35 Thieves' Guilds and Ciphers
At this time, Xuanyuan heard not far away.
Two adventurers, who were sitting next to the fountain and waiting for someone, were whispering:
"Haha, no one has come yet, you lost the bet, right?"
"I've paid it back, but I don't even understand the basics?"
"Dare to shout at the door of the guild, aren't you in a hurry to send money to people?"
"Sure enough, it didn't go far to be stolen, right?"
The other shook his head and took out a handful of silver coins and threw them to the other party.
"If you want me to say, this guy is also stupid, and he won't keep the guild mark after paying back the money."
"I can't hold it for a while, it's really unlucky."
Speaking of which, the two adventurers' waiting companions have arrived.
They got up and left the Adventurer's Guild with their companions.
As for the anxious bearded man and his companions, they were quickly led into the Adventurer's Guild by the guards.
Xuan Yuan was a little surprised, and then reacted.
The talents of this world are strange.
Even if you have talents like resurrection and thirty times the speed of sound, how can you not have a talent for stealing?
I'm afraid it's hard to track down stealing with your personal talent, right?
Thinking of this, Xuan Yuan couldn't help but look at his leather armor and the guild mark on the blue bow.
Suddenly understood.
Put a guild stamp on the equipment in the repayment.
It is also a disguised protection for adventurers who are weak or have no anti-theft measures.
Just as he was thinking, a burly figure wearing full body gold armor.
Strode in front of Xuanyuan.
"Yo! Xuanyuan. ”
"Arrived so early?"
"I deliberately handed over the shift half an hour early today, thinking about coming over early and waiting for you."
"Now that you're there, let's go straight away!"
With that, Captain Thorfinn took the lead.
Xuanyuan hurriedly followed.
On the way, he gave Captain Thorfinn a brief account of the equipment theft he had just witnessed.
Listen up.
Captain Thorfinn laughed:
"Little brother Xuanyuan, you're still too young."
"You've been deceived, it's just a show, it's not real."
Xuan Yuan was stunned:
"Why?"
Captain Thorfinn explains:
"Now that you have passed the newcomer training, I believe you have understood the cruelty of the dungeon."
"In order to successfully conquer the dungeon, whatever talent they have, they must be allowed to contribute to humanity and not add chaos to the interior."
"Of course there is a talent for stealing."
"Some of the thieves' talents are even more powerful than you can imagine."
"There's no way to track and no defense, and although it has a talent for restraining stealing, it's not as good as the number of people with a talent for stealing."
"Even if you have a talent for stealing, you can't convict people or set some life restrictions because of that."
"After all, the talent for stealing is extremely important in dungeons, especially those of high difficulty and horror dungeons, and in many cases can even determine the life and death of a team."
"Therefore, there are still some hidden guilds within the adventurer's guild."
"The Thieves' Guild is one of them."
"What you just saw was a way for the Thieves Guild to recruit new recruits and fish."
"The difficulty of this method is the lowest, and the ones who are recruited and caught are those who don't like to use their brains or are more impulsive, and they have strong self-sustaining talents."
"The adventurer who stole the weapon deliberately shouted when he left the guild."
"His weapon has long been engraved with the guild's invisible mark."
"You think that person is the unlucky second fool who just paid off the loan and was stolen from the equipment."
"Actually, he is a lucky person who has already repaid the loan and chose to cooperate with the Thieves Guild to try his luck, but he didn't expect to succeed in catching a big fish."
"Regardless of whether he can catch that fish in the end, he may have been forgiven of his debts when he finishes the show."
"Of course, this process is hidden from most people."
"In this way, not only did we complete the recruitment of the Thieves Guild and help some adventurers who couldn't afford to repay their loans, but we also warned some newcomers who were not vigilant, and used the vivid examples in front of them to tell them that they should learn to find ways to protect their equipment from being stolen."
After hearing this, Xuanyuan couldn't help but be stunned.
"So there's still a Thieves' Guild? How did they recruit new people in this way? ”
"Find a group of people who dare to commit crimes, and will obediently obey the arrangements of the thieves' guild?"
Captain Thorfinn smiled again:
"Don't underestimate the guild's methods."
"There is more than one way to recruit new people in the Thieves Guild, and there are many different and hidden ways to recruit new people inside."
