Chapter 37: The Chase
Thieves are a type of loiterer profession.
Wanderers, on the other hand, are mainly divided into three types: rangers, assassins, and thieves, and the supernatural powers they use are also very complex.
The power of nature, the power of shadows, the power of death, the fighting energy, the power of telekinesis, as well as the outcasts of the Magic Transformation and the Order of the Warrior Monks, and even the casters of spells such as mages and druids with low talent all act as wanderers.
It can be said that, apart from anger, there is almost any supernatural power among the wanderers.
However, in terms of combat style, all loiters rely on the advantages of agility and stealth to carry out loitering operations (guerrilla warfare, sneak attack, and covert action), and the difference between these three classes is mainly based on which aspect the loiterer himself focuses on.
Ranger is a kind of fighting profession based on guerrilla warfare and kite flying, mainly in the wilderness, most of whom are normal fighters, and there is no widespread misdeeds.
Assassins and thieves are much less popular.
Most of them live in gray areas, living by assassination and stealing.
Fortunately, the assassins were feared and despised by the daggers behind them, but many of them still relied on their own detection skills and much stronger combat power than thieves to join various forces. Or become an adventurer and mercenary.
Thieves are much worse.
Most of them survive by stealing and selling information in their respective thieves' guilds; The more powerful thieves will provide intelligence services for some of the bigwigs.
And the rest of the thieves will become adventurers.
The thief who had his eye on Nasha's dimensional bag fell into this category.
After all, if the local thieves' guild knew all about the important people on their territory, even if they didn't know Kyle, they would know the magic badge on his chest. Unless the guild doesn't want to stay in Sharpsburg, it won't attack the aristocracy.
Adventurers from outside don't have so many scruples, and after they succeed, they drill into the deep mountains and old forests, who can do anything?
This adventurer is a half-elf with a short stature.
Although he is a half-elf, his appearance is very ordinary, which makes people forget it in the blink of an eye. His footsteps are also very soft, but his walking posture is quite natural, and from time to time he turns his head to look at the stalls on the side of the road.
It's like a normal pedestrian.
Because of the bystanders, most of the adventurers at the roadside stalls saw the thief's purpose, but none of them squeaked.
Not getting into trouble is a must for an adventurer.
Those who have not learned this are either strong people who participate in adventurous life temporarily and for a short period of time, and are not afraid of trouble.
Either sooner or later you will be taught a lesson.
Besides, this thief didn't want the lives of those two little guysββββ he didn't have the strength to dare to take out a dimensional bag so easily...... That's a lesson!
A few minutes later.
Kyle and Nasha have made it to the second half of Mariner Street, where the alleys around it have become more populous.
In order to divert Nasha's attention from Pipilong, Kyle lent Nasha the Dimension Bag, which was supposed to be in his custody. I saw that she kept putting and taking out the money bag from the dimensional bag.
Never get tired of it.
Just as she was having fun, she suddenly felt a lightness in her hand, and the bag was gone.
"Ahh Dimensional bag! β
Hearing her screams, Kyle immediately looked at her, and immediately noticed that the dimensional bag in her hand was missing, and a gray figure was running quickly down the surrounding alleyββββ apparently premeditated.
"Nasha, stay here, don't run around, go directly to the city gate to find soldiers for help." It's less than a hundred meters from the city gates, where soldiers are stationed, and no one is going to mess around.
She didn't have to worry about her safety.
With just a few words, Kyle saw that the thief had climbed onto the house next to him with both hands and feet, and would let him run away if he didn't chase him any more. Immediately, Kyle wrapped his whole body in a golden air mass, and with the help of 'Wind Resistance', he chased straight in the direction of the thief's escape with a speed that could leave an afterimage.
It scared the adventurers who were watching the excitement next to him.
"Hey, did you see that? Garman, that kid, is so fast! β
A dwarf setting up a stall said to the young man next to him.
"Yes, I didn't expect Kyle Noones to be an elemental knight at a young age, in addition to being a mage. The most important thing is that the speed is indeed amazing, not inferior to that of a super-level swordsman (Juggernaut)............ Rohan, he looked away. β
The young man who spoke was clearly a swordsman.
Looking at Kyle's performance, his eyes flashed sharply, and he said solemnly.
In pursuit of higher speed, the swordsman did not wear a single piece of armor on the rest of his body except for his arm guards and shin guards, and carried a straight-edged knife behind himββββ which was also called a sword in Tyguras (except for scimitars, kitchen knives, and table knives, other knives were either called daggers or swords).
"Rohan? That's right! Speaking of Rohan, I don't seem to have seen him for half a day, Galman, do you know where he went? β
Hear the dwarf's question.
Swordsman Garman pointed to the alley where Kyle and the thieves had left and said, "Isn't that half-elf thief Rohan just now?" Kulin, don't you see? β
"What!!"
