  Chapter 29 Thief Guild a

generally speaking, thieves don't look like Rhodes people.

The thieves target either the obviously rough-hearted or the wealthy businessman. Rhodes' sorcerer dress can often dissuade thieves from the desire to steal.

But there are thieves who try to steal from Rhodes. Said to be stealing, but it is actually a temptation by the forces in the city to Rhodes. According to Rhodes' response to the temptation, there will be different follow-ups.

Rhodes stood there, motionless, watching the thief's body fall toward him, as if waiting for the thief's hand to reach his pocket.

Seeing that the target did not move, the thief was secretly happy, and he was reluctant to do this kind of task of testing the target. In previous temptation missions, a person who was not careful would offend the target of the temptation, but the target in front of him didn't look very good. Although he was dressed as a sorcerer, he had no preparation for such a thing. In an instant, the valuable items on him can be taken away.

The thief reaches out a lot quicker at the thought that any item he gets during the temptation is his own. The person in front of him is likely to be an inexperienced sorcerer. Once he succeeds, the magic item on him can be sold for a high price.

Suddenly, the vigilance brought by years of burglary career made the thief feel something. The thief wanted to pull back, but it was too late.

The thief was horrified to see that just as he was trying to retract his hand back, a hand with a sharp claw quickly protruded from the side, and the speed far exceeded his own movements.

With sharp claw hands, it caught the thief's hands accurately. The thief was about to resist when a burst of pain came, and half of his palm fell to the ground.

For a time, the pain overwhelmed the thief's consciousness. The thief's face was full of fear, knowing that this time's temptation had hit a snag.

The blood dripped on the ground, and the thief wanted to escape to the rear, but just when he was about to make a move, he suddenly realized that the sorcerer in front of him had never shot.

From the moment the thief tried to fall on Rhodes, Rhodes did nothing but looked at the thief in front of him. Abolishing the thief's hand is only a claw of the vampire next to him.

The strong premonition of death lets the thief know that if he runs away to the rear, the sorcerer in front of him will release a magic and kill him.

Resisting the fear and pain, the thief knelt directly on the ground, not daring to look up at the black robe sorcerer in front of him, but quickly told a series of reasons and begged Rhodes for mercy.

Rhodes did not embarrass him, and asked him directly:

"Where is the Thief Guild in this city?"

The thief explained to Rhodes in a low voice direction, Rhodes then asked:

“Where is the Freelance Chamber of Commerce?”

After getting the answer from the thief, Rhodes ignored him. Rhodes bypassed the kneeling thief, and at the same time controlled the vampire through the spiritual imprint, allowing it to suppress the bloodthirsty desire and proceed in the direction of the Thief Guild that the thief pointed to.

The thief kneeling on the spot was full of remorse, even if he stopped the bleeding wound, he would never lose the hand that was best at stealing, and his career as a thief could be said to be over.

Rhodes, who was moving forward, clearly felt the changes in the eyes around him.

As soon as he entered the city, Rhodes felt the gazes around him watching him, wanting to know his origin, purpose...and strength.

Perhaps the negative influence of the identity of the undead mage, Rhodes does not believe that every person who enters the city for the first time will be subject to this kind of temptation.

During the thief's probing process, the vampire instantly abolished one of the thief's hands with just one blow. This very ruthless approach, as well as its high strength, undoubtedly deterred the hidden observers around. . In addition, during this process, Rhodes himself did not make a move at all, and the strength of deep and unmeasurable made the people who were originally watching put a dangerous mark on Rhodes and his party.

Rhodes didn't ask which side the thief was trying to come from. Whether it was the various forces in the city or the Thief Guild, it didn't matter to Rhodes. has a more important purpose.

Leading vampire, Rhodes followed the direction of the thief and came to the door of a building.

Rhodes looks into the building, which is dimly lit with only a few oil lamps, but still brighter than the tomb where Rhodes was previously.

The inside of the building is crowded but silent, and even conversations take place in low voices. Under the illumination of the lights, the silhouette rises, giving the building a special sense of ceremony.

Seeing the scene inside, Rhodes knew the thief wasn't lying to survive, and this is where he's coming, Thief Guild.

As soon as Rhodes entered, a waiter dressed in a black robe stepped forward to inquire about his purpose.

The same is to obtain information. Unlike a noisy place like a tavern, Thief Guild has always regarded information as a commodity. Whether it is selling intelligence or obtaining intelligence, there are dedicated locations.

Rhodes indicated to the waiter his intention to ask for the message. The waiter whispered to Rhodes to follow him, and then led them inside.

Led by the waiter, Rhodes and vampire passed through the hall of the Thief Guild and came to the door of a room.

The waiter knocked twice on the door, then opened the door and Rhodes and vampire entered.

Rhodes looked into the room, a soundproofed quiet room for inquiries, with a long table in the quiet room. The light source in the quiet room comes from candlesticks placed at both ends of the table, illuminating the items placed on the table.

Through candlelight, Rhodes saw that quill pens were placed at each end of the table, and a parchment was placed in the center.

Across the table sat an old man, also dressed in a hood, with a black face towel surrounding his face, with deep wrinkles beside the exposed eye sockets. His wrinkled hands rested on the table, signaling to Rhodes that he was unarmed, watching Rhodes silently at the moment.

Rhodes understands that, based on what he knew about the Thief Guild in his previous life, as far as the Thief Guild in this town is concerned, this is already the highest standard of quiet room inquiry.

Rhodes guessed that it should have been the Thief Guild's news that he had attacked the thieves before, so he would treat himself with the highest standard of hospitality at this moment.

Perhaps, the previous trial was arranged by Thief Guild.

Without thinking about these questions, Rhodes sat on the chair at the table, while Vampire stood by.

The old man opposite raised his hand that had been on the table and motioned Rhodes to write down his question on a piece of paper.
