The tree houses in Qianmao District have not started to use the 'latch lock' that is popular in other areas of Lorant; the humidity and the special living environment of tree houses make the wooden doors of the entire Qianmao District still use dozens of locks. The 'lock head' from years ago; no doubt, the seemingly bulky lock head has enough sense of security in the hearts of the locals in Qianmao District - and this wooden house is no exception, the same is the use of a cast iron When the owner is away, the room is safe enough; and when the owner comes back to rest, the removed lock is replaced by the 'l' or 'f' type latch in the door.
Of course, although such an 'l' or 'f' type latch is simple in manufacture and structure, its actual effect is quite large. Besides, there is basically no good way; however, for the figure outside the door at the moment, this simple latch is too simple.
'l' type latch!
The slender dagger passed through the crack of the door, and after gently and silently flicking it, the black figure outside the door was confirmed—he had dealt with no less than a hundred similar latches, and for this Holy See For the deacon in black, he can determine what kind of bolt it is just by the touch of the dagger and the bolt in his hand; as for the simplest 'l'-shaped bolt among the bolts, he can easily grasp it with his hands.
The slender dagger was firmly 'glued' to the slender part of the 'l'-shaped bolt, and then slowly supported the slender part to rotate within the bolt frame until the short and thick part of the 'l'-shaped bolt Embedded behind the groove that opened the door in the original frame. The deacon in black stopped turning, but began to use the slender dagger in his hand to slowly move the entire 'l'-shaped latch backwards - the whole process did not make any sound, even the 'l'-shaped latch When the stubby part is embedded in the original frame, the sound it makes is definitely not much higher than when a mosquito flies by.
Click!
With an inaudible sound, the slender part of the 'l'-shaped latch finally completely broke away from the original latch hole fixed on the door frame; and at this moment, the front door seemed to be freed from its restrained prey, Opens backwards—obviously, in the years of time. This door has been somewhat deformed; if it is not fixed by a latch or other things, it will be inclined to one side; this is very common for this deacon in black, and most of the doors he has opened This is always the case, so the moment the door slid back, the black-clothed deacon pulled the handle of the door.
Now is not the time to open the door!
The deacon in black straightly stretched the slender dagger towards the door again—this time his movements were more gentle. And the scope of the target is not limited to the range of the latch behind the door; it is the three exposed cracks of the front door except the side connected to the door frame.
The deacon in black is very clear. What he is going to enter now is a place where mercenaries live; although no one will praise the character of mercenaries, but the vigilance that a mercenary should have, even for the sake of his own life, all mercenaries will and so it is not uncommon, even in such temporary dwellings, to place some small mechanism as an alarm—lack of hindrance from the latch behind the door, though the door is only slightly open. But it is also enough to make the characteristic slender dagger go straight in; obviously, this kind of extremely thin blade and extremely sharp dagger is not used for fighting; although its sharpness is unquestionable, the thinness is undoubtedly Without the support of toughness, any normal fight. All are enough to make this dagger die.
However, this kind of dagger is loved by countless thieves; apart from pulling the latch behind the door, it is very simple to find some hidden things behind the door with the help of this dagger; for example: a very thin one. But a tendon rope with good tenacity is tied at one end to the iron seat that fixes the bolt behind the door, and at the other end to a fragile glass object; the tendon rope and the bolt are arranged in parallel; The latch, whoever pushes the door and enters, will definitely bump into this tendon rope with one end, and drive things such as wine bottles at the other end to fall from a height.
The night in Qianmao District is very quiet. Not to mention the clear sound of a broken wine bottle, even one or two coughs are enough to attract people's attention—the sharpness of the slender dagger has been verified once again, almost It was placed on the tendon rope, and after lightly rubbing it a few times, the tendon rope that was enough to make an adult lose the ability to move in a bound state broke like this.
As for all of this, the deacon in black put the slender dagger back into his boots with disdain, and at the same time had an extra long-mouthed oil can in his hand, facing the joint between the door and the door frame, dripping After a few drops, the black-clothed deacon slowly pushed the door in after the engine oil had completely infiltrated the connecting shaft. The black-clothed deacon, who is not a novice, knows very well that the easiest time is when he is close to success. When he failed; at the very least, he couldn't forget the piercing sound caused by the rust and friction between the door and the shaft after he successfully opened the door for the first time.
