The weird game of the ancient gods

The upper city is located in the outer ring of Stormwind Palace. The entire city is in a semicircular shape. The mansions and courtyards guard the towering towers of Stormwind Fortress, forming the most spectacular building complex in Stormwind City.

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

The number of guards here is surprisingly large. Every traffic artery and every intersection is guarded by Stormwind City guards.

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

If converted to the real world, this place is almost equivalent to the second ring road in Beijing.

However, such a guard was meaningless to a full-level thief like Xia Yu. He sneaked past between the guards and looked at the mansions and compounds on both sides of the road. Xia Yu was also dazzled.

With so many luxury properties, where should you start?

He observed as he walked and soon discovered an interesting place.

There is almost an emblem on the door of every mansion in the uptown area. 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 noble emblems. Every family with a certain background has similar emblems as the symbol of the family.

There are similar things in Europe in reality, and there is even a branch of heraldry that is used to identify nobles of different ranks and families.

A small number of noble emblems will have a golden dragon-shaped border on the outside. Xia Yu guessed that this should mean a high-level noble, most likely a duke.

If you want to steal, steal the big one. Xia Yu directly targeted a duke's mansion and prepared to take action.

The main entrance of the mansion was closed tightly, and there were two guards standing guard. However, Xia Yu couldn't help it. He walked around to the side wall of the mansion. .

It's not that Qinggong is better than Qinggong. He grabbed the raised mosaic on the wall and pulled it hard. He flew three to four meters high again and landed lightly on the courtyard wall with a somersault.

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

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

On the school grounds on the other side, a young knight was practicing sword practice, accompanied by several retinues.

He walked slowly along the roof. There was a tower at the end of the roof. Through the glass window, he could see a girl wearing a priest's uniform praying with her eyes closed. A faint holy light emanated from her body, which seemed very... of holiness.

It looks quite happy.

Xia Yu didn't stay long, and jumped easily to the balcony on the second floor of the main house opposite. He bypassed the servants who were cleaning and entered the living room.

There was nothing to 'borrow' here. After walking around three times and twice, Xia Yu came to the master bedroom.

Usually the most valuable things should be here. The door to the master bedroom was locked, but this didn't bother Xia Yu. He took out a piece of wire and used his unlocking skills - with a click, the door opened.

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

A portrait was hung on the wall facing the bedroom door. It was a middle-aged man with a majestic face, dressed in fine clothes. There was a line of small words below the portrait - Duke Boris Vishak is in Stormwind City.

This guy is the owner of this mansion. Xia Yu has no impression of this guy. Xia Yu, the noble NPC in Stormwind City, remembers Duke Bolvar Fordragon and Countess Katlana Presto. The former Later, he became the third generation Lich King. He was worried about stealing into Bolvar's house before, but it seemed that he was overly worried.

He looked around.

There is a pair of crossed swords hanging on the wall. I happen to have no weapons, so I will hold them first and then talk about it.

I held the sword in my hand and made a few gestures. It was quite handy. However, although the sword was gorgeous in shape, it was obviously just a decoration and not a very good weapon.

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

Some scattered gold coins, as many as thirty or forty, were put into the bag together.

The murals on the wall, the clock in the corner, the armor on the dummy, the matching two-handed sword, the gold belt buckle and the scepter inlaid with gems.

Anyway, as long as you put everything that is valuable into the bag, the 20 grids in the backpack are enough to hold a large number of items.

After scraping a circle and filling half of the backpack, Xia Yu was still not satisfied. Does the majestic Duke only have such a small amount of wealth? Who would believe it? The nobles of Stormwind City are notoriously corrupt.

There must be more. Is there such a thing as a secret door or a secret passage? That's how it's done in movies.

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

Who would put this thing in their bedroom? There must be something wrong.

Xia Yu looked at it for a few times. The statue was very beautifully shaped, with both hands holding a sword. The strange thing was that it didn't have a sword in its hand.

He took out the two-handed sword that matched the armor and placed it in the hands of the statue. The statue's arms suddenly slowly sank. With the sound of a mechanism opening, the statue slowly moved away, revealing a secret passage.

Xia Yu was overjoyed and thought that he had it. He was about to walk in quietly. Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable alarm in his heart. Such a key place would not be undefended, right?

Detect traps! Xia Yu's eyes flashed coldly, and he carefully looked at the walls, floors and ceilings of the secret passage, and soon discovered some subtle magic lights behind a mural on the wall.

There is indeed a trap! Haha, luckily my level is high enough and I can tell at a glance.

Using the trap disarm, the trigger device was easily removed, and a magic scroll placed in the trap was pulled out.

It turned out to be Pyroblast! Damn it, it's so cruel, you can't even hide in the narrow passage. If this triggers the rhythm, you will probably be beaten in seconds. Fortunately, I have done a professional mission as a thief and know how to detect traps in advance.

This high-end magic scroll is also very valuable, so I stuffed it into the bag.

Turn on the detection trap and go inside.

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

At this time, he was quite excited. With so many traps, there must be good things inside.

There is another secret door at the end of the corridor. This time the door lock is a little more complicated. I used the lockpicking skill again to open it. It took a little effort to open it again. The 300+ lockpicking skill can be said to be unscrupulous everywhere.

Xia Yu's eyes lit up as soon as he entered the door. The secret room was not big. When he first entered, he saw boxes of gold coins neatly stacked. The weapon racks on both sides were filled with long swords, war hammers, shields and other weapons. Several sets of glowing The metallic shiny full-body plate armor is neatly arranged, like silent knights.

These are the real good things. These equipment must be high-quality equipment.

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

But with so many gold coins hidden at home, but no money to pay wages to the masons' guild that built the city, I don't look like a good person. I would be doing justice to God by stealing from your house.

He emptied out all the rags in the bag, and threw everything on the ground except the box of jewelry and the two swords.

Then he started to pack the really good stuff. First he picked out a few weapons, forgetting the plate armor. There was no plate armor class in his group, but there were two sets of beautifully styled mail armor. Xia Yu put it directly into the bag and could go back. Wear it for Fujiwara Fubuki and the mechanic.

It's a pity that there is no leather armor. It is estimated that people with noble backgrounds will eventually become knights and warriors, and the weaker ones will also become priests and mages. There must be no successors to be trained as thieves and hunters, so naturally there will be no leather armor.

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

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

He quietly walked out of the bedroom door, closed it gently, returned along the original path, and left the Duke's residence without any danger. After such a harvest, he was not ready to continue 'borrowing money' anymore.

Directly out of the upper city area, Xia Yu finally revealed his figure when there was no one outside. He took a deep breath and looked at the full backpack. He was very excited. It's great to be at this high level. Gaomen Courtyard They can come and go as they please.

The money problem was solved instantly.
