Invincible Hero of Necromancer Chapter 29: The Thieves Guild 1
Generally, thieves don't patronize someone dressed like Rhodes.
The thieves target either the obviously rough-hearted or the wealthy businessman. Rhodes' dressing as a spellcaster can often dissuade thieves from their desire to steal.
But there are such thieves who try to steal from Rhodes. It is said to be theft, but it is actually a temptation of Rhodes by the forces in the city. According to Rhodes' response to the temptation, there will be different follow-ups.
Rhodes stood on the spot without any movement, watching the thief's body fall towards him, as if waiting for the thief's hand to reach his pocket.
Seeing that the target did not move, the thief was secretly delighted, and he was reluctant to do this kind of task of testing the target. In previous temptation missions, a person who was not careful would offend the target of the temptation, but the target in front of him did not look very good. Although he was dressed as a spellcaster, he had no defense against such a thing. He bumped into him by himself. In an instant, the valuable items on his body can be taken away.
The thief's reach was much quicker when he thought that whatever he got during the temptation was his own. The person in front of him is likely to be an inexperienced spellcaster. Once he succeeds, the magic items on his body can be sold for a high price.
Suddenly, the vigilance brought by years of burglary career made the thief feel something. The thief wanted to pull back, but it was too late.
The thief was horrified to see that just as he was trying to retract his hand back, a hand with sharp claws quickly protruded from the side, and the speed far exceeded his own movements.
The hand with claws accurately caught the thief's hand. The thief was about to resist when a burst of pain came, and half of his palm fell to the ground.
For a moment, the pain overwhelmed the thief's consciousness. The thief's face was full of fear, knowing that this time the temptation had hit a hard stubble.
The blood dripped on the ground, and the thief wanted to escape to the rear, but just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly realized that the caster in front of him had never made a move.
From the time the thief tried to fall towards Rhodes, Rhodes did nothing but looked at the thief in front of him. Abolishing the thief's hand is only a claw of the vampire next to him.
The strong premonition of death lets the thief know that if he runs away to the rear, the caster in front of him will release a magic spell and kill him.
Resisting the fear and pain, the thief knelt directly on the ground, not daring to look up at the black-robed spellcaster in front of him, but quickly told a series of reasons and begged Rhodes for mercy.
Rhode did not make it difficult for him, and asked him directly:
"Where is the Thieves Guild in this city?"
The thief explained the direction to Rhode in a low voice, and Rhode then asked:
"Where is the Freelance Chamber of Commerce?"
After getting the answer from the thief, Rhodes ignored him. Rhodes bypassed the thief kneeling on the ground, and at the same time controlled the vampire through his mental imprint, allowing him to suppress his bloodthirsty desire and move towards the Thieves Guild that the thief was referring to.
The thief kneeling on the spot was full of remorse. Even if he stopped the bleeding wound, he would never lose the hand that was best at stealing. His career as a thief could be said to be over.
Rhodes, who was advancing, clearly felt the changes in the eyes around him.
As soon as he entered the city, Rhodes felt the gazes around him observing him, wanting to know his origin, purpose... and strength.
Perhaps it was the negative impact of the identity of the Necromancer. Rhode did not believe that everyone who entered the city for the first time would be tempted by this.
During the thief's probing process, the vampire instantly abolished one of the thief's hands with just one blow. This ruthless approach and high strength undoubtedly deterred the hidden observers around. In addition, in this process, Rhodes himself did not make any shots at all, and his unfathomable strength made the people who were originally watching put a dangerous mark on Rhodes and his party.
Rhode did not ask which party the thief was trying to come from. Whether it was the various forces in the city or the thieves' guild, it was not important to Rhode. Rhode obviously did not intend to spend energy on this kind of thing. more important purpose.
Leading the vampire, Rhodes followed the direction of the thief and came to the door of a building.
Rhodes looked into the building. The light inside was dim, with only a few oil lamps providing illumination, but it was still brighter than the tomb where Rhodes was previously.
The inside of the building is crowded but silent, and even conversations take place in low voices. Under the illumination of the lights, the silhouettes of people swayed, bringing a special sense of ritual to the building.
After seeing the internal scene, Rhode knew that the thief did not lie in order to survive. This is where he came, the Thieves Guild.
As soon as Rhode entered, a waiter dressed in a black robe stepped forward to inquire about his purpose.
The same is to obtain information~IndoMTL.com~ Unlike a noisy place like a tavern, the Thieves Guild has always regarded information as a commodity. Whether it is selling intelligence or obtaining intelligence, there are dedicated locations.
Rhodes indicated to the waiter his intention to ask for information. The waiter whispered to Rhodes to follow him, and then led them inside.
Under the leadership of the waiter, Rhodes and the vampire passed through the hall of the Thieves Guild and came to the door of a room.
The waiter knocked on the door twice, then opened the door, and Rhodes and the vampire entered.
Rhodes looked into the room. This was a soundproof and quiet room for inquiring about news. There was a long table in the quiet room. The light source in the quiet room comes from the candlesticks placed at both ends of the table, illuminating the objects placed on the table.
Through the light of the candle, Rhodes saw that quill pens were placed on both ends of the table, and a piece of parchment was placed in the middle.
Across the table sat an old man, also dressed in a hood, a black face towel surrounded his face, and there were deep wrinkles next to the exposed eye sockets. His wrinkled hands were placed on the table, indicating to Rhodes that he had no weapons, and he was looking at Rhodes quietly at the moment.
Rhodes understands that based on what he knew about the Thieves Guild in his previous life, as far as the Thieves Guild in this town is concerned, this is already a quiet room inquiry of the highest standard.
Rhodes guessed that the news of his attack on the thief had reached the thieves guild, so he would treat him with the highest standard of hospitality at this moment.
Perhaps, the previous trial was arranged by the Thieves Guild.
Without thinking about these questions, Rhodes sat on the chair in front of the table, while the vampire stood aside.
The old man opposite raised a hand that had been on the table and motioned Rhodes to write down his question on the paper.
