The Magic Thief Chapter 4:

For Ruibo, there is obviously little hope of finding the only souvenir that his mother left him. First of all, he doesn't know where the killer lives? Even if he finds the assassin, Ribo is absolutely not sure to get the necklace back from the ruthless assassin.

In fact, when Ribo discovered that the assassin was named Kyle and lived in the other corner of the house, the second question bothered him deeply.

Kierle is a gloomy and lonely person. Although they live in the same house, Ribo only occasionally sees him. Kierle rarely walks out of the room, even if he is dining. He never went to the living room below, and shared with the boss and Eckert. The butler himself brought three meals a day into his room.

Ribo noticed that no one in this house was willing to stay with Kyle. Eckert chose a room away from Kyle for himself. It was not completely unreasonable. In fact, most people were Live in the western half away from Kyle.

Even for thieves, Kyle is an extremely dangerous person.

Ribo's heart hesitated between his mother's relic and the dangerous killer.

Love finally conquered fear. When Ribo finally stood in front of Kyle’s door, he didn’t even know where he got such courage.

Knocked gently on the door. This is the politeness that Ribo has always known, and he doesn't even need Eckert to teach.

"Open the door yourself and come in." A hoarse voice came from the room.

The voice was like a dying wolf, howling in a low voice while panting. This hoarse voice stimulated Ribo's eardrums.

Open the door.

The door is quite heavy, the room is dark, and the curtains are tightly pulled so that only a little bit of sunlight can penetrate.

A bed, a chair, a table, these are all things Ribo can see.

"What can I do?" The hoarse voice came from behind.

Ribo was taken aback, and he turned around.

Only a pair of eyes gleaming like beasts in the dark.

Ribo has never seen anyone whose eyes glow green like a wolf.

The killer in front of him is obviously a diabolical and dangerous character.

Although Ribo decided to face Kyle bravely, he had already planned how to deal with this ruthless killer. However, when those gleaming green eyes leaned in front of him, Ribo's mind suddenly became blank.

"You knocked on my door, didn't you waste my time, did you?" The speaker was obviously getting a little impatient.

"It was originally time for swordsmanship and horsemanship practice, but my course is over. Eckert thinks that I can learn more advanced skills. You are a master in this area..." Ruibo even thought about it. Without thinking, the perfect lie came out.

Ribo didn't even dare to mention the matter of returning to that necklace when faced with this demonic and terrifying killer.

"Eckert asked you to learn the skills of killing people from me?" Kelller was obviously a little confused. Although Mr. Hyde told him that Eckert was planning an unprecedented plan that had never been done before, but the specific content of the plan, He is not quite clear.

"You wait, I'll ask Mr. Hyde, what's the matter?" Kelller said.

"Oh, if you don't have time, I can practice on my own." Ribo said flusteredly, he didn't want to make things bigger.

"Stay here and wait until I come back. Don't leave, okay?" The husky voice was so conclusive, obviously there was no room for bargaining.

After that, Kyle stepped out of the room and closed the door easily.

Standing in the dark room, Ribo felt uneasy and filled with regret.

Maybe getting the necklace back from a demonic killer is not a task I can do.

Maybe I shouldn't have entered this room at all.

Ribo was even able to confirm that the lie just now will be engraved on his tombstone as an epitaph, and add a sentence below, a stupid man sang such a stupid lie in front of a killer, so that Ended his stupid life.

Ribo prayed secretly in his heart, and may God bless him.

As long as he can get forgiveness from the demonic killer, he is even willing to accept any punishment, even if he was lying in bed for a month like that last time, he was willing.

Ribo knelt there and prayed devoutly, hoping to be kindly saved by the gods.

In the lounge, Mr. Hyde was thinking about things with his head down.

Eckert is sitting next to him, while Kyle is standing in the shadows in a corner of the room.

This lounge is where Mr. Hyde usually spends the most time. The layout is completely different from the study.

The lounge is filled with precious artworks from all over the world.

The paintings of different regions and their own unique styles are hung against the wall.

