Chapter 46 Theft Case
Dadadada....
The gentle and relaxing sound of horse hooves came from outside the car window.
The Victorian Gothic architecture retreats outside along with the bustling crowds.
In the luxurious carriage, there is a layer of soft wool blanket on the ground, and a small table with fragrant red wine and two goblet cups on it. Butler Sean took the initiative to pour the wine, fully demonstrating his sincerity.
Surman glanced at the table, and the goblet cup that had obviously poured red wine but did not fluctuate significantly. He couldn't help but exclaim: "The coachman's skills are very good."
"It is his honor to get your praise." Butler Sean raised his glass and signaled.
Surman returned to raise his glass, but did not rush to drink it, but got to the point: "Is there any accident happening in the preparation of the auction?"
Housekeeper Sean paused and answered his question in silence.
really.......
Surman nodded secretly. If it weren't for an accident in the preparation of the auction, with the status of Shaun's housekeeper, even if he wanted to win over Surman, he wouldn't need to be so attentive. After all, the ancient nobles also mastered some professional rituals, and the direct members of their family were extraordinary people with strange abilities. However, they lacked fighting and experience, they were better than the silver hunter who fought out from life and death.
“Yes, we have a precious collection that has been stolen…”
Housekeeper Sean sighed softly and began to tell the reason-
"That is a precious thing from the Second Era. An oil painting is said to be drawn by ancient nobles, which records the secret of "life". If the above meaning can be understood, it is said that the person can obtain a gift, which will last longer than a normal person. Of course, no one can interpret the oil painting so far, and we don't know whether this rumor is true."
"Although, we call ourselves ancient nobles."
Speaking of this, Butler Sean spread his hands and said helplessly: "But in fact, not only the three major families in Gangdian City, but also within the same area as the ruins of the Sith, there is another civilized city-state, Solan City.
Even outside the remnants of the Sith, other civilized city-states... including us, most of the ancient aristocrats were born in the early years of the Third Age. We were all part of the ancient aristocrats, perhaps the children of illegitimate children or the relatives of the family."
"A family that truly inherited everything from ancient nobles and has not been cut off from the Second Era... As far as I know, it is probably only the central city-state of the northern cold soil, all the hubs, the church of the Snow Sacrifice Church - Lin Xue City, or the holy city of the War Church, and the Ukiyo-e Palace at the southernmost end of the Cold soil. These two places have their traces, and the nobles who truly survived from ancient times."
Surman nodded gently, understood what Housekeeper Sean really meant, so he confirmed:
"You mean, you don't have the foundation to confirm the content of the oil painting, nor can you interpret the above meaning."
"But that doesn't prevent its tempting value."
"Other ancient nobles like you cannot unravel the secret for the time being, but they are willing to pay the price and even bid for each other to win this treasure at the Northern auction... Unfortunately, you lost that auction item."
Housekeeper Sean's face was hot and he gently reminded: "Mr. Surman, you don't have to speak so directly. As ancient nobles, if we trace the roots, we can essentially be considered part of the 'Sis' nobles, including the other two families in the Gangdian City."
We may not be a direct line, and we may have some shortcomings in our background, but strictly speaking, we also have a long family history.”
The Sith family, which was the heyday of the Second Era, ruled the real masters of this land. They were ancient nobles who were destroyed at the end of the Second Era. Because of this, this place is also called the "Sis Remaining Land".
The meaning is that the ruling territory left by the Sith nobles includes another civilized city-state, Solan City. The ancient nobles in their city-state are also some of the divisions of the Sith nobles, or clones of the secular blood. Their source is the Sith nobles.
In the cold soil of the north, it is not uncommon to divide the remains named after ancient aristocrats. They are numerous, just like the stars in the starry sky surrounding the center, as the absolute center of the church, the top city-state where they are located.
It is worth mentioning that Surman was on the edge of the penalty area he stepped into on the snowfield - the Ruins of Yattu.
That place was the ruling center of the Sith nobles of the past. The city of Yattu radiated the entire territory with the city of Yattu. However, it has now become the ruins of Yattu, and the Sith nobles of the former were already destroyed...
"Indeed, what I said was too direct..." Surman nodded in agreement, but the words said made Housekeeper Sean unable to refute: "After all, I am a bounty hunter with rude behavior and lack of knowledge, and I am not as good as a true nobleman in his background.
If there is any offense, I hope Housekeeper Sean won’t mind.”
He was rude...Shawn Butler glanced at the other party. His delicate appearance as a girl, his elegant temperament, and carefully combed formal clothes. Except for the fact that the material of the dress is not expensive, almost, Butler Shane couldn't tell the other party's faults.
Even if he said he was an ancient noble, Housekeeper Sean would not doubt it. He was even more aristocratic than the descendants of the Kano family. Such a person, who said he was a bounty hunter who was "rude" and lacked culture, felt awkward.
