Chapter 7 Cross Alley(1/2)
really.
When Soren sneaked out and walked around and pretended to pass by, two fully armed guards were already standing at the door.
There should be something valuable inside!
Since there is no way here, Sauron can only find the next target. There are many opportunities to pick locks in the dock area, which is enough for him to increase the thief level to level 3 or above. When the profession level is increased to level 3, ordinary locks will no longer be able to improve his thief skills. They can only find ways to sneak into Amber City to pry open those more advanced locks.
However, having the ability of a level three thief is enough. According to normal circumstances, there will be a hidden treasure hole near each city.
In addition to trap monsters, there is also a treasure chest.
That is the only extraordinary item that players can obtain in the early stage, and the value is absolutely amazing!
Under normal circumstances.
Such a treasure cave requires a team of adventurers about level 5 to win, but the advantages of the thieves are here. If the skills are superb enough, the thieves at level 3 can also sneak into it alone. The cave is a special geographical environment, where the thieves' stealth ability has a hidden +5 bonus value, and the dark caves can make them sneak more easily.
All skill points are assigned to stealth.
Sauron added the stealth skill to 68 points in one breath. Theft is not very effective at present. The 35-point skill value is enough for him to steal some unresponsive targets. This is very easy for a former legendary thief. Sauron can easily determine which big-bellied merchants cannot detect that he is stealing things. As for unlocking the lock, there are already 45 points, and it is more than enough to deal with the current ordinary locks. Only when you enter Amber City later may you need to improve.
The lowest skill is traps. It is OK to remove some simple alarm devices, but it is probably not OK to deal with traps in treasure caves!
The next time you increase the thief level, Sauron needs to increase the trap skill to 30 points.
……………………
"See this."
"When the thief profession is promoted to level 3, you can also gain an additional class expertise."
Sauron's figure wandered around the crowd. When he came out, he had already had a few more silver derrells in his hand, with an extraordinary human agility value of up to 20 points, which was enough for him to steal what he wanted before others could react. Not to mention that he had two very good personal expertise and abilities.
"Dexterous left hand [Personal expertise]: The thief has an extremely dexterous left hand in long-term training, permanently increasing his own agility value, and at the same time obtaining an additional 3 bonus points when stealing, unlocking, and removing traps."
(It is said that some kind of waste paper exercise can also exercise the dexterity of the hands. If you use the two hands alternately, you can increase the agility value by 2 points, but you must make a physical saving throw determination, otherwise your physical fitness will be reduced by 3 points.)
"Don't forget your eyes [Personal Expertise]: Long-term training allows you to have the ability to remember your eyes, easily remember the goals you have seen, permanently improve 1 intelligence, and get an additional 3 bonus points when you make memory judgments."
(If you can remember the names of more than one hundred actresses, your intelligence value will be permanently increased by 3 points, but your charm value will be reduced by 5 points, and you have a certain chance to understand the aura of obsceneness.)
(Please ignore the contents in the brackets. - Futu!)
The former is a rare personal expertise.
The latter is a special expertise that can be cultivated but is not so easy to obtain.
Many spell casting professions have spent a lot of effort to train themselves to gain personal expertise that they can never forget.
The day passed quickly.
Sauron pried open more than a dozen locks in the dock area and stole some property.
If it was once, someone would come to collect the offerings now. There are one or two warriors with a profession level 5 in the gang, and Sauron is not their opponent at all. A qualified warrior has a power value of more than 15 points, and has very good weapon expertise, as well as corresponding combat skills. Warriors with a profession level 5 or above have special combat talents and their power attributes may reach more than 18 points. Sauron, who used to have no professional combat training, was not their opponent at all.
No gang will squeeze these things into him alone!
It's a relatively generous income.
Soren stole a total of twelve silver derr, which was enough for him and Vivian to spend more than a month, and also accumulated professional experience to more than 200 points.
It takes 500 experience to upgrade the thief profession to level 3!
According to the current progress, at most one day is enough for him to increase the thief level by one level.
Level 10 civilian/level 5 thief.
