Chapter 167: Road thief

Under the leadership of the hunter, Soga finally reached the border city of the Kaya Empire, the City of Mori, and in the grocery store, successfully bought a map of the Kaya country, but what made Soga wryly was He couldn't use the map. The map of the Kaya Empire and the map of the Holy Light Empire are different. Whether it is markers, symbols, or map colors, they are completely different.
The Kaya Empire, the land area is the largest of the six kingdoms, as large as ten Holy Light Empires. The dense lines on the map make it unthinkable. The entire map can only express the approximate orientation between the cities. , There is no substantial route to choose from.
The Holy Light Empire is relatively small and the map is very detailed. If you want to reach from place A to place B, then from the map, you can find almost all the main passages between the two places. Due to the small area of ​​the country, the map is naturally drawn. Careful, it is much more convenient to view.
However, the Kaya Empire is different. The land area is more than ten times larger than the Holy Light. If you want to reach from place A to place B, you can only explore the road by yourself. The map only shows the approximate locations of the two places AB, but it is not drawn at all. There is no way to draw the route. If it is all drawn, the whole map will be lumped together.
Looking at the map in his hand, Soga was crying without tears. You know ... there may be only a centimeter on the map, but in fact, it may be thousands of miles away. Between these two points, there are mountains and rivers, there are Rivers, forests, and swamps are not accessible by walking.
In this world, rivers may be relatively easy to cross, but mountains and rivers are difficult to climb, because mountains usually have powerful World of Warcraft. As for the forest, it is almost impossible for a single person to pass. The forest is the world of Warcraft. No bones will be eaten.
As for the swamp, it is a death trap, and there are countless World of Warcraft, which is more terrifying than the World of Warcraft Forest. It can be said that the mountains, forests, and swamps are all insurmountable barriers for Soga.
"Guide ..." Yes, Soga knew that he needed a guide, a guide who could lead him through the Kaya Empire and march toward the great business road, but how easy was it to find this guide?
The Kaya Empire is indeed very large, and the land area is ten times that of the Holy Light. However, through books, Soga learned that Kaya is just a small unknown country in the world. As for the Holy Light, it is even smaller. To the extent that it is not found on the map, it is said that ... Kaya is only the size of a province in a large country, and there are at least dozens of large countries in the same province.
Looking blankly at the map in his hand, Soga suddenly realized that what he needed was a guide, but it was not just a guide to the Kaya Empire. What he needed was a guide that could guide him through great business roads. What he needed Is a great guide who is extremely familiar with all countries in the world, a companion on the journey!
Such a guide still exists in this world. In fact, treasure hunters are the best guides. Treasure hunters have no national borders. Wherever there are treasures, they will be there, especially the treasure hunter family. With detailed maps of the countries in the world, and these maps are drawn by themselves, so long as there is an experienced treasure hunter leading, Soga's guidance problem is successfully resolved.
Farewell to the hunter who led the way, Soga rushed to the thieves' union directly. In this world, no matter which country, he also has the thieves' union. In fact, the thieves' unions in the world are all in the same system. Only different branches of the union.
The reason why I want to go to the thief union is that although the treasure hunter is called a hunter, in fact, it is only a branch of the thief, and belongs to the profession of the thief, not the hunter.
From the outside, the Thieves' Union looks like a tall and shabby double-storeyed wooden house. In view of the hidden features of the thieves, the style of the building is not exaggerated at all, and it seems that it is just a civilian residence.
Not only the appearance, but also the concealed character, the interior of the thieves' union is also very special. The dim yellow chandeliers hanging in the old wooden houses are not to point out the bright, but that sentence, concealed ...
The wooden house is full of round tables and chairs. There are blackboards hanging on the surrounding walls, and the door is directly opposite the long counter. That's right ... In fact, the burglar union is a pub, everyone can come in. Have a drink, but everyone knows that the tavern is just a disguise. The real function here is that the thieves' union accepts and handles everything related to thieves.
Entering the thieves' union, Soga found a dark corner and sat down. According to the records in the books, in such corners, more powerful thieves are usually gathered. The more powerful the thieves, the more you must pay attention to hiding. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy for his enemies to find him?
Moreover, the reason why I chose the corner is because this is the distribution center of the gossip. I want to hear the secrets of the thief world and I want to overhear the secrets. There is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing this place. Generally speaking, humans are talking When it comes to secret things, I prefer to choose a dark and remote place.
Asked for a glass of gin, Soga snorted softly. On the surface, it seemed that he was enjoying the mellow taste of wine, but in fact, Soga's full energy, but all radiated, listening to the conversation in the corner sound.
