Chapter 032 The Thief

Gawain then took a bath and put on a clean gray robe.

This kind of robe was bought from the trading area. It may seem inconspicuous, but the materials used are extremely exquisite. It is made of spider silk spun by cave spiders. It is flexible and light, and is much better than the silk worn by nobles.

Of course, the price is also expensive, one piece is sold for one golden dragon.

He actually wanted to buy something cheap, but this was already the lowest level. After all, everyone was a wizard apprentice and they still wanted to have face, so it was impossible for them to engage in low-level jobs.

Afterwards, Gawain locked the door, carried his suitcase, and walked towards the trading area with Crow, planning to make some magic stones before running away while there were still seven days left.

"Quack~~"

Just halfway up the mountain, a crow flew overhead with a strange cry.

Gawain stopped and stretched out his arm. The crow slowly landed on his forearm. He glanced at the cloth strip with "11" written on the crow's left foot and said strangely:

"Xiao Shiyi, why are you here?"

"Quack~~"

The crow flashed its smart eyes and looked back frequently.

Gawain frowned, realized something, raised his hand and let the crow fly.

Walk back quickly.

When Gawain returned to his residence, he suddenly found that the door of his stone house was wide open, and there was the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house. Obviously, someone came to steal while Gawain was away.

Gawain was slightly angry in his heart. Just as he was about to block the person, he retracted his right foot that he had already stepped out because he suddenly realized that even if he showed up at this moment, he would be unable to do anything to the other person.

Because there are regulations in the Bronze Mountain, the same wizard apprentices are prohibited from harming each other.

As long as the other party denies the theft, there is nothing he can do against the other party.

even.

There is also the possibility of being bitten back.

Gawain took a deep breath and quickly made a plan. He did not show up again, but took a dozen steps back and hid in the darkness. Since the Bronze Oath could not be counted on, he had to make the decision himself.

Moreover, there are no valuables in the stone house. He always wears the truly valuable items, such as the demonized items [Soul Ring] and [Skull Ring].

As for the most valuable [Knowledge Leaf], he even made it into a pendant.

It's hanging around the neck.

Even the "Curse Notes" and "Ancestor Notes", as well as several witchcraft books, were lying in his portable suitcase. There was also a large tome "General Knowledge of the Wizarding World" stored in the stone cabinet in the house. ”, and several lore and magic books.

Gawain waited in the dark for a while, and then a dark figure jumped out from the stone house and quickly moved away with two pots of food trees in his arms.

Gawain's face darkened, and he reached out and knocked Crow No. 7 on the head.

No instructions needed.

Crow No. 7 spread its wings and flew up, quietly chasing after him.

Gawain walked out of the darkness and walked quickly towards the stone house. As expected, the stone house was rummaged in a mess. Even the skeleton guarding the stone house was dismantled, leaving only one skull alone and thrown beside the bed.

He quickly picked up the skull, only to find that the soul flame in the skull's eyes had been extinguished.

"Damn it!"

Gawain angrily threw the skull to the ground. If he just wanted to teach the thief a lesson before, now he has murderous intentions.

Although this skeleton is not strong, it is still very hard since it is the physical transformation of a priest. Even though it is falling apart, the bones are still not damaged.

Now that he had lost a right-hand man for nothing, he naturally couldn't let it go.

As for whether he can defeat the thief?

Gawain was not worried. A wizard apprentice who relied on stealing for a living was not a powerful character.

He checked the stone house again and found that two pots of food trees were missing.

There are also a few parchments missing.

Fortunately, probably because the thief was not interested in bugs, the three nests of bugs were all safe, which prevented him from re-breeding them.

"Quack~~"

As soon as Gawain had tidied up the house, Crow Seven finally flew back.

"Lead the way."

“Qua~~”

Gawain gave an order and left the stone house. Crow No. 7 flew slowly ahead to lead the way. He soon left the Bronze Mountain and flew west for about two miles, becoming more and more remote.

Finally, they stopped at a stone pillar near the edge of the Dead Swamp.

Gawain let the crow hide in the dark, and first set himself a [Water Barrier]. He carefully walked around the stone pillar, and saw mushrooms growing more than ten meters away, and a three-meter-square boulder lying there.

Around the boulders, there are more than a dozen weird plants that are as tall as a person, with huge morning glory blooming.

"Piranha!"

Gawain recognized the plant, so he gave up the idea of ​​getting closer. After canceling the [Water Barrier], he quietly hid on the side of the stone pillar, waiting for the other party to show up.

Piranha's attack power is not very strong, but it will scream loudly when it attacks.

That's why.

Some wizard apprentices will choose to plant piranha around their caves, which has a certain warning effect. If the guess is correct, the thief's residence should be hidden under that boulder.

Time passed slowly, and the dead silence and cold environment made him a little uncomfortable.

“Qua~~”

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a slight crow from the top of my head. Gawain was shocked, and then he heard heavy footsteps, and the sound came from behind him.

Gawain was startled and hurriedly hid on the other side of the stone pillar.

"Who? Who's there?"

"Maude saw you!"

A black figure stopped in the distance and opened his mouth to scold.

“Qua~~”

Just when Gawain thought he was exposed, the crow above his head called Seven, flapped his wings and flew away.

"The damn crows will stew you sooner or later."

The black shadow cursed a few times in the distance and continued walking towards this side carrying the heavy package.

Gawain breathed a sigh of relief and silently gave Crow No. 7 a thumbs up. He originally thought that the thief was in the underground residence, but he didn't expect that the thief ran out to steal again.

He first put a [Water Barrier] on himself, and then started to mobilize his magic power.

“Tap tap tap~~~”

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Gawain, who was ready to go, suddenly flashed out from behind the stone pillar, and struck out with an ice arrow as thick as his arm. The ice arrow instantly jumped five meters and passed through his chest.

The huge inertia directly took the person flying out. Just after he let out a scream, another ice arrow directly pierced the opponent's face, and the scream suddenly stopped.

"Whoosh~~~"

"Whoosh~~~"

"Whoosh~~~"

Then three more ice arrows came, nailing the black shadow to the ground.

Gawain ran over quickly with a one-handed sword in his hand, and found that the cloak on the man's head had fallen off, revealing a rat head. The man's rat eyes were frightened, and his whole face was almost smashed by ice arrows.

But the rat man is not dead yet, and is opening his mouth full of blood to say something:

"etc......"

"Puch!"

Gawain was unmoved and slashed the opponent's neck with his sword.

"You...ho ho..."

The rat man gasped violently and his body twitched.

At this time, Crow No. 7 flew back from the dark night, its red eyes flashing with excitement, and pounced on the Rat Man's face. He dug out one of the Rat Man's eyes alive with his claws and swallowed them with a look of satisfaction on his face.

The rat man died slowly in pain and unwillingness.

Compared to the first time he killed someone, Gawain was already used to it. The only difference was that his opponent became a rat wizard apprentice. He picked up the cloak, lifted the body and the package, and directly hit the [Water Barrier] Rush towards the Piranha.

But found that the piranha did not attack.

Gawain was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that he knew that there was something in the rat man that the piranha ignored. He did not waste any time and pushed the big stone on the ground away, revealing a dark crypt.

He first threw the rat man's body into the crypt, and seeing that there were no traps, he got in immediately.
