Chapter 35: Crawling Out of the Mud

The Golden Trout Tavern, also nicknamed the "Arowana Tavern" by players because of its mixed customers, is a famous pickpocket's paradise in the lower town of Charcha. Here, players can drink the purest Aruma Pinot Noir, eat delicious smoked trout cheese black bread, and see more flowers than the game - of course, this qiē premise is that you can throw a few tinkling silver coins, but be careful, while the tavernkeeper is very attentive to you, you are also listed as a top target, and it is not for nothing that this place is called a pickpocket's paradise, as the base of the Charcha Pickpockets' Federation, Everyone you meet in the tavern is likely to be a master thief who is proficient in pickpocketing, and sometimes a person can sneak through your necklace without even noticing.

But that's not all.

These amazing creatures are usually handsome and personable, and because of their work, they have a very precise grasp of women's psychology, and seducing those beautiful women is almost a matter of hooking their fingers. The people of the lower city of Charcha often joke that in the Golden Trout Tavern, if you are not careful, it is a trivial matter to be taken away from the money bag, and if you lose your daughter-in-law, it will be a big loss. It is said that a long time ago, there was a little nobleman who took his wife to Charcha to play, this very adventurous little nobleman heard about the magic of the golden trout, insisted on going to taste one or two, but took advantage of the excitement and returned home, not only lost a body of gold and silver jewelry, but even his wife inadvertently disappeared, until two days later in rags, but red face appeared at the door of the hotel where they stayed.

Therefore, it is very dangerous to take a woman to the golden trout, and the tavern owner boasts of it, unless it is a little female dragon with a human head, even if the queen of Rodland is the queen, he is still deeply trapped in it.

Thinking of this, Green twitched the corners of his mouth, he remembered that the beautiful princess who was born in the Yanifet family and married to the nephew of Rion II, was tough and had a good mind, and almost supported the entire kingdom of Rhodesland after the death of Rion II, but it was rumored that she was not compatible with the king's married life, and I heard that she also often visited the port of Charcha, could it be that she had some ulterior relationship with this tavern?

"Hey, hey, hey......"

The teenager couldn't help but grin, although it was brainless. Lewd, but just thinking about it makes it extra exciting.

He nodded happily at the little guy at the door of the tavern, anyway, now that his pocket was empty, and there was no female companion to follow, Green was very single, but it made a few young people who were messing around against the wall baffled.

By the way, the little nobleman who was the Minotaur was named Maxim, a Rodranian who was not famous in the first half of his life, abandoned his wife and went out on an expedition in the second half of his life, and finally drew the first detailed map of the continent recognized by the kingdom in history......

The Golden Trout Tavern has a small face, but the inside is no less than those large entertainment venues with deep backgrounds. Green walked slowly towards the bar as he watched by candlelight. The rich aroma of red wine mixed with the smell of almonds, the smoke behind the narrow smoking gun, and the old-fashioned fishing rods hanging on the walls, the dried trout nailed as ornaments, and the tavern maids walking around with their hips twisted in scantily clad clothes, most of the things are exactly the same as they remember, even the strangely dressed diners who stand or sit and stare at everyone who walks in from outside the tavern, which is the representative of the forces in the gray corners of Chalcha, not only the bizarre reward quests, but also many faction quests and even prestige quests, can be received in their hands. This strange similarity made Green feel the urge to return to the game in a trance.

Smack-

Momentarily distracted, Green didn't notice the person behind him, and suddenly felt a man hit him from behind, and he turned around just in time to see a scrawny young man staggering past him.

The man who bumped into Green was a scrawny young man, probably about his age. The young man probably didn't expect to run into someone—or rather, to him, Green was just a young man of his own age, but it felt like he had hit a ball of cotton, and the deep powerlessness of his power was so strong that he almost fell to the front.

The young man rushed forward several steps before he steadied his steps, and he was obviously startled as he held on to the pillar next to him, but immediately raised his head and looked at Green with some surprise.

But the surprise quickly turned to anger.

"Ahem...... Hey, don't you look at the road in the aisle! ”

Green came to his senses and looked at the other party with a strange expression, the other party was wearing a common costume in the lower city, this kind of coarse linen zuò clothes had no other advantages, the only advantage was that it was durable and cheap.

“…… You've actually landed a few copper coins, and it seems that Longano's good fortune has not favored you, so you might as well go home and wash and sleep as soon as possible. After a pause, Green sighed and said.

The young man's face changed drastically, and his voice immediately stopped. The lights in the tavern were dim, and Green couldn't read his expression clearly, and he guessed that the other party must be panicked and at a loss.

It's a newbie.

Green flattened his mouth, these rookie pickpockets he had seen a lot in following miracles, sitting in the tavern and chatting with friends in the middle of the game, and he could recognize seven or eight from the crowd in an afternoon's work, most of them were thrown out to steal after a little training, and it was called a practical drill. If you are a seasoned pickpocket, you will either throw back the money bag generously and say "have fun" with a smile, or you will look at you inexplicably, as if you have wronged him, and walk away cleanly, either way, he will react naturally, after all, in this realm, it is no exaggeration to say that stealing can almost be counted as a legal act.

"Okay, okay, don't be stunned, this is Xiacheng, no one can do anything to you."

The young man who was caught red-handed was panicking himself, and the voice of a middle-aged man was heard next to him. Green followed the prestige and saw a short-haired man with a greasy apron, who he recognized as the owner of the Golden Trout Tavern, "The Fisherman" Shagenman, and shrugged his shoulders as if acquiescing.

