Chapter 70: The International Thief
Level 40? How is this possible? "The orc shadow thief who screamed in disbelief in the Yangtze River Delta had developed a good habit of rummaging through his opponent's wallet before stabbing someone for a long time, and then developed to the point of paranoia that he would rather be hacked to death than kill someone before turning over his opponent's wallet. I dare say that he is definitely the most diligent theft skill cultivator I have ever seen, and even so, his theft skill has only just reached level twenty-five.
"For you, of course, it's impossible. But I warned you, don't compare me to an amateur thief like you......" Red Wolf sneered with a sneering face.
According to the Dark Elves themselves, the reason why he was able to master the art of theft at a speed far beyond ordinary people was entirely because he happened to create a special skill himself. As early as when he was just learning the technique of theft, he accidentally discovered that he could "empty hands" and perform this difficult item transfer technique with both hands at the same time. This way, he will receive two loot for each successful theft, and he will gain twice as much skill experience as a result.
However, even so, the level forty theft skill is really too shocking. You must know that whenever a skill is upgraded to a level, the soul power required to upgrade to another level is often at least one-third higher than that of the previous level, and the higher the level, the more soul power is required, and the soul power required for level 40 skills is several times that of level 20, which is by no means a "double experience" that can be simply superimposed.
Sensing that we were staring at him with distrust, the red wolf seemed to feel slighted. He straightened his chest. Some of them shouted angrily: "What? Not convinced? It doesn't seem to open your eyes, and you don't know that Lord Ma has three hands! ”
"It's three eyes, right......" Hearing the red wolf's boastful words, the Yangtze River Delta couldn't help frowning and questioned.
"Hmph, three eyes have a fart, or three hands are more affordable." The red wolf pursed his lips contemptuously and said disapprerovingly.
Soon, we were "lucky" to witness the amazing performance of the level 40 theft skill:
At first, we just stared intently at the red wolf's hands. I want to see when he will be able to perform this amazing one-of-a-kind extinction. Inadvertently, I turned my head and glanced at the dwarven priest warehouse with a crazy look, and for some reason, I suddenly felt a wave of strangeness. How do you look at it, how do you feel awkward.
Finally, I figured out the problem: "Hey, why is your hat missing?" Originally, the dwarf aunt had always worn a "monk's hat" on her head, which could make her short and down-to-earth figure a little erect. But I don't know when this hat actually disappeared, making her more and more bloated and clumsy, no wonder she felt something was wrong when she saw her.
I'm not alone in discovering the weird. As soon as I finished speaking, the dwarf aunt suddenly asked in surprise, "Yangtze River Delta, where are your gloves?" Why is there only one arm guard left? ”
"Jeff. Why is your shield missing? "Finally. The Yangtze River Delta looked at me with the same bewilderment. "Didn't you still hold it in your hand just now?"
The swordsman Buddha looked at us with an embarrassed expression, then turned his face to look at the red wolf again.
"This ......," the Dark Elf Assassin embarrassedly touched his long ear. Turning around, he took out some items from his backpack that looked familiar to us, "...... Suddenly, I realized that I suddenly had something more here......"
"Ah, my gloves ......," the Yangtze River Delta exclaimed in surprise, "...... And these poisons, when did you steal them? ”
"My hat is with you...... too," Warehouse said frantically, pointing to one of the dimly colored novice hats.
Naturally, my shield was among them. Not only that, but I just discovered that the pile of sulfur powder and shale in it matched the amount of land I had lost in my backpack.
Facing the Yangtze River Delta's question, the dark elf became more and more embarrassed, he spread his hands and said to us apologetically, "Actually...... I just found out they came to me......"
Unfortunately, for this answer in the Yangtze River Delta, we only thought that it came from his professional sense of humor, and did not find the deep meaning behind it at all......
As a live show of top-notch theft skills, such a result is indeed successful enough. You know, no matter how skillful the skills of the orc shadow thief are, his arms and fingers will still leave corresponding movements when he steals, and the international thief in front of us, I didn't even notice any abnormal movements in his hands, he was already in his way, and I couldn't guess when he made a move. We are truly amazed by this technique of drifting without a trace, which has almost moved away from the realm of theft and into a kind of performance art.
