Section 308 brave the trap

The courtyard was unexpectedly beautiful, with some faintly fragrant flowers planted on the central meadow, and the pillars of the cloister were carved with slender lines, which Arrod would surely recognize as Greek-style columns, but even if Harvey didn't recognize the Greek-style columns, she could feel the luxury of the details, and she was sure that if she walked into the rooms in this cloister, it would be gorgeous, and the wealth accumulated by the Assassins' guild was enormous.

"Has the original villain leader degenerated to become a thug of the nobility?" Cyril was dressed in leather armor with two armed leather straps converging at his waist, and a sheathed dagger stuck at his waist with reinforced iron nails nailed to the leather straps, he sneered at Harvey.

"If you've gone through what I've been through, you'll understand that when my guild was attacked, there was no one to help me." Harvey took a few steps forward, her legs crossed between the fragrant flowers and plants, Harvey couldn't figure out why these blood-stained assassins had made their territory look like a noble courtyard, perhaps to cover up the smell of fish.

"We are not obligated to help you, and don't forget that we are completely on two paths, and that kind of intimidation and robbery are child's play." Cyril said dismissively.

"It's our way of living, but that's all in the past, so let's talk about your job." Harvey saw a stone bench next to her, and walked over to sit on it, not forgetting her purpose in coming to this dangerous place.

"It's not something you should interfere with." Cyril's face had a look of dissatisfaction, the Assassins would not take anyone else's work lightly. They are like nightmares hidden in the dark, and the more unknown they are, the more awe-inspiring and mysterious.

"Don't play those tricks Cyril, we are all people who survive in the dark and know your rules very well, so I would like to know that you have accepted the commission from Count Lauzitz, I want to know the content of the commission." Harvey stretched out her hand and ruffled her hair, she knew the tricks of these assassins, and there was nothing she couldn't leak.

"Hehe, okay respected Blood Dagger Harvey, come with me." Cyril turned and walked towards a room at the end of the cloister. Harvey stood up and followed him. And curiously looked at the courtyard cloister, where the walls were adorned with shields and weapons such as swords and axes, which of course did not fit in with the elegant courtyard, but showed that it was not really a place of leisure. It's the lair of dangerous and bloody assassins.

"Squeak." The brown wooden door at the end of the hallway. Pushed away by Cyril with both hands. The heavy wooden door made a tooth-aching sound, and Cyril removed the torch from the hand of a marble man with green vines wrapped around the door, and stepped into the mysterious room.

"What is this place?" Harvey followed Cyril inside. When she stepped into the room, she found that it was very spacious, large enough to accommodate a hundred people, and the empty space would make a clear echo of footsteps when someone stepped into it.

"Whew~~~." Cyril glanced at Harvey, who was fussing, the Assassin Guild was an organization spread across all countries, some people thought that their headquarters were in the Italian city-states in the south, but others thought that they were in the Holy Land of Jerusalem, in short, no one knew where the real Assassin Guild headquarters were, which added to the mystery of this organization, Cyril put the torch in his hand in a baptisting basin on the left side of the door, only to hear the sound of flames in the basin, and then lit along the same braziers in the rows by the door, When the originally dark room was lit up, I saw that the rectangular room had a small door in the deepest part, but it was empty only the corridor formed by the smooth walls on both sides.

"Where is this?" Harvey looked at the mysterious room and asked Cyril curiously.

"At the end of that is the secret room that holds the records of the missions accepted in our Assassin Guild." Cyril stretched out his right hand and pointed to the mysterious room at the end, explaining to Harvey.

"Oh? You mean that as long as I go there, I can find the content of the mission entrusted by Count Lautz? Harvey turned his head to look at Cyril, and confirmed from Cyril's gaze that what he wanted was there, and Harvey's heart became uncertain, how could such a precious thing be simply placed there, waiting for him to pick it up.

"If you really want it, get it yourself." The corners of Cyril's mouth showed an unpredictable smile, he didn't intend to follow Harvey's meaning, Harvey's eyes rolled, she walked to Cyril's side and snatched the torch from his hand, blew out the flame of the torch, and then threw the extinguished torch towards the mysterious door, the extinguished copper torch clanged and fell to the ground, rolled for a distance before stopping, nothing seemed to happen, just as Harvey was relieved and was about to walk over, suddenly heard a small click, But it's very clear in this empty space.

