015 Moonstep and Thieves

Climbing out of the reef cave, what appeared in front of everyone was the stormy sea.

The snakeskin raft had been punctured by rocks as it approached the exit and was washed into the sea by the rapid currents. The adventurers had to give up the valuable snakeskins.

Fortunately, the multi-headed lizard did not catch up, and they also avoided the vortex at the entrance of the cave with the help of magic.

Paladin John wrung the water out of his cloak and looked around.

This is a reef under a coastal cliff. The silver waves hit the boulders under their feet without hesitation, and the thin waves slapped everyone's buttocks from time to time.

After seeing the situation clearly, John gave up trying to wring out the cloak - it was obviously in vain

"The water is rising and we need to get back to land as soon as possible."

John looked at the cliff and then said to Tia

"Tia, rope"

The barbarian girl poured out the water from her big package and took out a bundle of rope.

Shatara does know magic rope magic, but it is a spell she learned by herself, and she was not prepared today - she is not only a mid-level warlock, but also a low-level mage who can cast most level 1 spells.

And for the sake of saving spell slots, the mage will not cast spells randomly in such non-emergency situations.

Duosuo took the rope and climbed up the cliff more than thirty feet high in a few clicks.

Just hearing two long and one short whistles coming from above, one end of the rope was lowered

That sound means that he found no danger up there. This is the signal agreed upon by the team.

John climbed up along the rope first, followed by Tia, and Shatara motioned for Victor to go up first.

Victor was still looking at the sea and the sun in the sky. Somehow he felt that the sea here did not have that sense of freedom, and the sun was a little less blazing.

It seemed that the vast sea was also bound by something, and the supposed blazing sunshine was a little "scattered" - he didn't know if it was an illusion.

He shook his head at the sorceress and no longer thought about such mysterious questions. He felt that now was a good opportunity to test the moon step.

I saw him doing a few high leg raises on the spot, and then bending down to do a few warm-up movements - which made Yorick and Satara who were left behind look weird.

As the warm-up ended, the stones under Victor's feet suddenly shattered, and he had already jumped into the air. As his feet stepped on the air at high speed, he soared upward in a direction that defied gravity again and again - in the Adventurer

In my eyes, he was running in the air!

"Is this the Moon Walk? The pace of chasing the moon. Ha, if I can learn it, I can jump all the way to the Ur Peak and hit old Monk on the head with the Horn of Ur!" Tia looked at it.

shouted to Victor in the sky

Ur Peak is the first peak of the Luke Plateau. It is steep and steep, towering into the clouds.

It is also a place of trial for the local barbarians. Only those who successfully set foot on the Peak of Ur (without relying on magic) and retrieve the Horn of Ur will be called the Warriors of Aktar and achieve great glory.

Ur is the name for the white dragon in the local dialect. The so-called "Horn of Ur" is of course also the horn of the white dragon. I climbed a peak of more than 30,000 feet with my bare hands, and then hunted a white dragon and took its horn with me.

Come back - it is difficult for ordinary master-level professionals to do it

In fact, it has been more than a hundred years since the Tark Barbarians last had a warrior take back the Horn of Ur and become a warrior of Aktar...

Victor had already jumped over a height that exceeded the cliff, but he did not land immediately. Instead, he swayed in the air and landed on the ground after several back and forths.

After landing, he groaned, and his chest on the left side rose and fell violently.

The moon step, a technique that achieves "flying" by stepping on the air at high frequency, places a heavy load on the body. Among the "Navy Six Styles", the moon step consumes the most physical energy.

Victor only lasted for a few minutes before he almost couldn't maintain the "one-lung breathing" state. The vibration in his right chest caused the shrapnel to scratch the lung lobe again, giving him a slight taste of blood.

He overestimated his own condition...

"Can Master Peak do what he does?"

After John pulled up the sorceress and ranger, when Victor regained his breath, he turned to the halfling and asked

Master Peak is a senior master thief and Doso's adoptive father.

Thief, Assassin and Trickster are the three common advancement paths for rogues. Among them, Assassin has become the feared enemy of almost all spellcasters due to his ability to secretly assassinate. Trickster is famous for casting shadow spells and other unknown weird secrets.

scary

Thieves are the most common among the three advancement levels, and are also the most "people-friendly". You can encounter more than a dozen thieves while walking around the streets of a bustling town - you just can't recognize them.

Although thieves appear to be different among the three paths because they are too popular, thieves of the same level are the most agile among the three!

The main abilities of an assassin are camouflage and concealment, as well as the explosive power of killing with one hit.

Tricksters need to spend part of their time learning spells

Only thieves can survive in this world with their agility and clever brains from beginning to end.

Master Peake Joseph is the most powerful thief John has ever known.

"Hey, the old man's skills are not as good as mine now, running in the sky? Ha! If he could do it before, he would definitely not miss bragging about such an important thing to me, ha! Piqué, the legend

Joseph the Thief!”

Dosso laughed as he spoke, and refused to stop until he burst into tears. As the adopted son of Old Pique, he knew very well the strength of his adoptive father, known as the "Legendary Thief"

In Dosuo's eyes, he is a stubborn old man with unclean hands and feet. He brags to others about his achievements in his youth all day long. However, now he can even climb on the wine table and fall down, and he can fail eleven times in stealing wine from the pub ten times.

!

Duosuo really couldn't imagine that trembling old man running in the sky

However, Master Peake has indeed done many great things in his life, and he is worthy of the name of "Master"

For example, help the Elf Royal Family in the High Forest steal back their ancestral orbs from the Red Robe Mage Association in Sere.

Like stealing a girl's soul from an abyss lord's lair

Like stealing an artifact from a drow city in the Underdark

His most "brilliant" achievement was stealing all the treasures of an adult blue dragon - and then being hunted by it for two full years, until the blue dragon, which had been doing evil all the way, was captured by Cormanthor, the great warrior guarding Elchon Pass.

"Iron Wall of Despair" was killed by Claude Hepp, so Pique dared to return to his hometown.

Although it is very embarrassing, for the past nearly fifty years, half of Faerûn has been singing about the reputation of "Dragon Treasure Thief" Pico Joseph

Although he himself has not become a legend, who dares to say that the life of Old Pique is not a "legend"?

Among the halflings, he is even more respected and well-known than the legendary halfling warlock "Lady Storm"

His legendary experience has inspired countless passionate young halflings to leave their comfortable homes, leave their warm fireplaces, embark on the path of adventure, and create their own legends...

This also includes Doso Joseph!
