Night Raven Master

Chapter 52

"I heard this from a Mr. Bard." There was a trace of uncertainty on Ke La's pretty face, "he said, the father of the first Red Rose Viscount and the first Blue Rose Viscount, It is the legendary Duke of Rose, sir, I am not sure if what he said is true."

"Both the Red Rose Viscount and the Blue Rose Viscount are the heirs of the Rose Duke?" Arter was a little puzzled but also understood that the blue-blooded person, a "powerful and sad bloodline" that relies on blood and is bound by blood, is the heir of a Duke. , their starting point should be very high, and they can basically become official wizards.

But
After Duke Rose was seriously injured and died in the battle with the monster, Duke Rose's original territory was divided among the other two dukes, but these two brothers who should at least inherit the title of Earl could only get the position of Viscount.

Why did the two viscounts who were originally brothers turn against each other and be hostile to each other?
Thinking of this question, many possibilities popped up in Yate's mind - for example, one of the viscounts took refuge in a certain duke after the death of the Duke of Rose, while the other brother thought it was a betrayal, so they turned against each other.

Or maybe both of them turned to different dukes, and they turned against each other, or neither of them took refuge, but they clashed over a certain inheritance, or something else.
It has been a matter of thousands of years, and only those who are still alive in that era will remember it. Even if it is the records of the kingdom and the church, after thousands of years, there may be accidents.

Everyone who knew about it died, and the truth is unknown.

But these are off-topic, he did not forget what he asked——

Those two viscounts, who are both qualified to be earls, were placed in the positions of viscounts. Although they didn't say anything, their strength is enough to build a small town. It should be enough to develop a small town to the present in a thousand years. right?
In other words - this small town has a history of thousands of years, and it already has the size of a city, but the current lord is still a viscount, so there is no way to call this small town the name of a city.

"By the way, that bard also said." Kela smiled, "He said that our Lord Red Rose and the giant blue rose tree led by Blue Rose were gifts from the Duke of Rose to the two children."

"Gift." Art turned his head to look at the giant red rose tree that covered the sky and the sun. The flame-like flowers all over the branches made it look extremely oppressive.

"It's really unimaginable," Art said with emotion.

At this moment, the two saw a man approaching, Kela subconsciously turned to the left side to make way, and Art also moved a step to the right.

However, this man, who seemed to be slightly shorter than Ater, also slanted his footsteps, moved half a step to the left, and hit half of Ater's body.

"Sorry, sorry!" The man raised his head and said to Art with an apologetic expression, "I'm in a hurry, I didn't notice you, sorry."

After finishing speaking, he politely bowed his upper body slightly to apologize. After finishing speaking, before Art could say anything, he walked away quickly, looking as if there was something urgent.

But Yate squinted his eyes, staring at the person who left.

He has done a lot of such actions. In the previous games where he used "stalker" as his profession, most of the skills of the stalker, his skill completion rate was around 80%-90%, especially in Miaoshou and Stealing. on these skills.

This action, which has been used by rogues, rogues, and assassins who are never tired of stealing skills, is one of the common postures for stealing.

He touched the money bag hanging on his waist and at the hem of his clothes-the cloth pocket and the few silver coins and some copper coins put inside as a cover had disappeared.

The corner of Yate's mouth curled up. Although he was not considered a top stalker before, he was still a mid-level player, and it was rare for someone to touch something.

Ke La was taken aback when she saw Yate's movement of touching the hem down. This clever little girl seemed to understand something, and hurriedly said: "Sir, hurry up and chase, I will notify Mr. Guard!"

As she said that, the little girl was about to walk towards a guard.

Suddenly, she felt her arm being pulled.

Ke La turned back with some doubts, looked at Yate, with a anxious expression: "Sir, if you don't go, that person may run away—"

"It's okay." Art showed a gentle smile, comforting the little girl, "You can continue to take me to Mrs. Roll's shop, it's okay."

"But sir." Kela wanted to say something more, but the calm and gentle smile on Art's face made her swallow her words again.

