Chapter 17 Shadow Sequence - Wanderer

There weren't many people in the park.

Xiao En found a place to sit down. Behind him was a large banyan tree with a vast crown. He didn't know much about trees and could only make out the maple and cypress trees nearby. Not far away was a flower bed surrounded by a fence. In the center was a square paved with marble slabs. On the steps in the distance was a huge nameless monument.

There were some young people having a casual dinner here, spreading a white cloth on the green lawn. They looked like a group of college students.

It is remarkable that there are three universities in Dorne. The closest one is Caesar University, which is basically an aristocratic school.

There are restaurants nearby.

Sean's lunch was a fried fish fillet with lemon, a vegetable salad and olive oil. It was hard to describe the taste, as eating grass was indeed not his habit. It cost 11 dinars, which was not cheap.

However, the restaurant gave us a cup of black tea with milk and sugar.

Very sweet.

Xiao En was not used to drinking.

After a stroll in the park area, Sean went straight to the dock factory. Listening to the roar of whistles coming from afar, he sat on a bench, gazing into the distance and daydreaming.

The dock area is rather dirty.

However, there is a sense of market life here, with crowded streets, hawkers, and people coming and going. Although the city hall has sent people to manage it, the shops along the way still put out their goods and occupy a little street. The market is crowded with people. Citizens with ordinary conditions will come here to buy daily necessities because the prices are much cheaper. All kinds of fruits and vegetables are piled up on both sides of the market, and it can be seen that the people here have a good standard of living.

Xiao En picked up three tomatoes, looked up and asked, "How much?"

The boss was an old woman in her fifties. She was a little surprised that Xiao En came to the market in such decent clothes. She raised her index finger and said, "1 Seth."

The purchasing power of 1 dollar is still acceptable.

The other side led to the livestock area. From a distance he could smell the odor of cow and sheep dung, as well as a faint smell of blood after slaughter. Sean looked at the mud on the ground mixed with cow and sheep dung, then turned around and left.

He still had more than 2,900 dinars on him.

That's a lot of money.

The bulletin board next to the dock area is filled with job openings. Formal workers are more popular, with salaries of around 300-400 dinars per month. Other temporary workers do not earn much at all. The women who do laundry only earn 100 dinars per month, which is barely enough to make ends meet.

The food here is very popular.

There are many small shops selling food on both sides of the market, some of which don't even have a place to sit. Vegetable wraps are 3 sets, meat stew is 5 sets, and minced meat pasta is 7 sets, which is the closest to Sean's taste, because it tastes a bit like the pasta in his previous life.

The food here is a bit like Western Italian cuisine.

There are dock workers who consume here, and the cost of a meal is about 1.2 dinars.

Here, formal workers are considered a relatively wealthy group.

"Sir." A patrolling policeman spotted Xiao En. He was not sure if he was a policeman, but he might be an auxiliary policeman or something like that. He was wearing an old uniform and holding a baton. He was very friendly to Xiao En and said politely, "This is not a place for a respectable person like you to come."

“Watch your wallet.”

When Xiao En took out his wallet, he seemed to attract some malicious looks. He noticed it slightly and nodded in thanks, "Okay. Thank you."

The city of Dorne is indeed a bustling metropolis.

On the left side of the pier is a low and messy old city area, which is undergoing urban transformation. Many outsiders come here because the rent is cheap, only 20-30 dinars per month. On the right side are newly built residential buildings, which are generally three-story buildings, and most of the residents are people with stable jobs.

Xiao En felt like he was being watched.

"Gangster?" Xiao En frowned.

Places like the docks are a mixed bag of people. When he was taking out money at the market just now, his bulging wallet was exposed. He might have been targeted at that time.

A middle-aged man with a beard, a young man wearing a beret, and a thin little boy.

Sean didn't want to cause trouble.

He turned around and prepared to leave the dock area, but at this moment a bell suddenly rang, and then a crowded crowd appeared in front of his sight.

This is a three-way intersection.

The time was 12:05. It was the time when the workers in the dock area were leaving get off work. A large number of people also came out from the shipyard port. Some vendors who did not have fixed stalls were also rushing to the dock area because the factories here had a half-hour lunch break.