"Then I'......" the young man pointed behind him, meaning to ask the tavernkeeper if his mentor would be angry if he left like this.

Shagenman rolled his eyes, but it was similar to Green's habitual movements, "Just learn your lesson, get out of here." He mouthed at Greenunu again. As if pardoned, the young man took out his unbulging bag from under his clothes, which was Green's purse, and fled away from the tavern.

"Thank you for your help." Green put away his purse, not bothering to check if a few copper plates were missing.

"Oh?" Shagenman turned to leave, but when he heard Green's words, he turned back again, and his eyes lit up with surprise, "Have I helped you?" ”

Green smiled, what he said just now sounded like Shagenman was helping the young thief out of the siege, favoring him in every word, but in fact it saved Green a trouble. The young man was indeed shocked by Green's experience, but the more he did that, the worse it was, if he didn't react for a long time, the hidden thieves would think that Green had done something, and these powerful guys didn't care what the facts were, if they waited for them to surround them, a fight would be inevitable.

He's not here to fight.

In the game of his previous life, Green had seen countless kinds of tasks, most of which were seen on the forum, and in the later period, his focus was all on Disburingka, and many tasks were not remembered, but when the novice period reached an awakening, he was still in the stage of complacency, and he had detailed readings of tasks in various places, and some of the more interesting tasks were firmly in his mind.

And in the Golden Trout Tavern, there is exactly that one.

This quest is called [Crawl Out of the Mud] in Follow the Miracle, and it is a power quest that can choose the direction. Green has seen the strategy of the player who completed the mission, it is said that the player just wanted to join the pickpocket federation at first, part-time as a thief, but he did not expect that the recruiter of the federation in the tavern deliberately betrayed the self-reliance portal, the player said that he wanted to join the federation, and the other party took him to the field and asked him if he wanted to join his own faction. The player thought that the other party was testing his loyalty, so he refused without hesitation, but he did not expect that the other party immediately recruited a companion who had ambushed him, and he was about to kill the player, and the result was self-evident, the opponent's companion was killed by the player, and he was the only one left, so he exchanged gold and silver treasures for a chance to live. It stands to reason that these guys who live in the gray area are full of lies, and few people believe them, but the player is new to the game, where do they know this, so the player agrees to the other party's request, and presses him to find the other party's stronghold in the sewers.

The rest was much simpler, as the player followed the recruiter to the stronghold in high spirits, only to be besieged by a large number of enemies and hung up at the stronghold. After being resurrected, the player angrily teamed up and returned, forcibly wiped out the opponent's stronghold, found a large amount of money and equipment in the stronghold, and revealed the matter to the Pickpocketmen's Federation, where he received a large reward. They originally intended to use this as a cash point, but later found out that this was a hidden copy that was limited to one clearance per person, so they put the guide on the forum, and Green was lucky enough to read and remember it. According to the strategy, the highest-level boss in the opponent's stronghold is just a level 30 elite thief, barely a second-order establishment, and he should be able to win it with Green's strength, so he moved his mind and ran to the Golden Trout Tavern.

The recruiter of the Pickpockets Federation is a long-term job, and Green believes that if the other party has the intention of betraying or even has a large number of strongholds, it must not have been planned for a day or two, compared to the time introduced in the game, it is now about a year earlier, and the time is not short or long, and the boy decided to try his luck.

It's just that I didn't expect to be targeted by pickpockets as soon as I entered the tavern.

However, Green was not discouraged, blessings and misfortunes lurked, and although the novice thief caused him a little trouble, Green's first priority was to find the recruiter, and the tavernkeeper was undoubtedly the best choice to ask.

"Of course, Boss Shagenman, I sincerely pray for good luck with Long Arno."

There is no such thing as a god of thieves and a god of pickpockets, but Ronano is the god of dexterity, luck and fortune, but he is recognized by pickpockets as the "most important umbrella", and Green says that he wants to be a pickpocket.

The tavern owner Shagenman wiped his hands on his apron and stared at Green up and down, but he didn't have any objections, "With your knowledge, you can have a good future, work hard, and I'll invite you to drink when you get back." He had a slight affection for the clever and knowledgeable young man, and he didn't mind introducing him to a recruiter from the Federation, so he gestured to a man with a pointed chin in the corner of the tavern.

"Thank you very much." Green gestured to Shaganman's jaw, then pulled out a few copper coins from the bag and placed them on the table next to him, "It's like buying the cheapest McBar." ”

Shaganman didn't dislike the lack of money, and happily put away the copper coins and watched Green walk towards the sharp-chin man.

Soon, Green found the pointed chin that had been drinking a glass of beer and showed him his intentions, and the other party quickly said that he would be inspected by his superiors and asked Green to follow him to the federation headquarters. Leaving the tavern, the two of them walked around downtown downtown, the population became more and more sparse, it looked like the secret style of the pickpocket association, but Green knew this, the federation was not here at all, but in the most generous ** upper floor of Smoke Willow Lane in Midtown, he led the way like this, and there was only one reason: Green found the right person!

Sure enough, after a few circles around his pointed chin, he took Green out of town. The two of them walked on the path on the outskirts of Charcha, and for about ten minutes or so, the trees on both sides became more and more lush, and then the pointed chin stopped.

Green noticed that his right hand was stealthily reaching for something, as if grasping something, and he turned back at that moment, raising his eyelids and looking at the boy steadily.

"You...... Would you like to join our Dragon Triad? ”
