Night Crow Master

"I heard this from a gentleman bard." There was a hint of uncertainty on Kera's pretty little face," he said, the father of the first Viscount Red Rose and the first Viscount Blue Rose. It’s the legendary Duke Rose, sir, I’m not sure if what he said is true."

"Viscount Red Rose and Viscount Blue Rose are both heirs of Duke Rose?" Yate was a little confused and clear. The Blueblood, a "powerful and pathetic bloodline" who relies on and is bound by blood, is the heir of a duke. , Their starting point should be very high, basically they can become official wizards.

but.......

After Duke Rose fought with the monster and was seriously injured and died, Duke Rose's original territory was divided by the other two dukes, and these two brothers who should at least inherit the position of earl could only get the position of viscount.

Why did the two viscounts, who were originally brothers, turn each other into enemies and host each other?

Thinking of this question, many possibilities emerged in Yate's mind in an instant-for example, one of the viscounts had taken refuge in a certain duke after the death of Duke Rose, while the other brother thought it was a betrayal, so they turned against each other.

Either the two have turned to different dukes and turned each other into feuds, or the two did not seek refuge, but conflicted over some kind of inheritance, or something else...

Thousands of years have passed, and only those who lived in the era and are still alive will remember it. Even the records of the kingdom and the church, after thousands of years, there may be accidents.

Everyone who knew this was dead, and the truth is unknown.

But these are digressions, and he has not forgotten what he asked——

Those two viscounts who are qualified to be earls were put in the position of viscount. Although they don’t say anything, their strength is enough to build a small town. In a thousand years, it should be enough to develop a small town to the present. Right?

In other words-this town has a history of a thousand years, and already has the scale of a city, but the current lord status is still a viscount, and there is no way to name this town in the name of a city.

"That's right, the bard said." Kera said with a smile, "He said that our Lord Red Rose and the Blue Rose Giant Tree with Blue Rose Collar are gifts from the Duke Rose to the two children."

"Present..." Yate turned his head and looked at the giant red rose tree that covered the sky and the sun. The flame-like flowers spread all over the branches made it seem extremely oppressive.

"It's unimaginable..." Yate couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

At this moment, the two saw a man approaching, but La subconsciously turned sideways to the left, giving way, and Yate also moved a step to the right.

However, this man who seemed to be a little shorter than Biaatt, stepped aside, moved half a step to the left and hit half of Yate's body.

"Sorry, sorry!" The man raised his head and said to Yate with an apologetic expression, "I'm in a hurry, I didn't notice you, sorry."

After speaking, he bent his upper body a little politely, apologizing, and after speaking, before Yate could say anything, he walked away quickly, looking like something urgent.

But Yate squinted his eyes, staring at the person who left.

He has done a lot of this kind of action. In previous games where the "stalker" is a professional game, his skill completion level is about 80%-90%, especially in the skillful hands and stealing. These skills.

This action, a rogue, stalker, and assassin player who loves stealing skills has been used up, is one of the common stealing poses.

He touched the money bag that he hung around his waist and at the hem of his clothes--the cloth pocket and the silver coins and some copper coins that were placed as a cover, had disappeared.

The corners of Yate's mouth twitched. Although he was not a top stalker before, there are still very few cases of people taking things away from players who are also in the middle.

But La looked at Yate's downward swing, and she was taken aback. The clever little girl seemed to understand something, and said hurriedly: "Sir, you can chase after me, I'll tell Mr. Guard!"

With that said, the little girl was about to pull her leg and walk in the direction of a guard.

Suddenly, she felt her arm being pulled.

But La turned her head back with some doubts and looked at Yate with a worried expression: "Sir, if you don't go, that person may have to run away—"

"It's okay." Yate said with a gentle smile, comforting the little girl, "It's fine if you continue to take me to Mrs. Rolle's shop, it's okay."

"But sir..." Kela wanted to say something, but the calm and gentle smile on Yate's face made her swallow again.

"Isn't it stolen?" the little girl thought with some confusion, and just then, from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a black shadow flying from the roof not far away.

