City of Liberty, the outer edge of the daytime area, in front of a certain house

"Here it is, sir."

Cole saluted Mo Tan respectfully. He had changed back into black leather armor and hung two matte daggers on his waist, as if he had merged with the night. High alert.

Although the target's anti-reconnaissance awareness is so weak that it is almost ridiculous, Cole Shuren, who has completely consolidated his realm at a high level some time ago, is not careless. It has nothing to do with Mr. Adversity. In fact, under the latter's deliberate training, the "orthodox thief education" Cole received was completely based on the routine of "how to hide yourself as a senior psychopath in society", among other things, This young man has at least maxed out his vigilance skills.

【Maximum meaning】is equivalent to 【Death】, Mo Tan has firmly nailed this concept into Cole's mind, this kid now even sleeps at night with two daggers in his arms to feel at ease.

From an objective point of view, this may be a kind of morbid mentality that is overcorrected, but it is this morbid mentality that saved Cole countless lives before he truly became the night king of the free city.

Of course, that's all for later.

Now we don't talk about the future, just talk about the present.

"Enter."

Mo Tan yawned lazily, and gave Cole a look of 'obediently step on the thunder'.

The latter immediately understood, walked slowly to the door without making a sound, pulled out a strangely shaped blade from his cuff, and carefully inserted it into the ordinary-looking keyhole, slightly swaying. force.

Accompanied by an imperceptible crisp sound, the door of the house was opened without drama.

In the next second, Cole Schulen, who insisted on honing himself with Mo Tan's inhuman training method, and was promoted to a high-level strength in just half a year by relying on his talent slightly higher than ordinary people, floated into the room , completed the detection with high efficiency like a ghost, turned around and made a professional gesture to Mo Tan, which simply means [the house is safe, there is a secret passage inside].

then……

"What do you mean?"

Mo Tan, who was standing at the door, smacked his lips, and yelled carelessly at the horse boy in the house.

Cole: "..."

"Don't mind, just liven up the atmosphere."

Mo Tan smiled at Cole who subconsciously shivered as if he was blowing his hair, and then walked into this rather plain-looking room, tilting his head and asking the latter: "Where is it?" Woolen cloth?"

Cole turned sideways, let out the wooden shelf behind him with a small number of utensils, raised his hand and pressed the second cup from the left on the middle layer, and then the wall behind him sank silently Going down, a dark passage was revealed.

"Let's go down and have a look?"

Mo Tan laughed with great interest, seeking Cole's opinion.

But the latter obviously did not dare to have any opinions, so at the same time Mo Tan proposed this idea, he turned the dagger in his left hand and pressed a certain place on the side of the blade with ease, turning the handle of the murder weapon into a Something like a glow stick.

[Enthusiastic support for Xiaolan] is one of the extra functions that Mo Tan added to Cole's dagger with his own engineering attainments. Not only is the light source stable, but it also has two features of convenient charging and energy saving and environmental protection. Can complete up to [-] minutes of snoring in any extreme environment.

It can even be used for lighting.

All in all, Cole walked into this secret passage under the reflection of "Enthusiastically Supporting Xiaolan", while Mo Tan was humming "Little Conch, Xia Ji Eight Blows, Seagull listened to Xia Ji Eight Fly~" Xiao Tiao followed behind the former, looking like a schoolboy on an outing.

The length of this secret passage is average. According to its structure, it can be judged that the destination should be located directly under this house. If there is no accident, it should lead to some kind of place similar to an illegally built basement.

The interior of the passage is fairly clean, and the air is quite fresh and dry under the action of several wind element circles above. Although it looks a bit gloomy due to the absence of light sources, there is no scary atmosphere.

The two walked down the cold and dry steps like this, and soon came to a spacious space that looked similar in size to the upstairs, but much richer in content.

There are magic crystal lamps every half a meter on the surrounding walls, most of them are relatively cheap styles, while the few that look quite luxurious all exude red light, and the emblem of the Bloodwing family is printed on them .

Under the soft and inconsistent light source, Mo Tan and Cole can easily see everything in this space, such as those thick and wide tables, those piles of manuscript papers piled together, such as There are experimental tables with various black liquids, such as those strangely shaped glassware on the ground, such as a large number of thick books, such as a tall figure who is flipping through one of the books.

Yes, there are people in this place.

"Hey guy."

When Cole tensed his body subconsciously, ready to deal with the possible attack at any time, Mo Tan walked briskly to the tall figure standing in the middle of a pile of books studying hard, and greeted with a smile: " Good evening~"

It was a man who was only slightly shorter than Anthony Dubs, and looked very strong, hiding himself in a large black cloak. His hands holding the book were very wide, and he wore heavy gloves full of mechanical texture. , the face under the hood is also wearing a full-face mask, leaving only a few holes that seem to be used for seeing and breathing. The movements are a little clumsy, but they have an inexplicable calmness.

"Um……"

There was no sense of dissonance between the deep voice and the appearance. The huge figure of the owner slowly turned to Mo Tan, and lowered his head unhurriedly to look at his face. It was not until a few seconds later that the male voice with a thick nasal voice came from Mo Tan. A voice came from under the mask: "Welcome, the uninvited guest blessed by the dark night, I am willing to give you enough time to turn around the sand of dark light twice to explain your intentions. There is no need to thank you, no need to be grateful, everything is inevitable, and it is all cause and effect."

Cole was stunned at that moment, staring at the huge man full of mystery in front of him in surprise.

"Your generosity is enough to light up the entire night sky."

