Chess Mage of Faerûn

Chapter 135 The Night Raid Investigator
After the banquet, Zhang Yuan took out more than thirty gold coins and gave them to the smiling waiter, in return receiving a seductive look and the treatment of having his arm wrapped around a pregnant woman.

After thoroughly enjoying the wonderful sensation on his arm, Zhang Da Guanren still restrained himself from ignoring the other party's subtle hint and turned to leave with his teammates.

Ever since he acquired those three siren maidens, this guy's standards have really risen quite a bit. The waitresses in this tavern are indeed quite pretty; in his previous life, with a little dressing up, they would have been internet celebrities. Not to mention they also have the racial bonus of being half-elf with pointed ears. But compared to Syl, well... Hmmmm.

On the way back to base, most of the teammates, except for those who were on duty the next day, were a little tipsy, especially the two short, heavy drinkers.

These two clowns, who were fighting like buddies just moments before, are now acting like best buddies. Taking advantage of their drunken antics, they play drinking games even after they've run out of alcohol. The loser has to take out his water pouch, take a sip, and then spit it out when he realizes it's cold water. They keep doing this over and over, having a great time.

On the contrary, it was the big man Münster who impressed Zhang Yuan. No barbarian from the north was not averse to alcohol. Münster was not completely a teetotaler, but at this moment, although his face was slightly red, his eyes were very clear, his steps were steady, and he could even maintain a certain level of alertness and reaction ability while walking. He was able to control his desires, which was really not easy.

After arriving at the camp, everyone returned to their rooms. After washing up, Zhang Yuan also went into his room and closed the door behind him.

He has a very important matter to attend to right now. He had already offended his cheap teacher when he arrived at the camp in the afternoon, and then he made a fool of himself at the dinner party. Given his personality, he's probably going to explode.

Fortunately, his life camping in the wild made him prepare a bunch of alarm spells for safety at night. They have no offensive power, but they can serve as a warning.

Magical Alert (First Circle Protection) + Leomon's Trap (Second Circle Illusion)
The first spell, as its name suggests, automatically alerts when someone enters the warning area. The latter, however, is not an actual trap and does not function as one. Its purpose is to mislead intruders, thereby concealing the real trap and alarm.

Not only did he cast the spell, but to be absolutely certain, he also summoned a chess piece:
"Besides the axe, I also have my fists!"

A burly man with red skin leaped out; it was none other than the level one orc warrior—Axe King.

This ordinary chess piece, besides having high health, relies on its own Battle Cry skill.

Berserker's Roar: Axe concentrates the hatred of surrounding enemies onto himself, causing them to attack him at any cost. This effect ignores spell immunity and grants increased armor for three seconds.

To avoid causing unnecessary harm, Zhang Yuan simply had Axe King drop his axe and then crawled into the wardrobe to hide.

Although it was a bit strange to let a male-looking chess piece hide in his room's closet, the thought of the possible spectacle made him chuckle lewdly. His lewdness was enough to make young women and wives from his past life call the police at the mere sight of him.

Unlike winter nights, when people have to close their doors and windows and seal themselves under thick blankets or in front of the stove, summer nights are always so enchanting.

The silver moon and stars hanging high in the night sky generously scatter their light, penetrating the windows of thousands of homes below and illuminating the colorful dappled light inside.

The evening breeze, following the footsteps of the starlight, jokingly entered people's homes, gently blowing away the summer heat and sending smiling people into deeper dreams.

In this tranquil peace, how could the insect choir be absent? Their wondrous music added a touch of liveliness to the otherwise silent night, while also serving as a prelude to the arrival of an uninvited guest. Nancy was furious, and the consequences were severe.

The thought that her traitorous disciple dared to bar his teeth and claws at her, and that she was powerless against him and suffered repeated setbacks, made the free-spirited female thief unable to bear this humiliation. She immediately took revenge and attacked without delay.

With agile movements and light steps, Nancy, dressed in black night clothes, was like a black cat gliding through the night. She silently crossed the wall of the camp, nimbly climbing up the uneven bricks and stones, and in a few moments grabbed the outer window sill of Zhang Yuan's room.

In the dead of night, a turtle-like figure appeared outside the window, which should have been empty and deserted. This was certainly not the female thief practicing her turtle-like kung fu; she just needed to confirm one thing first.

"As expected, that bastard is still living in the same room as before." Having stayed at the base for two months, how could Nancy not know the layout of the place? This was one of the reasons why she was able to sneak in so easily; after all, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own ranks.

After peering around several times and confirming that the target was indeed in the room, Nancy smiled, but her teeth were grinding back and forth, giving the smile a hint of malice.

He took out a hook-shaped wire, inserted it into the crack in the window, and gently pried it open. The latch behind the window was opened with a soft click.

Gently push open the window, press your hands on the windowsill and push off with all your might, like a nimble cat leaping or a turtle flipping over, and you'll be inside.

Seeing the rebellious disciple fast asleep, Nancy smiled silently. She reached into her robes to pull out something she had prepared beforehand, intending to surprise him. However, she quickly reconsidered, realizing that this guy had a whole host of fancy tricks up his sleeve, so it was best to be cautious.

Having been a wanderer by trade, the sharp-eyed female thief searched around and indeed found a trap set next to the other party's bed, which seemed to be a magical artifact.

However, this was no challenge for Nancy. She was not one of those clumsy newbies; Nancy, a seasoned shrew, had plenty of ways to deal with these things.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, he pulled out a steel chisel and a dagger, located the core of the trap's magic circuit, and used the lower end of the dagger's hilt as a hammer and the steel chisel as a nail, smashing it hard into that spot.

However, the strike missed its mark, and the magical trap vanished instantly as if it were a bubble. Nancy, who hastily withdrew her strength, almost fell to the ground.

Before she could even figure out what was happening, a sharp alarm blared throughout the room.

This is really bad. The thought immediately filled the mind of the female thief who was raiding at night. The dagger in her hand slipped silently and fell to the ground with a soft sound.

Nancy, her face pale, couldn't continue her plan and turned to jump out of the window. But as soon as she turned around, a roar suddenly exploded in her ear.

"Thief Sun!"
