Soul Echo

Tuk tuk, tuk, tuk tuk, clang!

The two people who were playing cards in the room heard a knock on the door, and immediately looked at each other, watching vigilantly. After passing by, I heard the last metal knocking sound before relaxing.

One stood up and walked behind the door, pulled out the dagger, and hid it behind the palm of his hand, while the other pulled out the crossbow, pulled the string and set the arrow.

The man who walked to the door pulled the latch, opened a gap in the door panel, and only opened the door after seeing an acquaintance standing outside the door.

However, after opening all the doors, he was stunned again.

Looking dully at the tall silhouette standing behind the acquaintance, seeing the hilt of the sword protruding from his shoulders, he couldn't help being sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Jordan, who are they?" The man standing at the door pursed his lips, clenched his dagger, and moved slightly.

Before his acquaintance could explain, Zhong Ye pushed away the gang members who brought them here, "an adventurer, I want to come to you to buy some news."

Speaking, Zhong Ye glanced at the room lightly, "Also, that kind of pulling crossbow is useless to me."

Not only the thief standing in front of Zhong Ye, but even the thief standing in front of Zhong Ye. The thief in the house also felt a chill go up to the top of the head, making his body stiff.

The two thieves didn't answer, Zhong Ye looked down towards the gang member, "You can go."

The gang member was obviously relaxed, and the oppression Zhong Ye gave was really real. It is too strong, as long as he does not speak, standing there is like a mountain, and he is standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the ants on the top of the mountain.

——It goes without saying that you can give people a suffocating oppression!

The gang members who were entrusted by the inn Boss to bring them to the stronghold of the Montreux Thieves Guild turned their heads and left if they were given amnesty. Zhong Ye also took his eyes away from him and stepped forward.

The thief standing in front of him stepped back unconsciously, watching Zhong Ye lead Lillian into the house, and then closed the door.

Until this time, the two people reacted, but it was too late to stop.

The two thieves were sweating coldly on their heads, and their consciousness of resistance was churning in their minds, but their bodies couldn't lift themselves up.

But I saw that the tall adventurer took off a cloth bag from his waist and opened it.

The thief standing in front of Zhong Ye suddenly relaxed and turned back to the other thief and laughed, "It's all right."

In the cloth bag, he saw a bunch of bright gold coin - Although the three coins are mixed together, he can still see that there are not many gold coins.

The other thief obviously thought of this too and put down his crossbow.

For them, except for their lives, there is nothing that cannot be measured by money. In fact, if enough money is given, life is not impossible to sell.

"It shouldn't be only you two here, right?" Zhong Ye looked around the room, but he didn't notice anyone else.

Lilian stood behind Zhong Ye, looking curiously at the dilapidated house with the audience behind the camera.

This is not a slum. If Montreux does have a slum, then all but a few streets can be considered a slum.

The thieves don't specifically go to the poor and rundown places, they are just looking for cover. If the strongholds are built in the slums, then the nobles can find their location just by checking them casually.

The thieves' guild usually does some shady business, and sometimes touches the nobles, but at this point, they are often not taboo.

This leads to a high probability that there is a gap between the Thieves Guild and the nobles, even if they sometimes cooperate.

Everywhere the thieves' guild members will give themselves a 'normal' skin, or be merchants, or craftsmen, or even more, become artists, for other thieves and themselves thieves activities to cover.

The most common is to form a gang.

Right now this is the case with the Thieves Guild, their 'Skin' is an ordinary gang that normally makes a living by collecting protection fees, controlling some prostitutes and helping to transport contraband.

Actually, their thugs and the prostitutes they nominally control are members of the Thieves Guild.

This kind of information is secret to other people, but Zhong Ye has money, and he has enough money, so naturally some people speak.

"Of course not, this is just a stronghold for us to connect with outsiders." The thief standing in front of Zhong Ye swept away his previous vigilance, glanced at Zhong Ye with the dagger in his hand, and then backhanded Insert back into the sheath.

Another thief entered the back room, and then there was a sound in that direction, presumably something had been opened.

The noise gradually became smaller, which means that the thief probably left the room through some secret passage.

What is different from the appearance is that the sound insulation of this room is very good, and it can also produce a confusing effect. If it is not for Zhong Ye's strong perception ability, he can detect subtle differences, perhaps Would really have thought that another thief had left the house through the back door.

The thief standing in front of Zhong Ye had a smile on his face and pulled out two well-dressed chairs. Come."

When Zhong Ye and the others sat down, the thieves started chatting with them, wanting to talk to them, but neither Zhong Ye nor Lillian kept their mouths shut, Zhong Ye was fine, his face There was no change, but Lilian looked at the thief in front of her as if she were looking at a fool.

The thief didn't feel embarrassed at all. If it all felt embarrassing or angry, the guild wouldn't let him be responsible for receiving outsiders.

But after feeling the resistance of Zhong Ye and the others, the thief also closed his mouth.

——As a thief, it is not only necessary to know how to steal or fight, but they often have to learn some additional skills, such as observing words.

Zhong Ye and the others didn't wait long. After a while, a masked woman followed the thief who had left earlier and returned to the room.

She is about 1.6 to 1.63 meters tall, with an even body and a good figure. Judging from the sound of muscle and fascia activity, she should have learned combat skills, and has a good physical fitness.

Zhong Ye watched the female model walking, and instantly judged what kind of battle method she was good at and what kind of hand she was good at.

She wanted to hide her strength, but in Zhong Ye's eyes, let alone strength, even her muscles and skeleton were transparent, and she could see the weak spot on her body at a glance.

The masked woman sat opposite Zhong Ye, and before she spoke, she saw that he took out three gold coins from the purse.

"...what do you want to ask? As long as it's what happened in Montreux, there's nothing we don't know about." The woman lowered her voice as much as possible to make her voice sound softer .

"There is a businessman named Paul whose daughter is missing, you should know about this, right?"

Zhong Ye bounced three gold coins in turn, gold coin It danced in the hands, and its agility surprised the three people present.

This move shows that his strength is not weak, and it also shows that although his weapons are big swords and straight swords, they will not be weak if he uses other weapons.

—this is a warning!

There was a little resentment in women's hearts, but this feeling was quickly calmed down by the three gold coins flying up and down.

The masked woman replied softly: "This matter has spread all over Montreux, and even some rural places know it, and we naturally know it."

Zhong Ye Nodding slightly, he asked again: "So, do you know where his daughter went?"

The woman in the mask fell silent, seeing her reaction, Zhong Ye understood that she should be knew.

"...the money is too little."

Zhong Ye took out two more gold coins from the purse without thinking.

The sun shines into the room through the gap of the window, and the gold coin shines with 'magnificent' colors under the sunlight.

After another moment of silence, the masked woman said with difficulty: "'It is said', this matter may be related to the old lord..."

Zhong Ye held a palm, The five gold coins fell into his palms, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

—Things seem to have reached a closed loop here.
