Under the leadership of the hunter, Suojia finally arrived at the forest city, the border city of the Kaya Empire, and successfully bought a map of the Kaya Kingdom from the grocery store. However, what made Suojia smile bitterly was that the map in his hand
He was looking at the map, but he couldn't use it. The map of the Kaya Empire was different from the map of the Holy Light Empire. Whether it was the marks, symbols, or the colors of the map, they were completely different.
The Kaya Empire is the largest among the six countries in terms of land area. It is as big as ten Holy Light Empires. The lines on the map are so dense that it is unimaginable. The entire map can only express the approximate directions between cities.
, there are absolutely no substantive routes to choose from.
The Holy Light Empire is relatively small, and the map is also very detailed. If you want to get from point A to point B, then from the map, you can find almost all the main passages between the two places. Since the country is small, the map is naturally more detailed.
Being detailed makes it much easier to check.
But the Kaya Empire is different. Its land area is more than ten times larger than that of Holy Light. If you want to get from point a to point b, you have to find your own way. The map only gives the approximate location of point a and point B, but there is no drawing at all.
There is no way to draw the route. If we were to draw all the routes, the whole map would be a mess.
Looking at the map in his hand, Suojia almost burst into tears. You know... there may be only one centimeter on the map, but in fact, it may be thousands of miles away. Between these two points, there are mountains and rivers, and there are mountains and rivers.
Rivers, forests, and swamps are not accessible by just walking.
In this world, rivers may be easier to cross, but mountains and rivers are difficult to climb, because there are usually powerful monsters on the mountains. As for the forest, it is almost impossible for a single person to pass through it. The forest is the world of monsters. If you go in alone,
There will be no bones left that will be eaten.
As for the swamp, it is a death trap, and there are countless monsters, which is more terrifying than the monster forest. It can be said that mountains, forests, and swamps are all insurmountable obstacles for Suojia. If one of them is not good, he will die in a foreign country.
"Guide..." Yes, Suojia knew that he needed a guide, a guide who could lead him through the Kaya Empire and towards the great trade route, but how could this guide be so easy to find?
The Kaya Empire is indeed very large, with a land area ten times that of the Holy Light. However, through books, Suojia learned that in the world, Kaya is just an unknown small country. As for the Holy Light, it is even smaller.
To the extent that it cannot be found on the map, it is said that... Kaya is only equivalent to the area of a province in a big country, and the same provinces in big countries have at least dozens.
Looking blankly at the map in his hand, Suojia suddenly realized that what he needed was a guide, but it was not just a guide from the Kaya Empire. What he needed was a guide who could guide him through the great trade routes. What he needed was a guide.
He is a great guide who is extremely familiar with all countries in the world and a journey partner!
Such guides still exist in this world. In fact, treasure hunters are the best guides. Treasure hunters have no borders. Wherever there are treasures, they will be there. Especially the treasure hunter family has
They have detailed maps of various countries in the world, and these maps are all drawn by themselves, so... as long as there is an experienced treasure hunter to lead them, Suojia's guide problem will be solved satisfactorily.
Saying goodbye to the Orion who led the way, Suojia rushed directly towards the Thieves Guild. In this world, no matter which country it is, they all have the same Thieves Guild. In fact, the Thieves Guild all over the world is a system and the same organization.
Just different branches of the union.
The reason why I want to join the Thieves Guild is because although a treasure hunter is called a hunter, in fact, it is just a branch of thieves and belongs to the thief profession rather than the hunter profession.
From the outside, the Thieves Guild looks like just a tall and dilapidated double-story wooden house. In line with the hiding characteristics of thieves, the architectural style is not ostentatious at all. At first glance, it seems to be a civilian residence.
Not only the appearance, the interior of the Thieves Guild is also very unique due to its stealth characteristics. In the old wooden house, there are dim chandeliers hanging. It’s not that they can’t be lit brightly, but as the saying goes, concealment...
The wooden house is filled with round tables and chairs. There are blackboards hanging on the surrounding walls. Directly opposite the door is a long counter. That's right... In fact, the Thieves Guild is a tavern, and everyone can come in.
Let's have a drink, but everyone knows that the tavern is just a disguise. The real function here is the thieves' guild, which accepts and handles all things related to thieves.
After entering the Thieves Guild, Suojia found a dark corner and sat down. According to the records in the book, more powerful thieves usually gather in such corners. The more powerful the thieves are, the more they must pay attention to hiding.
Otherwise, wouldn't his enemies be able to find him easily?
