Chapter 1380 Looking For

The short blade I used before fell into an inconspicuous patch of grass, and the surface was inexplicably stained with a lot of mucus.

The mucus is clear and white, and has a strange smell.

Frowning and holding back the smell, I picked up the dagger into the villa, quickly ran to the bathroom, rinsed it clean, and wiped away the water on it with a paper towel.

Then I put the short blade under my nose and sniffed it twice. Fortunately, the strange smell was much lighter, so I put the short blade on the table with confidence.

"What were you doing just now?" Lilea asked, "Why are you looking so flustered?"

"I don't know what's going on." I frowned and said, "This short blade is stained with a lot of inexplicable pale white viscous liquid, and it also exudes a strange smell."

In the hall, after everyone heard what I said, they all stayed away from me. No, to be precise, they stayed away from the short blade.

There was deep disgust in everyone's eyes, with an expression that said they would never get close to the short blade again.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

Just at this moment, Xiaozhi spoke.

We all cast our eyes on Gordo's face. As Xiaozhi's only translator, how come this guy doesn't have any consciousness at all?

Gordo stared at the short blade, stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, what's the matter?"

"What did Xiaozhi say just now?" I asked.

"Ah?" He turned to Xiaozhi and said, "What did you just say?"

"Zhi! Zhi Zhi! Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi!" Xiao Zhi waved his tentacles and repeated it again very unhappily.

"Oh, it said that the mucus on the weapon should be its saliva," Gordo translated: "Originally, it planned to taste the weapon, but after biting it a few times, it found that it couldn't bite, so it give up."

I heard that it was Xiaozhi's saliva, and I was relieved. Fortunately, it wasn't something strange.

At the same time, the onlookers all breathed a sigh of relief, gathered around again, and stared at the short blade.

Lilea took the short blade, looked at it carefully for a while, and thought about it for a few minutes, then asked me to fetch an unused piece of wood from the yard, and used the short blade to cut along the grain of the wood.

With a slight sound, the wood was easily cut from the grain, and because the short blade was extremely thin, the cuts were difficult to detect with the naked eye.

"So that's what happened." Lilea breathed softly, put the short blade flat on the table, and said, "I was thinking just now, as if I had seen this kind of tool somewhere. This is a tool invented by dwarves. The knife used to cut wood is extremely sharp, so the cut wood rarely cracks. However, because its cutting edge is too fine, the workmanship is extremely harsh and difficult. Therefore, a few years ago, This short blade has been replaced by other tools.”

"In other words, this kind of short blade is no longer in circulation on the market?" I asked.

"Yes," Lillea said, "but the circulation volume was quite large at the time. My organization included more than a dozen of these knives."

"Only a dozen?" I asked puzzledly: "Your organization shouldn't be too small, so why did you include so few?"

"Because there is a price but no market," Lillea said: "The cost of making this kind of short blade is very expensive, and the quantity produced is not huge. Basically, it is just produced here, and there are organizations over there who buy it at a high price. I included it The dozens of short blades I bought were also bought by luck."

"Actually, you don't need to cherish this kind of short blade so much anymore." Yula said with a smile: "With Xiaoyi's current position in Fort Vicky, with just one order, there will be countless short blades like this. If you send it here, it will be too heavy if you use it as a throwing knife."

"Yeah~ That makes sense." Lilea nodded in agreement: "I used to really want to throw this short blade as a flying knife, but there was no chance at that time. It's different now, right, Xiaoyi~"

She winked at me and I shivered.

Following Lilea's instructions, all of us got busy in the villa together.

Fortunately, there are more people and strength, and Emily's Rose Legion team also helps. Soon, we found more than twenty places in the villa where short blades and tools may be used.

I wanted to use the knife myself and cut it open everywhere, but Lilea stopped me. She said that she was a professional spy and was better than me at this aspect.

Lilea cut and removed the walls, floors, ceilings, etc. in the villa one by one with a professional angle. After half an hour, we found nothing, and the villa was also in a mess.

Throwing a wooden floor tile aside, Lilea wiped her sweat, drank a glass of water, and lay down on the sofa to rest.

Cajiali looked at the messy wall wood blocks on the floor and the pitted floor, frowned and said, "Xiaoyi, do you think those two people found the wrong house?"

"This won't happen," I affirmed, "When I opened the door, those two guys were getting tools to open the lock."

"But..." Cagalli looked around and sighed: "The house has been messed up like this, but we haven't found anything yet!"

"this"

I am also a little embarrassed. To be honest, seeing my house in such a mess is not a scene I want to see. However, I have been searching for so long, so I can't just give up.

"The things are in the villa, I'm sure," Lilea said suddenly.

Her words attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone was confused as to why she was so sure.

Lilea said: "Except for this short blade, all other tools are essential tools for spies and assassins. I think the two people Xiao Yi mentioned must not be ordinary thieves, but well-trained spies. It could also be an assassin. Since he is a well-trained professional, he will definitely not find the wrong target."

"Well, what she said makes sense," Jin Siqi said, "This is also equivalent to the fact that we adventurers will not attack the wrong weaknesses of familiar monsters."

"That's true, but can we really find what they want to steal?" Cagalli said dissatisfied: "Will the entire villa be demolished in the end?"

"But if you don't find something like that, can you sleep peacefully?" Lilea shook her head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep anyway."

Cagalli bit her lip and said nothing, but I could see a definite meaning from her eyes.

Yes, if she doesn't find what the two thieves want, let alone Lilea, even she will definitely lose sleep.

"Then" Cagalli frowned repeatedly. She hesitated for a few seconds, and finally made up her mind. She gritted her teeth and said, "Then look for it. But if the villa is demolished and the villa is in a mess, Xiaoyi, you will be responsible for tonight's stay!"
