Chapter 7 The Strong, the Smart, and the Unfortunate Thieves
It was the discussion of the diners.
Although it is very quiet, when the number of people increases, it is difficult for people to ignore it.
As for who to talk about?
Dong dong dong——
"Oh, dear Vlad! Long time no see!"
Following the sound, I saw a tall, strong man with a bright smile on his face on the stairs leading to the second floor.
The sound just now was made by him.
And the object?
Art turned his head and looked at the door of the restaurant, where stood a tall and thin man. Although he didn't look particularly handsome, he had a special temperament.
The sword hanging on his waist further illustrates his identity - a ranger.
Like the strong man, they are not professionals, they are just constantly honing their strength and skills. To be honest, their profession is warriors.
However, because they temper themselves in different directions, people call them different names.
This ranger honed his sword skills, focusing on speed and skill, so he was dubbed the ranger.
That strong man is traditional, focusing on honing his strength and frontal combat effectiveness, so he is directly called a warrior.
Not everyone has the talent to become a professional, but people without talent are not willing to give up.
These ordinary professionals who have grown up through self-discipline account for almost half of the total number of "professionals".
Although I don’t know where the cheap father got the “half” data, it can explain the number of these ordinary professionals.
"If you weren't my friend, I would cut off your head." The tall and thin ranger sighed, "Your voice should be lower."
"Oh, that's impossible, Lucock." The strong man smiled and put his arm around his shoulders, and the two of them walked upstairs together.
Watching the two of them walk upstairs, a thin young man sitting at the table next to Art said with some envy: "I'm so envious, you're a professional."
"You can do it too." Another young man who seemed to be his friend smiled and said, "First of all, you need to get enough exercise, such as lifting a ten-pound bucket a thousand times a day."
"Oh, no, forget it, my hand will be broken." The thin young man pursed his lips, "I don't want to lose my job."
The two started talking and laughing again.
Art sat aside, listening to the conversation between the two, and moved his eyes to the stairwell: "Ordinary professionals... Forget it, let's find a chance to become a wizard, although I don't know where he is.
, but after all, he is also a descendant of blue blood."
The Crow Mage is indeed very powerful and omnipotent, but he does not have powerful destructive skills. In the books of the blue-blood nobles, this wizard's power is devastating.
"Wizard...Wizard..."
Art's fingers tapped on the table, making regular soft sounds that were masked by the noise in the restaurant.
At night, after the short sunset glow fills the sky, the dark night covers the sky.
In Art's world, most birds do not have night vision, except for a few owls and falcons.
And in this world?
After knowing that the black crow Golora had a late night snack last night, Art understood that this Golora black crow had the ability to see at night.
Night is a good time to take action.
In this pitch-black town, a dark figure moved swiftly among the buildings, evading the gaze of the patrolling guards lightly and quickly.
"Hmph, John, I should have a good harvest today."
Thief John is a very famous one among the three hands in Ferro Town.
Thieves are not extraordinary professionals. Rogues who can communicate with the shadow plane are extraordinary professionals.
Of course, if these thieves are smart and agile enough, they can also be regarded as ordinary professionals.
John, can barely be considered one.
He is proud of his speed and dexterity, as well as his high IQ.
Today, John, the highly intelligent, agile and agile thief, will start work.
The target is the businessmen who came to Ferro Town today.
When facing fat sheep passing by, if you can't get mutton, you have to at least get some wool.
While John was staring at Randy Hanselton's caravan room in the hotel, he didn't notice that a crow was staring at his back, its dark eyes reflecting a strange light.
...
"It would be great if there was shared vision." Art lay on the bed, resting his head on his hands, muttering to himself, "Shared vision requires 1 skill point."
He sent out the black crow Glora. Although he could use his spirit to transmit instructions remotely through the system, he didn't know what Glora had encountered.
Even if Glora fed back information, it was only a simple emotion and could not tell him what happened. Only by learning shared vision can one truly control the crow with ease.