The mouth of the dwarf Kulin, who could eat a cow at this time, "That ugly bastard...... No, Rohan, the shame of the elves, has started stealing now! Mountains and flames are above, how can our 'Black Iron Sword' have such scum! β
"You're wrong to blame him, Rohan just wanted to lure Kyle Nornes to a place where no one was around, and he wanted to invite this mage to join us."
"Whew! I see, that's pretty much it. β
The dwarf Kurin poured himself a large sip of wine, "But looking at Kyle Nornes's performance just now, I'm suddenly a little worried about Rohan...... Galman, do you want to help him? β
"No need, Rohan has a lot of magic items on him, and there is no problem with self-preservation."
With that, the swordsman Galman closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
"Since Galman, your brother-in-law, isn't worried, then I'm worried about something." The dwarf muttered, and then went back to setting up his stall.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Kyle is chasing the thief down the alley.
The other party originally wanted to get rid of Kyle's pursuit on the roof of the house, but the half-elf found that Kyle's speed on the flat ground was far faster than him, and the idea of relying on straight-line speed to get rid of it was completely unfeasible.
As a result, he has to block Kyle's movement with obstacles in the alley.
From time to time, he threw clothes, rotten fruit, and even an unknown liquid from a roadside barrel, but Kyle smelled a foul smell when the half-elf splashed it for the first time.
If it weren't for the 'Wind Resisting Thaumaturgy', he would definitely be flying by now!
'Made, don't let me catch you!' β
Kyle was furious at his actions of 'throwing feces and fleeing', and he vowed to catch the thief and soak him in this liquid, so that the ugly half-elf could taste it.
The half-elf thief couldn't have been born with such agilityββββ cats weren't so agile.
There is definitely a force of nature in this.
Although there are very few individuals among humans who can cultivate the power of nature to the point where they can possess supernatural powers (more than fifty years of practice), it is not difficult for immortals such as elves, treants, and giants, and it is only a matter of timeββββ which may not be as long as the puberty of these races.
Although the half-elf does not live that long, it also has a lifespan of three or four hundred years.
The youth was almost up to par.
In 'Full Attribute Elemental Vision', Kyle does not find the presence of elemental/soul energy in him.
If it was a spellcaster, Kyle would definitely be able to feel the opponent's soul force field at such a close distance. Even if he can converge, but after convergence, he naturally can't cast spells...... I'm afraid the other party will not be so unwise.
The chase lasted three or four minutes.
Although the distance is still slowly closing, Kyle still feels that he can't afford to spend time with the half-elves like this.
"It's too physically demanding to use the 'power of the void' like this, I can only last another minute at most, and even if I catch up, I probably won't be able to defeat the other party at that time, so I have to change the method!" β
'Hmm......... Use up the four flashes stored in the 'Spell Sequence' and 'Magic Trigger'. As long as you bless the defensive magic first, there should be no problem. β
'All things are empty! β
As the spell was pronounced, Kyle suddenly appeared in front of the half-elf's eyes, startling the other party, but the half-elf reacted quickly.
I saw that the bracelet on the other party's wrist flashed, and the figure appeared on the roofs on both sides.
'Is it a magical equipment that consumes energy and casts some kind of spell?' It's the same as the 'Soul Forge Gauntlet of Serantis' in my hand, but I'd like to see how much energy you have. β
Kyle immediately flashed......
The half-elves also escaped again.
This was done three times, until Kyle's two feats were all used up in advance, and the other party stoppedββββ since he was not a spellcaster, the half-elf's energy was not enough!
At this point, Kyle realizes that the two of them have flashed into a dead end with no people, the houses on either side have no windows or other places to climb with their hands, and the distance is not narrow enough for the half-elves to prop themselves up on their legs.
Coupled with the fact that the other party's location is in the alleyββββ he has no way to escape.
After a long confrontation (Kyle trying to regain his strength, the other party trying to regain his energy), in the end, it was Kyle who spoke first.
"Half-elf, return my dimensional bag, I'll let you go, it's useless to delay time, my maid must have found soldiers to search for us, although they are slow, it will only take five or six minutes to find here."
Kyle pointed his sword at the thief, "You...... There is no escape! β
The face of the half-elf on the other side also changed.
Because what Kyle said was true, and when the soldiers surrounded him, there was really no way to escape. And with his combat strength, he will definitely not be able to escape Kyle's interception.
Half-elf... That is, Luo Han reluctantly found that he seemed to have died a big death.
He had intended to lure Kyle to a hidden but well-connected place to negotiate. But I never expected that before I arrived at the negotiation location where I had stepped on a little better, I was blocked by Kyle first.
No, you can't negotiate in such a passive situation. β
Rohan stares at Kyle, not wanting to miss a chance to get out of the situation...... And this seriousness really made him discover.
'The one behind Kyle, it seems to be .........'
