"Oh my, this lady is really discerning. This shadow cloak is the best quality in our store. So many people want to buy it that I'm not willing to sell it yet!" The old man who owned the store smiled, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes seemed to be blooming. daisy.
"Boss, don't be impatient. Wait for us to discuss it! Damn it, I told you not to impatient!" Regnar cursed angrily. This old human man can deceive people better than the dwarf blacksmith from "Hammer of Flames". More, no matter what Vera likes, he can talk about it as if it is a magical weapon, and make Vera yell at Regnar to pay the bill.
"Oh, you are the same, little brother. I see that this lady bought so many things for you. You should be happy that all the money is spent on you!" The boss said while squirming. The shadow cloak was taken off. If I didn't kill such a fat sheep, would I be worthy of myself
"That's it, spend it on me and earn it in your pocket!" Regnar's words were harsh.
The old man was not angry either. He just smiled and kept showing the shadow cloak to Vera. He also introduced it while showing it: "The shadow cloak is made of the skin of the warcraft lizard that is proficient in disguise and stealth. It is made by a master alchemist and carefully processed. The softening treatment ensures that the fabric is soft and light, and at the same time, it well retains the amazing color-changing camouflage ability of the treacherous lizard. When worn, it can gradually blend into the environment with just a thought, making the opponent invisible! It is really A must-have artifact for tracking, infiltrating, and hiding ambushes! Miss, don’t hesitate any longer. Since you bought so many things from me, I’ll give you a cheaper price, only 45 gold coins! This is almost the cost price. If it weren’t for you I will never give this price to such a beautiful lady under any circumstances! Come on, the cheapest price, the most luxurious enjoyment, don’t hesitate any more!”
"Sister Vera, we have spent more than one hundred and twenty gold coins!" Regnar's voice was trembling.
"Ah! There are more than seventy gold coins left, buy them!" Vera seemed to have misunderstood what Regna meant.
"You are determined to spend it all!" Regnar screamed miserably.
"Oh, Kordak gave me so much just to let me spend so much. If he gives me two hundred and I spend one hundred and fifty, what do you think he will give me for the remaining fifty? Let me take it for a walk?" Vera grabbed the purse and started to take out the money.
"This, this, this..." Regnar was a little confused by Vera's novel theory.
…
"Hey, you bought a lot. This one is better equipped than me." In the evening, when Regnar returned to the hotel, Kordak said with satisfaction.
Regnar's eyes were full of gratitude: "Boss, I let you spend money this time."
"Hey! It's a small matter. Anyway, this money is the public fund of our mercenary team, and it doesn't belong to me alone. Besides, you will have to make up for it slowly when you join our team. It's no big deal!" Kordak said generously! explain.
"Huh?" Regnar didn't seem to hear clearly.
"Oh, every time we complete a task, we will save 10% of the commission for public use. This is public funds." Kordak looked like he understood Regner's tone.
"No, no!" Regnar yelled, "It's the last sentence. Do you want me to pay it back in the future?"
Kordak rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, that's two hundred gold coins. If you don't pay it back, who will pay it back?"
"Boss, what do you think about me considering quitting now?" Regnar asked tentatively.
"No problem!" Kordak smiled cheerfully and waved his hand. Regnar was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then Kordak's face tensed up and he stretched out his hands: "I'll let you go if I pay you the money!"
"Why don't I give you everything?" Regnar frowned.
"I want money, not equipment." Kordak said calmly.
"I sold it to you!" Regnar was desperate.
…
The next night, Regnar began his own test.
"In the room in the middle of the courtyard, there is a book with a dark blue cover. It is the only book in the whole room. It should not be difficult to find. All you have to do is sneak into this room and find this book. Of course, in the courtyard There are guards, you can subdue them, but you can't cause any permanent harm to them, let alone kill them, it's that simple." Kordak said to Regnar at that time.
Although Regnar had been quite nervous before, he was really not sure of passing the test without knowing the content of the test. But when Kordak announced it, Regner couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief - it was just stealing, and we dare not say anything else. The "Skillful Little Thunder" is quite capable of sneaking around!
At this time, Regnar had arrived inside the courtyard. He gently put away the hook used to climb the wall. After a day of practice, Regnar was able to use these tools very skillfully.
Regnar walked slowly along the wall, and the guards patrolling under the cover of the shadow were unaware of his actions.
…
"Do you think Xiao Lei can pass this time?" Vera took a sip of wine and her face turned slightly red.
The three Kordaks were drinking and chatting in the tavern at the moment. They were not too worried about whether Regnar would encounter any accidents - since Alex said that he would be responsible, they didn't bother to care.
"I'm tired of seeing it!" Kordak burped and said, "This time the Moon Shadow Guild has deployed a level four defense. Although there are no magicians, I see so many traps that it's enough for him to drink a pot. "
"I think he should be able to succeed." Silenos seemed to talk more after drinking some wine: "Maybe you haven't noticed, but I found that the Regnar people seem to be a little difficult to find when they are in the shadows."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Kordak cut off a piece of cooked beef, took a big bite and said with a smile, "Are you saying that this kid has a weak sense of presence at night?"
