After chatting, Bernardo finally understood that this long-famous young magician, coming to Skyrim this time, has an important item that will be transported through the secret line of the Thieves Guild. Originally, the existence of an organization like the Thieves Union would not be discussed by ordinary people in the face of it. Even if it was mentioned, it was mostly disgusting and disgusting. But Bernardo and Alice are different-they are both people who have practiced magic and magic. They naturally know these dark corners under the sun, and in most cases have to touch them. For example, if the moonstone used for advanced enchanting training is purchased from a mine on the right track or from the East Empire Company, the price exceeds one pound and fifty septin gold coins, and the purpose of the purchase and tax bill will also be recorded. , Documents from the Cyrodir Tax Office will always trouble you for the reason of "inaccurate accounts"; but if the purchase is made from a supplier obtained from a special channel by the thieves’ union, the same quality and weight The price of moonstone will not exceed thirty Septim gold coins, and there will be no subsequent troubles-of course, how to distinguish whether these stones are adulterated with fakes depends on the buyer's own Discrimination ability-a high-level magician, it is impossible to be deceived in such trivial matters, to make mistakes.

Therefore, Alice would carelessly tell a colleague who is also a magician about her involvement with the Thieves Guild. This is not a good thing for ordinary people, but it is normal for a magician. It's not a thing, and it's like necromantic magic, something that ordinary people can hear. The fact is the same, Bernardo just nodded lightly after listening, expressing his understanding.

However, when Alice asked Bernardo why he was here, Bernardo's expression was not so good. After he euphemistically emphasized many times that he was only temporarily negligent and was touched by the **** little thief, Alice still couldn't help but laugh out--a magician of not low level, unexpectedly The precious sword was stolen by an unknown thief, this is really--

"Hey, do you know." After smiling enough, Alice adjusted her expression and said, "Actually, it is quite strange that members of the Thieves Guild can succeed during this period of time."

"How do you say?" Bernardo just felt a little embarrassed when Alice laughed, and her words made herself a little confused.

"Recently, thieves’ luck is very bad...especially the high-ranking thieves here in Skyrim." Alice thought for a while and said, "Can you imagine that a thief touched a lady’s bag, but I was caught in a mousetrap inside, and finally hacked to death by the guards who came after hearing the news."

"...This is really unlucky... No, why is there a mouse trap in a lady's bag?" Bernardo nodded with deep conviction, and later found that something seemed wrong.

"Because the mouse trap also contains a compound device that can spray frost venom. It was originally used by her to kill her husband in order to deceive an inheritance... But this is quite normal. There was a high-ranking thief with a title. When he escaped, he was shot in his neck by a little guy who had only been a guard last month.

"This is too bad for him." Bernardo curled his lips.

"Yeah...If he didn't happen to step on a piece of watermelon rind, the arrow must have been missed." Alice spread her hands and said helplessly.

"Um... that's the case. This is really unlucky." Bernardo felt it this time.

"Ah, there is another...It is said that when a thief was resting in the wild, he yawned because he was too sleepy, but was dropped by a big bird passing by a nightshade seed, which happened to fall on his In his mouth..." Alice raised her forehead.

"..." Bernardo didn't know what to say at all.

"In the end, this is probably an exaggeration... But the total value, the members of the thieves' guild recently have generally been unlucky." Alice said, "That's why I said that your things will be stolen. It's surprising-it's surprising that the members of the Thieves Guild can succeed, and the person who is stolen is actually someone with good strength like you, so it makes people feel...puff, funny...hahahaha ..."

While she was talking, Alice couldn't help but laugh again, Bernardo just gave her a gloomy glance, too lazy to care. However, he is also a little strange. This legendary, outstanding master of the same age, seems to be inconsistent with the rumored character?

"Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't mean... I just couldn't help it." Maybe Alice realized that her actions were rude, but finally tried to control her laughter. "Anyway, you will be here. I also know the reason...Anyway, the two of us basically have to wait today. Why don't we do something to pass the time? How about playing a tug of war?"

Spell tug-of-war-a pastime game between magicians. Both parties use magic power to construct a small lightning chain, and then use their own ability to control magic power to keep the chain constant, while the output is stable, while pulling the surrounding items to In front of you-under the premise that the item itself cannot be damaged, the sooner you can pull the item to your side, you will be able to win. Of course, the participants need to have two people, these two people are naturally Bernardo and Alice. The mages occasionally use this kind of little game to learn from each other.

"It can be...but I definitely can't beat you." Bernardo scratched his head. This kind of unsuspecting duel seemed a bit...

"Um...it seems to be the same. Then, I only use the magic of one hand, and I don't need to enchant jewelry-you can take the bracelet from me and use it." After thinking about it, Alice said, "This way you There is some chance of winning."

"Um... well then." Although the gap is still not small, Bernardo felt that after listening to it, it might be a bit messy.

"Okay. Then use this book." Alice put down the book in her hand that recorded the legend of the Nords. She had read the content inside. "Be careful. If you lose, you will lose. Don't break it. Up."

"Okay." Bernardo smiled, and took the bracelet that the girl handed over-suddenly, the full sense of magic flow made him very comfortable. However, just when the two of them were about to start releasing magic each--

Boom! A loud noise broke the tranquility of the night and also stopped the movements of the two hands at the same time.

The next moment, a long scream made the two of them look different.

"This voice..." Bernardo frowned.

"Ah...werewolf...in Snowman..." Alice said softly.
