The sky gradually turned dark.
The merchant ship didn't stop. This river was relatively safe, and the person at the helm was also an experienced person. If there were no accidents, it would take a day and a half to reach Shipwreck Bay, which was the estuary of this river. At night, there were noises coming from the room next door. It seemed that the man and woman were quite energetic, and they even went to the hammock to have sex. Søren's expression was quite calm. He was just quietly waiting for the opportunity, and from time to time, he would pay attention to the movements outside.
Stealing was not a good idea.
The other party was in the room, and in such a small space, it would be troublesome if they weren't legendary Rogues. Moreover, there was still a long way to go. If the other party found out that something was stolen, it might cause unnecessary trouble. Søren was a person who hated trouble, so sometimes he would be more ruthless. Moreover, the other party didn't seem to be a good person. If he wanted to do it, he had to be fast because there were other sailors in the cabin, and there were merchant ship guards on the deck.
These were all unexpected factors, and they certainly didn't want anyone to have an accident on the ship.
Time passed little by little.
Søren patiently waited for the arrival of midnight. The man and woman next door had done it three times in a row, and they seemed to be really tired.
He also heard the man's snoring.
From time to time, merchant ship guards would pass by once every hour, mainly to patrol the cabin's cargo. After all, the value of these goods was not low. The sailors would work in shifts. There was a large area of hammocks below, the kind where the two ends were hung with gauze nets. There were two groups of people in the first half of the night and the second half of the night. The situation on the deck was unknown, and Søren basically didn't go out today. No one came to disturb him, because people knew that wizards had a strange temper.
The food was in the kitchen, and the guests could get it if they wanted.
If no one came to take the initiative to get it, no one would send it over. After all, this was a merchant ship, not a passenger ship.
Søren's fingers tapped on the table lightly. He was calculating the patrol time.
The merchant ship guards would appear once every ten minutes. Their footsteps were three people, and they would occasionally talk a few words. Then they would enter the cabin, walk around a little, and go to the deck. Søren narrowed his eyes and waited for the footsteps to fade away before he turned around and picked up his clothes. Then, he slowly pulled out his scimitar. It was not the legendary curved sword obtained by the Frost Kingdom, but the one he had at the beginning. The legendary curved sword was too eye-catching.
Creak!
Søren gently opened the door without alerting anyone.
His figure blended into the darkness, and his stealth ability made him completely invisible in the shadows. He carefully walked to the next door, and then a set of lockpicking tools appeared in his hands. Søren was quite familiar with his old profession. He moved a little and heard a slight click. He had already pried open the door. The people inside did not wake up. They seemed to be in deep sleep. They had been tossing and turning for quite some time.
Søren gently pushed open the door.
His palms were steady, and he was careful not to make any noise. His night vision allowed him to see everything inside clearly. The scene inside was rather lewd.
Women's clothes and dresses were thrown on the ground, along with many small trinkets.
There were weapons at the foot of the bed.
The other party should also be an adventurer, but he looked like a warrior because the muscles on the man's body were clearly defined. Some of them were very strong and obvious. The woman was curled up in the corner of the bed. Her hair was fiery red, her back was white, her hips were full, her breasts were full, and her legs were slender and strong. She looked quite beautiful. She should also be a professional because Søren saw the calluses on her palms, near the area between her thumb and index finger. His rich experience told him that the other party was good at using short weapons.
There was only the sound of breathing in the room, and the man's snoring from time to time.
Creak.
Soran quietly closed the door, and then quietly crept over. In an instant, he struck like lightning, directly stabbing his curved sword into the other party's heart on the spot. Originally, he intended to knock out the two people, but since the man was a warrior, his Fortitude must be very high. Søren's strength was probably not as good as his, and the possibility of alerting others was too high. So, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he directly stabbed the man to death. Then, in an instant, he grabbed the woman's throat.
Bang!
There was a slight sound of impact.
The sound was a little abrupt, but it did not alert the sailors below.
The woman opened her eyes in an instant. She opened her mouth and wanted to scream, but her beautiful face was full of fear. Because Søren was tightly choking her throat, she could not make any sound. She could only kick her legs against the deck. The sound made Søren frown, and he swallowed the words he was about to say. Then, he twisted his wrist, and with a crisp crack, the woman's neck was directly broken.
A faint smell of blood appeared.
Søren frowned and covered the blood, then stacked the two bodies together.
