Chapter 167: Hunting for the Forest Spirit Seed Part 6

Over the distance, a huge gathering of people with over fifty people on it could be seen scrambling around from one place to another doing various different tasks. Some were checking on their inventory, others were bringing in new prisoners, and there were also some that prepares themselves to go hunting for other victims.

The entire place might look like a mess, but there was a certain order and unity about it that confirms Kayn's suspicion that they belong in the same organization.

"TGA, what does that stand for?" Kayn looks at Gilbert and the others.

"Thieves Guild Alliance," Gilbert responded with a stern voice.

It was quite evident that Gilbert knew about this organization.

"So are they all assassins?"

"Most of them are. But there are still others who belong to the other classes. As long as they have talents in stealing and becoming a thief, they can apply to join,"

"What exactly is this organization about?"

"Believe it or not, they are actually a legal and a hero guild. People hire them not to steal though, but to scout and gather information," After all, they are still assassins, so scouting and gathering information is their specialty. "I was once part of them in the past before Chief George recruited me to join the Green Horn Knights, so I know them quite well,"

"Most of the time their members spend on scouting and gathering information for their client, but every now and then they would hang around in the boundary of good and evil. The grey area, you could say,"

"It hasn't always been this way. It only started when the previous guild leader was replaced because of old age. The person who replaced him was someone young and ambitious. He expressed his intent on becoming the richest man alive in 'The Bridge',"

"Let me guess, his way of doing that is by stealing other people's richest away," Kayn interjected.

"That's right," Gilbert nodded. "Although he doesn't want to steal everyone's richest. He only targets people who have the capability to easily earn what was stolen. Somewhat like Robinhood, except he doesn't give what he stole to the poor. Albeit they do give a lot of profit to everyone,"

"That is why although everyone knows about their dark secret, people still welcome them with open arms and invite them to be part of their alliance and organization. I think the reason why they are here is because the Village nearby is one of those groups who welcomes the Thieves Guild Alliance,"

"I see," Kayn could understand why.

Everyone always has a dark secret or two and they also aren't completely kind and good. There are also people who don't treat thieves differently, especially if they are only targeting a specific group of people. They might even say that one is just unlucky if they become a target of the Thieves Guild Alliance.

Needless to say, it doesn't mean Kayn agrees with the actions of the Thieves Guild Alliance. A bad deed will always be a bad deed regardless of how little it is.

But what he does understand is that the way things work for the people living in 'The Bridge' is completely different from those back on Earth and inside the 'Tower'.

A man has to do everything in order to survive in 'The Bridge'. And with how limited the resources available for them here, it isn't strange for them to occasionally choose to walk the life of a thief or to even allow a thief to stand beside them.

Looking around their base of operation, they could see multiple medium-sized cages with some being empty while the others have people trapped inside.

Clearly, those people were unluckily caught after falling into their Quick Sand Operation.

Fortunately for them, they weren't treated harshly by the members of the Thieves Guild Alliance. As a matter of fact, their cages have all basic commodities such as a chair, small bed, table, and even food and some normal clothes to change into. There was also a mask hanging around the corner, probably in preparation in case the Drowsy Mushrooms in the surrounding area spew out their mist.

Speaking about the Drowsy Mushrooms…

Kayn soon notices that there is a huge number of Drowsy Mushrooms surrounding the Thieves Guild Alliance's base of operation.

He immediately thought of an idea after seeing it.

"I guess we won't have to fight them, after all," Kayn said as he looks at Gilbert and the others.

"Seeing the look on your face, you are thinking of pulling some kind of stunt," Gilbert is already very familiar with Kayn. "Come on, tell us what it is,"

"See those Drowsy Mushrooms around them," Kayn pointed. "Do you think it would be possible for us to use it to our advantage?"

"Don't tell me that you're planning on releasing a dense amount of mist around this place and sending everyone here to sleep?" Gilbert immediately understood.

"Just the right amount," Kayn corrected. "You see, I notice the mask they are wearing isn't as effective as ours. We can definitely take advantage of that, right?"

"I suppose we can," Gilbert feels like it is possible.

"Since they are very busy, they shouldn't be able to notice the mist on time. And even if they could, not everyone would be able to evacuate and we can just simply take care of those who were lucky enough to escape,"

"So, how do you plan to split the labor?" Gilbert asked.

"This time, we will have to split up so that we can finish things fast. I believe everyone is capable enough to take care of themselves. And on top of that, we can also cause disturbance to the Drowsy Mushrooms in secret,"

"I think I have something that can help us," Gilbert started looking inside his Storage Ring. "Here they are,"

Waving his hand, Gilbert took out three ghillie suits that matches quite well the surrounding terrain of the Slumbering Forest.

Gilbert started introducing the suits. "These are special ghillie suits. They have the function to automatically adjust their color to match your surrounding. So long as you are careful, no one should be able to notice your movements,"

"This is perfect!"

Kayn and the others couldn't hope for anything more useful than these ghillie suits.

"Let's quickly equip ourselves with these and begin the operation Smoke The Rats To Sleep,"
