When Grandia floated on the surface of the water like a dead fish.
She would never have thought that she would be tormented by Tang En like this one day.
Aiguin and Fiona looked over. Tang En smiled and said, "I'm afraid she has fainted."
Aiguin tilted her head and asked, "Fainted?"
"Yes, some people are not used to soaking in hot springs and might faint. Without a doubt, Grandia is such a person."
Tang En's matter-of-fact look made it easy for others to believe his nonsense, especially when Aiguin was a very naive and silly elf. She actually believed Tang En's words. "Speaking of which, it was the same last time in Preston. She didn't soak for long before leaving."
Aiguin obviously didn't know about the open and veiled struggle between Tang En and Grandia back in Preston. She also didn't know that because of Grandia's pride, Tang En still had a psychological trauma from that time.
"Fiona, why don't you carry her up?"
Tang En looked at Fiona with a smile. "Although I really want to help her, it's obviously not appropriate."
"No!"
Almost as soon as Tang En opened his mouth, Fiona guessed what this guy was up to. She decisively rejected Tang En. "It's better if you carry Grandia back."
Although Grandia was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, her threat to Fiona was obviously not as big as Aiguin. Therefore, Fiona would rather let Tang En carry Grandia back than let him and Aiguin be alone in the hot spring.
Although Aiguin's body was also wrapped in a bath towel, as a woman, Fiona clearly saw that she wasn't wearing anything under the towel. Under such circumstances, being in the same pool with Tang En was simply putting a fat piece of meat in front of a wolf's mouth to tempt him!
With Tang En's personality, how could he miss such an opportunity?
Of course, Tang En understood why Fiona was nervous. Seeing that his wishful thinking had been seen through, he could only resentfully carry Grandia, who was like a dead fish, back into the room.
When Tang En stood up from the water, Fiona subconsciously covered her eyes, but she still saw some scenes through the gaps between her fingers.
Stinking rogue!
Scoundrel!
Fiona cursed several times in her heart, but her cheeks uncontrollably turned red and warm.
"What's wrong with you?"
Egwene looked at Fiona strangely. "You don't feel well?"
"No, I'm just a little hot from the bath."
Fiona was very guilty as she concealed her emotions.
On the other side, after Tang En threw the intermittently convulsing Grandia onto the bed, his gaze roamed over her body. Although he was very unhappy with this little girl's temper, it had to be said that Grandia's body lines were still very beautiful.
"What … do you want to do …"
At this moment, Grandia couldn't muster any strength in her body. She lay there limply. Her hazy and watery eyes seemed to be looking at Tang En, but in fact, there was no focus.
Tang En's methods were too intense for her. She couldn't bear that kind of blissful pleasure at all.
"I don't want to."
Tang En stared at her fiercely and gently pinched her. Then, he whispered in her ear, "Stinking brat, do you know how powerful I am? Let me tell you, the next time you dare to ruin my plans and keep sticking to Aiguin and disturbing our date, I have even more powerful ways to deal with you. You better not continue to be stupid! "
At that moment, Tang En didn't dare to stay any longer. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would really make a mistake. After covering Grandia with a blanket, he hurriedly left the room and repeatedly said, "Damn it."
It was still very early. If he rushed back as soon as possible, he might have a chance to have a close interaction with Aiguin!
Just as the excited Tang En wanted to return to the hot spring, he bumped into a layer of air wall.
"You've soaked for long enough just now. It's the girls' time now. Go back."
Hearing Fiona's words, Tang En was dumbfounded on the spot.
F * ck!
What kind of joke is this!
Aiguin just went in!
The main show is starting now!
You actually want me to leave at this time?!
Of course, Tang En was very unhappy, but …
"This is the enchantment set up by Sister Aiguin."
Okay, you win.
Tang En, who had just raised his hand, turned around and returned to his room dejectedly.
Tonight's battle was a complete failure. Although his date with Fiona was considered a success, his most anticipated bath with Aiguin didn't happen.
"Anyway, there will be more chances in the future. There's no hurry …"
The disappointed Tang En could only comfort himself like this. After returning to his room, he looked at the moon and drank to drown his sorrows.