This is considered to be entering the scope of the second-level profession, and at that time, Sauron can master the special ability of "shadow attack".
Among the second-level professions.
The thieves who specialize in stealth and master the "shadow attack" are the most dangerous!
Have the ability to kill one blow against others.
Slums.
When Sauron returned to the low shed where he lived, he immediately heard the voices coming from inside.
He pushed open the door and walked in. He saw a beautiful girl priest sitting on the stool. When he saw Soren, her expression suddenly became cold. He snorted gently to say hello, and then smiled at Vivian beside him and said, "Since he is back."
"Then I'll leave."
"You should be careful here by yourself. If you have any questions, you can go to the Temple of Morning Light to find me."
Vivian nodded obediently and immediately thanked: "Thank you, Sister An Yali."
This girl is an intern priest of the Temple of Morning Light. She believes in Karsoros, a god representing the light of the morning light, a god who fell soon after the beginning of the year of chaos. Karsoros is the god of the Lord of Light. She was the first to be hit by the demons of the abyss in the age of chaos. More than half of the gods fell in the god system of the Lord of Light!
I'm afraid this girl will soon lose some of her magical powers.
Her name is An Yali. After meeting Vivian by chance, she liked this little girl very much. The reason she helped Sauron was because of her.
Unfortunately, her magical level is too low and she cannot treat Sauron's injuries.
As a pastor who believes in the light of the morning light, An Yali actually hates Sauron, who is a thief, so he doesn't look good when he sees him most of the time.
Perhaps in her opinion, it is precisely because of these thieves and robbers that the public security in Amber City has always been so poor.
"What happened?"
Soren waited until the girl priest left, then squatted down, stroked Vivian's little head and asked, "Why did she come?"
Vivian glanced at him and whispered: "Today someone is sneaking around."
"It seems to be Cole's subordinate."
"Luckily, Sister An Yali came over, which scared them away."
"She also healed the wound on my back!"
Vivian raised his little hand and lifted up his clothes. The black and purple blood on his back had dissipated, leaving the slight healing potion that Sauron had bought through special channels nowhere to be available. There were no blacksmith shops or pharmacy stores in the slums. If you want to buy these, you must buy them from some black market merchants. Many weapons were lost like this.
"Cole?"
A trace of murderous intent burst out in Sauron's eyes. He didn't expect that the other party was so bold that he dared to send someone over as soon as he refused to accept him.
Does he really think he is easy to control?
"I will take you to the city tomorrow and find a hotel to stay in."
Sauron handed Vivian a piece of candy that he had stolen and whispered: "There are guards patrolling the city, and the public security is much better than here."
"You stay there safely."
Vivian lightly pointed his little head, stretched out his little hand to take the candy, unpacked it and put it in his mouth, and immediately smiled happily and said, "Brother!"
“So sweet and delicious!”
"You can eat one too."
She was always so satisfied with the small palm that the cheap inferior candies in the slums could also make her happy.
A smile appeared on Sauron's face and he opened his mouth and ate a piece.
Astringent, sweet.
This is a poor quality maltose that many nobles in the city disdain.
This is the only one in the slums.
Vivian stood up from the bench, patted the dust on Soren's clothes with his little hand, and whispered: "Sister An Yali is a good person."
"No one is willing to help us when you are unconscious."
"Only she is willing to help."
Sauron smiled and shaved her little Qiong nose, and whispered: "I know."
"She's a good person."
"We will repay her if we have a chance."
Although the young priest hated her, it is undeniable that she owed her favors.
Sauron is a person with a clear grudge.
It was dark.
The two began to prepare dinner busy, and Sauron brought back some bacon and some oil and salt seasonings.
The body of the stove tavern has been found.
The other people nearby looked at him with a hint of awe. When they occasionally smelled the scent of meat coming from there, they couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
Vivian ate a lot.
His belly was bulging. Seeing Soren's narrow gaze, his face turned slightly red, and he waved his fist with a little shame.
She hasn't eaten meat for a long time.
Very satisfied today!
Sauron just stroked her little head lovingly, and the two of them were talking casually. When the sky gradually darkened, they climbed onto the bed.
