Chapter 9
Elves are naturally more agile and intelligent than humans, and their unique profession - archer, is tailor-made for elves.
Archers and thieves are both professions based on agility and skills, and the attributes added by upgrading are basically the same, but archers always have a slight advantage.
In terms of defense, the archer's Wind Elves' Battle Song and Light's Guidance are both used at levels 30 and 40, and are much better than the rogue's Night Elf Soft Armor and Night Speaker Set.
The weapons are even more annoying. The archer's Whisper of the Wind bow and the Honor Archery bow are simply one level higher than the rogue's Poseidon Dagger and Dragonfang Royal Blade. The Poseidon Dagger is level 27, the Whisper of the Wind is level 28, the Dragonfang Royal Blade is level 35, and the Honor is level 36.
I don't know if the designers have a grudge against thieves, so archers are born to be the thieves' guests. Our thieves have finally learned Firearms Master at level 40 and can lay mines, but the archers at level 5 can learn Mechanical Skills, which has a 25% chance of dismantling them. Although I haven't seen the archer dismantle my bombs, the official won't write the basic instructions randomly, right?
Therefore, generally speaking, since the elves have been chosen, few people would choose the profession of thief. If thief is considered a rare profession among humans, then it is basically an extinct profession among the elves.
If I were at the same level as this elf rogue in front of me, not counting the equipment, the only pure attribute I would have more than him in terms of strength. My other attributes such as physique, agility, skills and wisdom would all be less than his. And strength is the most useless attribute for a thief. I thought this thief was quite interesting just now, and now I am even more interested in him. Haha, I thought my choice of rogue was unpopular enough, but he is even more "unpopular" than me, so I might as well choose the elf rogue.
I didn't dare to chase him too close, because I couldn't figure out if he had any lucky equipment, and if so, how much luck it had? I wasn't worried that I couldn't beat him, but I was afraid that he would try his best to get close to me and use the stealing skill. It's better to be safe than sorry. I would be sad if I accidentally lost any of the top-quality items on me. The assassination crossbow in my hand couldn't guarantee that I could knock him down before he got close to me. After all, people are not rhinoceros monsters. People at least know how to use medicine, right?
However, the level gap between us was really too big. Even if I tried to keep a distance as carefully as possible, I could still chase him for a while and then shoot him with a crossbow, making it impossible for him to run away or fight back. He should know that my level is very high and those lightning arrays are not something that any thief can set up nowadays. He lacks the courage to turn around and fight desperately. Because of theft not long ago, his seniority value has turned red, and he may drop several items if he dies. Seeing his hesitant look, I am more certain that he has good things on him.
After running around like this for a long time, I was getting annoyed. Why should I be afraid of a thief who is not even level 40? I have 4 points of luck, so my level is probably nearly twice as high as his. I think I have a problem with being a thief. Thieves are naturally timid and suspicious. It's an occupational disease.
Impatiently putting away the crossbow, I started to speed up and chase him. When he saw me speeding up, he got a little scared and ran for his life. He knew very well that I was higher level and if I got close to him, he would suffer a loss.
Although the distance was getting closer, it didn't happen instantly. He and I were almost running into the pass of Qilian Mountains, one after the other.
From a distance, two people were walking towards us. After seeing who they were, the duo who were performing " Speed " yelled in unison.
"Qianshan, save me!"
"Sister A Zi, stop him!"
Together with the bewildered archers and Taoist priests on the opposite side, the four of us were stunned, and the elf thief and I stopped at the same time involuntarily.
"What's going on?" Sister A Zi asked first. She is considered a "leader" here.
"Yes, Gao Lin, how did you get through the sealed door? And you were chased by the Rose's military officer?" The elf next to my sister recognized the regiment emblem on me and asked the panting elf thief who was chased by me.
Before the thief and I could open our mouths, we heard the sound of horse hooves behind us and the deep, loud voice of Brother Yun came from afar.
"Okay, we've blocked it. Look where that little thief is running to. Wife, I'll help you vent your anger later..." Brother Yun is really a model husband. He always remembers his wife even when fighting.
"Okay, husband, you will use Santana to step on him later..." It turned out that my sister-in-law was also here. I forgot that knight couples could happily "ride together". Santana was the fat war horse in their family. I always believed that if it had two arms and could carry a mop, people would believe it if it pretended to be the son of the Beast God.
"Haha, Gao Lin, what on earth have you done? You actually let three of the five leaders of the Rose Group surround you?" The archer was surprised and amused. He was going to apply to join the group at the Rose Garden, but one of the applicants was chased like a rabbit. This is really humorous.
Brother Yun and his wife also arrived at the scene. Seeing that the archer seemed to know the elf thief, they did not attack him immediately. However, the eldest sister-in-law pulled out Qingshuang. It seemed that one explanation was not good and blood would flow ten steps away.
"Ha, ha, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I heard Qianshan introduce us to a great knight group, so I was a little itchy and wanted to see it, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this, hehe, Rose is really a hidden dragon, ah, ah hahaha, ha..." The elf thief named Gao Lin looked at the angry sister-in-law and Santana who was snorting, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Not to mention being stepped on by that fat horse, even being hit by it would be half dead. Is this a horse? It's like a rhinoceros without horns.
