Vol 2 Chapter 40: Inexplicable task

After Allen left, Lena stepped out of the house and was shocked to see the pile of books.
"You bought these?"
嗯 "Well, yes," Tang En looked up and smiled. "How about, is there a feeling of being surrounded by knowledge."
"There is a siege, but ..." Lena picked up a book and said, "This is pharmacy. Although it is related to physicians, it is generally in the alchemy category. And this book" Minor Injury Treatment "Effect", which belongs to the category of magic, is a thing of the temple of light ... "
"..."
当然 Of course, you can't blame Allen for this matter. It can only be said that Tang En has no concept of a doctor of another world. He was talking about medical books at that time. With such a wide coverage, and these books were all sold on catty, Allen naturally bought them with a touch of it.
"But it ’s okay, you can accumulate more knowledge and prepare for my future promotion."
那就 "That's good, that's good!" Tang En touched his nose awkwardly.
It doesn't matter if it's bonsai, but books can't be piled in the backyard.
Tang En's second-floor building does not have a study room. After discussion, the last two decided to move the books into the hall first, and then take the time to buy a bookshelf. Lena picked some small potted plants and put them in their houses.
"A woman is really different". After a while, the originally monotonous room suddenly became brighter. Tang En, who is sensitive to smell, always felt a faint light fragrance lingering around his nose. It really felt like home ...
Everything was stopped, Tang En returned to the upstairs room and began to sort out daggers and other things.
The stationery spread on the table, a line of small print jumped up,
"Mr. Assassin, please arrive at the end of Shilu Lane, Xicheng District at six tonight."
The content is simple and the language is very polite. Aside from the fact that there is no payment and the identity of the guest is special, this letter is like an invitation letter inviting a friend to come as a guest.
Tang En left the key on the table, thought about it, and left the coin with a house deed.
初 The initial turmoil in his heart has subsided, and this "invitation" Tang En must go. The other party sent a letter to Allen, clearly indicating that he knew him well. In order to find the systematic task of ghost faces, Tang En is bound to stay in Laiyan City for a month, and he cannot let this unsafe factor that will explode at any time be on the side.
Besides, Tang En also wants to know, who is the other party? What is the purpose? How did you recognize him?
Uh ...
The location of Shilu Lane in Yunxi District is not too biased, and there are many residential houses at the entrance. However, this alley is too deep, so the back place is deserted a lot, and many homes are abandoned.
One of the largest abandoned homes is the one at the end of the alley. If you ask the elderly living here, he will tell you that it used to be a very prosperous noble family residence. However, due to some changes, the family quickly fell, and later moved out of the family. This house is also consigned to the City Affairs Department for consignment, but because the price is too high, few people ask for it.
But tonight, the front hall of this deserted house is dimly lit, with dozens of people sitting quietly in different positions, seemingly waiting for something.
几十 These dozens of people have different clothes, including black masks and leather suits ... Sometimes someone takes out a dagger and moves it between the fingers in the palm of his hand.
Tang En is sitting in the left corner of the hall at this moment, but his image is insignificant enough. He is a dwarf man with a height of less than four feet. Needless to say, this is of course the credit for osteoporosis.
Tang En is confused now. When he first came to see these people, he thought it was an ambush. No one expected him to just ignore him. When he looked closely at the people around him, he suddenly realized that they were all thieves, and they were not weak thieves.
what is happening……
As soon as Tang En's expression moved, everyone in the hall moved their eyes to the door.
Soon, a sound of trivial footsteps came. The door was pushed open, and a group of black armored guards armed to the teeth gathered in with a gray man with a black scarf on his face.
Such a momentum, needless to say, these people are waiting for the Lord.
The gray-clad man took the first two steps and arched his hands and said, "Welcome to you, the senior thief in Laiyan City!" The people in the hall were all experts, and naturally knew that this person was speaking in a false voice.
At this moment in the back corner of the hall, a man with a cold face in leather armor stood up and said, "No need to say nonsense, are you the client?"
"It's down."
"OK. Tasks, requirements, time!"
"Haha, please. I am not polite. My task is to steal one thing. But before that, I need to test you because I only need five top thieves."
"What test?"
The gray-clad man turned his right hand and took out a brown wooden box and said, "In this house, there are five such wooden boxes, and whoever gets it will be eligible to take up the task. Of course, we also arranged some institutions, everyone They're all experts, and it won't hurt you if you want to come. "
Task? test? After a conversation, Tang En was completely dizzy, how could I not understand ...
Tang En thought about various scenes, such as ambush, threats, etc. before coming here, but now the result is far more meaningless than he imagined. Tang En is now seriously doubting whether he has gone the wrong way.
Suddenly, dozens of thieves around have disappeared, obviously all looking for the wooden box.
"Is it a letter you wrote?" If you don't understand, just ask.
"Faith? What faith?" Said the gray-clad man in wonder.
Nyima ... Was it tricked? Is it Allen's joke with himself? No, it's obviously abnormal here, and Alan couldn't have known it.
"Mr. Thieves, don't you try it?" Asked the gray-clad man when Tang En was standing still.
Tang En's heart moved suddenly, did UU read the book www.uukanshu.com, the mysterious person who wrote the letter, wishing to participate in this task himself?
"What's the content of this mission?"
"Sorry, this needs to wait until you get the wooden box."
Tang En nodded, no matter what, now identity is in the hands of the mysterious person, as long as he wants to stay in Laiyan City, there is no choice.
Thinking of this, Tang En arched his hand towards the grey-clad man and exited the front hall.
Tang En had roughly observed this house when he came, many houses were built layer by layer. Finding a wooden box the size of a palm here is definitely not easy. And if this wooden box is in any hidden compartment, it is even a haystack.
Tang En is a killer, and an assassin in this world.
In the other world, the assassin and the thief are not particularly clear, because the boundary between the two is too good to cross. Generally speaking, thieves include assassins, and assassins are a kind of thieves who go to extremes! So there is only a thief's union, and no assassin's union.
The so-called surgery industry has a specialization. If it is killing, it is the assassin's business. But if sliding door locks look for something, it must be a thief's strength. Of course, this does not mean that the thieves do not kill. You must know that in the wild, some of the mercenaries in the role of scouts in the role of scouts, that is also very good at masters, killers do not blink.
Tang En recently added a lot of messy data to the system, but it is far from reaching the level of forming a system. He knows nothing about traps in organs and treasure hunting and prying locks. As things stand now, it's impossible to find a wooden box unless you are out of luck.
After pondering for a while, Tang En made up his mind.
Since is an assassin, of course it is done in the style of assassin ...
