Blowing darts have very short arrow tips, similar to sewing needles, and are not very powerful. They have almost no direct lethality. At most, they can only break the skin. Its greatest power comes from the anesthesia snake venom on the arrow tip.
Naturally, the three of Link were hit immediately, each of them was shot in the neck with an arrow, and then fell to the ground in a 'drowsy' state.
After more than ten seconds, three guys in gray-black leather armor came out from the bushes. The one who walked in the front was holding a metal crossbow in his hand. Gram directions should be used just in case.
"Come on, unload their weapons!" The man waved to the two people around him, and the crossbow in his hand was still pointing at the three of Link.
Two thieves ran up quickly and searched the three of Link's belongings. They found three daggers, an ordinary steel sword, a hand crossbow, and some valuable small items such as silver rings and jade necklaces. stuff.
"Head, that's all." A thief said.
The leading thief tilted his head to look at the things on the ground, looked up and down the ground and stunned the three of them, with a smile on his face: "You are very young and have a strong body, it can be regarded as a soldier's business, and this ticket is profitable. Go, search their immediate bags."
"Okay." The two thieves responded, and happily ran to the side of the horse, untied their bags and began to check. The three of them looked like merchants, and they must have a lot of good things in their bags.
While checking, a thief suddenly yelled 'ah', the leader of the thief trembled, and almost shot the crossbow arrow in his hand, he was surprised and asked urgently: "What's going on?"
"Head, look, look, there are good things!"
The skinny thief turned around, holding a statue of a war horse with both hands, no, half of it to be precise, the second half of the statue of a war horse was chopped off, the fracture was smooth, it looked like it was cut with a sharp weapon.
What is attractive is the material of this war horse statue, which is translucent and exudes a crystal-clear and warm light all over the body, making people look at it, and involuntarily want to hold this war horse tightly in the palm of their hand, and gently stroke it, it will never loosen for a lifetime open.
Seeing the half of the war horse statue, the three thieves stared straight, gulped, and then just stared blankly, as if they were stupid.
How could there be such a beautiful gadget in this world? This is definitely a priceless treasure.
Five or six minutes later, the little thief leader rushed forward, took the bag on the horse, wrapped the statue up, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
"This thing must be very valuable, it is definitely a priceless treasure!" A thief muttered, staring blankly at the package. Although he could no longer see the gemstone statue, he could see the package, which made him feel at ease.
"Head, what should I do with this thing?" Another thief asked, his eyes flashing with an unknown light.
The little leader of the thieves is most familiar with this kind of light. Usually, if they get something valuable by accident, they will sneak it out and exchange it for money, and then the three brothers will squander it together.
If they can sell this gemstone statue, it is estimated that they will have no worries about eating, drinking and having fun in this life.
But this time, the little leader of the thieves did not respond. He kept silent. Deep in his heart, he certainly wanted to take this gem away, but there was another voice telling him that this thing is too valuable and too hot to touch. , they probably lost their lives.
Whether life is more important or money is more important... Anyone with a little sense knows how to choose.
After struggling for a quarter of an hour, the little thief leader gritted his teeth and said, "We can't eat this food, because we are afraid that we will lose our lives in the end. If we hand it over, the leader will definitely reward us heavily."
Although the two thieves were unwilling, they shivered subconsciously when they thought of the cruel punishment methods in Syndicate.
"Head, we listen to you."
As soon as he made a decision, the little leader of the thieves became more active. He said: "These three people have to be brought back to the commander. The statue is only half, and they must know the clues to the other half."
"Head, what you said is right."
The three thieves did what they said, and put the three people who were unconscious on the ground on the back of the horse, tied them tightly, and then saw that there was still some broth in the iron pot, so they sat down and drank the broth, and then led the horses. , Walked into the depths of the woods along the path next to the road.
Walking in the woods, the trees first became denser and denser. After walking for about ten kilometers, the trees began to become thinner. A river valley appeared in front of us. From a distance, we could see a castle in the valley. .
This is exactly a stronghold of the Syndicate here.
The three thieves led the horse and walked towards the castle. When they reached the gate of the valley, the bushes on the side of the road moved slightly. A young man in black leather armor with a strong figure came out. He looked at the unconscious Link on the horse. The man frowned and said, "Why did you bring outsiders in?"
Only the syndicate thieves knew about this secret stronghold. The slaves usually harvested were resold outside, and they would never be brought into the stronghold, because this would expose the stronghold, and the syndicate did not like to expose themselves to the sun.
