Chapter 41: The Waiter

Who is this woman, is she really just a tavern proprietress and a seller of information on Black Roses? No matter from her movements or demeanor, she looks like a character who has experienced an important assassination mission, this doubt flashed in Zhao Xin's mind, he understood that now is not the time to think about this problem, the boss lady is only about three meters away from him now, and Zhao Xin has no weapons in his hand at all, should he use magic? Or should you take out your own spear? Zhao Xin pressed the pocket behind him tightly, but from his expression, it could be seen that he was hesitating.

There were still two meters left between the blade and him.

This may not even have time to blink an eye, but in the middle of the battle, the reaction to the sudden attack determines whether you can survive or not, maybe in the eyes of the proprietress, Zhao Xin is still standing stupidly in place, but in fact, he is still thinking about the question just now.

The distance between Blade and him was less than a meter.

Has this guy been scared silly? The proprietress said so in her heart, although she seemed to be quite calm and calm, but deep down she was actually just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy...... Forget it, it seems that this job is still too early for him, so it is better to find some other easier job......

Syllable!

The slightest distraction on the battlefield means the opponent's chances, and this is once again proven at this time, because thinking about these things, the boss lady's actions seem to have become a little hesitant, but only? One? Root? Read? It was the slightest hesitation that immediately became Zhao Xin's opportunity, just when the blade that had become sluggish was almost close to his throat, he suddenly turned sideways and slammed on the boss's left wrist joint, and the sudden attack made the proprietress instantly throw the short sword aside, as long as Zhao Xin stretched out his hand, he could easily get it.

This kid...... Regardless of whether he deliberately set a trap for himself or not, judging by his reaction speed these two times, he should be able to easily avoid his attack and escape to the door, but why did he choose to block himself now, is it ...... Could it be that this boy thinks he really wants to kill him, so he wants to come and kill him? This is not the place for fights! The proprietress couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart, and without waiting for Zhao Xin to hold it, she grabbed Zhao Xin's shoulder with one hand to find a fulcrum for herself, and at the same time flew up and kicked hard at the hilt of the sword, and the short sword flew out close to Zhao Xin's arm and was nailed to the wall.

"Opportunity."

Because of this kick just now, the proprietress's body has been completely horizontal in the air and has lost its center of gravity, and the only fulcrum she can use is Zhao Xin's shoulder, taking this opportunity, Zhao Xin turned around sharply according to her rotation direction, and threw her out forcefully, at the moment when her hand released her shoulder, Zhao Xin did not dare to delay, leaned down and rushed out of the door of the tavern in a racing manner.

From the beginning, Zhao Xin didn't think about fighting her head-on, the conditions for receiving the task were very clear, "just go to the door", but looking at her appearance, he would not let himself do this easily, but according to Zhao Xin's thoughts, he just wanted to subdue her and then go out, but he didn't expect the other party to give him such an opportunity.

"Whew...... I didn't expect you to trick me" Although she was thrown out, it didn't matter with the skill of the boss lady, after landing smoothly, she still shook her right hand calmly, the cigarette in her mouth didn't even fall, turned around and walked back to the bar and took out a card to write something and handed it to Zhao Xin, smiling as if nothing had happened just now, "Talking counts, since you walked out of this door, then you can accept the job, the location is at the address on the card, They will tell you what you need to do, and if the mission is successfully completed, you can choose to take the rest of the bounty or exchange it for the equivalent of the Intelligence, good luck, and by the way, don't try to engage the Assassins in close combat unless you are sure you are good enough, as you will suffer a lot. ”

"Hmmm......"

It wasn't until this moment that the cold sweat of fear flowed down Zhao Xin's head, and at the moment when he threw her away, Zhao Xin vaguely noticed that the proprietress was shining with some kind of cold light in the sleeve of her right hand, if she really had a murderous intent just now, it was still a question whether she could block that attack, plus the assassin should have attacked from the shadows instead of attacking from the front...... No, it should be said that the reservation between the two sides brought them no small benefit.

"You...... Is it really just an ordinary tavern lady and information seller? Before leaving, Zhao Xin couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I'm just the most ordinary tavern lady in the black roses," she smiled and slatched the door gracefully, puffing out a smoke ring.