Among them are majestic oil paintings based on ancient mythology from Xibai, exquisite portraits from Yi Lei, mountain and forest scenery paintings from Dalizhi, and pastoral scenery paintings from the island country of Yingge. In addition, there are extremely rare paintings of human and local customs from Eastern countries. Among them, the most valuable are undoubtedly those stunning masterpieces that came from the more distant East and painted with completely different aesthetic concepts and painting techniques. Artists from the Far East can use different shades of black paint and simple The brush strokes create wonderful pictures. These works from the Far East are mostly scenery or single flowers and plants, animals, fish and shrimps, such natural themes, but few figures and portraits.

In the center of the room, there are several armchairs placed in a circle. The armchairs are made of strong and lightweight rattan. The rattan chairs are covered with layers of precious animal furs. The lion of West worship And lynx skins, rich bear skins, fox skins, leopard skins, mink skins, rhino skins, and crocodile skins from Yi Lei.

The thick fur makes the wicker chair soft and warm.

Mr. Hyde and Eckert obviously know how to enjoy everything. A screen made of ivory isolates the door from the lounge, and the feathers of various rare birds dot the room. Mr. Hyde is obviously quite the same. Like peacocks. The bright emerald color of peacock feathers became the main color here.

Looking against the corner of the room, there is a bronze-cast stove. I don't know what incense is lit in it. With wisps of green smoke, a refreshing fragrance fills the room.

"That kid wants to be your disciple?" Mr. Hyde asked in silence for a while.

"He said that Eckert ordered this." Kyle replied.

"Your results are pretty good." Mr. Hyde said with a smile at Eckert.

"Yeah, a stupid but excellent lie, but I haven't taught him a course in deception yet." Eckert also smiled and said, "Do you want him to suffer? Let him remember To live a real deception, it must be carefully planned and carefully considered?"

Hearing Eckert’s suggestion, Mr. Hyde fell into deep thought again, and it took a while before he raised his head and said, "Didn’t you mention to me the series of accidents about Surthburg? You? Didn’t you also ask Kierle to assist you? Okay, Kierle, you just accept that student, give him the skills to use weapons and avoid danger, and give you a month to make the kids a minimum Hunter. I think this will be very helpful to our plan."

"What can I teach him in one month?" Kelller obviously didn't have much confidence in education.

"Let him be able to distinguish what can be eaten and which foods are mixed with poison, teach him how to distinguish and stay away from danger, teach him the benefits of standing in the shadows, teach him how to escape from desperation , And teach him one or two skills that can be used for self-defense. The kid can’t always stay under your protection, he at least needs to face two guys like thugs on the street alone, and be able to solve them quickly Drop."

"I will do my best." Kyle agreed.

"Eckert, how many studies have the kids not completed yet?" Mr. Hyde asked.

"It's almost the same, but the Sibai language is still a little bit worse. It can be used in daily life, but it may not be enough in some occasions." Eckert replied, "Besides, other There is no problem with etiquette."

"Very good, can I ask Fiss to start arranging the trial? Let the children show off his learning results." Mr. Hyde asked.

"Yes," Eckert replied affirmatively.

"Then, it will be a month later. This month, you and Firth will prepare well, and the kids will give it to me and Kyle. The Sibai language has been useless for a long time, a little forgotten, Eckert, you Bring me a Spanish dictionary, okay?" Mr. Hyde asked.

Eckert agreed and retreated with Kyle.

Back to his room, Kyle saw Ribo kneeling on the ground at a glance. The pale face and trembling appearance made the ruthless assassin see what he was thinking at a glance.

"Get up, Mr. Hyde said, since you plan to learn more advanced fighting skills, you will follow me from today. This month, the'actor' has something to teach you. Starting today, you Moving here to live, I also gave you a timetable, you have one month to adapt to it. "This timetable starts at 3 o’clock in the morning, don’t be surprised, what I teach you is not like Eckert is so easy and easy to master, because you not only have to print everything into your brain, but also use your body to remember it firmly. "Kierle's sharp eyes can see everything clearly even in the dark. He stared at Rebo's pale face and panicked eyes and said: "Get up at three o'clock, you have to learn not to disturb anyone to walk outside the house, this Everyone living in this house is extremely alert except you. You must learn this first.

