Son of the Olden Days

At the moment after hearing Shuggs's answer, Thor's fingers tremble suddenly, and he shifted some distance from the dagger around his waist, but in the end he tried his best to restrain it.

At this moment, although Shuggs turned his back to him, with the usual cunning of the thieves, Saul knew that it was definitely not a flaw to underestimate the enemy.

The opponent's seemingly leisurely hands hug his chest, as long as he makes a little movement, Shuggs's sagging wrist will be able to immediately pull out the waistband's weapon and enter the battle.

As far as the combat level is concerned, Sol knows that he has a small chance of winning, or even not.

Although there is not much difference in body shape, they are all thin and weak types, but they have no actual combat experience, let alone master any combat skills. And since Hughes dared to wander alone on the dark street, he must have enough confidence.

The more important thing is that even if you let go and even get rid of Shuggs in the end, what Sol can't tell is whether the other party has any accomplices waiting outside, because Shuggs mentioned in the content of the task just now. 'this phrase.

If this alarms the Thieves Guild, the situation will only be more troublesome.

Perhaps besides killing Shuggs, he could still exchange some benefits for temporary peace, but Thor knew his embarrassment with nothing. And if you hand over the black fish you just got, the source of the fish will inevitably be exposed. There is no doubt that the series of expectations that you have just spawned will definitely be over, and everything will be taken away in the end.

For a short while, Thor quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind.

Just when Shuggs was about to take another step, Thor suddenly raised his head and shouted.

"Wait a minute!"

Hearing Saul's voice, Shuggs, who turned his back to Saul, flicked a smug smile.

In fact, no matter what Sol's reaction is, it is in his expectation, because Shuggs has talked about these so-called guild missions to more than one person on different occasions.

Since the famine, Shuggs has been looking for ordinary people who are alone in the dark, and these guys often have no power to rely on.

After discovering the other party, Shuggs will follow and observe silently like a hunter.

Excluding the hungry and red-eyed ruthless people and desperadoes, for those who are timid and weak, Shuggs will timely display the banner of the Thieves Guild, threatening the other party to hand over some food or benefits in exchange for peace.

For Saul, Shuggs didn't bother to make too many complicated preparations.

When he saw this idiot running through his field of vision braggingly under a rainstorm, Shuggs, who was hiding under a certain roof to avoid the rain, felt that he was lucky today, so he decisively followed.

Regardless of combat or mental tactics, Shuggs is far from focusing on such a small role as Thor.

He knew exactly what Sol was like in the monastery, and he was confident that no orphan in the monastery would be his opponent.

Shuggs really enjoyed this feeling of controlling people's hearts. He didn't even need to resort to force. He only used words to hint at others, unearth the anxiety in others' hearts, and then magnify it.

Let others consciously contribute their benefits, this is the real blackmail art.

Oh, the word art was learned by Shuggs in the guild.

Veteran thieves usually use it to describe a beautiful and neat shot, but unfortunately, because of the current status of Shuggs, he is not qualified to have access to those high-end combat skills, so he can only embody this elegant realm from other aspects. .

The Thieves Guild originally did not allow Shuggs to take advantage of this personal behavior, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for the guild.

However, Shuggs is very good at grasping all aspects of the measure. Apart from leaving a small part of his usual gains to maintain his own survival, all the other gains were dedicated to the guild, and finally in exchange for the high-level acquiescence.

Shuggs believes that as long as he survives this disaster, his status in the Thieves Guild will be improved by contributing, and he will definitely be able to take off his probationary hat and enter the ranks of official thieves.

Hearing Thor's obstruction, Shuggs stopped again, turned around and looked at Thor with a playful look, waiting for Thor's challenge or compromise.

The two people stared at each other across the stump, and the atmosphere at the bottom of the well gradually became heavy.

This seems to be just a confrontation between two children in their early tens, but they never think of each other as children.

The difficult world has already taught them to fight wits and courage when robbing adults for benefits, and they have already had their own unique insights when it comes to appreciating the opposite sex.

Perhaps many children at the age of wealthy families on the mainland are still enjoying their childhood with peace of mind under the protection of their parents, but orphans are different.

If you can't adapt to rapid growth, no one will wait until you grow up to harvest your head as long as there are benefits or necessary.

"Actually I just got a fish, so I want to invite you to dinner so that we can have a good chat. I've been fed up with this **** quiet all these days."

In the end, Saul seemed to have chosen to compromise, and his tone was faintly flattering.

While talking, he took out a half candle and stood it on the stump, lighting it with flint.

The flickering candlelight dissipated the darkness at the bottom of the well, leaving the shadow of two people flaring their teeth and claws on the wall.