After listening for a long time, although Soga heard a lot of top-secret news, but he wanted to hear the news, but no one was talking about it. After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, Soga finally couldn't sit still. He didn't have time to It's a waste here. Since we can't defend ourselves, we can only take the initiative.
Asked for a glass of gin again, Soga stood up holding the glass, glanced around, and walked towards the round table by the window with a smile on her face.
With the horrible gaze of the four thieves around the round table, Soga sat on the empty seat with a smile and saw this scene. One of the thieves said suddenly: "Hey! Sir, don't we seem to know?"
"Hehe ..." Glancing at each other with a smile, Soga calmly said, "Isn't this person starting from not knowing, gradually developing to know, and then becoming friends?"
Speaking of this, Soga turned around and said to the bar's hospitality: "Give me four more gins, and I'll invite these friends for a few drinks!"
After hearing Soga's words, the four thieves were stunned first, but then they laughed. Such things often happen in the tavern. They have understood that Soga must have something to ask them. This is also One of the main functions of the thieves' union is to ask the thieves in the tavern to drink, and you can ask them about the news, of course ... if the news is more valuable, it will also charge money.
Between thoughts, four big glasses of gin were sent up, and the four thieves were not polite, and they picked up the wine glasses and poured them in large mouths. It was rare to treat them, and they invited such a valuable wine. I'm really sorry to order.
I drank half a cup at a time, and the four thieves dropped their glasses. At the same time, a relatively old thief flushed his face and said, "Well, this friend, if you have any questions, you can start asking . "
Looking around for a week, Soga didn't cover up much, nodded with a smile: "I want to ask, who in the Kaya Empire knows more about the countries in the world, I need a guide, one that can guide me in the great business A guide on the way! "
After listening to Suga's question, a few thieves were stunned, and then the older thief shook his head and said, "It's another little guy who doesn't know the heights and heights of the land. Is the great business road so easy to make?"
"Oh ..." With a sigh, the older thief continued: "However, I respect your decision anyway, and ... now that I have drank your wine, I have an obligation to tell you the answer."
Having said that, the older thief suddenly picked up the wine glass, poured all the gin in the glass into his throat, and then took a sigh of breath: "You can look around the green city, there is a mysterious treasure hunter probably Can meet your needs! His name is-Nicole! "
Because he did not know the road, Soga could only hire the four thieves. Under the leadership of the four thieves, Soga rushed all the way to the Green City, a seat in the middle of the jungle, but an extremely prosperous city.
After arriving at the Greentown Thieves' Union, the four thieves and Soga drank again, and then left. As for finding Nicole, it was Soga's business. The four thieves only knew such a person, and I don't know where she lived and where she is now. In fact, the whereabouts of a thief is almost unmanageable. You can find it, but luck is needed.
I searched for a few days, but I asked many people, but there was still no detailed information. Everyone knew Nicole, and she was sure that she lived in the Green City. But where was she now, but no one knew.
However, the efforts over the past few days have not been in vain after all. From the mouth of many thieves, Soga still knows a lot of news. Nicole is a heir to a family of treasure hunters who has passed down the millennium. Everyone knows her because of her. How powerful, just because Nicole's ancestors had appeared ten legendary treasure hunters and one epic treasure hunter.
On average every 100 years, a legendary treasure hunter will inevitably appear in the Nicole family. Every thousand years, there will be an epic treasure hunter. Although their family is now declining, but ... The accumulated knowledge is still there.
For thousands of years, ten legendary treasure hunters and one epic treasure hunter, what does this mean? That's right ... this means that there are ten ancestors of the Nicole family who once successfully crossed the great business road, and one ancestor even dominated the great business road, so the maps of the world's countries are certainly complete and unimaginable. of.
From the mouth of everyone, Soga learned that Nicole is the last generation and last person of this family. Her parents have already died. Nicole's current whereabouts are a mystery, but not long ago, someone was in Emerald Green. Cheng has seen her, so if you are lucky, you can still find her.
Finally, after a few days of inquiries, Soga understood that it would be difficult to find Nicole if he was waiting for the rabbit. Although the Green City is very large, if you try your luck outside, it seems that the chance is even greater.
Between thoughts, Soga left the thief tavern and walked down the bluestone street towards the downtown area. Looking at the sketch of Nicole in his hand, he muttered the touching name. Soga always felt as if he was I've seen her everywhere, even her name.
"Damn it, grab her! She stole my wallet ..." As he walked down, an angry roar came from the front.
Suddenly looking up, when looking to the opposite side, I saw a strong man in black, who was turning across the street like a lightning, and ran over towards Soga. Only in a blink of an eye, the masked man in black had rushed to the rope. In front of him.