Fortunately, this topic has not continued-
"So, you want me to help recover the stolen goods?" Surman asked.
"No!"
Surprisingly, the housekeeper Shaun shook his head and explained: "The reason I came to find you in person is not for the stolen property, but for the damn guy, Gu... he actually sent another preview letter, staying in our warehouse, claiming to steal it again!"
"This is the majesty of despising the ancient nobles!"
"Even the Zhengshen Church, they would not dare to do this in the city of Gangdian!"
The somewhat excited Butler Sean beat the surface of the small table and almost splashed out red wine.
Are all the thieves of this era so bold......Surman was a little confused. He never expected that after the preparation of the heavily guarded auction, the perpetrator dared to leave a trust and threatened to steal it again? This...... Hiss, was it because of the professional ritual? Surman was shocked. With experience in his previous life, he knew the promotion process of the seven major professions.
At the first moment, he was reminded of the professional ritual!
The so-called vocational ritual is a bit similar to the 'trial'. The promotion rituals of each profession are different. Moreover, the main materials and contents of these rituals are also secrets held by major churches or ancient nobles.
In the early stage of the game, in order to obtain the ritual, players went through hardships, and some people were still stuck in their strength by the ritual.
The reason why Surman chose the Night Knight was that he knew about the knight profession, all the rituals before the ‘demigod’. On the contrary, he didn’t know much about other professions and promotion rituals, and no one would contribute free of charge on the forum.
For example, Surman knew the early rituals of the mage profession, that is, the content of the rituals below level three, but he didn't know any further. Those were the secrets of the major guilds - the most core secrets.
They recruit core members by relying on the content of professional rituals to absorb game experts. And everyone must sign electronic contracts under the witness of the Apocalypse Master's Brain, and the "ritual content" is not allowed to be disclosed to the public. From another perspective, the player guild in the previous life was quite similar to the righteous god church, and relied on electronic contracts/divine contracts to restrain members. Of course, at the level of strength, the two are not the same magnitude.
If Surman had chosen another profession, he would have to find a way to obtain the ritual content of other professions in the future. On the contrary, on the road of the Night Knight, he only had to think about obtaining the main materials and didn't have to worry about the ritual content. This was his rebirth advantage.
Main materials, ritual content, and character strength (one maximum deputy or two maximum skills), these are the three major conditions for promotion. As long as all of them are met, you can be promoted successfully.
It seemed that the other party looked like a person who held a "professional ceremony"... Surman muttered in his heart, he was not very sure about this.
Because the requirements for professional rituals in the lower stages are very broad and the methods of completion are varied. Unlike higher-level rituals, the more they go up, the stricter the requirements for the rituals, and the more unified everyone's behavior tends to be.
For example, Surman knew about a promotion ceremony about the Sun Knight, which was limited to the second level. When she was about to advance to the second level, in addition to the main material, she also needed to hold a "Sun Glow" content, which was specifically expressed as-
Through your actions, let more than twenty people in the goal, feel the sun's brilliance and repent from the heart.
The higher the target strength, the better the ritual effect. If there are extraordinary people, the number of people can be reduced appropriately.
This is the content of "Sun Radiance", which is very broad and requires many ways to complete it. For example, let the Sun Knight learn a dancer's secondary profession, which corresponds to the talent that can deceive enemies and turn them into fools who can only praise the sun.
For example, if the Sun Knights are allowed to mix into the confessional chamber of the church, everyone who goes to the confessional chamber must sincerely confess. As long as the Sun Knights let them confess, they can see the sunlight coming out of the crack in the window...
For example, the Sun Knight has the secondary profession of "psychologist". As long as you learn a derivative skill of "awakening guilt", you can activate your talent. The concept of the goal is distorted, and all acts that violate broad morality will greatly increase the guilt that will affect the other party's mind and repent from the heart... This is a very evil way to complete it.
The Sun Knight does not mean true kindness. In this world full of extraordinary and weirdness, the name is just their appearance.
No conclusions can be made, maybe the other party is a psychologically distorted thief......Surmann is not in a hurry to make a definition, and is preparing to wait for the scene to see the traces before drawing a conclusion.
"So, my mission is to defend another treasure at the auction, the target of the thief?"
“Yes, but not accurate enough.”
At this time, the luxury carriage happened to stop. Butler Sean pushed open the car door and guided him into the hall of hope through the side door. At the same time, he explained seriously: "It is not only your task, but also the Moslian family, the Kano family, the Bieler family... and the Snow Sacrifice Church. In addition to the natural shelter of the rituals, he cannot send people due to his duties."
"In the entire city of Gangdian, all the ancient nobles and the church of the Lord God..."
“Everyone will be involved.”