"Ah-ah-"

A crow?

No one does not know these birds with their dark bodies and unpleasant sounds. They not only appear in the wilderness, but also live in places where humans gather, collecting some weird shiny objects.

These children, the most common birds, besides the black thrush, are these crows. Many children like to touch them after they find the crow's nest, and they may find something good.

Before, one of their children in the Eastern District found a ring inlaid with gems from the crow's nest.

His parents secretly sold the ring they got to a businessman and got a lot of silver coins.

But La watched the reddish-feathered crow flapping its wings and flying. She didn't know if it was an illusion. She seemed to see the crow flying in the direction where the person had left.

"Okay, Kela, let's go." Yate smiled and touched the simple crutches made of rough wood, and walked forward. As he walked, he glanced to one side.

In front of a shop, the two civilians who were originally standing, who looked like they were chatting, chased them in the direction of the thieves who had left.

"Good sir." Kela hurriedly followed Yate, and she answered Yate's questions as they walked.

But La didn't notice that Yate, who was walking a little ahead of him, had his eyes spread a little at this time, as if he was watching something.

In front of the two of them, there was only a broad and smooth stone road.

...

At this time, the other side.

Two men who looked like civilians walked forward quickly, chasing after the thief's moving route.

And the thief who had gone around a few corners, with his arms in his arms, among the slightly loose clothing, gently kneaded the purse with his palm, as if confirming the amount of money.

"made money!"

The thieves were a little bit happy. Two or three silver coins are enough for an ordinary person to live for a month. For a family, three silver coins are no small money.

There should be five silver coins and nine copper coins in this purse, enough for him to live "decently" for more than half a month.

I met a few little noblemen with a businessman before. He admired the life of those noble lords very much. No, the life of that rich businessman was also worthy of his envy.

Relying on the unexpected reward, he played a decent man for a while.

The life of being watched with envious eyes makes him really want to stop, but this kind of performance is also very expensive, and the previous money has been left after four months.

He needs more money to maintain his decency.

He had lived by petty thieves before. He thought that after working with that rich businessman, he would never do this kind of thing again...

"It's unimaginable." He shook his head and sighed with a smile. Obviously, the success of this shot made him very happy. Just wait a moment to find a place to wash off his disguise and change his clothes. He is still "Mr. Brown," and the thief and Mr. Brown are completely two people.

No one would have thought that Mr. Brand, who was decent and wealthy, would do something like theft.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings, and a black bird with reddish feathers landed on a wooden shelf not far in front of him.

The old man in the grocery store just put down the goods and walked back into the house.

crow?

He just paid attention to footsteps and silhouettes, but he didn't expect a crow to appear here.

He didn't think much about it. It was not uncommon to see a crow in Red Rose Town. After half a second, he was ready to go back to the corner of no one to change his clothes.

However, he heard more wings flapping.

When he raised his head and looked at the place where the sound came from, he found crows standing in a circle on the roofs of the surrounding houses.

They were slightly larger than the common crows, and their feathers were slightly reddish. This was not the most important thing. He was horrified to find that these crows had strong malice in their eyes, staring at him firmly.

Only among them, the gaze of the biggest crow didn’t feel that way, but the gaze of that crow made him feel more terrifying, like, like—

Just like the look in human eyes.

With a mocking smile, he seemed to be mocking himself, and there was a trace of indifference, as if he was dead.

Dead?

Brand was shocked by his "thoughts" and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, it's just an illusion..."

However, when he flashed this thought, his eyes recaptured the figures of the crows, he saw the crows flying towards him all together--

"Ah-ah-"

The pitch-black crows rushed toward Brand, in horror, he hurriedly released the money bag in his arms, waving his hands incessantly, trying to stop them from attacking.

However, without knowing why, he suddenly felt that his vigorously swinging arm seemed a bit weaker than before.

At the corner, the two people who had just chased saw this scene and were stunned. They were about to move forward, but the other person hurriedly stopped him——