Facing the rushing figure, Soga knew very well that this was the thief who stole the wallet, but ... this matter had nothing to do with him. Soga didn't want to mess with it, as long as it wasn't him who stole it. Wallet, he didn't bother to care about it.
Between thoughts, the man in black accelerated sharply and rushed towards Soga. Seeing this, Soga subconsciously stepped out of Lingbo's footwork, the body's weird twisting room, wanted to avoid, give The other side gave way.
However, Soga made a big mistake. You know ... Lingbo's footwork is to use fake moves to deceive the enemy's brain and nerves. It obviously looks to the left, but the body moves to the right, looking at the Walking forward, the body is moving backwards, making it impossible to hit the target.
However, this set of footwork is effective only when used in battle. It is only when the enemy works hard to attack you. But now, both Soga and the black thief want to avoid each other. Something went wrong.
Seeing Soga's body moving to the right, the thief in black glanced at Soga gratefully, and he was going to cross Soga ’s left side, but do n’t forget that Soga ’s Limbo footwork is reversed. See Seems to be left, in fact, the body moves to the right.
"Bang!" In the dull sound, the black thief slammed into Soga's body. For a time, the two turned into a gourd at the same time. Under the huge momentum, the two fell to the ground at the same time, and the wolverine rolled over. stand up.
"Hurry ... hold him! He has fallen down, catch up!" Just after the tumbling was over, an angry roar came from the corner of the street. The next moment ... a dozen figures quickly turned around the street and headed towards Soga. And the masked thief in black rushed over.
Angrily glanced at Soga, the thief in black didn't have time to bother with soga, and he got up hard, preparing to continue to escape, but as soon as he stood upright, the thief in the black shivered at his feet and fell down again. He was obviously severely injured.
In such a delay, the enemy has arrived, and dozens of people have surrounded Sorga and the masked thieves, and then ... A rich fat man came over with a look of shame, and his obese hands turned towards him. Pointing at the masked thief, he said angrily: "Beat me, fight to the death, even dare to steal my money, I don't know if I live or die!"
After hearing the words of the fat man, dozens of warriors around him pulled out weapons at the same time and forced them towards the black thief. Seeing this scene, Soga frowned. In Soga's view, the thief stole money. This is Naturally, since there is a profession of thieves, then theft is normal. Now that you have been caught, you have to return your wallet. How about killing someone?
Between thoughts, the battle had begun. Under the siege of more than a dozen warriors, the masked thief showed unusually flexible skills. His body was dodging quickly in a small space. For a time, she was successfully avoided. More than a dozen attacks.
However, there are too many enemies, the encirclement is too small, and the space available for her to hide is really small and pathetic. After barely avoiding a few attacks, the black thief finally failed to escape again, and suffered several times in a row. After a heavy blow, he fell to the ground with blood, shaking violently, but the eyes that were exposed outside were still shining with unyielding light.
"Damn ..." cursed, and the fat man cruelly said, "Take him up, and dare to steal my money. I must chop his hand off!"
After hearing the words of the fat man, several warriors walked over to prepare to grab the masked thief and cut off his hands. At this time, a cold voice sounded: "Enough! Do not go too far, almost That's it! "
At the sound of this, everyone stopped, turned his head in doubt, and looked in the direction of the sound. With everyone's attention, Soga slowly climbed up from the ground. Soga's blue magic robe was covered with dust, and even his face was dirty.
Looking at Soga's embarrassment, everyone obviously didn't take him to heart and was hit by a thief like this. What can be a powerful role? Although he is a mage, at such a close distance, no matter how powerful a mage is, he is not an opponent of so many samurai!
Between thoughts, the fat man dragged and said, "Oh! You are the guy who just stopped the thief for me, but ... though, you have no right to organize me to punish this thief!"
At this point, the fat man suddenly turned his head, and Sen Han said, "What are you waiting for? I said, set me up with this thief, chop off his hands, so that he can never steal again!"
After hearing the words of the fat man, several warriors waved their weapons again and forced the black thief lying on the ground. Facing several warriors, the black thief closed his eyes in despair, at such a close distance It is impossible for a thief to confront the samurai.
"His ..." Seeing the black thief about to be caught, in a slight whistling sound, a cold chill quickly swept through all the samurai's bodies, feeling this powerful magic wave, all warriors were on alert Turned around and pointed the weapon in the direction of the cold.
Although the distance is very close, all warriors are very clear. Once a mage has let his magic work out, the consequences are very serious. The destructive power of the mage is far above that of the samurai. If they let it go, that ’s tantamount to court death.