"In this process, there will be instructors who will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the new thief's conduct, morality, behavior patterns, decision-making methods, etc."
"In fact, if it is really a hopeless thief, criminal, violent maniac, villain and other wicked people, you will not be able to pass the level of conduct."
"For this category of offenders."
"Far from being worried, the Thieves' Guild is very happy, because these criminals have always been in short supply."
"A normal member of the Thieves' Guild, the guild takes a lot of time and energy to cultivate, and it takes a long time to grow into a thief who is in charge of himself, and it is easy to die in the process."
"In the more difficult dungeons, thieves are easily hated by dungeon monsters, and often enter some extremely dangerous places alone, resulting in a high death rate of thieves and an extremely scarce thief profession."
"Some dungeons, and even those who have a talent for theft all year round, are constantly filling with their lives like consumables."
"And, when the Raiders progress reaches the last level of the dungeon."
"There is an urgent need for someone with a superb talent for theft to steal the information of the dungeon as soon as possible, find the core of the dungeon as quickly as possible, and destroy it."
"Therefore, once the kind of criminal who is found to be vicious and cannot be converted, if the other party has a strong talent for theft."
"will go through the normal process, let his crimes be exposed, and punish him for several crimes."
"After being sent to prison and sentenced to life imprisonment, some special care is given to them in prison, and finally the other party is given a chance opportunity to participate in a death selection."
"Let this person take the initiative to participate in the selection by all means, and participate in a confidential mission that will kill him."
"As long as you can complete the task, you can get rid of your sinful body and start a new life."
"Of course, the mortality rate of this type of mission is generally very high, and those who survive are eligible to become full members of the Thieves' Guild."
"I'm just talking about some semi-open secrets."
"In short, the routines in the Thieves Guild are very deep, they are all a group of human spirits, you can't guess it."
Hearing this, Xuan Yuan couldn't help but be a little amazed.
Sure enough, no matter what world you are in, you can't underestimate the ingenuity of human beings.
Xuan Yuan looked at Captain Thorfinn with some curiosity:
"So, why are you telling me this?"
"Even if it's just a semi-open secret, it's not what I'm qualified to know now, right?"
Captain Thorfinn laughed:
"Don't be presumptuous, you're already qualified."
"The good place to tell you has arrived."
Xuanyuan looked up and found that this was a small shop on the back street, but the name of the store made Xuanyuan feel very familiar:
【Adventurer's House of Little Rice】
He suddenly remembered that the first place he had eaten here was not called [Old Rice Head's Adventurer's House]?
It's such a coincidence that the name is only one word missing?
Could it be that the two restaurant owners are related to each other?
Xuan Yuan forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed Captain Thorfinn into the store.
It's a humble shop.
The signboard is not obvious, and the business is very poor, and it is obvious that it has already arrived.
The rest of the houses are doing thriving, but this one is empty, and there is not a single diner.
Just as Xuanyuan was strange.
Then he saw Captain Thorfinn say to the attendant who was approaching him:
"Two steak noodles."
Xuan Yuan was about to say something, but saw Captain Thorfinn stretch out his hand to stop Xuan Yuan and signal him not to speak.
The waiter nodded knowingly and turned to leave.
After a while, the noodles were not served.
I saw the waiter walking over with a small box of cakes, indicating that the chef saw that they were new faces and specially arranged a small gift from the waiter.
At this time, the cook in the kitchen was standing at the window.
He smiled at Captain Thorfinn and shook his thumb up and down three times.
Xuan Yuan has seen this scene.
The owner of the shop he went to eat at was also gesturing to him in the same way.
This is a common greeting among adventurers, which stands for "safe entry and exit, full return".
Just when Xuanyuan was confused.
But I saw Captain Thorfinn give his right thumb to the opponent, and the thumb was pointing down, shaking it three times in a row.
Xuanyuan was stunned.
This thumbs down gesture.
Both on earth and in this world, it represents the meaning of disdain and provocation.
Xuan Yuan was sensibly silent, because he had already vaguely sensed something.
See Captain Thorfinn in hand.
Instead of being angry, the chef in the kitchen beckoned to the two very politely:
"The code has passed, please follow me."
