“I’ivean idiot!”

“Put your head down you di at the three people that attacked him All three of the thieves turned up to be Lobelia and her friends It seeirl was actually part of the thieves guild

“Also please don’t tell this to big sis… or that big idiot… they will kill me… uh, that is if you don’t do it now…”

Lobelia peeked her head up to look at Wayland that had lowered his hood a bit He was still wearing his as attacks that these thieves could try to e to kill you, but you’ll have to explain a few things to s!”

While Roland somewhat knew Lobelia he wasn’t so sure about the other two that ith her For now, he continued to point his hand on them, a small orb of fire was still there and he had no proble it there

“First, why did you try to rob me, didn’t you see this?”

Roland pointed to the siven by the bartender at the brothel This syet hiuards saw it they did allow him to trade and thewith hilance

“Ah, well…”

Lobelia shi+fted his head to the side and glared at one of the two youngani a tail The other one had floppier ears that were -like

Sometimes it was hard to tell them apart but most of the time they had less animalistic features Pure beast with fur below their knees and on their forear on the beast tribe

These two on the other hand ular humans with so skill to see their race after the scuffle they had

“Well… that’s just a black uards with you, so we thought you would be an easy target”The young man with fox ears was the one to reply

“Renny, I told you that you got ripped off with that thing!”

Apparently, the dog boy was na to hiician said that it should work!”

Renny slu hiave another question

“That thing? Could you elaborate?”

“I’m sorry Wayland, I’ll explain, you two be quiet”

This tiave hi lass that was supposed to measure a person’s level and present their stats

Apparently, the young thieves started exas that the ave them put him down at a lower level than them Thus they decided to try their luck and rob him

“We never intended to hurt you, ould have just taken the money, that’s all…”

Roland frowned but it went unnoticed as he earing a mask While he believed Lobelia as he wasn’t so sure about the other two During the fight, the half-elf did ais The arrow also was coated in soent

The story somewhat checked out as after he was paralyzed they would be able to rob hiuess

It did look like the ite It was not a runic ite, he found out that it gave various readings depending on one's skill level and even time of day

Sometimes it showed him as a totally different class Other ti at all while on different occasions it would present the statusall jumbled up It appeared that for these three he showed up as a low level et

“You didn’t think that I earing an ite ht that we could still escape frohed a bit while slowly sitting up Roland had slowly startedhis hand to the side as he didn’t really intend to kill these three This didn’t mean that he would just let it be, they did try to rob him and for that, they would need to pay

“You two can leave, but you Lobelia, we need to have a talk”

While he was somewhat annoyed that they attacked hi he could profit from Just as he had an emblem for black market merchants these three had their own He wasn’t quite sure what rank these three had but they were clearly oing to be alright…”

Renny asked her while looking at Roland This didn’t go unnoticed as he realized that the two youngLobelia be left alone with hio back and say that everything is alright”

The two nodded and looked at Roland with a bit of a glare This stare down he returned in full as he didn’tto this world, Roland noticed that shoeakness would get him nowhere Thus he kept eye contact whichbehind the corner

“First… let us get out of here and then ill have a long talk…”

Lobelia gave Roland a weak sh the path to the nearest exit On the wall there was a lever and after lowering it the wall shi+fted in a similar fashi+on as in the brothel The two ended up in some kind of basement that was filled with some old tools

“First time?”

“Is it that obvious?”

Roland replied to the question as he was clearly sloalking up towards this strange basement Lobelia showed him how to leave it and the two found themselves in the backyard of some house in the city

“There are round like this”

“You nify that you are part of it”

Roland pointed to Lobelia’s emblem that was in the shape of a kite with a circle in the middle It was different from the one that he received which round ht, this is a sign of uild ranking syste in someone’s backyard The person was apparently affiliated with the guild but this didn’t mean that he wanted to stay here

The two soon left and re with the es Then they went to the closest tavern as Roland insisted on getting more inforave out a sigh, Roland was quite happy He had no way of knowing about the inner workings of the thieves’ guild It was a secret organization that didn’t write down its rules but went by word of et all the inforet a better deal on the black market

“I won’t ask you about why you would be in a place like this… but by what you said, you would like me to not tell Elodia about it?”