The space at the bottom of the well seems to be quite spacious. A few short clay pots with broken edges and gaps stand on the wall. In the corners are piles of indistinguishable junk-like debris, a pile of rags used as beds and a messy spread of old clothes. On the ground.

These tatters did not arouse Shuggs' interest in the slightest.

But when he saw Sol holding up a fresh fish from behind, Shuggs' eyes jumped. Although he expected Thor to have more or less inventory, he didn't expect it to be really good.

Even in Gray Screen Town during the stable period, fresh fish were not common, and only occasionally appeared on the tables of wealthy families and certain powerful forces.

Even Shuggs has never had a chance to feast on it.

The reason is simple. To catch fish, it means that you have to cross the dark wilderness to the lake outside the town or the endless sea to the south.

Entering the dark wilderness itself is extremely dangerous, and even if you reach those places, in addition to catching fish, it is possible to catch other things.

If a person has the ability to come and go freely in the dark wilderness, there are actually many more reliable ways to make a fortune. For example, the skin and flesh of wild animals, wood that is more expensive than iron, or some rare medicinal ores.

Shuggs didn't know the source of the fish. The fish that suddenly appeared at this moment made him a little confused.

Esol's ability to even wander the town is a problem, let alone go fishing in the wilderness. Does Sol know any big people he can't afford to provoke? But the other party's compromise just didn't look like it.

For a while, Shuggs was also caught in speculation, but he was not worried, because he had enough time and means to figure out everything he wanted to know.

"Grilled fish tastes better, but I am worried that the rich aroma will attract uninvited guests, so I am going to simply cook it."

While chatting, Saul built a simple fire on the ground with gravel around the dead branches, and then found a wooden spoon and two open clay pots, one of which stored half a pot of water on the back shelf. On the fire.

Cut the belly of the fish with a dagger, remove the scales, clean it and cut it into two pieces, and throw it into a clay pot.

Then Sol tricked it out and fumbled out a small handful of salt, blowing the dust into it, and then carefully filtering out the foam on the surface of the fish soup with a spoon while watching the fire.

Shuggs watched Sol's every move silently, and he suddenly felt that Sol in front of him seemed a little different from the lonely and incompetent waste in the monastery in his own impression. But this is not important, the other party will eventually be his prey.

The materials are limited and the cooking process is simple and dull.

After a while, the fish soup rolled, and the attractive fragrance began to permeate the bottom of the well. Although Shuggs was calm on the surface, his throat was wriggling subconsciously.

The fish itself is not big, it was divided into two parts. Saul left the smaller fish tail to himself, evened out some of the soup in another empty pot, and generously pushed the spoon and fish head towards Shuggs.

Can't wait to take his share, Saul, who has been hungry for a few days, sat cross-legged on the ground in a disgraceful manner, catching the fish with his hands while blowing cold air, and sometimes bowed his head and sucked in some hot soup.

Seeing that Sol’s entire face was covered by the bottom of the clay pot on the opposite side of the stump, and the terrible eating seemed like he was about to stuff the whole pot into his stomach, Shuggs sat down with confidence and lifted the fish in front of him. , His swallowing speed is not much slower than Sol.

"Huh~~! It's really worth working hard to live today!"

Saul sat on the ground with his hands leaned behind his back, expressing emotion, looking content after a delicious meal.

Shuggs bit a fishbone and looked at him with interest, waiting for Thor's next performance, and at the same time thinking about how to ask the origin of the fish and how to continue to expand his income in this matter today.

Turning his head inadvertently, Shuggs noticed that there was a piece of unfolded sand cotton paper on the stump at some point. There was a small pile of dark golden powder on the paper, which looked like some kind of seasoning.

"what is that?"

Shuggs shook his chin at the pile of things leisurely.

"The light of corruption."

Sol still looked lazy, hiccuping like he was talking about a trivial matter.

After hearing the answer, Shuggs suddenly exploded and jumped up like a cat stepped on its tail.

The two daggers were already in his hands at the moment he jumped up, one leaning in front of him and the other leaning to his side, that was the starting position of the thieves preparing to attack.

But he didn't attack immediately, but put his fingers in his mouth as if he suddenly remembered something.

Saul turned his head and stared at him like an idiot.

"Do you think that if you eat food mixed with corruption light, you will still have a chance to pick your throat? I'm afraid it will become a pile of smoking stinky meat long ago."

These words made Schugs breathe a sigh of relief, but before he completely relaxed, Saul continued slowly:

"What you eat is just some small snacks that I prepared casually. The moment you eat it, it has penetrated into your body."
