suddenly surged into his heart.
But when he thought of the rich rewards after completing the mission, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and said to the men around him: "Go, keep looking, be careful not to get close to the attic next to the small lake. There is
The residence of the owner of the mansion. Although that person is only a junior magician and poses no threat to us. But he is a wind magician and has the ability to fly. We must be on guard. Before we find something, we must not alert him, otherwise
, if a wind magician wants to leave, we can't stop him, and the mission will fail by then."
"Yes, chief." A deep voice sounded in unison.
Following the actions of the leader in black, dozens of men in black behind the rockery once again disappeared into the darkness and began to search other places.
The black-clothed leader stood behind the rockery for a while. After all his men had left, he quietly walked to the attic near the small lake and lay tightly on a nearby rock. He remained motionless and looked closely at the loft.
Stare at that attic.
If his men couldn't find the thing in the end, then he would have no choice but to ask the owner of the mansion where the thing was.
But facing a junior magister of the wind system, even if he himself is a silver swordsman and is a large step above the junior magister, it is very difficult to stop the wind wizard.
The only way is to subdue the wind mage before he finishes reciting the flying magic spell.
That's why the leader in black will stay here to serve as the last line of defense.
Once his men can't find something, he will rush into the attic immediately, subdue the magister, and then quickly torture him to find out the whereabouts of the thing he wants.
The leader in black is still very confident about his own strength. With his skills as a silver swordsman, it will never take more than twenty seconds to break into the nearby attic from here. As long as he can successfully enter the attic and find the
As the owner of the mansion, the matter is not difficult.
The Silver Swordsman fought in close combat with a junior magister, and the Silver Swordsman almost had the upper hand!
Although a count-level noble will be offended here, the leader in black doesn't care so much. As long as this task is completed, they will receive a huge sum of 300,000 gold coins. By then, the worst they can do is leave Combeda. Anyway,
With the power he and his men have, he won't have to worry about earning gold coins wherever he goes!
