The two Aili Aishan brothers had no room for resistance and could only nod in agreement.
Xu Huo also kept his promise. After knowing all the information they had, he used excavator 114 to help them dig three passages deeper, two leading to nearby residences and one leading to the city wall. If Gem City could not stay any longer,
, you can also find time to climb over the wall and run away. Anyway, the players don't know whether they are thieves or not.
Ai Li was very smart. He only took one gem so as not to attract attention. If he hadn't been discovered by the king when he ran out, maybe no one in the castle would have discovered that he had lost something. He left that footprint on purpose.
After he came back, he changed into shoes of a different size and avoided several rounds of footsteps from the guards.
However, there are also unexplainable aspects of the theft incident. According to Eli, he quietly entered the queen's bedroom while the queen was taking the maid to the rose garden. He found the studio according to what his father said, and took a gem.
I was about to leave, and when I came out, I happened to meet the king who came alone.
It means that the king also sneaked into the queen's studio.
When Xu Huo was performing before, he took the king through the studio. Judging from his behavior, he clearly knew that the queen did not like others to enter, and he rarely entered the studio.
The exchange of props between the king and the puppets was witnessed by the gem craftsmen. The king must be an insider. Those craftsmen who subsequently entered the castle and disappeared may have imitated Eli's father to explore the bottom after the death of their companions. The puppets were discovered one after another, and the useless puppets were discovered one after another.
Recycling or processing should have to go through the queen's hands. Whether the queen knows the inside story is temporarily questionable.
After once again promising not to leak the news, Xu Huo turned the corner and returned to where he was just now under the watch of Wan En and the old lady. Yan Jiayu had already returned. When he saw him, he lowered his voice and said: "Guess what I just said
Who did you see?"
"Duan Cheng and Li Kun?" They didn't know many people in Gem City.
Yan Jiayu nodded, "Those two guys found a lot of props in the empty house. They should know the location of the props in advance."
Most of the empty houses were the residences of craftsmen. After discovering the transaction between the king and the puppet man, the craftsmen later went to the castle to rummage while making jewelry for the king and maids. It was not unusual to bring out a few props. It was possible that Duan Cheng
I learned this news from other players and came here to try my luck.
"They prepared small robots and tried to carry things out of the house one by one. They were so tired when they saw them," Yan Jiayu complained.
"My gains here are not small." Xu Huo explained the cause and effect of the black gem. "Tomorrow, after sorting out the books I brought out, I will go to the castle. I should be able to clear the level after clarifying the side tasks."
Yan Jiayu has no objection.
The two returned to the castle along the same route. After dawn, Duan Cheng and Li Kun came over.
"You seem to have had a good rest." Duan Cheng looked at the two of them and said, "You can still sleep while being stared at?"
Duan Cheng and Li Kun were in Xu Huo. After Yan Jiayu left, they went out and came back before them. Therefore, Duan Cheng believed that Xu Huo did not know that they had left.
Xu Huo glanced at Li Kun with a smile and said nothing.
At this time, Duan Cheng used props to block the surveillance outside, and asked Li Kun to take out a few props, "This is what we have gained in the past two days. We are about to leave Gem City, so why not summarize our gains?
I don’t know what the situation will be like when I go to Moon City. If I encounter an emergency and are forced to leave, I can’t count the harvest this time.”
"What do you think?" Xu Huo looked at the props on the table and turned back to ask Yan Jiayu.
Yan Jiayu fiddled with the props in front of him and smiled softly: "These are just a few, not as many as I have."
As he spoke, he took out all the props he had obtained, including the veil and books he obtained yesterday.
To show their sincerity, Duan Cheng and Li Kun first abandoned the props for Yan Jiayu to inspect.
After inspecting it with a smile, Yan Jiayu said to Xu Huo: "There is only one D-level prop, and the others are all E-level props."
The veil is not a prop, and neither are books, so Yan Jiayu's situation is similar, but she exchanged her own prop for a prop of the same level during the performance. Since it is an exchange, there is an entry and an exit, so it is not necessary.
If you share the harvest equally, you will have a clear conscience if you don’t use it.
This is not the case for Duan Cheng and Li Kun. Although they don't know what level of props those craftsmen stole from the castle, it is obvious that not all of them are in front of them, and the ones that are not taken out are definitely good things.
It was stated in advance that it was an equal share. If everyone kept it secretly, it was not impossible to live in peace with each other tacitly. However, these two people obviously wanted to use a few props that no one wanted to share Xu Huo's quill equally, or to test what the quill was.
Not a good prop.
Xu Huo, who had anticipated this situation, nodded slightly and said: "The quill is a B-level prop, and the four of us can't even share it."
Seeing that he was still sincere, Duan Cheng's expression relaxed a little, "It's not that I can't trust you, a B-level prop may range from several million to tens of millions..."
"What do you mean?" Xu Huo leaned on the chair with a smile and looked at the two people opposite him calmly.
Duan Cheng was about to speak when he was interrupted by Li Kun, "Since we have chosen to cooperate, of course we all trust each other. What we got are low-level props. It is indeed unfair to share Lao Xu's B-level props equally at this time. It is better to wait.
Let’s talk about Moon City, maybe we can also find high-level props.”
"If you're really unlucky and can't find any of them, let's figure out how much the props cost in total, and just make some appropriate compensation to others. You don't have to divide the props."
Duan Cheng was a little dissatisfied with being forcibly interrupted, but Li Kun had already said what he said, so he couldn't regret it on the spot, so he could only nod.
Li Kun relaxed and pushed the veil back in front of Yan Jiayu, "There will probably be a fierce battle when we leave the city. Are we going to find something to eat?"
"We still need to go to the castle." Yan Jiayu put away his things and made up a lie, "There is no seal on the temporary official document, so double signature is safer."
This is a dispensable reason, but it really sounds like it is something like that.
Li Kun and Li Kun didn't pay any attention to it. The four of them each collected their belongings and had breakfast together before arriving outside the castle.
Xu Huo covered the king's signature on the document with a prop sticker and asked to see the king again. The guard on duty knew the document and what happened last night, so he immediately passed the news on.
Soon six guards came and took Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu in.
After entering the castle, the king did not meet them in person, but asked the guards to pass the message on their behalf. First of all, he informed them that if the temporary official document was damaged, it would be absolutely impossible for the king to write a second one.
Xu Huo handed over a photo and said, "Please ask the king if this is his lost gem."
