Close your eyes and become the strongest adventurer

Chapter 35 The Thieves Guild and the Code

At this time, Xuan Yuan heard it not far away.

Two adventurers who were waiting by the fountain were whispering:

"Haha, you haven't come yet, so you lost the bet?"

"I paid off the payment, but I don't even understand the most basic?"

"Dare to yell at the gate of the guild, aren't you in a hurry to give money to people?"

"Sure enough, it was stolen after a short walk, right?"

The other person shook his head, took out a handful of silver coins and threw them to the other party.

"If you ask me, this guy is also stupid. He doesn't keep the guild mark after paying back the money."

"It's really bad luck if you can't keep it for a while."

Speaking of which, the companions the two adventurers were waiting for had arrived.

They got up and left the adventurer's guild with their companions.

As for the anxious bearded man and his companions, they were quickly brought into the Adventurer's Guild by the guards.

Xuan Yuan was a little surprised, and then realized.

There are so many talents in this world.

He even has talents like resurrection and thirty times the speed of sound, so how could he not have talents like stealing?
Stealing with personal talent, I am afraid it is difficult to track, right?

Thinking of this, Xuan Yuan couldn't help but look at the guild mark on his leather armor and blue bow.

Suddenly understood.

Mark the guild mark on the equipment in the repayment.

For adventurers who are weak or have no anti-theft measures, it is also a protective measure in disguise.

While thinking, a burly figure wearing a full body of gold armor appeared.

He strode up to Xuan Yuan.

"Yo! Xuanyuan."

"Are you here so early?"

"I deliberately handed over half an hour early today, thinking about coming over early to wait for you."

"Since you are already here, let's go directly!"

After all, Captain Thorfinn took the lead and walked forward.

Xuan Yuan quickly followed.

On the way, I briefly told Captain Thorfin about the equipment theft I just witnessed.

Just listen.

Captain Torfin laughed loudly:
"Brother Xuanyuan, you are still too young."

"You were cheated, it was just a play, not real."

Xuan Yuan was taken aback:
"why?"

Captain Thorfinn explained:
"Since you have passed the newcomer training, I believe you already understand the cruelty of the dungeon."

"In order to successfully conquer the dungeon, no matter what their talents are, they must be allowed to contribute to human beings instead of adding chaos to the interior."

"Stealing talents certainly exist."

"The strength of some stealing talents is even beyond your imagination."

"There is no way to track or defend. Although there is a talent for restraining theft, it cannot compare with the number of people with the talent for stealing."

"Even if you have a talent for stealing, you can't convict people or set some life restrictions because of this."

"After all, stealing talent is extremely important in dungeons, especially those high-difficulty horror dungeons. In many cases, it even determines the survival of the team."

"Therefore, there are still some hidden guilds inside the Adventurer's Guild."

"The Thieves Guild is one of them."

"The scene you saw just now is a way for the Thieves Guild to recruit and fish."

"The difficulty of this method is considered the lowest. The recruited and caught are some guys who don't like to use their brains or are more impulsive, and have a strong talent for self-control."

"The adventurer whose weapon was stolen yelled on purpose when he left the guild."

"His weapon has long been engraved with the invisible mark of the guild."

"You think that person is the unlucky second idiot whose equipment was stolen just after repaying the loan."

"Actually, he was a lucky guy who had already repaid his loan a long time ago. He chose to cooperate with the Thieves Guild to try his luck. He didn't expect to catch a big fish."

"Regardless of whether he can catch the fish in the end, he may have been exempt from debt after completing the performance."

"Of course, this process is kept from most people."

"In this way, not only has the recruitment of the Thieves Guild been completed, it has helped some adventurers who cannot repay their loans, and at the same time, it has also warned some newcomers who are not vigilant, and told them with vivid examples before them, how to learn how to protect their equipment from being stolen. steal."

After hearing this, Xuan Yuan couldn't help being taken aback.

"So there is a thieves' guild? They actually recruit new people in this way?"

"Find a group of people who dare to commit crimes, and will obediently obey the arrangements of the Thieves Guild?"

Captain Thorfin smiled again:

"Don't underestimate the means of the guild."

"The Thieves Guild has more than one way to recruit new people, and there are many different and hidden ways to recruit new people inside."

