WTYTIAAN Chapter 170

Doreen held her breath, truly feeling the cold sensation pressed against the back of her heart. The sharp tip of the knife had already pierced the soft fabric of her clothes, piercing her skin, forcing her to believe the words of the person holding the knife—if she moved again, her heart would be pierced by that dagger.

Doreen slowly raised her hands, turning them slowly from side to side, showing that she was harmless. “I have no malice, sir.”

Yan Yunqing chuckled, the laughter seeming somewhat ethereal in the dark room. If Doreen turned around at that moment, she would see that most of Joker’s face was hidden in the darkness, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a mocking arc.

Doreen felt the person behind her move closer, a warm breath spraying on her ear, triggering dense goosebumps. At the same time, her heart was also pulled by that voice, suspended high.

“Miss, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to sneak into a strange man’s room in this way in the dead of night?” Doreen heard the person’s voice rise slightly at the end, the slightly ambiguous words coming from his mouth, but inexplicably making people… tremble.

Doreen swallowed, closed her eyes, and restrained her trembling body. She opened her mouth calmly: “I really have no malice, you know, otherwise I wouldn’t have set the tracking magic so crudely. Anyone who gets that ‘Morgan’s Heart’ can find that tracking magic with a little care, right?”

Yan Yunqing raised his eyebrows imperceptibly. It seemed that this was the person behind the auction of ‘Morgan’s Heart’.

The tracking magic was indeed superficial, but Yan Yunqing had noticed the tracking magic at first glance through the status bar of the system panel.

Yan Yunqing twitched the corners of his lips, “So you put a tracking magic on that ‘Morgan’s Heart’ to attract the attention of the person who got it, ignoring the feather butterfly pollen Contamination on it, so that it would be convenient to come to the door when the other party relaxed their vigilance, right?”

Feather butterfly flower is just a very ordinary wild flower species, only because a butterfly called feather butterfly especially likes this flower, this wild flower was named feather butterfly flower.

Under certain conditions, the pollen of the feather butterfly flower will attract feather butterflies, which can be used as a tracking method.

The most important thing is that this pollen is difficult to wash off once it is Contamination on it, and can be maintained for at least three days, even bathing is difficult to wash off all the pollen.

When Yan Yunqing found a faint floral fragrance on his body, he immediately used reconnaissance on himself. After three reconnaissance attempts, the system reluctantly informed him that there was a kind of pollen on his body that was difficult to wash off, and he immediately thought of the feather butterfly flower.

Doreen froze, she lowered her head slightly, and the moment her hair fell, she quickly squatted down, supported the floor with her palms, and swept her legs at Yan Yunqing’s lower body.

Few people can react quickly to this sudden attack, but the person behind her seemed to have expected it, lightly jumped up, grabbed Doreen’s collar and pulled her up, and threw her back onto the bed along with the inertia of the force, her hands pressed against her back, and her entire face was buried in the bulging quilt.

Yan Yunqing conveniently lit the oil lamp in the room, and also arranged a soundproof magic circle in the room. Doreen still wanted to struggle, but the dagger brushed her cheek and nailed into the bedding. Several strands of scattered hair were cut off and fell lightly, staying on the dagger in front of her eyes.

The cold light of the sharp blade reflected Doreen’s wide eyes, and a hint of fear hidden in her eyes.

It was almost a little bit, that dagger was about to pierce into her brain.

Feeling the gap in strength like a natural chasm, Doreen became honest, finally no longer struggling, obediently lie on the bed with her hands pressed behind her back, her voice sounding a bit depressed through the bedding.

“Yes, I did use feather butterfly pollen to track you… But sir, I really have no malice.” Doreen said pitifully, “Have you forgotten me? Last time we agreed that I would take you to the dark prison, and you would take me out of that damn place, but you disappeared in the end. I looked for you everywhere and almost got caught by those guards…”

Hearing this, Yan Yunqing immediately matched the other party’s identity with the person in his memory, “…Are you that ‘Mandel’?”

“…My name is Doreen, sir.” Doreen found that Yan Yunqing had really forgotten her name.

