"Dingle bell...Dingle bell..."

In the duty room outside the warehouse, a sharp and rapid bell rang;

Seeing this, a sturdy man with his feet on the table suddenly sat up, picked up the sword on the table and shouted towards the door.

"Everyone, seal off the warehouse! Damn, there's a thief!"

The roar echoed, and the mercenaries patrolling around the warehouse quickly drew their weapons and quickly surrounded the entire warehouse.

In a narrow, deserted alley behind the warehouse, Steve slowly appeared. He looked around vigilantly, then composed himself and walked out of the alley with a calm expression.

Walking on the road, he was thinking about what he had gained from this trip.

We got a lot of sundries and daily necessities, among which iron and steel ingots were worth keeping.

The other pots and pans couldn't be sold for much, so the best way to deal with them was to throw them all to the drow maid and let her deal with them;

None of these are important, the most important thing is experience;

The experience he gets for reaching level 4 is twice that of a single-class player, which is 5400 experience points.

This time when I visited this warehouse, I got very little experience points for sneaking and disarming traps. Most of the experience points came from stealing, which added up to about 200 points.

To reach level 4, Steve needs to visit at least twenty such warehouses;

There are still twenty warehouses in the entire dock area, but once one warehouse is robbed, the remaining warehouses will be on alert.

Of course, Steve could also just keep an eye on one company and try his best to fleece them, but this does not fit his view of good and evil.

What if the owner of this warehouse is a relatively honest businessman?

Stealing once is harmless, but if you steal too much, won't it drive an honest person to the brink of death? !

Thinking of this, Steve nodded silently and convinced himself.

He would never admit that he didn't patronize the warehouse a second time because it was too poor...

Heading north, Steve crossed the bridge connecting the north and south urban areas, and following the direction he remembered, he found the City Hall in the North District;

The town hall is located in the south of the entire northern district, and is built on the banks of the Ruiwen River along with the temples of many gods;

Looking up at the white marble columns of the City Hall, Steve walked lightly along the clean and tidy steps into this majestic building;

He wants to buy a house, it doesn't need to be big, but it's best if it's surrounded by noisy people;

Rogues and Rangers are both Agility Classes, and part of the difference between them is the choice of station;

Rangers prefer quietness, while wanderers prefer to live among lively crowds;

There is no other reason, just to be able to blend into the crowd and escape easily after the incident.

Steve found a random officer and told him his purpose;

A one-bedroom apartment in the southern urban dock area can be rented long-term or traded;

It would be best to be close to the bridge connecting the north and the south. He needs to cross the bridge from time to time and go to the North District Temple to pray. As for which temple, Steve did not specify.

Apparently, this request is not uncommon.

Many businessmen from other places who come to Deepwater to develop their business will choose to buy houses in such locations;

They have money, but have not yet integrated into the local merchants and nobles, so they cannot buy property in the North City;

At the same time, they had businesses to take care of in the dock area and were unwilling to live with civilians, so they wanted to be closer to the northern city area.

Therefore, the south bank of the two bridges across the Ruiwen River became the first choice for these businessmen.

These two areas are also known as the small wealthy areas of Waterdeep.

The officer looked up at the tall Steve and nodded expressionlessly.

“There are no houses for rent, only for sale.

I recommend three places to you, would you like to go and have a look?"

The lukewarm voice fell, and Steve nodded.

Seeing this, the clerk raised his hand and called over a young man in a gray waistcoat, and casually instructed:

"Show this gentleman the house. The key is on the table."

After saying that, the clerk ignored Steve.

......

Guided by the enthusiastic young man, Steve looked at three houses in the small wealthy area;

This area is like a small city. The most expensive houses are located in the villas closest to the bridge.

And in the middle are buildings that resemble classical townhouses;

And at the outermost edge of this area, there are four-story buildings that are tightly packed together;

These buildings had no style at all, their densely packed windows facing the street, and the stinking gutters on the street were flowing with a foul smell that looked like fermented feces and urine;

The clothes worn by people entering and leaving this street are obviously much worse;

While the color is grayer, the fabric also appears rougher;

Covering his mouth and nose, the young man led Steve across the street and into a spacious four-story building. He then introduced in a muffled voice:

"Sir, this is Tieti Street. It is different from the two blocks just now. The customers who buy properties here are either traveling merchants with small businesses or small owners who have shops in the city.

Of course, seamen who sail on lucrative routes will also purchase properties here.

The houses here are not as beautiful and spacious as the two houses we just saw;

Apart from a bathroom that belongs to you alone, you don’t have the luxurious and warm fireplace you had before, there is no small garden to invite friends for afternoon tea, and there are no stables for you to travel.

The most important thing is that the patrol team here is only the patrol team from the city hall, and there is no patrol team from the church to help maintain law and order.”

Hearing this, Steve cooperated and pretended to be regretful, then twirled his fingers in embarrassment.

"But my money can only afford this place. Are there really no house rental services in the two blocks you just introduced?"

"I'm sorry, sir, really not."

A hint of barely visible contempt flashed across the young man's eyes, but his facial expression did not change at all.

On the side, Steve noticed it but didn't care at all.

Maybe in a situation where his emotions are extremely out of control, he will teach this guy a small lesson;

But now, he wanted to do great things, so he didn't care about this little contempt at all;

Let’s put it this way, he actually hoped that this young man would look down on him and not doubt his behavior!

When I visit the nobles' homes in the future, those nobles who are afraid of death will definitely turn the city upside down; at that time, the slightest doubt will make these nobles rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

This is actually not an exaggeration at all. After all, Waterdeep is a city-state where slavery still exists;

Never overestimate the bottom line of those nobles who hold the power of life and death.

After hesitating for a moment, Steve rejected this small room of more than 30 square meters on the fourth floor.

"Sir, I also need to keep some money to deal with various emergencies that may occur in business."

Hearing this, the young man's eyes showed even more contempt than before, and he curled his lips and said:

“Then you can only choose the first floor which has a stronger smell.

Actually, this place is not as bad as you might think. The fourth floor has little smell and you can overlook the entire dock area and the endless sea. Are you really not considering it?"

"No, the price is still too high. If you use my working capital, maybe next month you can meet me again selling a house."

"Okay, you're right." The young man replied unwillingly.

When Steve buys a house, he can take a small portion of the money as commission;

Although it wasn't much money, it was at least enough for him to spend at the Flaming Red Lips.
