When Sauron brought Vivian back to the slums.
He spent three coppers to buy a black bread with thick and long arms, which is the kind of black and hard bread that can be used as a weapon to attack stupid burglars, and has a lethality of 1D3. The poor in the lower class use unhulled rye to directly grind it into powder. The rough technology will make it eat wood chips and some strange things. After cooling down, it will be as hard as a mallet. It can only be cut open with a knife and soaked in water. , can barely swallow it down.
There used to be many people who entered this world and took risks because they couldn't stand such food!
This is how many players fall into the evil camp right from the start.
So was Sauron.
So he became a thief!
Maybe it's because he has come to a more real world now, or maybe it's because there is a little girl beside him, Sauron is far more calm and patient than before. He carefully cut open the black bread, soaked it in hot water, and handed it to Vivienne in front of him. He also took a bite, endured the taste like sawdust, and swallowed it silently.
It's not that he doesn't have access to money.
It's that he knows very well what kind of fate he will face if he misses and gets caught!
This is not a game after all.
And he is no longer a player. In this strange and familiar world, he must be responsible for his actions, and even more responsible for the little Vivian around him. There are many powerful professionals in Amber City. All the guards guarding the city have career templates of level 10 militiamen/level 3 fighters. Unless he strengthens the theft skill to more than 75 points, he may still be discovered.
If you are caught stealing, you will be put in jail, and you may even have an arm broken.
If the target of the theft is a nobleman!
Although there is no salt, and it can even be said that there is only an unpalatable taste, Vivienne still eats it very happily, because she is a little girl who is easily satisfied.
And she's really hungry!
As long as I have my brother by my side, everything will be fine.
The pressure of the past half month has made the little girl feel extremely exhausted, and now she just wants to be by her brother's side, quietly being an unremarkable little girl.
"I'll buy you something delicious tomorrow!"
Sauron gently stroked Vivian's little head, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, and said seriously: "Everything will be fine!"
"Um."
Vivienne nodded slightly.
If there is anyone in this world who can gain her unreserved trust, then this person must be her brother.
Because since she was three years old, this boy in front of her has sheltered her from the wind and rain!
Silently supported until now.
Vivienne still remembers that when she was very young, her brother was always injured, she couldn't do anything, she just cried in vain, and the bruised and swollen brother always comforted her, saying that everything would be fine .
Later, instead of living on the streets, they finally had a small home in a chaotic slum!
everything will get better.
The little girl who is only eight years old this year is ignorant of many things, but she knows that as long as her brother is around, he will always protect her.
That's great!
Sauron looked at Vivienne who was sleeping soundly on the bed, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She is really exhausted.
It is really hard work for a girl who is only eight years old to support herself in such a chaotic slum for half a month.
I'm afraid she hasn't had a good night's sleep in so long, has she
Sauron opened the dark compartment under the wooden plank, and took out a dagger with a cold light from it, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Those bastards who dare to play Vivian's mind should also be sent to hell!
…
The night came quietly.
It was dark in the slums, only a few sporadic places were still lit.
There is the Stove Tavern, one of the few enjoyments in the slums. Here, you can buy a large glass of poor-quality ale mixed with water for a copper deer. Although it has faded to a bird smell, it is still a rare enjoyment for many poor people in the lower class. . There is a row of low sheds next to it, and you can find a cheap brothel to have a good time as long as you spend another five copper delores. Don't expect her to be very good-looking, at best, she is a creature with breasts and butt that looks like a woman.
Outside the Stove Tavern are dark alleys.
Not many people dare to go at night, because it is an area where fringe people haunt.
The entire slum area is full of such dark alleys. Except for a small number of people, other people rarely go out at night!
There was a lot of noise in the stove tavern.
There are coolies on the docks begging for a living, there are also sullen gangsters, and there are some characters of the same religion.
What they discussed most was the recent battle between the two gangsters. Some people gloated and said that someone dared to grab Vivienne's attention. Now that Sauron woke up, someone would be in trouble.
After finishing speaking, the thin man with the scar also looked at the corner of the tavern inexplicably.
There sat two men.
It was Balas and Kanobo who wanted to sell Vivienne to Socia. One of them was limping. It was bitten by a ferocious old dog when they wanted to force the action. of.
"Walk."