Yan Yunqing thought about it. It seemed that her name was indeed Doreen, but at that time his attention was not on Doreen, he was only thinking about the NPC Nana who was being frantically warned by the system that she was about to die.

At that time, because this Doreen knew too much and her identity was suspicious, Yan Yunqing wanted to tear up the agreement on the spot. Later, he simply teleported away with Nana, and didn’t even remember Doreen, who was left somewhere by him.

Yan Yunqing:.

In a sense, he was indeed at a disadvantage, after all, their agreement was that Doreen would take him to find the dark prison, and he would take Doreen to leave Mantipell.

But Yan Yunqing didn’t let go of Doreen’s hand. He was already suspicious of Doreen’s identity, and now they met again because of ‘Morgan’s Heart’, Yan Yunqing’s danger radar had already sounded the alarm.

Just by looking at the name ‘Morgan’s Heart’, you would know that it came from the false god Morgan. Although the false god Morgan had the word “false” on his head, he had been stealing the authority left behind by the gold vein for many years, and his strength was already equivalent to a god. He was a guy who needed Isabel and Divick to join forces to defeat him.

And Doreen, a person who couldn’t even beat him, could steal ‘Morgan’s Heart’ from Morgan, which was simply unbelievable. What’s even more unbelievable was that she finally escaped successfully.

“Although I don’t know how you got this ‘Morgan’s Heart’, I know that the process was definitely not easy, even if you acted so nonchalantly.”

Yan Yunqing put a confinement spell on her before letting go of her hand, pulled a chair and sat by the bed, and then he had time to look at Doreen’s current outfit—a gray and white suit, the style of clothing Yan Yunqing was very familiar with, it was the style that the maids of this hotel often wore.

Not to mention, this Doreen’s preparations for sneaking in here were quite complete, at least the clothing was right.

But had she ever thought about how many employees there were in this small hotel, and the boss knew exactly what all the employees looked like?

“But you still took out the ‘Morgan’s Heart’ that you finally got and put it up for auction. What do you want to do? Or who do you want to lure out with this ‘Morgan’s Heart’?”

Doreen twisted on the bed because of the confinement spell. After hearing Yan Yunqing’s words, she stopped and tried hard to look back at the direction where Yan Yunqing was. Not surprisingly, she saw that the chestnut-colored high ponytail man was still wearing a mask on his face. She couldn’t help asking, “Don’t you take off your mask when you sleep?”

She struggled to twist her body twice before turning it a little, putting her face on the bulging quilt, using the quilt as a pillow, making it easier for her to look at Yan Yunqing.

“Also, why are you wearing so many clothes when you sleep? Do you sleep like this every day?”

Yan Yunqing:.

That’s really not the case. He just quickly switched to Joker’s identity after discovering Doreen’s arrival, so that he wouldn’t run into her with the face of a player.

“Answer my question honestly.” Yan Yunqing ignored Doreen’s question and raised an eyebrow, “If you continue to evade the question, do you want to get up and fight again?”

Doreen was speechless, looked at him, and then looked at her hands that were tightly bound by the confinement spell.

Fight again? Did he mean that she would be beaten unilaterally again?

The room fell into a strange silence. Doreen stiffened her neck and confronted Yan Yunqing for a while, then pretended to be pitiful. Seeing that this man was really immune to both soft and hard tactics, and his heart was as hard as iron, she finally had to give up the roundabout strategy.

“…You let me go, and I’ll tell you what you want to know.”

Yan Yunqing didn’t answer or move, folded his arms and looked at Doreen leisurely.

“…”

Doreen slammed her head into the quilt, her voice muffled, “Okay, then I’ll answer a few questions for you first. Can you let me go? This posture is really weird!”

Yan Yunqing finally answered her question, “Isn’t it weird that you broke into a strange man’s room in the middle of the night? Answer me first, and I’ll consider letting you go if I’m satisfied.”

Doreen secretly gritted her teeth, not daring to let Yan Yunqing hear her. She could only hide her little grievances and recklessly break the pot for her freedom: “Ask!”

“How did you get ‘Morgan’s Heart’? Why did you go to get this thing? And why did you put it up for auction? What is your purpose?” Yan Yunqing very smoothly bombarded Doreen with questions.

