The weird game of the ancient gods

Xia Yu was about to get out of the way when suddenly, a system voice sounded in his ears.

System prompt: You successfully ransacked the residence of Duke Boris Vishak, a nobleman of Stormwind City, and triggered the thief-specific achievement missions [Flying Thief] and [Shadowless Thief]. You can obtain a large amount of fame points by completing career-specific achievements.

Exclusive mission 1: Flying Thief: Carry out continuous robberies in an extremely high-profile manner. Even if you are discovered, your actions will not be stopped. Leave your personal mark at the crime scene, and your legendary deeds will spread throughout the world. People will witness the rise of a legendary thief - the current progress is 10%.

Exclusive mission 2: Shadowless Thief: Carry out continuous perfect thefts without being noticed by anyone and without leaving any personal information. People are shocked by your ghostly method of coming and going without a trace, and you will be spread secretly However, since no one knows your name, the fame value gained will be reduced accordingly. The current progress is 20%.

Xia Yu was stunned when he looked at these two achievement tasks. He didn't expect that borrowing something could trigger the task, but thinking about it, he was a thief. How could he trigger it if he didn't rely on this trigger?

However, the conditions for achieving these two achievements are obviously contradictory. One needs to be publicized and the other needs to be hidden. I am afraid I can only choose one to complete.

The first one seems to be more difficult, but it also gives you more fame. The latter one is actually not easy, but as long as you move quickly enough, it is relatively easier to complete. After all, you only need to steal five houses.

Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, but decided to choose the first option. Anyway, it's not that difficult to 'borrow something'. The worst thing is to borrow it a few times.

He returned to the hotel first, put most of the gold coin boxes in the reserved room on the second floor, and then headed non-stop to the flower shop in the old city.

The easiest way to leave a personal mark is to carve a symbol or letter on the wall.

If you want to be more elegant, leaving a bouquet of white roses or tulips is also a good idea.

Xia Yu decided to do something elegant. When he arrived at the flower shop, he found that there were not only white roses, but also black roses.

Black roses are also fine. If you want to keep the flowers, of course the more unique the better. Xia Yu was not polite and cut out all the black roses in the flower shop. There were about fifteen or six, which was enough to leave a mark.

He did not show up to avoid being traced. He threw down a few gold coins as payment. Xia Yu came to the upper city again. He first returned to the house he had stolen from before. Duke Bores Vishak also returned Not coming back, so no one discovered the fact that it was stolen, he put the black rose back into the secret room.

Then go straight to the next one.

Climb over the wall, slip through the eaves, jump off the balcony, and enter the living room.

The layout of the residences of these nobles is similar. They usually have a balcony facing the living room for viewing the scenery. It is light and breathable, which makes it easier for him to enter and exit.

Xia Yu was stunned as soon as he entered the living room. There were a series of portraits hanging on the wall of the living room. Most of them were majestic armored knights. In the last portrait, Bolvar Fordagon was clearly listed. The background is on a ship, and there are some refugees from Stormwind City supporting the elderly and young in the background behind him. This should have been painted by him on his way back to Stormwind City after the Orc War.

Sure enough, he still stole it to Bovar's house.

It's a pity that he is not the Lich King yet, and there is no crown of dominance for him to collect.

After searching around the house, I found a half-full money box, but I didn't find anything like a secret room.

It seems that this Bolvar is quite clean and does not have that much wealth. However, if the thief does not escape, he cannot take nothing. There are too few gold coins and I am too lazy to take them. However, I found a sword on the wall of the bedroom, which is not bad. .

The sword was thick, and it looked like it was for knights or warriors. The sword had a lion's head pattern on it. When I picked it up and took a look, a line of blue characters appeared on it.

