Pas City is a very ordinary medium-sized city. This city has no characteristics, neither good nor bad. Among the many cities in the Central Continent, there is almost nothing that can be noticed.
This city has the same white and black as the rest of the city. In some dark corners, for survival or for other reasons, people engage in the oldest profession in the world, thieves.
The profession of thieves is the lowest in the Central Continent, and no one will look down upon them.
These humble people are looking for opportunities to attack in the city and among ordinary people.
They dare not look for professionals. Every professional has spiritual power. Thieves who dare to reach out to professionals will end up miserable.
There is a small courtyard in the east of Paz City, which is the base of the thieves in Paz City. The seemingly chaotic thieves are managed here.
Any thief who comes here from other cities and does not report here will be taught a lesson or even killed directly.
Milton is the owner of this small courtyard, a skinny old man who looks to be in his sixties.
At this moment, Milton was dealing with a dispute. He listened to the two thieves' respective reasons with a smile. He was famous for his fairness. When there were conflicts between thieves in this city, most of them wanted to be with him. has been solved.
Of course, this is also related to his announcement that he is not allowed to solve each other's troubles privately, and must be handled by him.
The bodies of thieves who violated these rules were sunk to the bottom of the river.
Milton likes to deal with these things, it allows him to feel that he has something to do.
In fact, as a god who has lived for thousands of years and has low strength but is still alive and well, he doesn't know how to pass the time without his own kingdom and without finding something to do.
There are not many of his followers in the Central Continent, and most of them are very shallow believers.
These believers might one day change their profession because they were caught stealing, and they would no longer believe in him, the god of thieves.
But precisely because there is no threat, he is one of the few gods who has not sided with the Wizards Guild and has not been purged.
The fact that he is not strong does not mean that his life-saving ability is not good. Although he does not have a divine kingdom, he has the ability to become invisible and hide his own aura, allowing him to completely avoid all dangers.
In addition, he never does anything dangerous. He just wants to live. He doesn't want to greatly expand the number of believers. He doesn't even have his own priests.
He is the God of Thieves, and thieves and thieves are the source of his belief. Now the entire Central Continent is under the rule of the Wizards Guild. Although there are various empires, those empires only serve the Wizards Guild, or even the wizard organizations under the Wizards Guild.
In a period when there was a strong hostile presence like the Kingdom of God, peace was the main theme of the Central Continent. It was impossible to have too many thieves and thieves. As long as there were more, they would be strangled from all sides.
Of course, Thief God Milton knows this, so he has always felt at ease. Now the power of faith he gets every day is enough to keep him alive.
As for the Kingdom of God, that kind of lofty thing, he didn't even have to think about it.
He was afraid that if he thought about it and did something crazy, he would become one of the many gods in the basement of the wizard's guild headquarters.
Just as he was listening to the argument between the two thieves with a smile and finding some fun in it, his face suddenly tightened, and a dangerous aura emanated from him.
The bodies of the two thieves were directly pressed to the ground by an aura, losing all mobility. As Milton, the God of Thieves, focused on the information he received, their lives were rapidly draining away.
When Milton, the God of Thieves, regained his composure, he found that both thieves were dead, succumbing to his breath.
Even if he only showed a trace of his breath, it was not something two ordinary thieves could bear.
But he didn't want to pay attention to the two dead thieves, because bigger trouble was coming.
He had just discovered from some scattered prayers from believers from various places that there were people in many places in the Central Continent who were looking for relevant information about him.
That method is very simple and crude, that is, to capture some thieves, use a special method to make the thieves speak, and find out whether they are followers of the God of Thieves and whether they know where the God of Thieves lives.
Of course, this method also allowed other thieves to discover the matter, because those who captured the thieves were ordinary people, and there were no professionals among them.
Is this to alert the enemy and force him to show up, or is it for something else
Milton, the God of Thieves, had a bad feeling in his heart. The opponent was probably not the Wizards Guild, because if the Wizards Guild took action, they would not use professionals at all.
He began to quickly search for information about a few believers with deep beliefs that he had not paid attention to recently. Through the faith channel, he could learn more information.
Although one or several believers don't know much about it, over the years, his belief has become deeper and the number of believers who can use the belief channel has increased to tens of thousands, distributed throughout the Central Continent.
There are dozens of his followers even in the Kingdom of God.
The believers in the Central Continent did not provide him with any information, but the dozens of believers in the Kingdom of God unexpectedly provided him with some information.
The Central Temple of the Kingdom of Gods was unexpectedly invaded. I don’t know what was stolen. On that day, the Central Temple sent countless strong men, and even many strong men on the frontline battlefield were transferred back. Dozens of people were gathered around the Central Temple. The city is looking for relevant clues.
It was precisely because the movement was relatively loud that several of his followers got the news.
Thief God Milton connected everything almost immediately. The Kingdom of God, the Central Temple, was stolen, ordinary people investigated, and the Central Continent was unaware. A series of information was flowing in his mind.
What kind of intelligence organization is an intelligence organization that only mobilizes ordinary people? Needless to say, only the intelligence organization in the Kingdom of God is like this.
As far as he knows, the Kingdom of God has a special brainwashing ability that can make people become believers of demons from outside the world. This ability is the envy of all gods. Its biggest drawback is that it cannot be used on professionals.
This is why even with the strong suppression from the Wizards Guild, the Kingdom of God has established a huge intelligence network in the Central Continent.
"Damn it, those guys with bad heads don't think I stole their things, do they?" Milton, the God of Thieves, thought to himself.
This was a suspicion, but a sixth sense from the gods told him that it was close to the truth.
He had the urge to scream, how dare a god like him enter the Kingdom of Gods, how dare he take action against the temple.
You must know that before the Wizards Guild eliminates the gods, he still has some room for existence. At that time, he also thought about accumulating some resources to build his kingdom of God.
