A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"steal".

"... again..."

"steal".

"...Very good, do it again..."

Mr. Adams and I faced each other and practiced the same skill repeatedly.

Every time I activate a skill, I will have an extra special gold coin in my hand.

"Take a break, I'll talk..."

"Wu Yue, the accuracy is already very good, but I hope the strength can be higher... that is... you can't just keep going after the gold coins... open your imagination... steal something else..."

"In the final analysis, you still don't regard 'stealing' as a skill... You subconsciously confuse it with theft, which is a crime... It's hard to make any progress if you keep going like this..."

"...but Mr. Adams...I can't do it..."

"Oh... never mind... you can't learn this by force. Sit down and I'll tell you the story of the Thieves Guild..."

"How much do you know about the Thieves Guild? Or...how much did Kenny tell you?"

"No, I've never heard of the Thieves Guild before... Kenny didn't say much about it either..."

"Well, I'll start from the beginning."

"The history of the Thieves Guild is actually much longer than you think. It can be traced back to the founding of the Church of Holy Light... However, due to the special nature of the profession, it has always kept a low profile..."

"The first thief to step into the limelight... and also a companion of the first generation hero... After completing his mission, he returned to his hometown and established the Thieves Guild, robbing the rich and giving to the poor."

"Although his name is no longer traceable, and even his gender and race are not recorded... the only thing that can be confirmed is that this legendary thief with outstanding achievements really received the blessing of the gods."

"Lady Noknare, goddess of dusk and dawn."

"Legend has it that thieves who are protected by Noknarei will never be discovered in the darkness until dawn falls upon the earth again..."

"Of course, this is a very mysterious thing. At least I have never seen anyone in the guild truly be blessed."

"But, people always have to believe in something. Regardless of the authenticity of the legend, this way, the Thieves Guild can be considered to have a god as its backer."

"When we in the Thieves Guild do things, we don't talk about right or wrong, but we do want to have a clear conscience."

"Seek wealth, but not life...rob the rich...and sometimes give to the poor. With these two principles, the guild has survived to this day."

“Although the economy has been a bit sluggish in recent years…”

"Ahem... Anyway, the guild adheres to the principle of 'making a living by craftsmanship', which can be regarded as leaving a way out for thieves all over the world..."

As Mr. Adams spoke, he began to introduce the various benefits and privileges that come with joining the guild, as if he was recruiting new members...

"...So...what is Mr. Adams' position in the guild?"

"I am... an official internal member. Unlike ordinary thieves, the internal members of the guild have gone through layers of screening and have to swear a lifelong oath to Ms. Noknalei..."

"oath?"

"When you live, your body will enter the dusk forever; when you die, your soul will return to the dawn... Walk in the darkness, and do not forget your original intention... If you break this oath, you will not rest in peace..."

Mr. Adams murmured, his eyes gradually becoming deeper.

A vow that is a little obscure to "me"...but I can get the general meaning from the words.

"So... you swear to serve that... Ms. Noknare for the rest of your life?"

"That's not quite accurate, because even after death, my soul belongs to that god... It seems to continue to exist as a guard of some temple... I can't remember, but I'm dead anyway, so who cares about that?"

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. After all, being able to become a member of the guild... is not something that everyone can do... But now I regret it."

"...So...some curses should not be sworn...or else, you will end up like me..."

"You broke your oath?"

"From the results, that's right..."

"I have been a thief for more than 20 years, and I have achieved some success. I have stolen the jewels from the king's crown, the private treasury of the archbishop of the church, and the home of the richest man. I have also been to all of them and even took away that fat pig... Forget it, I won't talk about this..."

"In addition, I also did a lot of things like tomb robbing, eavesdropping, and surveillance, all for the sake of making money..."

"Strangely enough, my luck has improved a lot since I swore an oath in front of Ms. Noknalei. Maybe I am really blessed by the gods?"

"......later......"

"For a little profit... I killed my companions... even though it was not my intention..."

"what happened?"

"You really want to hear it... Well, after Old Willy is gone, I don't know who to tell these words to. Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you."

"Four years ago? About four years ago... I received a commission from the guild, asking me to steal... a pair of rings..."

"The superiors said that this pair of rings belonged to a vampire couple. When it comes to vampire work, thieves must be vigilant, because the vampire territory is not a place where ordinary people can enter and leave at will..."

"I called a few of my regular collaborators together and prepared to do something big..."

"To be honest, that was my first time getting close to the vampires' territory... It was very different from my usual working environment. Perhaps that was the reason that led to the final..."

Mr. Adams frowned slightly, as if he was recalling the scene at that time.

"It was easy to sneak into the castle and find the wedding ring, but after finding it, everything went to the worst..."

"The vampires are so cunning. They are just waiting for you to fall into the trap they have set."
