Chapter 040 Inexplicable Mission
After Allen left, Lena walked out of the house and was shocked to see the piles of books.
"You bought these?"
"Yeah, it's not bad." Tang En looked up and smiled, "How about it, do you feel like you are surrounded by knowledge?"
"There are some encirclements, but..." Lina picked up a book and said, "This is pharmacology. Although it is related to doctors, it generally belongs to the category of alchemy. There is also this book "The Effect of Minor Injury Treatment", which belongs to the category of magic and is something of the Temple of Light..."
“…”
Of course, Alan cannot be blamed for this matter. It can only be said that Tang En had no idea about doctors from another world. What he said at that time was about medical books, with such a wide coverage and these books were sold by pounds, so Alan naturally bought them all.
"But that's good, so accumulate more knowledge and prepare for me to become a doctor in the future."
"That's good, that's good!" Tang En touched his nose awkwardly.
Potted plants and other things don’t matter, but books can’t be piled up in the backyard.
Tang En's second-story building did not have a study. After discussion, the two decided to move the books into the hall first, and then take the time to buy a bookshelves. Lina picked some small potted plants and put them in their respective houses.
"There is indeed different for a woman." After a while, the originally monotonous room suddenly became much brighter. Tang En, who had a sensitive sense of smell, always felt a faint fragrance lingering around his nose, and he really felt like home...
After everything was cleaned up, Tang En returned to the room upstairs to start tidying up daggers and other objects.
The letter paper spread on the table, a line of small words appeared on it.
"Mr. Assassin, please arrive at the end of Shilu Lane in Xicheng District at 6 o'clock tonight."
The content is simple and the language is very polite. In addition to the lack of signature and the special identity of the guest, this letter is like an invitation to invite friends to come and visit.
Tang En left the key on the table, thought about it and left the coins on his body with a house deed.
The initial waves in his heart have subsided, and Tang En must go to this "invitation". The other party asked Allen to deliver a letter, clearly indicating that he had already understood him very well. In order to find the system task of ghost face, Tang En would definitely stay in Laiyan City for a month. He could not allow this unsafe factor that could explode at any time to be on the side.
Besides, Tang En also wants to know who the other party is? What is the purpose? How did he see through his identity?
…………
The location of Shilu Lane in Xicheng District is not too remote, and there are many residential houses at the entrance. However, the alley is too deep, so the back is much deserted and many houses have been abandoned.
The largest abandoned house is the one at the end of the alley. If you ask the old man who lives here, he will tell you that it was once a very prosperous aristocratic family. However, due to some changes, the family quickly fell into decline, and later the family moved out of here. The house was also hung in the city affairs hall for consignment, but because the price was too high, few people were interested in it.
However, tonight, the inn at the deserted house was filled with dim lights, and dozens of people were sitting quietly in different positions, as if waiting for something.
These dozens of people have different clothes, including black masked men and leather armored men... From time to time, some people take out daggers, put them in their palms and move flexibly between their fingers, and the cold light flashes, which is dazzling.
Tang En was sitting in the left corner of the hall at this time, but his current image was very vulgar, the image of a dwarf man less than four feet tall. Needless to say, this was of course the credit for the bone shrinkage technique.
Tang En is now confused. When he first came, he thought he was ambushing. Unexpectedly, he just glanced at him and ignored him. When he carefully observed the people around him, he suddenly found that these people were all thieves, and they were thieves with great skills.
What is the situation...
Tang En's expression moved, and everyone in the hall also moved their eyes to the door.
Soon, a trivial footsteps came. The door was pushed open, and a group of black-armored guards armed to their teeth surrounded a man in gray with a black scarf on his face and walked in.
Needless to say, the real masters of these people are here.
The man in gray took two steps forward and bowed and said, "Welcome to you, the senior thief in Laiyan City!" His voice was hoarse, as if his throat was pinched. The people in the hall were experts, so naturally they knew that this man was speaking in a falsetto.
At this time, a man wearing leather armor and indifferent face stood up and said, "No need to say nonsense, are you the client?"
“It’s right down.”
"Okay. Mission, demand, time!"
"Haha, it's good to be honest. Then I'm not polite. My task is to steal something. But before that, you need to be tested, because I only need five top thieves."
“What test?”
The man in gray flipped his right hand and took out a brown wooden box and said, "In this house, there are five such wooden boxes. Whoever gets it will be qualified to take on the task. Of course, we have also arranged some institutions. Everyone is an expert, and I think it will be difficult for you."
Task? Test? After a conversation, Tang En was completely disgusted. Why can’t I understand at all...
Before coming, Tang En thought of various scenes, such as ambush, threats, etc., but now the result is far more nonsensical than he imagined. Tang En now seriously doubts whether he has taken the wrong door.
In a trance, dozens of thieves around had disappeared, and they were obviously looking for the wooden box.
"Is it your letter?" Since I can't figure it out, then just ask.
"Believe? What do you believe?" the man in gray said in surprise.
Damn...became fooled? Could it be that Allen was joking with him? It is impossible, it is obviously abnormal here, and Allen could not know about it.
"Mr. Thieves, don't you try it?" The man in gray asked when he saw that Tang En had been standing there without moving.
Tang En's heart suddenly moved. Could it be that the mysterious man who wrote the letter hoped to participate in this mission?
"What is the content of this mission?"
"Sorry, you need to wait until you get the wooden box."
Tang En nodded. No matter what, his identity is now in the hands of a mysterious person. As long as he still wants to stay in Laiyan City, there is no choice.
Thinking of this, Tang En bowed to the man in gray and left the front hall.
Tang Enlai had roughly observed this house, and many houses were built layer by layer. It is undoubtedly not easy to find a wooden box the size of a palm here. And if this wooden box is placed in a dark grid, it would be even more of a needle in a haystack.
Tang En is a killer, and according to this world, he is an assassin.
In another world, the division between assassins and thieves is not particularly clear, because the boundaries between the two are really easy to cross. Generally speaking, thieves include assassins, and assassins are a kind of thieves who go to extremes! Therefore, there are only thieves unions in the other world, but no assassin unions.
The so-called profession is specialized. If it is to kill people, it is the assassin's profession. But if you slip through the door and pick a lock to find something, it is definitely the thief's strength. Of course, this does not mean that thieves do not kill people. You should know that in the wild, some thieves who act as scouts in some mercenaries are also very good at killing people without blinking.
Tang En recently added a lot of messy information to the system, but it is far from reaching the level of forming a system. He knows nothing about the ability to hunt treasures and locks. As for the current situation, unless you are lucky, it is probably impossible to find a wooden box.
After thinking about it for a while, Tang En made up his mind.
Since it is an assassin, of course it is done according to the assassin's style...
