After Ellen left, Lena walked out of the house and was surprised to see the pile of books."You bought these?"
"Well, not bad." Tang En raised his head and said with a smile, "How about it? Do you feel like you are surrounded by knowledge?"
p>"There is a siege, but..." Lina picked up a book and said, "This is pharmacy. Although it is related to doctors, it generally belongs to the category of Alchemy. There is also this book. "Effect of Healing Minor Injuries", it belongs to the category of magic, and is something of the Light God Temple..."
"..."
Of course, I can't blame Ellen for this, only It is said that Tang En has no concept of the otherworldly doctor. What he was talking about at the time was about medical books, with such a broad coverage, and these books were sold by the pound, so Allen naturally bought everything that came along.
"But that's fine. Accumulate more knowledge and prepare for my promotion to a doctor in the future."
"That's good, that's good!" Tang En touched embarrassedly touch the nose.
It doesn't matter if you have potted plants or the like, but books can't be piled up in the backyard.
Tang En's second layer small building does not have a study room. After discussion, the two finally decided to move the books to the hall first, and then took the time to buy a bookshelf. Lina picked out some small potted plants and put them in their respective houses.
"It's really different to have a girl." After a while, the original monotonous room suddenly became much brighter. Tang En, who has a sensitive sense of smell, always felt a faint fragrance lingering on his nose. It felt like home...
Everything was tidy up, Tang En went back to the upstairs room and started tidying up the dagger and other things.
The letter spread on the table, a line of small words jumped on it,
"Mr. Assassin, please arrive at the end of Stone Road Lane in the West City District at six o'clock tonight."
The content is simple and the language is polite. Except for the lack of signature and the special identity of the guest, this letter is like an invitation letter to invite friends to be a guest.
Tang En left the key on the table, and after thinking about it, he left the coin on him with a house deed.
The initial turbulence in my heart has subsided, this "invitation" Tang En is must go. The other party asked Allen to deliver the letter, clearly expressing that he already knew him very well. In order to find Ghost Face this System Quest, Tang En is bound to stay in Black Rock City for a month, he can let this unsafe factor that will explode at any time aside.
Besides, Tang En also wants to know, who is the other party? What is the purpose? How did you find out who he was?
…………
The location of Shilu Lane in the West City District is not too remote, and there are many residential buildings at the entrance. However, this alley is too deep, so the place behind is deserted, and many houses are abandoned.
The largest abandoned house is the one at the end of the alley. If you ask the old man living here, he will tell you that it used to be a very prosperous aristocratic family residence. However, due to some changes, the family fell quickly, and later the whole family moved out of here. This house was also put on consignment from the City Affairs Office, but because the price was too high, few people cared about it.
But tonight, the front hall of this deserted house is dimly lit, and there are dozens of people sitting quietly in different positions, as if waiting for something.
These dozens of people have different costumes, some with black clothed masks, some with leather armor sets... From time to time, some people take out daggers, put them in their palms and move flexibly between their fingers, cold glow Dazzling, dazzling.
Tang En is sitting in the corner on the left side of the hall at this time, but his current image is quite obscene, the image of a dwarf man who is less than four feet tall. Needless to say, this is, of course, the work of the osteotomy.
Tang En is confused now. When he first came here, he thought it was an ambush when he saw so many people. Unexpectedly, people just glanced at him and ignored him. When he carefully observed the people around him, he found that all of them were Thief, and they were not weak Thief.
What the hell is going on...
Tang En expression changed, and everyone in the hall turned their attention to the door.
Soon, there was the sound of trivial footsteps. The door was pushed open, and a group of black armored guards armed to the teeth walked in, surrounded by a grey clothes person with a black scarf on his face.
With such momentum, needless to say, the righteous Lord these people are waiting for is here.
The grey clothes person took two steps forward, arched his hands and said, "Welcome, Advanced Thief of Black Rock City!" His voice was hoarse, as if his throat was being pinched. The people in the hall were all experts, so they naturally knew that this person was speaking in falsetto.
At this time, in the back corner of the hall, a man wearing leather armor with an indifferent face stood up and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you are the client?"
"Yes It's down."
"Okay. Quest, request, time!"
"Haha, cool. Then I'm not being polite, my Quest is stealing something. But in Before that, you need to be tested, because I only need five Peak Thiefs."
"What test?"
grey clothes person right hand turns, take out a brown wooden Box said: "In this house, there are five such wooden boxes. Whoever gets it will be eligible to take the Quest. Of course, we have also arranged some mechanisms. You are all experts, and it will not be difficult for you to come. "
Quest? test? After some conversation, Tang En was completely dizzy, how could I not understand at all...
Tang En thought about various scenes before coming, such as ambush, threats, etc., but Now the result is far more nonsensical than he imagined, and Tang En now seriously doubts whether he has gone the wrong way.
In a trance, dozens of Thiefs around him have all disappeared, apparently all looking for the wooden box.
"Is it your letter?" If you don't understand, just ask.
"A letter? What letter?", the grey clothes person said in surprise.
Fuck …played? Could it be that Alan was joking with himself? impossible, obviously abnormal here, Alan Impossible knows this.
"Mr. Thief, don't you try it?" the grey clothes person asked Tang En when he saw that Tang En had been standing still.
Tang En's heart suddenly moved. Could it be that the mysterious person who wrote the letter wanted to participate in this Quest?
"What's the content of this Quest?"
"Sorry, this will wait until you get the wooden box."
Tang En nominates, no matter what In this way, now that the identity is in the hands of the mysterious person, as long as he still wants to stay in Black Rock City, he has no choice.
Thinking of this, Tang En turned towards the grey clothes person cupped the hands and exited the front hall.
Tang En had already roughly observed this house when he came, and many houses were built on top of each other. It is undoubtedly not easy to find a palm-size wooden box here. And if the wooden box is placed in a hidden compartment, it will be even more of a needle in a haystack.
Tang En is an Assassin, and according to this world, it is an Assassin.
In Other World, the distinction between Assassin and Thief is not particularly clear, because the boundaries between the two are too good to cross. In general, Thief contains Assassin, and Assassin is a Thief to the extreme! So Other World only has Thief Guild, but not Assassin Guild.
The so-called everyone has their own field of specialisation. If it is murder, it is Assassin's specialty. But if you're sneaking through Lock-Picking to find something, that's definitely Thief's forte. Of course, this doesn't mean that Thief doesn't kill people. You must know that Thief, who acts as a scout in some mercenary teams in the wild, is also the master of excellent skills, killing without blinking an eye.
Tang En recently added a lot of information on everything in disorder to the system, but it is far from the level of forming a system. He doesn't know anything about mechanism traps, treasure hunt Lock-Picking ability. As things stand, unless Luck That Goes Against Heaven's Will, finding a wooden box is probably impossible.
After thinking on the spot for a while, Tang En made up his mind.
Since it's Assassin, of course it's done according to Assassin's style...
