0162 Cliff Cottage

"Guan Heng!" After Shani stood firm, she quickly turned her head. In the critical moment just now, Guan Heng grabbed her arm and threw it back hard, but she fell to the bottom of the canyon!

"Wuuu... don't scare me!" Shani was so anxious that she burst into tears: "Hey, Guan Heng, where are you?"

"I'm here!" Shani heard the sound of huge wings flapping under the cliff. She leaned her head and looked at it. It turned out that Guan Heng released the fire-type golden-eyed bird in the metal cylinder at a critical moment. He grabbed a bird's claw and flew up!

Shani shouted to him, "Hey, are you okay?"

"Of course it's okay!" Guan Heng said with a smile: "And when I fell down just now, I found some interesting things!"

"Huh! Slap!" Guan Heng turned over and landed on the cliff. He said to Shani: "There is a cave directly below the cliff. It looks quite deep. I feel that there is something in it. I will go and take a look later!"

As the two of them spoke, they went to find the two golden thieves just now. They saw the two little things waiting not far away on the edge of thick fog. They seemed to be shocked than the danger just now.

One of the little beasts ran to Shani and circled around her twice, as if observing whether she was injured!

"Okay, little thing!" Shani smiled and picked it up: "I'm fine now, let's go find the people in the house in front!"

Suddenly, a gust of mountain wind blew, and the thick fog dissipated. Another golden rat led the two of them to walk forward for a hundred steps, and had already arrived in front of three simple thatched huts!

"Well, it seems that these three houses have not been repaired or lived in for a long time!" Guan Heng glanced casually and said, "It's so dilapidated!" Speaking of this, Guan Heng and Shani looked at each other, and they both felt that there was little hope that the Kent brothers would still be alive.

ww.    ?

Sure enough, the two men who had not yet walked into the house, led by two little beasts, walked around the back of the room, where there were two graves!

The second brother, the tomb of Lawn Kent... The third brother, the tomb of Galfa Kent... The elder brother of the erected monument, Franson.

These are the words carved on the tombstones in front of the two tombs.

"It seems that the first ones who died were Lawn and Galfa among the Kent brothers!" Shani looked at the marks on the tombstone and said, "They do have the same names, they are right!"

"But the boss of the Kent brothers at that time shouldn't have died yet!" Guan Heng touched his chin and analyzed, "I wonder where he was at this time?"

"Go into the house first!" Shani said to Guan Heng: "Maybe there may be any clues in the house!"

"You two little guys, come!" Shani said to a pair of golden rats: "Follow me to go to the thatched hut!"

"Squeak!" The two golden thieves nodded repeatedly, ran to the thatched hut in the middle, opened the door with their little heads, and signaled Shani and Guan Heng to go in!

The two looked at each other and walked into the thatched hut. The decoration of this room is very simple, including utensils for drinking and eating, two chairs, a wooden table, and a bamboo couch for rest.

"There is no trace of Franson in this room!" Shani shook her head and said, "It seems that this person is missing..."

Before Shani could finish speaking, a golden rat suddenly stood up, and it gently grabbed Shani's corner with its mouth.

"What are you doing?" Shani was confused at first, then suddenly realized: "Are you going to let me walk into the room?"

Shani waved at Guan Heng, and the two of them came to the end of the room with the golden rat. On the wall, there were sloppy charcoal strokes hanging. On the picture, four men with similar looks were smiling and clinking glasses at the dining table!

"This seems to be a portrait of the Kent brothers! And it is the work of the third brother Galfa!"

After seeing the painting, Shani murmured to herself: "Because the older people in the Thieves Guild know that among the Kent brothers, Galfa, is not only a skilled thief, but also a very famous painter. His main targets of stealing are works of art from various countries!"

"But aren't they three brothers?" Guan Heng said with some confusion: "Why are there four people with similar appearances on the painting?"

"I don't know..." Shani just answered these three words. The golden thief beside her suddenly rose several feet high. She used her claws to put the charcoal strokes on the wall, squeaking!

"Hey, this little guy seems to be hinting at something. I'll take off the painting first!" As he said that, Guan Heng stretched out his hand and took off the work. The wall behind the charcoal strokes was indeed a bit strange. There was a small door on it!

"Huh? This is a mark that only members of our thieves guild know!" After carefully identifying it, Shani reached out to touch the mark on the secret door, and then said to Guan Heng: "There are five different types of mechanism locks on it, all of which can only be opened by experienced thieves. If you use external force to open the secret door, the things inside will be destroyed by the small mechanism set up in advance!"

"Are you sure to open it?" Guan Heng asked softly.

"Try it, because I have opened the secret door of at most three mechanical locks before!" Shani said with a serious expression: "Opening these locks is a huge challenge for me. If I can unlock the five mechanical locks in one go, my stealing skills will be significantly improved, which is of great benefit to me!"

"Guan Heng, I need absolute peace now!" Squinted my eyes and looked at the secret door, Shani continued, "This way I can study these mechanisms without any influence. Please wait outside the house now, and don't let these two little guys disturb me!"

"Zhizhi--" The two golden thieves seemed to understand after hearing Shanni's words. Their four front paws suddenly digged up the soil on the spot, dust spread everywhere, and the pit became deeper. In a few seconds, the golden thieves pulled out a small iron box from the hole and pushed it in front of Shanni.

"Click, swish!" Shani opened the box and found that there was a complete set of special tools for thieves: small saws, small pliers, small tweezers, small scissors, as well as drill bits of various thicknesses and lengths, adzes, etc.

"Haha, are these for me?" Shani smiled and touched the heads of the two little beasts: "It seems that these are things left by the Kent brothers, so I, a junior fellow, will accept them without hesitation!"

The two golden thieves knew what Shani was going to do next. They suddenly turned around and ran out of the room. Because the little beasts knew in their hearts that Shani needed absolute quiet at this moment, so they did not intend to pester and disturb her here.

"Xiani, then I want to go out and have a walk!" Guan Heng said: "I will let the six-eyed scorpion and the golden-eyed croaker guard the door, and they will protect your safety!"
