182 Theft

When the night shrouded the stone-made town.

No one noticed that a thin figure who was dressed in a gray cloak almost blended with the night, sneaked into the building of the Belita Adventurers Guild.

The Adventurer Guild is always open all day, but few adventurers will come at night, so the hall is dimly lit, and even the duty staff responsible for handling emergency affairs is only a few. As for the four legendary stone guardians who have been sitting in the hall during the day, they are all going to rest at this moment...

However, there are still people at the trading counters of the Four Major Halls.

The Adventurer Guild's branches are spread throughout the mainland, not only have the function of collecting information from all over the country, but also build a huge trading network across the kingdom.

Compared with the rare and high-end royal auction houses, the privately owned shops of the Chamber of Commerce that take the special affordable route, and the free market spontaneously formed by adventurers, this trading platform provided by the Adventurers Guild is definitely the most formal, most reputable and most widely covered commodity circulation platform in the Kingdom of Carl!

Even in a remote and small place, you may see some good things that are not visible to other channels at the trading counter of the Adventurers Guild.

For example...a portion of dragon blood.

The four major sub-houses of the Belita Adventurers Guild are unified on the left side of the entrance. The magic blackboard placed on the counter contains a list of products. The blackboards of the four major sub-houses are permanently synchronized, similar to the magic sand table that conveys messages... This is because the goods warehouse is originally the same, located on the second floor of the Cross Gallery area. If any product is sold out, the four blackboards will be erased synchronously.

This sneaky, thin figure seemed to be very familiar with the structure of the Belita Adventurers Guild. After sneaking in from the Warriors' Division, he took advantage of the yawning of the duty staff and quietly rushed to the second floor of the Cross Gallery.

The warehouse is mainly protected.

There is not only a strong gatekeeper, but also a faintly glowing magic circle surrounding it!

But the thin figure wrapped the gray cloak tighter on his body. He held his breath and tiptoed, and slipped over under the gatekeeper's nose, without even the magic circle at all!

It was not until two hours later that a staff member entered the warehouse to pick up the goods. As soon as he entered, he rushed out in panic.

The next moment, the alarm bell was ripped off and the lights were all bright!

The entire Adventurer Guild was suddenly lively, and all the sleeping staff got up in a hurry. Even the four legendary stone guardians gathered quickly. Everyone stared at the warehouse gatekeeper, waiting for a reasonable explanation.

The gatekeeper is an 8-star intermediate archer with great strength!

But he looked a little guilty at this moment. He first consciously drank a bottle of real spitting agent, and then stuttered: "Four seniors, I have always been sober and have never relaxed... I swear to the goddess that I really haven't seen anyone in..."

A piece of dragon blood is too valuable and he will never be able to bear the loss.

"Don't be nervous, I believe you didn't lie." The stone guardian of the Archer's branch hall spoke first - the middle-aged man with a black paint longbow patted the other person's shoulder to show comfort, as if he was familiar with the gatekeeper.

"It's a bit troublesome. If you can't even find any abnormality in the mental power of the 8-star archer, the thief's strength must be at least a high-level adventurer... When did another high-level adventurer appear in this small place of Belita?" Ulysses, the guardian of the warrior stone statue, frowned deeply.

"No, it's not necessarily a high-level adventurer. Some enchantments or alchemy potions can also be hidden from the world, such as invisible potions." The elderly magician Heser added thoughtfully.

"Don't forget, what is lost is dragon blood! This thing is most useful to warriors with low levels, right? Shouldn't we search all the homes of all the warriors in Belita immediately?" Ms. Sarbella, the stone statue guardian of the priest's branch hall, squealed.

"Your reasons are not sufficient." Ulysses's expression suddenly became a little unhappy.

"Wait... what is the price of a dragon blood?" Hesel seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned around to ask the trading counter staff around him.

"This is the lowest-level dragon blood, with a price of 1,000 gold tower." The counter staff quickly answered.

"One thousand gold towers... the dragon blood that is most useful to warriors... and there is also the stolen sooner or later, but it happened tonight..." Hessel's face gradually became solemn, "Everyone! Stop fighting, I may know who the thief is."

———————

As soon as the sky was dawn, Daren was called to the Adventurers Guild.

The four stone statue guardians on the opposite side stared at him in one go, and the brunette boy felt a little confused!

"Don't be afraid, kid, can you say it again, the whole process of Quincy attacking you yesterday? We need to know all the details." Hessel said softly.

Delan couldn't figure it out, but he still said it from beginning to end.

"You said he attacked you to steal your Jintata? Ha? How many Jintata can you have as a mercenary?" Saberagi said.

"I plan to buy a ticket to Jumo City in a few days..." Dairen said honestly.

"Do you have more than 150 gold towers?" The intermediate priest suddenly covered his mouth and exclaimed.

"That's right." Hesel nodded slowly, "Everything makes sense. Everyone, do you remember that Quincy rewarded him with a total of 800 Jintatas because of the important information about Quincy's discovery of 'trolls'? If you add 150 of Deren and a junior adventurer, you should have some savings. Is it just enough to buy dragon blood?"

"So I guess that Quincy's attack on Deren is probably the real purpose of this dragon blood!"

"Quncy is a junior warrior. I don't need to emphasize how effective dragon blood is on him. He already has sufficient motivation... and yesterday he failed to attack Daren, and Daren escaped by chance. Quincy knew that he would be questioned by the real medicine, so he took the risk and robbed the dragon blood at night and flew away directly, which is very likely!"

"As for how he did it, I noticed that Daren mentioned just now that Quincy was wearing a gray cloak yesterday... Everyone, a gray cloak can also cover up the breath and hide the body. Didn't you think of anything?"

"...Abyss Church? No, right?" Sarbella reacted very quickly this time, and her face turned pale.

The other two stone statue guardians looked at each other without losing their composure, but their expressions became shocked and suspicious.

"I'm almost certain that Quincy stole the dragon blood, and where he was going is not difficult to guess." Hessel sighed, "He is probably going to the north of Rosemary Forest! Because no matter where he escapes, we may catch up with him and catch him, but the strange natural maze deep in the Rosemary Forest, once he falls into it, we will never find him!"

"And after taking the dragon blood, his potential has been greatly improved. He will definitely be able to practice to the advanced warrior stage. It's just a matter of time... At that time, he will be able to break the maze by himself and leave with ease!"

"Don't that mean we can't do anything to him? A portion of dragon blood is so cheap?" The guardian of the archer angrily slapped the table, "And the four of us may still be charged with poor supervision. In the end, we may have to pay for the loss of this dragon blood ourselves..."

"You're probably right... who made everything our guess! Without evidence, even if you want to list Quincy as an unpopular adventurer, the headquarters will not agree, let alone the whole mainland is wanted... We're going to have to suffer this loss." Ulysses's face looked even more ugly.

When everyone thought that everyone might have to compensate the headquarters for 250 gold towers and the four legendary stone statue guardians, they all became depressed.

And just then.
