Chapter 56: The Thieves' Guild (Supplementary Chapter)
"Okay, that's all I can say to you, and the only thing I can fully do is the 'synchronous' stage, and I'm not very proficient in 'asynchronous'. The rest is up to you. After Scott roughly explained the cultivation of dual wielding, he patted Yi Hui on the shoulder and said, "I, Scott, are still very accurate in seeing people, and I believe that you will be able to achieve dual wielding." ”
Yi Hui silently figured out the cultivation essentials that Scott said, and felt that it was still a little difficult to completely achieve this, so he said to Scott sincerely: "Thank you, Scott, your experience has saved me a lot of detours, no matter what, I have written down this favor of yours." ”
"Okay, it's time for me to get down to business, I need to go and see if we haven't been back for a few days and have enough food in the warehouse." After saying that, Scott headed for the regimental storeroom.
Yi Hui looked at the back of Scott's departure and was full of emotion, he has always had a traditional concept of "being a teacher for a lifetime, being a teacher for life". For a long time, Scott has taught Yi Hui everything, and Yi Hui has also embarked on the road of thieves under his teaching. There is an old saying in China, which says, "Teach boxing not to teach steps, teach steps to beat the master", all those who are masters must leave a hand to prevent apprentices from surpassing themselves, and Scott completely taught his experience to Yi Hui without selfishness, which shows that Scott is a real person.
Packing up his emotions, Yi Hui continued to start exercising dual wielding, this time he put away his weapon and lifted the dumbbell on the training ground and began to exercise the strength of his left hand alone, and the training was half a day, until he felt tired and did not stop.
"You can't be a fat man with a bite, so you can eat." Yi Hui put down the dumbbell and left the training ground with a loose and sore arm.
The next time, under the guidance of Scott, Yi Hui went to the thieves' union to sign up for the thieves' professional qualification exam.
The Thieves' Guild in Grenoble is located in the most remote corner of the Thieves' Quarter, rather than in a conspicuous location next to the town square, as is the Mercenary Guild. If it weren't for someone who had been to the mercenary guild to lead Yi Hui, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to find the Thieves Guild at all, because the entrance to this guild was too biased.
Scott took Yi Hui to a dark alley and walked in, Yi Hui thought to himself: "Drill the alley again, do you have to keep drilling the alley when you are a thief?" Walking all the way to the end of the alley, Yi Hui found that there was no road ahead.
"Hey, Scott, are we on the wrong track? This dead end is coming, hurry up and go back, you haven't been here for a long time, have you? Yi Hui said.
Scott waved his hand with his back to Yi Hui and said, "Don't make trouble, watch carefully, and come back to yourself next time." ”
I saw Scott bend down on the ground as if he was looking for something, "Ah, there is." Here it is. Scott lifted an iron ring hidden in the crack of the floor tiles, pulled the long one three times, and then pulled the short one twice, and then turned back to Yi Hui with a puzzled face and said: "Look, this is this month's contact code, three long and two short, this will change from time to time." It's a tradition from the early years, and that's what it is anyway. ”
As he spoke, one of the floor tiles in the alley sank and made a dull rumbling sound, revealing a staircase leading to the ground after the tiles sank. The stairwell was dark but fairly clean.
"Go down, this is the Thieves' Guild." Scott said.
Yi Hui felt a chill in his heart, isn't it a legitimate profession to be a thief in this world, and there is a specific division of occupations, I didn't expect to establish a guild in such a remote place like this, and hide the entrance with an almost perverted method. This is very different from Yi Hui's expectations, in his imagination, this thief guild should have a decent hall like the mercenary union, but he didn't expect to drill tunnels to enter.
Well, go in and go in. Yi Hui followed Scott down the stairs.
Unlike the narrow entrance, the underground area of the Thieves' Guild reached by Yi Hui through a long tunnel was not small, and it was also very bright, with torches lit everywhere for lighting.
"With so many torches down here, it's not boring?" Yi Hui asked, he was very puzzled by this. As far as he knew, burning consumed oxygen, and lighting so many torches in such an underground confined space was an act of death.
Scott said: "You don't have to worry about this, this is a solution to the ventilation problem, and there is no need to worry about these problems for such a large thief guild." ”
"I see."
Coming to the lobby of the Thieves' Guild, Yi Hui saw that the furnishings below were similar to those of the Mercenary Guild, and there were also different counters for various affairs. But unlike the mercenary union, no matter how many people there are here, the atmosphere is still quite quiet, and whether it is handing over tasks or handling affairs, it is all carried out in a quiet atmosphere.
