Chapter Eighty-Nine: Clemenza
Hearing this, Yi Hui almost squirted out a sip of tea, his eyes widened and he looked at Agent, who was embarrassed to drink tea, and asked, "Master Argent, is this a joke?" You are well-known in the thief circle of the entire continent, and you have a reputation as a ghost, how can you be eliminated in the first round? ”
Argent coughed twice, put down the teacup, stared at the chandelier on the ceiling that was slightly swayed by the wind, and said leisurely: "That's a matter for the future, didn't I just level five when I participated in the competition?" And it was not long after comprehending the shadow fighting spirit that I was arrested to participate in this competition.,To be honest.,I really don't want to go.,Instead of embarrassing people in the ring, I'd better honestly play more skins and practice skills.。 Isn't this Mr. Duck pressing? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Argent felt that he had said something wrong, and he said apologetically to Yi Hui: "I'm sorry, I let you go to the competition but I said such unambitious words myself, but you are much stronger than me back then, you have to fight for our Thieves Guild." Mr. Duck said that if you can make it to the second game, he will allow me to teach you all the techniques of the Shadow Stream. As for vindictiveness, it's up to you whether to learn or not, do you think that's good? ”
Yi Hui waved his hand and said, "Master Argent, don't talk like that, I didn't participate in the competition for your genre skills, just a notebook has already benefited me a lot." I'll talk about that later, but I'll prepare for the competition first. ”
Argent said: "It's okay, it's up to you to decide when the time comes, as long as you complete this mission, the Grenoble Thieves' Guild will give you everything you can." ”
The matter of the competition is basically over here, Argent and Yi Hui finished the refreshments and went to the thieves' guild together, after all, this competition requires Yi Hui to go to the capital Clemensa's general trade union, and there are always some procedures that need to be handled quickly.
At present, Yi Hui still has the level of a Level 1 thief in the guild's files, which is not eligible to participate in the competition, so the first thing to complete is to make up for Yi Hui.
The stealth test, the dodge test, the attack and the accurate test, Yi Hui passed with a perfect score unexpectedly, although the means of passing were still slightly worse than Argent.
When it came to the lockpicking subject, due to the previous rich level 3 practice lock unlocking foundation and the various locks provided by Agent for regular exercise, Yi Hui didn't have any big problems. It's just that Yi Hui found a problem in the process of unlocking, that is, the door locks of each door are relatively simple in the same type, and the handle is like this, which does not cause much obstacle to him at all, and there is no difficulty at all.
Yi Hui came out of the other end of the lock subject examination room, and Argent was already waiting for him at the exit with a badge representing a level 5 thief, accompanied by an old man with a full style. The old man was wearing a black hooded robe, and his two arms were hidden in the wide sleeves of his robe, the beard on his face was very clean, and his two eyebrows drooped slightly to the sides, very sparse.
"Is this the legendary embarrassment?" Thinking like this, Yi Hui couldn't help but look at the old man a few more times.
The old man obviously also noticed that Yi Hui's eyes were moving in his head, a pair of eagle eyes gradually sharpened, and Yi Hui, who was being stared at tightly, actually felt a chill, as if someone grabbed the collar of a cotton coat and poured a handful of snow into it in winter.
Fortunately, Argent relieved him at this time, and he pinned the level 5 thief badge to Yi Hui's chest and said: "Yi Hui, from today onwards, you will officially become a level 5 thief, and if you go up further, in addition to showing your fighting spirit to the guild, the next thing is to accumulate prestige." ”
Yi Hui handed over his Level 1 Thief Badge and said to Argent, "Master Argent, there is one thing I can't think clearly, why has the subject of this lockpicking exam become so easy?" Almost all of them are the lowest difficulty locks of each level, are you deliberately draining water? ”
At this time, the old man standing on the side opened his mouth, he stared at Yi Hui and said, "What, have an opinion?" I mean to arrange this exam, and since your stealth is more difficult, it makes sense to appropriately lower the subject of unlocking, which is not very related to the competition. We don't have that much time for you to retake the exam again. Boy, to be honest, I also watched your exam last time, and I have some impressions, and it seems that you have really put in a lot of hard work this time. Argent assures me that you will represent our guild in the competition, and I hope you will live up to the trust. ”
Yi Hui was so frightened by the old man's fierce eyes that he didn't dare to speak nonsense, he looked at Argent, hoping that he could give an answer.
Argent said to Yi Hui, "Oh, I haven't introduced it yet, this is my teacher, the head of the Grenoble Thieves' Guild, the master of the Shadow Stream, Dak Shadar. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Master Shadar, I have heard of your deeds for a long time, and it is a great honor to be able to meet you today." Yi Hui hurriedly stepped forward to salute, after all, this old man is also an old-timer in the thief world, and he is the mentor of Master Argent, so it is always right to be respectful.
