Chapter 68: Thief

Under Watsk's greet, Li Nuo embarrassedly walked out of the Black Crow Bar.
After 　　 waited for the tavern door to close, the sound of the system suddenly appeared.
　　【The branch mission has been triggered】
　　 [Gwent Adventure, get a set of Gwent cards]
　　【Experience: 1000】
　　[Reward: Random]
　　 Li Nuo let out a sigh, it's another branch line...
　　 There are too many things to do this time.
　　 A spur line with a very unfriendly process length, Jack's bear kid didn't know how he was going, whether he achieved physical fitness under the spur of the slave merchant.
It is not easy to get a set of Gwent cards in five days. There should be a few grocery stores selling a few Gwent cards, but they are relatively tight and it is difficult to get a set quickly. I can't think of anything other than smashing and looting. Get a set out in five days.
　　 Looking at this side mission, Li Nuo sighed again.
　　 "And the reward is still random..."
　　 Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered one thing. The branch line of grass decoction that was done before has a random card that he hasn't used.
　　 Li Nuo turned out that random card and wasted 100 gold coins to choose a draw.
　　 Six flying knives appeared in his inventory.
　　 [Name: Poison Flying Knife]
　　【Type: Consumables】
　　 [Effect: 100% poisoning of humanoid creatures, if it is a large creature, use more shots to win]
　　 [Description: The poisonous knife of justice]
　　 "This is not allowing me to be a good person."
Li Nuo grinned bitterly, and put his hand in his pocket and touched four bullets. The bullets cannot be put in the backpack alone. They need to be put in the magazine. Since he is in broad daylight, it is a bit inelegant to draw a gun. .
　　 As he walked towards the haunted house, he began to ponder what he was going to do next.
　　According to Watsk, it is absolutely impossible to have no money in Novigrad, not only how to survive, but also the way to go to Corville, so earning money is a thing to do.
　　 On the other hand, I asked about the trace of the master of mirror. Li Nuo was about to go to the library. The location had been seen on the way.
　　 "It's really a dilemma to make money or study first..."
Snapped……
　　 Li Nuo was hit from behind. When he noticed, a kid about the age of Jack had already ran over.
"sorry sir!"
　　 The child left a sentence and ran away staggeringly.
　　 This scene is very familiar... Li Nuo turned over his pockets thinking about it.
　　 As expected, the four bullets were gone.
　　 There was a chaotic sound of footsteps behind him, and a hand was placed on Li Nuo's shoulder.
　　 "Hey! Have you seen a child running past!"
　　 Li Nuo saw four men in clean suits behind him, three lean with hats, one bald and strong head.
　　 "I want to ask you something!"
　　 Li Nuo quickly scanned the surroundings, in the middle of the fork, the broken wall, the ground with stinky water, two beggars who were unconscious on the ground, and then only himself was left.
　　 So these four guys who are out of place here, I am afraid that the kid had stolen something, Li Nuo thought.
　　 "Dumb, you!" Pushing Li Nuo away, Li Nuo also sat down on the ground symbolically, pointing in the direction the child was running away.
　　 "It seems to be running there."
　　 "Go!" The leader yelled, then looked back at Li Nuo, threatening: "If you lie to us, then you think about the consequences."
　　 Watching these second-rate men run away, Li Nuo followed.
　　 He must not save the bear child, nor is it only to get the bullet back, everything has another purpose.
　　 Followed to a very narrow alley, following the shouts, Li Nuo saw the four men blocking the children.
　　 He leaned his back against the wall at the entrance of the alley, while there was no one around, set the [Emir's Mask] to visible mode, took off the windbreaker and put it into the backpack.
　　 A man pulled the child by the hair and hit him against the wall.
　　 "Damn! Let's find it, you kid."
　　 The man smiled and picked up a bumpy stone on the ground.
　　 "Boy, returning things to us will make you suffer less."
　　 The child shrank by the wall and took out a few copper plates from his pocket, "Please let my husband go...I just want to bring some food for the family."
　　 The man grabbed the copper plate, glanced at it, and smiled: "Huh~ a wad of banknotes is missing."
　　 The child widened his eyes in panic, and immediately said: "Impossible, you only have these things!"
　　 The man kicked the child on the face, "Let us run for so long, so why don't we have to make up some money, or use you to exercise."
　　 After that, the man put the stone at the child's head.
　　 "You still want to exercise even after running so tired."
　　 Li Nuo's voice appeared from behind them.
　　 All four of them turned their heads and saw a thin man with a stick and a strange mask standing behind him.
　　 "Who the are you?" one of the men yelled.
　　 Li Nuo ignored him, turned to look at the child curled up in the corner, and said in an indifferent and relaxed tone: "Little devil, remember that you have to promise me a condition for a while."
　　 The five people present, including the children, looked at Li Nuo in a daze, and then the four men began to laugh.
　　 "Hahaha! People with sick brains, there are really interesting people in Xiacheng."
　　As soon as he finished speaking, one of the men took a knife out of his arms and rushed towards Li Nuo.
　　 "Go to hell, nosy..."
　　 Before he finished speaking, Li Nuo swept his head with a whip leg and kicked him unconscious.
　　 Everyone looked at Li Nuo in surprise, and the three men took out their knives from their arms.
　　 Facing this scene, Li Nuo smiled slightly on his face under the mask, "Let's get it together, I'm in a hurry."
　　 Accompanied by the cry of um, ah, the child witnessed how the three men holding the murder weapon were simply knocked down.
　　In just a few seconds, Li Nuo stepped over the four who fell on the ground and walked to the child.
　　 Crouched down and looked at the scared bear boy, Li Nuo felt a little funny with the face of this kid in panic.
Not only was the child frightened by Li Nuo's skill, but the weird mask on his face gave him a sense of horror. He leaned against the dirty wall behind him and said tremblingly: " I...I...I...Thank you..."
　　 Li Nuo smiled and took off the mask, "Do you remember me?"
　　 The child recognized him immediately, with a distinctive oriental face and thin body, the man who touched his pocket while escaping.
　　 But this kid didn't know that it was a bullet. Due to his professionalism, he usually stole something to a safe area to watch the loot, and he had never seen a bullet.
　　 He immediately took out four bullets from his pocket and said in a panic: "Sir, I knew I was so lucky today that I would never steal something! Please let me go!"
　　 Li Nuo received four bullets, got up and picked up the stolen men's copper plates from the ground, and then searched his body, turned out a few banknotes, put away half of them, and gave the rest to the child.
"what's your name?"
　　 The child did not dare to take the money, and said cowardly: "Tom..."
　　 Li Nuo forcibly stuffed the banknote into his hand and said, "Remember what I said, after helping you, you have to help me too?"
　　 Tom was taken aback first, then nodded vigorously.
　　 Li Nuo smiled and said: "Okay, I want to ask you to teach me to steal things."
