Night Song was a famous thief in Irus, or to be exact, in Alinx.
According to rumors, she specifically targeted the nobles and stole their ill-gotten wealth. Then, after selling the stolen goods on the black market, she would secretly give them to the poor commoners. She was a very famous thief.
However, to those nobles, Night Song was a shadow that couldn't be removed. No one knew who would be targeted next. Back when Night Song first became famous, they even jointly issued a high-level mission in the Mercenary Guild, offering a reward of one million gold coins for Night Song's true identity.
Countless mercenary groups went crazy for it. However, it had been more than ten years since Night Song became famous, but this mission had never been completed. Now, the difficulty of the mission had automatically increased to nine stars. It was only one level away from the impossible ten-star mission.
As time passed, the number of times Night Song acted became fewer and fewer, and this mission faded out of people's sight. Night Song's true identity also became a legend.
In the past few years, Night Song had only acted a few times, and all of her targets were great nobles. They were at least counts and above. Once she acted, she would remain silent for a long time. Therefore, when they suddenly heard Night Song's name, the commoners were very excited, and the nobles were all nervous.
The nobles who had gathered at the door to buy air conditioners and other products suddenly got into their carriages and left in a hurry. What if they were targeted by Night Song if they continued to stay here?
"In other words, she's a thief …"
Tang En nodded slightly. "We can check it ourselves. If there's someone inside, I'll bring them out and give them to you. If there's no one inside, you can leave by yourselves."
"We request to go in and check!"
"Okay."
Tang En nodded. "But any product here is worth tens of thousands of gold coins. I won't ask for too much. If there's any damage, I'll compensate you according to the price. Is that okay?"
The guard captain suddenly withdrew his foot. The corner of his mouth twitched. "Well, we'd better not go in."
What a joke. If they got into big trouble during the mission, how would they be able to reason with?
Tang En said to Hilton, "You entertain the guests. I'll go in and take a look."
"My lord?"
Hilton frowned and whispered, "Could it be …"
Tang En calmly held down Elsa and stuffed the curious Elijah into her arms. He then turned around and walked into the shop.
He went straight to the fourth floor with a faint smile on his face. "Come on out. Do you need me to do it?"
No one responded.
Tang En was not in a hurry. He said to himself, "I'm really curious. There are so many houses. Of all the places you can hide, you just had to hide in my house … Do you know, because of you, I just lost hundreds of thousands of gold coins. How many times do you think you have to steal to get it back?"
There was still no response.
Tang En shrugged. "Since you don't want to cooperate, I'll have to ask the guards to come up. To be honest, I have a good impression of heroic thieves … When I was young, I always dreamed of becoming a thief who would appear and disappear unpredictably, robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
"Rob the rich and give to the poor? That's a good word. "
At the same time, a slender woman with short hair suddenly appeared in the blind spot of Tang En's vision. Her mouth and nose were covered, and she was wearing black night clothes. The special fabric did not produce static and friction sounds, and at the same time, helped to hide her breath.
But most importantly, Tang En found that this was not her real appearance. Her real appearance and body shape were hidden by a very advanced magic equipment. Because it was not an illusion, Tang En could not use detection to see the truth.
This was more like the effect of a permanent transformation spell on the body, so Tang En could not reverse her original appearance.
"Oh? You are Night Song? "
Tang En looked at her with interest. "So the famous Night Song is a woman."
Night Song's gem-like blue eyes looked at Tang En with a hint of dissatisfaction. "Do you discriminate against women?"
"No, I respect women very much. It's just that …"
Tang En's face showed a strange smile. "I'm very curious why the guard knew that Night Song is a woman. Could it be … collusion between officials and criminals? "
Tang En noticed that when the guard captain mentioned Night Song, he used the word "she". Although Prandal used hieroglyphics, it was different from Chinese. The pronunciation of "he" and "she" were different.
Night Song was startled and said unhappily, "Is my gender a secret? There are all kinds of rumors. There are even rumors that I'm an elf who walks in the night. Do you believe it? "
Tang En said without hesitation, "I believe it."
Night Song was stunned.
"So this is why you used magic equipment to hide your appearance? You are an elf? "
Tang En said happily, "My wife is also an elf. We are relatives."
"Are you stupid [Beep]!"
Night Song was stunned and could not help but say, "I just said it casually. You can just listen to me!"
"I see. So you are not an elf."
Tang En was relieved. "In that case, I don't have to worry about offending my dear."
Night Song was immediately stunned. His wife was really an elf? Are you kidding? Elves had not appeared for more than a hundred years. After the second war of Chaos, they never appeared again!
Not to mention intermarriage with humans!
"No matter what, thank you for your help."
Night Song was relieved and pulled down the mask.
Under the mask was a very beautiful and delicate face. She was definitely qualified to be called a beauty.