Doreen: “…Can’t you ask one by one? With so many questions, which one should I answer first?”

“Just answer them one by one.” Yan Yunqing’s mouth rose, and there was even a sweet dimple on his cheek. However, Doreen didn’t feel any cuteness, but felt that this dimple added a bit of danger to this man.

“Don’t think about fooling me.”

Terrible man.

Doreen resigned herself to her fate, “How did I get ‘Morgan’s Heart’? I just used a little trick… Don’t glare at me, this is how I make a living, I can’t really tell you everything, right?”

Without waiting for Yan Yunqing to question her, Doreen quickly continued, “Why did I go to get this thing? Because I received a commission. The employer asked me to get this thing. The employer gave me too much, so I accepted this task.”

“Are you a bounty hunter?”

Doreen curled her lips, “I’m from the Thieves Guild, not a bounty hunter.”

A bounty hunter is a derivative occupation of mercenaries. Anyone with strength can form a hunter in the Bounty Hunter Association, accept tasks, complete tasks, and get rewards.

As a public and relatively transparent organization, the tasks are generally more positive, and few people will place orders in the Bounty Hunter Association for commissions such as assassinations and thefts.

——Although the client is confidential when the task is not accepted, because the Bounty Hunter Association has a large number of people, even if the client behind the task is anonymous, some people with high authority levels will know their identity.

In comparison, what the Thieves Guild does are these shady things, assassinations, thefts, interceptions, etc. All tasks that are not convenient to publish in the Bounty Hunter Association can be published in the Thieves Guild to ensure anonymity and task completion rate.

Correspondingly, the threshold for joining the Thieves Guild is also higher, and every thief has a lot of criminal records.

Yan Yunqing couldn’t help twitching his eyebrows twice when he heard Doreen say that she was a thief, “You? A thief?”

An ordinary little thief was more like it. With this strength that he could beat, could she really do those assassination and assassination tasks? She only had some talent in theft, but Yan Yunqing felt that Roco in Freedom City was definitely stronger than Doreen in theft.

Doreen snorted, and seeing that Yan Yunqing didn’t believe her, she could only add resentfully, “I only accept theft tasks.”

Yan Yunqing thought: I guessed it.

However, a thief who can steal ‘Morgan’s Heart’ is probably not simple. He can investigate later. Yan Yunqing knew that even if he asked Doreen about her real identity now, Doreen might not answer seriously, so he simply didn’t ask.

“Next.”

Doreen paused and puffed out her cheeks, “Why did I put it up for auction? Just like what you said, I want to lure out the guy who gave me the commission.”

“That person issued the commission and the deposit and disappeared. I finally got this thing, but when I turned around, I found that I couldn’t contact the client.” Doreen showed an angry expression on her face, “I can’t get the final payment, so I can only find a way to lure people out. I thought about auctioning ‘Morgan’s Heart’, and if I spread the word before the auction, the people who want to get this thing will naturally appear.”

Doreen glanced at Yan Yunqing aggrievedly, “Then you Taken this thing, and I came over. You also know what happened later.”

Yan Yunqing didn’t expect that it was because of this reason, so he suddenly came out today to Take a photo ‘Morgan’s Heart’, and it really disrupted Doreen’s debt collection plan.

“…This is the reason why you sneaked over in the middle of the night and pried open the lock on my room door?” Yan Yunqing was suspicious.

Doreen was silent for a while before speaking embarrassedly: “Well… Actually, I found you before, but at that time you were fighting with another person… outside the city, and the fight was too fierce. I didn’t dare to go up, so I stood in the distance and waited for a while, but then you disappeared.”

“You are too good at running. I took the feather butterfly and circled the city of Slanlipa for a whole circle before I found this place.” Doreen also wanted to question this chestnut-haired man, why he was so good at running, and the entire city of Slanlipa was full of traces he left behind.

Yan Yunqing:.

Well, he really had nothing to say about this. In order not to be found by You Qieer, he really detoured for a long time and did some camouflage traces everywhere before returning to the hotel.

