"We're here." Raison didn't open the door immediately, but handed Alice a piece of clothing, and she said, "Put it on and bring the hat behind the collar to your head." ”

Alice did so, she put on her hat, then pulled it down, shrouded her face in shadow, and as Raison walked out of the car without hurrying, they blended in as best they could with the newcomers around them, and then they stopped at the door of a room.

At this moment, a blade resisted Ruisen's stamina, "Yo, young man, why are you here?" ”

Rayson didn't look back, "Kavlin, it's still the same, but ......" he swallowed, "Can you put the knife down?" ”

"Oh......" the woman withdrew the blade from her hand, "Tell me, what are you doing here today?" ”

As their gaze receded, an elegant woman appeared in front of them, who looked less than twenty years old, her appearance was as beautiful as that of a princess, and she was dressed more luxuriously than most princesses, and a pair of watery eyes flashed with indifference, which inexplicably added to her sexiness, but Ruison was not attracted to her, and he said, "How is Luna?" ”

"Still in the training room," Cavlyn said, retracting the blade of the switchblade, "what's wrong?" ”

"Hudson brought you an interesting person." Rhethan continued, "I brought her today, you can't let Luna know" and with that, he pushed Alice towards her, touching Cavlin's arm.

Cafrin glanced sideways at Alice, then beckoned to Reson, "Let's go inside, there's not much time, it won't be good for Luna to come out later." ”

"Okay." Raison agreed, and followed Caflin away, and they walked into the large, large, dreary building in front of them, and when they pushed the door open and entered, Alice was taken aback, and what she saw was beyond his imagination.

She found herself standing in a lavishly decorated and unusually spacious living room, where the light was as dull and dim as outside. Dark red and dark brown velvet wrap the walls on all sides, and in the center are Cagalli-esque oriental tapestries painted with a picture of a young girl.

The room is lit by candles, the smell of lavender fills the air, and most of the furniture here has expensive chaise longues, and trays on low oak tables next to chaise longues contain wine in glass bottles, glasses made in Atlante, and pomelo in bronze.

"Welcome to my room." "You can sit as you please." After beckoning Alice to sit down, she walked over to Alice and looked at her with a critical look, "Franklin has a pretty good opinion of you, and I can see that he is right. ”

Alice couldn't help but blush, she lowered her head, "Please call me Kaflin." Cavlyn took Alice's small hand, but she broke free after a moment, and they fell into embarrassment with each other.

In order not to embarrass them again, Ruisen opened his mouth, "That, Kaflin, the training for these few days will be handed over to you, and the mission will be carried out in a week." ”

"Okay, leave it to me." Cavlyn nodded, then said to Alice, "I know you're impatient, but please allow me to hone your innate skills and use my teachings as a weapon for your self-defense." ”

Cavlyn started training that day, she took Alice to a white room, then took out the remote control in her hand and pressed it, and then the whole room turned into a beautiful back garden, next to them there were more girls and valets, listen to Cavlin's explanation, it was an NPC in the VR simulation, responsible for character training and guidance. They then began to wander around the garden, occasionally passing by the other groups while chatting and laughing.

"Listen!" "Prudence is an important quality of self-defense, so you have to learn to walk the streets at will, to be seen and not noticed, so you have to learn to blend in with them," Cavlyn told Alice. ”

Alice didn't understand what she meant, so Cavlin did just that, she let Alice blend in with the crowd and then exercise her discretion. At first, Alice will sometimes clumsily expose herself to the crowd, or tripped over others, or even cause her team members to spread out and expose her to the public.

The garden was a pleasant sight, with birds chirping in the branches of the trees, and in Alice's mind, it was an unfriendly city street. Cavlyn constantly criticizes her, "Beware! You can't go on a rampage! "Be respectful of your teammates and be careful when you walk near them!" "How do you blend into the crowd when you are knocked around by others like this?" "Excellent! You can perform better! ”

The annoying comments didn't slowly begin to diminish until the end of the first day, and the next morning, she was already able to walk under Cavlin's nose, and she could even make the other person look for her without blinking. Finally, after five minutes of silence, Cavlin said, "All right, girl, you've done a good job, and I'm giving up." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Alice emerged from the crowd of girls, and her demeanor was the same as everyone else's, earning her the applause of Cavlyn and the others.