"Whoosh, whoosh." Crossbow bolts were shot from the wall of the metropole, and the crossbow bolts were exactly the cephalothorax position that the man had walked past, and Harvey would have been shot through if he had recklessly walked past.

"Traps?" Harvey took a breath of cold air, and felt a chill down his spine, he didn't expect the Assassin Guild to have such a technique, she didn't know it when she grew up in the town of Mason.

"It's too late to leave." Cyril kindly said to Haviti.

"I've never tried the Assassins' traps, and I'll be sorry if I can't." However, this aroused Harvey's competitive spirit, and she took off her cloak, revealing her lean outfit, and tied her long hair back and draped it behind her head, took a few steps back, and then rushed forward like an arrow, roughly estimating that it would take more than one hundred and twenty steps to reach the mysterious wooden door.

"Ping-pong, ping-pong." Harvey's light footsteps echoed in the hall, at this time, under the light of the fire, Harvey saw clearly that the floor under his feet was a small marble brick, Harvey immediately understood in his heart, these bricks were connected to the mechanism, but the bricks she stepped on during the jump did not seem to trigger the mechanism, it seems that some of them are connected to the mechanism, and some are safe, but these bricks seem to be no different, there is no way to distinguish which are traps and those are safe.

"Goo." Harvey felt beads of sweat on her forehead, she stretched out her hand to wipe it, she stretched out her left foot to test the front, and when she stepped on it, she heard the bricks loosen and make a noise.

"Oops." Harvey's heart was shocked, the muscles of his whole body tensed, and he squatted down, ready to react at any time, but to Harvey's surprise, there were no arrows on the wall, but there was an abnormal sound above his head, Harvey hurriedly rolled on the spot to dodge, only to see a sharp sword falling straight down from the top, it turned out that not only the wall of the mecca, but also the roof was set up with a mechanism.

"Scandium~~~." The tip of the sword slammed into the ground with a crisp sound, and then it bounced down and lay on the ground horizontally, even the marble floor of the explanation was smashed into a small pit by the falling sword tip, which would definitely be lifeless if it landed on the person's head.

"Smack." Just dodged the mechanism that fell from above, Harvey was about to step on the ground in front of him with his toes, and suddenly a sense of crisis from the peeing exercise appeared, she hurriedly retracted her steps, only to see that the bricks in front of her were about to turn over, and at the moment when the bricks fell, Harvey saw that below was a spiked trap shining with cold light by the firelight.

"Insidious assassins." Harvey cursed in a low voice, feeling that there were traps on all roads in front of her, but she was like an enraged female leopard, and then the explosive power of her leg muscles rushed out, with the help of unusual speed, even if she stepped on the bricks with traps, the moment the crossbow bolts were fired, Harvey bent backwards strangely, rubbed his knees against the smooth marble floor, and rushed to the finish line with the help of inertia, and the crossbow bolts shot out from the walls on both sides above her, some of the arrows were only a few inches from the tip of her nose.

"Worthy of the blood dagger Harvey." Cyril watched Harvey dodge the trap so skillfully, and sincerely admired, the trap in this room was designed by a long-dead trap master in the Assassins' Guild, except for high-ranking Assassins who knew the order of dodging traps, almost no one could break through like this.

"Whew." Harvey faced the black roof, by this time the inertia was over, but there were still a few steps to the end, but Harvey already felt exhausted, so he stopped to catch her breath, her full chest wrapped in tight light leather armor, undulating with heavy breathing.

"Click~~~." When the crossbow bolts on the wall were fired, there was a sound from the ceiling of the roof, Harvey immediately turned over and jumped forward, her judgment was correct, and all kinds of weapons fell from the ceiling of the roof, in addition to swords, blunt weapons such as cross-winged hammers, and immediately smashed the ground into potholes, and marble stone chips flew everywhere, because Harvey's speed was extremely fast, these weapons seemed to follow her closely, and finally when she stepped on a section of ground made of red rocks, The weapons on the ceiling stopped falling, and it seemed that Harvey had reached his destination safely.

"Hey, it's really unlucky, it looks like it's going to cost a lot of money to repair." Cyril looked worriedly at the mess of the confidential room, where the walls were covered with crossbow bolts and the smooth marble bricks on the ground were pitted as the stone dust from the weapons had stopped.
