Chapter 898: Grand gathering of thieves (1)
Translator: 549690339
Butterfly Island.
On the outskirts of pumpkin town.
Even though he had no idea what was going to happen on the island.
Roger was still using “Bluff” to trick the uniformed man.
Very quickly.
The uniformed personnel who had been selling him the “top-secret information” had been found out by Roger.
After coldly squeezing out the remaining value of the man in uniform.
Roger unceremoniously shook him off.
Conveniently.
He also had a stack of so-called top-secret information in his hand.
Through a friendly communication with this person.
Roger learned that there was a celebration that would last for seven days in the suburbs of pumpkin town.
The celebration was rather Grand.
It was the highlight of pumpkin town’s annual show.
Everyone from the entire butterfly Island and the surrounding sky islands would attend.
And in this celebration.
The most attractive event was the ” triathlete ” mentioned by the uniformed man.
Three of the three events in the triathlete.
It referred to theft, lockpicking, and escape.
Therefore …
The triathlete was also known as the “thieves ‘gathering “.
Although it was a gathering of thieves.
But in reality, it was a grand event that everyone could participate in.
The reason was simple.
The organizer offered high rewards for the winners of the Rogues.
The top 10 would receive a high gold coin reward.
And the champion had a chance to get a meal ticket forever …
He could enter the manor of the island master of butterfly Island and get a high-paying job.
The most important thing was …
Food and accommodation included!
This point.
It was simply too attractive to the residents of Sky Island, whose living conditions weren’t that good!
Therefore.
Every year, at the start of pumpkin town’s celebration.
It didn’t matter if he was a thief or not.
Everyone would be eager to sign up.
Under the heavy reward.
A series of chaos was born as a result.
The ‘top-secret information’ in the hands of the uniformed personnel just now was a living example.
Roger’s mind was clear.
This kind of information, which could be bought with a small amount of money, was either invalid.
Or it was simply harmful.
“I just don’t know how many people will fall for it.”
Roger laughed silently.
He strolled through the streets of pumpkin town as if he was invisible.
He shook the newspaper he had taken from the man in uniform.
The style of the newspaper was very rough.
It only recorded some very brief information.
Rather than a newspaper.
It was more like another form of notice board.
Roger noticed.
The words were written on the top-
the 9th pumpkin town celebration and the triathlete, as in previous years, were sponsored by the generous Mr. Constantine …
Below the title.
It was a portrait of a kind old man.
His eyes were deeply sunken.
His eyes were shining with wisdom.
Roger took a glance.
He quickly learned about the old man’s background.
He was the island master of the butterfly Island.
He was also the initiator of the Grand meeting of thieves.
According to the brief introduction in the newspaper.
Roger found out that Constantine was a high-level ” Alchemist.
At the same time, he was also the island master of one of the few sky islands that were not mages.
This information was intriguing.
He was an Alchemist.
Why was there a gathering of thieves?
Especially in a society like the floating island.
There weren’t many real thieves!
The triathlete was essentially a competition where the rookies pecked at each other!
At least …
Roger learned from the uniformed man that the situation of the previous Grand meeting of thieves was like this-
First of all …
In terms of picking locks.
The winners of the previous generations were basically blacksmiths and the like.
Because on the sky Island.
There were very few people who could really open locks.
The deeper reason was …
There weren’t many locks on the sky Island for people to open.
In the early stages of civilization, under the ” mages abuse their power “.
Even the number of thieves was pitifully small.
There were some petty thieves.
But he was a professional locksmith.
Almost none.
Then came the theft.
In this project.
The previous victors came from all sorts of backgrounds.
There were men, women, old and young.
In any case, everyone was an amateur.
They were just trying their luck.
Stealing didn’t require much learning.
In a situation where the rookies were pecking at each other.
It was said that the competition every year was quite fierce.
As for the final escape …
The collectors had the absolute advantage.
It was the escape event of the previous eight Grand rogues.
It was the experienced ground collectors who won the championship.
After all, compared to ordinary people …
They had more experience in escaping.
Whether it was the special terrain or the traps.
The gatherers who could always escape from life and death situations naturally had an advantage.
Apart from the three items above.
The top 30 players with overall points.
They would also be invited to Constantine’s alchemy Castle.
It was an interesting and exciting [ treasure chest battle ].
According to the uniformed personnel.
This project was the finale of pumpkin town’s celebration.
At that time, almost everyone would be watching the competition for the alchemy treasure chest.
The atmosphere of the conference would also be pushed to a climax at this moment.
In summary.
Roger cautiously guessed that Mr. Constantine might be using the gathering of thieves to select some people who were proficient in the three skills.
As for what he wanted to do …
Roger didn’t have enough information.
It was difficult to analyze and come to a specific conclusion.
To tell the truth.
He had no interest in the Grand meeting of thieves.
Therefore, he threw away the Flyers after a brief understanding.
Not long after.
Roger made use of the characteristics of “concealment “.
He arrived near the coordinates of the ‘mark of mystery’.
In front.
It was a tightly sealed venue.
