God's family

When Roger and Leon finally caught up with Lacente and Theodore, they saw the gray-haired youth being restrained by them.

Apart from being very thin, the young man looked so ordinary that it was difficult to leave any impression on him. He was wearing a brown cloak and lay prone on the ground. His back was trampled by Lacente, dust rolled all over his body. , extremely embarrassed, with timid and innocent eyes, tough on the outside and gentle on the inside, like a passerby implicated who dares to be angry but dare not speak out in the face of evil forces.

Ordinary thieves are acting kings, in order to have the opportunity to fool the victim and get away after being caught.

"What the hell are you doing! Robbing?! I, I—be careful, I'll sue you!" The young man shouted, his voice trembling, but unfortunately, except for Leon, who didn't plan to intervene in this matter, and glanced at him, the remaining three were all silent. No interest in watching his performance: Roger was busy observing that his figure and back did not look like the figure he glimpsed just now, while Lycent was busy using his eyes to claim credit, saying that it was his own credit. As for Theo Much... The sympathy of the elves has always existed only on plants and animals, and will not spread it selflessly to other races. He is just curious about the thief that Roger has nagged all the way and told him to be careful looks like.

"I didn't expect you to be able to catch thieves. You're improving so fast!" Leon approached Theodore in surprise, and asked with a soft smile—when he just left the forest, what was Theodore's career as a thief? I don't know anything.

"Because Roger has been telling me." Theodore was a little excited, as if he had worked hard to listen to the class for a long time, and finally got a full score in the exam. "He said that if someone accidentally bumps into him, Be sure to check the valuables you carry with you. If there are no more, you have to chase the person you just met. If you don’t remember the appearance of the person just now, you have to say something like "stop, thief" and then go after the person. The person who leaves the most hastily—if the person who is traveling with you is unfortunately stolen and shouts 'catch the thief', he must also help, because elves are good at speed, and few humans can catch up to the speed of elves." Odo raised the corners of his mouth, and then looked at Lacent who was still staring at Roger without blinking, and added a bit of respect in his tone, "Lacent is also very fast, unexpectedly slower than me Not much..."

Leon smiled and didn't say anything more, but he was obviously proud of Lyonte's speed and elf's ability.

"It's him, that's right! He stole my things!" After inspecting the captured young man in all directions, Roger's tone was firm—in fact, he was sure it was this young man from the very beginning, because The words [Bergel, Thief] were clearly marked on the young man's head, but before confirming it, Roger still needed to put on a show.

"Stop wronging people! It's obvious that you wronged me! I was walking well, but your people suddenly rushed over and beat me!" The young man shouted hoarsely, struggling to get up, but was slightly moved by Lacente. Applying force, his face turned pale—Roger felt as if he heard the sound of bones breaking, and his heart skipped a beat.It's just that when he glanced at the expressions of other people, he found that he was the only one who seemed to have a little sympathy.

Nobles have always been arrogant and don't care about the lives of civilians at all, while Theodore is a foreigner, and he doesn't have any overflowing mercy for human beings.

Sighing in his heart, he didn't feel that his so-called "compassion" was not worth boasting at all, Roger squatted down in front of the young man, his lips curled up happily and beautifully, "Don't pretend, you are, my Your eyes are very sharp, you can't fool me."

"I subdued him, Roger." After signaling with his eyes for a long time but it didn't work, Lacente had no choice but to remind him and claim credit for himself.

"Thank you, Lacente, you are really reliable." Roger's eyes curled up. He was in a good mood after catching the thief. Naturally, he would not be stingy with a compliment—and Lacente just needed a compliment. It will be enough.

Seeing the incomparably joyful gleam in Lacente's bright eyes, Leon felt that the prince he was loyal to was about to put a tail behind him and sway a few times, and he immediately felt terrible.Leon couldn't help but turned his head silently to look at Theodore, who was standing beside him with his arms crossed, elegant and calm, and felt that he was obviously a prince of the royal family, why there was such a big difference...

"Obviously, I was the first to catch up and catch him..." Theodore muttered in a low voice, curling his lips in dissatisfaction. Fortunately, the dignity of the elves did not allow him to care too much about such trivial matters , Asking for credit, so he just whispered something in a "voice that everyone can hear".

Leon silently turned his head to the opposite direction, and then withdrew his emotion just now.

——What is going on with this feeling that everyone is in the same place, and suddenly they are mentally balanced...

"Thank you too, Theodore, you have begun to adapt to human society." Roger looked at the elf with a smile, and the compliment he spit out was exactly what the other party wanted to hear the most, so the elf's clear green eyes The dissatisfaction disappeared, and the joyful and proud brilliance danced.

After appeasing the two heroes, Roger finally turned his gaze back to the young thief, and motioned for Lacent to pull him up.

The young thief's height was only a little taller than Roger's, and he looked quite light. Lacente lifted him up without any effort, even his feet were hanging in the air, without touching the ground.

Roger ignored the young man's struggle and clamor, and stretched out his hand to search him. After searching for a long time, he only found a small bag tied to his belt—this probably shouldn't be said to be found, but to find it at a glance. will find out.

Opening the bag, there were only a few pitiful copper coins inside, and nothing Roger lost at all. The good mood disappeared in an instant, Roger's eyebrows gradually furrowed, and his eyes were not as soft as before. intimidating.

"You, look! It's obvious that you wronged me! I have nothing on me!" The young man swallowed, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his head, but he still resisted the pressure and shouted, trying his best to defend his innocence .

Roger squinted his eyes and thought about it carefully. He didn't suspect that his judgment was wrong, let alone that the ability bestowed by the gods would fail. Quickly, he also saw a name similar to [Begel] the moment his eyes locked on the back, and the profession of the young man in front of him was indeed a thief.

