98. Juvenile Rupee
Ruby was a little calmer, at least after knowing that he wasn't going to die, he wasn't so worried.
As a thief born in a thief's guild, Ruby has only been indoctrinated since he was a child.
Only worthy people can survive.
This was a rule that his adoptive father had taught him, and he had always followed it, so his life had not been good over the years, but it was not bad. Of course, compared to the teenagers and girls of his age who joined the Thieves' Guild as new, his situation has naturally always been the envy of everyone. Unfortunately, after Ruby's adoptive father was killed in a failed assassination attempt three years ago, Ruby's good days began to come to an end, and even though he tried hard to make himself more valuable and present, his ostracism was even worse.
At a young age, Ruby finally grew up rapidly in these successive setbacks, and finally understood the warmth, hypocrisy, and snobbery of the world.
So two years ago, he chose to enter the wilderness to develop here.
As a fascist, the area that Ruby chose to enter could not have been the Great Rift Valley, but the Erisian Zone, which was located in the Rios Forest in the Principality of Equiri. But in one of the three most prosperous areas of the Savage Lands, how could there be a room for a child who was only fourteen years old? So in order to survive and exercise his strength, Ruby spent more than a year traversing the Erlisen Zone, and finally came to the Windchase tribe in the Great Rift Valley.
In this obviously backward region, although the situation of the Chasing Wind Tribe is okay, it is indeed very barren compared to other places. However, such a place is more suitable for Rupee's life, so after half a year, Ruby not only completely took root in the Wind Chasing Tribe. The strength has also been improved from the second order to the lower bronze, although the strength is not particularly strong, but in the wilderness, it is finally no longer the level that will be called at will. Perhaps because this place is so poor, there are fewer disputes, and Rupee gets along very well with the members of the thieves' guild here.
And with his adoptive father's training and practice over the past few years, Ruby has finally established his position here in the Wind Chasing Tribe. If it weren't for that, how could so many people come forward to intercept Sean when he was catching Ruby?
Originally, with this method, the thieves guild here in the Wind Chasing Tribe had always been quite good, because if it was an ordinary person, even if he was not very happy, he could only obediently hand over the bowing fee. Even if you have some strength. Usually no one makes trouble here, so in most cases, you can't get it back in the end.
However, is Sean an an ordinary person?
He has proved countless facts that anyone who wants to treat him as an ordinary person will end up miserable and miserable.
"What's your name?" Sean cocked Erlang's legs. Sitting in a chair, he asked Rupee.
"Rupee." The young Ruby looked a little resigned to his fate at the moment. Answer your name honestly.
Sean's eyes flashed with a golden light. The rupee data was quickly presented to Sean, which made Sean slightly satisfied. At least in this regard, the rupee did not intend to hide anything, but chose to tell the truth.
[Name: Rupee]
[Race: Human]
[Combat Class: Rogue (3rd Order)]
[Personal attributes-force amount: 18 (28); Endurance: 19 (34); Dexterity: 23 (34); Wisdom: 15(27); Will: 19 (34)]
Although it had long been known that Ruby's innate ability should be considered very good, when the data fed back by the True Eye emerged, Sean was still a little surprised. The current stats in the personal stats are not very good for the lower bronze. But it's really about Ruby's nutrition and personal workouts, which veteran gamers like Sean don't care about at all, what they really care about is a character's potential.
In terms of taking the rupee's personal attributes, when his potential is fully exploited. The three attributes of endurance, agility, and will can be as high as thirty-four points, which is relatively high in the level of the lower bronze. Even those children of nobility are unlikely to be much better than the rupee in terms of potential, and may even be inferior.
In other words, Ruby is the second genius Sean has seen in the more than two years he has been in this world, almost three years.
Alfred is a powerful character in the game, but he has grown up on hard work and the drive for revenge, and he is not considered a genius; And Rena, strictly speaking, she is not a genius, as for why she will embark on the growth route of a sharpshooter or even a holy spear knight, Sean can't say clearly; As for Anno, it was because of the problem of racial boundaries that he was destined to become a strong man. In addition, the Aldolf, Stalin, Nock, etc. encountered in Panda Ling can only be regarded as potential commander-type talents, and it is obviously impossible to become an enemy of a thousand people or an enemy of ten thousand.
There's no denying that William and Neil are also geniuses.
It's just that William is a commander-type genius, while Neil is a lord-type genius, and these two people happen to be a military and an internal affair, and they also have nothing to do with force.
So strictly speaking, Ruby is really the second talent with great potential that Sean has seen after Cecilia.
Judging from Ruby's current personal attribute potential, there are at least three paths that are suitable for his future growth alone: the Magic Rogue route that targets the treasure hunter, the assassin who specializes in assassination, and even the Bard's development path.
Sean rubbed his chin and looked at Ruby with an immediate softening gaze, for he was missing a magic thief to help him with the underground magic lab located in the Gap Rift.
