Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 440 - Evil Gemstone

Nie Yan looked around once more to see if there was anything else of value. But apart from half-finished potions, he found nothing else. He jumped off from the top of the cabinet, landing gently on the ground, and stealthily returned to the tent entrance. He lightly pushed open the flaps and peeked outside. Seeing that the two large groups of Bloodshadow Warriors had left, he breathed out a sigh of relief. As he made his way to the center of the encampment, the round building with a gold roof eventually came into vision.

Outside the building was a wide open square where Bloodshadow Warriors held practice drills from time to time. Nie Yan would have to enter this building to obtain the Armoured Ice Catapult Blueprints, but security here was tight. This would be an enormous challenge.

After sneaking past several Bloodshadow Warriors and approaching the square, Nie Yan spotted another one bigger than the rest. Built like a bear and clad in dark crimson armour, he stood guard outside the entrance of the building.

It's him! Nie Yan's mind trembled.

This fellow was the leader of the Bloodshadow Legion-Bloodshadow Warrior Furblaze, a Level 90 Lord!

Sneaking past him and entering the building was going to be incredibly difficult. But before that, Nie Yan would have to get past the more than 100 ordinary Bloodshadow Warriors patrolling the square first.

Thankfully, Nie Yan had already planned ahead.

Nie Yan circled around to the back of the building. It was built out of stone and painted a gold that glittered brilliantly under the sunlight. He inspected the walls with his hands and confirmed they were too solid to break through. The only way inside was the front entrance. However, that was so heavily guarded that even approaching would prove difficult.

Nie Yan opened up Divine Recruitment and summoned Paladin Kreuk. Glancing at Kreuk's stats, he had more than 12,000 health, which was quite substantial.

Paladin Kreuk could also buff himself with blessings, greatly increasing his own strength.

Nie Yan activated the Crawler Ring and slowly started climbing up the wall of the building, evading the sight of the nearby patrols. He arrived on top of the roof and made his way toward the ledge above the front entrance. He stayed there motionless. No one noticed his arrival.

Nie Yan looked down below and saw the leader of the Bloodshadow Legion, Furblaze, standing about eight meters away from him at the foot of some stairs. He could clearly see the back of Furblaze's head.

Nie Yan instructed Paladin Kreuk to circle back around the building and slowly approach the Bloodshadow Warriors standing on guard at the entrance.

Indomitable Will!

Paladin Kreuk hasted himself with several skills and charged toward the square. He would faithfully carry out Nie Yan's orders, regardless of what they were.

The Bloodshadow Warriors patrolling the vicinity were caught off guard by the sudden emergence of Paladin Kreuk.

Paladin Kreuk kept running, not stopping to attack anyone. Before long, a large number of Bloodshadow Warriors ran after him.

Furblaze also aggroed onto Paladin Kreuk and rushed forward with Charge. It would only take a brief moment for him to catch up and kill Kreuk.

How could Furblaze allow Kreuk to behave so arrogantly in his presence?

Seeing Furblaze successfully distracted, Nie Yan cracked a faint smile. His silhouette blurred as he jumped off the ledge and dashed into the building.

The interior of the building was far from spacious. There was a lounge that covered an area of eight by eight meters. Further back were rows upon rows of doors leading to various rooms. By the time Nie Yan came to this map in the previous timeline, every nook and cranny had already been explored. So, he had no clue what sort of treasures were hidden here. All he knew was the location of the items he was looking for.
