The Shangcheng District is located in the outer circle of the Storm Palace. The entire city is semicircular, with luxury mansions guarding the towering towers of Storm Fortress, forming the most spectacular building complex in Storm City.

As soon as he approached the edge of the Shangcheng District, Xia Yu immediately felt a different place.

There are surprisingly many guards here, with every major traffic road and every intersection guards guarded by Stormwind City.

Moreover, the overall geographical location of the upper area is higher than the surrounding area, and there is also a city wall that separates it from other areas of the city. If a war breaks out, it is obvious that this place will become the safest area.

If converted to the real world, this place is almost equivalent to the Second Ring Road of the Capital.

However, such security is meaningless for a maximum-level thief like Xia Yu. He sneaked straight from the guards and looked at the luxury mansions and courtyards on both sides of the road. Xia Yu was also confused.

Where should we start with so many luxury houses?

He walked and observed, and soon discovered an interesting place.

There is almost an emblem on the gates of every mansion in Shangcheng District, some are an eagle, some are a wolf, some are a deer, some are a big tree, and some are a flower.

These are actually the so-called aristocratic badges. Every family with a certain background has similar emblems as the symbol of the family.

There are similar things in Europe in reality, and even an heraldry is extended to identify aristocrats of different levels and families.

There is a golden dragon-shaped border outside the aristocratic emblem on the outside. Xia Yu guessed that this should mean a high-ranking aristocrat, and it should be a duke.

If you want to steal, you can steal the big one. Xia Yu directly locked in a duke's mansion to prepare for the attack.

The main entrance of the mansion was closed and there were two guards standing guard. However, this was not a problem for Xia Yu to go around one side of the mansion. Xia Yu climbed to the ground with force and jumped up five or six meters high.

It’s not that light skills are better than light skills. I grabbed the raised slant on the wall, pulled it hard, and flew up three or four meters high again, and a somersault fell lightly onto the courtyard wall.

I walked along the courtyard wall for a while, climbed up for a while, and went straight to the roof of the third floor.

Standing on the roof and looking down, you can see a lady in a long dress walking in the small garden in the mansion.

On the other side of the school ground, a young knight was practicing swordsmanship, and there were several entourages accompanying him.

He walked slowly along the roof, and there was a tower at the end of the roof. Through the glass window, a girl in a priest's uniform could be seen closing her eyes and praying. A faint holy light emanating from her, looking very holy.

It looks quite happy.

Xia Yu didn't stay for a long time, and jumped easily to the balcony on the second floor of the main house opposite, bypassed the servant who was cleaning and entered the living room.

There was nothing to "borrow" here, so there were three or two circles, and Xia Yu came to the master bedroom.

Generally, the most valuable things should be here. The door of the master bedroom is locked, but this is not a problem. Xia Yu took out a wire and used the lock-opening skill - with a click, the door opened.

Xia Yu entered the door of the master bedroom, closed the door, and looked around.

A portrait is hung on the wall facing the bedroom door. It is a majestic middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes. There is also a line of small words under the portrait - Duke Greg Lescova in Stormwind.

This guy is the owner of this mansion. Xia Yu has no impression of this guy. Xia Yu, a nobleman of Stormwind City, remembers a Duke of Boval Stuagen and a Countess Caterina Presto. The former later became the third generation of Lich Kings. He was worried about stealing the Boval family. It seems that he was too worried.

After a look around.

There were a pair of crossed swords hanging on the wall, which happened to be without weapons, so I took them first and talked about them.

He held the sword in his hand and gestured twice. It was quite easy to use, but although the sword was gorgeous, it was obviously just a decoration and was not a good weapon.

A box of jewelry was found in the dressing cabinet. This was a good thing, probably the Duchess' jewelry.

Some scattered gold coins were thirty or forty, and they were all taken into their pockets.

The murals on the wall, the clock in the corner, the armor on the dummy, the matching big sword, the golden belt buckle and the scepter inlaid with gemstones.

