readx; Ruta told Guan Heng these principles one by one, and he also gave a special instruction: "Remember, we are thieves, not assassins and killers. We must not hurt others unless it is absolutely necessary. You must be sure Only by doing this can I rest assured that you will be with me."
"Don't worry, brother Ruta." Guan Heng skillfully played with the short blade that Ruta had just given him. He said with a relaxed expression, half-jokingly: "What I hate most is killing people. That's not the case. How kind-hearted I am is actually because I get dizzy when I see blood."
"Hahaha, but what you said is true or false. I hope you mean it."
Ruta didn't dislike Guan Heng's humorous character very much. He immediately spread out a floor plan on the table and said, "The place we are going to tonight is the palace treasure house of this kingdom."
"Oh, what kind of rare treasures in the treasure house have you set your sights on?" Guan Heng said with a smile: "Or, we can just empty that place."
"No, there is only one thing in the treasure house that I want to get. The other things are just dung and dregs, not worth mentioning in my eyes."
Ruta said: "I came to the royal capital of this country before and committed crimes everywhere, just to cover up others' eyes. In fact, my target was only the things in the treasure house."
"Brother Ruta, what is that thing you are talking about?" Guan Heng asked casually: "If I accidentally saw it first, I might as well put it away for you."
"It's the same broken stone tablet with mysterious patterns on it." Ruta said, placing a stone block on the table: "Just remember its appearance."
"Broken stone tablet?" Guan Heng glanced at the stones on the table, and he suddenly thought: "Could this be the 'Heavenly Stone Tablet' that Ruta and Sahei were looking for in the underground palace?! Maybe this thing will interact with the darkness. The goddess has a certain connection, which later led to the encounter between Ruta and Daravier.”
Thinking of this, Guan Heng pretended to smile casually and said: "Is it possible that this kind of stone tablet itself is an extremely valuable treasure, or it is related to a priceless treasure or something, so you are so interested in it."
"No, this thing itself is not worth much. Apart from its age, it has no value at all. It is just that this thing means a lot to me. The reason why I have reached this point is all because of my belief in finding it. Support me."
Ruta suddenly became deep in thought for a moment, as if he was caught up in some distant memories, but he quickly shook his head, and then said to Guan Heng: "I know you are good at it, and it must not be the first time. Entering and leaving a heavily guarded place, let's do this, as long as I find the stone tablet, and the rest of the valuable treasures, as long as you like them, you can take a few of them, but don't be too greedy, understand?"
"I know this in my heart. Carrying too many things will be a burden." Guan Heng replied with a slight smile: "Thieves favor small targets, high value, and things that are not easily damaged."
"Well said." After hearing this, Ruta nodded with satisfaction. He smiled and said: "You are really talented in becoming a top thief. You may become my right-hand man in the Thieves Guild in the future."
"Then I will wait for you, President, to promote me." After Guan Heng said this, he and Luta looked at each other and laughed.
…
After the two went out, the scene turned into night. Guan Heng was not surprised at all at this time. After he put on the black cloth cloak, he and Ruta turned into two fast shadows and walked through the streets and alleys at the fastest speed. Arriving near the Royal Palace.
Under the towering palace wall, the two men showed their double short blades and quickly climbed up the city wall. After jumping over the wall, Luta said to Guan Heng: "The palace treasure house is divided into an open treasury and a secret treasury. The open treasury is divided into two. It is used to hide people's eyes and ears, and the storage is some ordinary gold and silver jewelry, but what is stored in the secret warehouse is the real treasure of the royal family of this country."
When Guan Heng heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Then... the broken stone tablet may be stored in a secret warehouse, right?"
"Yes, as a result of my previous investigation, the broken stone tablet is stored in the secret vault." Ruta said softly: "Come with me, I will take you to the entrance of the secret vault now."
Guan Heng lowered his body and ran with Luta in the shadow of the city wall, and asked softly: "Where is the entrance to the secret warehouse?"
"In a very conspicuous place."
Ruta replied: "That is the banquet hall in the palace. Countless princes, ministers, servants and maids pass by that house every day. However, the designer took advantage of this blind spot in human psychology and built the entrance to the treasure house there. , so for hundreds of years, the secret vault has been safe and has never been stolen."
The two of them were talking as they walked, running at an unparalleled speed. They encountered two patrol teams of palace guards along the way, but they managed to avoid them both times. In this way, they arrived at the banquet hall in just a few minutes. outside the door.
"Wait a moment." Luta stretched out his hand to stop Guan Heng who was about to break in, and then said: "The security specifications here are loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so there are probably hidden stakes set up to prevent uninvited guests from breaking in. I want to check. .”
Having said this, Ruta took off the small kettle from her waist, took a sip and sprayed it at the door. Then she took out a bottle from her pocket, opened the bottle, and blew it out. A large amount of white powder fell in front of her. , in an instant, countless thin lines appeared in front of Guan Heng's eyes, and at the end of the lines were strings of small warning bells.
Because the water sprayed by Luta was stained with powder, it was obviously attached to the thin line, allowing the two of them to see clearly. At this time, Ruta saw a corner on the side that was not blocked by the thin line, so he Guan Heng waved, and they walked around gently and quietly entered the banquet hall.
"Before I met you, I had already visited here twice and found that the security here was relatively tight at night."
Ruta was familiar with the environment in the house. He walked with Guan Heng under a pillar in three steps and two steps at a time. He said: "The designer who built this secret warehouse is indeed very powerful. He designed the door and surroundings of the secret warehouse." With the triple mechanism lock, the guards in the palace are not scary, but it will take me a few minutes to crack the mechanism lock and open the secret warehouse door. You can stand guard for me around here."
"I understand. As we have agreed in advance, we will meow twice if necessary." After Guan Heng and Luta made clear the division of labor, the latter immediately pried up the green bricks under the pillars and began to dismantle the mechanisms below. .
Guan Heng, on the other hand, paid careful attention to the movements nearby. As time passed, Guan Heng's ears suddenly moved, and he heard a soft click behind him. Luta said softly: "The first machine lock has been released, Guan Heng, You stand back.”
