Chapter 24 Well, maybe a few chapters are missing in between
At the gate of Rift Valley City, Zhang Lin, who was alone, was stopped by the arrogant city gate guards.
Anyway, shouldn't Zhang Lin go to the Winter Castle in the north to learn magic, why did he run to the southeast border of the sky now?
Zhang Lin and little Lori were temporarily separated from Kexia when they left Xueman and set off for Wintercastle, and Kexia took his new follower to the peak of Hosgar to find Graybeard to learn the dragon's roar, and if there was something to contact, it was enough to find the best messenger in the sky to send a letter. (Skyrim's messengers can always find you as long as you appear in town, and I have to say that the unknown organization behind these messengers is definitely the fastest and most efficient in Skyrim.) )
However, Zhang Lin did not stay in Winter Castle for long.
As for the reason, it has to be blamed on the system, Zhang Lin, who originally planned to learn more illusions in Wintercastle, found that although he didn't need any illusion department's specialization level, he actually spent several days learning from the illusion department instructor who had a very low sense of presence in the academy, and the result was that he only activated an invisibility technique and a light voice technique that was originally used to eliminate the sound of footsteps when moving, but in his hands, it became a light body technique with more movement speed. In addition, you can't learn any of the illusions that confuse the enemy, calm the enemy, and fear the enemy.
Obviously, this is all because of the incomplete Flying Man class that Zhang Lin activated at the beginning, and the two skills activated are similar to the Flying Hero skill tree.
In desperation, since the magic academy didn't have much effect on the improvement of his strength, there was no need to waste time there.
Originally, when Xiao Lori saw that Zhang Lin was leaving, she refused to live or die, saying that she was afraid that the master would secretly disappear and throw her away.
You know,Just entered the Winterhold Academy,Little Lori, who can learn the spells of the destruction department, was shocked as a genius by the instructor of the academy.,As a result, none of the spells of this little guy are powerful enough.,Found that the little Lori is a mage but loves violence and melee The destructive department mentor is unwilling.,Insist on reversing this.。
So in order to let little Lori continue to study in Winter Castle with peace of mind, Zhang Lin had to agree to a bunch of unequal treaties, and finally coaxed her.
However, the reality is often a little different from what is expected.
"Boom!"
A training dummy exploded into pieces in a cloud of flames, and the ground was littered with shards of ice and scorched black by lightning, and it looked like at least a dozen dummies had been scorched.
"Bad ass master, don't let Alice go to play with you, it's the most annoying!" The raging flames on the sledgehammer in Lori's hand gradually dissipated.
Falauda, the mentor of the Department of Destruction, leaned against the door and looked helplessly at this scene in the training room, two days ago, through the ceremony, the little Lori mastered the power of the elements, and the effect was that her spell damage finally went up, but one by one the spells that were originally released were all changed by her to be attached to the weapon similar to the ability to enchant, although to a certain extent, this is also one of the manifestations of genius, but Falauda still can't be happy, after all, the violent little Lori is still the violent little Lori......
Look back outside the Rift Valley.
For the follow-up path, Zhang Lin has two choices, one is the Thieves Guild, and the other is the Dark Brotherhood that specializes in assassination.
Because, although the invisibility technique activated by Zhang Lin can last for two minutes, with his current barren mana, he can only cast it once, and he doesn't want to encounter the embarrassing state of powerlessness when he wants to get out of stealth at a critical time, so if something in the Thieves Guild can be recognized and obtained by the system, it will make his invisibility and squatting a perfect combination.
"Boy, you can't enter the city yet, if you don't give money, get out! Pay if you want to go in! The guard's domineering words interrupted Zhang Lin's thoughts.
Perhaps because the second-largest port city in the sky, the most famous trading city, had long stopped freighting under the influence of the civil war, and the guards, whose salaries had been reduced by several percent, came up with the idea of blackmailing those who entered the city.
Obviously, they have succeeded more than once, and those who have been blackmailed have almost obediently paid the money, after all, they have no criminal records, and a few of them will run away to the city that has now become the most chaotic city in the skyrim, of course, choosing to settle the matter.
At first, Zhang Lin was ready to pay the money, but it turned out that the two guards regarded him as a fat sheep because Zhang Lin deliberately maintained a clean and tidy appearance even in this world, and insisted on proposing an entrance fee several times higher than usual.