But what really shows us the prowess of this skill is when the Red Wolf tries to give it back to us:
"This shield is mine, and these shale ......" I watched as he handed it back to me as I flipped through my package...... Three bottles of great life elixir, a pair of falcon's leather pants, two bundles of white sprouts, three pieces of buttermilk milk).; It kept coming from the red wolf's hand, as if it would never be finished.
"Damn, where's my helmet? There are also two lizard skins, cooked sheepskins, pickled beef shanks...... Yes...... Why is my shale gone......"
"That ......" the red wolf said with some hesitation as he stood aside, looking at me frantically, "...... I find that I seem to have two more brimstone here, isn't it yours? ”
I finally discovered a serious problem: while the stolen items were being returned to me, the red wolf was still picking from me. And judging by his amazing theft skills, I'm afraid that he pickpocketed faster than he could hand it back to me. If I let things go on like this, I'm afraid that before I can get back all my things, I will be helpless and turned into a bare pig by him.
"Enough, give me my assistant!" I yelled in frustration. As soon as the words fell, my boots disappeared into thin air.
"I don't want to do that either......" Red Wolf shrugged innocently. I saw both of his hands exposed, but I noticed that twenty silver coins were missing from my purse.
I immediately grabbed my pants in my left hand and my chest with my right hand, and my sword in my armpits, and I took five steps back as if fleeing......
"Tell you to stop your theft skills, I've seen enough!" I threatened with ferocity - if he hadn't stolen my belt, I could have been more confident.
"I really didn't mean to, I can't stop it......" The red wolf squinted at me aggrievedly and said, "...... It's a passive ability......"
……
I've always thought before. The highest level of theft is the ability to steal without anyone noticing.
And the appearance of the red wolf completely subverted this superficial understanding.
It's just that the gods and ghosts don't know, after all, they still have to come from the heart, no matter how exquisite and skillful. There are always traces to follow. And the realm of the red wolf is even more transcendent and lofty, and there is no one before it.
He didn't even know it when he pickpocketed, and the sound of the sound and the elephant were invisible.
In other words, this thief-eyed dark elf is simply a kleptocratic who can't control his hands.
Since it's a passive skill. So for the red wolf, "theft" is no longer just an act, but a state. This state is like a magician's magic shield or a druid's transformation, and you don't need to deliberately activate it again and again. If you use it once, you can stay in this state for a long time.
In the "empty-handed" state, the Red Wolf will steal the belongings of everyone around him indiscriminately. But at the same time, it will lose all combat capabilities. Until the spell cools down after three minutes.
Fortunately, it's the same as a normal theft skill. The effect of this ability is more pronounced for ordinary natives, while air waders are naturally resistant. So most of the time it will only be stolen from some worthless broken copper and iron. Otherwise, the Red Wolf would have surpassed the Doomsday King Darendier and become the most feared existence in the Falvi Continent.
Now we know how he perfected his staggering skill at theft - he simply threw himself into a pile of people with his skill on, and was content to be slapped into a patty after a full bowl of pans all the way - and enjoyed it again and again.
Well, let's completely forget about the "realm of theft" and take a proper look at this rogue from an enemy country. In fact, strictly speaking, he is not exactly a kleptomania......
He's simply a kleptoptocratic person with severe masochistic tendencies!
……
"Give us back!" The three victims of this blatant theft shouted with red eyes and raised their arms - the only reason we didn't rush up and cut him into seventeen or eighteen pieces again was because we didn't want to have the knife stolen by this black-skinned pickpocket at the moment before we could pull out the knife and kill him.
"Wait until my skills cool down!" The red wolf's face was full of grievances.
"Don't get close to ......, all of you," finally the Buddha who was standing aside said with a smile. He was obviously used to this kind of thing, and he hadn't been near the Red Wolf since the beginning, and now, he waved his hand frantically at the Yangtze River Delta and the warehouse, preventing them from making further moves.
He didn't need to say much about it, even if he put the steel knife on my neck now, he wouldn't want me to get one step closer to this seemingly harmless dark elf!
"Now, Red Wolf, put everything that doesn't belong to you on the ground." Seeing that we were all standing in a place where the theft skill could not be affected, Buddha smiled and then said to the red wolf.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that in just a few moments, so many of our things had been transferred to the Red Wolf.
When the dark elves had put down all their loot and stepped aside, the three of us gathered around in fear, packing our belongings into our pockets, and mentally classifying the red wolf as one of the "extremely dangerous people".
