Chapter 6 Dock Area(1/2)
A simple but cozy breakfast.
When Sauron was about to go out, Vivian immediately stood up silently, tidied up his sleeves with his little hands, and then stood on the stool and tiptoed to fix his collar. There was no words, because they had already had a tacit understanding, Sauron gently touched her little head and then walked out of the low shed.
"Brother...brother!..."
When Sauron left, Vivian shrank gently and locked the door tightly.
In the past, my brother went out like this when he had something to do, but she was not afraid at all, because there was Heath around her, and even if a bad person broke in, there was an old dog to protect her. There have been many robberies in the slums. Now Heath has left forever, and she is the only one alone in the room, so she is always a little scared.
After all.
After all, she is just an eight-year-old girl.
She has always felt no security, fearing the dark, loneliness, and being alone.
But she couldn't tell Sauron.
Because Sauron also has very important things, he needs to get back the money, and there is not much food at home.
She doesn't want to be a burden to her brother.
Even though she could do very little now, the little girl still felt that she shouldn't worry Sauron.
"Vivian."
The little girl held the broom tightly in her hand and whispered: "You have to learn to be stronger!"
"You have to learn to take care of yourself."
"My brother has woken up, no one dares to come and disturb him again."
"They are all afraid of their brother!"
Pier area.
This is the most densely populated place in Amber City, and the entire city's economy is supported by a Onyx River.
Most men in the slums work hard here. The Onyx River ships transport goods from all over the place and then require a large amount of labor to transport them. This is also the place where gang struggles are the most intense. More than a dozen gangs of all sizes make a living here. Whether it is stealing property, deducting goods, or extorting protection fees, many gangs can always find ways to make money.
"That's Sauron?!"
A tall and thin man glanced at Soren who was walking in the distance, immediately whispered to the people around him, and then walked towards him and said, "Sorren."
"The boss wants to see you!"
Sauron looked up at the man in front of him, and when he thought about it, he remembered who he was, a guy named Garys.
He is a good warrior.
I once followed others as adventurers for a while, but I didn't expect that I had just left Amber City and encountered a group of goblins and werewolfs. The werewolf are very dangerous creatures. They were in groups of activities and often attacked adventurers in the middle of the night. The entire adventurer's team died in a row. He escaped by chance, but one arm was seriously injured. Later, he joined the local gang and never had the idea of becoming a powerful adventurer to win amazing wealth and reputation.
If calculated according to the profession template, he should be a level 10 civilian/level 3 warrior.
It's weaker than the guards of Agate City!
"Boss?"
Sauron looked at him and shook his head: "The head is dead."
"Killed by that wizard."
A task that should not be taken at all not only killed Sauron, but also killed most of the core members of the gang.
Are wizards so easy to mess with?
In this world, the wizards who are qualified to take action alone are all above level one, and if they are replaced with a professional template, they are at least level 10 scholars/level 5 wizards.
Not to mention a mere gang, even a regular team may not be able to beat him.
Sauron knew the terribleness of wizards above the first level. If it weren't for their own fragility, they would be the most powerful profession.
The crazy turmoil in this world is about to begin. Not to mention a mere high-level professional, even the legendary field may be erased like someone kills chickens and dogs.
He has no interest in wasting time on a local unclimate gang.
"Soren."
Garys looked at him silently and said slowly: "Cole has become the new boss."
"Do you want to see him or not."
"Cole is not a good person to talk to."
Sauron is an excellent thief, and no matter which gang it is, he will not give up such a source of wealth easily.
It was okay for him to be unconscious before, but no one would pay attention to a dying guy, but now that he has woken up, he naturally has to find a way to win him over.
Sauron heard the faint threat, and his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of murderous intent!
He is a thief.
Thieves are also assassins in the shadows, and they are more dangerous than anyone else.
"I will decide for myself."
Sauron ignored Garris and walked towards the dock area.
He still has some serious things to do!
The former Sauron seemed a little cowardly in the gang because he took Vivian into consideration. Every time he stolen something, a large part of it would be exploited. The rest was almost enough for them to make a living. The main reason was that Sauron had not received formal combat training. Even though he had agility value of more than 18 points, his combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of a warrior who had received formal training. But Sauron is different now, and the man in front of him would definitely not be able to stand up to three moves!
……………………
This inconspicuous warehouse contains a lot of goods, which is a very common place in the dock area.
A shadow approached quietly.
Sauron carefully avoided the guards outside, and the men were just strong ordinary people. He quickly found a box after entering it.
It was a locked box with more valuable goods inside.
He took out a hooked wire from his pocket, and at present he only had the simplest lock-opening tool on him.
Sauron reached in carefully, then his fingers flexibly turned.
bite!
Click!
After a while, the lock on the box was quickly pried open.
A row of data emerges:
"The lock is successfully picked!"
"You have improved your thief skills and gain 15 professional experience."
When Sauron saw the data emerging in front of him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the way to obtain professional experience is still preserved.
The early stage of the thief is not a powerful combat profession. It is not as strong as a warrior, nor can it master special abilities like a paladin. Adventure-killing in the wild is very dangerous for thieves. Whether it is low-level kobolds or goblins, they all appear in groups, many of them have a sensitive sense of smell and it is easy to find sneaking low-level thieves. Therefore, in the initial stage, the only way for thieves to improve their strength level is to pick locks and untie traps.
This is the safest way!
Before the profession level is upgraded to level 5, thieves can gain experience by picking locks. Before the profession level is upgraded to level 10, you can still gain considerable professional experience by removing the trap.
As for the latter, only some special magic locks and advanced traps are useful!
Ordinary locks and traps can no longer improve the thief's skills.
Squeak!
Soren gently opened the box, which contained some tea bricks. He did not move the goods, but continued to be ordinary boxes.
If you pry the same lock twice, you cannot gain professional experience. If you want to gain experience, you must achieve the conditions to improve the thief skills. There are many locked boxes on the dock, which is enough to increase his thief level a little.
Two or three boxes were pried open in a row.
Sauron's steps suddenly stopped in front of a door. He carefully observed the ground, then took a deep breath.
Click!
He jumped up gently and landed on an oak barrel. Then he stretched out his finger to pinch an inconspicuous thread, lifted the thread and wrapped it around a nail, then cut off the other end with a dagger, and then quickly removed an alarm device. This is a simple trap. If the thread is accidentally broken, the other end of the trap will sound an alarm ring.
At that time, many thieves suffered losses and were caught and beaten to become disabled!
The world of "The Battle of the Gods" is cruel.
Those thieves who were beaten to be disabled were not treated and could not afford the expensive treatment costs. They eventually became disabled and had to die and start over.
It is extremely difficult to advance from a low-level profession to the legendary realm!
Many people fall down again and again.
This not only requires strength, but luck is also a very important part!
Sauron waited quietly, carefully observing the ground, looking for possible traps.
A warehouse like this.
If an alarm trap is installed, then there is no way to have only one, and there will inevitably be another trap.
There may be something valuable inside.
