two days.
The killing in Cross Alley has settled down. Originally, Sauron thought that it would alarm the guards of Amber City to some extent, and also made preparations to escape, but he didn't expect that they had no intention of controlling the life and death of the slums at all. It wasn't until Sauron lingered in the dock area for two days and raised his thieves career level to level 3 that he finally understood something, and also understood why the Amber City Guard didn't care about the escalation of gang fights in the slums.
the reason is simple!
Something more serious happened in Amber City.
Although the guards had tried their best to suppress the news of this major event, some news came out one after another.
— "Someone's been skinned!"
Word had been whispering in the gray area of the docks that the flayed man was a poor watchman, and when the guards found him, all that was left was a bloody corpse. This is not a simple skinning incident, because the peeled human skin can be said to be perfect, without any damage, and it is placed in the most conspicuous corner, as if mocking the incompetence of the guards!
There are only two kinds of people in this world who can have such superb skinning techniques.
One is the fallen believer of the evil god of hell, and the other is the follower of the devil of the abyss.
Everyone who knew the news felt a little panic, especially the nobles desperately put pressure on the guards, because the watchman was skinned in the noble district to tell the time.
There are followers of evil gods or followers of demons mixed into Amber City, and they are still active near the noble district!
The guards are busy now.
They are desperately looking for even the slightest clue, and they have no mood to care about the life and death of the slums.
After the news came out.
Many forces, both inside and outside the city, have restrained a lot, especially those who wander in the gray area in the dock area, and recently obviously began to limit the number of shots. Now that the skinning incident happened, it is impossible for the matter to end like this. According to the understanding of the dark field in the gray area, it is impossible for those lunatics to stop like this.
I'm afraid there will be bloody incidents to escalate in the future!
When Sauron heard the news, his heart trembled badly, and then he realized a little bit.
This is a sign of troubled times to come!
Before the battle of Ragnarok broke out, the demons of hell were the first to strike. Their followers set off bloody killings, the most common of which was the skinning incident. This is an evil and ancient ceremony, which represents that a new soul has fallen into the chaotic and evil camp, and it also means that an evil sacrifice ceremony that has spread to the entire Southern Principality has begun.
"Has the serial skinning incident started?"
The figure of Sauron stood in the corner of the dock area, his eyes were unusually solemn, and he murmured: "Amber City!"
"This should be the border of the Southern Principality."
"Although it is very strange, it seems that I have heard this name before. Something big must have happened in Amber City before the era of turmoil!"
"Otherwise it would be impossible for so many cities to leave an obvious impression on their own."
"In the end what happened?"
Sauron frowned and tried his best to recall, but unfortunately, there were still not enough clues. There were too many big facts that happened continuously at that time.
All the ancient red dragons ran out!
Many people seemed to be crazy and planned to slay the dragon. How could anyone pay attention to what happened in a city in the Southern Principality.
Sauron was also busy in the northern plains at that time, trying to find a way to hunt down the hill giant.
Dragon Slayer
He wasn't that naive then.
However, with a fifth-level thief professional level, without any part-time job transfer advanced mastery, it is already a bit crazy and very risky to plan to hunt and kill a hill giant independently. You must know that the challenge level of a hill giant is 10, which means that a team of adventurers with a professional level of 10 or above is half likely to defeat it.
"The skinning incident has begun."
Sauron looked at the goods coming and going in the dock area, as if foreseeing the coming turmoil, and murmured: "It seems that we should go to the hidden treasure cave."
strength.
This is the most important thing in troubled times.
Because only strength can guarantee your survival, and only strength can protect everything you cherish!
The gods are coming.
The era of saints has begun!
Ordinary people are not qualified to interfere with the trajectory of history, and no one can prevent the catastrophe from coming. Sauron never thought he could do things that tens of millions of players couldn't do back then. The only thing he can do is to accumulate more strength for himself before the turbulent era really comes, at least he can protect himself in the face of danger!
…
two days.
It was enough for Sauron to figure out the approximate location of the hidden treasure cave!
Almost most of the cities have such a hidden treasure cave. It is said that it was written by a powerful lich. It seems that they are planning to plot some kind of conspiracy, but unfortunately it has fallen before it was completed. Many people had explored these treasure caves back then, and found many messy things from them, even including parts for making the body of a lich. But what really attracted Sauron was the extraordinary equipment in the treasure cave. Extraordinary equipment in this world is very rare, and it is more difficult to obtain than everyone imagined!
