Obviously, bringing Adela to come to Toyala to discuss matters was a complete failure~
Liu Yifei never expected that Adela would eventually have such a direct conflict with Toyala because of her arrogance...
But to make matters worse, the issue of the existence of cultists in the underground waterways has obviously been noticed by "the superiors". Even Adela and a group of promising third-phase graduates of the Guards have been ordered to take action. This situation is definitely
Nor will she give up on the solution in front of her just because of Adela's personal mood problems.
After discussing with his boss for a while, Liu Yifei finally got the other party's tacit approval, and planned to go back alone to try again... Although Toyala had just been beaten a moment ago, Liu Yifei could only believe that the other party would
For the sake of a small amount of money, please forgive Party A’s father for his willful behavior...
Adela bid farewell to the silent Adela, and Liu Yifei, who walked back into the sewer, also complained silently~
I basically spent the whole night crawling around in this dark sewer with the boss. In addition to watching a free ravage, Liu Yifei even didn't even bring his own "path exploration army" to avoid suspicion.
It was included in the plot just to prevent something bad happening after a head-on collision with Adela.
If you are so careful and still fail to make things happen at the pace you are used to...
Then Liu Yifei could only sigh that it was impossible to do anything~
After quickly returning to the place where Adela beat Toyala before, several members of the Brotherhood of Thieves had already disappeared, except for some small damage caused by Adela's "emergency".
Outside, it was as quiet as it had been for countless years.
There was no way, so Liu Yifei could only continue to search forward with the flickering torch... Speaking of which, without the support of his teammates, even the lighting problem had to be solved by Liu Yifei himself. He was used to the stability provided by spells.
After the lighting effect, it is now more and more uncomfortable to use a torch...
However, he hadn't gone much further when Liu Yifei, who was always vigilant, suddenly heard the muffled sound of a crossbow string in his ears!
[What the hell? These thieves are crazy?!]
Liu Yifei subconsciously thought that he had been attacked by a sneak attack. Even though he thought it might be too late, he still instinctively lowered his body and held up his shield. He immediately jumped forward diagonally!!
only……
"Humph~ After working on it for a long time, it turns out that he is just a guy who is afraid of death, and the people above don't seem to be anything special~"
The terrifying feeling of being hit by a powerful crossbow did not appear. Instead, a low and sarcastic voice sounded in the darkness ahead.
Liu Yifei, who flew out and fell to the ground, didn't feel too angry at all. After confirming that the other party was just trying to scare him, he could only silently choose to take the blame for his boss except for a bitter smile.
, the other party is retaliating for Adela's previous cruelty to Toyala...
After slowly standing up with his hands raised, Liu Yifei said loudly toward the dark corridor that was once again silent: "Are you a friend of the Brotherhood of Thieves? My boss was reckless before. Of course, I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness, but my opinions are my own.
Opinions, we can still discuss business~ Or maybe we can apologize a little more on the price?"
And almost at the same time Liu Yifei finished speaking, a cold and sharp short blade was already placed on his neck from behind.
"Kid~ Do you think that you can easily get rid of the 'sharp blade' that has offended our brotherhood of thieves by just taking out some money?"
[Hey~ I feel bad about having a low level. My perception of the stealth profession is so weak...]
Liu Yifei secretly despised his "powerlessness" in his heart, but he said calmly: "I think since we are all neighbors hanging out in the sewers, no matter how we talk, we shouldn't be like those 'big shots' above us who like to beat around the bush.
Right?
Then I will say it directly~
Your Lord 'Sharp Blade' knows my identity very well, and I can guarantee it with my life and reputation. The person who came earlier is a big shot who is not even as good as me!
And even she is just a pawn running errands in this matter. I can't even guess which adult is giving orders above her head... But one thing that is certain is that they are all
We...yes, including me, we fellow sufferers living in the sewers are existences that we cannot afford to offend.
But now, those big shots are concerned about how to deal with those cultists~
Anyway, the big shots have already made up their minds. Alternatively, you can kill me if you don't like me, and then wait for your brotherhood of thieves to be classified by the superiors as being within the attack range of those cultists, waiting to suffer all the consequences.
Destroyed payment.
Otherwise, can we put down all those dangerous things, and then discuss how to control things at our own pace so that we can deal with it?
Of course, as a little pawn, I also deeply apologize for my boss's previous rudeness, so within the scope of my ability, I am also willing to try my best to get some compensation for your 'sharp blade'.
And this is all my sincerity~"
In fact, despite what Liu Yifei said about being aboveboard, in fact he didn't believe that the people from the Brotherhood of Thieves dared to do anything to him - because first of all, he was 100% sure that Toyala was behind the Brotherhood of Thieves.
The real leader may hate Erathia in his heart, but he will never be a true "cultist".
Because one thing that is indelible is that in the future, the current thief leader will transform and become a cornerstone of the Kingdom's revival army, contributing his ardent efforts to Her Majesty Queen Catherine's ascension to the throne...
And a person who is really willing to devote himself to evil beliefs will definitely not go to that extent~
After all, the smoke filled with smoke after the collapse of Erathia is what those guys who do all kinds of evil really like and pursue...
As long as Toyala's fundamental position is determined, Liu Yifei is sure that the people in the Brotherhood of Thieves will not dare to do anything to him now!
After all, he had separated from his "boss" just a moment ago. If Liu Yifei disappeared or even died now, the Brotherhood of Thieves would really be destroyed~
"Kid~ You seem to be very eloquent? I wonder if I pull out your teeth one by one, or cut off your tongue, will you still be as eloquent as you are now?"
"..."
