A humble but cozy breakfast.

When Sauron was about to go out, Vivian immediately stood up silently, tidying up his sleeves with small hands, and then stood on tiptoe on the stool and fixed the collar for him. Without too many words, because they already had a tacit understanding, Sauron touched her little head lightly, and then walked out of the low shed.

"Brother...Brother!..."

When Sauron's figure left, Vivian shrank slightly and locked the door tightly.

My brother used to go out like this when he had business, but she was not afraid at all, because there was Heath by her side, and even if a bad guy broke in, there was an old dog to protect her. There have been many burglaries in the slums, and now that Heath has left forever, she is alone in the room, and she is always a little scared.

In the end.

After all, she was only a little girl who was only eight years old.

All along, she has no sense of security, afraid of the dark, lonely and alone.

But she couldn't tell Sauron.

Because Sauron also has very important things, he needs to get the money back, and there is not much food at home.

She didn't want to be a burden to her brother.

Even though there were few things she could do now, the little girl still felt that she should not worry Sauron.

"Vivian."

The little girl held the broom tightly in her hand and whispered, "You have to learn to be strong!"

"You have to learn to take care of yourself."

"Brother has already woken up, and no one dares to come to disturb him again."

"They are all afraid of brother!"

Dock area.

This is the most densely populated part of Amber City, and the entire city's economy is supported by a river of agate.

Most of the men in the slums work here as coolies. The endless boats of the Manau River transport the goods from various places, and then a lot of labor is required to carry them. This is also the place where the gang struggles are the most intense. There are more than a dozen gangs, large and small, seeking a living here. Whether it is stealing property, deducting goods, or extorting protection fees, many gangs can always find a way to make money here.

"That's Sauron?!"

A tall, thin man glanced at Sauron who was walking in the distance, and immediately whispered an order to the person beside him, then walked over and said, "Sauron."

"The boss wants to see you!"

Sauron looked up at the man in front of him, and after thinking about it, he remembered who he was, a guy named Gareth.

He is a good fighter.

I used to be an adventurer with others for a while, but I didn't expect to encounter a group of goblins and gnolls shortly after leaving Amber City. Gnolls are very dangerous creatures, they travel in packs and often sneak up on adventurers in the middle of the night. The entire team of adventurers died, and he managed to escape, but one arm was seriously injured. Later, he joined a local gang, and never thought of becoming a powerful adventurer to win amazing wealth and prestige.

If calculated according to the occupation template, he should be a level 10 civilian/level 3 warrior.

Weaker than the guards of Onyx City!

"Boss?"

Sauron stared at him and shook his head: "The boss is dead."

"Killed by that wizard."

A mission that should not have been accepted at all, not only killed Sauron, but also killed most of the core members of the gang.

Are wizards that easy to mess with?

The wizards in this world who are qualified to act alone are all above the first rank, and they are at least 10th-level scholars/5th-level wizards when they are replaced by professional templates.

Not to mention a mere gang, even a regular army might not be able to beat him.

Sauron could not be more clear about the terrifying aspects of wizards above the first rank. If they weren't too fragile, they would be the most powerful profession.

The crazy period of turmoil in this world is about to begin, not to mention the mere high-level professionals, even the legendary realm may be wiped out like chickens and dogs.

He has no interest in wasting time with a local gang.

"Sauron."

Gareth glanced at him silently, and said slowly, "Cole has become the new boss."

"It's up to you whether you want to see him or not."

"Cole is not a good talker."

Sauron was an excellent thief, and no gang would easily give up such a source of money.

It's good to say that he was unconscious before, after all, no one would pay attention to a guy who was dying, but now that he is awake, he naturally wants to find a way to win him over.

Sauron heard the faint threat, and his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a killing intent!

He is a thief.

Rogues are also assassins in the shadows, and they are more dangerous than anyone.

"I'll decide for myself."

Sauron ignored Garis who was beside him and walked towards the dock area.

He still has work to do!

The former Sauron seemed a little cowardly in the gang because he cared about Vivian, and every time he stole a large part of it, he would be exploited, and the rest was almost enough for the two of them. The main reason was that the original Sauron had not received formal combat training. Even if he had an agility value of over 18 points, his combat power was far less than that of a fighter who had received formal training. But the current Sauron is not the same, the man in front of him will definitely not be able to hold three moves in his hands!

………………

This inconspicuous warehouse, which stores a lot of goods, is a very common place in the dock area.

A shadow approached silently.

Sauron carefully avoided the guards outside, who were just strong ordinary people, and he quickly found a box after entering.

It was a locked box with more valuable goods in it.

He took out a hooked wire from his pocket, and at the moment he only had the most rudimentary lock-picking tool on him.

Sauron reached in cautiously, and then his fingers turned flexibly.

