The Thieves' Guild is not very popular in the civilized world, especially for the residents of Faerûn. A thief who joins the guild and a thief with a seductive body can be marked with two completely different labels. Fang Yi was well aware of this, so before talking to the young boy in front of him, he wisely removed the Astorian emblem and threw it into his bag.

"Little brother, do you know if there's a building called 'Jim's Warehouse' here?" Fang Yi forced a smile, which he thought was his most sunny, and gently asked the boy in front of him.

The boy was clearly startled by the strange uncle with a weapon at his waist and a fierce appearance, and took a step back in fear. However, as if he remembered something, he immediately raised his toy wooden sword, closed his eyes, and shouted shrilly, "It's you again, you despicable thieves! I'll teach you a lesson, just like this!"

The boy kept waving his wooden sword at Fang Yi, and the freckles on his face became more noticeable as his nose wrinkled. Fang Yi, looking at the obviously seven or eight-year-old boy, couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. What the hell, if only he had brought Xiao Yao or Cai Sang along.

A passerby saw the situation and quickly came over to hold the boy back, smiling apologetically at Fang Yi and quickly pulling the boy into the alley.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Fang Yi reluctantly took out several silver coins and asked the guard for the information he wanted. In the Dragon Coast, a region without a unified government or capital, chaos and evil are not afraid to show their sharp claws. On his way, Fang Yi had already seen several groups of lizardman mercenaries, and even two drow elves! Here, he, a 9th-level thief, was not enough to stand out.

Fortunately, he finally reached his destination before sunset, but what he saw... was this really a warehouse? The old door was already broken into three pieces, leaning crookedly at the entrance, and the gray stone walls were covered with various graffiti, presenting a scene of utter decay. After confirming that the lizardman guard had not misled him, Fang Yi looked at the dilapidated high wall by the river and stroked his chin with interest—warehouses are the common property of merchants; who would dare to defy the world and do such a thing?

However, now was not the time to observe the warehouse. After a thorough search around the warehouse, Fang Yi finally found the wine cellar that Karl had mentioned—right next to the back door of a bakery next to "Jim's Warehouse." The entrance was on the slope of the riverbank, and under normal circumstances, it could only be seen from the forest on the opposite side of the river. Of course, this was no problem for the experienced Fang Yi. However, looking at the open and eerie entrance of the wine cellar, Fang Yi instinctively felt something was wrong.

At this moment, in a dark room somewhere in the city, Fang Yi's "superior," Green Robe Karl, was standing in the center of the room, bowing deeply. With Karl as the dividing line, the orange light of the sunset was behind him, while in front of him was only darkness. Here, light and darkness were truly separated by a thin line.

"Did the thief enter?" A voice from the shadows said, the dry and stiff Common Tongue sounding like syllables勉强拼凑在一起,让人听了异常难受。

“是的,大人。”卡尔将身体弯得更低,睁大眼睛盯着自己的脚尖,虽然那里只是一片虚无,“只是一个替死鬼罢了。”

“组织的计划不能有半点延误,卡尔,你知道办事不利的人应有的下场——暗夜之王万岁!”

“暗夜之王万岁!”

卡尔将身体伏得更低,整个人几乎都趴在了地上,披在背上的鲜红色斗篷微微倾斜,隐隐露出了原本不应该出现在人类身上的粗壮的、被鳞片包裹的尾巴。

小心谨慎永远不会有错,这一点方奕深信不疑。

众多星辰的身影渐渐出现在东方的天空,在泰席尔上空遮上了一片黑幕。把盗贼三宝:聆听、侦查和侦测陷阱都挂在身上,方奕熟练地进入潜行状态,走进了酒窖,任由另一片黑暗将自己的身形吞没。

穿着淡蓝色睡衣的女孩儿走出卧室,双手撑着橡木栏杆,任由初生的阳光恣意轻抚着白皙的脸庞。

女孩儿看着天边的朝霞,惬意地翘起双脚,伸了个懒腰:美好的一天呢~~莫采桑开心地想到。

“喂喂,我在问你呢~!”卧室里此时却传来了不满的嘟囔声,只穿着一套火红色内衣的短发美女很快大步走了出来,微皱着鼻子说道,“这都过去四年了,你真的确定那个方块就是当初救你的那个男孩儿?”

