Chapter 3: Secrets
It turns out that all five rooms of the Thieves' Guild are common. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It was through the passage between Room 5 and Room 1 that Haval came to him.
Each of the five rooms has a lounge, but the lounge is built so discreetly that ordinary people can't spot the seam between the door and the wall.
"Come on, let me reintroduce myself."
Nasol stood up, saluted gracefully to Ash, and said, "I, Nasol, the head of the Thieves' Guild, is now ranked first in the Guild's Theft and Killing. ”
Fortune jumped and said, "I, and me." ”
"Hehe, you've seen this, his name is Zhaocai, and he is a talking crystal ball."
If Zhaocai had a head, he must have flares up, in fact, he turned his anger into action, slammed into Nasol's waist, and roared, "Bastard monster boy, you should say that I am an ancient treasure, a legacy of the thief King Jin, erudite, personable, and extremely handsome Zhaocai master!" ”
Nasol shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just your round crystal ball, where does it match your personable and handsome appearance?" ”
"Who said that I think how many beautiful women fell in love with me back then, how many..."
Nasol grinned and said, "Alright, stop daydreaming." ”
Zhaocai felt that if he had a line of reason, he would definitely have been stretched off by now.
"I'm!"
He jumped to his feet and rushed towards the door of Nasol, only to be caught by a hand that stretched out halfway, and it was ash.
"What are you doing? Let me go! ”
Zhaocai struggled, but he couldn't figure it out, the woman in front of him seemed to be thin, but the strength on her body was very great, no matter how he collided, the five fingers were still firmly buckled on his body, making him unable to move.
Faintly. Ash spoke, "You're the king of thieves' crystal ball?" ”
"yes, Ash, what, you're interested in him?"
"Hmm."
Nasol was stunned for a moment, and then figured it out, this should not be Ash's own thoughts, probably because Pink Jingjing or Nossi were interested in recruiting money, so she asked out loud.
Lucky snorted, "That's right. I'm so good, if you know me, put me down! ”
The crystal ball was held in the palm of the hand by Ash and held for a closer look. Both Pink Jingjing and Noxisi saw the true appearance of Zhaocai, and couldn't help but be amazed.
"Is this alchemy in antiquity? I can even make the crystal ball speak. ”
"No, I read in the book that alchemy is forbidden to make life."
"Giggles, maybe this crystal ball doesn't count as life? Just talking. ”
Ash looked at Zhao Cai for a while, and then let him go. Zhao Cai breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly jumped away from this strange woman.
Nasol added a cup of milk tea to Haval and began to explain.
"Ash, do you remember the test when the thief apprentice was identified?"
Ash nodded.
"Although there are only two simple items, it tests people's physical fitness and observation."
"If you haven't exercised simple physical arts. Or practice throwing darts all day long, and you won't get a high score in this one. ”
"And in the lockpicking, we deliberately set up doors from different periods. It is a test of people's observation and whether they can find the fastest way to unlock the lock in the shortest time. ”
"The truly powerful thieves are not those who have no plans, but those who have a flexible mind."
Nasol looked a little different, as if he had changed someone. With a bit of majesty.
It's just that the next moment, he came to the gray with a shy smile. "This is the test benchmark that I improved with Haval, how about it, I'm amazing." ”
Ash declined to comment, and his eyes were on the worn-out diary in Haval's hand.
With a look of pride and nostalgia, Haval opened the diary full of age.
Page after page, full of people's names, but most of them were crossed out with red ink.
Ash watched quietly, the only names that had not been crossed out she did not recognize, and she did not have the curiosity to ask.
Until she saw Kim's name.
Haval's hand turning the page also stopped at this moment.
Kim - Hilton, the name of the King of Thieves.
"There is no doubt that the owner of this name is the king of thieves."
Nasol chuckled and said, "This diary is a book that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Thieves' Guild to record the names of objects worthy of cultivation. ”
"The owner of the diary is Kanander, the former partner of the king of thieves, Kim, and together the two of them founded the Thieves' Guild and led the rise of the thief profession. At the same time, Kananda was also the first president of our Thieves Guild. ”
"He has a quirk of writing down the names of powerful people he pays attention to, and then observing his future development, and Kim was once a member of his diary."
"It's just that after countless years of development, this diary has now become what we use to record talents."
Haval nodded, and Nasol explained to him that every thief guild would have one such diary, but the one in Haval's hand was the original.