"Didn't it be stolen?" The little girl thought with some doubts, and at this moment, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a black shadow flying from the roof not far away.

"Yeah——"

a crow?
With their dark bodies and ugly voices, no one does not know these birds. They not only appear in the wilderness, but also live in places where humans gather, collecting some weird and shiny items.

The most common birds for these children, besides blackbirds, are these crows. After discovering a crow's nest, many children like to touch it, and they may find something good.

Before, among their children in the East District, someone found a ring inlaid with gemstones from the crow's nest.

His parents secretly sold the ring to a merchant and got a lot of silver coins.

Ke La watched the crow with reddish feathers flap its wings and take off. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see the crow flying in the direction that the person left just now.

"Okay, Kela, let's go." Yate smiled and pointed at Du's simple crutch made of rough wood, and walked forward. When walking, his eyes glanced to one side.

In front of a shop, the two civilians who looked like they were chatting were standing in the direction of the leaving thief.

"Okay sir." Kela hurriedly followed Art, and she answered Art's question as the two walked.

Ke La didn't notice that Yate, who was walking a little ahead of her, had his eyes spread a little, as if he was staring at something.

In front of the two of them, there was only a wide and smooth stone pavement.

This time, the other side.

Two men who looked like civilians walked forward quickly, following the thief's moving route and chasing after him.

And the thief who had already rounded a few corners put his arms in his arms, and in the slightly loose clothes, he gently kneaded the money bag with his palm, as if confirming the amount of money.

"made money!"

The thieves were a little happy. Two or three silver coins are enough for an ordinary person to live for a month. For a family, three silver coins are not small money.

There should be five silver coins and nine copper coins in this purse, enough for him to live "decently" for more than half a month.

I followed a businessman to meet a few nobles before, and he was very envious of the life of those nobles. No, the life of that rich businessman was also worthy of his envy.

Relying on the unexpected reward, he acted as a decent person for a while.

The life of being looked at with envious eyes made him really want to stop, but this kind of performance also cost a lot, and the previous money was almost gone four months later.

He needs more money to keep himself decent.

He used to make a living by petty theft, but he thought that after working with the rich businessman as his subordinate, he would not do such things again
"It's really unimaginable." He shook his head and sighed with a smile on his face. Obviously, the success of this shot made him very happy. He just needs to find a place to wash off his disguise and change his clothes. He is still "Mr. Brand", the thief and Mr. Brand are completely two people.

No one would have guessed that the respectable and well-off Mr. Bland would do such a thing as theft.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings, and a black bird with reddish feathers landed on a wooden shelf not far in front of him.

The old grocer had just put down his goods and walked back into the house.

crow?

He only paid attention to the sound of footsteps and figures, but he did not expect a crow to appear here.

He didn't think much about it. It was not uncommon to see crows in Red Rose Town. After being stunned for half a second, he was about to go back to that deserted corner and change his clothes.

However, he heard more flapping of wings.

When he raised his head and looked towards where the sound came from, he saw crows standing in a circle on the roofs of the surrounding houses.

Their size is slightly larger than common crows, and their feathers are slightly reddish. This is not the most important thing. He was horrified to find that these crows stared at him with strong malice in their eyes.

Only among them, the eyes of the biggest crow didn't feel this way, but the eyes of that crow made him feel even more terrifying, like, like——

Just like the eyes of people.

With a mocking smile, he seemed to be laughing at himself, and there was a trace of indifference, as if he was already dead.

Dead?
Brand was frightened by his "thoughts", and hurriedly said in his heart: "No, no, it's just my illusion."

However, when this thought flashed across his mind, and his gaze recaptured the figures of those crows, he saw those crows flying towards him in unison——

"Yeah——"

The pitch-black crows rushed towards Blonde in unison, and he hurriedly let go of the money bag in his arms in horror, waving his hands non-stop, trying to stop their attack.

However, for some reason, he suddenly felt that the arm he swung vigorously seemed a little weaker than before.

At the corner, the two people who had just chased after seeing this scene were also stunned, and one of them was about to step forward, but the other person hurriedly stopped him——