Some people were very sensitive to the smell of blood, so it was best for him to do something to reduce the smell of blood here.
A row of data appeared:
"Activated Backstab! … "
"85 Piercing Damage to Target! … Target killed! … "
"Extracting Soul Energy, received 550 Slaughter EXP."
"Activated Garrote! … "
"24 Bruise Damage to Target! … Target's neck broken! … Triggered Test of Death! … Target's Fortitude failed! … Target killed! … "
"Extracting Soul Energy, received 350 Slaughter EXP."
The man was stabbed in the heart by Søren, which was equivalent to activating Backstab. He died on the spot. The woman was attacked by Garrote, which caused bruise damage, but because her neck was broken, she died from the Test of Death. The two people's Profession Levels were not high, probably around Grade 2. Søren could easily deal with them. He did not even use any skills, just normal attacks were enough to kill them.
This made him lower his expectations for rare grade items. Unless they were extremely lucky, it was basically impossible for them to find anything good.
Søren began to search the room.
He found a lot of miscellaneous items. These two guys didn't have any rare grade equipment on them. They only had some ordinary military goods. However, he soon found a special item. It was a rather large cloak that was dark red in color. It looked very gorgeous and smooth to the touch, as if it was made of silk. This should be the extraordinary item that they were talking about.
Søren tried to appraise the item, and soon saw a row of data:
Item Type: Sorrow of the Mohe [Aqua Spirit Cloak + 2]
Item Grade: [Grade 2 Legendary]
Item Description: This is a cursed cloak. Normal Aqua Spirit Cloaks are made from the hair of Aqua Spirits, but this one is made from the skin of a Aqua Spirit that was born in a river called the Mohe. The whole process was very bloody and cruel. The creator cruelly skinned a high-grade Aqua Spirit, and then used her hair to weave this legendary equipment. Compared to normal Aqua Spirit Cloaks, this equipment was more powerful, but it also had the curse of the dead left on it.
Equipment Requirement: Vitality 12 and above.
Equipment Effect: Charm + 2, up to 25 points.
Equipment Effect: [Charm Person] Once a day. This legendary equipment can charm a person once a day. No casting action is required, and the ability to charm a person can be instantaneously cast.
Special Effect: [Berserk Succubus], once every three days. This legendary equipment can activate Berserk Succubus once every three days. It doesn't require any casting action. It can instantly activate Berserk Succubus with spell-like ability. "
…
A legendary equipment?
Søren's face showed a hint of surprise.
The Aqua Spirit Cloak was a rare rare rare grade equipment. Aqua Spirits and Dryads were both beautiful creatures that were the embodiment of nature. Dryads were slightly more common. Many legendary wizards liked to transplant Dryads as their servants or concubines to warm their beds. Aqua Spirits were much rarer. They were the embodiment of rivers, and they had many special abilities. Even wizards would have a hard time finding them.
These two creatures belonged to special supernatural lifeforms and had the innate ability to charm magic.
Dryads, Aqua Spirits, Succubus, and Lustful Demons. These were four creatures that were born with extraordinary Charm. When they reached adulthood, their Charm would be 20 points, and they had the ability to instantaneously cast special Charm spells. Ordinary Aqua Spirit Cloaks were made with their hair, and then enchanted with special spells. Under normal circumstances, it would increase Charm by 1 point, and occasionally it would have additional effects. The Aqua Spirit Cloak in front of him was made with a special method. It was similar to the Human Skin Cloak. Not only was it made with Aqua Spirit's hair, but it was also made with her skin.
No wonder it had the curse of the Aqua Spirits!
This equipment reminded Søren of the Human Skin Cloak in the Abyss. That cloak was also a legendary equipment, and it gave + 3 Charm to creatures of the Evil Faction.
Wearing such a cloak required a certain amount of mental strength.
Søren gave up the Human Skin Magic Armor because of his resistance. In the end, he wore the legendary Dragon Skin Armor, which was less stressful. He gently touched the cloak with his finger, as if he had sensed something. It was a wailing illusion, and there was indeed the curse of the dead soul entwining around it. Søren's Wisdom wasn't high enough. If his Wisdom was high enough, he could feel more, and he could even communicate with the souls on it.
Søren quickly put away the legendary cloak.
Then he began to deal with the corpse. He would arrive at Shipwreck Bay tomorrow, and he had to do a little cleaning to make sure no one would find it.
As for what would happen later, he didn't care at all because he had already left.
