Chapter 4, Everything Will Be Alright

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The people in the tavern cursed a few times, then turned to see that Baras and Kanobo had already left.

Stealth begins at 200 points; even without shadows, a rogue can completely erase their traces

Many players thus enter the evil faction right from the beginning

The sound coming from the alley awakened Kano Bo, causing him to shiver involuntarily. He then called out into the darkness, "Baras?"

Sauron is the same.

A body covered in blood stains

This is the stealth ability of a thief

It was not until a drunken fellow stumbled out that people discovered the two corpses by the alley, which had long since turned cold.

Soren gently stroked Vivian's little head, leaned down, and kissed her forehead, saying earnestly: "Everything will be alright!"

Few dare to walk at night, as this area is frequented by marginalized individuals

The most discussed topic among them is still the recent conflict between the two gangs. Some have even taken pleasure in the misfortune, saying that someone actually dared to set their sights on Vivian. Now that Soren has awakened, someone is bound to face misfortune.

A series of data appeared before his eyes

Tomorrow, someone will collect their bodies

Not a single response

Unable to retract the one who released the water in time, he reached for his lower back

An ordinary commoner has only about 5 points of health

Moreover, Sauron has always valued this sister more than his own life; if anyone dared to lay a hand on her, Sauron would undoubtedly not let it go unpunished

He felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, and he vaguely saw a shadow moving in the dark corner of the alley.

Since she was three years old, it has been this young man before her who has sheltered her from the wind and rain

If there is anyone in this world who can gain her unconditional trust and access to her books, that person must be her brother

Perhaps thinking of Sauron awakening, his complexion was quite poor

After the two men exited the tavern, they both involuntarily shivered, perhaps due to having consumed quite a bit. Barras stepped out and immediately sought a small alley to slip into, preparing to relieve himself against the wall.

... ...

It was Barras and Canopus who intended to forcibly sell Vivian to Sorsha, one of whom walked with a limp, having been bitten by a fierce old dog when they initially attempted to take action.

The pressure of the past half month has left the little girl feeling utterly exhausted; she now just wants to stay by her brother's side, quietly being an inconspicuous little girl

The slum is shrouded in darkness, with only a few scattered places still illuminated.

Being caught for theft will result in imprisonment, and there is a possibility of having an arm broken

Those who dare to lay their hands on Vivian should also be sent to hell

There is a dagger there

Splash

A little girl who has just turned eight, managing to survive for half a month in such a chaotic slum, is truly a difficult endeavor

Successfully executed a backstab * 2, dealing 12 points of damage to the target

There lies the Hearth Tavern, one of the few pleasures in the slums, where one can purchase a large cup of diluted inferior ale for a single copper derel. Although it has a faint bird-like taste, it remains a rare indulgence for many of the lower-class impoverished. Adjacent to it is a row of lowly shanties, where for an additional five copper derels, one can enter a cheap brothel for some fleeting enjoyment. One should not expect much in terms of beauty; at best, the women are merely creatures with breasts and buttocks that resemble a woman.

Perhaps now he has entered a world that is more authentic and akin to books, or it could be that a little girl has appeared by his side. Soren is far more composed and patient than he was before. He carefully cuts the dark bread, then soaks it in hot water, and hands it to Vivian in front of him. He takes a bite himself, enduring the texture reminiscent of sawdust, and silently swallows it.

He is no longer just a player; in this strange yet familiar world, he must take responsibility for his actions, and even more so for the little Vivian by his side. Amber City is home to many powerful professionals, and all the guards protecting the city possess a professional template of at least level 10 militia or level 3 warrior. Unless he enhances his theft skill to above 75 points, there is still a possibility of being discovered.

She is truly exhausted

Soren gazed at Vivian, who was soundly asleep on the bed, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth

The little girl, who has just turned 8 this year, is still quite naive about many things, but she knows that as long as her brother is there, he will always protect her

but he is very clear about the fate he would face if he were to fail and be caught

A figure crouched against the wall and kicked off, immediately shooting out from the alley, with an agility rating of 19 that allowed Soren to leap directly onto the roof of the first floor without external assistance. His silhouette sprang forth like a leopard, instantly grasping Kanobo's neck, forcing his cries back. The impact knocked him to the ground, and then a cold gleam flashed as a dagger sliced open Kanobo's throat, subsequently piercing his heart from the front.