Yi Hui came to the thief identity registry, where thieves who had just entered the industry had to register a thief's identity, and a staff member received him.
"First time here, right? Fill out this information form first and fill in your personal information. Who are your introducers? The staff quickly handed Yi Hui a form for him to fill out.
"Introducer? Scott bar. Yi Hui said, and filled Scott's name in the introducer column with a pen.
"Oh, just fill in your introducer here." The staff pointed to a blank space in the form for Yi Hui to fill it in.
Yi Hui completed the registration step according to the staff's instructions to really become a trainee thief, and then Scott took him to the "Grade Qualification Office" to register for the exam, Yi Hui had already recorded it before, so the registration step was completed quite quickly, and the information was transferred directly to the registration office.
Just as Yi Hui was about to leave after reporting his name, someone stopped him from behind.
"Yi Hui, if I'm not mistaken, your name is Yi Hui, right? It's been a long time, and the gear on your body still doesn't fit? The person who stopped him was Argent, Qiza said that Argent was here to organize the examination affairs during this time, and sure enough, Yi Hui met him as soon as he came. Argent's dress in the thieves' guild was not the same as that of the leather goods store, and now he changed into a set of pitch-black cloaks, and in the cloak was also a set of fast-dressed suits, a typical thief's dress.
"Master Argent, I am glad to see you, your craftsmanship is so good, I am very satisfied." Yi Hui responded politely.
Scott stood aside and looked at Argent as if he had seen his idol, and said to Argent: "Master Argent, it's a pleasure to meet you, I am the level 3 thief Scott, the introducer of Yi Hui. ”
"Scott." Argent's wire-like lips curled slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said, "You have a good eye, and you are very good to have unearthed such a promising newcomer for the thief team." ”
"Where, Yi Hui himself wants to be a thief, I'm just introducing it." Scott said embarrassedly.
Yi Hui thought to himself next to him, it seems that this person named Argent is very famous in the thief circle.
"Oh yes, Yi Hui, are you here today to take the thief professional qualification exam?" Argent said.
"Yes, it's been so long since I became an official thief, and I want to know where I've got." Yi Hui said.
"Well, that's right, I still remember your stealth skills, and I want to know what your true strength is." Argent said, "Well, it's not early, I still have something to do, Scott, you can take Yi Hui around first to familiarize yourself with the environment." After all, if you sign up as a thief, you need to come often, and if you look for me recently, just report it in the council hall here, and I'll go back to the store when I'm done with it, I don't know if this guy should be able to deal with it. ”
"Yes, Master Argent." Scott bowed and watched Argent leave, not to mention how humble his expression was.
Yi Hui put his finger on Scott and said, "Hey, is this guy called Argent so good?" Isn't it just a cobbler boss and a member of the thieves' union branch? Do you really worship him that much? ”
"Of course, Master Argent can be said to be a legend in the circle of thieves, and the case he did back then...... No, the tasks completed are all famous in the continent, known as 'Ghost Shadow Argent', and the level is as high as level 7, and he has awakened the thief's fighting spirit and become a senior thief, just asking him to make a mission deposit of more than 10,000 gold coins, not to mention the reward. Later, after he took over as the director of the Grenoble branch of the thieves' union, he quit the world and began to train new people, and by the way, he opened the legendary leather clothing store. As he walked, Scott told Yi Hui about Argent's "bad deeds".
"Do you know that thumb-sized ruby in the crown of Louis, King of the Hanseatic Empire? This gem was cut off from the scepter of the king of the Golden Horde in the north by the king of the northern Golden Horde. Now the jewel is still worn on the head of King Louis to humiliate the Golden Horde. ……”
Yi Hui heard Scott talk about so many of Argent's great achievements, and said in his heart that this Argent could be regarded as a thief similar to the brocade mouse Bai Yutang and the green forest Robin Hood. According to Scott, Argent has awakened his fighting spirit, so what is his fighting spirit?
Yi Hui couldn't help but think back to the first time he saw Argent, when he noticed a long phantom trailing behind Argent like a dream.
The so-called strong has its own strong hand, Yi Hui still can't underestimate the people in this world, whether it is the great explorer Felder or the Argent in front of him are all legendary figures, even the powerful magic that Mr. Merim cast before his death made his heart palpitate, and he was not sure to eat this level of attack.
Although he has mastered so many skills and so many equipment, Yi Hui is very aware of his weakness, that is, his body is not enough to exert these skills and weapons to the strength they deserve. It's like a child with a blade in his hand, and he can't compare to an adult with his bare hands.
