Sword and Magic and Taxi

　　 Buying some eggs is naturally easy. Although he didn't know how much to buy—I was so happy at the time and I forgot to ask—but the eggs were not expensive. He bought thirty for a pair of copper plates, and he also bought a basket.

　　 The fat boss of the Fireplace Hotel saw Zhao Mai and waved his greetings enthusiastically. When the two meet every day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and when they enter and leave the hotel, they have already established a neighbor-like relationship.

　　 "What's wrong with you, buying so many eggs? Don't you think the eggs here are not delicious?"

　　 "It has nothing to do with taste, just help others." Zhao Mai guessed and answered the boss's question.

　　 After a few greetings, Zhao Mai climbed up the stairs. The reserve grain nose sniffed in the air, suddenly shouted loudly, and then rushed up. Zhao Mai put the egg down casually, drew out the short sword and followed.

　　 The door to the room was open, and the room was full of traces of overturning cabinets. The reserve grain quickly checked every corner, and Zhao Mai directly raised the bed. The bag of fine salt that had been placed under the bed was gone.

　　 It is obvious that this is a thief. The price of fine salt is very high, but the cost is actually very low. Zhao Mai's loss is not big. The really valuable things are the mobile phone, car keys, destiny gold coins and the lingua franca dictionaries, all of which he has always carried with him.

　　 The first suspicious object is "Junr Rat" Green. I just mentioned the day before yesterday that I wanted to sell something, and I needed to get rid of it through the "cannot be traced" approach. It is easy to be thought of as some kind of "stolen goods", anyway, it is a good thing with small size and high value.

　　 For more than two weeks, Green has come every day and has been busy until the night, so he can figure out the situation with no effort. Even if he hadn't found the salt under the bed before, after Zhao Mai asked the question, he might find it by himself. Nothing was lost in the room except this bag of salt, and even the axe placed on the table was not stolen, which can explain the problem.

　　 But why turned into such a mess instead of sneaking it away? It can be seen from daily contact that Green is a very smart person, and he does not show a greedy character. If he saw this bag of salt...

　　 Forget it, don't speculate what he will do, the problem now is that Zhao Mai needs to decide what to do.

　　 "A Liang, come over and smell here. There used to be a leather bag for salt. Can you know where it is now?"

　　 The food reserve lay down on the ground with his hips, sniffed around the bottom of the bed, and then raised his head and made two excited "barks". Zhao Mai followed it, watching the puppy sniffing while walking. As he passed downstairs, he said to the fat boss: "There is a thief who stole my things in the room. I think you are also partly responsible for finding my things."

　　 The fat boss was visibly taken aback, and there was obvious anger on his face. He immediately put down the things in his hands, wiped his hands on his apron, and ran to the second floor.

　　 Zhao Mai doesn't need to follow the fat boss up, like this kind of thing, the tavern owner with a wide range of contacts will handle it more smoothly than Zhao Mai. Mr. Quasi-Druid now wants to know who has acted on him so as to make the next step of prevention.

　　 The grain reserves are walking along the streets and in the alleys, getting farther and farther away from the town center. The people here have more suspicion and caution in their eyes, and they are not very welcome to the sudden appearance of a person and a dog. Zhao Mai has always focused on the surrounding environment, assessing the identities and abilities of the people around him, and is ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

　　 The main roads in Nepo Town are clean and tidy. People come and go in broad daylight. Adventurers registered in the guild are always staring at people who may cause trouble, ready to earn a bounty or something. It is naturally safe there. But in this gloomy alley, narrow, dark, and little known, no matter whether the murderer can be brought to justice afterwards, as long as he becomes a victim, it is never a good thing.

　　 When you encounter this kind of place, pass as soon as possible. One person and one dog quickly ran through half the town and came to a house with a small independent courtyard. The grain reserve indicated that the package of salt was entered here, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

　　 This is a small two-story building with a fireplace. There may also be a small attic under the pointed roof. Doors and windows were closed tightly, thick curtains blocked the warm sunlight and peeping sight, and some onions and carrots were planted in the yard enclosed by the waist-high rail fence. There is no watchdog here, only a rusty iron sign that says: "Private places, trespassers are at their own risk."

　　 If you look closely, there is also a sign like this on the door. Zhao Mai touched the hilt of the sword at his waist and walked around in front of the courtyard. He probably understood what the other person was thinking, so he called for grain reserves, and then left straight away.

　　 The three scouts of the Iron Claw Union lowered the curtains and sighed regretfully. "Okay, put everything away, that guy was very cautious and didn't come over."

　　 "Did he spot us?" A short man with a sharp-mouthed monkey-gill lowered his crossbow, and said disappointedly: "It stands to reason that he cannot feel the breath of us?"

The middle-aged man headed by 　　 shook his head: "It should not be, I guess he may be worried that he can't cope with the possible trouble, so he retreats temporarily. He may go to help, so don't let your guard down, you know?"

　　 "Yes, boss!" a thief responded. "But, Boss, I can find here, that kid's dog is amazing! I deliberately stepped back on many heavy smelling things along the way, and I covered up everything I could cover!"

"There are always individuals with extraordinary talents, just like our president." The middle-aged man reprimanded him: "You are still too greedy. UU reading www.uukanshu.com obviously has a task, and you still go to take the sheep. If we delay the president's business, we can't explain it!"

　　 "Can't delay." The short-mouthed monkey-gilled dwarf said with a smile: "I heard them say they want to sell something, but I didn't expect it to be a bag of elven alchemy salt, which is 13 and a half catties, worth more than 800 gold coins!"

"Okay, I know what you mean." The middle-aged man said, "Since there is no dead person, the simple theft will not cause excessive attention from the town, and the risk is controllable. In fact, if the kid comes in rashly, let's take him Kill it, that's the best situation. This town is really good. As long as you put up a sign that outsiders don't enter, the intruder will die in vain. I really like this rule."

　　 "Uh, boss, this rule seems to be used to prevent thieves..."

　　 "That's right, prevent you from using it." The middle-aged man smiled slightly and he separated himself from these gangsters. He then said to a man leaning on the wall: "Go and see the guy who was caught, and convince him as soon as possible. A good thief, do something with a sense of justice, and want to come and steal our trophies back. !"

"That person was nicknamed Junkrat. He used to be a well-known old man. Everyone who met him would lose madly. Later, I didn't know why he stopped washing his hands and didn't get involved with gambling anymore, so he could be regarded as retreating." The man said to his companion: "I will go and persuade him with you. If he doesn't cooperate anymore, he wants to eat black. According to the rules, he should be killed with three swords."

　　 "Go ahead and do it, I will ponder over the plan again." The middle-aged man waved his hand and let his subordinates go busy.
