It All Starts with the Wizard

The location of the secret room is not in this villa, but in an old house three or four blocks away from here. It happens to be on the edge of the most prosperous central area of ​​Ilot. The security here is also quite good, but it will not It's too strict. The first floor of the old house even runs a shop selling cloth. The business doesn't look good or bad.

The person who runs this shop is naturally from the Jones family, but no one knows it, and no one would have thought that the Jones family would arrange such an important secret room in such a place. Even a third-rate thief would be able to slip away. Go in and patronize.

But in fact, the location of the secret room is on the second basement level of this shop. The first floor is full of worthless cloth and groceries. It looks like a warehouse. No thief will be interested in this kind of bulky and worthless cloth. They usually go to the account room on the second floor of the shop.

Roman looked at the shop in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh for the cunning of the person who came up with this idea. If Diana hadn't told him personally, he wouldn't have thought it would be here. Don't think that this arrangement is just a simple use of people's Thinking blind spot, because Diana also mentioned that the person responsible for looking after the shop is a loyal servant of the family for many years, and his family is under the care of the Jones family, and he is also a trainee knight.

And at different times of the day, there will be guests pretending to be family guards to confirm the situation in the shop. Once they find anything wrong, other guards who are arranged to live around will immediately surround the place. Yes, many residents living nearby , Also arranged by the Jones family.

　　The only way to enter the secret room is for the Diana to be there in person, or to have the token and key she gave.

　　 Roman walked into the shop and looked at the cloths of various colors hanging on the wall. Soon, a young guy came over and said to Roman with a smile:

　　 "Does the customer want to buy cloth? I don't know what style I like?"

　　 Roman glanced at him, it was obvious that he was just a mess.

　　 "Go and call your boss, there is a big business."

　　 Romance talked directly with him every time.

　　 The young man’s expression was a little hesitant, and he didn’t know what to do for a while. This is another voice coming from the shop:

　　 "The guest laughed, what big business can I have in this small shop."

　　 Roman looked at the voice, a thin, rickety old man walked up the stairs with his hands on his back, then sat slowly behind the counter, and looked at Roman with a smile.

Roman also looked sideways and squinted at the old man. At first glance, he looked like a dead man, and his movements were no different from ordinary old people. However, the occasional light flashing in his half of his eyes still made him look dead. Roman has the illusion that he is back.

　　 "Sure enough, this old man is not easy. Even if he is not a formal knight, his strength is definitely not comparable to that of Hayt's few hairy boys."

　　Roman thought to himself, then walked to the counter, and then leaned on the counter with his arm, took the gold coin out of his pocket with his right hand, and slowly pushed it in front of the old man with his index finger.

　　 "Old Will, the lady asked me to fetch a few things."

　　 Old Will glanced at the gold coins on the table, reached out and wiped them, then looked carefully in front of him, and said at the same time:

　　 "Lev, go and close the door, it will be closed in the morning."

　　 The guy named Lev froze for a moment, then nodded, shut the door and went out without saying anything. It seems that Lev is also a member of the Jones family.

　　 After the door was closed, the light in the room dimmed suddenly, and the oil lamp hanging on the ceiling barely illuminated the scenery in the room. Roman's body was a little tight, and he unconsciously shook the cane in the handshake.

　　 Old Will was still carefully examining the token in his hand, but he said:

　　 "Don't be nervous, young man, why doesn't that girl Diana come by herself?"

　　 Roman smiled, still not letting down his vigilance:

　　 "Miss has other arrangements, you know, business is not doing well now, it is very busy."

　　 Old Will sneered, then finally stopped observing, and threw the token on the table, then turned around and picked up an oil lamp behind him, and walked towards the stairs:

　　 "The token is ok, then come with me."

　　 Roman calmly pressed the gold coin that was spinning on the tabletop, put it back in his pocket, and followed.

The stairs leading to the underground were a bit narrow. The old wooden stairs made a crunching noise from time to time, as if overwhelmed. Soon, the two stood in front of an iron door, and Old Will took out a key from his arms. The keyhole twisted laboriously for a while, and then he kicked the iron door twice with his foot before pulling the iron door open.

　　Roman looked at the back for a while speechless, this door, even if it is a powerful thief who picks the lock, there is nothing wrong with it, the lock is just a decoration, the back is the point.

Compared with the outside, the basement area is surprisingly spacious, but there are a lot of cloth wrapped in tarp, and there are many large and small wooden boxes placed in the corners, only a walkway is left in the middle. .

Old Will came to a shelf by the wall ~www.wuxiahere.com~ hung the oil lamp on the iron hook on the side, and then pressed it on the left side of the wooden shelf with one hand, a light white brilliance flashed on his body, and then a heavy shelf He slowly slid away to the side, revealing a dark hole in the back.

　　 Old Will hammered his own waist, then pointed at the hole and said:

　　 "Go on, get out as soon as you take things, old man, I am not in good health, it is too humid here, and I will have joint pain after a long time.

　　 has come, and Roman didn't have any hesitation. He stretched out his hand to take off the oil lamp, bent over and walked in.

　　 took a few steps, after turning a corner, a heavy iron door appeared in front of him, Roman took out the key, picked out the largest one, and inserted it into the keyhole.

　　 "click"

There was the sound of the door lock opening, and Roman gently pushed on the door, and the seemingly heavy iron door opened silently. Entering the secret room, there is not much space inside, only a huge wooden cabinet with many drawers. , There is a row of seven or eight locked large iron boxes next to it, and on the other side there is a desk and a chair.

Roman walked to the cabinet, and the drawers on it were not locked. He opened one of the drawers at will. Inside was a thick pile of parchment. I probably looked at it. They were all transaction records and contract details with the nobles. , Roman immediately lost interest, he now has no time or energy to engage in these.

　　 According to Diana's description, Roman directly opened the drawer on the far right side. Inside was an oval crystal like ruby, which could emit a slight red light even in the dark.

　　 "Yes!"