Art's eyes were on the dark career column:
lv1 [Shared Vision], can share vision with the servant crow.
lv [Curse of Weakness] can temporarily put the enemy into a weakened state, reducing the enemy's defense and attack capabilities.
lv [Group Command], the group slightly strengthens the damage of the slave crow.
lv [Dark Energy Erosion] releases a dark attribute energy spell impact. When attacked, the recovery effect of the enemy will be reduced, that is, the healing effect will be reduced.
lv4 [Crow Black Fog], summons a toxic fog that can obscure the field of vision. The effect is affected by the number and quality of crows.
lv4 [Group Rampage], the group will greatly and comprehensively strengthen the servant crow for a short period of time, and will fall into a weak state after the end.
lv5 [Position Exchange], can make two crows exchange positions.
lv6 [Crow Shield], all servant crows lose a certain amount of HP, and add a shield to the user. The effect is affected by the number and quality of crows.
lv8 [Feedback Dedication] causes the slave crows to lose a certain amount of mp or hp and provide it to the user at a certain ratio, but at this time the crows will freeze, which means that they cannot be used when the slave crows enter combat status.
Although these skills are very powerful and have great effects, before the tenth level, the Crow Mage profession has only one damaging skill, and there are very few attack skills obtained before the tenth level and after that.
This is also something he has been complaining about in the early stages of the game. In order to make up for this weakness, he acquired a large number of general offensive skills in the game.
But now, he has no skill points at all, and he can't learn these skills...
This is the worst.
"Forget it, let's talk about that first. Let's find the money first." Putting down the outline of the half-formed plan for the time being, Art's attention focused on Gloria.
...
"Tsk tsk tsk, rich businessman." The cautious thief chuckled twice in his heart, and then slipped into the hotel in the night.
The doors and windows of this hotel that he had entered dozens of times could not stop him at all. On the contrary, this place that had been penetrated became his best cover.
Recalling the layout of the accommodation he saw during the day, the thief skillfully climbed up to the second floor of the hotel and moved towards the "Big Fat Sheep"'s room.
Thinking that after succeeding this time, he could live a decent life for a while, the fragrant wine and the soft body of a certain gorgeous oriole appeared in his mind, making the thief's heart become even hotter.
"Oh, damn." After the cavernous body expanded, it pressed against the wall, making him feel a little uncomfortable even through the cloth.
We have to take action quickly.
After making a decision in his heart, the thief became more cautious in his actions. In the past ten years, he would not forget the fate of the good thieves who had made mistakes one after another.
The wire stretched through the window and opened a window. This was an empty room with no guests staying, located to the left of the big fat sheep's room.
The thief climbed in deftly, then opened the door, keeping it ajar. Then, he left through the window, climbed on the wall again, and used the same technique to open another empty room on the right.
A qualified thief should be prepared with two hands, or even three hands.
If he can steal the property quietly, that would be the best. If he fails, then he needs to jump out of the window. If the window is blocked, he needs to open the door and escape from another room.
As for going downstairs directly?
Oh, that's impossible. The hotel owner lives downstairs, and the businessman's stewards and guards live in the two rooms opposite.
Use the shortest route possible to escape.
Outside, two of his accomplices were watching the wind, while the other one opened the door of an empty room opposite.
Such preparations gave him three, no, four escape routes.
The thief was proud of his smart and cautious preparation, but he did not notice that a crow was standing in a dark corner not far from him, its black eyes glowing with moonlight.
After that, the thief sneaked into the merchant's room very smoothly, and his deep breathing confirmed his decision to sneak in at this time.
Then, when he reached for the businessman's money bag...
"Wow - wow -"
A hoarse scream sounded outside the window.
The loud crow of the crow not only woke up the sleeping businessman, but also woke up the guard downstairs.
The businessman who woke up did not have any diseases such as hypotension. The first moment he woke up, Randy Hanselton, who valued his money very much, shouted:
"Hank!!! Lucan!!!"
"Damn it!" Without any hesitation, the thief jumped through the window and jumped away.
However, just as he jumped out and quickly held onto the window as a buffer, he felt a sharp pain.
In order to protect his money, the businessman used twelve points... no, twenty points of courage, grabbed something, and threw it at the thief.
Because of the pain, the thief subconsciously let go of his hand.
What awaited him was the sharp pain in his body and back, and the candlestick thrown by the businessman, which fell just below his landing point, brought him even greater pain.
When everyone went downstairs to catch the fallen thief, no one noticed that a dark crow took the opportunity to fly into the room.
