Episode 9 Legends in the Ancient Scrolls Section 5 Returning Without Success 1
After passing through a dark passage, Corey suddenly felt his eyes light up. Dozens of lights were shining around the room. A thin middle-aged man squinted his eyes and leaned on a chair, seemingly not noticing Corey and Raymond coming in.
Corey pulled up the cloak that covered his face a little, and noticed that there was a bronze statue on the table at the end of the room. It was very exquisite. Corey was shocked when he took a closer look, and he couldn't help but walked a few steps quickly to get there.
Before taking the case, I took another look and compared it with Raymond's face.
Raymond naturally noticed the bronze statue, gave Corey a strange smile, and touched his chin. The beard on the bronze statue was very long, and the hair was disheveled on the back of his head. Raymond at this time
The hair and beard have been trimmed, especially the hair has been shortened.
Corey also smiled, understanding that this bronze statue must be what Raymond looked like back then, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch the bronze statue.
At this moment, Jackson, who was leaning on the chair with squinted eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, whipped out a small knife like lightning, and stabbed Corey's right hand. Corey was so shocked that he had no time to retract his hand.
At that moment, there was a flash of silver light in front of his eyes, and the flying knife ended up in Raymond's hand somehow.
"Silver thread knife..." Three male voices and one female voice suddenly screamed. The female voice was the one who covered his face with a cloak and ate slowly when Corey entered the tavern.
Corey let out a sigh of relief, pulled his cloak lower, and sat on a nearby chair.
"Who are you, and what is your relationship with Bejibuti, the King of Thieves?" Jackson asked respectfully.
In the underworld, it is said that Bejibuti, the king of thieves, has no children and has never accepted an apprentice. He uses a very thin silver wire to tie a small flying knife, but he has many special skills such as hooking, stabbing, snatching, and fetching. In the mainland
There are many people who want to learn this trick, but no one has succeeded.
Raymond laughed: "You kid, you have become the boss after just a few years of not seeing each other."
Jackson was shocked. He stared at Raymond's face for a long time before exclaiming: "Captain, Commander. It's great that you are still alive..." Jackson stood with tears streaming down his face.
The place was trembling. The thieves group was completely wiped out, all members were almost dead, and all twelve cadres were killed. However, Jackson was an errand boy next to Raymond at the time, and no one noticed him. Here,
Just escaped from death.
Raymond smiled: "I live a life on the edge of a knife, and it doesn't matter when I die."
The three people standing at the door of the room looked at Raymond in surprise. Although they vaguely guessed who the person in front of them was, they couldn't believe it.
"Bei..." Jackson just opened his mouth to say something and mentioned only one word of Raymond's previous name. Raymond raised his hand to block his face and said coldly: "Beji Buti is dead.
In the prison of Tucani Empire. My name is Raymond."
"Lei, Lei..." Jackson couldn't pronounce the name, so he had to change his words and said: "Captain, you come back this time to prepare for a comeback. Asen, I will recruit people for you to fight again."
Raymond sat down slowly. Jackson hurriedly took a wine glass and poured it for Raymond. He also poured a glass for Corey. Although Corey covered his face, Jackson thought that since he could go with Raymond, then
He won't be a nobody either.
Raymond took a sip of wine, glanced at the three people at the door, and asked Jackson softly: "This is your man, how are his skills?"
Seeing Raymond asking this question, Jackson felt excited in his heart: "Captain, this is Scarface House. She has a short knife in each hand, and her agility skills are excellent. These are Harry and his sister, masters of makeup and swordsmanship."
Raymond looked at the three of them up and down, and slowly let out his fighting spirit.
The three of them were all shocked, and immediately understood that this was a test of their strength, and they all fought against it with all their strength.
After a while, sweat dripped down the foreheads of the three of them to varying degrees. Raymond stopped and stood up to face Corey: "What do you think?"
Corey could see the strength of the other party and laughed twice: "You decide everything."
Raymond then sat back down and said coldly: "Spread the word, I will hire all the outstanding thieves in the mainland."
Jackson looked at Corey quietly and said to Raymond in a low voice: "Captain, Asen, let me say something that shouldn't be said. The rule in the industry is that no matter what you do, you must pay half of it in advance. With your reputation, everyone is naturally willing to come forward."
I'm here to work hard for you, but this rule..."
Jackson did not dare to go on. You must know that there are at least a thousand first-class thieves in the mainland. What kind of tasks require the deployment of thousands of people at a time, and the cost of hiring these people is astronomical.
"Tell me, who is the richest in the mainland now?" Raymond said with a smile.
Jackson was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and immediately replied: "Captain, it goes without saying that Grand Duke Cory is naturally the richest. It is said that Grand Duke Cory converted a mountain into a treasure house, and even the Grand Magister can enter it."
If you don't go to the magic circle, even the royal families of the seven continental countries will not be as rich as him."
Having said this, Jackson paused for a moment, as if hesitating for something. Then he continued: "Captain, it's not that Asen is timid. Just think about who dares to take the idea of Grand Duke Corey, let alone the subordinates of Grand Duke Corey.
They are all terrifying characters, and even if the Grand Duke is a dragon knight, even if we succeed, we will not be able to enjoy it."
The three people standing at the door also looked embarrassed when they heard this.
Raymond burst out laughing, which made Jackson laugh very unnaturally. "You boy, this time you are working for Master Corey. Now you can rest assured that the commission will be fine."
"This, this." Jackson couldn't believe his ears.
Only then did Corey take off his cloak. Jackson was shocked and hurriedly knelt down to salute.
"I want all the classics and ancient scrolls from the Six Kingdoms, as many as you want. The price is up to you, but no one is allowed to know that I assigned this task." Corey said softly.
"Yes, yes, please remember." Jackson kept kowtowing. No one could tell how scary Corey was, and many people thought that Corey was a very kind person. But Jackson, who was in the underworld,
But he knew very well how terrible the consequences of going against Corey would be.
Originally, rumors believed that Corey dared to deal harshly with Walter because of his relationship with Warner.
But after the Dragon Clan appeared, almost everyone believed that even if Corey didn't have a title, didn't have so many capable men, and was just a Dragon Knight, he wouldn't have to look at anyone's face in the continent, including any emperor.
.
"How about it? Do you dare to take this mission?" Raymond asked again.
Jackson was still a little nervous and couldn't react for a moment. Scarface House took a step forward and bowed and said: "Mr. Corey, Mr. Raymond, I want to ask a question. This is to allow the villains to steal everything except Yasi."
All kingdoms, from the royal palace to the ordinary noble families."
"Well, that's right, the boy really has some talent." Raymond chuckled twice.
Scarface House was smiling, and the praise for the King of Thieves made him feel happy. He then said: "What Mr. Corey is interested in is naturally the ancient scrolls and other precious things. Ordinary nobles may collect them in their homes.
It’s not that serious, we might as well recruit good players and only act against the old nobles or the royal family. This will be more effective.”
Raymond nodded slightly: "I don't care what you do, just put down my words. If you don't follow the rules, your hands will be beheaded, and if you are serious, your head will be beheaded."
The four people in the room bowed and said they would abide by the rules.
After leaving the small hotel, Corey asked: "What is the rule? The least case is to cut off the hand, and the most serious case is to behead."
