Chapter Forty-Eight: The Core Skills of Thieves
"I knew that the human kingdom was so dangerous, I should have chosen a night elf at the beginning, then maybe now I was ......hugging a group of elf beauties in the beautiful forest of Ash Valley," Song Zheng sighed secretly while changing his outfit.
Eventually, he discarded all of the knight lieutenants' costumes, still wearing a gray-black leather armor, and at the same time getting some leaves to stick on his body as a temporary disguise.
As for the weapons, the only ones that remained were the two daggers and the miniature crossbow, as well as the dwarven musket, which was quite handy.
When all this was dealt with, Song Zheng was ready to take the opportunity to escape from here, but when he thought of Karen's guy, he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart.
He didn't know how many of these people were followers of the Cursed Church, and after all that had happened, it seemed to him that the followers of the Cursed Church were almost omnipresent.
However, Karen's guy shouldn't be a believer in the Cursed Church, otherwise that guy would have had a lot of opportunities to kill himself a long time ago.
That guy is just too stupid to even know that he was completely taken advantage of this time!
"Do you want to try to inform that guy Karen......" Song Zheng was quite hesitant about this, that guy had entertained himself with good wine and meat when he was in Talenmir, and even brought a few beautiful cousins from the family to dinner.
Just as he was hesitating, Song Zheng heard someone shouting his name, but it was Orlando who heard the voice.
"Oops, it looks like it's got that guy's suspicions!" Song Zheng's heart sank, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and immediately fled towards the depths of the dense forest.
After many escapes, he is familiar with escaping in the mountains and forests.
"If only I could learn to stealth, God willing...... No, it's the Holy Light, and the skill I get after this upgrade must be 'stealth'. Song Zheng walked briskly in the darkness while praying secretly.
After all he had been through, he was convinced more than anyone else that the core skill of the thief profession was 'stealth'!
There were constant shouts from behind, and soon there was some commotion, and then a large fire broke out, and even explosions were heard, sounding like someone had unleashed a fireball spell.
But more often than not, there were screams one after another...... Those noble children could not do anything else, but the screams were far more than the others.
"Started so soon?" A chill ran in Song Zheng's heart, and it seemed that those who cursed the church did not hesitate at all because of the identity of those noble children.
"The people of the Church of the Damned don't seem to be worried about revealing their identities anymore? Maybe these guys want to take advantage of the situation to make a big vote......" Song Zheng thought secretly in his heart.
Although there are no important people like Gianna in the team this time, there are a large number of noble children, if all these guys are killed or captured, it will definitely throw the entire Talon Mir into chaos, and even shock the entire kingdom of Lordaeron.
And if you calculate the time, I'm afraid that the plan for the plague outbreak of the Scourge of the Dead is about to begin.
If the Church of the Damned takes advantage of the chaos in Talenmir and takes advantage of the chaos to unleash a plague here...... Then Song Zheng didn't dare to imagine what this land would eventually become.
"I can only hope that Karen is lucky enough this time." With Song Zheng's current ability, he is naturally not arrogant enough to return to save Karen, and it is a little too late for him to escape for his life at this moment.
When he heard the sound of chasing footsteps from behind, Song Zheng took the risk of using the 'sprint' ability despite being in the dark night.
With the wonderful power under his feet, Song Zheng only felt that his legs could hardly stop, and in order not to crash into the tree, he had to try his best to control the direction of his running.
Luckily, his night vision is very good, otherwise he would probably have crashed into a bag before he had even run a few steps.
Maybe it's because I've been living too well lately, and my physical strength has improved a lot compared to before, and this 'sprint' lasted longer than before, and even after I stopped, I didn't collapse to the ground as I did at the beginning.
"Looks like I'm going to have to exercise well in the future." Song Zheng gasped for breath.
His thief class does not have the same energy limit as in the game, but it is limited by his own physical strength, and it is estimated that even if he obtains other combat skills in the future, he will probably need to consume his own physical strength to use it...... Song Zheng couldn't imagine the scene where he fell directly to the ground and couldn't get up after a 'killing machine from the sky'.
After resting for a while, Song Zheng fled into the dense forest again in a panic.
When he stopped again, he found that he had come to the bottom of the Alterac Mountains, and when he looked up, he could see the majestic snow-capped mountains under the moonlight!
"It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place...... Didn't those people who cursed the church want to join forces with the syndicate thieves to hunt me down, then I'll just go the opposite way and go straight to the snowy mountains. Song Zheng quickly made a decision, after all, if he fled back to Talenmir now, he would probably face the plague launched by the Cursed Church directly, so it was better to hide in the snow-capped mountains with fresh air.
……
In the mountains of Dalong, the battle has long been over.
The nearly 2,000 knights led by the nobles were almost wiped out, and the smell of blood filled the forest.
The young nobles who were originally sitting around the campfire to barbecue meat and drink wine were now all trapped in a string of ropes, and they all kowtowed there and begged for mercy, and even the smell of feces and urine came from many people's bodies.
Karen was also tied, and was looking at the group of men in black in front of her in disbelief at the moment.
Orlando, who had been ridiculed by everyone before, stood proudly to the side, a small fireball floating above his palm.
"Orlando, what are you doing here, don't you know I'm the mayor's son? My father was a marquis of the kingdom! The mayor's son shouted.
"Marquis? He will soon be gone, and the whole of Talummere will be ours. Orlando laughed excitedly.
"No, all of this belongs to the great master, the whole of Lordaeron will belong to the master, Orlando, you did a good job this time, with these guys, it will be much easier to destroy Tarun Mill, it's not in vain that I spent a lot of energy to improve your magic ability, but ...... Now give me the thief. It was Gu Xin who spoke, his whole body shrouded in black robes, but his eyes still revealed an eager light.
"Thieves? Teacher, do you mean the guy who claims to be Gianna's entourage, he seems to have gone to the side just now, and I don't know if anyone else caught him. Orlando hurriedly complimented.
"The thief isn't here?!"