At that moment, he suddenly saw a few shadows flashing across the roof in the distance and quickly rushing to the other side of the town.
Flying thieves?
Tang En had a strange expression. There were many flying thieves in this world, but until now, Tang En had only seen two. Aurelia was one, and Selna was the other.
At that moment, Tang En's heart skipped a beat. If they were really thieves, if he could follow the clues and find the Thieves Guild's stronghold, he would be able to obtain information about the Solant Kingdom.
In Prandal, the Thieves Guild was definitely at the top of the list when it came to the organization with the most abundant information. Not only were they the nest of thieves, but they were also natural information dealers. They had always known the local information like the back of their hands.
Thinking of this, Tang En quickly changed his clothes and flew out of the window, chasing after the few shadows.
At that moment, he regretted not bringing Selna along. With Selna's strength and reputation, she definitely had a high position in the Thieves Guild. If he could use her identity to his advantage, he would definitely be able to obtain a lot of information.
Tang En caught up with the few people in the blink of an eye. They quickly moved around on the roofs, their bodies as light as swallows. When they landed, they did not make any sound at all. They were very agile.
Tang En followed them all the way to a farm on the outskirts of Alcârdia. The farm covered an area of tens of acres, and there were a few run-down stalls where cows and ponies were kept. Beside them was a field that had already been cultivated.
From the outside, it looked no different from the most ordinary farm. However, after the thieves entered the farm, they blew a few birds' calls, followed by the sound of cats' calls. It was as if they were verifying each other's identities. After three rounds of verification, the thieves standing in the middle of the farm walked into an inconspicuous little house.
Tang En also went invisible and followed them.
After entering the little house, just as Tang En expected, the fireplace in the house suddenly rose up, revealing a passage that led downwards. The few of them entered in a single file, and Tang En followed closely behind.
After a few rounds, they appeared in a basement. There were already more than ten people in the basement. They were either sitting or standing, and all of them had their faces covered with hoods. Under the flickering light of the torches, it was impossible to see their faces clearly. Even if they were fellow thieves, they were still targets that they had to be wary of.
"You're late."
A hoarse voice came from the shadows in the corner. Tang En stared at it for a while before realizing that there was a person huddled there.
The person was curled up in the shadows, as if they had become one with the shadows. If not for Tang En's strong observation skills, it would have been difficult for him to discover that there was someone there.
One of the people that Tang En was following said, "Sorry, we were discussing whether to make a move on a foreign noble chick at night, so we were delayed."
Foreign noble chick?
Was he talking about Fiona?
That shouldn't be. Although Alcârrea wasn't very prosperous, the noble ladies from the nearby cities still liked to come here to enjoy the hot springs. It shouldn't be that coincidental.
The man in the shadows said calmly, "That's your own private matter. You know what to do when you're late, right?"
The man sighed. "… Alright, we'll hand over half of this month's income to the guild."
Damn, the Thieves Guild's punishment is quite harsh.
"Great Gibbon Seth above, the shadows will always protect us."
The man in the shadows finally stood up, but he still kept most of his body in the shadows. "Since everyone is here, let's begin the meeting."
Meeting?
Tang En perked up. He hated meetings, but now he loved eavesdropping on other people's meetings, because it meant that he could obtain a lot of information!
"Today's meeting will mainly focus on the following three points. First, we'll confirm whether the Irus Empire's Ghost Agents are expanding their scope of activity."
Tang En was stunned. He didn't expect the first piece of information to be related to him.
"Second, we'll report on the observation of abnormalities in the surrounding villages of Alcârrea."
Abnormalities in the surrounding villages?
"And the most important point," the man in the shadows paused for a moment, then slowly said, "That is … Our Alcârrea Thieves Guild branch, should we accept guild members who escaped from Lothamar Castle …"
Tang En, who was hiding in the shadows, noticed that the atmosphere in the basement suddenly became much more oppressive when the words' Lothamar Castle 'came out from the man in the shadows.
What's going on?
Where is Lothamar Castle? Why did the members of the Thieves Guild escape from there? Why do we have to be so serious about accepting companions?
Tang En furrowed his brows. He realized that he seemed to have accidentally overheard some very important information.
"If there are no objections, we'll begin the meeting now …"
"I object!"
