Chapter 61: Thief Martin
Xia He slowly said to the thief: "I can't trust you, do you understand? If I need money, killing a few people here is better than going to the secret room to take risks. You are at level 20, and I don't want to use life-saving things on you."
The thief was anxious and didn't know how to convince Xia He.
While frightened, Xia He suddenly said, "If you have to go, you have to promise me something."
"Please speak with me, Your Excellency."
"If you do something that you are sorry for me, your soul belongs to me." Xia He said seriously.
The thief was stunned for a moment, and without thinking too much, he agreed. He was still afraid that a low-level mage would not succeed?
"Let's go." Xia He urged the thief to set off. The thief's feet speeded up and led the way forward. He turned around and left the outer periphery of the maze.
Xia He sensed the breath of the Ghost Eye Mage, and then agreed to the thief's request.
If this thief is in the same place with the polished mage, and the son of Law will probably eat the thief and the belt bones. Xia He doesn't care about the thief's life or death, but is afraid of the ghost-eyed mage's adventure in the secret room. For the son of Law, the adventure is probably a few times a month.
"My Excellency, my name is Martin."
"I am Asra." Xia He replied lightly.
Martin didn't mind Xia He being indifferent. He said to Xia He: "Mr. Asra, the Storm Corner was captured by Bloody Mary, and the original order will be restored after one or two months. We just need to hide in the secret room for a while."
"Why do you say that?"
"If the Bloody Mary people want to get a vote and leave, they will even take down Stormwind City. It should be that the pirates dare not, and they are also concerned about the Holy Thunder Empire."
Xia He smiled a little annoyingly, and he said to Martin: "If Bloody Mary was afraid of the Holy Thunder Empire, she wouldn't have come. Do you think the other two families in Storm Corner have no backgrounds? Behind those two families are also two empires in the Green Forest Continent."
"The Holy Thunder Empire has legendary warships."
Xia He did not comment. Martin felt that the mage was very difficult to deal with, so he said, "Your Excellency, I will stay in the secret room for at least half a year before I come out."
"I can't do it. My companion and I are separated for two months at most, and at least..."
Xia He turned around and could not see the exit of the maze, but his meaning was already very obvious. He would leave the secret room area at any time.
The longer he was separated from Freya, the more worried he became. Although Freya had the inheritance knowledge of the Taoist Palace, her level was less than 20, and she was too weak in this world.
The thief Martin was in a good mood. He was worried that the magician would not leave in the secret room. It turned out that Asra had rejected him before because he didn't have much time and was worried that the lack of gains in the secret room would be divided by himself.
Thinking of this, Martin said to Xia Hedao: "Master, if you leave too early, I will compensate you."
"No need." Xia He jumped off the shadow wolf, released a magic spell, and landed on Martin. Martin was shocked, and two daggers appeared in his palm in an instant, holding them one by one and the other. He stared at Xia He, wanting an explanation.
Xia He turned his head, looked at Martin's face, and said with a smile: "Look, it's so difficult for us to trust each other. What I'm imposing on you is a magic mark so that I won't be able to sense it when you sneak."
Martin was still a little angry, but the other party was a low-level magician first, and he was a level 19 thief. It makes sense that the other party was afraid that he would sneak. The problem is that when he didn't sneak, he faced the magician's magic, his defense was very fragile and very fragile.
The equipment on me is simple and I don’t have much magic defense ability.
After using several skills that ignored magic, they almost let the magician slaughter.
Asra is right, it is too difficult for two people to trust each other.
"Don't worry, we won't spend too long together. When the bloody Mary's affairs slow down, we will go our separate ways and never see each other." Xia He said, reaching out to ask Martin to lead the way.
Of course, the magic mark he gave Martinga was for his own safety. If there was a conflict between the two sides and this magic mark was in it, Xia He's lightning ice cone could lock Martin one thousand meters away. The disadvantage of the lightning ice cone is that it is difficult to lock the enemy, and it is too simple to crush professionals under the same level.
Maybe the magic of Lightning Ice Cone should be added with a pre-type skill?
Martin was a little uneasy, but he had no choice. He was born in a humble background and had no power. He had few friends who could speak up among adventurers. In the southern waters, this was a paradise for adventurers, but adventurers were extremely wary.
He was used to Xia He's behavior.
Xia He imposed a magic mark on Martin, and his attitude was better. He put away the shadow wolf and said to Martin: "When the Storm Corner outside, Bloody Mary has completely controlled the situation?"