……

It's a good task, but is it really okay? Without any proof of identity, without any guarantee of any meaning, can a mission be handed over by just a few minutes of contact? Zhao Xin didn't understand how Black Rose and these people trusted each other, but since Black Rose had existed for so long, I believe there was a corresponding reason......

After questioning a few passers-by, Zhao Xin found the address recorded on the card, which was already some distance away from the entrance of the sewer, and the crowd was much smaller, in front of the gate, a team of mercenary-looking people were holding weapons and solemnly guarded there, when they noticed Zhao Xin walking here, the expressions of this group of people immediately became nervous, they clenched the weapons in their hands, and shouted to him: "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

"Introduction to Black Roses." Zhao Xin's answer was very concise, he handed the card in his hand to the mercenary in the lead, and quietly waited for his arrangement.

The mercenary took the card and looked at it, judging from his expression, he didn't trust Zhao Xin or his strength, but since he had the introduction of the black rose, he couldn't refuse: "Okay, you take this, now you go to the second layer and tell them that you have second-level authority, and they will tell you about your mission, remember not to do superfluous things, the bounty for this mission is very rich, you know what I mean." ”

After the mercenary captain handed him another card, he immediately turned around and made a gesture to open the door, which he didn't need to say, what Zhao Xin wanted was only the location information of Darius, and he was not interested in other things, of course, unless it was ......

After the door opened, the picture in front of him made Zhao Xin a little surprised, he originally thought that what appeared in front of him would be a building with gorgeous decoration, but what appeared in front of him was a straight and wide downward staircase, the sewers of Noxus are intricate, and the buildings in it are far more than one floor. What exactly is the mission this time? Zhao Xin felt a little curious.

"You're new here?"

The long staircase finally reached the second basement floor, where more people stood on the ornately decorated corridors, the walls and the top floor were finely decorated, unlike the rooms on the basement floor that still had a bit of a cave feeling, there were no natural ingredients at all, not only with carpets and ornate chandeliers, but everyone standing here was no longer like mercenaries, they were all dressed in formal waiter clothes, but from their strong figures and resolute eyes, They must be more powerful than those mercenaries on the first floor.

"Well, that guy told me I have Level 2 clearance, what should I do?"

"Level 2 clearance?" The waiter took the card and looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he took Zhao Xin to a room with money, and after pushing open the door, what appeared in front of Zhao Xin was a changing room, and there were clothes of the same style as the waiter.

"Since the level has second-level permissions, then naturally you can't be as barbaric as those guys above, and those who come here are all people with status" The waiter picked out a piece of clothing that suited Zhao Xin's size from the closet and threw it to him, and continued to explain, "Remember, the second-level authority you have can only allow you to move around on the upper floor and this floor, you are not allowed to enter the next floor and other rooms on this floor, and in addition, you are not allowed to know any information about this mission, Just make sure that this floor is free of any unauthorized personnel to pass through before the mission is completed tomorrow morning, don't try to sneak to the next floor, others here will be watching, you just need to know so much, now, hurry up and change your clothes. “

Not being told the details of the task, only the content of the task, so that you can really "trust" it...... Forget it, depending on the situation, this should just be some kind of meeting place for the Noxian nobles, and it's nothing to be a waiter for them for one night......

"Okay, where is the place I'm responsible for......"

When Zhao Xin had just changed his clothes and walked out of the room, a group of people happened to appear on the stairs, they were not nobles, but a group of soldiers wearing the official military uniforms of Demacia, when this group of people appeared, the envoys here bowed their heads and saluted, and this group of soldiers didn't seem to pay attention to them at all, and walked straight to the next floor.

Do military personnel also come to such places for recreation? Zhao Xin glanced at them, but at this glance, Zhao Xin found that there was a rather familiar guy among them, this person's appearance was almost exactly the same as that of a Noxian general he met when he accompanied the second on the expedition a year ago, and this person was now just wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier and blending in the crowd, is this just a similar appearance, or is this him? This suddenly aroused Zhao Xin's vigilance, and he unconsciously followed the group of people.
