Before Goofy could explain, Umberto turned around and blamed Claire.
"You should know that I have always opposed minors joining gangs. Why did you bring this too young Mr. Justice to see me?"
"Brother Umberto, of course I know your rules, but Musk is in a very difficult situation. No one can protect this poor boy except coming to you."
Then, Claire introduced Musk's family situation. Both his parents were dead, and he was making a living in the circus. Life was already difficult, and he also offended two ruthless villains.
Claire noticed a hint of sympathy in Umberto's eyes, so she struck the iron while it was hot and said to him:
"Regardless of Musk's young age, he is quite capable. What's even more rare is his clever brain. You know what Mike and Billy in our circus are like? These two villains couldn't even take advantage of Musk even if they joined forces.
It was cheap, but he was seriously injured by him, and he is still lying on the bed now!"
"You mean 'Hercules' Mike and 'Knife Thrower' Billy?" Umberto was dubious, "Musk really injured them by himself, and you really weren't there to help?"
"I swear to the gods, I never interfered!" Claire replied sternly.
"Claire, I know you are not a braggart, but the things you just said are too outrageous!"
On the other side of the bar, a young man with a mustache interrupted with a smile.
"Mario, what I said is entirely true, it's up to you to believe it or not!" Claire replied angrily.
Umberto frowned and seemed to suspect that Claire's introduction to Musk was mixed with too much flattery, so he said to Gao Fei: "Musk, if you are really as brave and smart as Claire said, I will
I don't think you would object to a test."
"Brother Umberto, if I can pass the test, will you allow me to join the 'Street Angels'?" Gao Fei asked.
"Yes, I always keep my word."
"Okay, what is the content of the test?"
"Yesterday the cook in the tavern told me that there are often strange noises coming from the sewers, most of which are giant rats making noises. Musk, you have to help us clean the sewers and get rid of all the monsters hiding in the sewers."
"No problem, I'll go right away!"
Gao Fei received the system prompt and knew that this was a side mission, so he took it on without thinking.
"Don't be impatient. I want to warn you in advance." Umberto patted Goofy on the shoulder and motioned for him to sit down. "The sewer system of this city is very complicated. It is no exaggeration to say that it is like an underground maze.
It is home to all kinds of shady monsters, including giant rats, kobolds, ooze monsters, scavengers and other more dangerous ones. Every once in a while, we have to go down and clean it up."
Umberto stared into Gao Fei's eyes and solemnly reminded him to pay attention to his safety.
"Musk, I don't ask much of you. It's enough to go to the sewer and kill three giant rats. Other more dangerous monsters are not something you can provoke now. Remember to cut off the tails of the giant rats and bring them back to me."
"I remember, Brother Umberto."
"Also, I will ask Claire to accompany you to prevent you from getting lost in the criss-crossing pipeline ditches."
Gao Fei hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Umberto, if you ask Sister Claire to accompany me, aren't you afraid that I will cheat and use the giant rat that Sister Claire hunted to pass off as my own prey?"
"You took the initiative to say this, which shows that you are indeed an honest child." Umberto raised the corners of his lips slightly and turned around to tell the handsome young man with a mustache: "Mario, wait a minute and you will accompany Musk to the sewer.
Responsible for supervising this trial, you understand what I mean?"
"Understood!" The young man with a mustache smiled and nodded, and then introduced himself to Musk: "Little guy, my name is Mario Ricardo.
Cheating!"
"Bah! You're a cunning thief, how can you be so loyal and honest?" Claire cursed with a smile, and then said to Gao Fei, "Mario is the deputy of Brother Umberto, the number one in the Pattus Street Pickpocket Association."
Thief! Musk, I have to give you a piece of advice, when Mario is walking around you, please be sure to keep your wallet tight!"
Gao Fei suppressed his laughter and secretly opened the astrolabe to check Mario Ricardo's data.
This person is a level 6 thief with strength 14, agility 20, constitution 16, intelligence 13, perception 14, and charisma 15. He is indeed very powerful.
Mario Ricardo's sharp gaze turned around Gao Fei twice and asked him: "Brother Musk, you don't have any weapons on you?"
Gao Fei nodded frankly.
"You can't go to the sewers to kill the giant rats without someone taking advantage of them. Brother Musk, what weapons are you good at?"
"This..." Gao Fei didn't know how to answer for a while.
The weapon he is best at is the battle axe. However, his current profession is that of an imitator rather than a berserker. The imitator profession is also very strange. He does not have weapon proficiency. Whatever mask he switches to, he is good at the weapon corresponding to the mask.
Seeing his hesitation, Umberto stood up, walked around to the wine cabinet on the wall of the bar, held an empty wine bottle placed on the second row of the wine cabinet, and rotated 360 degrees, followed by the wine cabinet behind it.
It made the sound of gears turning and slowly moved inward, revealing a secret door.
"follow me."
Umberto opened the secret door and asked Gao Fei to follow him.
Claire and Mario also followed.
Gao Fei walked into the secret room of the bar out of curiosity and found that it was a weapons warehouse. On the weapon racks placed against the wall, there were all kinds of cold weapons such as swords, bows and crossbows. Unfortunately, there were no firearms.
"Whatever weapon you need, choose one yourself. It will be my gift to you." Umberto said to Gao Fei.
"Thank you, brother!"
Gao Fei opened the astrolabe and checked it, and found that the weapons collected in this room were all exquisite products. He couldn't help but admire Umberto's generosity even more.
He paused and thought in front of the weapons rack for a minute, then finally picked up a sheathed rapier.
The Mimic's 12 magic masks correspond to 12 basic professions, and the types of weapons they are good at are different.
If Gao Fei pursues the universality of weapons, I'm afraid he can only choose a dagger that can be used by twelve professions.
However, simple weapons such as daggers, which are short and light, have inherent shortcomings. The damage die is too low and the attack distance is too short. They are not much better than bare-handed combat.
Gao Fei finally chose the rapier. What he valued was that this weapon was both lightweight and had a high critical hit rate. The basic damage die of 1d6 was not bad. In addition to warlocks, wizards, monks and druids, other magic masks could match the rapier.
Sword - Priests and warlocks need to use "divine weapons" and "contract weapons" to obtain rapier proficiency.