Whenever a new person joins, the person in charge of testing will definitely observe the newcomer's ability, and Ash happens to be the one who Haval thinks has development potential.
"This fortune is also one of the treasures left behind by Lord Jin, the king of thieves, although his personality is a little peculiar, and his speech is a little noisy, but he knows a lot of things, knows a lot of ancient secrets, and it can be regarded as a treasure of the Thieves Guild."
Zhaocai originally heard Nasol say that he was not good, and his expression was angry, but later, his eyebrows were raised, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and he looked proud.
Ash looked at the crystal ball, remembered the illusion he had performed earlier, and asked.
"Oh, you said the illusion."
Nasol said, "That's this guy's mental magic, and this guy is only going to do this, and we use it to test the mental quality of those who want to become thieves." ”
"There are many killer missions for stealing and killing, and we don't want to have guys with low psychological quality and no blood."
Ash said that she understood, she had seen many masters from the academy, fighting in the ring and using lasers and laser weapons was absolutely tough, but if she really wanted them to participate in flesh-and-blood hand-to-hand combat, none of them could exert half of their original strength.
Only blood has really been seen. Those who grow up in the baptism of blood and fire are the real strong.
Rubbing his hands, Nasol smiled, "But I really didn't expect you to be so powerful." ”
"The illusion that ordinary people take a few days, or even ten days to break, is broken in the blink of an eye, which really makes me admire."
At the beginning, it took him a full five days to unravel the illusion, and from this point of view, Ash's spiritual power was much stronger than him.
Nasol wondered if Grey didn't have any other racial traits. He really doesn't treat Ash as a Terran anymore.
Fortune is not an ordinary crystal ball, but the treasure of the thief king Jin in ancient times, and after tens of millions of years. Spiritual power has long developed to an unimaginable level.
Even if the Grand Magus Yonkad was here, Nasol believed it would take him a few minutes to break through the illusion.
This gray is so curious to pique him.
The general explanation Ash had understood, and she nodded faintly. "Do you need to continue testing?" ”
"Hehe, I still want it. Breaking through the illusion is only the first level. ”
"The second level is for me to test my skills directly, but since I've played against you before, I don't need to use this test."
Zhaocai muttered quietly, "It's not fair." ”
He was kicked away by Nasol.
"You just have to finish third. That is, the last test, complete any A-level or above task within half a year. ”
"You can team up, you can go solo. But you're the main force in completing the mission. ”
"Before the third level is completed, you can only be regarded as quasi-stealing, but in this half year, you will enjoy no different treatment from other thefts."
"If you don't complete the task after half a year, you can't apply to become a thief again for three years."
The reason why the treatment is not different. It's actually very simple, and you can pass the second level. The thief who makes Nasol admit must be very skilled, and the A-class mission will not hinder him.
This third level is said to be a test, but in fact, it is just a routine ritual to prove that the other party has the strength to complete A-level tasks.
After saying that, Nasol smiled, patted Ash on the shoulder, and said, "Ash, there is absolutely no problem with your words. ”
"But I said, Ash, you can break the illusion of fortune in an instant, so that he doesn't even have time to escape, how many levels of your spiritual power has reached?"
Ash shook her head, she had never measured it.
Zhaocai on the side was very dissatisfied with Nasol's "belittling" of him between the lines, and muttered quietly and angrily, "Look down on me." ”
"I didn't use all my strength just now, during the Great War of the Ancients, if it weren't for me, would the master have escaped from the hands of the Black Tower Clan."
He said it very quietly, but unfortunately the people and elves present were very sharp-eared, and immediately caught the new words he spoke.
"The Black Towers..."
Even with Haval, the three of them cast stares at the crystal ball.
Zhao Cai shut up fiercely, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, the cold sweat that did not exist on the door of his head flowed, and he had no confidence, "I remembered... I still have something to do... I... I'll go first..."
Before he could jump, Nasol grabbed him with a meaningful smile.
"Don't worry, don't worry, tell us about the Black Tower clan first."
"Why have we known each other for so long, but we've never heard you mention it?"
Zhaocai anxiously handed Haval a look for help, but Haval took a sip of milk tea, as if he didn't see it.
And the ashes, the heart throbbed for a while.
Her instincts told her that this was the Darktower clan that had a lot to do with her.