Tang En was very surprised. "You are actually a beauty."
"Thank you for your compliment."
She smiled at Tang En gratefully. Tang En's face was immediately dull. Night Song smiled proudly in his heart. He was indeed fascinated by her beauty.
Then, Night Song, who was a little shy, said softly, "I failed this time. I didn't expect those hateful nobles to be prepared. I am afraid they have already set up an inescapable net. I have been forced into a dead end. I have to hide for a while. If possible, Mr. … Tang? What are you doing? "
Tang En suddenly walked over. Night Song shrank back nervously.
"Oh! I see. It is the effect of the transformation spell … "
Tang En stared at her and looked up and down. He subconsciously pinched her face and then grabbed her chest curiously. "I don't know if this is real or not …"
"Sir!? Please have some self-respect!!! "
Night Song's face changed greatly. His body shrank back and a cold light flashed in his right hand. However, Night Song gritted his teeth and the dagger immediately disappeared.
"Oh! Sorry! I was distracted … Speaking of which, it gave me a hint. "
Tang En suddenly pointed to an empty box next to him and said, "How about this, Miss Night Song. If you really want me to help you, you can hide in here … Also, I think I need to tie your hands first."
Night Song was stunned. "Why?"
"You don't think I will foolishly trust a stranger, do you?"
Tang En grinned. "What if you steal from me?"
Night Song had nothing to say. She turned around and let Tang En tie her hands.
"Lie in there and leave the rest to me."
"Thank you for your help. The gods will definitely protect your kindness."
Night Song expressed her gratitude to Tang En and then lay down in the box.
Tang En smiled and locked the box without hesitation. The next moment, he walked to the window expressionlessly and threw the box down.
"Boom!" The box fell to the ground.
Then Tang En also jumped down. "The thief is inside. I'll leave it to you."
Night Song, who was caught off guard, was dumbfounded after hearing Tang En's words.
The guards downstairs were also dumbfounded.
"Wait, wait! Mr. Tang En, what are you doing!? "
Night Song screamed and struggled violently. "How can you betray me!? Didn't you say that you have a good impression of heroes and that you dream of becoming a thief!? "
"Oh, I just said it casually. You can just take it as you wish."
Tang En said innocently. "What's more, that was when I was young. When I grew up, I hated thieves — especially after the thief stole three of my mobile phones."
Night Song didn't have time to care about what the mobile phones were. She was completely stunned.
There was something wrong with this script!
Generally speaking, when a man met a beautiful woman who was forced into a corner, his legs would go soft and immediately kneel in front of the beauty's charm. Then, he would take the initiative to help her hide it. Then, as they got to know each other, they would become familiar with each other and trust each other. Finally, they would become lifelong companions.
The Night Singer in the box shook, and the rope loosened. She took out a small notebook from her chest, bit her nails, and flipped through it. "Something's wrong … What's wrong?"
In the dark box, her right hand's fingers emitted a faint glow. Vaguely, one could see the words "script" written on top of the small booklet.
Tang En kicked it. "Bang!" Night Song screamed. "You, how can you treat a lady like this!"
"Young girl, you're too sweet …"
Tang En's face was full of disdain. "I'll say it again. Do you think I'll easily believe a thief who popped out of nowhere? Just because she's beautiful? Naive, too naive … "
"I'm an elegant thief, not a thief!"
"What's the difference? It's all about stealing. "
"I'm obviously a hero thief who's very popular with civilians. I've planned all the possibilities. I won't fail … Damn it! It's all your fault! "
Night Song in the box gritted her teeth and cursed Tang En.
"You can only blame yourself for being called Night Song and not Ming Ming."
Tang En pursed his lips and said, "How can this be considered a famous thief? You're just a fool, right? When I said that, she obediently lay down. And you guys, can't you catch this kind of thief? Why don't you go home and farm? "
"Wow!"
Elijah, who didn't know the truth, cheered. "Big brother is really the best!"
The little girl didn't care what happened. Anyway, big brother was the best!
Thus, Tang En gave her a bright smile, which made the little girl even happier.
"You —"
The guards held the hilts of their swords tightly. They couldn't wait to rush up and kill this guy!
"Alright, if there's nothing else, take this guy away. Don't interfere with our business."
Tang En turned around and suddenly clapped his hands. "Oh, right, don't forget to return the box. It's so expensive."
"You — got it! Let's go! "
The group of guards retreated angrily, leaving only Tang En and a group of onlookers.
"Night Song … was caught just like that?"
There were still people who couldn't believe what had happened.
"She was caught by him!"
The group of civilians stared at Tang En in unison. Then, they snorted and turned around to leave.
"Eh?"
Tang En scratched his head. It seemed that he had accidentally become the public enemy?