“嗯。。。没错!在《战神》里他选的是蛮族战士,当时那种熟悉的感觉并不明显。现在他应该是套用的现实中的体格,虽然长相有变化,不过我不会认错的。”莫采桑回头看了看穿着大胆的闺蜜,认真地说。

段小瑶,也就是游戏中的黑山小妖走到阳台的边缘,用手指拢了拢凌乱的短发,不过很快放弃了把它们摆弄整齐的想法,“那就算确定是他,又怎么样?你还想以身相许么?”段小瑶嘿嘿地笑道。

莫采桑回头横了对方一眼,轻握粉拳威胁似地挥了挥,只是敌不过对方依然那没心没肺的笑容,只能摇了摇头,看着围墙边茂盛的梧桐树,好像在喃喃自语一般,“我只知道假如错过了这个机会,我会遗憾一辈子。”

《神迹》中的实时任务演化系统人尽皆知,方奕来之前这里可能只是个破旧不堪的无用角落,但稍微有点经验的玩家都能猜到这里多半是个任务地点,只是没人触发剧情罢了。

所以虽然走远了然后潜行绕回来才进入了酒窖,也难保附近会有有心的玩家盯着这个隐秘的地点——方奕谨慎地在门口放了个简单的预精陷阱,三尺长的细线刚好拦住门口:没有伤害也没有闪光,不过一旦有人在方奕身后试图进入酒窖,清脆的铃声便能第一时间提醒方奕。

其实最好是放个魔法传递陷阱,这样就能避免被对方发现陷阱而占得先机。可惜魔法陷阱的前置技能是制作奇物,要到施法者协会或者矮人工艺大厅去学习——遗憾的是最近的学习地点也在东边百里之外的西门,所以方奕只能凑合在细绳上挂了两个铃铛。

微微弯着腰,方奕一边前进一边左右打量:这个地下酒窖的规模并不大,纵向呈长条形,一排排硕大的木制酒桶零散地码放在不足百步长的甬道两侧,覆盖着一层薄薄的灰尘,各种杂物随意地散落在地面上,但可以看出废弃的时间并不是很长。

方奕拔出武器,停下了脚步仔细观察着四周,片刻后目光便停在了倒在地上的酒具架上。方奕蹲在地上,用手指摸了摸木料上的断口——嫩白的断茬,最近这里有过打斗?

此时方奕心中突现精兆,正要后退,眼角余光却突然扫到一条灰影在右侧一闪而过,猛然转头却发现那里只有一个斜靠在墙角的酒桶。

“是的,我喜欢黑暗。

黑暗能给我安全感,而阳光,会使我不安。

主人命令我守住这里的入口,不能让‘任何东西’通过。而我不负使命,那些时不时溜进洞穴的人类、老鼠和矮人都成了我的猎物,而且说实话,味道都还不错。现在,又一个莽撞的冒险者进入了我的领地,看起来有点儿瘦,不过应该很有嚼头——晚餐时间到。”

*飞蛋今天下午时候在总榜上找书看时偶然发现,起点还有个新人作者新书榜。点进游戏榜后竟然在榜单上发现了秘银王座的名字,激动了半天。虽然是个没人看的小榜单,虽然成绩永远也超不过前边那些动辄几万点的神书,飞蛋还是厚颜肯定各位读者多多点击,尽量收藏,觉得不错就给个推荐。让鄙作在榜单上前进几名,满足一下飞蛋的虚荣心吧~捏蛤蛤蛤~谁仍的鸡蛋?*晚上还有一更,睡的晚的童鞋可以第一时间看到最新情节。

With Karl as the dividing line, the orange light of the sunset was behind him, while in front of him was only darkness. Here, light and darkness were truly separated by a thin line.

"Did the thief enter?" A voice from the shadows said, the dry and stiff Common Tongue sounding like syllables barely pieced together, making it very uncomfortable to hear.

"Yes, my lord," Karl bowed even lower, staring at his feet, which were just a void, "just another scapegoat."

"The organization's plan cannot be delayed, Karl. You know the fate of those who fail—Long live the King of the Dark Night!"