"During this process, the instructors will conduct an all-round comprehensive evaluation of the new thieves' conduct, morality, behavior patterns, and decision-making methods."

"In fact, if you are really a hopeless thief, criminal, violent maniac, villain, etc., you will not be able to pass the test of character."

"For this category of criminals."

"Not only is the Thieves Guild not worried, but it is very happy, because these criminals have always been a scarce item that is in short supply."

"Normal thieves guild members, the guild will spend a lot of time and energy on training, and it will take a long time to grow into an independent thief. It is easy to die halfway during this process."

"In dungeons with higher difficulty, thieves are easily hated by dungeon monsters, and often enter some extremely dangerous places alone, resulting in a very high death rate for thieves, and the rogue profession is extremely scarce."

"In some dungeons, people who have the talent for stealing are even needed all year round, and they are constantly filled with their lives like consumables."

"And, when the progress of the strategy reaches the last floor of the dungeon."

"There is an urgent need for people with superb theft talents to steal information about the dungeon as soon as possible, find the core of the dungeon as quickly as possible, and destroy it."

"Therefore, once a criminal who is vicious and unable to change is found, if the other party has a strong talent for stealing."

"We will go through the normal process, let his crimes be exposed, and punish him for several crimes."

"After being sent to prison and sentenced to life imprisonment, some special care will be given to him in prison, and finally he will be given a chance to participate in a death selection."

"Let this person take the initiative to try his best to participate in the selection, and participate in a secret mission that is close to death."

"As long as you can complete the task, you can get rid of the body of guilt and start a new life."

"Of course, the death rate of this type of mission is generally very high. If you survive, you are eligible to become a full member of the Thieves Guild."

"What I said is just some semi-public secrets."

"In short, the routines in the Thieves Guild are very deep. They are all a group of elites. You can't figure it out."

Hearing this, Xuan Yuan couldn't help being a little amazed.

Sure enough, no matter which world you are in, you cannot underestimate the ingenuity of human beings.

Xuan Yuan looked at Captain Thorfinn curiously:

"Then why are you telling me this?"

"Even if it's only a half-open secret, I'm not qualified to know it now, right?"

Captain Thorfinn laughed:
"Don't underestimate yourself, you already have this qualification."

"The good place I told you about has arrived."

Xuan Yuan looked up, and found that it was a small shop on the back of the street, but the name of the shop made Xuan Yuan feel very familiar:
【Xiaofantou's Adventurer's Home】

He suddenly remembered, wasn't the restaurant where he ate for the first time when he came here called [Old Man's Adventurer's House]?

What a coincidence, the name is only one letter away?

Could it be that the two restaurant owners are related?
Xuan Yuan suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed Captain Tolfin into the shop.

This is an unassuming store.

The signboard is not obvious, and the business is very poor, obviously it's time for dinner.

The other restaurants are all thriving, but this restaurant is empty, without a single diner.

Just as Xuan Yuan was wondering.

I saw Captain Tolfin saying to the attendant who was coming towards him:
"Two steak noodles."

Xuan Yuan was about to say something, but Captain Tolfin reached out to stop Xuan Yuan, motioning him not to speak.

The waiter nodded knowingly, turned and left.

After a while, the face is still not served.

I saw the waiter walking over with a small box of cakes, saying that the chef saw that they were new faces who came here for the first time, and specially arranged for a small gift from the waiter.

At this time, the cook in the kitchen was standing at the window.

Facing Captain Thorfinn, he smiled, gave a thumbs up, and shook it up and down three times.

Xuan Yuan has seen this scene before.

The owner of the shop he ate at also gestured to him in the same way.

This is a common blessing among adventurers, representing "safety in and out, and a rewarding return."

Just when Xuanyuan was confused.

But Captain Thorfin showed his right thumb to the opponent, with the thumb pointing down, shaking it three times in a row.

Xuan Yuan was stunned.

This thumbs down gesture.

No matter on the earth or in this world, it represents disdain and provocation.

Xuan Yuan kept silent rationally, because he had vaguely noticed something.

See Captain Thorfinn's hand gesture.

Instead of being angry, the chef in the kitchen waved to the two very politely:
"The code is passed, the two of you please follow me."