Seeing Yi Hui's respectful posture, Dak Shadar's face finally looked better. He said to Yi Hui: "Boy, when I participated in the competition at your age, our Thieves' Guild and the Assassins' Guild were barely able to draw each other, and sometimes we could even win one or two games, but it seems that it has really been a little worse in the past few years. I've also seen your so-called "deception magic" stream thief skills, which is a bit interesting, and I hope you juniors can get some face back for our Thieves Guild. ”
Yi Hui said modestly: "This Master Agent has already instructed me, I will definitely do my best." ”
After everything was done, Argent took Yi Hui on a journey to Clemensa, the capital of the Hanseatic Empire. Located to the west of Grenoble, Clemença is a city built on a plain.
Since there is a path between the two places, the time it takes to get to the capital is only two months, and thanks to the modified bolt number, the road is not very hard. The first time Master Argent sat on the Bolt, he felt strange, after all, he had never touched anything like machinery before.
Surprise to surprise, after all, Argent is old, but he still holds it, just asked a few small questions and no longer cares about what this mecha is, he sat in the back seat and dozed off with peace of mind, driving and other things are completely left to Yi Hui, anyway, Yi Hui will not get lost if he has a magic map. Presumably Master Argent is more interested in thieves and leatherman's work?
After more than two months of night and night, Yi Hui and Argent finally arrived at the central city of the entire Hanseatic Empire, the capital Clemenza.
Clemença was more than five or six times larger than Grenoble, and it was the political center of the entire Hanseatic Empire. Looking at it from a distance, the white city wall made of marble more than ten zhang high gave Yi Hui a strong sense of visual impact, like a monster lying on the plain. The square and round towers of arrows, magical defense towers, and towers of defending equipment are the claws and teeth of this monster, showing the world its powerful defensive capabilities.
On the northwest side of the wall, a moat was dug up to 100 meters wide, through which the canal could be reached, providing Clemenza with defense and facilitating transportation. The east gate of Clemença was a land route, and the connection between the gate and the road was not a drawbridge in the usual sense, because the moat was too wide, and it was connected by a stone bridge that rose and fell at the bottom of the river. The west gate leads to the canal, and ships often enter and exit the city, and the gate is a large iron gate forged from dwarven steel with thick corbels, which is usually raised by iron cables, and in case of any emergency, the iron cables on the city gate can be completely cut off from the waterways inside and outside the city.
Standing guard on either side of the tall city gate were the Clemensa City Guards, who were well-armoured and well-trained, and who could be selected for the ranks were at least level 4 or higher.
Due to the obstruction of the city wall, Yi Hui was able to see the appearance of the city was not very specific, and when he entered it, he knew that Clemensa, as the capital, was actually so prosperous and lively.
The magic map has all the detailed information in Clemenza City, but some of the information is relatively old and somewhat inconsistent with the real situation, it seems that this thankless "world exploration mission" of the mercenary union is really not willing to accept it, and the information on the map has not been updated for a long time.
Fortunately, the addresses of several major guilds do not change at any time like the various shops on the street, and Yi Hui easily found some major professional guild addresses on the map.
Holding the magic map, Yi Hui searched around the central square of Clemenza, but he didn't find the Thieves' Guild. Argent watched Yi Hui look for it from the side, and didn't bother him.
"Master Argent, isn't the Thieves' Guild in this capital also a secret place? Like Grenoble, an authentic? Yi Hui searched for a long time without results, and finally asked Argent.
Argent smiled and said, "Actually, yes, but it's a little different. Come on, Yi Hui, follow me, that place will not be marked on the map. ”
Originally, Yi Hui thought that Argent would lead him to the dark alleys of Clemensa, because it was actually marked on the map as the area where the two guilds of the Thieves and Assassins were located. But in fact, Argent took Yi Hui in the opposite direction.
They had arrived at a tavern in the trading district of Clemenza city center. Argent took Yi Hui to push the door and walked in like this.
The tavern is filled with the pungent smell of a variety of liquors, such as dwarven ale, sailor's rum, and mead, which is usually drunk by ordinary people.
The drinkers were shouting loudly, raising their glasses for one purpose under any name and for any reason - cheers!
Argent came to the bar and said to the bald boss with a pair of goldfish eyes who was wiping the glass behind the bar: "Boss, two glasses of Ozor should be stored in a cellar at a depth of more than 50 meters for more than 15 years, and the newer the barrel, the better......