In the morning, patrol police drove away the street vendors, so there were few of them. But now they were allowed to set up temporary stalls to earn a little money. Most of these vendors were children and women, and the goods they provided were mainly food. The workers in the dock area basically had lunch nearby.

The hour at noon is when the flow of people here is the busiest.

Xiao En keenly sensed something was wrong, because the only person left at the corner of the market was the middle-aged man with a big beard.

They are going to attack themselves!
Sean clenched the umbrella in his hand. This thing was more like a decoration, a bit of a British style habit. In Dorne, one only needed to carry an umbrella at all times during the rainy season.

He moved through the crowded crowd, preparing to leave, while looking around vigilantly, searching for the other two people.

They must be a group of pickpockets.

The crowded crowd made Xiao En's movement very slow. There were two streams of people at this three-way intersection, all rushing towards the dock area, leaving Xiao En, who happened to be walking to the intersection, in a dilemma.

Xiao En, who was walking through the crowded crowd, suddenly felt someone touching his back. He turned around alertly and saw a girl with an apologetic look on her face. She was carrying a basket filled with dry and hard black bread, some of which had fallen to the ground.

"I'm sorry, sir." The girl apologized hurriedly.

She seemed to be bumped by someone and staggered a little, and even the bread fell to the ground. Because she cherished food, she was afraid that passers-by would step on it, so she quickly squatted down to protect it and picked it up.

The girl was wearing shabby clothes, and the food might be a significant daily expense for her family.

Xiao En subconsciously wanted to help, but suddenly he stood up alertly, stretched out his right hand in an instant, and directly grabbed the young man who passed by him like a loach. But at this moment, another thin figure bumped into his left shoulder, and before Xiao En could react, he felt someone touching his pocket.

An extremely dexterous right hand stretched out like a butterfly flying through flowers, with a special sharp knife pinched between the index finger and middle finger. It cut open the pocket and took away Sean's wallet in an instant.

There is a thief!
Xiao En grabbed a thin arm. The other party seemed a little surprised and uttered a cry. The palm turned over instantly and Xiao En felt a slight pain. Then the hand retracted like lightning. By the time Xiao En reacted, the wallet in his pocket had been stolen.

Right in front of him, two thieves worked together to steal his wallet. When he wanted to look for them, the two men had disappeared into the crowd like loaches.

There was no wound on Xiao En's palm, just a little numbness.

"Shadow Sequence, Wanderer." Xiao En frowned. He didn't expect that he would meet other extraordinary people so soon.

After advancing to become a transcendent, Xiao En's physical fitness and five senses have all improved. Although he is not as abnormal as the butcher who moves at a speed that is almost invisible to the naked eye, it is not easy for ordinary people to get close to him.

If it weren't for the final sting, Xiao En would not have been able to confirm his identity as a supernatural being and would have thought that he had encountered an extremely skilled thief.

The raw magic power in Xiao En's body surged.

This means that the other party has just used supernatural powers. When supernatural beings fight head-on, they can instantly recognize each other's identities, and all supernatural abilities have a sense of resonance when they are activated.

The extraordinary people in the Wanderer sequence are extremely agile, and Sean's spellcasting sequence is simply unable to keep up with the opponent's speed.

"Is it the magician's hand?"

Xiao En had just recently completed the general knowledge of the mystical side, and he had only read half of the Twelve Mythological Paths, which happened to include the Shadow Sequence Wanderer, Assassin, Phantom, Ghost Face, etc. The opponent should not be a high-sequence Wanderer, otherwise Xiao En would not even have time to react.

Extraordinary people in the real world are very rare, and most of them do not have a formal inheritance. They often gain a trace of extraordinary power by chance.

People like Sean who had Ms. Herat as their mentor from the very beginning belong to an extremely rare inheritance faction.

"After the essence of the world was taken away."

"All supernatural powers are locked, and most of the twelve mythological paths are opened by souls from other worlds."

"Because the souls from other worlds all have unique talents."

"In the beginning, they were the ones who stole back a portion of the supernatural essence from the unspeakable terror."

Some souls from other worlds are born with extraordinary abilities. Even because of their arrival, the mythological paths of the grotesque kingdom have been expanded from the original five paths to the current twelve mythological paths.

After the promotion of the extraordinary people in the Wanderer Sequence, it is basically the same as Assassin's Creed.