The first training session is over.

"Now that you've learned to blend in with the crowd." The next morning, Cafrin said to Alice, "Then let me teach you how to use this technique, pickpocketing." ”

Alice looked hesitant, and Cavlin explained, "This is a compulsory lesson for you on your future path, people will not be able to move an inch when they have no money, and most of the time, society will not allow you to use honest means, I believe you will not use it to touch the poor or your friends' things, so you should think of it as a blade that is rarely used." She patted Alice on the shoulder and said with a smile, "People are drifting in the rivers and lakes, and their skills are not pressing." ”

Alice agreed, but pickpocketing wasn't that easy to learn. She can sneak up on a girl, but when her hand touches the purse on her belt, an alarm goes off in the room, and Alice has no choice but to do it all over again.

When he had first succeeded in touching a few coins, he was standing triumphantly for a moment when a large heavy hand was pressed on his shoulder, and she looked back to see that it was a City Watch.

"I'm going to arrest ........." Before he could finish speaking, Alice slashed the blade of the stealing knife through the other party's throat, and the guard held the bleeding throat and slowly knelt down until it disappeared into dust, a move that did not please Caflin, "Alice, I know that your swordsmanship and fighting skills are good. "But you have to know that I'm training you in pickpocketing, not hand-to-hand combat!" ”

Alice was a quick learner, and she slowly realized the fun of the skill, so she soon managed to get her hands on the purses of ten girls, and her actions were so dexterous that she announced the end of the training when Cavlyn discovered that Alice had pickpocketed the last five of her own.

"Alright, the next step is hand-to-hand combat." She said, "Huh? What about your weapons? ”

Alice shook her head, "Well, you've learned how to get close to your enemies...... "Then you'll need a suitable weapon." With that, she took out a steel bar, and Alice looked at it, and then at Caflin in front of her.

Cafrin sensed her doubts, only to see that she pushed the steel bar in her hand outward, and with a "bang", the two ports of the steel bar were two arc-shaped bamboo strips, and the ends of the two arc-shaped bamboo strips were connected to a thick rope, which was a bow, a veritable folding and bending bow.

"You'll need a weapon that's much lighter than a sword." Cafrin said as she handed the bow to Alice.

In this way, over the next few days, Cavlyn trained Alice in archery, swordsmanship, fighting, and throwing knives.

The week passed quickly, and Alice also gained a lot, except for honing her martial arts skills, of course.

Alice was very happy until early in the morning of the third week, when a stranger knocked on the door of Cavlin's house.

"Knock, knock, knock......" After a quick knock on the door, Cavlin rushed to open the door, and a woman about Cavlin's age stood outside the door, and the two of them looked at each other for a moment, and then the other showed a charming and warm smile, and then they hugged affectionately.

Then Cavlyn laughed, "Leticia, long time no see. With that, they walked into the house, on the right side of the main staircase VR simulation room, where they stopped and walked in.

It was a cramped room, more cluttered than the VR simulation room, and a real outfit for the well-dressed Cavlin, who led Leticia to the piles of books and specimens and parchment with puzzling words, and she carefully pushed some things onto others, and finally emptied the entire cartography table. "I beg your pardon for the mess here." "But we finally have an oasis, why don't I make a cup of warm tea and we'll talk about it?" she said. ”

"No, no."

"Good." Cavlyn said eagerly, "Then let me see!" ”

Laeticia carefully took out a bag and handed it to Cavlin, containing a blade, a wooden handle, and a mechanism, as well as a piece of vellum with mysterious symbols that were used to wrap them.

Cafrin opened the door, and she was stunned by what was on the drawings.