The shadow has successfully concealed itself

He spent 3 copper dollars to purchase a loaf of black bread, which was about the thickness of an arm and as hard as a weapon that could be used to attack foolish burglars, possessing a damage potential of 1D3. The lower-class citizens ground unhulled rye directly into flour, and the rough technique resulted in bits of wood and some strange substances mixed in. Once cooled, it became as hard as a club, and could only be barely swallowed after being cut open with a knife and soaked in water.

Utilizing the power of shadows to conceal himself, Sauron had already allocated all his skill points to stealth before his arrival. With a remarkable 45 points in stealth, he could become indistinct and silent within the shadows, sufficient to evade the notice of the vast majority of ordinary individuals. If he could elevate his stealth to 100 points, he would be able to hide within the shadows, leaving no trace whatsoever. Once his stealth reached 150 points, he could achieve an effect akin to invisibility, remaining undetectable even when standing right in front of you.

The scarred thin man, after finishing his words, cast a seemingly inexplicable glance at the corner of the tavern

There are two men sitting there

Suddenly

Go

Later, they no longer had to wander the streets, and finally found a small home in the chaotic slum area

I am afraid she has not had a good night's sleep for such a long time

... ...

A cold wind blew in

The tavern is filled with a cacophony of noise.

It is now impossible to withdraw even if one wishes to do so

This is a slum area

When Sauron returned to the slums with Vivian

This is a chaotic slum, where incidents involving deaths have occurred many times already

Well

This is after all not a game

The moon in the sky is hazy

Outside the Hearth Tavern are dimly lit alleys.

If something seems amiss, he will immediately turn around and flee

The two villains did not have much money on them, totaling only 5 silver thalers and over 20 copper thalers. A packet of inferior poison was also found on the corpse of mhetushu.com, which was presumably intended for use against Xis.

Thus, he became a thief

Everything will be alright

Vivian still remembers when she was very small, during that time her brother often got hurt. She didn't know how to do anything, only crying uselessly. Her brother, with his bruised face, always comforted her, saying that everything would be alright.

Unless it is against other professionals, Sauron is more than capable of easily assassinating his targets

The tavern remains lively and boisterous

No one pays attention, nor does anyone investigate

Many who once entered this world took risks because they could not endure such food

If the target of the theft is a noble

Suddenly, a hand covered Baras's mouth, stifling his cries of despair just before his death

It is not that he has no means to acquire money

Silently supporting until now

Balas unbuckled his belt to relieve himself, faintly hearing the creaking sounds coming from the shed beside the tavern. He couldn't help but mutter a curse, which was in the dialect of the Northern Qi region.

With Sauron's 15 points of constitution, even after advancing to a level 1 rogue, he only has 12 hit points. A mere thug from the slums is already enough for him to achieve a one-hit kill

And she is really hungry

Sauron held the target down firmly until the body stopped convulsing, and only then did he stand up

Although it is merely a level 1 thief, it can still inflict double assassination damage when executing a backstab

... ...

Sauron's figure appeared out of nowhere in an instant, emerging from the hazy shadows, though it is unclear how long he had been waiting here

Target eliminated

The strength is roughly equivalent to that of a first-level adventurer

But it is already too late

The night quietly descends

Sauron opened the hidden compartment beneath the wooden board and took out a dagger that glimmered with a cold light, a faint cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth

Sauron expressionlessly retracted the dagger, wiping the blood from it onto the corpse

This is truly wonderful

Not only urination, but even defecation is addressed by some individuals in the corners of alleys

As long as there is an older brother by my side, everything will be alright

A dagger glinting with a cold light pierced his back

Karo Bo finished the inferior beer in his cup; he is a miser who does not waste a single drop

Two individuals had already received the deposit from Soshia a few days ago. If they are unable to deliver Vivian by then, it is likely that someone will soon come to have a conversation with them

Extract target soul energy, gaining 30 points of killing experience

Ballas cast a gloomy glance at the others in the tavern and then said, "Let's go back."

Backstab activated

He furrowed his brow as he looked over the entire body, then retrieved a money pouch from the corpse before sheathing the dagger.

There is always a way to deal with Sauron

There are dockworkers struggling to make a living, gang members with sullen expressions, and various individuals from all walks of life.

The entire slum is filled with such dimly lit alleys, and at night, apart from a small number of people, very few others venture outside

Sauron looked at his palm, and then his figure gradually merged into the shadows, departing in the direction from which he came

After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously moved a little closer, wanting to see what Barras was doing

I will buy you some delicious food tomorrow

Vivian nodded gently

Although there was no salt added, and one could even say that it had a rather unpalatable texture, Vivian still ate with great joy, for she was a little girl who was easily satisfied