In addition, before, in order to avoid the encirclement of those small fish and shrimps, he was also Runaway everywhere in the city. It was normal for the feather butterfly to not find his trace for a while.

Yan Yunqing accepted Doreen’s explanation, “The last question, what is the final payment that the client of that task wants to give you?”

It couldn’t just be money.

After all, the amount of money that ‘Morgan’s Heart’ was make a deal at the auction was enough to issue dozens of tasks in the Thieves Guild. If it was just money, Doreen would not have chased after seeing the make a deal amount of the auction house.

After all, the gold coins that Yan Yunqing converted with the [Touchstone] skill would not change back until a day later. The current Doreen would definitely not be able to find out that those gold coins were all stones.

So that client must have promised Doreen something that she had to get no matter what, even at the risk of publicly auctioning ‘Morgan’s Heart’.

He hadn’t forgotten the rewards he had seen in the Bounty Hunter Association before. Even the Bounty Hunter Association had rewards, so the Thieves Guild must have them.

Doreen was about to answer, Yan Yunqing narrowed his eyes, “To be honest, you probably don’t want to know the consequences of lying, right?”

Yan Yunqing glanced meaningfully at the dagger that was still nailed to the bed. Doreen followed his line of sight, one second, two seconds…

Doreen gave in: “Why do you have to know this? Knowing too much is not good for you! As far as I know, the client’s background is not simple!”

Yan Yunqing crossed his legs, his posture lazy, “That has nothing to do with you. You just need to answer my questions honestly.”

“…”

Doreen struggled, the expression on her face changed back and forth. It could be seen that she really didn’t want to tell Yan Yunqing the truth, but due to the danger to her life, she had to tell him, so she could only struggle here.

Yan Yunqing wasn’t in a hurry and waited for her to think. As long as Doreen was smart, she would know that it was best not to lie to a person who controlled her life and death.

Doreen shivered, as if she felt the strong malice from Yan Yunqing. After a long time, she slowly opened her mouth, “Holy water.”

“What?” Yan Yunqing thought he had heard wrong, “What did you say?”

Doreen couldn’t help glaring at Yan Yunqing, “Aren’t your ears very good? You heard my light footsteps before, but now you can’t hear me? Holy water, holy water! Did you hear me clearly!”

Doreen was puffed up, and the last sentence was almost roared out. If Yan Yunqing hadn’t arranged a soundproof magic circle in advance, this sound would have woken up the people sleeping next door.

Yan Yunqing: “Holy water?”

His expression was strange, “What do you want that thing for? Don’t you know that those things are fake?”

Holy water, as the name suggests: water blessed by the gods, used for blessing, exorcism, healing, etc.

This is a more official explanation. In fact, it is a way for the Church to control people’s hearts and spread faith by using certain metaphysical methods.

Holy water generally refers to the spring water offered in front of the statues in the main halls of various churches. Perhaps before the God of Light was killed by the Demon King before the Divine War, that holy water was really useful. After all, it was offered in front of the statues, so it would definitely be Contamination with a lot of light elements, and light magic is mostly used for healing, exorcism, etc., so the holy water at that time was really a little useful.

Now that the God of Light has been killed by the Demon King, and the remaining Goddess of Light is a god fabricated by the Church, the spring water offered in front of the statue is now just ordinary water.

There is not much more light element than in other places.

Perhaps ordinary people can’t feel it, but since they have become thieves in the Thieves Guild, Yan Yunqing doesn’t believe that Doreen can’t feel that the holy water in front of the Church statues is just ordinary water.

“If you want holy water, just find a church and steal some, this is exactly what you are good at.” Yan Yunqing began to suspect that Doreen was lying to him again.

Doreen was very innocent. Seeing that Yan Yunqing’s expression was strange, she explained, “It’s not that kind of ordinary water. Do you think I’m so stupid? The holy water I want is offered in the Holy Palace of the Church.”

Yan Yunqing: “…Is there a difference? Could it be that the holy water in the Holy Palace of the Church is clearer than the holy water in ordinary churches?”