"Before five o’clock, it’s time for you to learn to run. The actor has never taught you this. Because he is a liar, the liar doesn’t have to run away without his life, but we killers are completely different. Escape is the only way to save your life. The trick.

"A most powerful killer, maybe he has nothing to brag about, but his ability to conceal his actions and escape skills must be top-notch. "After five o'clock, I will teach you how to be a killer. Everything you know is completely different from a liar and a thief. As a killer, there are not many things to learn, but more importantly, the mastery of these skills.

"In the afternoon, I will give you a fighting class. That is another skill that is different from swordsmanship. The fighting skills I teach you are far less fancy, direct blows than swordsmanship. For the killer, forever It's more practical than entangled fighting. "I think two hours of training should be enough. The rest of the time you stay with Mr. Hyde. At night, when you come back here to sleep, you have to learn to sit curled up or sleep standing up, and stay alert when sleeping, just like most people in this house. It is impossible for these ‘actors’ to teach you. "

Speaking of this, Kyle walked to the table, took out an object from the drawer of the table, and handed it to Ribo.

The light in the house is too dim, and Ruibo can’t see what it is. By touching it, he can roughly tell that the thing is a long strip of half a foot long, which is made of various metal materials. A device, but I don’t know what it is for.

"You stand at the window, don’t open the curtains, you have to slowly adapt to the darkness, although you will be a liar like Eckert in the future, for the liar, the brightly lit place is the best for you , But who knows, you will encounter any danger in the future. "I tell you that most dangers come from the shadows. If you want to avoid that kind of danger, you must first become familiar with the darkness. After you adapt to the darkness, you You will deeply feel that the best way to avoid danger is to be in the same darkness. Darkness can protect you and make it easier to stay away from danger. The light is to make you a more conspicuous target. "

According to Kelller’s instructions, Ruibo walked to the window. Under the dim sunlight from the window, Ruibo finally saw the object in his hand. The strange shape made Ruibo puzzled. This thing fell. What is it used for? 

Just as Ribo was puzzled, he stretched out a hand silently from behind.

Ribo was scared.

The hand was skillfully pulled and turned over to completely open the object held by Ruibo. It turned out to be an exquisite hand crossbow. The steel crossbow arm is tightly connected with hinges. The sturdy string, which does not know what material is used, fastens the two sections of the crossbow firmly.

When the crossbow arm is folded, it can be easily stored in the support rod. There is a deep groove on the support rod, which is where the crossbow arrow is placed.

The entire crossbow is fully opened, not much larger than the palm of your hand.

"You are a novice, and I don’t have much time. I can’t teach you too much. Mr. Hyde asked me to teach you some self-defense skills. That will be something you will need in the future. This is a small crossbow. Here you are, this is an adversary thing that I killed back then. It is not of much use to me, but it is just suitable for you. "This thing is quite exquisitely made, and it is not large when folded. It can be placed in your pocket. in. Although the crossbow arm is very short, the force of the crossbow arrow shot is definitely not small. It can easily shoot a fully armed guard within 50 meters. If it is used at close range even against a knight in heavy armor, there is no problem. . The only thing you have to train is to increase your hit rate. "

Kierle’s generosity apparently surprised Ribo, and Kierle’s fascination also made Ribo sweat all over his body.

"Fold the crossbow."

According to Kelller's instructions, Ribo started a new course.

For Ribo, although he has absolutely no interest in becoming a killer, the new knowledge is obviously quite interesting to him.

Ribo has always believed that killers are desperadoes who sneak into other people's rooms and stab daggers into the chests of sleeping people.

He only knows now that although he originally imagined it to be generally good, being a killer is not that simple.

Any killer is a construction expert, and they have to be able to tell at a glance where secret passages and secret doors may be placed.

The killer also needs to have a wealth of knowledge about drugs, and their sense of smell and taste can distinguish various types of poisonous smoke and poison.

The killer needs to be skilled in manipulating various vehicles, from the single kayak used by barbarians, to the light sailing ship often used for offshore shipping that was originally controlled by six talents, as for the control and use of carriages and horses. , There is nothing to say.

