Chapter 36: Light in the Darkness
"This should be it. Well, that's right, here it is. Chen Hao took out the map in his hand and confirmed, they had walked so far and finally arrived at their destination.
Ten meters away from them was a large tree more than 20 meters high, with several large and small tree holes in the trunk, and a branch about 20 meters long stretched all the way to the ground, like a ladder extending from the tree. Lots of hunters were in and out of those tree holes, and there was a striking sign in the open space in front of the big tree - Hunter Professional Guild.
"Wow~" Duo Duo looked up at the towering trees and let out an exclamation sound, while Chen Hao folded his arms to appreciate this even more rare treasure in the real world.
"What a big tree!" Duoduo exclaimed.
"Hmm." Chen Hao nodded.
"Duoduo has arrived, thank you, Brother Cangtian." Duoduo bowed politely to Chen Hao.
Chen Hao smiled and said, "Go ahead." ”
"Brother Cangtian, goodbye!" Duoduo waved goodbye to Chen Hao.
Chen Hao also waved his hand and said with a smile: "Go, Duoduo." ”
Duoduo took a deep breath and turned around and walked towards the tree behind her.
Chen Hao watched Duoduo's figure step by step on the long staircase.
Suddenly, Duoduo stopped, turned around and squinted at Chen Hao and smiled slightly, at this moment Chen Hao felt as if a fresh breeze was rushing towards his face.
Chen Hao also smiled, and just like that, he watched Duoduo turn around and step on the top of the big tree with light steps.
Chen Hao didn't know how, after meeting this little girl, all the depression in his heart would disappear, and Xiaolan's affairs were also put down by him, and his heart seemed to have been washed by a clear spring.
Chen Hao glanced at the big tree in front of him again, then turned around and left.
Next, it's time for Chen Hao to go to the thieves' professional union to complete the job transfer task.
Because this area is where the major professional unions are located, the thief professional union that Chen Hao is looking for is also nearby, and Chen Hao didn't take much time to find the thief professional union.
But when Chen Hao arrived at his destination, he was completely stunned by the scene in front of him.
A small thatched hut built of thatched grass without the slightest precaution appeared in front of Chen Hao's eyes.
I didn't look for the wrong place, Chen Hao's first reaction when he saw this dilapidated little thatched hut was to look at the map in his hand, and he looked at it carefully several times before confirming that he didn't look at the reverse map.
Chen Hao wiped his eyes again, and carefully looked at the sign erected in the open space in front of this small thatched hut, which clearly read: Qingfeng City Thieves Professional Union.
What the hell is this!
A professional union in the main city is just a small hut!
Chen Hao looked at the priest's professional union on the left, a huge European-style church, the baroque luxury architectural style was vividly swayed, and then Chen Hao looked at the knight's professional union on the right, a small castle is also very extraordinary in this city.
Is the Thieves Guild so poor!
Chen Hao dragged a few thief players who came out of this small hut and questioned them a few times, and finally accepted the fact that this small hut was the thief professional union he was looking for.
Chen Hao gently pushed open the dispensable and dilapidated wooden door, and asked towards the inside of the room, "Is there anyone?" ”
"Come in." A very loud voice rang out from inside the room.
Chen Hao walked in and found that the house was not only rotten on the outside, but even worse on the inside, with three roofs broken, and sunlight leaking in through the three holes and shining in the house.
A table, a cupboard, and two chairs are all there is in this room.
Holy, am I really not in the wrong place? This is obviously a beggar gang, okay!
A gray-haired old man was sitting on one of the chairs, looking towards Chen Hao, because his whole body was hidden in the dark, Chen Hao couldn't see what his eyes were.
"Sit down, kid." The old man spoke.
Chen Hao stepped forward and sat on another chair opposite the old man, as soon as he sat down, Chen Hao felt that this chair must be many years old, if he sat down a little harder just now, he would definitely sit on this chair badly.
"Son, why did you choose to be a thief?" The old man who was hiding in the darkness asked.
Chen Hao would definitely not tell him that when a thief can touch other players' things and sell them for money, he will not tell him that he is a thief in order to one day strip away the money-greedy village chief of Daxin Village.
Chen Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Because I like darkness, I choose darkness; Because I understand the darkness, I cherish the light more. ”
Chen Hao said it, and he felt that what he said was too level, mysterious and mysterious, specifically to deal with you old guys who like to play sharp.
The old man in the dark walked out, Chen Hao saw that he was wearing a black robe that had been washed a little whitish, with a shallow patch on the sleeve on his right, and a white beard on his face, but his eyebrows were black, and his skin was white and red.
The old man looked at Chen Hao kindly and said, "Cherish the light? Well, a good one to cherish the light more! It's been a long time since I, Philip, have seen such a virtuous young man, and who would dare to say that our thieves are all greedy for money and immoral? ”
When Mentor Philip said this, Chen Hao's cheeks were a little hot.
"I, Philip, joined the thieves' guild at the age of ten, and at the age of eighteen I became the master of thieves, and since then there is no place where I Philip can't go, and nothing that I Philip can't get, but I'm not happy. If you are not happy, what is the use of having these wealth? For a long life, it is just a mirror, a cloud of smoke. ”
"But one day when I gave a piece of gold to a penniless beggar, I laughed and laughed so much that I felt that day was the happiest day I ever had." Philip reminisced about the past, his eyes full of reminiscences.
"After that day, I scattered all my possessions and gave them to those in need. It was only in my life that I truly realized the true meaning of 'thieves have a way'. When Philip finished saying this, Chen Hao seemed to see that this old guy exuded a holy light that only a priest should have.
Master Philip looked at Chen Hao with expectant eyes and said, "Child, what you just said made me see your pure heart, and I really hope that you can pass on my beliefs." ”
Chen Hao couldn't bear to look directly into the master's eyes, he was afraid that Master Philip would be disappointed when he saw the turbidity and depravity in his eyes.
So Chen Hao lowered his head, nodded lightly, and responded with a "hmm".
"Ding"
System Prompt: Master Philip, the mentor of the Thieves' Guild of Breez City, has a +62 opinion of you
Damn, this actually increases the favorability.
Chen Hao thought to himself that it was okay that this was just a game, otherwise Chen Hao might really listen to Master Philip and become an upright thief.
Unfortunately, it's just a game.
Although Chen Hao deceived Master Philip, although he still stubbornly insisted on his thief path in his heart, although the old man in front of him was just an NPC.
But there was a wave of respect for Master Philip in his heart.
Because such a person, whether in the game world or the real world, should be respected as they deserve.
(The village chief can be a greedy man, an old thief can be an old man with a sense of justice.)
