Chapter 227: Devious

Thieves…

How can one proudly declare that? 

[Wait, what about the whole anti-crime system?] 

"There are many ways to bypass it you know."

[Like?] 

He gives me a mischievous smile. 

"Well, when you bump into someone you can apologize and ask him if he won't blame you for it. The it in such a sentence can mean stealing all his gold."

[How smart! I mean how devious!] 

"Of course. There are also many other tricks you know."

I need to listen to that. 

Who knows if someone won't try that stuff on me? 

"You can help someone carry some of their stuff. When they give you permission to help you can also subtly start carrying their pouch. Of course, you just happen to forget to give it back at the end."

This place is kinda scary. 

[Anything else?] 

"Well there are other tricks but a rule of thumb is to refrain from agreeing with other people in such a place." 

I nod solemnly.
