The gloomy cell corridor was dimly lit, and from an unknown corner of the room in the darkness, faint moans of pain could be heard from time to time.
An indescribable stench filled the air. It seemed like a rotten smell, or something disgusting that had never been cleaned up, causing it to continue to ferment.
The previous Teddy was just like Liao Zixuan when he came, being put in a sack and carried directly.
Therefore, it was the first time for him to see the scene outside the cell. Perhaps coupled with the psychological effect of escaping from prison, Teddy became more and more nervous.
He covered his nose and waved the air with his hands, trying to drive away the smell.
While speeding up his pace, he got a little closer to the mysterious young inmate who was leading the way.
It is said that people tend to talk to relieve themselves when they are nervous, and the same is true for Teddy.
"I'm really convinced by this gang of treasure thieves. Don't you even know how to clean the house? You might as well hire a housekeeping company to come over!"
Liao Zixuan glanced at Teddy who was complaining and said nothing.
So the baron gentleman quickly changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, brother, since you are so powerful, you can bend metal with just a click of your hands. Uh... Although I don't quite understand how you evaluate your strength, you must be at least one or two levels of this. Bar?"
"I know that in our famous Fire Code Knights in Fire Code City, Commander Harvey is only at the third level. You are already half as powerful as Harvey. No matter what, you have to be considered a squad leader. A level person, right?"
It can be heard that Teddy compared Harvey with Liao Zixuan here, and even said the words "half Harvey", which is definitely trying to flatter him.
After all, not only ordinary people, but even the vast majority of nobles have a vague concept of strength, because under the long-term protection of the God of Fire, peace has been here for who knows how many years.
There are only a few familiar characters, and Harvey is already the ceiling-level character in terms of force that Teddy can think of.
Because of this, Teddy became even more strange.
"Brother, are those treasure thieves really so powerful? You were able to trick them and get caught?"
"Do you still remember what I said at the beginning?"
"You said you met a girl on the black market. She had big breasts and a perky butt. She was beautiful and had a sweet voice." Teddy answered immediately.
"The last sentence."
"Oh, you said...she brought you to a place where you can make a lot of money."
hiss...!
As if he suddenly had an epiphany, Teddy's eyes lit up and he patted his forehead.
"I...I know! You deliberately let the treasure thieves tie you into their lair, and then you took the trouble and stole the treasure thieves' lair!"
"Not too stupid."
Liao Zixuan nodded.
As a result, Teddy's next words almost made him stumble.
"No, it's actually because it's written like this in the book. I love watching this kind of stuff! It's so exciting!"
"Then tell me what to write next."
"Of course, the protagonist uses superb stealth skills to bypass layers of guards, steal the treasures, and then walk away in style..."
The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became.
Because Teddy suddenly realized a problem.
Now they are in a dirty and smelly cell area, so they can't meet guards. No one wants to stand guard in such a place.
But then their goal...at least his goal is to be able to get out, which will inevitably mean that they will encounter countless members of the treasure stealing group. After all, this is their hometown.
And he...he doesn't have any stealth skills!
What are you afraid of?
Just when Teddy was feeling uneasy about what to do next, Liao Zixuan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and gestured in front of him with his finger.
As they spoke, they saw that the two of them had reached the end of the cell area.
At the exit, there were four or five members of the treasure thief group, including the strong man who had just thrown in the sack containing Liao Zixuan just a few minutes ago.
"Big...brother." Teddy lowered his voice and called tremblingly.
Liao Zixuan now discovered that this guy usually calls him brother, but when he asks for something, he immediately changes his name to big brother.
"Brother, what should we do now? You...can you sneak?"
"meeting."
"But...but I can't, brother!" Teddy was about to cry.
For some reason, Liao Zixuan really likes to see this guy being miserable.
He deliberately teased the Teddy Baron.
"Really? Then you can only stay here."
"No, no, big brother!"
Teddy was frightened when he heard this. He subconsciously grabbed Liao Zixuan's clothes like a little girl who was about to be left alone when visiting a haunted house.
"Then what do you think I should do? You don't know how to sneak. Carrying you is just a burden to me."
"This is the home of the treasure thief group, the largest underground evil force in Huodian City. It is not a vegetable market. If you are not careful, you will die."
Liao Zixuan originally wanted to continue to scare the baron with his words, but Teddy's next move was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Originally, Liao Zixuan thought that with this shameless character, whatever he said would stick to him like a dog-skin plaster, clinging to his life-saving thigh and not letting go.
Unexpectedly, Teddy gritted his teeth and let go of Liao Zixuan's clothes, and then his expression became lonely.
Because he felt that Liao Zixuan was right.
Regardless of Teddy's previous performance, he doesn't seem to be very smart.
