“So, why did you come here this time?” The female thief’s face sank into the hood again. “Is it to learn more skills or to pursue deeper shadows?”
Upon hearing the words of the female thief, Seuss automatically translated them in his mind into “Learning skills or advancing class.”
It couldn’t be helped. The NPCs in Sanctuary all spoke in this way. Seuss had already adapted to it by now. As long as he was chatting with the NPCs, he would also use this method of conversation.
Although he could be understood by NPCs when he spoke normally, if he imitated the way NPCs spoke, he might be able to increase his favorability, even if it was just a little!
“In order to pursue deeper shadows, I need to learn more skills,” Seuss said to the female thief.
Since I’m already here, of course I want all of them. Do I have the need to make a few more trips?
“In that case, I’ll show you a deeper shadow first.” The female thief looked up and stared into Seuss’s eyes..
In a trance, Seuss seemed to have entered a fantasy zone. It was a grassy plain, with a gentle breeze blowing across the grass that reached his knees. The green plain rose and fell like waves.
The female thief, still wearing her gray cloak, stood opposite Seuss.
Suddenly, the female thief disappeared in front of Seuss as if she had entered an unknown space.
This was entering stealth mode. Seuss naturally knew one of the most famous skills of the thieves.
He carefully searched the area where the female thief had just disappeared, but Seuss did not find any traces of her. There were no signs of tracks from the swaying grass.
This meant every time she landed, she was stepping in the direction of the wind.
Initially, the Stealth skill of the thieves was very disadvantageous on the plains as one did not disappear and could only be considered to be invisible. However, the female thief was indeed a thief on the same level as Lancelot. She did not leave even a trace on the plains.
A silent flash of light cut across Seuss’s neck, and Seuss knew he was dead.
Even until the female thief came to Seuss’s face, he did not detect any traces.
“This is the Tempest Thief. They move silently with the wind.” The female thief appeared in her original place once again. Seuss had also revived and was standing on the same spot.
After the female thief finished speaking, she did not give Seuss any chance to speak. She swiped her left hand at her waist and took out another dagger.
With a reverse grip and a proper grip, the female thief’s body was filled with red light which covered the two weapons.
In an instant, the female thief charged at Seuss. She was extremely fast, at least much faster than any raging bull Seuss had ever seen.
With the reverse dagger in her left hand, she swung it towards Seuss’s neck. In Seuss’s hand, he held the Teachings of the Assassin.
Ding!
A crisp sound was heard. This was the sound of the two daggers colliding. However, Seuss could only block this move because the knife in the female thief’s right hand had also stabbed over.
This time, there was nothing in Seuss’s hands that could stop it. When the dagger plunged into Seuss’s forehead, Seuss understood that this was Gouge.
Then darkness struck and Seuss lost consciousness.
After that, after an unknown period of time, Seuss woke up. In front of him was the ceiling of the Class Hall. He had already come out of that fantasy zone and was lying in the Class Hall.
The female thief sat beside Seuss and said after seeing he had woken up.
“What you had just experienced are the two types of shadows of thieves. The latter is the Blood Thief. They have stronger head-on combat abilities.”
“That’s two different kinds of shadow powers. The power I had shown was at the same level as you.”
Looking at the game interface, it had been more than two hours since Seuss entered the Class hall. That short fantasy zone had actually taken two hours. Of course, it was also possible that he had been unconscious for two hours.
“I want to pursue the power of the wind and become an honor in the deepest part of the shadows.” Seuss did not hesitate.
Blood Thief was indeed stronger than Tempest Thief in terms of direct combat ability. However, if he wanted to fight head-on, why not just play as a warrior?
The initial reason why Seuss had chosen thieves was because they could escape into the shadows and travel across the land.
“Very well.” Seuss often did not know whether the words that came out of the female thief’s mouth were good or bad, because her tone was always so cold.
Just as the female thief finished speaking, a window appeared in front of him. There were five quests on it.
Class Advancement Quest of Tempest Thief.
Easy: Steal the dark skull of the Depraved Wizard Camp.
Hard: Steal the cub of a long mane lion.
Nightmare: Assassinate the leader of the bandits, Manka.
Expert: Steal the troop deployment plans of the Seth Fortress.
Legendary: Assassinate Monks·Blacksun.
Seuss was stunned when he saw the five quests. Apart from the Depraved Wizard Camp, Seuss knew nothing else.
However, he knew a little about the target of the legendary quest, because Blacksun was the surname of the imperial family of the Sindore Empire.
A level-10 Class Advancement Quest was actually to assassinate the royal family of the Sindore Empire?
Seuss had never even thought about such a thing. It was ridiculous!
There was nothing he could do about it. If he couldn’t answer the question, he could ask for outside help. It wasn’t embarrassing.
“Brother Daydreamer, what difficulty do you think I should choose for my Class Advancement Quest?”
Seuss might not be able to find out who was most well-informed, but when it came to connections, it had to be Daydreamer.
When Seuss first met him, he said that he basically knew everyone who entered the closed beta!
If he wanted to find out anything, it would be best to look for him.
“Class Advancement Quest? Wait for me to ask around?” After Daydreamer said that, nothing happened for quite some time.
Seuss continued to wait in the Class Hall for Daydreamer to reply. The female thief was not in a hurry, because apart from a few people who came to learn skills occasionally, no one else came.
Finally, Seuss’s game interface rang.
“Brother Stars, I got the answer for you.” As expected, Daydreamer didn’t disappoint Seuss.
“You are the first to reach level 10, so there is no need to consider the easy and hard difficulty levels. As for the legendary quest, it’s pretty much impossible for anyone to complete it.”
“The royal family of a hostile country, and an actual royalty to boot. Not to mention level 10, even a level 30 wouldn’t be able to complete that Class Advancement Quest.”
“Then there are only two options left, either Nightmare or Expert. If you want to pass the quest quickly, choose Nightmare. However, I personally suggest that you choose Expert. The returns from quests of different difficulty are completely different.”
“Even if you waste some time now, with your leveling speed, it will be easy for you to catch up.”
Daydreamer had sent him a bunch of messages at once, but no one knew where he had gotten them from.
After reading it, Seuss made his decision.
“I’ll choose the expert quest to steal the troop deployment plans of Seth Fortress,” Seuss said to the female thief.
Even if he spent a few days completing this quest, Seuss believed that he could catch up.
The Gift from the Ruler of Time allowed him to double his time. Under such a disparity, no matter what disadvantage he had, he would be able to make up for it.
Of course, he had to give up on assassinating Monks·Blacksun. It was normal for a powerful royal family like Sindore to be protected by a team of professionals above level 60.
Trying to assassinate him?
In his dreams!
