The Emerald Tower

Chapter 28 Infiltrating

Dean, who was advancing, didn't dare to be careless. The city and insidiousness shown by Molde were enough to make Dean cautious.

And it turns out how important it is to be so careful——

Only less than three steps away from the door, under the cover of the blanket in the corridor, a flap was discovered by the careful Dean, and there was also a switch connected to the flap: one behind the door, one step behind the door. Raised coat hooks on the far hanger.

Obviously, once any intruder accidentally steps on the flap, the whole person will inevitably fall into it, and during this period, the blanket laid on it as a cover and decoration will bind you like a net bag , so that your agile and powerful skills are greatly restricted, even if you break away from it, you will be in a mess.

Undoubtedly, the person who set up this trap has considerable experience.

Dean didn't turn off the switch of the flap, jumped up and stepped over the flap.

After that, he found no less than six similar traps in this house with a master bedroom, an auxiliary bedroom, a study room, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom; basically every place has one. Mechanism traps, especially the crossbow bolt mechanism in the master bedroom.

Dean can be sure that anyone who pushes open the door rashly will definitely be shot in the heart.

Slightly twisting the decorative wave relief on the door frame of the bedroom door, Dean carefully pushed open the bedroom door when there was a crisp 'click' sound from the back of the door as the bowstring spring fell.

For Dean, who used to be an assassin and killer, although the traps here are not worth mentioning compared to the residences of some real big men, but as Molde, money can do this to a certain extent, which is already quite impressive. That's amazing, plus the flap at the door - Dean can be sure that these arrangements are all made by a very professional thief.

Of course, the price is not cheap.

As for the connection between Molde, the tax collector, and the thieves?

Even for the sale of stolen goods, Molde will definitely deal with the thieves union in Vauban County.

However, these are not things that Dean needs to pay attention to now. He has already entered the master bedroom and is now seriously looking for any possible hiding place.

Bedside tables, wardrobes, such obvious places are certainly not Dean's choice.

Now that there is already a trap set up by thieves, it is not very strange that there is another secret room set up by thieves.

Moreover, Dean believed that the tax official would not be stingy with such a secret room because of his prudence towards the devil's blood dagger.

Soon, relying on his previous experience, Dean discovered a place that was likely to be a secret room. Behind the head of the bed, there was a much thicker wall—Molde's house was a very complete square, On the premise that it has an independent bedroom and study room, but there is no second floor, it is divided into two parts, the front and the back. The back part is the master bedroom and study room on one side, and the auxiliary bedroom, kitchen and bathroom on the other side, and the rest The main space is the front part, the corridor starting from the entrance and the living room that must pass through.

Therefore, although the space size of each room is different due to different functions, the wall that each room relies on on each side should be one wall.

However, it is clear that this is not the case in the master bedroom!

After comparing it with the study room, Dean was sure that the wall of the master bedroom was nearly 1.5 feet thicker than the study room on the same side.

And under this thickness, just one adult can pass through!

Boom, boom...

The slightly hollow knocking sound further confirmed Dean's guess.

Afterwards, it was natural to look for the mechanism to enter—soon, almost subconsciously, the tax official was slightly bright, and even the paint on the headboard of the bed was spotted by Dean.

Compared with the head of the bed on the other side, the head of the bed that Dean is watching must have been rubbed against, or... turned!

Dean stretched out his hand and carefully tried to twist it left and right. After confirming the looseness on the left side, Dean easily turned the head of the bed——

Click, click, click...

Amidst the slight sound of machine springs and gears, a secret door was exposed in the originally tight-fitting walls, and a downward corridor appeared in front of Dean.

Looking at the corridor hidden in the secret room, Dean walked down with a more cautious attitude.

After all, no one can guarantee that there will be no danger in this corridor.

In fact, according to Dean's experience, many experienced thieves would set up even more deadly traps in places where the intruders were relieved and thought to be safe.

However, the tax collector obviously thought that his corridor was sufficiently concealed, or...there were not enough Kimptons to arrange it—although because of the cooperation with the leader of the Fei Chalun Knights, and then In addition to the task of selling stolen goods, this tax official has a considerable family background, but at the same time, the price of hiring a thief is not so cheap, especially in a remote place like Tyreland, the price of hiring thieves is usually About 30% higher than other places: an ordinary thief's monthly employment fee is 30 Kimpton.

Apart from the lack of manpower in the Tyreland Thieves Guild, it was mostly due to Baron Tyre.

Although this Baron Tire is very happy and has a snobbish eye, it is undeniable that he is still a competent baron. At least in terms of ensuring the safety of the subjects, this Baron Tire is better than the leader of Defendi. It's much better than the two barons in the Ruhrland.

Catching up and clearing up bandits always gave Baron Tyre a good reputation.

Therefore, the life of the thieves in Tyre was not easy. Dean even wondered if there would be any thieves in Tyre if it wasn't for the cover of Molde, a tax official.

Of course, although most of the time, this is mutually beneficial, but the principles that should exist will not change.

For example: The rewards of thieves!

‘Paying must pay off! '

This is the rule set by the leaders of the thieves' unions in various places, and it will not be changed by any one person - as one of the few bottom lines for thieves, this is regarded as the dogma of life by the vast majority of thieves.

And when the cautious Dean came to the end of the corridor: a small room, after a little observation, he overturned his two previous guesses——

In this room of less than ten square meters, except for an unfinished passage, there are only two boxes, one large and one small.

Judging from the traces, the unfinished channel was obviously not made by professionals——Dean was not surprised by this. A person like Model would never give everything to his collaborators , In fact, not to mention unreliable collaborators like thieves, even reliable allies and relatives, the other party will not believe it, and even become more ruthless.

And this has long been a conclusion. After all, the Baron Tire has a relationship with the other party, but the other party killed the former and the former's children without the slightest mercy.

Except for the unfinished passage, there are two remaining boxes, one large and one small. The large box contains two bags of Kimptons and a small bag of gems. It's much smaller, but Dean can confirm that this small bag of gems is almost equal to the sum of the previous two just by looking at the size and color of the gems. There is no problem in selling two hundred Kimptons. Like buyers, it is not impossible to add some.

It can be seen that the Model tax official is not short of money. In addition to the unfinished passage that seems to have been done by him himself, it is obvious that the reason why there are no traps in the secret room is not because of this Model. Collector Del considered safe only because he no longer trusted the hired thieves.

Or... never trust!

However, this has nothing to do with Dean - after picking up the Kimpton and the gem bag in the big box without hesitation, Dean set his sights on the small box.

Click!

The iron lock was in front of Dean, without the slightest effect. After being opened with great ease, the small box was opened - on the light red flannelette, a dagger was slightly longer than ordinary daggers, but much shorter than ordinary short ones. The sword, with a twisted and flipped edge, and a special dagger shaped like a goat's horn, appeared there.

Devil Blood Dagger!

When Dean saw the special shape of the dagger, he immediately affirmed that this was his target this time—although he never saw it with his own eyes in memory, the Grand Duchess described it to him more than once, so Dean still remembers it .

And after his finger touched the target, he was even more confirmed——
