In the end, Carlos didn't meet the legendary Archduke Joraci Ravenholdt, but judging from his father's face, the conversation should have gone well. In the final result, Archduke Jolazy Ravenholdt promised Ravenholdt not to undertake assassination commissions against the Barov family, and sent three powerful assassins to counter-hunt the assassins targeting Carlos. Farad reluctantly explained to Carlos: Assassins are not bodyguards, and Ravenholdt does not have professional talents in guarding. The only way to achieve security is to kill the assassins in advance.
At Carlos's strong request, Dandemar Blue Feather joined the list of three people; a human bald man with a tight face was Farad's personal suggestion; and a troll thief from the Hinterlands indigenous tribe, Dufang. The addition of Maltooth is the goodwill of Archduke Joraci Ravenholdt towards the Barov family.
Arriving at the foggy area east of Ravenholdt Manor, Alex and his son followed Farad closely. The three senior assassins have long since disappeared, and only the sound of deliberate and abrupt footsteps can be heard, telling the employer that I am by your side.
Deep in this misty mountain forest, there was a mage tower. Ravenholdt's servants who had been waiting there gave Alex and his son warm boots to put on. Then, Farad gave an unknown signal, the door of the mage tower opened, and a group of six people entered the tower.
"Alex, this is Master Obidos who serves the manor. You can contact your wife. The master will briefly open the magic barrier near the manor. You can use the teleportation spell to go back." Farad explained .
Alex nodded. After contacting Janis through magic props, Master Obidos cast a spell to temporarily block the magic barrier surrounding the entire Ravenhold Manor from disrupting the magic tower. The teleportation spell was no longer be disturbed.
At the same time, three master-level spell casters, Janis, Fang Brick, and Obidos, jointly cast spells, and a stable portal was quickly formed.
"When I went there, I walked all day and all night, and when I came back, I just had a blast. The masters are really useful. Mom, I miss you so much." Carlos walked to Janis and hugged his mother. Alex smiled. They wanted to say something, but the father and son soon realized that the atmosphere in the room was not right. Carlos let go of Janis and walked to his father's side, alert.
"Young Master, there are six of you in your group, but there are seven teleported objects, and there are still things in this room." Fang Brick put a mana shield on himself, added an arcane vision, and then explained to Carlos .
Dandema drew out his two swords and walked to the center of the room and closed his eyes to enhance his senses. The bald man and the one-toothed man who was given the title of "Bald Brother" by Carlos disappeared out of thin air in front of everyone. Janis seemed innocent. He stood there, but there was no point in guessing the actions of a master of illusion.
"Don't be like this... I'm very nervous when you are like this." In the open space in the corner of the house, the Hidden Man just opened his mouth, and six sharp blades and two staffs were already pointed at it.
A figure emerged, a young human woman wearing a tight-fitting leather jacket with beads of sweat as big as mung beans on her head.
"Your Majesty, Duke, Lord, I just want to make a deal with you. Can you put down the blade first? Brother Bald, we should have met. This little girl has to rely on her face to make a living. Please be gentle." The human woman tried He tried to move the poison-quenched dagger on his neck, but it had no effect.
"Uncle Lan Yu, help me." The little girl was about to cry.
"Hey." Dandema retracted his swords and explained to everyone: "I have seen this little guy. He is a new batch of trial trainees in the manor. He is very talented in concealment."
"Just wait for the punishment from the Grand Duke, rookie." Brother Bald took back the dagger and said to the little girl fiercely.
"I haven't signed the contract yet, and I'm not a formal employee of the manor. You can't punish me!" the little girl argued loudly.
"Intruder, explain your purpose of coming." Alex pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little nervous.
"I'm not an intruder, I'm..." Before the little girl could finish speaking, Carlos pulled out his Thorium dagger and put it on her neck again, "You still have three sentences."
"I'm very powerful."
"one."
"You look like you're rich."
"two."
"Do not kill me!"
"three."
Just as Carlos finished counting three, the little girl suddenly disappeared in front of everyone.
Brother Bald snorted coldly and ducked against the door. In such a confined space, no matter how good your stealth skills are, it's useless if you can't get out.
"He is indeed a powerful stalker. Come on out, I think we can talk." Alex said.
Then the little girl crawled out from under the experimental table.
...The scene was a bit cold, and Brother Bald even mocked him: "It would be a shame to let you enter Ravenholdt."
"Don't be afraid, little girl, tell me your name." Alex adjusted his voice and spoke in the voice of a warm and caring uncle, which made Carlos and Janis feel numb all over.
"My name is Lucia, Lucia from the Einstein family in Stratholme City." My sister-in-law stepped aside Dandema and Fang Brick and stood next to Alex.
Brother Bald is completely speechless. You actually reported your real name and family name. You actually blew yourself up...Who is your tutor? I will give him a good time if I have the chance. It just discredits the profession of thieves. .
"Can you tell me how you followed us through the portal?" Alex asked.
"At first, Uncle Lan Yu led that guy around the manor, and I noticed that his waist was bulging, so I thought, um, haha, you know it." Lucia said, feeling embarrassed.
"Tell me the important point." Carlos spoke, and Lucia trembled.
"But Uncle Lan Yu was by his side, so I had no chance to make a move. Later I found out that Brother Tu, Qianshan Ya and Uncle Lan Yu were following you to the woods. I was very curious, so I kept following you. Brother Tu Ya and Brother Tu didn't know Why are you so crazy? Your steps are so noisy in stealth mode, so I followed the pace and blended in." After Lucia said that, Brother Bald and Duya.
And Carlos was a little distracted, thinking that he didn't feel disgusted at all when he called the big bald guy "Bald Brother". It turned out that he was used to it.
"Farad and Master Obidos didn't notice you?" Alex looked at Lucia in a different light.
"Uncle Farad, I have been using you to block his sight. In this place where there are many people and mixed footsteps, it is impossible for Uncle Farad to find me. As for Master Obidos, he found me, but I I waved to him and said hello, he thought I was in the same group with you." Lucia said, "I am awesome, please praise me."
"Mr. Dandema, please take care of the little guy first. Brother Bald, go and report this matter to Farad. I want to know his opinion." Alex knew that Dandema Lan Yu was alive. After being an old guy for 4000 years, he still respected the former warrior commander of the Night Elf Sentinel Force. As for the bald man, he accepted the code name given to him by his son.
"Uncle, Lucia hasn't had dinner yet." Lucia looked aggrieved.
"I can't make you hungry, foodie." Carlos looked at Lucia rudely.
"It's not a foodie, it's Rukia."
"From today on, your code name is <Tan Ji>."
"It's not Tanki, it's Rukia."
"Do you still want to have dinner?"
"It's not dinner, it's..., Tan Ji will report to you."
For the first time, Brother Bald felt worried about the future of the thieves profession.