"It's almost done. The Lord of Storm City should have reached a tacit understanding with the pirates. In the future, Storm Cape will belong to Bloody Mary."
"Martin, will you still take risks in Storm Point in the future?"
"Let's talk about it in one or two years. If there are no rules here, I will choose to leave." Martin crossed the Xia River and led the way in front. After more than half an hour, the two of them came to a dead end in the maze.
"Martin, you are of such a high level, why don't you have a companion to act together?" Xia He still asked the doubts in his heart. Good thieves are very rare, Martin is almost twenty, and they are very precious to any team.
There are fewer qualified thieves in this world than magicians.
"It's because the level is too high that no one can trust me." Martin also answered helplessly. His stealth skills are fatal to professions under the master.
Double invisibility, strong invisibility, shadow jumping, night travel.
If he turns against him, the profession under the master will easily be taken away by his set of skills, and there is no chance of fighting back.
"Thieves are not suitable for walking alone, you should train a team."
"Asla...Your Excellency, where are you?" Martin asked back. Why did a magician like Xia He walk alone, he was also surprised.
"I have friends, and I got separated during the teleportation." Xia He missed Freya a little and brought it out in his tone.
"That's how..." Martin was a little envious. He could hear who Xia He was missing.
"Is it here?" Xia He looked at the metal frame in front of him, and it looked like the entrance to a small secret room.
"It's here." Martin said, taking out something and walking forward. The objects in his hand looked like a metal rune, something that was not available in this era. Martin stuck the metal rune on the magic pattern outside the secret room, corresponding to each other, and heard the crackling sound inside the secret room, as if a huge metal machine was running.
Xia He saw the portal and entered with great pride, not afraid of Martin's means. The magic mark was still on Martin, and the lightning ice cone could pierce his heart at any time.
"Asra, this secret room was used by goblins to give young people a trial."
Xia He looked up and saw six metal doors around him. He and Martin were in a secret room, which was indeed different from the secret room he had been to before.
"You can't open these doors, right?" Xia He looked at the six doors, and the ancient magic patterns were densely packed, and his spiritual sense was covered, and he felt a little dizzy. The mystery lock had not changed for a long time, but the complexity still made people sigh.
"Yeah, so please take action."
"Which one should be opened first?"
"Asla, which door to open depends on your mood." Martin has the superstition of adventurers. He felt that the mage's luck would be much better than the thief himself. He would rather not make a choice.
"If I want to leave, I will help you open an extra door." Xia He said, walking to the door on the far right, putting his hand on the magic circle, and inputting magic power. He used the skill of scheming the true qi. After the internal structure of the mysterious lock on the metal gate was sensed, the true qi began to pour in crazily.
Martin stood behind Xia He and saw the mage facing his back to him, habitually touching the dagger.
However, the firelight on Xia He's body floated, and Martin was startled and quickly released the dagger.
The metal gate cracked from the middle position and slid left and right. Xia He took his hand back and looked back at Martin. Martin waited nervously. Only then did Xia He carefully look at the thief. The thief's leather armor has been repaired for countless times, and it should be equipment of more than ten levels.
Martin's sleeves were a little white, originally brown clothes, but now they looked gray. His hair was cut very short without a hat. He used a cloth strap to his forehead to prevent sweat from irritating his eyes.
The thief is simple and clean, and the tension and excitement cannot be hidden from his young face.
It is obvious that I am younger, so why do I look at Martin and look like I am watching a child?
Xia He did not go in, but asked a question: "Martin, do you have any dreams?"
Martin was stunned for a moment. The mage's question was abrupt, and he didn't want to refuse to answer.
"When I was young, I wanted to have a lot of money, so I learned to unlock the lock. Then someone asked me for help. I am a child, and they usually gave me more than a dozen copper plates. Don't laugh. With these dozen copper plates, my mother doesn't have to stay up late to sew clothes for others, and she has more time to laugh." Martin's voice was so clean, just like his clothes, but he was telling a very sad story.
"Later, I met a teacher. He was dying and had no energy to take risks. He stayed at my house and taught me the skills of thieves. I learned a lot and no longer wanted to take only a dozen copper coins, so I started a conflict. I never thought I would kill people, nor did I think those adults were so fragile."
"I understand." Xia He didn't want to listen anymore, but Martin continued to say.
"Yes, for the sake of money, I have implicated my mother. You ask me what dreams I have. My dream is to let my mother live, I can make money to support her, let her live a peaceful life, and lie in the cemetery intact."
"This is something that God can't do." Xia He sighed in his heart.