Ballas cast a gloomy glance at the other people in the tavern, and then said, "Go back first."
"There is always a way to deal with Sauron."
Carobo drank up the poor quality ale in the wine glass. He was a stingy person and would not waste any.
The two had already accepted Socia's deposit a few days ago. If Vivienne couldn't be sent there by then, someone might come to chat with them soon.
Now it is impossible to stop.
Besides, Sauron has always regarded this younger sister more than his life. If two people dare to grab her attention, Sauron will definitely not let it go.
A cold wind blows in.
The people in the tavern cursed a few words, and looked back to see that Ballas and Kanobo had already walked out.
The moon is gray in the sky.
After the two of them walked out of the tavern, they couldn't help shivering. Maybe it was because they drank a lot. Ballas went out and found an alley and got into it, preparing to pour water at the corner.
This is a ghetto.
Not to mention urinating, even defecating is handled in the corner of the alley.
Balas untied his belt to drain the water, and vaguely heard the creaking sound coming from the shed next to the stove tavern, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice, speaking in the dialect of the Qibei region.
Maybe it was because of the thought of Sauron waking up, his face was very ugly!
suddenly.
He felt the hairs all over his body stand up, and vaguely saw some shadow shaking in the dark corner of the alley.
Before he could take back the guy who released the water, he reached out and touched his lower back.
There's a dagger in there!
But it was too late.
Sauron's figure appeared out of thin air in an instant, and his figure emerged from the hazy shadows, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting here.
A cold dagger pierced his back!
Immediately, a palm covered Balas's mouth, blocking his screams before dying.
Plop!
Sauron withdrew the dagger expressionlessly, and wiped off the blood on the corpse.
A row of data appeared in front of his eyes:
"The shadow hides successfully!"
"Backstab activated!"
"Successfully launched a backstab*2, causing 12 points of damage to the target!"
"Target dead!"
"Drain the target's soul energy and gain 30 killing experience points."
…
Although he is only a first-level thief, he can still cause double assassination damage when backstabbing.
An ordinary poor person only has about five health points.
With Sauron's physique as high as 15 points, he only had 12 points of health after becoming a first-level thief. A mere villain in a slum area was enough for him to kill him with one blow!
Unless it is against other professionals, Sauron is enough to easily assassinate the target.
The noise from the alley woke up Canobo, who couldn't help but shudder, and then shouted inside: "Balas?"
There was no response at all.
After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously moved closer to see what Ballas was doing.
If something is wrong, he will turn around and run away immediately!
A figure bent down on the wall, kicked its legs, and then flew out from the alley. Its agility was as high as 19 points, which was enough for Sauron to jump directly to the roof of the first floor without external force. His figure rushed out like a cheetah, grabbed Kanobo's neck for an instant, and forced his shout back. The force of the impact made him fall to the ground, and then a cold light flashed across, and the dagger cut open Kanobo's throat was then pierced into the heart from the front.
Sauron held the target tightly until the body stopped twitching, and then he stood up!
Blood all over.
He frowned and looked at the whole body, then took out the money bag from the corpse, and then took the dagger back.
The money on the two thugs is not much, the sum is only five silver delores, more than twenty copper delores, and a pack of poor-quality poison was found on Balas's body, which should be used to deal with Xi Sri Lanka's.
"The strength is roughly equivalent to that of a first-level adventurer."
Sauron looked at his palm, and then his figure gradually merged into the shadows, and he left in the direction he came from.
This is the stealth ability of thieves.
Hiding in it with the help of the power of the shadow, Sauron had already allocated all his skill points to stealth before coming. Up to 45 points of stealth can make him dim and silent in the shadow, enough to hide most of the enemies. ordinary people. If the stealth can be increased to 100 points, he can even hide in the shadows without showing any signs at all. When the stealth is increased to 150 points, he can achieve an effect similar to invisibility, even if he is standing in front of you, he will not be aware of it.
Stealth starts from 200 points, even if there is no shadow, the thief can completely disappear!
The stove tavern was still bustling with noise.
It wasn't until a drunk guy came out that people discovered the two corpses by the alley, which were already extremely cold.
No one paid attention to it, and no one pursued it.
This is a chaotic slum, and dead people have happened many times.
Someone will pick up their bodies tomorrow!