At that time, he also had the resources to make his own artifacts and use those artifacts to gather the power of faith.
As the artifacts are passed down in the world, some people will know about the artifacts and the gods who made the artifacts, so the world will not forget the existence of the gods.
This is also the back-up plan that many gods prepare for themselves. If a powerful enemy destroys themselves and the place of faith, then the existence of artifacts is their only clue to existence in the world.
As long as there are people in the world who know the gods, then the gods will not truly die.
But everything started to change after the Wizards Guild purged the gods. The existence of gods became taboo. He didn't even dare to preach. He could only use various hints, legends and other methods to let thieves and thieves from all over the world develop their own beliefs.
To be honest, he didn't even want to get close to an existence like the Kingdom of God that could compete with the Wizards Guild. This was also the biggest reason why he was alive until now.
Although he is said to be a god now, in real terms, he can only be regarded as a demigod. A god without a kingdom of gods may die at any time due to accidents.
If he goes to the Kingdom of God to steal, he will need to use his real body to go there, and his death will become the most likely thing.
His heart felt cold. The Kingdom of God was looking for him so frantically, and he was confident of escaping.
But once the Kingdom of God's frantic search for him is noticed by the Wizards Guild, then he may be searched for by the two major forces.
Because the Wizards Guild doesn't know why the Kingdom of God is looking for him. According to the Wizards Guild's thinking, since the Kingdom of God is looking for him, then he must have what the Kingdom of God needs. No matter what it is, the Wizards should be the first step.
In this case, he is afraid that he will have to hide around the entire continent again, and there will be no stable life.
Milton, the God of Thieves, knows very well that as long as he finds his true believers, whether it is the Wizards Guild or the Kingdom of God, they will have the means to find his approximate location through the channel of belief.
How so many gods were killed by the Wizards Guild back then is not just a random guess, but the special means used.
The Kingdom of God itself has a system of gods, and its research on faith is much deeper than other gods, so it is not impossible to find him.
"Who threw the pot to me!" The more the thief god Milton thought about it, the angrier he became. He didn't hate the Kingdom of God. He couldn't afford to offend the Kingdom of God. He only hated the thief.
How could he not be angry at this behavior that clearly made him take the blame.
He began to search again for information in the minds of believers in the Kingdom of Gods who knew what was going on. One of the believers was located closer to the central temple and knew more rumors.
For a profession like a thief, one knows more things than ordinary people. On the one hand, this is for one's own safety, and on the other hand, it is also for profit.
Therefore, after this believer learned that the central temple was stolen, he became curious and even imagined whether he could get some benefits from him if he could meet the person who took action.
Being able to steal something from the central temple, even just a little bit, would be enough for him.
For such a big event, naturally all kinds of rumors spread, and this believer also heard many versions of the rumors.
After getting the rumors known to the believers, Milton, the God of Thieves, also analyzed the connection.
The main reason why the Kingdom of Gods is sure that it was Milton, the God of Thieves, who took action, is that the person who took action to steal the things was invisible, and the second reason was that he was extremely fast, so fast that even a strong person could not stop him.
Just these two rumors made even the God of Thieves Milton himself begin to wonder if he had done it himself.
Naturally, he knew that it was impossible for him to do it himself, but the suspicion of the Kingdom of God was not unfounded.
Although there are many ways to achieve the ability of invisibility, if you can still be invisible in the temple, then it is definitely the ability of the gods.
Among the living gods today, the only one who can become invisible within the temples of other gods is Milton, the Thief God.
In any case, after the scapegoat knew so much information, he knew that he was betrayed.
He looked at this small courtyard. He saw two corpses on the ground and burned them to ashes with a fireball. After cleaning up the corpses, he knew that he could not stay here any longer.
Maybe he started living a wandering life just like before.
He really wanted to find the guy who stole the Central Temple of the Kingdom of God, but he also knew that the guy who dared to attack the Central Temple of the Kingdom of God might be extremely powerful, and he might not be able to offend him.
But first he wants to find that guy. If the other person is strong, then he will steal something to vent his anger. If he is not strong, then he will kill the other person to avenge him for taking the blame.
He is a god, or a demigod, and has dignity.
Thinking of this, he packed up the things in the small courtyard, and then burned the small courtyard with a fire.
Looking at the people coming to put out the fire, Milton, the thief god behind the crowd, sighed softly and left the city where he had lived for decades.
He didn't dare to use the teleportation circle and could only walk directly with his feet.
After walking out of Paz City, his figure became illusory and then disappeared. This was true invisibility.
It is this ability of invisibility that allows him to roam freely even though he is not strong. Gods who are more powerful than him are caught and destroyed. He, a weak god, still lives in the Central Continent.
Then his invisible body left the ground and began to fly, and he flew faster and faster.
Speed is his strong point. What he uses is stealth and speed. Stealth is to be able to sneak into the target, and speed is to speed up his escape when he is discovered.
With his speed, once deployed, he has almost no fear of anyone pursuing him.
However, that kind of speed is not without cost. Now he only dares to use ordinary speed. High speed requires the consumption of divine power. For a weak god like him, the divine power can only maintain what the body needs.
He does not have the Kingdom of God, partly because he cannot provide the resources that the Kingdom of God needs, and on the other hand, even if the Kingdom of God is given to him, he cannot afford it.
A Kingdom of God requires fixed divine power to maintain. Unless it takes thousands or even tens of thousands of years to slowly accumulate the most devout believers, those believers will be paid into the Kingdom of God after their death, thereby reducing the consumption of the Kingdom of God.
Some powerful gods can even rely on the kingdom of God to be self-sufficient, but that is not what a weak demigod like Milton, the thief god, can imagine. What he needs is just to live.