"Please~ Can we save this boring intimidation process? I'm still hoping to finish the work early so I can go back to sleep~
Brother, although I don't mind letting you put the knife on my neck to give you a slight sense of security, it doesn't mean that I like it, okay?
Now!
Either you take me to see Toyala immediately and let me complete the negotiations that should have been completed before, or else I will simply go back and say that Toyala was knocked unconscious. There is no one in the Brotherhood of Thieves who can make the decision for the time being. You
What do you think?"
"..."
This time, the thief behind was finally speechless~
Obviously, Liu Yifei's calmness was really not an act. It was as if this tall and strong guy really ignored the sharp edge of his vital parts. Even the thief behind him could get closer, wanting to put more pressure on him.
The blades of the sword were completely ignored.
"Then you'd better be honest and stop making any impulsive moves..."
Finally struggling to leave a warning, the pretending blade was finally withdrawn, and even the skinny thief walked back to Liu Yifei...
Of course, the opponent's physique is definitely not as strong as Liu Yifei, who is becoming more and more similar to a bear. The opponent's "holding" action in the bar is probably performed with highly sensitive and coordinated control. It is really true to say that
It's hard for him...
Under the guidance of this thief, Liu Yifei stepped into the actual control area of the Brotherhood of Thieves branch for the first time!
Speaking of which, he has led a reconnaissance force composed of veterans to roam the underground world for more than a day or two. It is a pity that he faced the real "thieves" in the game, especially since the character attributes of the veterans are far inferior to their opponents.
At this moment, they really have no good way to deal with these wanderers in the dark~
Every time, whether intentionally or unintentionally, as long as the veteran's investigation direction is slightly closer to the area controlled by thieves, thieves will immediately come out to chase them away, so that getting along with these "neighbors" can be considered a good experience.
It's been a while, but Liu Yifei didn't know the actual situation inside Laos.
Lifting the torch as high as possible in an attempt to illuminate more of the surrounding space, Liu Yifei did not forget to turn on the camera function to record the surrounding environment along the way.
After the leader led them around for a long time, the two of them entered a relatively huge underground space - here, Liu Yifei even saw a few rooms that were roughly divided with various wooden boards and stones.
The "room", presumably, is also the base camp of the thieves~
At this moment, right next to a fire in the center of this underground space, Toyala was applying medicine there with a grin on his face. Obviously, compared to the toughness of his mouth before, Adela's two slaps still gave him enough.
You're in trouble - you don't have enough brains to lose your temper and scold a humanoid female tyrannosaurus? If you don't call it seeking death, what does it mean?
When he came to Toyala, Liu Yifei sat down and warmed himself up by the fire. He didn't even care whether the ground was clean or not, and said directly to Toyala: "The one before me has always been the focus of training in the camp.
The eldest lady has a higher status than me~
Her philosophy is definitely purer, and she cannot understand yours, so if there is any offense, I can only hope that you will bear with it~ Anyway, to be honest, I guess it is unlikely that you want to seek revenge from the other party, and it is difficult for you.
I definitely can't vent my anger...
So, how about we continue to discuss cooperation? In terms of money, I will try my best to get you more comfort and compensation!"
"Hiss... ha~ According to what you said, I don't seem to have any good means of revenge... Then let's hear how much 'comfort' you can bring to me~"
No matter how good-tempered Toyala is, it is impossible for him to still make people smile after just being beaten, not to mention that this actual "bandit leader" is not a good-tempered person?
He glanced at Liu Yifei rather sinisterly, and motioned to others to continue applying medicine and bandage on him, but he finally did not wave his hand and ordered the countless thieves around him to swarm~
Seeing that the other party was still willing to continue the conversation, Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly told him the solution he had thought of beforehand:
In fact, it is extremely difficult to catch the "cultists" who have gathered in the sewers at unknown times, where, and how many there are, especially those from the Brotherhood of Thieves who have made it clear that they will not do this easily.
To provide help, all Liu Yifei can think of is to "lead the other party into action"~
With the blessing of a large amount of prerequisite knowledge in his mind, Liu Yifei felt that finding a suitable place in the underground world and proactively creating some magical phenomena similar to "devil whispers" would be the best bait!
After all, both Liu Yifei and Adela have basically confirmed that the main force of the enemy this time is the most powerful "Sheep Worshiping Cult" among the cultists.
Once these crazy people who worship demons crazily and are keen on blood sacrifices, destruction, and burning know that there is a situation around their area of activity where they can definitely contact demons, they will inevitably try to contact them like moths to a flame, even if they do not.
Even if you know it's a trap, you won't hesitate!
Of course, in order to draw out the real leader behind these crazy guys, Liu Yifei will try his best to make this "trap" as realistic as possible~
There are only three things that thieves need to do in this process:
First, they remain neutral and do not disclose any information about the whereabouts of the cultists to the kingdom, but at the same time, they cannot disclose their movements to the other party. Otherwise, it will be a complete act of treason.
The only thing they came to "discuss" with Toyala and the others was the swords of the Kingdom's army;
Second, the thieves must be responsible for letting the cultists know the information about the "trap" prepared by Liu Yifei for them as reasonably as possible, without making the other party suspicious;
Third, in the process of setting up traps, Toyala and the others will send elite soldiers to follow them and assist in clearing away all the man-made traces caused by Liu Yifei and the others...
"...How about it? The above points are not very difficult for you, right?
If you agree, then we can discuss the employment price next~
After all, you just said so adamantly that the reason for concealing information about the cultists was because of money. Since you can choose to turn a blind eye to the existence of those guys for the sake of money, then you must do us a little favor, and the gold coins will be enough to soothe all the injustices in your heart.