[Royal Guard Sword (two-handed sword/excellent)

Item introduction: This is one of the fourteen swords ordered by the former king of Stormwind City, Llane Wrynn. It is specially given to the heroes who fight to defend the kingdom. It is a symbol of glory and courage. 】

This is called blue equipment. There is a special introduction. The ones I picked up before were probably not all high-end white equipment. They didn’t even have any attributes.

It's a pity that this thing is a two-handed sword, so it's useless to hold it by yourself.

Xia Yuxin said that it is true that these nobles in Stormwind City all like to use two-handed swords. They should also consider the feelings of us thieves. It is so depressing that we can't even 'borrow' a decent weapon after working so hard to sneak in.

Leaving a black rose as a sign, Xia Yu left Bolvar's house, and then came to the third duke's mansion.

Still familiar with climbing over the wall and slipping under the eaves, I entered the house and saw oil paintings. These nobles all like to hang oil paintings in the house, and they also like to hang portraits of past family heads. This is a good habit, and there is no need to worry about getting the wrong place.

The owner of this family is called Duke Grayson Shadongbrick.

The name Xia Yu is also unimpressive. These Western names all look similar, but the appearance is somewhat familiar. He seems to be a paladin trainer from Stormwind City. Looking at the portrait, he is wearing golden armor, and his face is fair and compassionate, but he is full of righteousness. ——Xia Yu suddenly had a bad feeling. He might be out of money again. Although he had already 'borrowed' a lot of money, there was never too much money.

After searching around, I found no secret rooms and passages, and there were not even a few decent jewelry decorations. It seemed that this Paladin was really poor.

Fortunately, there was still equipment to collect, so Xia Yu didn't bother to take the armor weapon, and finally found an amulet that exuded gentle holy light, which was pretty good.

[Ankh of Life (Accessories/Exquisite)

Item introduction: A strange badge that has been soaked in holy light for a long time, stimulating the power of holy light in it, which can quickly heal the user's injuries and restore a small amount of health. 】

After taking the amulet and leaving the black rose behind, Xia Yu continued to the fourth house, which was the last duke's residence.

As soon as he climbed up to the roof and looked into the yard, Xia Yu immediately felt happy. There must be something in stock this time.

The magnificence of the building alone far exceeds the previous two poor houses, and is even comparable to the first one.

However, unlike the first one, which had a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere, this one has a slightly gloomy atmosphere.

The architectural style is obviously Gothic. There is a rare ugly gargoyle sculpture on the roof, and there is obviously a somewhat guarded atmosphere. There is no one in the yard, the balcony windows are closed, and other windows are also closed. They were all sealed tightly. If there was no one at home, they were on guard against something. However, this did not bother Xia Yu. He jumped onto the balcony and easily opened the window with his lockpicking skills.

Entering the living room, it was empty and very dark. I glanced at the portraits on the wall, and there was only one—Duke Greg Leskova, a gloomy-looking old man.

Hey, it turned out to be this guy, but Xia Yu recognized it this time. This guy appeared in a mission in the game and was killed by the player. It seemed to be a follow-up mission in the Dead Mine. I can’t remember the content of the mission clearly, but he’s not a good person anyway.

When Xia Yu walked to the door of the living room, he suddenly heard a sound of breathing.

The sound of breathing was very light and could not be felt by ordinary people. However, thanks to the perception ability of a full-level thief, Xia Yu could hear it clearly. He walked out of the door of the living room and took a few steps closer to the direction of the sound. , the sound became clearer and clearer, not only the sound of breathing, but also the sound of heartbeat, it was simply clear at a glance.

This is the benefit of level suppression. The advantage of perception makes it impossible for the thief hiding in the dark to hide.

At first Xia Yu thought he had met a colleague, but after taking a few steps closer, an assassin in black gradually appeared. He was not masked and was obviously not here to steal anything. He must be the guard of the mansion. .

Unexpectedly, the old man ambushed his men at home.

But it doesn't matter, what I want to do is to achieve the achievement of the Flying Thief. The higher the profile, the better, and the better it is to be guarded.
