Different World Online

The sunset glowed all over the earth, covering Waterdeep, which had been bustling all day, with a layer of golden silk veil.

Steve stretched and woke up from his sleep.

He simply wiped the eye boogers from the corners of his eyes, rummaged through the bedside box for a while, and took out a set of gray work clothes.

In the small courtyard outside the door, Bobby's deliberately suppressed giggles continued;

Steve didn't care about this, and walked into the bathroom with his work clothes. He wanted to take a shower and change clothes.

Truly experienced wanderers will bathe and change clothes before working. Don't get me wrong, they do this not for the sense of ritual, but to eliminate their body odor.

Holding the soap nuts most commonly used by Waterdeep citizens, Steve took a thorough bath, changed into clean clothes, and walked into the storage room;

The storeroom was empty; the goods that had been stolen...pfft...had long since been transported into the dark underground, and were being sold by lovely drow maids.

Although these daily necessities from the surface cannot be sold at sky-high prices, they can still barely supplement household expenses.

Steve lit a torch, entered the passage, and followed the dark and neat corridor to the temporary base on Tieti Street.

After blocking the exit and opening the door to leave the room, he walked towards the dock area.

Each area of ​​the city has a different flavor;

The dock area has the salty and fishy smell of the sea breeze, the civilian area has a smoky smell, and the downtown area has the most diverse smells, but it is also very easy to distinguish;

As for the noble district in the north, the nobles all smell of high-quality perfume, and the people who work in the temple smell of burning incense and candles.

After a simple dinner at the Flaming Lips, Steve stood by the dock and leisurely enjoyed the sea breeze.

As the night deepened, the bustling city gradually became quiet.

Walking through the dark alley, Steve's figure gradually disappeared into the air.

[Invisibility Ring] Activate and enter stealth mode!

Steve crossed the bridge silently and walked into the aristocratic area where the streets were spacious and clean, with green plants on the sides.

The patrol frequency here is much higher than that of the southern area. Almost every five minutes, a team of soldiers with torches pass by;

Moreover, the equipment these soldiers wore was several levels higher than that of the soldiers in the southern district;

A red sleeveless, thin cloth top with the Waterdeep City emblem, a standing lion, printed on the chest;

Inside the infantry jacket is a scale armor with excellent protective capabilities;

In addition to the equipment, these well-trained soldiers are also equipped with an oak round shield wrapped in iron, a standard one-handed sword, a sharp spear and a longbow on their backs.

The existence of these equipment allows them to use effective fighting methods when facing various emergencies.

Hiding behind a dark flowerbed, the invisible Steve watched the group of torch-bearing soldiers leave;

He wasn't sure if these soldiers had any items that could detect invisibility, so he didn't want to take the risk.

As two professions that hate each other, mages and rogues are definitely a pair of enemies;

In order to prevent wanderers from sneaking into their wizard towers to steal things, the wizards invented many small devices to prevent theft.

For example, the cheapest invisibility detection gem can be bought in the arcane shop for only one hundred gold coins.

This little thing is very easy to operate. As long as there is a supply of magic power, it can detect the mana fluctuations of the surrounding invisibility spells 24 hours a day.

Once it encounters the mana fluctuations of the invisibility spell, this little thing will make a harsh dripping sound, which is simply a nightmare for wanderers.

The wizard has invented many gadgets like this.

After the patrolling soldiers had passed, Steve tiptoed out of the flower garden and headed deeper into the aristocratic district.

His mission today was simple, to check out the home of Grand Duke Rundel, the city lord.

Walking along the way, just after Steve avoided the patrolling guards for the eighth time, he saw the extremely luxurious residence of Grand Duke Rendel;

This is a luxurious building in the shape of an "I" character. It is called a mansion, but in fact it looks more like a palace.

The building has five floors and covers an area of ​​more than 20 acres, which is as large as two football fields;

You know, this is not some manor of thousands of acres outside the city, but the aristocratic area of ​​Deepwater City where every inch of land is worth a lot of money!

Around the building, there are neatly trimmed lawns and precious trees scattered around;

Under the moonlight, this Gothic-style building looks particularly elegant and magnificent;

Rubbing his hands excitedly, Steve carefully walked through the path between the lawns and headed towards the brightly lit palace.

Going around to the back of the palace, Steve pried open the back door of the kitchen, opened [Void Shadow], and tiptoed through the kitchen where chefs were coming and going.

At this moment, he was located at the upper left corner of the "工"-shaped palace.

Walking through the brightly lit corridor and stepping on the neat marble floor, Steve drooled as he looked at the neat armor decorations and portraits hanging in the corridor.

"Calm down! You need to calm down!

Think about the records in the human skin notebook about those predecessors who lost their lives because of greed. Do you also want to follow in their footsteps?

Remember your purpose today, scouting the area and getting familiar with the environment is the key, don't alert the enemy or you will lose the big picture!"

He kept admonishing himself in his heart, and after a long time, he finally calmed down.

Steve glanced at the exquisite murals and decorations on the wall with reluctance, silently noted their locations, and prepared to find an opportunity to invite them all back to his home.

Continuing on, passing by many ornately decorated doors, he came to a three-way intersection;

Just as Steve was about to choose a direction, a young man in a gorgeous robe and a fur felt hat came towards him.

The man was leaning on a gentleman's cane, his face, which was smeared with white powder, had an unnatural flush, and his steps were extremely unsteady as he walked.

"Damn it! Where did Dad hide those chicks!

There are so many of them, but the old man refused to give me even one and even said he wanted to auction them off!

Damn, never mind, I have to find something to play with today!

Where are they hidden? Why can't I find them no matter how hard I look? Could they be hidden in the old man's study?"

The young man muttered without any linguistic logic, not noticing that there was an invisible ear next to him.

Study? Chick? Auction?

Steve suddenly had a bold idea;

Maybe I could sneak into this auction, recognize the faces of the nobles, and at the same time see who is so rich that they can spend so lavishly.

Thinking of this, Steve suddenly felt that this was a very good idea;
