at dusk.
Sauron took Vivian back to the hut in the slums.
He bought a lot of things back. After all, the journey might take as long as a month. They had to go from Amber City to White Horse City along the road, and then diverted from White Horse City to Autumn Leaf City to avoid the range of gnolls. There is a gathering place for half-elves, but there are still nearly five days away from the Dream Forest. Traveling in this era is very troublesome. It took Sauron half a day to find a caravan heading for White Horse City, and then followed them at the price of five Kindlers.
The Agate River runs through the north and south, and the Amber City developed on this condition.
However, water and land transportation can only be regarded as a channel, and more goods need to be transported by caravans to various places.
It is normal to travel in the field to find caravan companions, because most caravans will have their own guards, which may be hired by a big merchant, or several merchants pooled their money to hire them. If other people intend to go with them, they will pay a certain price according to the distance of the journey. In return, they will protect you along the way and provide certain help. Most of the caravan guards are warriors with clean family backgrounds, and some have even formed a team organization, directly attached to the Adventurer's Union.
This is a bit like an escort agency, a business that relies on word of mouth.
After all, the risk of traveling in the wild is too great, and all the wealth and life are gambled on it, and any accident may lose everything.
So not all adventurers can become caravan guards.
trust.
This is important, very important!
…
Dimly by candlelight.
Vivian was arranging her small cloth bag, which contained a lot of odds and ends, and even small things like needlework.
If you don't have a whole body of extraordinary equipment, there will always be times when you can get them.
Sauron is also organizing his own things. The three-foot dimensional bag does not look small, with a space close to 1 cubic meter, but it is not enough to actually hold things. Just a few sets of clothes for the two of them, as well as some prepared dry food and camping tools, almost half of the space inside was used. At this stage, the ten-foot dimensional bag is something that Sauron dare not even think about. Although the space has only been expanded by about three times, the price has soared by more than thirty times!
Ten-foot dimensional bags are used as small warehouses.
The little girl tidied up her things carefully, and she put the beautiful and exquisite moccasin boots by the bedside, and she couldn't help but smile with joy every time she looked at them. Although Sauron asked her to put it on now, Vivienne still insisted on wearing it on the day of departure, because the road environment in the slums was too harsh.
If you are not careful, you may step on feces and mud, and even the wilderness outside is better than here.
The little girl doesn't have much.
Soon she had finished tidying up, tilting her head to see Sauron busy, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.
Looking at the dimension bag, I still find it novel. There are so many things in this world that I don’t know. My brother said that he would take me to the kingdom of elves. Are the elves there really as beautiful as in the legend
I wish I could see them sooner!
The young girl didn't realize the fatigue and danger of the journey at all, but just satisfied the curiosity and fantasy in her heart.
After all, she is only eight years old this year, and she is still too young.
Sauron fastened a pair of leggings and a waist buckle, and tried to see if it fit well. Then he took out a pair of sharp throwing knives, and carefully inserted them one by one. There was a fixed small bag on it. It is natural to be fully prepared for outdoor adventures. It is not easy to wear bows and arrows and crossbows when holding a scimitar, so it is necessary to carry some throwing knives with you.
The lethality of 1D3 is also possible to save lives!
The thieves themselves played delicate jobs. Sauron modified the crossbow launcher, removed the shell and the bracket for continuous shooting, and turned it into a single-shot sleeve crossbow.
That way it's small enough to fit inside clothing.
However, the lethality will be greatly reduced, but the advantage lies in concealment, which can be used for sneak attack.
aboveboard
This kind of thing has nothing to do with thieves.
"Worry!"
Sauron grabbed the throwing knife and threw it out, hitting the door frame in an instant. He calculated his aim and strength, and said to himself: "With the current strength, the effective range is only ten meters at most, which is barely enough for field battles." gone."
There are actually a lot of things that two people need to bring.
In addition to the full dimension bag, Sauron also prepared a package.
The caravan will set off the day after tomorrow, so tomorrow he will take Vivienne to buy a mount. War horses are definitely not something to think about, and you can't even afford to buy them.
It is possible to prepare one pack horse, and the price is about 10 Kindlers.
Many people naively think that horses eat grass, but in fact, most horses eat grain. Even inferior pack horses need to be regularly fed with soybean bran and forage, otherwise they will not have sufficient physical strength. If it is a high-quality war horse, beans and rice wheat are used as one of the staple foods, and eggs and other foods are regularly mixed into it. (Wild horses spend most of their time eating. —Buddha.)
