The 'Rising Star' plane, a mortal world sheltered by the goddess of gems and pearls.

Charance is a noble and proud goddess, although her divine power is not strong, but she is obsessed with dressing herself with gems and pearls, "You can not be the strongest, but you must be the most expensive", this is the creed that Charance often hangs on her lips.

He accepted only merchants, wealthy and wealthy nobles as his followers, and the mortal church was already to be decorated with colorful gems and pearls, and his idols had to be carved from all kinds of luxurious objects.

He always pays attention only to luxury and extravagance, despises poverty, and has a common practice of extravagance within the church, determines the status of the church by the amount of wealth, closely engages in commercial activities, and at the same time pays attention to the spirit of contract, and abhors theft, robbery, and unjust ways of acquiring wealth, and once caught, it will be dealt with as a felony of blasphemy.

Therefore, this goddess will be the deity who will compete with the goddess of wealth for the priesthood of luxury, wealth, and trade.

Charance had an expensive and extravagant artifact crown, on which dozens of pearls were inlayed, large and small, and the brightest of these pearls was called the 'Rising Star'.

……

The Plains of the Golden Dawn occupies nearly 20% of the continent's arable land, and the 700-year-old kingdom of Agellan was born on this land.

Because of this plain, the kingdom developed a prosperous agriculture, and the granaries were everywhere, bringing stability and prosperity and harmony to the kingdom.

In the eastern part of the kingdom, there is a meandering harbor land, where a dense number of merchant ships anchor every year, and ships from various countries bring their own specialties, such as porcelain, pottery, spices, horses and textiles, to exchange rich and diverse crops with the kingdom.

If the south, west and north are the granaries of the kingdom, then the east is the outlet of the kingdom, and agriculture and commerce go hand in hand, making Agellan the richest and most powerful country in the entire 'Rising Star' plane.

In this land, the ecclesiastical power of the goddess of gems and pearls is also the strongest.

Bagil is a thief, described in the church scriptures, as a 'sinner who will surely go to hell' after death, but he doesn't care, he was once a hot-blooded man who bravely pursued wealth, and after seeing his boss who withheld his salary for three months' salary and framed him as a despicable thief with his wife, he was beaten and thrown into prison by the security officer, and he became a walking corpse completely.

Stealing is a felony and is punishable by burning at the stake, so after escaping from prison by knocking out a jailer in the middle of the night, Bagil, who has nowhere else to go, really becomes a thief that everyone shouts and beats, just like the crime he was accused of.

Stealing is also a skilled job, and in this endeavor, Baguir considers himself to be no less than the profiteers who are always trying to fill the grain with chaff.

So within 17 years of escaping, he became the most powerful pickpocket in the entire Whitewater City.

White River City is the last link from the Golden Plains to the eastern harbor, and is an important transportation hub, bringing vibrancy to the city with caravans.

More merchants means more money, and with his amazing robbery techniques, any caravan that ranks high has been poisoned by Bajir.

No matter how many bodyguards the merchants hired, even if there were professionals among them, and even if they even invited spellcasters, they couldn't stop the thief who came and went freely.

On this day, Bagir had his sights on another caravan.

This is a rare fat sheep.

According to the report of his subordinate Goldfinger, the caravan salvaged a wreck in the eastern bay, which contained more than a dozen treasure chests filled with pearls, each of which was said to be the size of a pigeon's egg.

Pearls are one of the most expensive tributes to the goddess, dividing their value by size and color.

Not to mention the color, this size alone is enough to prove that it is worth a lot, even if he wants to get one of the boxes, Baguir can directly buy a knight collar from the kingdom, and also take a noble lord as a pawn.

As long as this vote is done, there is no need to continue to do these shitty deeds in the future, and Bajir will not be moved.

"However, I heard that in order to ensure that this ship of pearls can be delivered to the royal city safely, the caravan has hired three spellcasters to take care of them along the way......

Young Goldfinger was a little afraid, and the mysterious caster couldn't help but feel fear.

But Bagir was disdainful, and he struck the apprentice on the head and scolded:

"You clumsy idiot, do you think Lao Tzu is as stupid as you? What spell casters, from them, I don't know how many pairs of underwear I have taken off......"

"I ask you, do you want to be a thief for the rest of your life?"

Goldfinger answered honestly:

"No, my mother said, thieves are all lazy and lazy shitty breeds......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was knocked on the head by Bajir again:

"You stupid thing, the lowest thing is not a thief, it's a poor ghost, you know?"

After hitting a few times in a row, Bagill snorted comfortably:

"As long as you finish this vote, Lao Tzu can even buy a piece of land to be a noble lord, you can also be a squire, much better than those stinky poor ghosts, remember my words, when the time comes, you have to do this......"

That night, Bagill arrived at the caravan's residence with a few young Goldfinger apprentices.

The caravan's defense was extremely tight, in addition to the spellcasters, they also invited several mercenary groups to come over to guard, plus the original guards, the number was three or five hundred, and there were dozens of second-order unconventional professionals.

Bagill instructed the apprentice, and soon the apprentice made a cat-like meow.

The meow caught the attention of several waves of guards, but only two approached.

With a whisper of curses, Baguir then sent the other apprentices to run to other places, scattering them in a semicircle and barking at dogs.

The dog's barking immediately attracted the attention of the hounds in the camp, and they barked one after another.

This incident immediately attracted the attention of the professionals, and they immediately searched for the source of the sound, and when they saw the frightened apprentices, they smiled disdainfully, and then swung their swords and cut off their heads.

And it was in this gap that Bajir had slipped into the camp like a fish.

He knew that such a clumsy approach would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the professionals, so before the plan, several apprentices had already been designed by him as sacrifices to create a breakthrough opportunity for himself.

Even if the professionals wanted to catch the mouth, it was useless, and several people were secretly drugged and unable to speak like mutes, and they were all illiterate and could not write.

In this way, it becomes a living waste.

The conspiracy killed several apprentices who had been raised by his own hands, and Bagil's hands were useless for even a little trembling, and he rushed left and right in the camp like a gecko-like wall-climbing technique, and his clothes were sprinkled with special medicinal powder, which would not be detected by the hounds.

Soon, he came to the high mouth position, faced the sea breeze, and saw the salvaged shipwreck.

In the darkness of the night, the mottled and rotting shipwreck brought with it a creepy smell, and the fishy smell of the sea breeze blew from it, and Bagir sniffed out a special stench.

It smells like sulfur.
