C77

The night in the Loki Continent was very beautiful, with plenty of moonlight. There were two moons, one big and one small, high up in the sky, the other small like the earth, sometimes crescent-shaped, sometimes round. The big ones have always been round. It was glowing as brightly as the sun itself, but the light was much smaller, so the darkness of the Loki Continent was not that dark.

In this beautiful night, a black shadow flew like a large bird to the wall of the Mayor's mansion, cautiously scanning every corner of the mansion. This shadow was Loki. Tonight was the day of his and Kathleen's plans, and Kathleen had invited the officials of the city to a banquet. Roche, in the dark, groped his way into the lord's house.

Loki carefully observed the guards in the mansion, observing their movements. Loki did not move. He had to ensure the stealth of his actions, and Loki preferred to take more time. Loki, perched on one corner of the wall, searched with his sharp eyes like a falcon, thinking about his next stop.

The City Lord's Mansion was a rectangular structure with three towers at the top and the highest at the center. There were six soldiers standing at the gate below. There was also a team of 12 people in the mansion, patrolling the front and back of the mansion in a circular manner. They were all very vigilant and were a more disciplined army.

Luo Qi was constantly looking for an opportunity. Twenty minutes later, the patrol joined the guards at the entrance. "Their conversation came from below." "Rest, the lord has gone out. He didn't come back so early." "A voice from the patrol team said." Heh heh, that's right. Even the Madam and Young Master have gone, so it's fine if we relax a bit. " "The guard at the door responded." "Damn it, why don't I train with this sentry for a while and sweat a little?" Another voice answered.

At that moment, their conversation made the patrol members turn their backs on Loki, and the patrol just happened to obstruct the view of the guards at the entrance. Loki sensed that this was an opportunity, so he bent his legs and, with an inner force, leaped over the edge of the tower at an angle that was less than a month's worth of light.

Roche slid down the largest spire in the middle to a balcony. The balcony was separated from the house by a door, and Rocky couldn't see inside because of the curtains. There was no light in the room, so Loki carefully lifted the corner of the curtain. After confirming that there was no one inside, he slipped into the house.

Although the room was magnificent, it wasn't too big. There was a large European bed with a quilt made of silk wrapped in animal hair. On the wall behind the bed hung an oil painting, one of which was the mayor, Ian Yarrow, and the other, needless to say, his wife. At the side stood a few closets and a dressing table. In the center of the room facing the balcony was a small table with two wooden chairs.

Roche knew from the painting that this was the room of the mayor, Ian Yarrow. But he didn't know where to start, and Loki thought gloomily: If only we had a safe in the old world, we wouldn't have to think about it so much. Loki didn't want to waste any time, so he searched the wardrobe.

Very quickly, Loki completed his search in disappointment. The bedroom, thought Roche, was not necessarily the place where the most important things were kept. Loki was looking for Ian Yarrow's study. Loki opened the bedroom door to the outside one, but it was only a crack. Outside was a corridor that overlooked the hall on the first floor. Inside the hall, three servants were busy with their daily chores. The corridor formed a square circle around the hall, connecting the rooms.

Loki didn't know which study it was, so he searched the rooms one by one. At last he found it. It was a large room with a number of books on the shelves and a desk with stacks of papers on it, which Roche assumed was it. He stepped into the house and gently closed the door.

Luo Qi quickly searched the room, but did not find anything after five minutes. Loki began to search for a secret compartment. As he pulled out a book on the highest shelf, a small wooden board inside the shelf automatically moved away. Loki saw a box and couldn't wait to take it out. The box was filled with magic characters and was locked with magic characters.

Loki placed his palm on top of the box and sensed the magical elements on it. He used the magical elements to slowly permeate into the rune. The magic elements caused the runes to light up bit by bit until all the runes lit up and the box was opened. There were two books in the box, and Loki immediately took out a book and started flipping through it. It was indeed an account book. But Loki didn't understand. He was going to take the account book with him. He put the account book back in his pocket, put it back in the box, put away the book with the switch, let everything go back to normal, and left.

At the auction house, Loki was waiting in the yard for Kathleen to return. Loki came back, but before Katharina's party was over, Loki wandered around the yard. Before long, the sound of hooves could be heard outside. Luo Qi immediately went to hide behind the fake mountain. He didn't want to bow in front of so many people. If he could, he would avoid it.

Not long after, a large group of people entered. They were all here to see Catherine off. Kathleen waited for the group to be dismissed, then watched from the doorway of Lodge's house. Rocky came out from behind the rockery when he heard them go away. Seeing Kathleen at his door, he called out, "Princess Kathleen, did you leave something in my room?"

Kathleen saw Loki coming from behind her and let out a long breath, forgetting to talk back to him. She trotted over to Lodge and said, "Are you all right? Worried to death. "It's a good thing we didn't get caught. Right, did you get anything?" Loki smirked and said, "I got the account book, but I can't read it." As he spoke, he took out the account book and waved it towards Kathleen.

Katharina snatched up the ledger and began to read. It surprised Rocky, who did not believe that an Imperial princess would look at the books. Kathleen looked at it for a moment and then said, as if she knew it, "Well, yes, this is an account book." Luo Qi really wanted to kick her. After looking at it for a long time, he finally realized that it was an account book. As expected, it didn't pretend to understand.

Loki said impatiently, "Can I trouble you to find someone who can read the account books and come out?" Kathleen rolled her eyes at him unhappily. Kathleen said, "I didn't bring this man with me, so where can I find him?" Loki thought of Laurence, who had taken the account book back from Kathleen.

As he walked toward Laurence's room, Loki called Laurence's name. Kathleen tossed herself aside and glared at Rocky, unable to speak. Before Lodge could reach Lawrence's room, Laurence came out. Lodge hurried Lawrence over to the stone table and showed him the ledger.
