Chereads / Steps to Legend / Chapter 5 - Theft

Chapter 5 - Theft

I left the courtyard quietly did not go to the main gate followed to the outer wall of the complex I followed the wall until finding a side exit. I waited for the guards to pass me and managed to leave the compound.

I was dressed in black and was small without one watchful eye no one could see me in the night.

I reached the center of the city and saw the gun shop had a light on the second floor and the windows were closed 'As I thought he it is examinete the new items there.'

I started checking the buildings around the store everyone they were their you lights out. I got close to the side wall of the store there was a small fissure between the walls only child could pass through it 'Lucky I'm small could not move well if I was bigger.'

After checking the wall I found a crack in the base, grabbed the tools I bought from the mining store and started drilling a hole in the wall being careful not to make any noise.

After knocking for a few minutes I managed to make a small hole, I caught the drug had made earlier after drying in the sun it turned into stones, these stones when burned release a lot of smoke and when inhaled have the same effects as ingesting directly, it takes longer than when it is consumed but the effects are the same.

I put a tube in the hole and at the outer end I put some stones then I set them on fire, closed the end of the tube that was next to me and waited for the stones to burn and release the gas.

I repeated the process until all the stones I had are overes 'Must be more than enough for the drug to work.

I pulled the tube out and headed for the front door while putting a cloth over my nose and mouth. When I opened door I could see green smoke coming out of the store.

I went in and closed the door I up the stairs and when I reached the second floor I could see the salesman sitting in his chair looking an item with apathetic eyes.

I approached him and spoke in a calm voice, "You look tired, you must have worked hard why don't you rest a little? But to rest you better take off your ring and remove the restraint for help to you relax."

He turned to me slowly, after looking at me for a few seconds he turned to the table, took off his ring and set it aside, then leaned over the table and began to sleep.

'It really worked, now can take this ring for myself.' I quickly took the ring. The reason I did made this drug and not a sleeping pill was that it was necessary that he removed the seal of possession over the ring I could not place or remove items from the ring and the owner could track me with the seal. I put on the ring I cut my thumb a thin line of blood ran down to the tip from my finger forming a drop of blood that fell into the ring so I became its owner.

I had to hold on to contain the excitement. A magic item even though it's level is low is very precious even in the Shen family there must be no more than ten and now one of them is mine.

I used my conscience to chek through the inside. The ring had some several armor parts and some weapons.

'I don't have time to see everything now.' I looked around and saw some armor I caught them all and put them in the ring went down to the first floor and started to store all the items for sale.

'Let's see what's in here.' I tried the key I had but the door didn't open.

'Tsk, I was hoping it wouldn't open, I watched this place for a long time yesterday and the seller didn't come in here, there's no other key in the store either, this place must have something of value to Shen family.'

I picked up the explosive I had prepared, put it in the lock, lit the fuse and waited.

After a small explosion the lock had been broken and I was able to enter the depot. Inside the warehouse was dark, I went up to get the lamp to get a better look, the salesman was still leaning over the table sleeping.

I took the lamp and went down again, using the lamp to illuminate the room I could see what was inside. It was a very dusty room, it seemed that no one had entered it for a long time had a table full of papers, a shelf with some scrolls and a chest.

I went towards the table had several papers scattered and took one and tried to read but was too old and could not read what was written. I tried to read some of the others but could not read any.

I gave up trying to read and went to the bookshelf, took one of the scrolls, and opened it. I thought it would also be unreadable but when I started reading I had a big surprise so I started opening all else to be sure.

'All these scrolls are cultivation techniques from the all basic elements have and to some martial arts techniques and they all look very strong!' excited I looked around the room and my eyes focus in the chest.

I went to him and opened it but to my deception were some couple clothes some.

'Well I think that having some spiritual stones was to wait much. I will take can I sell. But whose room was this to have so much valuable stuff here? I don't think it's from Shen Wei after all he wouldn't leave this things here. I think about it later it's better to clean the room and stick to the with the plan.'

I was picking up the last papers on the table. I don't want anyone to know about this room. While taking the last paper it fell to the floor below the table.

I bent down to pick it up but as I got up I hit my head on the table "Ouch, I should be more careful."

As I turned to leave I heard the noise of something falling to the floor, I approached the table from which the noise came and saw a bright red crystal on the floor.

'It can't be, a crystal of a fire beast', I reached down and picked up the crystal it was a blood red color with some black spots that moved inside it like flames after staring at it for a while I got the impression to see a snake form.

Shaking my head, I put the crystal away and left the room 'Okay, the first part of the plan was a success now I better hurry to avoid being discovered. I have to go back before the midnight patrol.'

With that thought I went to the office to wake the salesman who was still under the effect of the drug, "Whose room was behind the shop because it was closed?"

"I don't know it's never been open since I'm here ten years."

"All right. Listen you stayed late examining the new items that came in. A tall man with brown hair and brown eyes appeared andstole all the items from the store. He was a cultivator with fire affinity and he could make small explosions using hand, tomorrow when you wake up you will scream you will call the city guards and tell them what happened, will draw a lot of attention and say that the stolen items were very valuable and that this store belongs to the Shen family, repeat for me."

The salesman began to say "I stayed late for inspecting new items and a man..."

When I arrived the door was closed, I tried the side door but it was also locked, I thought about giving up but I saw a tree that if I climb could jump inside the complex.

I climbed the tree and was about to jump when I saw my two brothers down talking 'What could be talking so late out here?' I decided to sit down and listen to what they were talking about as I could not go down now.