"Forget it!" Zhang Lin was immediately disgusted by the behavior of the two guards, and decisively turned to leave.
One of the guards looked at Zhang Lin's departing back and spat loudly to the side: "Cut, I thought it was a fat sheep, but I didn't expect it to be a poor ghost, I lost my eyes!" ”
"It's rare to think that I can make a small profit, but there are far fewer people coming to Rift City recently than usual, and if I don't make any more money, I won't be able to afford to drink in the future."
The more the two guards talked, the more excited they became, and even discussed other ways to make money, such as fishing for law enforcement, collecting protection money from street vendors, etc., anyway, the superiors turned a blind eye to their behavior.
Zhang Lin, who had gone and returned, remained invisible and stood between the two guards, and a new idea suddenly popped up.
The two chatty guards didn't even notice that the money bag at their waist was gone, and perhaps only when they went to the tavern after their shifts.
At the end of the invisibility technique, Zhang Lin had already entered an inaccessible alley in the city, and for the sake of safety, he deliberately squatted in front of the appearance for a while, and after losing his sense of existence, no one noticed him, thinking of the need to attract the person in charge of the Thieves' Guild, he changed into a shabby outfit, and made some camouflage on his face, so as to avoid the trouble of being recognized by the bitter master.
Throwing away the two bags of money bags in his hand, Zhang Lin walked out of the alley, and handed over almost all the money to Xiao Lori, he finally got rich again, just like the thief in a martial arts novel, in terms of morality, Zhang Lin did not feel much guilt for stealing this kind of person's money and property.
Soon, his actions quickly caught the attention of a person.
"Hey, man, you look like you're short of money!" A man in a gray cloth robe approached.
Hey, I got hooked!
"You're blind, you didn't see these two big money bags!"
Blinkev was choked by Zhang Lin's words before continuing: "In my opinion, your money should come from the wrong way, right?" ”
"Yo, how did you see that those two bastards at the city gate dared to ask me for money, and lo and behold, this is a lesson for them!"
After being stunned for a while, he figured out who the two bastards in Zhang Lin's mouth were, Brinchov originally thought that Zhang Lin was just a rookie thief who had just entered the industry, but after listening to Zhang Lin's words, he felt that he was even more stunned.
"Brother, you really have the guts." This sentence is not a compliment, you must know that most thieves do not dare to provoke the guards no matter how arrogant they are, because it is the easiest to get on the wanted warrant, and the thieves who cannot enter the city have almost no source of income: "As for how to see it, it involves the skill of observation, the behavior of a person, the way he dresses, and the pace of walking, such as the way you walk, deliberately suppress the sound of footsteps." ”
"I can't be a killer?" Zhang Lin deliberately provoked again, and always felt that the so-called observation skills in this guy's mouth were just pretending.
Am I really blind? As a veteran thief, Blinkhov still has this eyesight, thinking that Zhang Lin is purely entertaining him, but he still continues to ask: "So, do you know about the Thieves' Guild?" ”
"Hey, is that the guild that specializes in stealing things?" There was a strong interest in the words.
Nima, can you speak!
However, seeing Zhang Lin's interest, Blinkhev still decided to hand over the test task to him, a young thief, if he succeeded, he could be regarded as bringing fresh blood to the union, and if he failed, he didn't lose anything.
"I have a very simple job here, as long as you succeed, you will have the opportunity to become a member of the guild and earn more money."
"No, with my skills, I can still do this kind of test for trash fish?" Zhang Lin looked like Lao Tzu was very awesome, so that Brinchov didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, Zhang Lin pointed to the sky behind Blinkhov and said, "Look! ! ”
Blinkhov subconsciously looked back, but only saw a blue sky and white clouds, and suddenly realized that he didn't know what a "" was, and turned his head to find that Zhang Lin's shadow had been lost.
After being stunned for a while, he felt that someone was patting on the shoulder, and Bryenchov turned around to find Zhang Lin holding a money bag and looking at him with a smile, and immediately felt that the money bag was very familiar.
"Meet me, my name is Zhang Lin."
You better go back, our thieves' guild can't afford to invite you as a god, Brinchev looked confused.