If there is a profession that Roger, who is compared by many people to the dragon who keeps money, hates the most, it is obviously a thief.Roger hated all thieves, whether they stole from him or not—all thieves were bad things!Would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one person go, this is a wise saying tailored for thieves!

Roger gritted his teeth, turned his head and asked Lacent and Theodore if they had seen abandoned bags or something on the way of chasing the thief youth, and then they shook their heads unanimously.After thinking about it for a while, Roger did remember that he did not find any similar existence on the way here, which means that after the thief Berger found out that he was found and was in trouble, he used clever techniques to move Throwing things to the companions who respond, firstly, it will not lose both people and property, and secondly, it will be easier for him to get away if no one gets the stolen goods at the same time. There is no doubt that thieves and robbers like to commit crimes in groups.

"I don't believe it, I can't catch your little pigtails!" Thinking of the pile of jewels he lost, Roger went crazy, his red eyes seemed to be soaked with blood, and even Leon and Theodore couldn't help but retreat He took a small step and watched in horror as Roger drew out the dagger he hadn't used much.

"Wait, wait... what are you going to do?!" Leon's voice trembled a little, and he was dumbfounded as he watched Roger neatly cut open the young man's clothes with a dagger.

"What are you doing?!" The thief Berger raised his voice even more, struggling in horror, "You pervert!"

"Is this how humans and humans punish thieves?!" Theodore felt that his three views were ruined-human society is really terrible!

The only one who remained calm was Lacente. Although he also couldn't understand Roger's actions, he still dutifully suppressed the struggling young thief and provided strong support for Roger's crime.

"...What are you all thinking about! I just want to see if there are any special marks on his body so that I can find them!" The corners of Roger's mouth twitched slightly, and he really couldn't maintain his calm expression, "As for With a dagger, it’s just that I’m not strong enough to tear open my clothes with bare hands!”

"...Tearing clothes with bare hands, doesn't it look more ferocious?" Leon laughed dryly, and gave the young thief a sympathetic look.

"...What on earth are you sympathizing with him?" Roger was very dissatisfied, and plausibly rationalized his behavior, "I don't want to kill or hurt others, so let's use naked running for small punishment and big punishment, I believe The next time he wants to steal, he will definitely think of the punishment he received today, after all, mental wounds are always more difficult to heal than physical wounds, unless he has no integrity at all."

"Why do I feel that you are the guy who has no integrity at all?!" Leon collapsed.

"Ah! I found it!" Without continuing to discuss the issue of morality with Leon, Roger's eyes lit up and he found a strangely shaped tattoo on the waist of the young man, and he couldn't help feeling a little proud, "I've always heard that Any organization likes to mark their members, but I didn't expect this meme to be true!"

"...I now deeply doubt whether you really intend to find the mark, or simply want to take off his clothes..." Leon lowered his voice and complained softly, but he was still ignored.Roger was busy drawing out the tattoo design, while Lycente and Theodore watched curiously.

After drawing the pattern, Roger looked up at the trembling and almost fainted poor young thief, and smiled slightly, "This is indeed the mark of your organization, isn't it? It's not your personal hobby?"

"...What if... what if it's my personal hobby..." The thief tremblingly said, trying his best to maintain his dignity.

"If it's your personal hobby... then it's a bit difficult... I don't like things that are too violent, beating, killing and torture to extract confessions or something, it doesn't fit my style." Roger sighed, " But the things that were stolen are really important to me, and I don't want to let you go so easily... I always want to teach you some lessons and make up for my loss." Roger paused for a moment, and his smile widened Fa Canlan, "So I decided that if I can't find your organization and can't make up for my loss, I will cut the last piece of clothing on your body."

The three of Leon silently turned their attention to the last piece of clothing on the young thief's body - underwear.

"This is indeed the mark of the organization! It is the mark of the Thieves' Union! Our headquarters is in Einst!" The poor thief Begel collapsed.

"The Thieves Guild! No wonder I saw this mark familiar, but I didn't remember it for a while!" Leon suddenly realized, and confirmed the thief's words with sympathy, which at least gave him a way out.

Roger was finally satisfied, and signaled to Nexant that "small punishments and big punishments" would be over.Naturally, Nexant let go of the thief Berger's hand very docilely, and on Berger's slender wrist, there were fingerprints of his fingers that had gradually turned black, coupled with his shrinking pitiful appearance. And the bruises and bruises that collided with each other because of the struggle to escape, it is really... pitiful.

Then, Roger silently picked up the only unbroken brown cloak on the ground, and put it on himself under Berger's ashamed and angry eyes.

[Rogue cloak, equipment - cloak, defense +10, speed +10, dodge rate increased by 10%] - it's a good thing.

"So, what's next? Are you going to go to Aintes to single out the entire Thieves Guild? The risk is a bit too great." Leon glanced at the thieves who staggered and fled covertly, and began to pour cold water on Roger.

"There will always be a way." Roger shook his silver hair, his red eyes sparkled, "Anyway, I don't have any other plans for the future, so I'm going to fight with the Thieves Guild! I want to steal I will take back my things ten times and a hundred times!"

"...Obviously you just took a fancy to the treasures in the Thieves Guild, so you have to have a legitimate and conscientious reason to take them away?!" Leon hit the nail on the head.

"You're getting to know me better, Leon." Roger nodded frankly and honestly, subconsciously touching the bracelet on his wrist.

——Anyway, he is also the favored person chosen by the human gods, so he won't be able to defeat a small organization like the Thieves Guild, which sounds powerful but is actually not very popular, right?Great gods, please listen to the prayers of the god-favored ones this time, and give them grace and protection!

Human God: "..."