The Holy Palace of the Church is the headquarters of the Light Church. The Pope and several cardinals are in it. The newly established Holy Palace of the Church is sandwiched between the two great empires, and the surrounding towns basically belong to the power of the Church.

“There is a difference.” Doreen paused here, “It is said that those holy waters were inherited from the ancient Divine War era. They still have the early grace of the God of Light and the favor of the current Goddess of Light. That holy water can dispel the filth left behind by the bones of gods and demons.”

“This is not fake. Someone was indeed polluted by the filth of the demons. The people of the Church used holy water to Purified the filth on that person.” Doreen added quickly for fear that Yan Yunqing would not believe her, “I have investigated the truth of this matter and have seen the person who was Purification.”

Yan Yunqing couldn’t help twitching the corners of his eyes.

Really? Can it dispel the filth left behind by the bones of gods and demons?

The current Goddess of Light is a fake. If this holy water can really do it, then there must be a blessing left by the God of Light. However, it has been more than two thousand years since the God of Light died. If it is really holy water left from that period, it must have a history of at least two thousand years.

Not to mention whether the water will dry up in more than two thousand years, even if it does not dry up, there must be a lot of microorganisms and bacteria in the water, right? The water is probably green. This is not two months, not two years, but two thousand years!

Thinking that Doreen was trying her best to steal a fake god’s things, for the sake of a bottle of rotten and smelly green liquid, the expression on Yan Yunqing’s face also became strange.

This, this is not good, right?

Isn’t this pit people?

Yan Yunqing felt that the client was pit Doreen. It was estimated that this holy water was just Frauding her. If there was really any, what was handed over to Doreen would only be a bottle of sewage similar to that from a Smell ditch.

Whether it can be blessed and exorcised is not to be mentioned for the time being, the method of use must be carefully considered, whether to pour it over the head or take it internally… right?

“So you want to save someone who has been polluted by demons or the bones of gods?” Yan Yunqing read this key information from Doreen’s words, “So you are so anxious to find the client of that task and Request that ‘Holy Water that can Purification’?”

Doreen fell silent, feeling despair at Yan Yunqing’s keen.

As long as she said a little more, this guy could Touch clear her purpose, but if she gritted her teeth and didn’t say anything, she would be threatened with her life by this guy!

She was really too difficult!

Yan Yunqing took Doreen’s silence as acquiescence. Looking at Doreen, who was still lying there Crooked in a strange posture because she was Confinement, Yan Yunqing thought about it and moved his mind to touch the Confinement spell on the other party.

Doreen, who was still Fall in in self-pity, suddenly liberationed her hands, and the whole person Paralysis on the bed, still a little unable to react.

Huh? She seems to be able to move?

Doreen moved her hands, and suddenly, the blood not flowing for a long time due to being Confinement made her hands numb. After Throw several times, Doreen felt a little better.

She made a carp and touched out a very hidden dagger from the inside of her thigh under her skirt, turned her head and Stopped over in the direction of Yan Yunqing.

Yan Yunqing slightside her head, stretched out her long legs, and trip fell Doreen who was flying over.

This time, without the soft bed as a Slowly, Doreen Strong fell on the ground,Falled.

Doreen:……

Yan Yunqing laugh laughingly, “Your body is stiff after maintaining a fixed posture, and you dare to flutter over at me? Besides, you couldn’t beat me in the first place, do you think you can beat me now?”

Doreen:::::::

Doreen lie on the ground and Autism, hearing this, she said hatefully: “I certainly can’t beat you in a head-on fight, I’m stronger than anyone in Stealing!”

Yan Yunqing found it funny, this guy was probably Forgot that she was also preparing to Stealing him just now, but was it useful? Didn’t she get Swing down by him as soon as they met?

Yan Yunqing was refreshed, and all the unhappiness of losing to You Qieer was found back from Doreen, the punching bag who had come to the door.

“Who is that person you want to save to you?” Yan Yunqing looked at Doreen, who was still lie on the ground and unwilling to get up, and asked coldly.

“Huh?”

Doreen was taken aback, looked up at him a few times, muttered a few times why should I tell you, but because Yan Yunqing’s threat to her was still in effect, she still answered: “…The teacher who brought me into the business.”
