Chapter 39: The Death of a Thief
Not caring about the vicious curse in his ear, Loki took the old goat by the smile and slowly walked out of the darkness, stopping at a distance of about twenty paces.
A clear vision of the green in front of me.
The low-light night vision adjusts autonomously, so that Loki will not let go of the other party's every move, and at the same time, the optic nerve image quickly analyzes the situation of the thief Justin.
Strength: 1.12, Dexterity: 1.81, Constitution: 0.9.
Target's body is seriously injured: two serious injuries - crossbow arrows in the abdomen, serious injuries to the forearm by the axe, three minor injuries, and blood loss at the same time, which affects mobility, and will be life-threatening if not treated.
Healing?Loki wished that the other party would die faster.
A person who plans to capture his own life alive, how can he have a little sympathy, and the other party is also a first-order thief professional, and his physical fitness is much beyond ordinary people, maybe there is some way to hide.
Moreover, even if the opponent's injured attribute is much stronger than him, if it weren't for underestimating his identity as a little finger and a half-elf, he was first knocked to the ground by a deadly roundhouse kick like a bug, and then he was attacked by a special crossbow made by a dwarf at close range after he couldn't react. After experiencing this, Rao is thief is much more agile than ordinary people, and it will also make him hate it.
Loki hadn't learned the general skills of the Eye of the Insider, which only professionals could access and learn.
However, he also has a guess about this thief who has no one in his name, according to Quaid's strength assessment of being a level 5 apprentice, Justin should only be a newly advanced level 6 thief profession, or this thief's physical attributes are not high, and he may focus on some skills or knowledge.
"Thief - Mr. Justin, answer me two questions, I may spare you, do you want to think about it?"
Loki put on the crossbow string and smiled at the motionless figure on the ground, who didn't make a sound, as if he had died quietly.
The half-elf boy muttered deliberately, "Could it be that he is already dead?"
"I'm going to go up and see who sent this guy. ”
With that, the silent wilderness sounded the sound of his footsteps, which grew louder and louder, as if someone was approaching.
It turned out that in the darkness, the half-elf boy walked on the spot and drew a few more crossbow arrows in his hand.
A low sound of crossbow strings sounded at 'Hum', followed by the sound of crossbow arrows piercing into flesh, followed by a feeble cry of pain.
In fact, under the faint vision, Loki had already seen the slight undulation and slow breathing of the thief on the ground, and even if he didn't notice anything wrong, he would remain cautious and stay away from danger, of course, he would not be deceived by the other party's pretending to be dead.
The bolt pierced the thief Justin's back again, but Loki didn't stop, he put on the crossbow string again, loaded a crossbow bolt and asked faintly, "Mr. Justin, can you answer my question?"
Justin scolded weakly, "Cheap bastard, half-elf cub, you dare to kill me?" ”
"If you answer incorrectly, there's one more chance, maybe you'll survive and get revenge on me. ”
With that, Loki threw out a tactical straight knife that he carried with him, a short blade with serrations on one side, which was not only suitable for cutting and fighting, but also for throwing knives.
The half-elf threw a throwing knife and stabbed the thief in the ass with precision.
After the thief Justin was seriously injured by several crossbow arrows, the lung was the most serious and fatal.
I saw blood foaming in his mouth, and he couldn't say anything even if he wanted to.
Loki didn't ask anything, he grinned a little unwillingly, and finally shot a crossbow arrow through the neck of the thief Justin.
After waiting for a few more moments, he carefully threw a few stones at the corpse on the ground, and saw that the thief was really dead, and then leaned forward to check it.
The thief's death was not pretty, covered in blood like a hedgehog.
However, Loki has no scruples, and so many years of miserable beggar life have given him the strength to endure it.
In order to save time, Loki first pulled out the crossbow arrows from the corpse, rubbed them on the mountain of the opponent's clothes to recycle them, and then began to put his hands up and down, checking the things that the other party was carrying, and some specific marks.
It was a young man with blond hair and a handsome appearance that Loki had been jealous of in his previous life.
However, jealousy of a dead man seemed to be nothing of a big deal, and he put a pair of small hands stained with slimy blood into the other party's clothes and small bags.
A bulging money bag, opened it casually and took a look, there were still a few gold coins of the Austro-German Empire, which was also very common in the fog castle of the Federation City. In the waist of the corpse, the bag turned out some unnamed various potions.
There were also several fine short-bladed daggers that he carried with him, and a small and delicate crossbow, the same one that had scratched the half-elf boy's shoulder before.
However, what caught Loki's attention were the two things hidden in Justin's arms, one was a membership badge exclusive to the Thieves' Guild, and the other was a booklet that recorded the text, starting with some skills and knowledge of basic tracking techniques, and densely recording Justin's unique personal feelings about tracking and identifying traces.
What is Loki's most urgent need at the moment? one is to increase his own strength to increase his self-protection ability, and the other is to escape the danger of being pursued in front of him. Although the basic tracking technique cannot quickly improve his strength, since it is the knowledge and skills of tracking and traces, it can at least reduce the danger of passing traces and exposure.
However, the current situation is still not optimistic, the thief Justin can chase here so quickly, Loki is sure that his horse mount is nearby, and he is not the only one who comes, that is, it is because Justin despises him too much that Loki has a chance to live.
Quickly looking around, there was a clear green image around him, and there were no other figures in the wilderness.
However, Loki must not be far away from the people chasing him, is it the Brotherhood of the Black Street, or the people from Uncle Quaid's side, or the city hall has issued a wanted warrant? No, those nobles who don't care about themselves won't be so quick to react, it should be the two parties who have a direct relationship with Quaid.
At present, the danger of going directly to the Fog Tower camp has increased in a straight line, if you run along this road again, you may not be able to reach the Kuber River and be blocked, but if you divert to escape in the direction of the Westland Forest, the risk of being caught up may be greater, and you can only use another way.
Loki hurriedly packed his personal equipment, and the delicate short crossbow he had just scavenged was tied to his arm, and an Indian tomahawk was placed on his back, and a sharp dog-leg knife hung from his waist, the leather of the scabbard was still hand-sewn by Daddy Brutehammer.
As for some short-bladed daggers and other weapons, they were all hidden on his body wherever he could go. The rest of the stolen food, water and seized items were directly wrapped into a large cloth bag by him and hung on the ram's buttocks.
It was midnight, and the night sky was cloudy and foggy, only a little starlight was shed, but it could not illuminate the dark wilderness environment.
The half-elf boy gradually appeared in the darkness, and he stopped and tied the old goat to a low tree not far from the slave caravan.
Loki straightened his weapon a little and walked towards the cage of the cat orc just now.