Compared with the equestrian skills Eckert taught him, the equestrian skills that a killer needs to master are much more difficult.

Because when escaping, there may not necessarily be a horse waiting there, and the horse rushing to escape may not be so docile, and absolutely obey the order.

Therefore, for the killer, it is a very important skill for the killer to subdue a bad horse in an instant, and ride a **** horse to escape without any harness.

In addition, jumping down from a fast-running horse is also an escape method often used by killers.

That is an advanced riding skill that requires skill and courage.

Ribo finally learned this hand, and of course the price paid for it was huge. Although he didn't break his hands and feet, the bruises and bruises all over his body also caused him pain for several days.

However, these are not the most difficult skills to master.

The early morning long-distance running practice in a day of training is the most difficult test.

For the killer, running away is definitely not as simple as running easily on the flat grass.

Jump over the bush-grown trenches, draw down a rocky **** full of sharp blades, climb up the soft mountainous terrain that may collapse at any time, and run wildly along the icy creek. This is the route for the killer to escape.

Not only that, but Ruibo has to avoid arrows that fly from all directions at any time. For killers, bows and arrows are the most frequently encountered and least popular thing for them, although the bows and arrows used in practice are early The arrow has been removed, but the pain of shooting on the body still exists.

The time spent with Kyle is always full of tension and a strong sense of crisis, even when sleeping, it is not peaceful. Although Ribo could not sleep standing up like a horse, he has been curled up in a corner to sleep every day since he lived with Kyle, even though he was tied tightly with a rope to keep this place for the first few days. Such a gesture, but soon after, Ruibo got used to it.

The only thing I haven’t mastered is to be vigilant in his sleep. In fact, after a day’s fatigue, when he returned to the corner that belonged to him, Ruibo quickly fell into a deep sleep. It is impossible to be vigilant in sleep. One thing that can be done completely.

Although Ribo can't do anything to satisfy Kyle at this point, but other than that, Kyle can't fault him.

The best performance among them is undoubtedly shooting and fighting training.

In Kyle’s opinion, Ribo is a natural skill-type warrior. Although he does not have a tall stature and tyrannical strength, his excellent flexibility and precise shooting skills undoubtedly make him even in the face of powerful When the opponent is, it will not be dead.

For Ruibo, fighting is not one of his favorite items. If it is elegant swordsmanship skills, he is quite interested. When in Nangang, there are often public swordsmanship performances. Xibai people are the most loyal fans and experts in this field. Although swordsmanship performances are not as popular as circus and fashion shows, because there are many Xibai people who come out of Nangang, The audience will never be missing.

While in Nangang, Ruibo was fascinated by this crystal of power and art.

But the fighting skills that Kelller taught him are completely unsatisfactory.

The weapon Kyle gave him was a dagger, a thin and sharp dagger like a paper knife, without guards and long grips. Obviously this is definitely not a defensive weapon, even parry is impossible.

The tricks taught by Kellle are also extremely simple and purely offensive methods. The trick is only how to increase the speed and hit rate of the attack, how to cut the blood vessels in the throat and neck, or to cut the muscles. And ligaments.

Such a light and thin dagger is not suitable for piercing the heart. Although Kyle has not forgotten to teach himself assassination, he also warns that piercing with a dagger is not reliable, if there are other If you can start, it's best to dispel the strong desire to pierce the opponent's heart with the dagger.

However, Ribo wished he didn't have to use the skills of Kellle to deal with anyone.

I don't know why, Ruibo loves the small and exquisite hand crossbow. Although it is also a murder weapon, Ruibo doesn't have too much burden in his heart. As soon as he had time, Ruibo went to the shooting range in the backyard to practice.

Without even aiming, Ruibo can easily hit the bullseye 50 meters away, shoot flying birds, or ride on a light-backed horse to shoot fixed targets. For Ruibo It is not very difficult.

Practicing shooting is what Ribo is most interested in besides staying with Mr. Hyde to practice his Spanish.

This class was conducted in the treasure chest that anyone except Kierle would never be able to enter without Mr. Hyde's call.

