Chapter 70 The Tricks of the Traffickers
Roger was walking on a path outside the Mist Forest, and he was heading towards Elamus City. Ares had already ridden his baby griffin. Before parting, he gave himself a book "Introduction to Basic Skills of Thieves", which mainly introduces some basic skills of thieves and how to practice introductory practice. In fact, this book can also be borrowed in the academy library, but Ares put forward some of his own opinions and opinions on the cultivation method on the title page of the book. However, Ares repeatedly reminded Roger that it is best not to start dual cultivation of thieves skills if it is less than the level of a level six magician.
Roger recalled the scene before parting in his mind:
"Why can't I practice thieves skills now?" Roger, holding "Introduction to Basic Thieves Skills", stared at Ares, who was still wearing a mask, and asked in confusion.
"Level 6 to Level 7 is a hurdle. Level 1-3 is considered an apprentice level, and level 4-6 is considered an intermediate level strength. Once you reach Level 7, no matter what profession, you can be considered a master. Level 6 advancement to Level 7 is also the second difficult bottleneck after advancing to the Holy Realm. Although you are already a Level 4 magician now, you may be able to reach the level 6 magician level in a few years, but between Level 6 and Level 7, many people have been stuck for decades but have not been able to get through. Level 6 advance to Level 7 is no longer purely based on hardship.
After practicing, it depends on your understanding and opportunity. Maybe luck comes and you will be over... So, after you reach Level 6, you will also practice thieves skills, and you may have improved your understanding. Now is the golden time for your practice, so you should study magic with peace of mind. How many thieves dream of having magical talents and becoming a noble magician... But you, a magician, always want to be a thief... It's really speechless!" The voice of Ares at that time seemed to echo in Roger's ears.
"It seems that I have to work harder after I go back to the academy and strive to break through to Level 6 as soon as possible." Roger thought secretly while walking hurriedly.
"Okay! There is a small town ahead, it's already noon. I can rest in the restaurant, have lunch before setting off! I guess I'll be able to walk to Elams City tonight." Roger looked at the houses slowly emerging from the horizon ahead and accelerated his pace again.
After Roger arrived at the town, he found a restaurant casually and walked to the window to sit down. Soon, a waiter in white clothes walked up to Roger.
"Master Magician, what meal do you want to order?" The waiter asked politely. There were many adventurers and mercenaries in the town, but there were not many magicians.
"Give me a glass of juice, two steaks and a bread!" Roger said.
"Okay! Please wait." The waiter brought Roger a glass of water and went down.
At this time, Roger began to observe the situation in the restaurant.
Soon, Roger's attention was placed on a group of people who were chatting with businessmen across two tables. With the mental power of his level 4 magician, he could clearly hear the content of the chatting of these people.
"Budonny, is your news accurate? Is that noble girl who ran away from home really that beautiful?" asked a thin middle-aged man with two rat whiskers.
"Ribero, it's true! Although she was wearing civilian clothing, the materials used in the clothes were very exquisite, not affordable by ordinary families. Moreover, her eating, speaking and other behaviors were obviously trained by noble etiquette. Although her personality was very rude, a discerning person could still tell at a glance that she had received good education since she was a child. The girl looked like an angel. I think even our Princess Jessica was probably worse than her. Her face was so tender that she might be watery when she pinched her skin..." A fat man with big ears said with a confused look on his face.
"Then why don't you catch her back? Aren't you always following four bodyguards?" Ribero asked curiously.
"No! That girl can do magic! I saw with my own eyes that a few gangsters in Morijin Village wanted to tease the girl, but the girl was burned to pieces by the fireball technique. The four bodyguards under my command could not even fight. It would be okay to scare ordinary people, but how dare they fight with magicians?" Budonnie said with regret.
"Oh? I can still do magic? Then it seems that this girl's identity is not simple! A fourteen-year-old girl who is dressed in aristocratic costume, can also do magic, and looks so beautiful..." Ribero was hesitating while twisting his two rat whiskers.
"Ribero! Let's do this! Although the girl's identity is definitely not simple, we just need to sell her to other countries, such as Jepeng, and we will be fine! And when negotiating the price, we may not have to take action in person, just find someone to cover her face." Budonnie said anxiously.
"This... let me think about it again!" Ribero said with a hint of sarcastic look.
"What else are you thinking about! The great nobles and rich merchants nowadays like this loli*. If they are still a noble daughter, the price will be even higher. And this girl can still be magical, then she is probably the best in the world! Think about it, what a mage is! I press such a beautiful female magician under my body... I can't help it..." Budunny looked anxious.
"But... Budjonny, have you ever thought about it? How can we grasp the strength of the magician?" Ribero said with some doubt.
"What are you afraid of? Although I don't know magic, I have a bodyguard's brother who is studying in the Magic Academy. He said that the magician's melee ability is very poor, and he is easily defeated as long as he is close to the warrior. Therefore, advanced magicians usually bring several guards of melee professions... Don't you have two third-level warriors under you? As long as we pretend to be a merchant selling flowers, toys and other items, we will take action after getting close to the girl, and it will be almost certain to get it?" Budonnie had already planned it.
"Then how do we divide the money after selling it?" Ribero asked the most critical question at this time. The reason why he refused to agree readily was actually trying to lower the price.
"Old rules, half the point! The news is provided by me, and I will also do my best to catch that girl." Budonie said, shaking her fat body.
"But your subordinates are too poor. If you fight, you have to rely on my subordinates to do their best. And... it may not be true if the girl has any companions... If you agree to the four-six, you four and I will only take action!" Ribero said with a sneering smile.
"...Ribero, you are breaking the rules!" Bujoni said angrily with a pair of small eyes.
