Chapter 993 Everything Is Separated by This Blade

If Yassen had been a player, he would definitely know a saying widely circulated on the forum: the weirder the lineup, the more handsome the player will be.

Because the most utilitarian lineup must be relatively fixed - after all, there will always be the so-called "optimal solution". Although there is a high probability that this optimal solution will not be able to meet the challenge intensity of racing, no injuries, and self-limiting difficulty, it will always have sufficient universality.

For example, when starting a game, I usually don’t like to bring in turtle-type players who are adapted to the path.

In another world line, there is no "warrior" profession in the adaptation path. This also means that the original adaptation path is basically either a hunter or a thief. Although their strength in pvp is quite good... But when you play the game, you will obviously feel that the damage is a bit scratched, and because of jumping around, it is easy to die suddenly in a strange mechanism that should not kill people...

But this does not mean that there are no masters in this type of profession - on the contrary, the probability of top experts in this kind of operational profession is quite high, much higher than the probability of mass professions with high lower limit.

Just like the old saying in martial arts novels in the past, it is said that when walking in the world, the old, weak, women and children are the ones you should not mess with... That's roughly what it means.

Yassen still couldn't hold back, and carefully asked the words that made Aiwass feel the most comfortable:

"...who are you?"

Upon hearing these words, the faces of the white-haired vampire and the little girl in his arms showed an unusually synchronized smile of teasing and satisfaction.

"'us?'"

The two-month-old son asked in unison, and then chuckled at the same time: "'Humph...'"

That strange synchronization rate is like a puppeteer operating a puppet and speaking ventriloquismally, which is chilling.

"Compared to who we are..."

"Iben" showed a sinister smile with evil intentions: "Shouldn't you ask more... why the Moon Son and Eagle Eye are looking at this place at the same time?

"What are you trading that can attract the attention of these two groups of people at the same time? What does this have to do with rescuing Sherlock?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Phantom Thief Yassen looked at Alice beside him.

At this moment, their expressions became extremely complicated.

That is definitely not the confusion of not knowing anything. They have a very clear understanding of their current tense situation.

In other words, they even knew that Hawkeye and Moonchild were already targeting them.

——Now that you know this, you still dare to do this?

Seeing their reactions, Aiwass, disguised as "Ritualist Ibn", raised his eyebrows.

He stared at Yassen for a while, then looked away and looked at Alice.

Aiwass asked directly: "If my prediction is correct...the things you trade are not expensive, right."

His words seemed like questions, but they sounded like statements.

"No……"

Alice responded subconsciously.

And Aiwass continued to ask: "Is it related to Mr. Yassen?"

"I……"

Alice suddenly realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, so she subconsciously turned her head to look at Yassen.

Although she was not acquainted with Yasen and had never met him twice...but she was still afraid in the face of such strong pressure.

Yet for Aiwass, not answering was also an answer—one that was clearly relevant.

"It has something to do with Sherlock?"

Aiwass looked into Alice's eyes and said immediately before she made a sound: "It seems that it is not involved, or you don't know - it is related to Yassen's cross-dressing skill?"

"Woo..."

"Well, it's related. So it's some kind of material? No, then it's intelligence? It's not..."

Aiwass didn't need her to answer at all.

For Alice, who is new to the world, her subconscious eyes, actions, and reactions are enough to reveal her true inner thoughts.

That is more believable and more naked real information than words that have been thought and organized - even if you close your eyes, it will be useless. For a fifth-level moon child, from this distance he could easily hear Alice's heartbeat, as well as the subtle smell of blood on her body when she was nervous or relaxed.

"...enough."

Yasen felt helpless and interrupted the ruthless pursuit of "Iben Ritualist": "I'm telling you directly... there is no need to bully her like this. She is still a little girl... we can be considered half allies, Isn’t it?”

He didn't directly say they were allies - after all, he couldn't be sure of these people's true attitude towards Sherlock. With a respectful and cautious attitude towards Shylock, even if the other person suddenly turns into Pope Aiwass, he will never easily believe the other person's identity...

If he could be deceived into taking away important information related to the safety of his friends, he wouldn't be called Yasen.

Regardless of whether the other party is a friend or an enemy, as long as the other party is also unsure of his position, he has room to pull. And the trump card in his hand is more information about Sherlock - if the other party is a friend, they can rescue Sherlock together; if the other party also plans to snatch Sherlock away, he can also drive the tiger away and devour the wolf...

On the other side, Alice became tearful as she clearly realized that she had inadvertently exposed too much information.