The Booty Pavilion is actually Mr. Hyde’s private lounge, where Mr. Hyde spends most of the day.

The treasures displayed in the Treasure Pavilion are all treasures that Mr. Hyde has spent his entire life collecting.

The time spent in this lounge full of precious artworks is what excites Ruibo most.

Every time at this time, Ruibo always feels that he has achieved his dream and completed the feat of traveling around the world. The strange art treasures are the crystallization of different cultures from all over the world.

This treasure chest contains all kinds of rare treasures that Ruibo has seen, never seen, heard of, or heard of. And these rare and precious treasures are not those vulgar gold and silver, Xuanhua's jewelry can be compared.

Every treasure here indicates a different civilization.

It is also gold and silver, a gold necklace with gems inlaid by a Francis handicraft workshop, and a unique craft from Yi Lei. The gold is twisted into filaments and then weaved one by one, using colorful The enamel decoration is inlaid with a necklace of scattered gems, which is totally different from the same day.

In addition to those treasures, Ribo also likes Mr. Hyde very much.

In his opinion, Mr. Hyde, like his old club, is an amiable old man.

It's just that Mr. Hyde is richer and more knowledgeable.

Ribo clearly knows one thing. Mr. Hyde is arguably the best connoisseur he has ever seen.

Eckert can also be called an excellent connoisseur, but he often has to rely on books to determine the origin of something.

However, Mr. Hyde is completely different. He seems to be able to tell at a glance where the object came from, a masterpiece of that era, and sometimes even can clearly state the place of origin.

Among all the collections, Ruibo is most interested in a model of a sailing ship that is actually carefully crafted according to the real original.

The hull is made of oak, which is also the main raw material used to make real ships. The deck is covered with red pine wood floors, and all the railings, the decorations and inlaid laces on the ship are carved from walnut, and the goddess of dawn statue carved from a whole piece of white locust wood is hung tightly on the bow of the ship.

The name of the ship "Horn of Light Sail" is clearly engraved on the warehouses on the sides and stern of the model.

Ribo gently moved the rudder and the winch that manages the sails. Like a real ship, they can all work smoothly.

"You seem to like my sailboat very much." An old voice in Xibai came from behind, and it was Mr. Hyde. It seemed that his nap today was extremely sweet, and he obviously didn't pay much attention to the time.

Ribo quickly put his hand to the side and stayed in this house for so long, and Ribo was not surprised at all for everyone's appearance.

"Yes, this is the most exquisite model I have ever seen. It's just like the real one." Ribo also replied in Sibai.

"It used to be a ship that sailed freely on the ocean. I used to be the second mate on this ship." Mr. Hyde sighed.

Ribo has long been used to this. Mr. Hyde's class is the easiest way to talk to each other in Sibai.

"You must have been to many places?" Ribo asked.

"I have indeed been to many places. I have been to Bergert in the east, I have seen Thors riding horses and wielding machetes, I have been to Linti in the more east, and I have seen that they have been passed down for three thousand years. The ancient country of Linti. The furthest I have been to China in the Far East, I have seen a metropolis with more than three million people." Mr. Hyde said slowly in Western dialect.

Although Ribo does not fully understand, he is obviously full of strong and unstoppable curiosity about these things.

"Begert’s Thor people are really good at forging swords. Can the scimitars they make can cut our swords easily? I used to see spices shipped from Yi Lei in Nangang before. Those The merchant said that Bergert is rich in spices, and people wear gold and silver. Emperor Thor’s palace is built from the whole marble and is called the richest country. Isn’t that the case? What kind of country is Linti? Mr. Hyde, Are you talking about Qi Na, the country in the far east that produces porcelain?" Ruibo asked a series of questions.

"The scimitars made by the Thor people are indeed sharp, but when it comes to wealth, they are far inferior to Linti and China. In fact, Linti is the real land of spices. The spice is extremely precious here. It’s not surprising at all. In addition to spices, Linti is also rich in gold and gems. It is a veritable rich country. "As for Kina, it’s a strange country. What they say and write are different from any country. They do not have letters, so to express their meaning, they must remember thousands of completely different words. The strangest thing is that the country does not believe in gods, they have no religion, and their beliefs are their ancestors.

