043. Basement Adventure
Brisso Higgins is a thief with a flexible body and good at finding shadows to hide himself, then quietly sneaking into the target, finding the opponent's weaknesses, and giving a fatal blow.
The dagger in his hand, the throat-torn teeth, can easily penetrate thick armor, including some low-level magical protective gear.
Relying on such weapons and fighting styles, Brisso has killed several enemies who are stronger than him, which has become a nightmare for many people.
Relying on these, he became famous in Nordron - notorious.
However, this time his mission was not to assassinate, but to collect information - related information from Vincent Joseph.
Caution is Brisso's habit, although the mission does not even require him to contact any target, just hide in the shadows and eavesdrop on inquiry.
But he knew that no matter what could make the noble Count serious, it was easy to solve - just like himself, he looked just a little old man with a bad appearance, but taking action would lead to death.
So, although Brisso was a little disappointed after the mission began, he calmly searched for useful news in the courtyard.
He walked in the shadows unimpededly in the study, bedroom, living room, loft and kitchen.
There was no one in the courtyard who could threaten him, including the men who tortured the spies of the Joseph family in the house.
Whenever he wants to do something, he can quietly deal with everyone in the courtyard at any time and then leave quietly.
It’s just that the bounty collected by Brisso was only used to collect information, so he would record everything he heard, saw, and found it as much as he could, and then leave quietly.
However, just as he was about to leave, the two men walked to the inconspicuous stone wall and opened a secret door.
It is the entrance to the basement.
Brisso's professional qualities prompted him to follow without any hesitation and take advantage of the shadow's cover.
...
With Brisso's ability, he naturally sneaked into the basement without any notice.
There are few torches in the basement and few guards. Brisso is unobstructed in the dim corridor without any challenges.
Because of this, Brisso became more and more anxious and felt something was wrong.
The basement of the noble courtyard is usually a place to store valuables, so it is not an exaggeration to defend, but the guards here are so loose.
Isn't the treasure here?
Brisso, who was walking through the shadows, stopped and remembered the box of fresh meat.
Is there a monster in the basement?
Brisso's doubts became aggravated, but after thinking about it, there would be times when food would be stored in the basement.
He calmed down and continued along the corridor.
As we continued to deepen, a strange and even-rhythmic sound gradually echoed in Brisso's ears, sounding like the sound of breathing when we were sleeping.
But who breathes so loudly?
Brisso felt a little incredible, and the seeds of curiosity were buried in his heart, prompting him to explore the source of the sound.
Brisso was also a little worried, worried about the terrible monster inside.
But he thought again, since the two men dared to come in and feed, even if there were monsters, they would be locked up.
Moreover, the deeper you go into the corridor, the fewer torches there are, and Brisso is completely confident of escaping in such an environment.
"arrive."
Brisso looked at the end of the stone steps, and the breathing sound came from the stone chamber inside.
In an instant, he held his breath, leaned down slightly, clinged to the walls of the corridor, completely integrated himself into the darkness, and moved forward step by step.
Finally, with great caution, Brisso moved to the basement door, gently pushed the wooden door open a gap, and looked inside.
The basement is very spacious, and in the dark, there are only scattered torches shining faintly. Through the crack of the door, Brisso saw exquisite handicrafts carved with gold and crystal on the shelf next to it, dazzling.
It's indeed a treasure room!
Brisso couldn't help but feel happy that no thief didn't like other people's treasures.
He slowly stretched out his hand, gently held the edge of the wooden door, and squeezed in along the edge little by little, while trying to control the wooden door to prevent abnormal noises during movement.
call……
Brisso breathed carefully, and the treasures shining under the fire in front of him dazzled him so much that he had no intention of looking at the darkness deep in the basement.
"Golden goddess statue, Corinas crystal crown, biwing lion mask..."
The more Brisso looked, the more shocked he became. He had never expected that this mission would bring him such wealth.
While being happy, Brisso couldn't help but feel a little regretful. This time he didn't carry a bag that could hold things, so he could only choose a few valuable items to take away.
However, just as he approached these exquisite handicrafts and was about to reach out to take them, a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded behind him!
Brisso reacted very quickly and instantly took a small step to the side!
Bang!
A whip flashed with cold light passed by him, and the crisp sound suddenly echoed in the basement.
Without any hesitation, Brisso immediately got into the shadow next to him and covered his figure.
It was only then that he had freed up his mind to look at the attacker - it turned out to be a beautiful and sexy woman!
No, she has black and red wings behind her!
She is not a human!
Brisso was a little nervous. The woman's aura was somewhat similar to that of a monster, but he had never heard of such a charming monster.
Just as Brisso looked at the woman in front of him in confusion, the other party suddenly frowned and looked at his place, raised his hand and threw the whip over!
Brisso was shocked, the other party could actually find his hidden position!
He dodged into the basement in a very embarrassing manner, and his figure became clearer and clearer as he moved, and the woman's whip became faster and faster!
The thief who was found to have caught the trace had already lost half of it, and Brisso knew that he could not continue to consume this way, so he began to try to get closer and look for opportunities to go around the other party and give a fatal blow.
But at this moment, the woman who attacked him suddenly put away her whip and quickly retreated.
Then, she actually lowered her head and knelt on the ground!
"this……"
Brisso was stunned for a moment, and the woman's sudden movement made him at a loss.
Suddenly!
A very cold chill suddenly invaded his back, like the shadow of death covering his body, and Brisso's hands began to tremble!
Only then did he realize that the breathing sound in the basement had stopped at some point!
"Fight!"
Brisso knew there was something behind him, so he gritted his teeth, grabbed the dagger and turned around and stabbed him!
"Bang!"
Brisso's body had just been rotated halfway, and a huge force came, knocking him away and hitting him on the stone wall!
The severe pain made Brisso difficult to breathe, but at this moment he had no time to feel pain and was completely shocked by the scene in front of him.
In the faint fire, silver-purple light flashed, and a huge and terrifying figure emerged from the darkness!
This is a dragon, a real dragon!
Brisso finally understood why the woman fell down, but his life was about to come to an end.
"Click!"
Chapter completed!