Treasure Cave is the only place in the early stage where you can get extraordinary equipment and have a certain chance of getting legendary items.
Since it is the place where the Lich arranged it, the clue must be related to the undead.
As long as you inquire about haunted places in the city, and then simply eliminate them, you can find out where the hidden treasure cave is.
Treasure caves like this in the previous life were explored early, and now there should be no one competing with Sauron. However, since he couldn't find someone he trusted to act together, he could only venture in and explore alone. I just hope that the difficulty of the challenge inside will not exceed level 5. After all, there used to be treasure caves with a challenge level of 8 or above.
At that time, six teams of adventurers were destroyed, and only the last team managed to get a Lich's phylactery.
Too bad it's broken!
After being busy in the dock area for two or three days, Sauron's career level has been raised to level three, and his attributes have also been improved.

…
Starting from upgrading to level 3, the professional experience gained by thieves from picking locks will be greatly reduced.
Only some clever and complex locks can gain career experience, and the simplest alarm trap can't improve the thief's skill. In the beginning, you can get dozens of professional experience locks, but now you can get a few professional experience at most. Therefore, there is no need for Sauron to waste time on them. After all, after the fifth level, it is basically difficult for thieves to gain professional experience from picking locks.
Every adventurer profession will get a significant improvement when upgrading to three levels!
For example, a wizard can comprehend a spellcasting specialty when reaching the third level, and at the same time learn to master the second-level arcane magic. The paladin can master the feat of judging evil at the third level, the druid can gain the animal perception feat at the third level, and so on. Among them, the fighter with the greatest improvement should be able to obtain a professional specialty of 'Awakening of Fortitude', which permanently increases health by 10 points, and gains 5% physical damage immunity.
This is the prerequisite for future legendary fighters to comprehend 'absolute tenacity' and 'resoluteness'!
compared to other professionals.
The first occupational specialty that a rogue obtains is very general, and that is the most basic shadow mastery.
In this special world, a person's strength includes many aspects, including the ability attached to the profession, and the ability developed by the individual. Just like the specialties you have, personal specialties are the exclusive abilities that you have mastered and learned through training, while professional specialties are the abilities and skills that most of the same professions have.
For example, thieves.
Almost the vast majority of thieves above level 3 have the professional specialty of shadow mastery, unless the personal attribute talent is too low, even the most basic shadow mastery cannot be comprehended. Therefore, other thieves basically have the professional specialty of 'shadow mastery', but they may not have the personal specialties of 'dexterous left hand' and 'photographic memory'.
"Shadow Mastery [Professional Specialty]: Rogues have gradually felt the power of shadows during the long-term training and battle, and this power has gradually penetrated into their blood, allowing them to better hide themselves in the shadows. Rogues sneak in the shadows When the skill level is increased by 5 points, when attacking out of the shadows, an additional 1 point of shadow damage can be added."
After the occupation is upgraded to level five, one can become a level two adventurer.
At that time, thieves can master a combat skill - 'shadow attack and kill'! The current shadow mastery is the prerequisite for learning the shadow attack!
At this stage, many professions will have an obvious improvement, but Sauron likes to call this "extraordinary awakening".
Because other professional specialties are similar.
"Strength and Awakening [Professional Specialty]: During long-term training and combat, the blood power in the warrior's body has gradually out of the scope of ordinary people, and it is difficult for ordinary injuries to pose a fatal threat to him! The warrior permanently improves himself by 10 points HP, and get 5% physical damage immunity, and get an additional +2 advantage when judging abnormal status!"
Then there are the paladin class feats.
"Judgment of evil [occupational expertise]: The paladin's firm belief has withstood many tests. When encountering evil targets, he can always easily judge them, so as to prevent them from being deceived and used by evil targets. When the holy warrior When a samurai fights against enemies of the evil camp, he can pray for a trace of divine power of order, this power has infiltrated their blood, so every time he hits an evil enemy, he can add 1 point of holy damage."
This is the pre-feature of 'Evil Breaking Slash', and it is also the reason why there are still so many paladins alive in the world.
Their instincts for evil are keen!
Otherwise, this group of brains would have been played to death long ago.
There is not much difference in professional specialties, most of them are due to the awakening of a certain extraordinary ability due to the improvement of professional level. This kind of specialization will gradually strengthen with the increase of level. Many professional specialties are the key to mastering top-level abilities in the legendary field. For example, if a thief wants to comprehend the combat skill of 'Shadow Step', he must master professional expertise above 'Shadow Master'.