"That country has a strange culture and an extremely prosperous city. Their city usually has a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are several cities with more than one million. This is unimaginable in any other country, except for porcelain and silk. It is also a special product unique to this country, and their paintings have nothing in common with other countries." The old man pointed to several paintings hanging on the wall and said.

"You're really an erudite person, even Eckert doesn't know these things." Ribo sighed. It's not that he's flattering.

"You like sailing very much?" the old man asked.

"When I was in Nangang, the sailors were the ones I envied the most. By the way, Mr. Hyde, how did you become a sailor and travel the world?" Ribo asked.

"My hometown is also Nangang. When I was a child, I also envied those sailors. At that time, Nangang was just a small town just built by the sea. Even the wharf was not built yet, and I wanted to board and moor outside the harbor. The big ships of Japan must ferry through sampans, and the transport of goods also depends on those sampans. Are those sampans still available?" Mr. Hyde asked.

"Yes, but there are very few."

"Really? At that time, we counted on these sampans. When I was your age, I bought a small sampan in partnership with two friends, and I helped people deliver goods every day and saved all the money I earned. When I got up, the small sampan was replaced with a large sampan. At the same time, I learned a lot of marine skills from the crew members who passed by.

"When we raised a sum of money, the three of us decided to sell the sampan and found a boat to work on. The sailor’s life was hard and there was no money, but every time we went to a city, three of us Individuals took out all their savings to prepare some goods. We had heard from sailors, what special products are available in those cities, and which goods can be sold at a good price. When we come and go, we have made a lot of money. Fortune, the ship that I work on is the "Horn of Light Sail" in front of you. This is a clipper that specializes in walking offshore. From Yilei to Nangang, this kind of ship was the most at that time."

"It's the same now." Ribo interrupted.

"However, the last voyage of'Horn of Light Sail' unfortunately became a disaster. At that time, Yi Lei and Thor had a war, and all the ships that docked in Yi Lei's territory were requisitioned as warships, and we could not escape. In any port, there is still a team of soldiers stationed on the ship.

"Shortly after the war began, our ships were dispatched as transport ships to transport food and supplies. It was an extremely dangerous channel. The narrow sea was full of Thor fleets, and we had several times with Those fleets met, relying on the flexible advantages of fast sailing boats to hide in extreme danger, but in the end our good luck ran out and the "Horn of Light Sail" loaded with food met the huge fleet of Thors.

"The captain stationed on our ship was a stubborn guy. He didn't allow the crew to throw food into the sea. Seeing the Thor people chasing closer and closer, my friend killed the captain and there was a scuffle on the ship. In the end, the small group of soldiers was subdued by us, and we also sacrificed more than half, including my friend. "After throwing away the food, we finally escaped the Tor’s chase, but it is impossible to return to Yi Lei. Go, any port of Ilei will arrest us all, and the port of Thor will not welcome us either. In order to escape, we had to carefully travel further east along the shoreline of Thor. "

"Why don't you sail in the opposite direction so that you can return to France?"

"Yilei owns a large number of fast sailing boats. We can't escape. Thor's boat is far less flexible and fast than ours. Therefore, east is the only way to survive. We drive all the way east, hunting along the road at any time to supplement supplies, and finally come. Arrived in the city of Maia in Linti.

"There we thought everything was safe there. We didn’t expect that the hot weather made most of the people on the ship contract incurable diseases, and there was no priest on the ship. Seeing the sailors die in pain, one by one, even the captain. Another friend of mine and I also died. The remaining sailors and I left the Horn of Light Sail, passed through the dense tropical rain forest, over the mountains and ridges, and finally came to Kina.

"Compared with other countries in the Far East, this strange country obviously has a more developed civilization, but that is a culture that we cannot understand. Obviously, our appearance is also extremely novel to them. One thing, their emperor summoned us. You can’t imagine that the king of Kina didn’t live in a palace at all. It was a city, a city completely owned by him, and that city was even bigger than ours. Most cities are larger, and the King of Kina is very interested in the stories we tell him, and he generously rewarded us with many things."

