0162 Cliff Cottage

"Guan Heng!" After Shani stood firm, she hurriedly turned her head. At the critical moment, Guan Heng grabbed her arm and threw it back hard, but she fell to the bottom of the canyon!

"Oh, please don't scare me!" Shani was so anxious that tears fell out: "Hey, Guan Heng, where are you?"

"I'm here!" Shani suddenly heard the sound of huge wings flapping under the cliff. She looked over and saw that it was Guan Heng who released the fire-type golden-eyed bird in the metal cylinder at the critical moment. He caught it himself.

A bird caught a claw and flew up!

Shani shouted to him: "Hey, are you okay?"

"Of course it's okay!" Guan Heng said with a smile: "And when I fell just now, I also discovered some interesting things!"

"Huh! Bang!" Guan Heng turned over and landed on the cliff. He said to Shani: "There is a cave directly below the cliff here. It looks quite deep. I feel that

There are some things inside, let’s go take a look later!”

The two of them were talking and went to look for the two golden robber rats. They saw the two little things waiting at the edge of the thick fog not far away. They seemed to be more frightened than the danger just now.

One of the little beasts jumped up to Shani and circled her twice, as if to see if she was injured!

"Okay, little thing!" Shani picked it up with a smile: "I'm fine now, let's go find the people in the house in front!"

Suddenly a gust of mountain wind blew by, and the thick fog dissipated a little. Another golden rat took the two of them a hundred steps forward, and they had already arrived in front of three simple thatched houses!

"Well, it seems that no one has repaired or lived in these three rooms for a long time!" Guan Heng took a casual look and said, "It's really too shabby!" At this point, Guan Heng and Shani looked at each other.

They all felt that there was little hope that the Kent brothers were still alive.

Sure enough, the two people who had not yet entered the house were led by the two little beasts to the back of the house, where there were two tombs!

The second brother, Lawn. The third brother of Kent's Tomb, and the eldest brother of Galfa Kent's Tomb, Franson.

This is the writing engraved on the tombstones in front of the two tombs.

"It seems that the first ones to die were Lawn and Galfa among the Kent brothers!" Shani looked at the inscriptions on the tombstone and said, "The names do match up, it's them!"

"But the eldest of the Kent brothers should not be dead at that time!" Guan Heng touched his chin and analyzed: "I wonder where he is at this time?"

"Let's go inside first and have a look!" Shani said to Guan Heng, "There might be some clues in the room!"

"You two little guys, come on!" Shani said to a pair of golden rogue rats: "Come with me to the thatched house to have a look!"

"Squeak!" The two golden robbers nodded repeatedly, ran to the thatched house in the middle, pushed the door open with their little heads, and signaled Shani and Guan Heng to go in!

The two looked at each other and walked into the thatched house. The furnishings of this room were very simple, including drinking and eating utensils, two chairs, a wooden table, and a bamboo couch for resting.

"There is no trace of Franson in this room!" Shani shook her head and said, "It seems that this person is missing."

Before Shani could finish speaking, a golden robber stood up suddenly and gently grabbed the corner of Shani's clothes with its mouth.

"What?" Shani looked confused at first, then suddenly realized: "Are you asking me to go into the room?"

Shani waved to Guan Hengyi, and the two of them followed the golden robber to the end of the room. On the wall, a scrawled charcoal drawing hung. On the picture, four men with similar looks were laughing happily in front of the dining table.

Clink glasses!

"This seems to be the portrait of the Kent brothers! And it is the handiwork of the third brother, Galfa!"

After Shani saw the painting, she murmured to herself: "Because the older people in the Thieves Guild all know that Galfa, one of the Kent brothers, is not only a skilled thief, but also a very famous painter.

His main targets for stealing are works of art from various countries!"

"But aren't they three brothers?" Guan Heng said with some confusion: "Why are there four people with similar looks in the painting?"

"I don't know." Shani had just answered these three words, and the golden rat next to her suddenly jumped up several feet. It touched the charcoal drawing on the wall with its paws, making a squeaking sound!

"Hey, this little guy seems to be hinting at something. Let me take off the painting first!" As he said that, Guan Heng reached out and took off the work. The wall behind the charcoal painting was indeed a bit weird. There was a small line on it.

Close the door!

"Huh? This is a brand that only members of our Thieves Guild recognize!" After carefully identifying it, Shani reached out and touched the mark on the secret door, and then said to Guan Heng: "There are five different types of machine locks on it.

, are things that can only be opened by experienced thieves. If the secret door is opened by force, the contents inside will be destroyed by the small mechanism set up in advance!"

"Are you sure you can open it?" Guan Heng asked softly.

"Try it, because I have opened up to three secret doors with mechanical locks before!" Shani said with a solemn expression: "Opening these locks is a huge challenge for me. If I can work it out in one go,

If I open five machine locks, my stealing skills will be significantly improved, which is of great benefit to me!"

"Guan Heng, I need absolute silence now!" Looking at the secret door with slightly narrowed eyes, Shani continued: "This way I can study these mechanisms without any influence. Please wait outside the house now, and don't let these two

The little guy is here to disturb me!"

"Zhizhi" The two golden robbers seemed to understand after listening to Shani's words. Their two and four front paws suddenly dug up the soil on the spot. Dust was everywhere, and the hole became deeper and deeper. Within a few seconds,

The Golden Robber pulled out a small iron box from the hole and pushed it in front of Shani.

"Click, wow!" Shani opened the box and took a look. It turned out that inside was a set of special tools for thieves: small saws, small pliers, small tweezers, small scissors, as well as drills of various thicknesses and lengths, adzes, etc.

"Haha, are these all given to me?" Shani smiled and touched the heads of the two little beasts: "It seems that these are the things left by the Kent brothers, so I, a junior in the same industry, will accept them unceremoniously.

Got it!"

The two golden rogue rats knew what Shani was going to do next. They turned around quickly and ran out of the room, because the little beasts knew in their hearts that Shani needed absolute silence at this moment, so they did not intend to bother her here.

"Xia Ni, then I also want to go out for a spin!" Guan Heng said: "I will let the six-eyed scorpion and golden-eyed sparrow guard the door. They will protect your safety!"