Otherwise, how could he afford the charge of a heavily armored knight!
If it is other special mounts, it needs to be fed with meat, and the daily cost is as high as more than ten silver delores.
"Go to sleep."
Sauron pulled out the throwing knife, then took off his equipment, and said softly, "I'll go shopping tomorrow."
"We're leaving the day after tomorrow."
"It may be very hard along the way, now you have to take a good rest."
Vivienne nodded obediently, then shrank her petite body inside, and said in a low voice, "Brother."
"There's something I haven't told you yet."
Sauron smiled and rubbed her little head, lay flat on the bed to organize his thoughts, and said casually, "What is it?"
"This is it."
The little girl got up, her cute little face was quite serious, and she said seriously: "Look!"
"UA..."
A strange monosyllable came out of her mouth, and then a group of bright lights burst out on her fingertips.
Moment!
Sauron suffered.
Rewinding the time to a second ago, Sauron turned his head when he heard the little girl's words, and then the sudden burst of bright light dazzled his eyes, and his eyes could be said to be completely white.
It's like being hit by a flash bomb!
"Flash?"
Sauron closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead. It took him a while to recover, and he asked incredulously, "Why do you suddenly know spells?"
wrong!
This should be Luminescence.
The flash technique is an enhanced version of the light technique, an extra syllable is required to cast the spell.
The memory of the past is still there, and Sauron knows a lot about low-level tricks, so he quickly overturned the previous judgment.
But these are not important!
The important thing is why Vivienne can cast spells all of a sudden
Even the most low-level tricks seem to take a long time to memorize and understand, right? She had only been separated from him for two days, how could she have mastered the spell all at once
The little girl's expression also looked very bewildered, and she replied after hearing the words: "I don't know too well."
"I saw An Yali's sister used it once that day, so I tried it out of curiosity, but I didn't expect it to succeed all at once!"
Magic
Extraordinary perception? !
A look of shock appeared on Sauron's face.
Immediately, his expression was unprecedentedly serious, and he said seriously: "Did you really only watch it once?"
"Um."
Vivienne nodded slightly, wondering: "Is this spell difficult to master?"
It is more than difficult!
If talent is not enough, it is impossible for many people to learn spells in their lifetime.
Does Vivienne have 20 points of natural perception
Otherwise, how could it be possible to directly learn a level 0 magic spell? One must know that she has not been baptized yet, let alone believed in any gods? !
"Sit down."
Sauron sat up with a serious expression, and then asked Vivian to sit upright.
He stretched out a hand, waved it in front of the little girl's eyes, then flipped over his fingers and found a piece of Kindler, which disappeared as soon as he turned his fingers.
Sauron's fingers changed rapidly, and Kindler appeared and disappeared for a while.
Sometimes it was one, sometimes two, and finally he clenched his fist and put it in front of Vivian's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "How many Kindlers do I have in my hand?"
20 points of extraordinary agility.
Sauron's nerve reflexes far exceeded the scope of ordinary people, and the dexterity and speed of his fingers also exceeded the limit of naked eyes.
He juggles you can guess, but it's hard to see.
Ordinary people can draw afterimages by flicking their fingers back and forth. If there is a movement of bending their fingers, it will be difficult for the naked eye to catch it, let alone a top thief like Sauron, who has 20 points of extraordinary agility.
Vivienne showed a bit of embarrassment, and said with a bitter face: "Brother."
"I didn't see clearly!"
"Why don't you give me some hints?"
Sauron's expression froze, he glared at her angrily, and said seriously, "Just guess!"
"Just use your intuition to guess."
The little girl nodded with a vague understanding, tilted her head and thought for a moment, and said, "That's it."
"Then I guess there are two."
Sauron frowned slightly, and slowly opened his palm, there were actually three Kindlers inside.
"ah!?"
Vivienne was a little disappointed and said, "I guessed wrong."
Not perception.
If it is born with 20 points of extraordinary perception, it will automatically master a talent specialty of 'sixth sense', which is a very powerful ability.
It can even be said to be one of the top talents to some extent!
Not to mention the mere trick of guessing gold coins, even if there is an enemy who wants to launch a sneak attack, he can judge it intuitively.
So!
If it is not for extraordinary perception, there is only one answer!
