Chapter 426: After Kavin

Thieves' union. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was a name that had been forgotten by ordinary people, and even many mages had forgotten the fear of being dominated by mysterious thieves who came and went without a trace.

Only those archmages who have lived long enough still remember the profession that was once feared by mages.

Speaking of thieves, what kind of profession should it be?

Ahem, speaking of thieves, I'm afraid most people think of those who walk in the dark night with a hurried look and steal things, just like a mouse in the sewer, how cute it is, isn't it?

But in this world, in fact, thieves are an ancient profession, and this business was originally created by an emperor to assassinate, assassinate those who are in high positions and powerful but have wilted hearts.

Ambition is perhaps the most important thing in human progress, well, in order to prevent further digression, this topic will stop here.

At the beginning, the thieves who were planned, organized, disciplined and had a background were directly serving the emperor. No one but the Emperor could command this slayer hidden in the shadows, and once such a shadow force was mastered, the throne would be secure.

In the beginning, the thieves were not very strong, but after a few hundred years, the army that directly served the emperor suddenly became stronger.

However, people will change, because people's life is too short, not everyone's stupid gratitude, some people are ambitious, or they are unwilling to succumb to others, and many protagonists have this mentality.

Later, the leader of an unprecedentedly powerful group of thieves betrayed the emperor at that time and formed a personal organization of thieves, the Thieves' Guild. But those who have something to do with the royal family are absolutely indispensable, and then it is obvious which emperor did not eradicate the roots of the nascent thief union.

Time always flies. A word from a storyteller, time can be leisurely for a hundred years.

After about two thousand years, the thieves' union has been up and down, there has been a time of prosperity and decadence, and after several people have changed people to write the development and construction of the leader who is definitely the protagonist, the thieves' union has begun to become a nightmare for all mages.

In the beginning, the folk customs were simple, and although it was impossible for the mages not to take any precautions, for those high-level thieves who were also level seven, taking the head of a level eight or ninth level mage was like digging for something. Low-level mages, on the other hand, have their counterparts to harvest their lives.

Of course, the thieves' union also has to eat, and there are probably not many people who believe that there are nine or something behind the shadow forces that can be big and have nothing to do with the royal families.

In fact, the thieves' union and many forces on the mainland have their own deals, and they help kill people for free every year, and they don't need to pay too much to get a certain amount of return, and in fact, they don't need much in return, as long as they turn a blind eye to the thieves appropriately.

Besides, those transactions with the major forces can be regarded as the person of the year at the beginning, and the big bosses of those thieves can pass the time in various ways.

Skipping the level heads-up is the stupidest, for thieves, assassinating those who are higher than their own level is completely a manifestation of brain water, and most of the thieves take on the task of assassinating those who are lower than themselves. Except for a few protagonists who are full of fan, most people don't want to become stronger in the grind of life and death.

It is enough to be able to live a carefree life, and if you can eat and clothe yourself every day, then I am afraid that there will be many fewer people who want war.

But there will always be dissatisfaction in people's hearts, and there will be a lot of them, so war is impossible to avoid.

At that time, the thieves' union was in a state of prosperity, and the resident high-level thieves even had several legends.

For thieves who hide in the shadows, it would be foolish to actually trade their lives for the future. I'm afraid that unlike what most people think, thieves are generally greedy for life and afraid of death, and almost all those who are not afraid of death go to become mercenaries.

Of course, mercenaries have a low starting point, and usually only fools go back to do it. People who become thieves are people with extraordinary talents, and some people may not understand this, isn't it murder?

In fact, thieves are different from dead soldiers, and although the whole body of the thieves' guild is a royal trained dog, it has become a gathering of people with lofty ideals over time.

For these thieves, this kind of profession that lives on the tip of a knife but is very safe. And to be able to become a member of the thieves' union, the last thing you are afraid of is the disclosure of your identity.

As long as you don't stupidly advertise it all over the street or get drunk and mumble out, no one will know your true identity, after all, people who can become thieves are not stupid, and those who can become thieves are smart people.

Aren't those mercenaries who like to work thankless?

Thieves, to put it bluntly, are killers, and what is the most taboo thing about killers? It's not that they can't kill their targets, but the disclosure of their identities.

However, when it comes to digging, I really want to ask a sentence here - which excavator technology is stronger?

Ahem, not counting the above, a large organization that has been inherited for thousands of years often has more experience and has extremely strict rules. For thieves, the most taboo is betrayal, and the betrayer will not end well. Just like a hundred years ago, a high-ranking person who betrayed the thieves' guild even hid in the palace of a relatively powerful principality and became the king's secretary, but in the end it didn't end up in a hurry, along with the royal family who shielded the thief.

If you betray, you will be killed wherever you flee.

This is the only rule of the thieves' union, in fact, the golden basin washing is nothing new for these killers, as long as the hands are clean enough and not too greedy, then what is the need to wash the hands of the golden basin.

Anyway, there is no possibility that anyone will betray, and the fate of the betrayer will be obvious to all those who have been in the Thieves' Guild for a period of time, and the betrayer who has been howling miserably since a thousand years ago but has not yet died is the end.

It is said that it was a ninth-level thief, but because he betrayed a young thief who had just started, he was jointly arrested by several legendary-level thieves, and in the end, there was even a legend who put a curse on him at a great price, making it half-dead but impossible to die.

Every once in a while, the one would be pulled out and the new thief would have a piece of flesh cut off from his body, and he would not be able to die anywhere anyway, and even if he was dismembered, he would be able to return to his original state the next night, and his soul would be absolutely awake, but he could not even commit suicide.

This is the fate of the betrayer, but it is also a compulsory lesson that every thief must go through. The fate of the betrayer is worse than death.
