God's family

The so-called confrontation between the two armies means who has the stronger aura. What is gratifying is that William's deterrent effect on the thieves' union is still quite strong. After threatening his life, Roger and his party responded with a strong force. Momo was worried all the way, but finally managed to move from underground to the ground, and confronted the members of the Thieves Union in the house at No. 403 East Street.

"Let go of me, I will order you to leave smoothly." It is estimated that he has been held hostage for a long time, and William has also gotten used to this situation, and his words and deeds have become calmer.

"Why didn't we let you go after we left smoothly?" Roger answered casually while quickly judging the situation.

"Of course it's the same reason you don't want to choose the former—you don't trust me, and I don't trust you either." William's tone was very honest.

"That's the truth." Roger shrugged his shoulders, and exchanged glances with the elf, who has eyesight and ears and has rich hunting experience, and both of them stabilized their moods—if they rushed forward under such circumstances, they would have a chance of winning. , "So since there is no sense of trust in each other, there is nothing to talk about, right?"

"Although it seems so, if this stalemate continues, it will not be good for you or me." William gritted his teeth and said quickly in a low voice, "The city guards of Aintes are not vegetarians, they will probably soon You will get the news that even if you want to break in, there will be no good results, and these city guards will not give me face, even if you use me to blackmail them, they will not show mercy—after all, I It's just a pawn that the city lord Ain uses to control the Thieves Guild, even if he discards it, it won't hurt him, but it's just a little troublesome to support another guild leader."

"So, if the city guards come, we can only destroy them all together?" Roger finally turned his bright red eyes to William, and the originally clear and steady eyes suddenly became sharp, as if piercing people's hearts.

"That's right." William's gray eyes met Roger's without flinching, looking extremely frank.

"..." Roger was silent for a moment, then smiled brightly, "This is just right! Since we all agree that this stalemate is harmful but not beneficial, then I can swear to God that if I get out of trouble, I will never hurt you. Now please Give us another ride!"

"You—!" William choked for a moment, his gray eyes widened in disbelief, and he didn't know whether he was regretting that he had revealed his old background in a hurry, or was resentful that the other party was so aggressive.

It's a pity that hostages have no human rights since ancient times.As soon as Roger finished speaking, Lycent, who regarded his words as a law in order to make up for it, squeezed William and rushed out without saying a word, causing the hapless president of the Thieves Guild to have to Raising their voices, the thieves and guards who were at a loss and calling "President William" retreated quickly, not to hurt anyone, and Roger and the others naturally followed closely behind Lesant who opened the way. , quickly broke away from the encirclement.

As soon as he left the house, Roger immediately covered William with the thief's cloak he had obtained from the thief Berger, barely concealing the hostage and being held hostage between Lycent and him. He nimbly squeezed into the crowd who were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the celebration, and finally managed to get rid of the thieves' pursuit after twisting and turning.

Leaning against the wall of the alley, Roger, who was obviously much weaker than the other three in terms of physical strength, was panting heavily, with one hand resting on his knees, and the wrist of the other hand was still held by Theodore—— If the elf hadn't been dragging him away with great insight, Roger's small body would have probably been scattered by the crowd long ago.

"It should be safe here, right?" Theodore let go of Roger's wrist, and listened to the movement around him. His slender and pointed ears trembled a little from time to time, showing extra concentration.

"I hope so." Leon also heaved a sigh of relief, and patted Lacente on the shoulder, indicating that he could release the hostage William. Lacente pursed his lips and turned his questioning gaze to Roger. After he nodded in a hurry in his busy schedule, he let go of his hand, allowing William to sit slumped on the ground with his legs weak.

"No! There are still people!" Theodore's blue eyes suddenly shrank, and when Lacent heard the words and quickly grabbed William again, the ivy wood's bow and arrow had already been held in the elf's hand, leaving the string Accompanied by the awe-inspiring sound of piercing through the sky, the sharp arrow shot into the depths of the alley, where the slender figure who seemed to be integrated with the shadow rolled on the spot in a hurry, barely avoiding the arrow, but At the same time, his whereabouts were exposed.

"The vines are entangled!" The moment Theodore shot the arrow to force the man to appear, Roger also quickly summoned the vines, tied the opponent tightly, and then said in Leon, "The hunter deserves to be the natural enemy of thieves." With emotion, he walked over quickly, and lifted the cloak off the opponent.

"...Hey! Are you still an acquaintance?" Leon, who was following Roger, saw the appearance of the thief, and his original vigilance was instantly swept away, and he raised his eyebrows with a half-smile.Obviously, this unlucky thief impressed him too much, so deep that he couldn't raise the awareness of the enemy at all.

The gray-haired, gray-eyed and thin thief Berger stared at Roger with a terrified expression, as if the hair on his body was all tied up. Similarly, he still couldn't let go of what happened to Roger last time. I was also a little shocked by my courage, able to suppress the fear of this white-haired red-eyed demon, and followed them all the way here.

"Begr—?!" William was also shocked by the appearance of the young thief, a little moved and a little heartbroken, "You, why have you been following here!"

"Father, father..." Begel shrank reflexively under the attention of everyone, and then stiffened his neck, "How could I just watch you being kidnapped by these demons!"

"Father and son?" Roger was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled, "The hair color and eye color are quite similar to father and son, but this figure is quite different."