Mo Tan gave a pompous salute, then sat unceremoniously on the experimental table next to it filled with countless bottles of black liquid, and said with a smile: "Since I don't know how long it will take to turn the Sand of Dark Light Time, I will cut to the chase, my name is Seven Inke, and I would like to extend my most sincere greetings and invitations to you on behalf of Countess Leisa Keyworth."

The tall figure was silent for a long while, and slowly put down the "Mysterious Aquatic Plants in the Jinhui River and Their Characteristics": "Lessa Keyworth? The stars are whispering in my ears, they are singing, proclaiming the name It would be ominous for me, an indistinct, indiscernible hatred, and perhaps Seven Ink could tell me if it was just a little joke about the stars."

"Of course it's a joke. The singing of the stars will never be worthy of our trust."

Mo Tan perfectly kept up with the opponent's rhythm, and smiled: "If you are worried about whether the Kaiworth family will hold a grudge because of your outstanding contributions to the Bloodwing family in the past few months, then I can guarantee , that beautiful countess didn't intend to delve into this matter from the very beginning, after all, we all know that the relationship between you and the Bloodwing family is just a simple employment relationship."

The other party fell into silence again, and after a while, he crossed his legs and sat down slowly on the ground, his tone seemed a little confused: "I feel the warmth of sincerity, but I can't be sure whether it is trustworthy, just like stars can lie, The black flames in the depths of your eyes disturb me."

"I understand your concerns very well, but it is only the two of us who are here today, not the elite of the Kevos family who are familiar with it. This is a kind of sincerity."

Mo Tan lowered his eyes, played with his nails and smiled lightly: "It's not deterrence, not intimidation, only respect and sincerity, as far as I know you are an outstanding researcher, and most outstanding researchers The common problem is that it is difficult for them to reason with those mediocre people, and it is difficult for them to defeat those unreasonable people, isn't it?"

The other party just looked at him silently and didn't speak.

"In other words, although I respect the knowledge in your mind very much, I doubt that you, with such a healthy body, can pass three tricks under the horseman next to me. Oh, please don't get me wrong, this is not a threat .”

Mo Tan shrugged, raised his eyebrows and said: "Let's skip those boring and tedious temptations, at least those things are meaningless to me personally. I mean a pure partnership, so naturally there is no reason to refuse the olive branch of the Keyworth family now that the Bloodwing family has been annexed, isn't there?"

"A new contract?"

The other party asked the question in a contemplative tone.

"A new deal."

Mo Tan stood up, opened her arms and said with a smile: "The beautiful Countess of Kyworth is willing to fulfill everything that Raphael Bloodwing promised you, and even offer more generous terms."

"I need a more comfortable space, at least more comfortable than here."

The other party nodded slightly after being silent for a moment, while playing with the "Magical Aquatic Plants in the Jinhui River and Their Characteristics" in his hand, he said at a slightly faster speed than before: "There are still some devices that can hold more truths. , Of course, there should be those regrettable, vulgar payments in this contract, but I will not make too many claims in this regard."

Mo Tan slightly nodded: "Then, tell me what you are good at, sir."

"Floating spirits are willing to share their limited knowledge with me. It is my lifelong wish to concoct potions leading to bliss, but please note that I, who can hear voices, cannot be confused with those vulgar alchemists. I have no intention of Delving into certain pale and empty formulas."

The man who once helped the Bloodwing family find out how to control Yilili's origin blood laughed softly and clapped his hands lightly: "But I have a third eye bestowed by heaven, which is an invisible substance, and can get rid of countless rigid stereotypes." You have to think carefully before deciding whether to sign a contract with me, and you have to concentrate on thinking about whether I can be a satisfactory contractor."

Mo Tan grinned and said casually: "It's okay, I know a girl who is similar to your nature, she can always bring countless surprises."

The other party was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly and said: "Maybe she is my kind, can hear the whispers of floating spirits and stars, and is blessed by talent."

"Okay, now please tell me your name."

Mo Tan glanced at the system time, listlessly changed the topic.

"Cholera Tazdingo."

After a moment of hesitation, the other party finally reported his name, which was the same information that Mo Tan asked from Raphael.

"Cole."

Mo Tan snapped his fingers.

"Yes, sir."

The young high-ranking thief immediately took a step forward.

"Take Mr. Cholera to Keyworth Manor, tell Xiao Ai and our countess what happened here, and then let them send some people to clean up, and transport all the things in this house to the manor and leave."

Mo Tan briskly issued an order, and then added with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "If you find any signs of Mr. Cholera's non-cooperation on the road, even if it's just an illusion caused by you drinking too much today, don't hesitate, first Time to kill him."

"Yes, sir."

Cole nodded without hesitation, then walked up to the mysterious alchemist who claimed to be Cholera Tazdingo, and politely invited: "Let's go, Lord Cholera."

cholera:"……"

After a second and a half of silence, which was the total time it took for Cole to turn the dagger in his hand and turn the blade to the front, Cholera nodded cooperatively and left with Cole.

five minutes later
Mo Tan stretched his body lazily, and wandered around the 'basement' like a person taking a stroll in the courtyard, slowly inspecting every thing in it that could see the description of the item.

Books, scrolls, magic patterns, utensils...

The extremely patient Mo Tan took nearly half an hour to read these things one by one, and at the end, he picked up one of the bottles of black liquid on the laboratory table and took a sip.

Then he spat it out with a look of disgust on his face.

"What a terrible taste..."

Mo Tan squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the bottle of [suspicious semi-finished reagent] in front of him, and said to himself in a very soft voice: "But this smell seems a little familiar."

"It's time for you to go, Eliza."

"I see, brother."

"How many percent?"

"It's more interesting because you don't know."

"Oh, that's what I said..."