I now understand why there are so many wanderers, assassins, and shadow thieves in this world, but only the red wolf has mastered the "empty-handed" skill of theft. We have to believe, in some particular areas. It is true that there are some "geniuses" that are far beyond our common sense.
I've seen the Red Wolf's extraordinary abilities, I really am
Like, when his level 40 theft skill was fully deployed, he would have been shocked - maybe even if he stole the high priest's underwear, he wouldn't have been discovered.
It suddenly occurred to me that his staggering and crazy theft plan might actually succeed.
"Why didn't you join the union?" The warehouse also stood frantically five steps away from the red wolf, and asked suspiciously, "A high-level theft skill like yours should be of great help when you go down to the dungeon." ”
Listening to the dwarf aunt's question, the red wolf asked rhetorically, "Do you think any guild leader who has a little sense and hasn't gone completely crazy?" Would you be willing to accept a guy who has less lethality than a priest, is less defensive than a mage, has more health than a bard, dies faster than a warrior, can't fight monsters, can't add health, has no support skills, and rarely deals damage, only cares about stealing money during battle, disarms teammates, is in danger of being the first to slip away, always attracts a lot of monsters for no reason, and then hides incognito and watches the group die? ”
Shake your head in unison......
"It's a pity that the guild leaders of the Empire are on the same page as you......" the Dark Elf nodded with a smoky face, "...... So, every time I change guilds. I was saddened to realize that there was one less guild that I didn't know what I was and might have taken me in. ”
This dark-skinned creature may have countless flaws, but he possesses at least one noble virtue that is a model for the vast majority of intelligent beings in the world. It makes people look up to him:
He's really, really self-aware!
“…… Finally, one day, I found out that I had tried all the guilds of the Empire in the last days, and in the end, I was ruthlessly kicked out. If you want to join a guild again. I'm afraid I'll have to try my luck on the Alliance's side......" Red Wolf said with a dejected bow, "...... Maybe I'll run into a brain-splitting president who will leave me behind. ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. The dark elf's words immediately stimulated the great enthusiasm of the two traffickers around him:
"If that's the case. You might as well try your luck in our guild! I immediately said. I just wanted to pat him on the shoulder affectionately. But when he thought of his elusive theft skills, his hand just hung in the air. And he took it back immediately.
"You mean to say that your president happens to be mentally ill?" The red wolf asked in confusion, "It can't be that coincidental, right?" ”
Although it may be difficult to find a second sane guy in the guild we are about to establish, and it is very likely that the future president will be a sane person, it is difficult for me to make a conclusion on this issue at this time.
"Actually, we're starting a new guild, but we're in a bit of trouble......," I smiled awkwardly, telling the two traveling companions about the predicament we're facing.
“…… If we don't get twenty signatures, we won't be able to build a guild, and we're having a headache about it. "Although I am mainly telling the dark elves about what happened to us, I said as I looked at the swordsman next to him with expectant eyes - getting a dark elf to join the guild of the Continental Alliance is really not very likely to succeed, but if we can successfully encourage this human swordsman to join, it will be a great gain for us.
Surprisingly, the dark elf Red Wolf was so interested in this matter:
"Are you saying that you don't have to submit any applications, you just need to sign your name on the notice board to join the guild?" The Dark Elf asked carefully, "You know, the rival faction doesn't have the option to submit an application. ”
The Yangtze River Delta carefully checked the procedures that needed to be fulfilled to establish a guild, and then gave him an affirmative answer.
"Then I'd like to try it...... Red Wolf said excitedly, "...... Maybe you can find a system vulnerability. ”
System vulnerabilities? What is that? Oh, anyway, I guess it's impossible for me to understand.
"That's great, whether you join the guild or not, we'll do our best to help you steal the High Priest's equipment." The Yangtze River Delta swears to guarantee. In the eyes of the Yangtze River Delta, compared with the iron-like and strict recruitment indicators of Miss Fei Yin, the best equipment of the High Priest Ifrina was completely worthless, and he was betrayed by him without hesitation.
Now that the Dark Elves are willing to try to join the guild, his fellow human swordsmen will not stay out of the way. Under our coercion and inducement -- yes, it should be said that under our persuasion with emotion and reason -- Fo Xiao also agreed to join our new guild, and our guild members finally made a major breakthrough.
At this time, we had already walked near the holy city of Freschit, and in front of us, the city gate was open, and there were not many pedestrians entering and leaving, and the faces of the city gate guards were faintly visible.