"You don't hesitate to risk yourself for the safety of your father. You have some merits!" Leon took a few steps forward and rescued Berger from the entangled vines. He smiled heartily and raised his hand in appreciation. He patted his shoulder heavily, until the slender and thin thief almost fell to the ground again, "Don't worry! We said we would let your father go, so we will—"

"If you want your father to leave smoothly, just use the money to redeem it, just take the things you stole from me before." Roger said abruptly, interrupting Leon's words, he was still concerned about the stolen jewels brooding.

"Roger!" Leon turned his head and gave him a warning look, "You swore to the gods!"

"...I just said 'If I get out of trouble, I will never hurt him'." Roger looked at Leon innocently, and emphasized again, "It's 'do no harm', not 'let him go'."

"You!" Leon's face darkened, and he wanted to yell at him, but was choked back by Roger's sensible compromise, "Okay, okay, I'm just talking casually, trying to maximize the benefits, what's the point? What's wrong?... He even said he was a swordsman, obviously he has been raised to be a dead-headed knight..." mumbling softly, Roger ignored Leon who had always been at odds with him, He suddenly turned to face William, who was still looking at his son with emotion behind him, and saluted lightly and slightly playfully, which scared William to take a small step backwards before he managed to stabilize his figure.

Seemingly unaware that he has become a synonym for the devil in the eyes of the thieves and his son, Roger smiled sincerely, "Today is really a pleasure to cooperate, Mr. William, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate like this in the future!"

William's fat cheeks twitched, and he squeezed out a slightly distorted smile, "Don't dare." God knows what he "dare not".

Sending off the thieves and his son with a regretful expression, Roger once again mourned the stolen items that seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, and at the same time, his resentment for the species of dead-headed knights deepened.Afterwards, Roger waved his hand towards the others, and quietly left the alley, looking for another place where he could safely settle down and discuss for the time being.

The line of the Thieves Guild has been completely cut off so far, and the meeting with the lord Ain seems to be still far away. Roger is thinking about why he wants to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the elves to meet the lord Ain—his original plan Didn't the elves break up after getting familiar with human society?While racking his brains to think about what to do next.

"Now, there are two ways to see Lord Ain. One is that we automatically expose our whereabouts and attract the city guards to arrest us. If we are lucky, we will be able to see Lord Ain after being caught. Of course, I personally This method is not recommended, as it is too dangerous." Roger glanced at the expressions of the other three people, and was relieved to find that their IQ and EQ were still at normal values, and no one showed any sign of agreeing with this method—well, Lai Except for this guy, Center.

"The second method..." Roger blinked, with some helplessness in his red eyes, "I'm so stupid, I should have recommended this method from the very beginning..."

"What method? Don't play tricks!" Leon interrupted Roger's emotion angrily.

"That is to directly expose your and Laisant's identities, and go directly to Lord Ain as His Royal Highness—this is really a good way, isn't it? Why did I think about conspiracy at the beginning, not such a yang What about the conspiracy? I must be on the edge of a dead end." Roger shrugged his shoulders, "If Lord Ain is not the one who attacked the elf village, then we will treat it as a friendly visit. Loss; if he is—with the status of the prince Laisant, and our visit with great fanfare, if the lord Ain does not want to fall out with the royal family, he will always take it into consideration, after all In case the prince Nexant suffers a little damage in his mansion, he can't get away with it."

"Such a good idea, why didn't you think of it at first!" Leon's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands suddenly, then gave Roger a sidelong glance, and complained.

"Is it my fault?!" Roger stared back in dissatisfaction, with a bit of childishness on his expression, "It's not that you and Lacente have been hiding their identities all the time, so that I know your identities, I also subconsciously want to hide it! Besides, you should be more familiar with such an easy-to-use identity, right? Why didn’t you think of this method?!”

"...Isn't it because you have always made decisions, we are all used to it..." Leon muttered, then his face changed, and he patted his chest generously, "Okay, then we can just do it openly. Go visit Ai Yin! You can leave this matter to me, I am the most clear about the set of things among the nobles, it must be formal and lively, and everyone knows it!"

"Then please!" Roger rolled his eyes with a smile, and naturally threw this task to the most suitable person who volunteered.

The so-called aristocratic identity and etiquette are indeed a very troublesome matter. Roger and others followed Leon and generously presented the royal family's identity certificate, checked into the most luxurious hotel in Ayntes, and lived in the most fashionable and famous hotel. Afterwards, Roger and the others rested at the hotel, while Leon turned around and left, saying that he was going to buy a horse and a car.

Looking at the posture of throwing a lot of money, Roger always felt a slight throbbing pain in his heart. In order to divert his attention, he turned to Nexant and asked about the whereabouts of the metal fragment "looted" from the Thieves Guild.

"What?! Missing?!"

A moment later, the boy's unbelievable screams came from the third floor of the most luxurious hotel in Ayntes.

"...Yes, I've always held it in my hand, but for some reason, it's just... gone..." The voice, which was a little lower than that of a young man, was full of guilt.

"You—you—you—! What a crime I have committed! To have such an uneasy fellow like you!" The young man complained in grief, "There is such a mess. Things, what is this for?! A piece of debris that was just obtained and lost inexplicably?!"

"Calm down, calm down, Roger..." The gentle young man comforted him in a flustered voice, "I'm going to see that Ain soon, aren't I? You can't beat Lacente to any good or bad... ..."

"Don't worry, I will use the healing technique for him." The boy's answer was a little dark, "It will definitely make him look intact!"

——In this team that gathers members of various personalities, the end of the running-in period is still far away...
