Generally speaking, thieves do not patronize people like Rhodes.
The target of the thieves is either the obvious stubborn person or the wealthy businessman. Dressing up as a caster like Rhode often eliminates the thief's desire to steal.
But there were such thieves who tried to steal from Rhode. Saying it is theft is actually a test of Rhodes by the forces in the city, and there will be different follow-ups based on Rod’s response to the test.
Rhode stood there, without any movement, watching the thief's body fall towards himself, as if waiting for the thief's hand to reach into his pocket.
Seeing that the target had no action, the thief secretly rejoiced in his heart, and he was reluctant to do this task of testing the target. In previous temptation missions, a target that would offend the temptation accidentally, but the target in front of him did not look very good. Although he was dressed as a caster, he had no precautions against such a thing and hit himself. In an instant, he can move his valuables along.
Thinking that any items obtained during the temptation are their own, the speed of the thief reaching out is much faster. The person in front of him is likely to be an inexperienced caster. Once he succeeds, the magic items on his body can be sold for a high price.
Suddenly, the vigilance of years of burglary career made the thieves feel something. The thief wanted to take it back, but it was too late.
The thief saw in horror that while he was trying to retract his hand to the rear, a clawed hand hurriedly protruded from the side, the speed far exceeded his movements.
The clawed hand accurately caught the thief's hand. The thief was preparing to resist, and a sudden pain came and half of his palm fell to the ground.
For a time, the pain overwhelmed the thief's consciousness. The thief was terrified, knowing that this temptation had encountered a hard stubble.
The blood dripped to the ground, and the thief wanted to escape towards the back, but just when he was about to move, he suddenly realized that the caster in front of him had never shot.
Starting from the thief's attempt to fall back to Rod, Rod didn't do anything, just looked at the thief in front of him. The abolition of the thief's hand is just a claw of a vampire detective next to him.
With a strong hunch of death, let the thief know that if he escapes to the rear, the caster in front of him will release a magic spell and kill himself.
Resisting fear and pain, the thief knelt directly on the ground, dared not to look up at the black robe caster in front of him, but quickly told a series of reasons and begged Rhode for mercy.
Rhode did not bother him, and asked him directly:
"Where is the thieves' guild in this city?"
The thief whispered directions to Rod, and Rod then asked:
"Where is the Freelance Chamber of Commerce?"
After getting the answer from the thief, Rhode ignored him. Rhode bypassed the thief who was kneeling on the ground, and at the same time controlled the vampire through the spiritual imprint, allowing it to suppress the thirst for bloodthirsty, and moved in the direction of the thief's guild pointed by the thief.
The thief kneeling on the ground is full of regret, even if he stopped the bleeding wound, he will always lose the hand that is best at stealing. His career as a thief can be said to be over.
Rhodes on the move clearly felt the changes in his surroundings.
As soon as he entered the city, Rhode felt his gaze around him, wanting to know his origin, purpose... and strength.
Perhaps it was the negative impact of the identity of the Necromancer. Rod did not believe that everyone who entered the city for the first time would be subjected to this temptation.
During the thief's trial, the vampire instantly abolished the thief's hand with a single blow. This spicy practice and high strength undoubtedly shocked the hidden observers around. In addition, in this process, Rhode himself did not shoot at all, the unfathomable strength, so that the people who had originally waited and watched put a dangerous mark on Rod and his party.
Rhode did not ask which side the thieves came from. Whether it was various forces in the city or the thieves’ guild, it was not important to Rhodes. Rhode obviously did not intend to spend energy on this kind of thing, but had more important. purpose.
Leading the vampire, Rhodes came to the door of a building in the direction directed by the thief.
Rhodes looked into the building. The light inside was dim, and only a few oil lamps provided lighting, but it was still brighter than Rhodes's tomb.
There are a lot of people in the building but there is silence. Even the conversation is quiet. The lights shone and the figures shook, giving the building a special sense of ceremony.
Seeing the scene inside, Rhode knew that the thieves did not lie in order to survive, this is where he wants to come, the Thieves Guild.
As soon as Rhode entered, a waiter dressed in black robe came forward and asked for his interest.
The same is for obtaining intelligence. Unlike the noisy places such as taverns, the thieves’ guild has always regarded intelligence as a commodity. Whether it is selling intelligence or obtaining intelligence, there is a special location.
Rod showed the waiter the intention to ask for the news. The waiter whispered that Rod was following himself, and then led them towards the 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 tapped twice on the door, then opened the door, and Rhodes and the vampire entered.
Rhode looked into the room. It was a soundproof quiet room for information. A long table was placed in the quiet room. The light source in the quiet room comes from the candlesticks placed at both ends of the table to illuminate the objects placed on the table.
Through the candlelight, Rhode saw that quill pens were placed on both ends of the table, and a piece of parchment was in the middle.
On the opposite side of the table sits an old man, also dressed in a hood. A black veil surrounds his face, and there are deep wrinkles beside the exposed eye sockets. Wrinkled hands were placed on the table, and he signaled to Rhodes that he had no weapons, and was looking at Rhodes quietly at the moment.
Rhode understands that, according to his previous understanding of the Thieves Guild, as far as the current Thieves Guild in this town is concerned, this is already the highest specification quiet room inquiries.
Rhode speculated that the news that he had shot the thief before had reached the thieves' guild, so he would only use the highest standard of hospitality for himself at this moment.
Perhaps the previous temptation was arranged by the Thieves Guild.
Without thinking about these questions, Rhode sat in a chair at the table, and the vampire stood aside.
The old man on the opposite side raised a hand that was originally on the table, and instructed Rod to write his question on the paper.