"Long live the King of the Dark Night!"

Karl bowed even lower, almost lying on the ground, the bright red cloak on his back tilting slightly, revealing a thick, scaly tail that should not be on a human.

Caution is always the best policy, and Fang Yi firmly believed this.

The stars gradually appeared in the eastern sky, casting a black curtain over Tashyr. Equipped with the three essential skills of a thief—listening, scouting, and trap detection—Fang Yi skillfully entered stealth mode and walked into the wine cellar, allowing the darkness to swallow his figure.

A girl in a light blue nightgown walked out of her bedroom, leaning on the oak railing, letting the early morning sun caress her pale face.

The girl looked at the sunrise, stretching her legs and yawning contentedly: What a beautiful day, Mo Caisang thought happily.

"Hey, I'm asking you!" A dissatisfied murmur came from the bedroom, and a short-haired beauty in a fiery red lingerie quickly walked out, wrinkling her nose, "It's been four years, are you really sure that 'cube' is the boy who saved you back then?"

"Um... yes! In 'God of War,' he chose the barbarian warrior, and the familiar feeling wasn't very strong at the time. Now, he seems to be using his real-life physique, even though his appearance has changed, I won't be wrong," Mo Caisang replied seriously, looking back at her daringly dressed friend.

Duan Xiaoyao, also known as the Black Mountain Sprite in the game, walked to the edge of the balcony, trying to tidy her messy short hair but quickly giving up, "So what if it's him? Are you still going to offer yourself to him?" Duan Xiaoyao chuckled.

Mo Caisang glared at her, clenching her fists as if to threaten, but couldn't resist the other's carefree smile, so she just shook her head and looked at the lush sycamore trees by the wall, as if talking to herself, "I just know that if I miss this chance, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

The real-time task evolution system in 'Miracle' is well-known. Before Fang Yi arrived, this place might have been just a dilapidated and useless corner, but experienced players could guess that it was likely a quest location, just not triggered yet.

So even though he walked far and then stealthily circled back to enter the wine cellar, there might still be players watching this hidden location—Fang Yi carefully set a simple pre-precision trap at the entrance, a three-foot-long thin line blocking the door: no damage, no flash, but a clear bell sound would alert Fang Yi if someone tried to enter the wine cellar behind him.

Ideally, he would have set a magic transmission trap to avoid being detected, but the prerequisite skill for magic traps is crafting wondrous items, which he would have to learn at the Spellcaster's Guild or the Dwarven Craft Hall—unfortunately, the nearest learning location was a hundred miles to the east, so Fang Yi could only hang two bells on the thin rope.

Bending slightly, Fang Yi moved forward, looking around: the underground wine cellar was not very large, long and narrow, with large wooden barrels scattered on both sides of the hundred-foot-long corridor, covered in a thin layer of dust, and various debris scattered on the ground, but it didn't look like it had been abandoned for long.

Fang Yi drew his weapon, stopped, and carefully observed the surroundings. After a moment, his gaze fell on the overturned wine rack. Fang Yi squatted down, touching the broken wood with his fingers—fresh, white breaks, had there been a fight here recently?

At that moment, Fang Yi felt a sudden premonition and was about to retreat when he caught a glimpse of a gray shadow flashing by on the right. He turned his head sharply but saw only a wine barrel leaning against the wall.

"Yes, I like the darkness.

The darkness gives me a sense of security, while sunlight makes me uneasy.

My master ordered me to guard the entrance here, not letting 'anything' pass. I have fulfilled my mission, and those who occasionally sneak into the cave—humans, rats, and dwarves—have all become my prey, and to be honest, they all taste pretty good. Now, another reckless adventurer has entered my territory, looking a bit thin, but should be quite chewy—dinner time."

*Feidan, while looking for books on the main list this afternoon, accidentally discovered that Qidian has a new author's new book list. When he clicked into the game category, he surprisingly found the name of 'Mithril Throne' on the list, and was excited for a long time. Although it's a small list with few readers, and the performance will never surpass the god books with tens of thousands of points, Feidan still hopes that readers will click more, collect if possible, and give a recommendation if you think it's good. Let my work advance a few places on the list to satisfy my vanity~ Haha, who threw the egg?
