Chapter 231: Burden

Shua Shua Shua.

Ruby, Baldy, and Crow stood up almost at the same time and looked towards the door in the room.

It was obvious that the newcomers were not good people. They were two humans wearing black cloaks and a guard.

Baldy flung the drumstick in his hand on the ground and said with an angry face, “How did the guard know about this place? Who told him our information?!”

Of course, no one answered him.

Baldy turned to Ruby and Crow, he then shouted, “I’ll deal with this guard. You guys deal with the other two.”

“Don’t worry about the dagger. Let’s deal with these b*stards first!”

He took charge of the difficult parts for himself and left the other two to Ruby and Crow.

After all, the two cloaked guys should have lost their owners. They were probably not as strong as this guard.

The one who used the magic staff was naturally a mage, and a mage who loses their magic staff would definitely be greatly weakened.

It would definitely be enough for Ruby and Crow to deal with them.

Originally, Baldy just wanted to distribute the tasks and deal with the difficulties in front of him first.

Who knew that Ruby and Crow actually held on to the dagger at the same time! Even if the treasure and loot were extremely important to the thief.

Greed got in the way!

Hearing Baldy’s words, Ruby glanced at Crow and said in a low voice, “Don’t forget what you promised, my share!”

Crow only nodded and did not say anything further.

Although this verbal agreement was very unreliable, Ruby still let go.

Now was obviously not the time to be too persistent on this matter.

The three of them immediately united and faced the three people in front of them.

“You want to deal with me? Don’t you know that assaulting a guard is a felony?!

“I advise you to surrender immediately! Er…”

After he heard Baldy say that he wanted to deal with him, Jess warned the three of them with a serious face.

But before he could finish his words, he saw that Timus had already pulled out the stone sword on his back and rushed out.

Obviously, compared to the upright guard Jess, Mike and Timus preferred a more direct way of doing things.

“You’re the ones who stole my things, aren’t you? Bastards!”

Timus was full of anger as he brandished the huge stone sword and slashed at them. However, these three guys were thieves, so their bodies were naturally much more agile than ordinary people.

The thieves rushed out in three different directions at almost the same time and dodged this attack.

This made Timus even more furious.

They were clearly just measly thieves, but they actually dodged his attack. Then, Timus began a storm-like combo attack.

The sword was waved in Timus’ hands rapidly, as if he was waving a light wooden stick.

But no matter how he attacked, he could not hit the three of them.

He could not even touch their clothes.

Jess, who stood at the side, was stunned for a long time. He had never thought that this human named Timus had such powerful strength.

On the other hand, what he did not expect was that these thieves from the Thieves Union were also experts!

After being shocked, he came back to his senses and looked at Mike, “Aren’t you going to help him? Aren’t you called his teacher?”

When Mike heard this, he did not answer directly. Instead, he turned his head to look at Jess and asked, “Aren’t you going to catch them? Aren’t you the guards of the Ancient City of Life?”

“UH…”

Jess was speechless.

Just as Mike had said, he was the guard of the Ancient City of Life. Logically speaking, he should be the one to deal with them.

As the owners of the lost property, Timus and Mike should have stood by the side and watched Jess retrieve their lost property.

However, the reason why Jess did not directly go forward to fight was because he knew that he was very weak.

This was also the reason why he took the initiative to cooperate with Mike and Timus.

But now, Mike had already said so. He could not be afraid of fighting, right?

“F*ck, I’ll catch you!”

The young elven guard naturally could not stand Mike’s simple provocation. He immediately raised the long spear in his hand and rushed over.

Mike really wanted to ask him whether that f*ck was used to curse the thieves or that the elf had just called his name.

But in the end, he did not retort. He just quietly watched from the side. The reason why he did not go up to help was very simple.

On the one hand, he was too lazy to make a move. This kind of small-timed thieves would definitely be enough to hand over to Timus. At least these guys definitely would not be able to hurt Timus. This was something that Mike was completely at ease with. After all, Timus was someone who had fought with the god of fire, Ragnaros.

Even though it was just a doppelganger.

Even though he had won with some help.

But killing a god was still killing a god. It was very difficult for ordinary humans to defeat Timus.

Therefore, Mike treated it as a test for Timus. It was also necessary for him to adapt to fighting an agile enemy.

As for the other reason, it was because Mike had to guard the entrance.

This was to prevent any of the three thieves from escaping with the now Dagger of Meredith.

Of course, Mike did not stay idle while he stood guard.

His eyes wandered around the room as he tried to find his lost item. He was still unsure what form it had taken.

He had yet to find it even though he had looked everywhere in the room.

Mike frowned slightly and shifted his gaze to an iron door in the corner. There were three locks on this iron door, and there seemed to be faint magical fluctuations. It seemed to have some kind of rune enchantment.

With such tight security, it did not need to be guessed that this was most likely a vault.

His Umbrella of Meredith was most likely in this vault!

At this moment, the voice of Baldy suddenly came from the room.

“Don’t move, if you move again, I’ll kill this kid!”

Mike frowned slightly and turned to look.

While he was distracted, the guard had been taken hostage by Baldy.

At this moment, Jess’ long spear had also fallen to the ground. His neck was held by the short knife in Baldy’s hand, and he dared not to move at all.

When Ruby and Crow saw this scene, they stopped their evasive actions and slowly walked to Baldy’s side.

Obviously, they already had the advantage.

It was likely that these two guys in black cloaks would not just watch this young guard die.

Timus looked at Jess, who was being held hostage and helplessly lowered the sword in his hand.

“I knew I shouldn’t have brought this guy along!” He complained helplessly.

Jess’ face instantly showed guilt.

Jess originally wanted to do his duty as a guard, but he did not expect to become a burden to them.

Baldy’s eyes moved back and forth between Timus and Mike, and his footsteps slowly moved towards Mike at the entrance.

“You despicable little bastard, get out of my way!”

Baldy cursed at Mike. At this time, he still had a proud and arrogant smile on his face. He felt that he would be able to escape successfully.

As long as he could get out of here, everything would be easy.

After that, he just needed to kill the young guard and find an empty place to dump the body.

This plan was perfect in the eyes of Baldy.

But the next moment, he found that there was a strong pain and constriction coming from his neck.

A strong smell of blood filled the room.