Although, that time was just a simulation of a novice and a beginner, it does not mean that the deacon in black will forget it; At the bottom, any failure in a mission would mean death; and many colleagues who had better grades than him at the beginning have now entered the Holy Spirit Temple to receive worship from countless believers, and of course, most of them have no bones left.
And he doesn't want to just enter the Temple of the Holy Spirit to accept offerings or leave no bones left; he hopes that he can be promoted and become a priest or a higher level; Any faults under him—sometimes faults are not terrible, and even a little 'cute' in the eyes of the black deacon; because, bearing these faults in mind, it proves that he is still alive; instead of retracing the steps of his colleagues in the past.
In the room, after the curtains blocked the moonlight. The moonlight imprinted on the curtains couldn't help but make the room hazy instead of bright; if possible, the black-clothed deacon would prefer a dark environment—after all, although the darkness makes people feel Fear, but darkness can protect your safety at certain times; along the hazy shadow, the deacon in black tiptoed towards the only big bed in the room.
The body covered with blankets rose and fell in an orderly manner, obviously, his target had fallen into a deep sleep; regarding this. The deacon in black expressed his joy—a sleeping enemy is always more likable than a awake enemy.
Whoosh!
The black-clothed deacon who jumped onto the bed in an instant pressed down on the other party, and then pointed at the back of the other party's neck. Normally, there is no need to bother at all. It is far safer to pierce the other party's body with a dagger stained with poison. , and this is his habit; however. Thinking of his temporary leader, the deacon in black can only violate his own habits.
Use the rope that you carry with you to quickly tie up the opponent. Then he tore off a piece of bed sheet and stuffed it into the opponent's mouth; immediately picked up the opponent and walked towards the door—as for confirming the target? He had already confirmed it the moment he stunned the opponent.
The deacon in black walked along the edge of the tree house, threw the target to the colleague who let go below, and immediately jumped out of the tree house; after gesturing with the colleague who caught the target, the two quickly Drilled into the darkness, and ran towards the outside of the market—but the two deacons in black didn't notice from the beginning to the end, there was a pair of eyes in the tree house that had been silently watching all this; and as they left. And followed behind them.
…
Ye Qi followed behind the two black-clothed deacons, and watched the two quickly notify the fence of the market without disturbing the local guards in Qianmao District. Without hesitation, he climbed over the fifteen-foot-high fence —Among most of the twelve-foot fences, this fifteen-foot fence is very conspicuous; the earth slope formed by a raised ground is the main reason why this place is higher than other places; It was because of this height that the local guards in Qianmao District relaxed a little.
compared to here. They are more habitually looking at places with dense trees or places where important people live; ' as a barrier. Most of the time it's 'safe'.
If you have a chance, you should remind Toka!
With such thoughts in his heart, Ye Qi quickened his pace—after leaving the market area, the two black-clothed deacons who were carrying people, without the worry of being discovered, immediately accelerated their pace; almost He arrived at a place ten kilometers away from the market without stopping.
This is also a dense forest, which is basically very common in the Thousand Marsh area, which is almost a swamp and surrounded by dense forests. Except for the two figures carrying people, it is almost the same as other dense forests—the person who entered the room The deacon in black walked in front, ignoring the increasingly dense trees and bushes around him, walked straight to about five yards in front of a swamp, and only knocked on the big tree beside him a few times.
boom! boom! boom!
During the continuous beating, there were two completely different sounds. The crisp sound was obviously hollow—the black-clothed deacon continued beating very rhythmically as he extended his hand to the obviously hollow place. up; and when the knocking sound just fell, it was immediately replaced by another sound.
Wow...wow...
The originally dense forest moved; amidst the continuous noises, a road for only one person appeared in front of the two black-clothed deacons; without hesitation, the two carried Ye Qi's substitute on their shoulders. Forward and backward, they walked towards the depths of the dense forest; Ye Qi also followed after the two of them walked into the dense forest. He picked up the tallest tree beside him, and relying on the height of the tree and his own eyesight, Ye Qi could clearly see where this dense forest trail would eventually lead to.
Wow...wow...
Ye Qi, who jumped from the tree, looked at the dense forest that had returned to normal again, and immediately walked to the big tree that had moved in his memory before, squatted down and stretched out his hands to dig along the roots of the big tree; when he After his hand touched a complete metal pipe whose roots shouldn't exist here, the corners of Ye Qi's mouth couldn't help but twitched—before he was sure that his blind fighting perception didn't find any fluctuations belonging to creatures or magic. But the movement of the trees in front of him actually happened in front of his eyes; Ye Qi would naturally have a little doubt about this; , then there is only one item left: mechanism technique.
