Goblin Heavy Dependence

Chapter 62 Thief
The rain is getting heavier.

Originally it was just a drizzle, but the thin rain curtain like a thread gradually became thicker.

Deep in the gathering and condensing leaden clouds, one could faintly hear low thunder brewing.

Shanan and the halfling were on their way back to the inn.

They didn't bring any rain gear, so they often walked along the eaves of the roadside buildings.

And if there is no obstruction, they will not be in a hurry and will just walk freely.

For Xia Nan, his body was already wet anyway, and he would carefully maintain his armor equipment before going to bed, so it didn't make any difference whether he walked a few more or less steps.

With his physique of 8 points, it is impossible for him to catch a cold or get sick just by getting caught in the rain, unless he is hit by any spells like "Disease Curse" or "Weakness Aura".

As for Alton...

Xia Nan just hoped that the other party would stay away from him when treading water, so as not to splash the muddy water on him.

"correct."

Looking at the halfling who was full of interest and feeling the cool rain.

Xia Nan couldn't help but recall what the other party had said just now at the door of the tavern.

"The sister of the goddess of luck you just mentioned is..."

Just halfway through his words, Alton suddenly turned around and raised his index finger to his lips.

"Shhh."

"Don't mention it. He is not as easy to talk to as a lady."

Hearing this, Xia Nan's heart suddenly trembled and he shut up.

In this vast continent, the edge of which is so vast that ordinary people cannot even see it in their lifetime, there are a large number of gods from different pantheons and races.

They may have obvious differences in the strength of their divine powers, and the authority and domains they hold are also different, but they all have one thing in common -

A life so long that it almost spans the history of an entire race.

Under such circumstances, the connections between gods become extremely complex and confusing in their life journeys that are difficult to measure in time.

Even for the most experienced historians, it is difficult to clearly know what events a god from ancient times has experienced and which gods he is related to.

Therefore, regarding the specific relationship between gods, only the most superficial and insignificant information can be circulated on the mainland.

For example, the famous "Sisters of Destiny":
The Smiling Lady of Luck [Tymora],
And His sister—

The "disaster girl" [Ben Shaba] who symbolizes bad luck.

Different from her sister who is indifferent, easy-going and even a little childish, the image of the disaster girl in the world has always been known as mean and stingy.

So much so that in most formal occasions in the Kingdom of Servia, when the speaker needs to thank someone, he often brings this moody lady along.

Otherwise, He would feel disrespected and would spread bad luck to everyone on the field without any scruples.

I just want to take this opportunity to learn more about the gods in this world.

Xia Nan certainly didn't want to have anything to do with this person with a bad temper and who controlled the power of fate.

"Hahaha, there's no need to be so serious."

Seeing his stern and serious look, the halfling immediately laughed and consoled him.

"Given His character, even the most devout believers may not respond to the prayers of so many people in the world every day."

"You didn't even mention the name of God. Don't worry, it won't be noticed."

"Besides, I'm here!"

As he spoke, Alton tossed the lucky coin in his hand with a proud look on his face.

After hearing what the other party said, Xia Nan felt a little relieved, but he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.

According to what he knew about the relationship between Tymora and Benshaba, if he accidentally offended the other party, coupled with the believer of the goddess of luck around him...

I'm afraid the divine punishment I'll receive will be super doubled.

call--

A silver light flashed in the corner of his eyes. Xia Nan couldn't help but look up, and saw a silver-white robin flying through the dense rain curtain under the dark clouds, flapping its wings.

Just as I was feeling strange, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from the front.

A thin figure hurried past, bending down as if to avoid the rain.

His facial features were blurred by the hood, and one could only see two thin and frail calves under his ill-fitting coarse coat.

Thinking that he was just a passerby hiding from the rain, Xia Nan subconsciously turned his body to the side to make way.

However, he didn't expect that the thin figure seemed not to notice the two people in front of him, and bumped straight into Alton who was walking in front.

The halfling is short in stature, but his race gives him extraordinary agility.

Just by turning the body slightly, the impact from the front was relieved.

Some people were even kind enough to lift the other person up to prevent him from falling.

Apparently, they didn't expect that Alton could so easily resolve the force of their collision.

After the collision, the thin figure who leaned his whole body on Alton suddenly lost his balance and seemed to be about to fall in the next second.

And it was precisely because of this that the other party's immature and skinny face was revealed, and...

The hand that was reaching for the shriveled purse on Alton's waist.

"Thief?"

Xia Nan reacted immediately, and his right hand had already touched the hilt of the beheading sword behind him.

Alton reacted faster after realizing that the other person was not a passerby but a pickpocket targeting him.

The left hand that was originally on the opponent's arm changed from supporting to grabbing, and the right leg tripped forward while exerting force with the hands.

"boom!"

The thief who was in a stalemate with the halfling was pushed to the ground by him in an instant.

Mud and water splashed everywhere.

"My goodness, it's all right on my face."

Xia Nan weighed the two long swords on his back, with a puzzled look on his face.

Not to mention the halfling, just the way I am dressed as a traveler with him is obvious that I am an adventurer.

The opponent doesn't seem to have mastered any professional combat skills in the "Wanderer" direction.

Are you really that stubborn?

Or is there another conspiracy?
He could not help but draw his sword and step forward.

The thief's action was unexpected, and he was easily tripped by the halfling. After being exposed, he had no intention of resisting.

He just followed Alton's force and rolled twice on the ground, his coarse linen clothes covered with mud and water.

Then he used his hands and feet to turn around and run away in a panic.

Xia Nan looked at the other person's back and realized that it was impossible for him to let the pickpocket escape so easily.

He took two steps forward suddenly, but then stopped suddenly.

It's not that he discovered some clues and gave up the pursuit.

It was because a strong and powerful hand suddenly stretched out from the corner at the end of the street.

With just one move, he grabbed the thief's collar firmly as if it were made of iron.

With his toes off the ground, the skinny thief was slowly lifted up like a chick.

A blond man in a sheriff's uniform then appeared in front of the two.

"Joey, what did you do again!?"

A low growl filled with suppressed anger came from the rain.