The little leader of the thieves nodded and bowed: "Yam, we got something really good this time, and we have to hand it over to the leader."
"Huh? A good thing?" The thief's eyes showed disdain. These three guys have no great skills, and their fighting spirit is only level 2. They only capture those businessmen who are alone as slaves. What good things can they get
The little leader of the thieves picked up his bag and walked over, opened it a little, revealing the gemstone statue inside.
"Hiss~" After only one glance, the thief Yamu took a deep breath, and when he looked at the little leader again, his gaze changed: "It's really a good thing, I'll take you to see the commander!"
He has never seen such a gemstone before, but he can feel the power aura emanating from this gemstone, and its appearance is also extremely extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary, the commander will definitely like it.
He turned around to lead the way, and said as he walked: "You three guys are really lucky to bump into such a good product. This time, you will definitely get a lot of rewards."
"Hey, Brother Yamu, I will never forget your share." The little head smiled apologetically, there was nothing he could do. In this stronghold, his strength and status were inferior to this Yamu, so he had to bow his head.
"Then you really have a heart, haha." Yam was very happy.
A group of people led the horses into the castle wall, and there was a courtyard inside. Here, the three of Link, who was still unconscious on horseback, were unloaded and taken to the underground cell. The thief Yam continued to walk in with the three thieves. up the castle hall.
The hall is very spacious. On the front is a huge statue. On the statue is a middle-aged man with a strong figure. His face is covered, and a dagger is inserted on the outside of each leg. The whole statue is generally hidden in the shadows, and the body details are very detailed. Fine, from a distance, it seems that there is really a thief hiding in the darkness, and will jump out at any time.
This statue is Morpheus the shadow walker.
In front of the statue, a figure with a black aura lingering all over his body and whose face could not be seen clearly stood in the shadows. His eyes faintly emitted a faint red light. When he stared at the four people who entered the hall, the four people suddenly Feeling that he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, Qi Qi shivered.
"What good news did you bring me?" The man spoke, his voice was very hoarse, and when it echoed in the hall, it was as if there was a poisonous snake whispering in his ears, making the hair stand on end.
"Commander, the three of them caught three merchants and got this by accident." Yam took the bag, stepped forward, and handed it up respectfully.
The commander took the bag, opened it, and felt a sudden light in front of his eyes, which made the dark hall much brighter, as if a star had fallen from the mortal world.
"This statue... this gemstone... turned out to be a star stone!" The commander couldn't help but exclaimed, his breathing became short of breath, he knew the goods!
star stone.
Level 16 Astral Meteorite.
Description: The appearance is as bright as a star. After mixing it with pure gold, the weapon created is invisible, will not leak a little breath, and has a nearly perfect magic-breaking attribute. It is the first choice for assassin weapons.
(Note: There is only one star in the world, and the rest will surely perish.)
While admiring it, the leader suddenly asked, "Why is there only half a dollar? What about the other half?"
Such a priceless treasure is never too much, as long as there is a chance to get more, he will not miss it, and will do his best to grab it!
Judging from the fracture of the statue, it was chopped off with a knife. Judging from the appearance of the fracture, it is still very fresh. It should have been broken recently. As long as there are clues, the other half can definitely be found.
Yam hurriedly replied, "I found this gem from the merchant's luggage. When I found it, it was only half a piece. Commander, do you want to bring them here?"
Before the leader could answer, he suddenly heard a soft "嗡~" from behind him.
When everyone looked at it, they saw the eyes on the statue of Morpheus suddenly lit up, showing a dazzling blood light, and at the same time, endless coercion came down.
The four thieves in the hall immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.
Morpheus monitors the mental state of his senior believers. Once there is a violent fluctuation, he can perceive it immediately. Now that the commander is suddenly ecstatic, his attention is projected through the statue to see what happened thing.
As a result, he saw the Star Stone.
Recently, Morpheus always felt that something was wrong, and he had a faint sense of crisis. In order to protect himself, he has been building powerful weapons for himself, but unfortunately, there are too few good materials at hand, so he has not been able to do so.
The appearance of the Star Stone, as if a traveler in the desert saw an oasis, immediately excited Morpheus.
With the star stone, he can definitely create a top-level holy weapon for half of the thieves!
A voice sounded in the minds of all the thieves at the scene: "Bring this star stone and those three mortals to me, and I will interrogate them myself! Be quick! Send them here immediately!"
The commander was taken aback, he hurriedly said: "Yes, my master, I will do it right away!"