I looked at this elf with amusement. I had just used the identification technique to test it. This Gao Lin is level 33. He and the archer Qianshan Muxue who is level 41 over there should be one of the elves that Big Brother mentioned yesterday who wanted to join the Rose.
Gao Lin's hands moved slightly a few times, and I knew he was using identification skills on my sister and me, but it would be strange if he could get any results, as my sister and I were more than ten levels higher than him.
Sure enough, after trying a few times, his face turned a little paler. He was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that I was so much taller than him. If I attacked him at close range at the beginning, he would have no chance of running away.
I guess this elf thief may think that Rose is not very famous and that it is a waste of talent for him to join. But you can't just refuse a recommendation from a good friend, right? Compared to those large knight orders with tens of thousands of people, Rose, which only has a few hundred people, is indeed a little unknown.
Therefore, he was somewhat unwilling to accept the fact and wanted to come to Rose to "show his face" to test the strength of the Rose Knights. There was also some intention of showing off. After all, thieves of his level were rare among the human race.
It was fine at the beginning. He had a lot of fun in the rose garden. Relying on his high agility and high skills, he made fun of some beautiful "MMs". However, after he was almost killed by a bomb accidentally, he found that the outside of this small village was not as easy as it seemed.
No wonder those girls stopped chasing him when they saw him leaving the village. He originally thought the messy "warning signs" outside the village were someone's prank, but he didn't expect it to be real. This small knight group actually has a high-level thief who is a master of firearms.
Later, the eldest brother and his wife came and quickly organized people to block him outside the village. He used the stealing skill too much, and his achievements were as brilliant as his failures. Unknowingly, his seniority value had turned red. Now, the NPC guards at the entrance of the village began to "take care" of him. He couldn't enter the village at all, but he didn't give up. Since his seniority value was red, he continued to harass outside the village, wanting to confirm how many masters Qiangwei had.
When Gao Lin finally saw me , he felt that he had to run away. He knew from my actions that I was the thief who knew how to plant the bomb. Although he was very confident, he also knew that he could never beat a high-level thief above level 40, so the scene mentioned above happened.
After listening to Gao Lin's explanation and the eldest brother and his wife's supplement, the elder sister couldn't help but feel a little jealous of this thief. This thief was really capable. He slipped through the sealed gate in the central part of Qilian Mountain by himself. Not only was he not strangled to death by the monster halfway, he was also energetic enough to make his own territory a mess. It was really admirable.
However, no matter how much I admire him, letting him join the group would not only make me lose face, but would also easily cause dissatisfaction among the old members. This matter is really not easy to handle.
"Qianshan, I originally welcomed your joining, but Gao Lin's interference will surely make many people dissatisfied. As a leader, I cannot ignore the opinions of the majority of members. Moreover, Gao Lin's behavior is obviously a provocation to Qiangwei. My responsibility also makes me unable to remain indifferent to this matter. Now, I want to hear your opinion."
The sister didn't say anything to Gao Lin, but turned to Qianshan Muxue, who was obviously the leader, for advice.
"Gao Lin, what do you say?" Qianshan Muxue was also having a headache. This matter was a bit too much, but he was his good friend, what could he say?
"Hey, I did this, Qianshan, don't make it difficult for me. Boss, I admit my mistake. First of all, I'll give you fifteen magic stones as an apology. Then, captain, you can do whatever you think. I accept it." Gao Lin was very honest. He took out fifteen magic stones worth three hundred gold coins at a time. He admitted his mistake cleanly and his attitude was generous and sincere, which made the four Rose cadres present feel good about him.
"The magic stone is no longer needed. Come back with us and apologize to the members you fooled. Let them decide what to do. As long as you are sincere, I think they won't make things difficult for you." This time, it was the eldest sister-in-law who forgave him first. My sister and I didn't care. He didn't fool us. Big Brother Yun was determined to go with his wife, so as long as the eldest sister-in-law forgave him, our Rose executives wouldn't make things difficult for him.
We returned to the Rose Garden and gathered all the online members through the team channel. We explained the causes and consequences of the incident in detail and asked for everyone's opinions. It was then that we saw how good Gao Lin's communication skills were. He first sincerely apologized to everyone, then said that he would accept everyone's punishment, and donated five magic stones as funds for the team. In front of everyone, the crybaby Jasmine, who was hit by his arrow, presented a level 30 Yin-Yang Taoist uniform with defense +1 as an apology.
There were many girls in the Rose Group, most of them were easy to please, and Gao Lin was an elf, so of course he was not bad looking, eloquent and generous, so it was easy for them to accept him. However, there were exceptions to everything, and the cat, who was quite like a sister, took the opportunity to give him a magic stone and a scarlet belt with 18th level wisdom +1.
As a result, I was the most unlucky one in the end. I spent a long time cleaning up the things that Gao Lin threw into the minefield, because only the original maker would not detonate his own bomb. So I threatened Gao Lin that if he didn't tell me whether he had any luck and how much luck he had, I wouldn't mind using the theft technique to "manually" check it myself. Moreover, I told him clearly that I had a four-point luck bonus.
As soon as Gao Lin saw that I was likely to turn a noun into a verb, I immediately got the information .
It turned out that he really had two points of luck bonus. He didn't tell me what equipment it was and I didn't ask. This is the tacit rule of the Magic Flag thieves. The equipment level of others is not stated explicitly and even if it is stated, it may not be true. If you want to know, just rely on your own ability.