"It must be quite precious." Ruibo said with envy.

"Of course, the most common porcelain and silks shipped from China can be sold at the best price in France, and the gift that the emperor gave me is the best of the best. The porcelain gleamed like gems, and the silk and satin had the color of gold. When we set off from Kina, each of us was covered with porcelain and silk. As long as we can return to France, this will be a huge sum of money. Wealth.

"From Kina, we crossed the desert, bypassed the war-torn Polonia, crossed the Solan Mountains, and returned to Francis via Derry. Many of our companions died on the way, and we were able to return There are only two people in my hometown."

"It's so great, you must have made a fortune now." Ruibo said with excitement.

"No, the long journey made us all understand that life is far more important than wealth. I am very lucky to be able to return to my hometown alive. The gift that the generous Emperor gave me has already been lost. It's halfway."

"It's a pity, but your experience is the most precious treasure. If one day, I can have such an experience worthy of my life's memory. By the way, you did not follow your original The route goes to the distant Kina, to visit the generous Emperor Kina?"

"Impossible. Since the Thors won that war, they cut off the sea and land passages. At that time, we were desperate. Now, no crew member wants to try to cross the death route frantically. "The old man explained.

"So, among the two people who went back to France, what is the other's name?" Ribo asked.

"Mal Duffin. He originally took care of the accounts on the ship." The old man said, apparently after such a long time, the name still remained deep in his memory.

"Mair Duffin!" Ruibo exclaimed: "The chairman of Nangang's Chamber of Commerce, the richest and most influential person in Nangang."

Ribo can't imagine that the actual ruler of Nangang and this Mr. Hyde are companions who were born and died together.

"He is also the internal affairs and financial adviser of Surthburg, and the personal close friend of the Bishop." The old man added.

"Will you meet with Sir Dauphin later?" Ribo asked. Everyone in Nangang knows that because of his outstanding contributions to the prosperity of Nangang, Mr. Mel Duffin was awarded the title of lord by His Majesty the King, and civilians were awarded the title of nobility, which is a great honor.

"We each have a lot of things to be busy with, and we really can’t find time to meet. However, I have never forgotten this old man, presumably he is the same, sometimes, for some things that he is not convenient to come forward to deal with. , He will ask me to help. Over the years, we have cooperated fairly well."

As for what Mr. Hyde said, although Ribo still has some things he doesn't understand, he at least knows one thing, that is, Mr. Hyde is definitely not an ordinary thief. Neither Pem, Eckert nor Kyle are ordinary thieves, and Mr. Hyde is obviously even more so.

And the action they planned must have an inside story that shocked him. Ruibo faintly felt that he was involved in a terrible conspiracy, and this conspiracy was far from a successful one. Fraud is as simple as that.

There was a mess in his mind, and Ribo didn't pay much attention to the next answer.

Sibai training finally ended as the sun gradually set to the west.

The time after dinner belongs to Kyle. Practicing keen perception in the dark is the best exercise before going to bed.

Ribo forced himself to recover from the state of hesitation. After all, Kelller's training is absolutely impossible to deal with the past easily.

Wearing thin, soft-soled shoes, Ruibo is like a cat walking silently in the dark, bypassing the obstacles placed in the house, carefully avoiding that it can be easily worn on the ground A sharp blade that penetrates the bottom of the foot.

Although the current Ruibo can't see things in the pitch black as clearly as during the day like Kelller, but at least it has been able to distinguish small objects, especially those shiny metals.

Moving his body forward slightly, his toes keenly felt any objects hit in front of him, especially those blades that could cut his feet, and Ruibo moved from the door to the window.

"Not bad!" A hoarse voice came from behind.

Ribo is not at all surprised that Kyle suddenly appears behind him. Now he knows the difference in strength between himself and Kyle.

"You have learned well. If you are going to escape now, no one else in this house knows except I can feel it." Kelller said coldly.

"No, I never thought about running away." Ribo explained. He has never forgotten the three quill pens that pierced the bed.

"Then why do you want to learn assassin skills from me?" Kyle asked coldly.