Moreover, the reason why I chose the corner is because this is the distribution center for gossip. If you want to know the secrets of the thieves world and eavesdrop on secrets, you can’t go wrong choosing this place. Generally speaking, humans talk about comparisons.
When it comes to secret matters, I prefer to choose dark and remote places.
After ordering a glass of gin, Suojia sipped it gently. On the surface, he seemed to be enjoying the aroma of the wine, but in fact, all of Suojia's energy was spent listening to the conversation in the corner.
Voice.
After listening for a long time, Suojia heard a lot of top-secret news, but no one was talking about the news he wanted to hear. After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, Suojia finally couldn't sit still. He didn't have time.
This is a waste of money. Since waiting around will not work, the only option is to take the initiative.
After asking for another glass of gin, Suojia stood up holding the glass in his hand. After glancing around, he walked towards a round table by the window with a smile on his face.
Under the stunned gazes of the four thieves around the round table, Suojia smiled and sat on the empty seat. Seeing this scene, one of the thieves said in shock: "Hey! We don't seem to know this gentleman, right?"
"Haha..." Suojia glanced at the other person with a smile and said calmly: "Don't they all start from not knowing each other, gradually develop into acquaintance, and then become friends?"
Having said this, Suojia turned around and said to the bartender: "Give me another four glasses of gin. I want to treat these friends to a few drinks!"
Hearing Suojia's words, the four thieves were startled for a moment, but then they laughed. Such things often happened in the tavern. They already understood that Suojia must have something to ask them. This was also
One of the main functions of the Thieves Guild is that as long as you invite thieves in the tavern to drink, you can ask them for information. Of course...if the information is more valuable, you will also have to charge money.
While thinking about it, four large glasses of gin were brought up. The four thieves were not polite. They picked up the glasses and drank heavily. It was rare for someone to treat a guest, and the invitation was such an expensive wine. I didn't drink too much.
I really feel sorry for myself.
After drinking more than half of the glass in one breath, the four thieves put down their glasses. At the same time, an older thief said with a red face: "Okay, my friend, if there is anything you want to know, you can start asking.
."
Looking around slightly, Suojia didn't hide much, smiled and nodded: "I want to ask, who in the Kaya Empire knows more about all the countries in the world? I need a guide, someone who can guide me in the great business world.
A guide on the road!"
After hearing Suojia's question, several thieves were stunned for a moment. Then the older thief shook his head and said, "Another little guy who doesn't know how high the sky is. Is it so easy to break into a great trade route?"
"Hey..." With a sigh, the older thief continued: "But no matter what, I respect your decision, and... since I drank your wine, I have an obligation to tell you the answer."
Having said this, the older thief suddenly picked up the wine glass, poured all the gin in the glass down his throat, and then said with a held breath: "You can go and have a look near the Emerald City. There is a mysterious treasure hunter there*
*Probably can meet your needs! His name is - Nico!"
Since he didn't know the road, Suojia could only hire the four thieves. Under the leadership of the four thieves, Suojia rushed all the way to Green City, an extremely prosperous city in the middle of the jungle.
After arriving at the Emerald City Thieves Guild, the four thieves and Suojia had another drink before leaving. As for finding Nico, that was Suojia's business. The four thieves only knew such a person and did not
I don't know where she lives or where she is now. In fact, the whereabouts of a thief are almost impossible to grasp. You can find her, but you need luck.
I searched for several days, but after asking many people, there was still no detailed information. Everyone knew about Nico and was sure that she lived in Green City, but no one knew where she was now.
However, the efforts of the past few days were not in vain. From the mouths of many thieves, Suojia still learned a lot of information. Nico is a descendant of a family of treasure hunters that has been passed down for thousands of years. The reason why everyone knows her is not because of her.
How powerful it is simply because among Nico's ancestors, there were ten legendary treasure hunters and one epic treasure hunter.
On average, every hundred years, a legendary treasure hunter will appear in Nico's family, and every thousand years, an epic treasure hunter will appear. Although now, their family has declined, but... Nico's family has been in the family for thousands of years.
The accumulated knowledge still exists.
For thousands of years, there have been ten legendary treasure hunters and one epic treasure hunter. What does this mean? Yes... it means that there were ten ancestors of the Nico family who successfully crossed the great trade route, and one ancestor was more
It dominated the great trade routes, so the maps of all the countries in the world must be so complete that it is unimaginable.
Suojia learned from everyone's mouth that Nico was the last generation of this family, and she was also the last person. Her parents had passed away. Nico's current whereabouts were a mystery, but not long ago, someone was in the green
Cheng has seen her before, so if you are lucky, you can still find her.