But in fact, being able to become a baron and inherit a noble family at such a young age is not really stupid. At least the overall situation is clear.
Teddy figured it out in an instant. If he shamelessly asked to follow the other party, the final result would only make the mysterious young man unhappy. It would be easy to knock him unconscious and leave him alone.
In that case, the best plan right now...
It would be better for him to take the initiative to go back, stop being a hindrance to others, and still have sympathy for him. After the other party goes out, he can ask the young man to help him find someone to redeem him. This is the most reliable way to survive.
Teddy sighed deeply.
"I understand, brother, then I will go back first, no...but before that, after you go out, brother, can I ask you a small favor?"
"Tell me about it." Liao Zixuan asked with interest.
"Brother, can you please go to my house and report a message? Just say that I was kidnapped by the people from the Stolen Treasure Group, and ask them to think of ways to rescue me outside..."
Halfway through his words, Teddy's expression suddenly changed.
"Hey! Wait! No, no, no! We must not let my old mother, who is almost ninety years old and sitting in a wheelchair, know that I am the only one in my family. If she knows, she will definitely get a heart attack I'm so sick."
"But...you can't tell my wife! My wife is pregnant with a big belly. The doctor said it's a boy. She also has my two little daughters to take care of. They are so small and only reach my legs. ...Brother, if you tell them, if they know their father, they will never come back... Wuwuwu..."
Teddy burst into tears, becoming more and more miserable as he spoke.
Liao Zixuan...
Liao Zixuan's mouth twitched.
If he hadn't read this guy's love letter to Vivian, he would have almost believed it.
Hiss, wait?
Is my thinking too conservative like a blue star? What if this guy really has a wife and children, and he writes a letter to the little girl?
Teddy suddenly felt an inexplicable shiver all over his body, and he couldn't even afford the bargain.
"okay."
"It doesn't matter whether you can sneak or not, as long as I can."
Liao Zixuan ignored Teddy and continued to walk towards the cell exit in front of him in such a swaggering manner.
But halfway through, he couldn't help it anymore, so he turned back and added another sentence.
"besides..."
"It's best that you made up all those things you just said."
"otherwise..."
Otherwise, even if he does need a chess piece belonging to Vivian's side in the nobility, you will not see the sun tomorrow.
Of course Liao Zixuan would not say this out loud, he would just hide it in his heart.
And Teddy's side.
"What...what do you mean?"
He suddenly understood the source of his previous chills.
But compared to this, what confused Teddy even more was Liao Zixuan's actions at this moment, and in the previous sentence, he didn't need to know it, as long as he could sneak.
But right now...
no?
What about the stealth you promised?
Just walk over there like that?
Who do you think you are that can sneak?
Teddy saw Liao Zixuan and the members of the treasure thief group guarding the cell door getting closer and closer. There were even a few guards who heard the footsteps. They immediately stopped chatting and held their weapons alertly...
Teddy immediately hid in the shadow corner, cursing in his heart that it was too bad, because once they started fighting and making a fuss, they would all be ruined.
But next...
"What..."
Before he even had time to say the last word "person", a member of the treasure thief group who was guarding the door of the cell area felt his eyes blur, and then the next second his world was spinning.
As for his companion, it was even worse. Without even seeing Liao Zixuan, he was hit hard by his companion's flying body, and they both fainted.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining two or three guards immediately wanted to escape and report the news.
But there were still dozens of meters between them, but they seemed to be there in the blink of an eye.
Next, they were lifted up like a chicken. One to the left and one to the right, the heads of the two treasure thieving gang members came into close contact. When Liao Zixuan put them down again, they were already unconscious.
"You...you are!" The last person left by Liao Zixuan was the strong man who sent him in.
Considering that he is a courier, he probably does this kind of errand a lot. I don’t know how many goods have been delivered here.
When he thought of this, Liao Zixuan gave the opponent's strong chest a small punch.
"If you don't want to be left behind, just follow closely."
After shouting to the corner where Teddy was hiding, Liao Zixuan continued leisurely without stopping. Walk towards the core of the underground base of the treasure thief group.
When Teddy heard this, he didn't dare to neglect and ran out quickly.
Especially when he passed by the strong man who was the freight forwarder and saw the strong man's deeply sunken chest, as if he had been hit hard by a carriage and was dead, his heart skipped a beat. Non-stop.
I'm on his side.
We are together, we are together.
Repeating this sentence in his heart to comfort himself, Teddy carefully stepped over the strong man's body and followed Liao Zixuan's footsteps closely.
Then, for the first time, the young baron had a new understanding of the meaning of the word "stealth".
What is stealth?
Answer: Complete your purpose without being discovered by others.