Fortune was laid flat on the table, and the three of Nasol, Haval, and Ash presented a golden triangle, just blocking all his escape positions.
He regretted it in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that his anger and blood were surging because the illusion was so easily broken today, he wouldn't have leaked his mouth. He had never been so discouraged, and he was usually the only one who "tortured" the newcomers with his illusions, and even Nasol often suffered from him.
Pink Jingjing and Nossisi took food and prepared to listen to the story.
"It's delicious."
"yes, it's a pity that there are too few types."
The food industry in this continent is not developed, but fortunately, Migrena is very talented in cooking, making several kinds of sweet and delicious brioche bread, cut into small pieces for the two small, plus the candy that Molica bought, the two small snacks are not small.
But no matter how delicious it is. If you eat the same thing repeatedly, you will get tired.
The two couldn't help but think of the matcha that Ash said earlier, so what kind of delicious is it?
Seeing that he couldn't escape, he wanted to simply pretend to be garlic, but when he saw the ashes of murderous intent all over his body, he couldn't help rolling a few steps backwards, and said it all very spinelessly.
This Heta tribe is a race that once existed in ancient times.
"In ancient times, humans and the Black Tower were indestructible rivals. ”
"Because the Black Tower Clan lives by devouring human beings, and is the natural enemy of human beings."
"It's like a snake that loves to eat mice. Frog-like, Black Tower eats humans. The difference is that they only eat humans. and not eating other foods. ”
"The human * and the soul are the nutrients for the growth of the Black Tower clan."
The two little pairs of eyes widened and felt incredible, how could this happen?
"Oh my God, it's scary!"
Just imagine that scene. The whole body trembled when he was two young.
"The Heta clan stirred up trouble in ancient times, leaving their bones scattered for a while, and it was my great master, and his companions, who embarked on a crusade against them, and finally emerged victorious. Eliminated these natural enemies of humanity. ”
Speaking in one breath, Zhaocai saw that the three of them all had thoughtful expressions.
Mmmm, not 100% honest though. But that's pretty much it.
Zhaocai was very satisfied with his lies, although in the end the master and they won, but in order to destroy the Black Tower clan, the vitality of the twelve gods was greatly damaged, and the masters also became the human pillars of the seal...
Come to think of it. His mood suddenly fell to the bottom again.
Shaking his head, he quickly cheered up. For the sake of his master, he must wait for the turn of events in the place prophesied by the goddess of the moon, the turn of events that will save his master.
Nasol and Haval wonder why this history is not recorded in the history books.
It is impossible for human beings to completely ignore and record their natural enemies, the Black Tower clan, and not leave any warning or clues for future generations.
It is human nature to exaggerate one's victories and describe one's exploits.
Not to mention the history of this victory over natural enemies?
Unless, the history of the Black Tower clan is related to the history that disappeared, and the great war of the ancient period.
Nasol's eyes flashed with interest.
Patting her little chest, Pink Jingjing realized it and said, "Fortunately, they have been wiped out, otherwise the human race would have been miserable." ”
Nossi nodded frequently, although he didn't like humans, he didn't like to see them eaten.
Ash is the only one who doesn't have a bad feeling for the Black Towers.
Cannibalism is a common occurrence in the interstellar garbage stars and arenas, and there are even several famous stalemate battles in the interstellar arena, which eventually evolved into cannibalism.
After all, humans are just one of the higher animals, and besides, Ash has never had a good impression of humans as a group.
No, that was before, but now she has a bond.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that the real Blacktower people, although they look no different from ordinary humans, their skin is blue and purple. Very well distinguished. ”
"This is also the main sign that my wise master and his friends have identified the Heta. ”
Gray heart, Pink Jingjing and Nossisi also frowned.
The person I saw at Viscount Fan's house before seemed to have blue and purple skin.
However, Zhaocai said that the Heta clan had been exterminated... It can't be that coincidental, right?
"Maybe it's the lights."
"yes, it must be a coincidence."
The two are innocent, but gray knows in their hearts that her eyes will never be wrong.
The blue-skinned man brought her a very strong sense of oppression, but whether he was really a member of the Black Tower clan or not, as long as there was any disadvantage to David and them, Ash would never sit idly by.
(The Black Tower family explained some of the content a little, and the next thing is the real life, and the knowledge of the gray is going to show its skills~ Ask for a monthly ticket... (To be continued)