Of course, this softness was for Sean, and in Ruby's eyes, that is, he instantly felt the malice from the world.
"You...... You...... You...... What do you want! Ruby shrank back cautiously and fearfully, even though he knew that there was no place to hide, but Ruby still wanted to hide himself, and he felt that the man was looking at him. It's horrible.
"How about we make a deal?" Sean spoke.
"I don't think there's anything to talk about between us." Ruby shook his head, "It doesn't matter how authoritative you are in the outside world, as long as you enter the Savage Land, you must abide by the rules here. Now you broke the rules first, and you hurt so many brothers in our Thieves' Guild, even if the Thieves' Guild doesn't trouble you, Master Billy will definitely not let you go, he hates others challenging his authority the most. ”
"Who's Billy?" Sean turned his head to look at Andre.
"It's the chief trader here. At the same time, he is also a strong man who sits in the Wind Chasing Tribe. "Every trade point has a trade chief, who is the one who sets the rules of the whole trade point, including the price of goods or the permission of trade rights. It's up to them to decide. …… However, not every trader is a strong man, and Master Billy is one of the few exceptions. ”
Cecilia suddenly spoke: "In other words, as long as you kill him, then the trade point of the Wind Chaser Tribe will fall into chaos?" ”
Andrei thought for a moment before replying, "Not necessarily. Although Lord Billy killed the words. It is true that the Windchaser Tribe will fall into chaos due to the loss of the strong man's seat, but after all, there is still an elite armed force. Unless the entire Trade Point slave catchers are willing to join forces. Otherwise, it is impossible to compete with them. …… But I don't think anyone wants to offend the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce. ”
"Not necessarily." Sean smiled, but his expression was obviously a lot colder, "We leave here immediately now, it's enough to give him face, if he still has to go to war with us, then I don't mind picking this trade point." ”
Ruby looked at Sean and the others with a look of horror. He really couldn't imagine anyone who would dare to talk about killing the trade chief so indifferently.
In his eyes, Billy, the trade chief at the pinnacle of gold, was an existence he could only look up to.
It is important to know that the gap between the upper silver and the lower gold is by no means a simple quantification of the same level. The gap between the master and the strong is a qualitative change. In other words, if a powerhouse with a lower rank of gold is willing, he can easily kill more than a dozen masters of the peak of silver, and if he doesn't have this kind of strength, how can he sit in a trading point in a place like the wilderness?
And don't say that Billy, the chief trader, is the powerhouse of the next golden pinnacle, but behind him is the behemoth of the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance!
This behemoth has the ability that even the Thieves Guild does not want to provoke easily.
"Hey, I'm talking about you." Sean continued to hit Ruby, "How about joining me?" I need a magic thief right now. Of course, you won't be able to help me with your current situation, but you can rest assured that I'll ask Cecilia to teach you something about magic and make you an official magic thief. ”
Hearing Sean's words, Cecilia, Tiny, and Andre reacted immediately.
"Are you sure he can do it?" Cecilia asked, a little confused.
"It's a bit of potential." Sean replied, "Isn't that magic trap easy anyway?" ”
"It's not difficult, but it's a relatively old magic trap, even if he becomes a magic thief, he can't solve it in a short time, and he needs to learn the corresponding ancient magic knowledge." When it comes to the topic of magic, Cecilia seems to have changed as a person, and the whole person immediately becomes serious and serious.
"It's okay, anyway, we won't go back in the next few months, take advantage of this time to teach well, learn as much as you can."
"Okay." Cecilia nodded, just as curious about what was hidden in the magic lab. However, if you hire a magic thief, the secrecy is unlikely to be perfect, so instead of hiring a magic thief, it is better to let Sean cultivate one himself.
It's just that Cecilia really didn't think that the young man in front of her could become a magic thief.
Ruby, on the other hand, looked at Sean and the others with a dumbfounded face, he watched the other party discuss his future in front of him, which made him feel very awkward, shouldn't they ask his opinion first?
"When did I promise to join your command!" Rupee protested.
"Really?" Sean raised an eyebrow, "Since you don't intend to, then you're worthless." Not...... It's also a waste of food for such people to carry it, so let's just solve it here. ”
"Actually, my lord, you misunderstood, I'm just a little worried that I will live up to your high expectations for me." Ruby's face changed to the climate of the Wild Land, "It is indeed my honor to be able to serve you, my lord. ”
"It's okay, I'm a lot more generous." Sean smiled, but this smile once again made Ruby feel the malice of the world.
Just then, the hammer had returned.
It's just that he brought bad news that Sean didn't want to hear: "My lord, we are surrounded." (To be continued......)
PS: Today is Tanabata, hmm...... Can you feel my strong malice? Looking at the screen, can you see the dark resentment? …… As much as I wanted to say this, I still couldn't say things like "show affection and love quickly", "I wish there are lovers in the world who will eventually become brothers and sisters", "I can't buy a place in the cinema", "I don't have a room when I open a house". Alas, I'm still too kind.