"This...this..." Ruibo hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to be honest and tell. In fact, he also knew that a lie was absolutely impossible for this clever killer to believe.

"The necklace you took from my Aunt Betty is actually the only relic left to me by my mother. I originally wanted to return that necklace." Ribo said cautiously.

"Just for that worthless necklace?" Kyle stared at Ribo for a long time, trying to find a trace of a lie on his face, but obviously, all of this is true.

"If it's for that necklace, you can find it in the bottom drawer. Go and get it yourself." Kelller said.

There was ecstasy in Ruibo's heart. He thanked him again and again, and walked gently to the table, where the most blades were inserted.

Bumping his toes, Ribo gently opened the drawer. In the dark, he tried to distinguish the messy things stacked in the drawer.

Finally found the necklace that was of great significance to him.

"Kierle, thank you, and give me this necklace." Ribo said gratefully.

In the darkness, Kierle nodded and said: "It's good. Even when you are excited, you have not forgotten to be careful. Being able to find the necklace in the drawer shows that you already have a pair of killer night eyes. , This month’s time, you have not wasted. From today, you can go back to your own room. The day after tomorrow, Eckert will come back. You’d better be ready for the trial. For you, it will This is your first time acting alone. You can go now."

Hearing Kyle's instructions, Riber had to go back to his room obediently.

The room has been unoccupied for a long time, but fortunately the servants came in to clean it every day, but it was spotless.

It's still early, and Ribo is not sleepy at all. Kyle's course is over. The next few days will be a rare vacation for him.

This was originally a fortunate thing, but, for some reason, Ribo felt unhappy at all.

He is not yet mentally prepared enough.

He doesn't want to be a criminal, a man who makes a living by fraud.

Since getting along with Eckert, Mr. Hyde, and Kyle for so long, Ribo has always had a question. The three of them can be said to be extremely knowledgeable people, who can be called supernatural and powerful.

They don't seem to have to live by deception and murder.

In fact, after several months of training, Ruibo believes that he can live a very happy life with the things he has learned.

Why should they be liars, thieves, and killers? 

Ribo couldn't figure it out.

Will it be like this in your future? 

Ribo is always worried about this matter.

In fact, Ruibo didn't think about running away again.

As Kelller said, I can indeed avoid most people's eyes and ears now.

But Kyle will definitely find out.

The longer you get along with Kyle, the more Ribo feels his power.

Mr. Hyde once said a word.

"If there is a one-on-one duel, no matter what kind of opponent it is, Kyle will definitely be able to get an absolute victory."

This sentence was deeply reflected in Ribo's mind.

Actually everyone who lives in this house thinks so.

It is absolutely impossible to escape from Kyle’s hands.

However, following Mr. Hyde's wishes and becoming the principal culprit of a fraudulent conspiracy was also extremely disturbing to him.

Although Ruibo is not a devout believer, he also believes that the gods bless the good people. He comforts the upright people with a kind heart, makes them happy and peaceful, and uses justice to punish the wicked and let them The sin deserves it.

Ribo’s original life was really like this. He worked in the store in peace and contentment. Although he was bullied by the second shopkeeper, he always hoped that he could finish his apprenticeship smoothly.

Usually learning to settle accounts with the shopkeeper, as long as you can skilfully clear the accounts, and check the monthly profit, the purchase and delivery situation, you will definitely be able to get out of the limelight in Nangang. Arithmetic, one day I can surpass this bad guy.

Next, I’ll wait for the qualifications. After ten or eight years, I should be able to be promoted to the position of procurement or chief executive. If you have the opportunity, you can also go to sea with the young master to the neighboring Xibai and Yilei. Go to the port to buy goods, so that you can realize your wish and increase your income. From then on, you don't need to worry about life.

This is his original vision for the future.

But now, he has become Ribo Byndit, a direct descendant of an unknown nobleman, an important tool in a huge fraud conspiracy.

I don’t know what my ending will be like.

Whether he spent the rest of his life miserably in prison, or was hung high on the gallows.

As long as he thinks of this, Ribo feels extremely worried. He can only pray devoutly to the gods, asking for forgiveness and merciful relief from the gods.
