Chapter 578 Two Poor Friends (Subscription Request)
Martin took a sip of water, rubbed his butt on the armchair, steeled himself and asked Rogge: "Seriously, how much money do we have left?"
"That's all."
Rogge arranged 6 silver coins and 13 copper coins on the table, as well as a crumpled banknote with a face value of 5 gold dugas.
"This little money is not enough to pay the rent. If the business doesn't open, Mrs. Miller will kick her out." Martin said worriedly.
"In fact, we are two weeks behind on our rent and Mrs. Miller requires us to pay it off by Sunday."
"What day is it today?" Martin suddenly became worried.
"Sorry, my friend, today is Sunday." Rogge looked at the calendar, "The landlady may come to collect rent at any time."
Hearing the word "landlord", the hound lying in front of the fireplace opened his eyes alertly and looked at Roger and Martin.
"I'm not calling you." Martin waved his hand at the hound, "Roger and I are talking about the real landlord, a fierce and cold old woman!"
"Who do you think is the cruel and cruel old woman?!"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and an old woman with gray hair and a fierce look walked in carrying a basket.
"Oh! Dear landlady, which gust of wind brought you here? You are very welcome!"
Martin immediately slid to his knees.
"Hmph! You two little rascals who are not doing their jobs properly, when are you going to pay back the rent you owe me?"
Mrs. Miller slammed the flower-covered vegetable basket on the desk.
Roger was startled by the "bang" sound. He quickly put down his quill and reached out to grab the banknotes floating in the air.
Mrs. Miller, with quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed the banknote in her hand first, looked at the face value, and showed disdain.
"Only this little money? It's not even enough for two weeks' rent. Can your business really continue?"
"Well, dear madam, although we have a little difficulty now, the future is very bright..." Rogge said with a smile.
"I don't see any bright future for you two!"
Mrs. Miller pulled up a chair and sat across from Roger.
"I'll give you two options, either move out immediately, or do something for me. If you do it well, not only can you pay off the rent you owe, but you can also get an extra small gift."
As she spoke, Mrs. Miller lifted the calico covering the basket, revealing freshly baked bread, a bunch of sausages, and a quarter of a wheel-shaped cheese.
Martin and Roger stared directly at the food in the basket and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Dear landlady, is there anything we can do for you?" Roger said with a smile on his face.
"My daughter is married to a farmer and lives on the outskirts of the city. This year's corn harvest was good, but unfortunately the wild boar scourge caused a lot of losses."
"You two will go with me to my son-in-law's house in the countryside to destroy the group of wild boars that are destroying the cornfield. Is that okay?"
Mrs. Miller stared fiercely at the two young men, looking more terrifying than a wild boar.
"How many wild boars are there?" Martin asked cautiously.
"At least there are twenty or thirty of them."
"hiss……"
Martin took a breath and looked at each other with Rogge.
With their strength alone, dealing with so many wild boars would be very risky. If you are not careful, you will lose your life!
"Why, aren't you bragging that you can do anything?"
The landlady's face darkened.
"Either you go to the farm and hunt wild boars, or you pay me back immediately and get out of my house!"
Roger and Martin looked at each other helplessly.
In order to make a living, he had no choice but to accept the landlady's commission to hunt wild boars on a farm in the countryside.
The landlady went downstairs to hire a carriage, while Roger and Martin were packing weapons and equipment upstairs.
At the same time, Gao Fei received a system prompt that he could finally "seize the gods".
Switching the perspective to Rogge, Gao Fei first checked the character panel.

…
The male protagonist's attributes are very good, but his equipment is a notch below that of the heroine. He doesn't even have a refined weapon, which makes him miserable.
Level 1 "Magic Thief" has four professional abilities.
"Sneak Attack" and "Trap Expert" are the same as the classic thief type, in addition to two special abilities.
The "Eye of Insight" provides dark vision and can also see which spells the creatures in the field of vision are good at.
In fact, players can also see the spellcasting ability of most characters with the help of the detection function of the star disk.
The second feature of the "Eye of Insight" is optional for players, and is mainly used to trigger plot clues.
Compared with the game, the "Eye of Insight" is more useful in reality.
Because the data of every character in the game is complete, unless it is restricted by the plot, it can be detected by the star disk.
In reality, especially during the outbreak of the magic tide, new species that have not yet been included in the star disk database are often encountered, and it is impossible to see the spells that the other party is good at.
At this time, the "Eye of Insight" is more likely to see through the other party's details and provide more detailed information.
Of course, the "Eye of Insight" is not 100% reliable.
If you want to see through the other party's spell, you must first conduct a charm test and try to break through the other party's will immunity.
The core ability of the "Spell Thief" is "Stealing Spells".
The specific operation is similar to stealing a wallet from someone, except that what is stolen is not the physical object, but the opponent's spell.
Gao Fei carefully looked at the mechanism of this ability, and his brows gradually knitted up.
Jiang Feng noticed the change in her boyfriend's expression and asked softly: "The professional ability has been cut?"
Gao Fei nodded depressedly.
"In the first draft I provided, the 'Spell Thief' can steal magic with a ring number not higher than 1/2 of its own spellcasting level, rounded down."
"According to this algorithm, when the Spell Thief reaches level 18, it can steal 9th-ring magic."
