"You don't even know this... You guys didn't just come out of the mountains, did you?"

The rabbit-eared woman shook her head helplessly, obviously thinking the three men were ignorant mountain people.

"Indeed, we don't understand anything. How about you tell us in detail?"

Shul said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"Well, forget it. If you want to know, go to the city and ask for yourself."

Just at this moment, the chef's voice was heard from the kitchen, and the woman walked in and ignored the three people.

This meal was probably the best and most comfortable one I had on the journey. Even though the service was not so good, I was satisfied.

"I say, don't you have anything fun here?"

Shul asked the bored woman.

"interesting place?"

The bunny-eared woman asked back.

"Eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, which one do you want?"

"...I don't want any of them...I can't afford it. Besides, there are children here. Recommend me some decent places."

Shul knew that the other party was joking and was seeking revenge for his sarcastic behavior.

"Well, Recker is famous for his abstinence from entertainment. Uncle, if you want to have fun, you've come to the wrong place. If you insist, there may be a large gathering hosted by the church in the next two days, and the new Saint will also be in attendance."

"Ha, but judging from your appearance, you don't seem to be believers of the Holy Light. If you want to catch a glimpse of the Saint Lady, or want to see a grand spectacle, then I still recommend you three to go."

The woman emphasized the word "grand scene", and her meaning was clear.

"An activity organized by a church? Wouldn't that just mean going to jail?"

Naturally, Shul sneered at the church and could not muster any interest in it.

Moon still did not comment on this, and he had no good feelings towards the church.

On the contrary, little Rachel's eyes lit up when she heard about the excitement. She had received a lot of alms from the church's charity group and was somewhat yearning for this kind of activity.

But when Rachel saw the expressions of the other two, she retracted the thought.

After all, the decision was made by Shor and Moon, so even if she wanted to go, she would be too embarrassed to ask.

Shul also noticed Rachel's mood change from anticipation to hesitation, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Is it really good for someone to be so observant at such a young age?

Then Scholl said:

"But, since there's a saint here, let's go see what's so special about this woman... What do you say?"

"Let's finish the business first, and then it'll be up to you guys."

Moon said calmly.

The first thing to do is to report to the Thieves Guild.

After spending so many days together, Moon actually forgot for a moment that the three of them were actually just travel companions at the beginning, and they should go their separate ways when they reached their destination.

Maybe deep down in her heart, she recognized the relationship between two people of different ages...friends?

The heart that had been closed for some reason in recent years has opened up.

......

At night, in a dark corner under the wall of Reker.

"Hey, here."

The tavern owner in Batoria called the three of them over.

He first saw Rachel and asked with a strange look on his face:

"Where did you two kidnap these kids from? This is not part of our business."

"Yes, they were kidnapped as our token of joining the guild."

Shor said with a deliberate smile.

"That won't do. Let him go immediately."

The boss's face suddenly darkened and his tone left no room for doubt.

"Uncle, lying is not good."

Rachel spoke up.

"Just kidding. You got mad before the kid even got teased... I met this kid on the road. She was the only one at home, so I helped her."

The boss's expression looked a little better.

"Don't make jokes like this again... Come with me."

After saying that, the boss took the lead and walked along the foot of the city wall.

"I have a question that I have been holding back all this time. You said you wanted to come here, and we wanted to come here too, so why didn't we go together in the first place?"

On the way, Shule couldn't help but ask.

"I have to clean up after you, have you forgotten?"

Well, in that situation, the body needed to be properly handled, unless the guild didn't want to work in Battoria anymore.

"So how did things end up being resolved?"

"No need to deal with it, because Danger City no longer exists."

Only then did Shul remember that the woman named Yan had mentioned the slave uprising in Batoria.

"That's a relief."

The boss took the three people to a drainage outlet near the city wall and said:

"This is it. We enter the city from here."

"Wait, your guild is in the sewers?"

"That's right, go in quickly, don't let anyone see you later."

......

The surface of Reker City is bright and beautiful, shrouded in holy light, and unexpectedly the sewers are also quite clean. Apart from the inevitable odor, there is not much dirt. It is obvious that there are special people cleaning them.

"Better than the doghouse in Batoria."

"This is our headquarters after all, so we need to do a good job on the facade. You'll be in for a surprise once you get inside."

"Are thieves so particular?"

After hearing what Scholl said, the boss suddenly turned around, stopped, looked directly at Scholl and said:

"Shor, the Thieves Guild may be a gathering place for thieves, but it is definitely not a gathering place for scum. We have beliefs and bottom lines. Oh, and we are hospitable to guests like you."

"Sorry, my bad."

"Humph, you'll know later."

Seeing that Shul was just a perfunctory apology, the boss said nothing more after that and led the way alone.

After twisting and turning in the intricate sewer system, the group finally came to a place that might be the central system. Water from all directions converged here, and this was also the place with the strongest smell.

"There is no way."

Scholl said.

The boss didn't respond, but walked straight to a wall and groped for something.

"Wait a minute, I haven't used this mechanism for a long time, it will be ready soon..."

Suddenly, the boss said in an awkward tone.

"What's the point of breaking the door? Why is it so difficult?"

"This isn't some 'breaking door'... This is the 'Door of Dawn and Dusk', a gift that the lady left for the guild. To get in, you have to solve the puzzle it gives... Well, to put it bluntly, you have to pry it open..."

"How difficult is it to pick a lock? Isn't this your area of ​​expertise? If all else fails, just break it open."

"I don't have that ability. Besides, every time I open the door, the puzzle it gives is different. It's normal that I can't open it for a while."

The boss started to sweat on his forehead, it looked like it was going to be a bit difficult.

As he was speaking, there was a click and the mechanism in the wall was finally activated.

"Well, go in. It seems I need to practice my lock picking skills more in the future..."