Finally, after several days of inquiring, Suojia understood that it would be difficult to find Nico if he just waited and waited. Although the Green City was very big, the chances seemed to be greater if he went outside to try his luck.
While thinking, Suojia left the Thieves Tavern and walked along the bluestone streets toward the downtown area. He looked at the sketch of Nico in his hand and murmured this touching name. Suojia always felt as if he was
I've seen her before somewhere, even her name seems a bit familiar.
"Damn it, grab her! She stole my wallet..." As he was walking with his head lowered, an angry roar came from the front.
He raised his head in astonishment and looked towards the opposite side. He saw a vigorous man in black turning the corner of the street and running towards Suojia. In the blink of an eye, the masked man in black had already rushed to Suojia.
Added in front of him.
Facing the figure rushing towards him like the wind, Suojia knew very well that this was the thief who stole the wallet, but... this matter had nothing to do with him. Suojia didn't want to show off randomly, as long as it wasn't him who stole the wallet.
He was too lazy to pay attention to his wallet.
While thinking, the man in black accelerated violently and rushed towards Suojia. Seeing this scene, Suojia subconsciously took out the Lingbo footwork. His body twisted strangely, trying to avoid it.
The other party gives way.
However, Suojia made a big mistake. You know... Lingbo footwork uses fake movements to deceive the enemy's brain and nerves. It seems that he is giving way to the left, but his body is moving to the right. He is clearly looking at the opponent.
While walking forward, the body is moving backward, making it impossible to hit the target.
However, this set of footwork is only effective when used in combat. It only works when the enemy tries hard to attack you. But now, both Suojia and the black-clothed thief want to avoid each other, so this
Something went terribly wrong.
Seeing Suojia's body moving to the right, the black-clothed thief glanced gratefully at Suojia and prepared to pass through Suojia from the left. But don't forget that Suojia's Lingbo footwork is reversed. Look at it.
It seems to be moving to the left, but in fact the body is moving to the right.
"Bang!" In the dull sound, the black-clothed thief violently bumped into Suojia. For a moment, the two of them turned into rolling gourds at the same time. Under the huge momentum, the two of them fell to the ground at the same time, rolling in embarrassment.
stand up.
"Quickly... catch him! He has fallen down, catch up quickly!" Just after the roll ended, an angry roar came from the direction of the street corner. The next moment... more than a dozen figures quickly turned around the corner and headed towards Suojia.
and the masked thief in black rushed over.
Glancing at Suojia angrily, the thief in black had no time to pay attention to Suojia. He climbed up with difficulty and prepared to continue running away. However, as soon as he stood up straight, the thief in black stumbled and fell down again. The collision just now
, he was obviously seriously injured.
In just such a delay, the enemy had arrived. More than a dozen figures surrounded Suojia and the masked thief one after another. Then...a rich fat man walked over with a ferocious look on his face, and raised his fat hands towards
He pointed at the masked thief and said angrily: "Beat me, beat me to death, you even dare to steal my money, you don't know how to live or die!"
Hearing the big fat man's words, a dozen warriors around him drew their weapons at the same time and pushed towards the black-clothed thief. Seeing this scene, Suojia couldn't help but frowned. In Suojia's view, the thief stole money.
It's a matter of course. Since there is a profession of thieves, stealing is normal. Since you are caught, just return the wallet. As for beating people to death?
While thinking about it, the battle had already begun. Under the siege of more than a dozen warriors, the masked thief showed extremely flexible skills. He quickly dodged in a small space. For a moment, she was able to successfully dodge.
More than a dozen attacks.
However, there were too many enemies and the encirclement was too small. The space for her to hide was pitifully small. After barely escaping a few attacks, the thief in black finally failed to evade again and was attacked by several people in succession.
After a heavy blow, he fell to the ground covered in blood, his whole body shaking violently, but his exposed eyes still shone with unyielding light.
"Damn..." Cursing, the fat man said cruelly: "Hand him up for me, he dares to steal my money, I have to chop off his hands!"
Hearing the fat man's words, several warriors walked over one after another, preparing to arrest the masked thief and cut off his hands. At this moment, a cold voice rang out: "That's enough! Don't go too far, almost.
That’s it!”
Hearing this sound, everyone stopped, turned their heads in confusion, and looked in the direction of the sound. Under everyone's gaze, Suojia slowly climbed up from the ground. The roll just now was already over.
Suojia's blue magic robe was covered in dust, and even his face was dirty.
Looking at Suojia's embarrassed appearance, everyone obviously didn't take him to heart. He was hit like this by a thief. What kind of powerful character could he be? Although he is a mage, he is so close.