Anyway, as long as you see the valuables are put into your bag, the 20 grids in your backpack are enough to stuff a lot of items.

After collecting it, Xia Yu was still not satisfied. The dignified Duke had only such a little bit of his family’s fortune? Who would believe it if he said it? The nobles of Stormwind City are famous for corruption.

There must be some things like secret doors and secret passages? This is how it is performed in movies.

He strode around for a while, and a statue of a knight in the corner caught his attention.

Who would put this thing in the bedroom without any trouble? There must be a problem.

Xia Yu looked at it a few times and the statue was shaped very beautifully, maintaining the posture of holding the sword in both hands. What's strange is that it does not have a sword in its hand.

He took out the two-handed sword that matched the armor and put it in the statue's hand. The statue's arm sank slowly. With the sound of the mechanism turning on, the statue slowly moved away, revealing a secret passage.

Xia Yu was delighted and thought that he had it. He tiptoed in and was about to walk in. Suddenly, a sense of alertness rose in his heart. Isn’t this critical place unpredictable?

Detecting the trap! Xia Yu's eyes flashed with cold light, and he looked at the walls, floors and ceilings in the secret passage, and soon found some subtle magical aura behind a mural on the wall.

There is indeed a trap! Haha, fortunately, I can see it at a glance.

Using the trap to remove the trigger device easily, and then the magic scroll placed in the trap was pulled out.

It turned out to be a flame explosion technique! Damn it's so cruel, I can't even hide in the narrow passage. If this triggers, it will probably be in seconds. Fortunately, I have done a professional thief task and knows to detect traps in advance.

This advanced magic scroll is also very valuable and is stuffed into the bag.

Walk in the detection trap.

Xia Yu broke another flame explosion trap, a frost rune trap, and a sharp blade piercing trap. He finally reached the end of the aisle.

At this moment, he was quite excited. After installing so many traps, there must be something good inside.

There is another secret door at the end of the aisle. Use the lock-opening skill to open it again. The 300+ lock-opening skill can be said to be rampant everywhere.

As soon as Xia Yu entered the door, his eyes shone brightly. The secret room was not big. The preconceived idea was that boxes of gold coins were neatly placed. The weapon racks on both sides were filled with long swords, warhammers, shields and other weapons. Several sets of full-body armor with metallic luster were neatly arranged, like silent knights.

These are the real good things, and these equipment must be excellent equipment.

It can be seen that the nobles in this world are still very martial. In addition to gold coins and various armor and weapons are placed in the treasure house, it is no wonder that Stormwind City was captured by the tribe a few years ago. Now this noble who has been rebuilt and has no sense of crisis is probably dead.

However, there are so many gold coins hidden in the family, but they don’t have the money to pay the stonemason guild in the city. No matter how you look, they don’t look like a good person. Stealing your family is a way of doing things for heaven.

He scattered all the rags in his bag, throwing them all to the ground except the box of jewelry and two swords.

Then he started to install real good things. He first picked a few weapons, and forgot about plate armor. He did not have a plate armor profession in his group, but he had two sets of exquisitely shaped mail. Xia Yu put it directly into his bag and could wear it for Fujiwara Fujisui and the mechanic when he went back.

Unfortunately, there is no leather armor. It is estimated that people from noble families will eventually become knights, warriors, and those who are weaker will also be transferred to priests and mages. There will definitely be no successors to be thieves and hunters, so naturally there will be no leather armor.

All the rest of the backpack was stuffed into the gold coin box.

After filling the lattice in the bag, I walked back with satisfaction.

He walked out of the bedroom door quietly, closed it gently, and returned along the same route, leaving the duke's mansion without any danger. With such a harvest, he was not ready to continue to "borrow money".

He left the upper city area directly and arrived at a place where there was no one outside, Xia Yu finally showed his figure. He took a deep breath and felt so excited when he looked at his backpack. It was so good that he could enjoy this level. He came and left if he wanted to come.