Teddy followed all the way, and then watched the members of their treasure stealing group who were in the way, whether they were guards or accidentally passing by.
At this moment, they were all twisted and twisted, lying like corpses on the cold ground at his feet.
When Teddy traveled smoothly, just following the mysterious young man in front of him, and then stopped in front of the treasure thief group's vault door, Teddy was a little dizzy.
It is no exaggeration to say that they did not alert anyone along the way and were not discovered by any member of the treasure stealing group.
Why?
Because those who were alerted and discovered them were all killed.
That naturally means there is no one left.
Now that Teddy had come back to his senses, he finally understood what Liao Zixuan had said to him at the beginning, which meant that you didn't need to be able to sneak, all he needed was that he could.
Um.
It’s simply textbook-level stealth!
In front of the underground vault door, Liao Zixuan clapped his hands, very satisfied.
"It's broken! Brother... Brother, I know this kind of door. I also have one at home. It's not an ordinary iron door!"
It's like I finally found my place.
After Teddy saw the treasure thief's vault door, he immediately explained to Liao Zixuan.
"This kind of door is expensive to make because it is enchanted and strengthened. Not only is it several times harder than ordinary metal, it cannot be opened with a key. You can only verify it yourself."
"Brother, if you really want to open it, I'm afraid... you'll have to tie up the leader."
Teddy had no intention of persuading Liao Zixuan to give up.
A few minutes ago, Teddy would have thought that he must be crazy to say such a thing, but now...it seems like a matter of course?
"It's such a small thing, don't bother others."
"I can just do it myself." Liao Zixuan turned his shoulders.
"Brother, you..."
Teddy was about to say that it was impossible to open this kind of enchanted vault door with brute force, but experience told him that it was better to swallow it. Every time he said something like this, he would be slapped in the face.
Wait a moment! ?
Why does this smell so familiar? Isn't this what the supporting characters beside the protagonist do in the knights he often watches, who are specially used to set off the protagonist?
It's the kind of thing where, oh, this is impossible, that's impossible, but in the end, the protagonist can handle it all easily.
Damn it, I have become a supporting role! ?
In the past, Teddy was very charming, after all, he was brought in as the protagonist, but when reality happened and he found out that the clown turned out to be himself, it suddenly changed.
snort!
When have I, Teddy Diabate, ever been wronged like this? ?
Then, his voice changed.
Since someone has to be the protagonist, why not me?
"Brother, although the mages of the Vulcan Sect at that time claimed that this kind of enchanted door was extremely strong and could not be opened by brute force, I think these are just farts!"
"In my opinion, as long as you want to, big brother... you will be able to open it easily without even 10% of your strength!"
"Am I right, brother?"
He glanced strangely at Teddy, who suddenly changed his style.
But what he said is true.
Accompanied by a familiar clicking sound.
It’s no different than breaking down the iron bars back then.
Liao Zixuan forcibly moved the treasury door out of its groove like a manhole cover.
Teddy's eyelids twitched.
Immediately afterwards, there was a gleaming golden light in the vault. Not all, but more than half of the treasure thief group's underground business was stored here.
Teddy only took a cursory glance and knew how profitable this kind of shady business could be.
Good guy, this treasury alone is almost targeting the family fortune of a small nobleman.
certainly.
It's still far from his home.
However, seeing the common people like the Stolen Treasure Group piling up a treasury like a mountain of gold in a playful manner, Teddy immediately realized another problem.
How to take out so many gold coins?
But that's what I thought in my heart, but when it came to Teddy's lips, I changed my words.
"Brother, you will definitely make a fortune this time. After you take these out, you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. No, you won't even have to worry about the next life!"
"Why are you so sure that I want to take all of this out?" This time it was Liao Zixuan's turn to ask.
Because according to normal people's logic, it must be as many gold coins as it can hold.
But when Teddy heard this, he immediately replied:
"Hey, brother, please stop joking. I don't believe you can leave soup for others if you take action!"
"What's more, I can tell it with my toes. Brother, you must have prepared some high-end magic props. The kind that can suck everything in front of you with just a wave of your hand!"
does not exist.
There is absolutely no such advanced magic item!
Teddy was extremely sure that as a noble, he had never heard of it, but he was the only one who wanted to say the opposite!
opposite.
Liao Zixuan: "..."
Then he waved his hand, and a large number of gold coins in the vault disappeared instantly, and then turned into a data stream, becoming the numbers in the gold coin column on the Vivian game panel.
Looking at Teddy across from me, the treasure robbers' vault became empty in the blink of an eye. What was revealed was a matter of course, and I was absolutely not surprised.
Liao Zixuan always feels...
I want to beat this guy more and more.