Ding!

Click!

After a while, the lock on the box was quickly picked.

A row of data emerges:

"Successful lock picking!"

"Your thief skills have been improved, and you have gained 15 points of professional experience."

When Sauron saw the data that appeared in front of him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It looks like the way to get professional experience is still there.

The rogue is not a powerful combat class in the early stage, it is not as strong as a warrior, and it cannot master special abilities like a paladin. Adventure and killing in the wild are very dangerous for thieves. Whether it is low-level kobolds or goblins, they appear in groups, many of which have a keen sense of smell, and it is easy to detect low-level thieves who are sneaking. So at the very beginning, the only way for thieves to improve their strength level is to pick locks and disarm traps.

This is the safest way!

Before the occupation level is raised to level 5, thieves can gain experience by picking locks. Before the occupation level is raised to level 10, disarming traps can still get a lot of occupational experience.

As for the back, then only some special magic locks and advanced traps are useful!

Ordinary locks and traps can no longer improve thieves skills.

Squeak!

Sauron gently opened the box, which contained some tea bricks. He did not move the goods, but continued to use the ordinary box.

Picking the same lock twice is impossible to gain professional experience. To gain experience, you must meet the conditions for improving your thief's skills. The dock has a lot of these locked chests, enough to raise his rogue level a bit.

Pry open two or three boxes in a row.

Sauron's footsteps suddenly stopped in front of a door. He carefully observed the ground and then took a deep breath.

pat!

He jumped up gently and landed on an oak barrel, then stretched out his fingers to pinch an inconspicuous silk thread, lifted the silk thread to fix it and wrapped it around a nail, then cut the other end with a dagger, and then quickly An alarm device was removed. This is a simple trap. If the thread is accidentally broken, the other end of the trap will sound an alarm bell.

At that time, there were many thieves who suffered losses and were caught and directly beaten to become crippled!

The world of Clash of the Gods is brutal.

Those crippled thieves had no one to treat them, and they couldn't afford the expensive treatment. Eventually, they became completely disabled and had to die and start over.

It is extremely difficult to rise from a low-level professional to the legendary realm!

Many people fell over and over again.

This not only requires strength, but luck is also a very important part!

Sauron waited quietly, carefully observing the ground, looking for possible traps.

one such warehouse.

If an alarm trap is installed, there cannot be only one, there must be another.

There might be something valuable in there.

really!

Sauron quickly noticed the strangeness under the plank. He carefully used the dagger to pry it up, holding it firmly with his fingers, not daring to tremble at all.

There is an even more dangerous trap below!

If it is touched, there will be flying knives shooting out from both sides, which is very likely to kill people on the spot!

Click.

Sauron grabbed the trigger with a dagger, then twisted it aside, two flying knives shot out from the top of his head and nailed it to the wall next to him.

A row of data emerges:

"Successfully disarmed the trap."

"Your thief skills have been improved, and you have gained 50 professional experience."

"Successfully disarmed the trap."

"Your thief skills have been improved, and you have gained 120 professional experience."

call.

Sauron breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed a little, and murmured, "Sure enough, I have more experience in dismantling traps!"

"But it's also dangerous."

After removing two traps in a row, plus the professional experience gained from picking locks at the beginning, Sauron finally collected 200 experience points and chose to upgrade his thief level without hesitation.

"The thief profession has been upgraded to level 2."

"Acquire 23 (Agility 19 + (Intelligence 18-10) * 0.5) skill points, and increase HP by 9 points (Professional HP 6 + (Physical 15-10) * 0.5)."

"Gain 1 free attribute."

Compared with the skill points that can be obtained at each occupation level, it is difficult to obtain free attribute points.

You must upgrade two occupation levels to get 1 free attribute.

That is to say, the next time you get free attribute points, you must wait until Sauron upgrades the thief profession to level 4.

This free attribute can be said to be quite precious!

Sauron glanced at his attribute template, and without hesitation he assigned free attribute points to his agility points. 20 attribute points is a threshold. Below 20 attributes, it is still within the range of ordinary people, and 20 points higher than that of ordinary people. It is already equivalent to entering the ranks of superhuman beings.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the warehouse.

Sauron jumped up nimbly, his arms clinging to the roof beam, and then sneaked out quietly.

Just a little agility boost.

It is enough to allow him to perform many difficult movements that were previously impossible to complete. Whether it is the conditioned reflex of the body or the sensitivity, it has already broken through the range of ordinary people.

A man came in quickly.

He glanced at the warehouse, then his face changed slightly and he shouted loudly, and soon a group of guards with weapons poured in outside.

It seems that this warehouse will not be able to come in the future.

Since they found out that thieves have come in, they will definitely strengthen their defense in the future!