And the facts undoubtedly prove the correctness of Ye Qi's guess. Although Ye Qi can't understand the principle of the mechanism, the general operation method can still be guessed-the earliest big tree that was hollowed out in a place was obviously used as a tree. The place where the signal is delivered; and as long as the correct signal is delivered, another person waiting for the signal will control the mechanism. Open this dense forest trail that has been prepared for a long time.
Very delicate!
Facing this kind of mechanism, Ye Qi gave his sincere evaluation—in fact, at the end of the dark age, mechanism technique was also considered a kind of magic used by dark wizards, and was often confused with alchemy; until Bloody At the end of the era, due to the gradual desolation of the dark wizards, the mechanism art broke away from the "magic system" and was mastered by "mortals".
Once again, he jumped onto the thick trunk of a big tree around him. After seeing the end of the dense forest path, the value of the path itself was undoubtedly reduced to the minimum; 'Enter. At the very least, this will save a lot of trouble-mechanism. It is definitely not a sacred term, and its appearance is also full of blood and the mourning of the soul, especially if the Holy See has set up a dense forest path in such a place, if there are no safety measures in it, Ye Qi will not believe what he says.
If it was a magic trap, Ye Qi would definitely not worry about it. The existence of blind fighting perception made any hidden and delicate magic trap look like a joke to him; however. Mechanisms based on pure machinery are not in this category. Ye Qi is not arrogant enough to use blind fighting perception to deal with these things that do not have fluctuations at all—although most of the time, mechanism techniques will cooperate with magic, But there are also some people who firmly believe that the independent mechanism is the most perfect; and based on his blind combat perception of the surrounding fluctuations at this moment, Ye Qi can be sure that the builder here. He is a firm supporter of the independent mechanism technique; because, in his blind fighting perception, except for his double and the original and the two additional breaths of holy light, there is no fluctuation in the entire dense forest.
In fact. Ye Qi's method of entering from the air is undoubtedly correct. With his height, Ye Qi can clearly see some of the preparations in the dense forest - pits and crossbows, such as the most common mechanical traps. There are almost five places, especially the last one, which is matched with the net bag; looking at the net bag hanging on a tall tree with a diameter of more than fifteen feet, Ye Qi did not have any malicious guesses. The mechanism maker is likely to be a hunter; at the very least, there should be excellent hunters among his ancestors.
The key point of the dense forest path is a downward cave with corners—this kind of cave is undoubtedly not formed naturally, even with the uncanny workmanship of nature, it is impossible to create the kind of corner that can just block the fire in the inner cave; With a high-level invisibility technique, Ye Qi walked straight past the two black-clothed deacons guarding the entrance, and simply entered the inner hole of the cave.
And although the two black-clothed deacons widened their eyes and were on alert, the difference in level had already determined everything, especially when there was no special talent, this gap was irreparable—in the inner hole , the black-clothed deacon who had entered the tree house and another member of the Holy See were standing in front of each other; while his substitute was awake at the moment, but the whole person was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. His hands and feet were pressed behind his back, and he was so tightly trapped that he couldn't move.
"Bastard, who are you? Let go, sir!"
Apparently remembering Ye Qi's orders, this Ye Qi's stand-in perfectly represented everything about a mercenary—after being thrown face down on the ground, he tried his best to raise his head, using his chin as a fulcrum, staring fiercely at the two The person who captured him uttered a lot of foul language, starting from the direct female relatives of the two people to the collateral, and then to the male relatives, almost without stopping; and when the words in his mouth directly developed to himself and the other female relatives When the relatives began to have a close relationship, the member of the Holy See standing in front of the black-clothed deacon ordered to the people behind him: "Slap your mouth until the words in his mouth stop!"
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
The crisp sound of slaps immediately rang out in the cave, and at first there were a few dirty words from the stand-in, but in the end, only the very rhythmic sound of slaps remained—obviously, the black-clothed The deacon obeyed his boss's words very respectfully. After Ye Qi's stand-in stopped talking, he immediately let go of the other's collar and retreated behind his boss.
Pooh!
Mixed with teeth and blood, he was spit on the ground by Ye Qi's stand-in. He turned over and looked at the other person. Although he didn't say anything again, his eyes were still rebellious—and such a gaze made people The leader of the Holy See in front of him frowned slightly, and then sneered.
"Your performance reminds me of some very annoying existence!"
