Chapter 0787 Palace Treasure

Ruta told Guan Heng one by one, and he also gave a special reminder: "Remember, we are thieves, not assassins and killers. We must not hurt others unless we have to do this. Only by doing this can I feel at ease to let you be by your side."

"Don't worry, Brother Luta." Guan Heng skillfully played with the short blade that Luta had just given him. He said with a relaxed look on his face and half-jokingly: "I hate the most is killing and life-threatening activities. It's not that I feel so good, but because we will be dizzy when we see blood."

"Hahaha, but what you said is true or false. I hope you have the same heart."

Ruta didn't hate Guan Heng's humorous character. He then spread a floor plan on the table and said, "The place we are going tonight is the palace treasure house of this kingdom."

"Oh, have you taken a fancy to what kind of rare treasures in the treasure house?" Guan Heng smiled and said, "Or it's okay to just empty that place."

"No, there is only one thing in the treasure house, which is what I want, and the other things are nothing but dung, which is not worth mentioning in my eyes."

Ruta said: "I came to the royal capital of this country before and committed crimes everywhere, just to cover up my eyes. In fact, my goal is only like the one in the treasure house."

"Brother Ruta, what exactly is the thing you said?" Guan Heng asked casually: "If I accidentally see it first, it's better to put it away for you."

"It's the same broken stone tablet with mysterious patterns on it." Luta said, putting a stone block on the table: "Remember its appearance."

"Broken stone tablet?" Guan Heng glanced at the stones on the table, and his thoughts flashed in his mind: "Is this the 'Stone Tablet' that Ruta and Sahee found in the underground palace back then? Maybe this thing will have some connection with the Dark Goddess, which will lead to the encounter between Ruta and Dalaweir in the future."

Thinking of this, Guan Heng pretended to be relaxed and smiled: "Is this kind of stone tablet itself an extremely valuable treasure, or something related to priceless treasures, so you are so concerned about it."

"No, this thing itself is not worth much. It is worthless except for its age. It's just that this thing means a lot to me. If I can reach this point today, I am all the belief in finding it to support me."

Luta suddenly thought in an instant, as if he had been trapped in some long-standing memories, but he quickly shook his head and then said to Guan Heng: "I know you are good at your skills. I guess it is not the first time you go in and out of a heavily guarded place. Let's do this. As long as I find the stone tablet and the other valuable treasures, as long as you like it, take a few of them, but don't be too greedy, do you understand?"

"I understand this in my heart. If you take too much stuff, it is a burden." Guan Heng replied with a smile: "Things that have small goals, high value, and are not easily damaged are the targets that thieves prefer."

"Well said." Hearing this, Luta nodded with satisfaction. He smiled and said, "You really have the talent to be a top thief. Maybe you can become my right-hand man in the Thieves Guild in the future."

"Then I'll wait for you to promote me, Lord President." After Guan Heng said this, he immediately looked at Luta and laughed.

...

After the two left, the scene turned into darkness. Guan Heng was not surprised at this time. After putting on the black cloth cloak, he and Luta turned into two urgent shadows, crossing the streets and alleys, and arrived near the royal palace as quickly as possible.

Under the towering palace wall, the two showed off their short blades, and then climbed up the city wall and jumped over the wall, Luta said to Guan Heng: "The palace treasure house is divided into bright and dark warehouses. The bright warehouse is used to cover people's eyes and ears, and the storage of ordinary gold, silver and jewelry is the real treasure of this country's royal family."

When Guan Heng heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Then so... the broken stone tablet may be stored in the dark library, right?"

"That's right, the broken stone tablet I found was stored in the Ankura." Luta said softly: "Follow me, and now I'll take you to the entrance of the Ankura."

Guan Heng followed Luta down and ran in the shadow of the city wall, while asking softly: "Where is the entrance to that dark library?"

“In a very conspicuous place.”

Luta replied: "That is the banquet hall in the palace. There are countless princes, ministers, servants and maids entering and leaving the house every day. However, the designer used this blind spot of human psychology to build the entrance of the treasure house there. Therefore, for hundreds of years, the dark house has been in peace and has never been stolen."

The two of them said as they ran quickly and were incompetent. They encountered the patrol team of the palace guards twice along the way, and they all hid without any danger. In this way, they arrived outside the door of the banquet hall in a few minutes.

"Wait for a moment." Luta reached out to stop Guan Heng, who was about to break in, and then said: "The warning specifications here are loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so it is very likely that there are hidden stakes to prevent guests from entering. I want to check it."

Speaking of this, Luta took off the small kettle around her waist, took a sip and sprayed it on the door, then took out a bottle from her bag and opened the mouth of the bottle, and blew it out, and saw a large piece of white powder falling in front of her. In an instant, countless thin lines appeared in front of Guan Heng's eyes, and the ends of the lines were filled with small bells warning.

Because the water sprayed from Luta was stained with powder, it was obviously attached to the thin lines, allowing the two to see clearly. At this time, Luta saw a corner on the side without a thin line blocking it, so she waved to Guan Heng, and they gently walked around and quietly entered the banquet hall.

"Before meeting you, I had come here to investigate twice, and the warning here is relatively strict at night."

Luta was familiar with the environment in the house. He walked under a pillar with Guan Heng in two steps. He said: "The designer who built this dark library is indeed very powerful. He designed a triple-level lock at the door and around the dark library. The guards in the palace are not scary, but I need a few minutes to crack the lock and open the dark library door. You are here to keep a watch on my behalf."

"I understand, let's follow our previous discussion and learn to meow twice whenever there is any situation." After Guan Heng and Luta's division of labor was clarified, the latter immediately pried up the blue bricks under the pillars and began to dismantle the mechanism below.

Guan Heng carefully paid attention to the movements nearby. Time passed by minute by minute, Guan Heng's ears suddenly moved, and only a light click sound came from behind him. Luta said softly: "The first mechanism lock is lifted, Guan Heng, you retreat."