He sighed, picked up the too-light suitcase in his hand with one hand, and put it on the table.

"oh?"

Aleister used Ivester's characteristic drawling tone and joked: "Is it okay to open this thing directly in public?"

"No problem. After all, strictly speaking, it's not a treasure..."

Yassen said, taking out a small key and opening the locked suitcase.

There were only a few things packed into the large, heavy-looking suitcase.

Opening the box, there were three or four pieces of women's clothing inside. It looks like the same style that Alice is wearing. There are also jewelry boxes stacked up like lunch boxes. The box was obviously very light before, but it would make a loud collision sound because they were gradually shaken to the edge of the box from being wrapped in clothes.

Seeing this, Aleister looked at Yassen with a perverted look: "Is this... what you are going to wear in the future?"

The reason why Yasen is called the Phantom Thief is because of his superb cross-dressing skills. Whether it is the elderly, children or women, they can change as they wish. This is obviously a special skill that belongs to the path of beauty, and belongs to the same category of actor profession as Isabel.

But no matter how strong his cross-dressing ability is, it is still not a tantric-level extraordinary skill. He still couldn't conjure clothes out of thin air...

Apparently being stared at by a little girl like this made even Yasen a little unable to hold back.

He coughed lightly, avoided the topic, and whispered: "The main transaction is actually this..."

As he spoke, he pulled out a heavy key from the pocket of the third skirt.

It was a silver key about the size of a palm, with a hollow diamond shape at the end. It is engraved with Elvish runes, which means "All things are separated by this blade."

"This is……"

Aiwass stared at the key and his expression changed slightly: "You still say this thing is not valuable?"

"What's this?"

Even Alice herself, who was transporting the item, obviously didn't know what it was.

She was even startled - because she didn't know why this thing appeared inexplicably under her skirt.

The reason why she thought the things inside were not valuable and related to Yasen... was because in her understanding, these were just some old clothes given to Yasen.

Yes, all the dresses and jewelry in this box are Alice's own, and they have even been worn by her in public.

Because her mission was to give her clothes to Yassen. This allows the Phantom Thief to play himself in public and enter Duke Harcourt's birthday party.

The relationship between Harcourt and the two Dukes of Vendôme is not very good. As the son-in-law of Duke Vendôme, Yassen is obviously impossible to enter Duke Harcourt's birthday party. And he must steal something crucial from Duke Harcourt... which is why Alice will cooperate with him.

This was originally Hawkeye's mission - it is said that it was rare for Hawkeye to reach a unified interest relationship with the Rogue.

But when Alice saw the strange key, she realized something was wrong.

——She obviously found these clothes one by one from her own home! Before she put them into the suitcase, she checked the pockets of all the clothes to see if there was anything she accidentally left inside... After all, she had no intention of putting these clothes in after they were given to Yassen. Taken back.

Giving her clothes to the phantom thief who is considered a heartthrob in Iris is not something worth resisting for the bold and naughty Alice. However, wearing clothes worn by others on herself... just thinking about it made Alice feel a little uncomfortable, and even a little itchy.

She stood up immediately, looked at Yasen beside her with caution, and subconsciously distanced herself half a step away.

——Even though she is naive, she is still more or less an assassin.

Now, her instinct clearly told her that she was being used!

Obviously, the information the middleman gave to him and to Yasen were completely different from the beginning! So much so that she didn't know the full story of the transaction... If the "Iben Ritualist" hadn't suddenly appeared in the middle, she might have been complacent about having completed the organization's mission.

Alice only felt cold all over her body. It was already a hot early summer, but she felt a ringing in her ears in a bar that was as noisy as a fire...

...Alice has quietly completed many times this kind of secret transaction by taking advantage of her identity as the daughter of a duke and her professional advantage as a reporter.

Every time, the name is "for the sake of destroying the Children of the Moon" and "for the sake of those poor and pitiful children."

But now it seems that who knows how many contraband items that can make people rich overnight are hidden in the "goods of hope" she transported?

How many bad things are there that can harm people’s lives? How many are sensitive documents or items that, if discovered, could put the Harcourt family in crisis?

It would be fine if she voluntarily transported them, but she had no idea about these things from the beginning - this was undoubtedly a despicable deception.

——Although she lacks experience as a transcendent and an adventurer, Alice's experience as a "new aristocrat" is rich enough.

Once doubt begins, it never ends. It is like a cancer that relies on tumor metastasis called "deception" and draws nutrients from it to strengthen itself.

She instinctively made a check and balance to protect herself: "It's like this, Mr. Iben..."