"I think you all know that there are some people who are quite special," Silenos said.
"You mean..." Kordak thought for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that's the case. No wonder the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild would put money on such a teenage boy."
"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Vera was confused.
"This is not a secret thing." Kordak smiled: "Actually, to put it bluntly, it's that kid..."
"Bang!" Regnar suddenly appeared at the wine table. He fiercely threw a book on the wine table: "Boss, you have the nerve to drink here, but you have tricked me!"
"Huh?" Kordak looked confused. He didn't expect Regnar to come back so soon. Looking at the book on the table, it seemed that it was the one he wanted to steal this time.
"Don't pretend to be innocent with me here!" Regnar had a look of disdain on his face.
"Why are you pretending to be innocent? Speak clearly before you yell!" Kordak was not too confident. He didn't know what Alex's intention was in arranging this incident.
"Okay, I'll explain it to you clearly and see if you have anything else to say!" Regnar refused.
Let's set the time back to twenty minutes ago—when Regnar successfully arrived inside the courtyard.
"These people are really stupid!" Regnar thought to himself, and he hardly encountered any big obstacles along the way.
At first, he was careful to avoid the patrolling team, but after discovering that they almost never noticed his whereabouts, Regnar gradually became bolder. He gave up looking for some secret paths to infiltrate, and actually sneaked directly along the shadows of the two trees on the road, and no one noticed him along the way!
In fact, this can be regarded as Regnar's good luck. If he really sneaked in from a place like a bush roof, it would be a lot of trouble, because there are a lot of traps waiting for him in those places, although they may not really be able to trap him. He, but is quite troublesome anyway.
Now, under the double cover of the shade of the trees and the cloak of shadow, Regnar's progress was smoother than he expected, so he couldn't help but sigh after arriving at his destination.
Regnar crouched in the shadows and observed for a long time. He found that except for the two guards guarding the door and a patrol team surrounding the house, there was no defensive force. The house has no windows and only one door around it allows people to enter.
"It seems that the defense has been relaxed here!" After repeated confirmations, Regnar picked the right moment and quickly ran to the side of the house, then threw out his hook and pulled himself up to the roof.
"I knew there must be a skylight!" Regnar couldn't help but sigh that he was lucky. The skylight on the roof was only as big as a basin, and normal adults or even fatter children couldn't get in at all. But Regna was thin and small, just big enough for him to squeeze in.
Regnar fumbled to unlock the skylight and got in. There weren't many things placed in the room. Regnar quickly found the book Kordak said.
"Done!" Regnar put the book in his arms and couldn't help but said softly.
"Congratulations then!" A middle-aged man wearing black leather armor pushed open the door and looked at Regner with a sinister smile on his face. He was clearly Alex, the planner of this test.
Regnar was startled and was about to make a move when Alex had already arrived in front of him, and a dagger glowing with magic light was already pressed against his throat.
"Be smart and don't move." Alex said coldly.
Regnar honestly held his head with both hands to show that he would not resist. Firstly, he knew how big the strength gap was between himself and the man in front of him. Secondly, Kordak had promised him that there would be no chance of any failure in this test. Any danger to life. So he decided to follow Alex's lead.
"Let's talk now." Alex put away the dagger confidently and said: "Your name, the purpose of coming here."
Regnar looked at Alex silently, with no intention of answering. Although Kordak had promised that there would be no danger in this test, there was no guarantee that there would be any accidents. Looking at the current situation, Regnar felt that he had provoked some terrible organization.
Therefore, although Regnar had already greeted Kordak's fourteenth generation ancestors in his heart, he still did not confess Kordak and others.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Alex was not surprised. He directly touched Regnar's arms, took out the book and said with some surprise: "You are actually here to steal the book?"
…
"Then what?" Kordak asked.
"Then I dealt with him for a long time and finally convinced him that I had no ill intentions towards the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. But he still wouldn't let me go. He said that he was not sure whether I had read the contents of the book or what I was talking about. We can't let people outside the guild know. In the end, he gave me two choices, either I join the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, so it won't matter even if I see it; or he will kill me right now," Regnar said.
"So what's your choice?"
"Nonsense, am I stupid? Of course I chose to join the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, and then he took out a contract, asked me to sign it, and then wrote me a letter of introduction asking me to go to Beryl Street in the next two days. Report to the miscellaneous department of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild." Regnar said, raising the envelope in his hand.
"You haven't noticed so many flaws and doubts in this matter. Who else is stupid if you're not stupid?" Kordak muttered in his heart, and then said in a daze: "Signature? You can also write?"
"I'll go, boss, where are you paying attention?" Regnar's face was full of black lines.
