Dudian came to the tailor's shop, received the robe and mask, changed the robe into a good size, he put on the mask, came to the front of the Wall street alley, and immediately smelled the smell of two people inside, one less than yesterday.
"Sure enough, it's here every day." Dudian said secretly, put on a mask when he entered the alley, stretched out his hand to pick up the cloth that was painted like a wall, and saw that there were piles of bricks inside, if ordinary people accidentally noticed this cloth, even if they opened it, they would only see this wall, but Dudian knew that it was a secret room, so he could see the gaps between these bricks at a glance.
Dudian picked up a stone and tapped it lightly.
There was no reaction inside.
Dudian tapped it twice again.
At this moment, Dudian smelled the scent of two people inside and approached, just behind the brick. He waited for a moment, but didn't see them make a sound, and immediately struck it twice, controlling his throat and lowering his voice: "I am your companion, there is no malice, I am also an alchemist, seeking to organize ......"
The two behind the bricks seemed to be considering, and after a while, there was still no response.
Du Dian suddenly smelled a strange smell, his brows furrowed slightly, and he slowly pulled out a piece of brick.
Sou!
The brick had just been pulled out, and something shot out of the gap.
Du Dian had been prepared and dodged in time, but after this thing fell to the ground, it sputtered out, and a few drops fell on the edge of his robe, and the blackened robe was corroded to a little whitish in color, which was actually sulfuric acid.
Du Dian glanced at it, turned back to the bricks and continued: "I really have no ill intentions, if it was a person from the Sect of Light, I would have already informed the Knight of Light to arrest you, and I am your companion." ”
The two inside didn't seem to expect that their sneak attack didn't work, and when they heard Du Dian's words, the two also knew that the initiative was in Du Dian's hands at the moment, and if it was reported to the Holy See of Light, they would soon be surrounded and suppressed here.
"How can I trust you?" A female voice came from inside.
Dudian asked rhetorically, "How can you trust me?" ”
There was a little silence inside, and the female voice said, "Please show me the alchemy tattoo." ”
Du Dian smiled bitterly: "Then you have to let me in first, it's too unsafe here, and it's easy to attract attention if you stay for a long time." ”
Hearing this, the two people inside seemed to feel reasonable, and slowly pulled out the bricks, the light inside was dim, but Du Dian's vision was not affected in the slightest, and he saw the appearance of these two people at a glance, both wearing masks, judging from their figures, they were children as big as themselves, a man and a woman, and the boy he had tracked before was not there. At this moment, the girl was in charge of pulling away the bricks, and the boy was hiding in a darker place on the side, clutching a glass bottle with half a bottle of sulfuric acid still in it.
"Come in." The girl said.
Dudian nodded and jumped in, and under the brick was a staircase, and the place where the bricks sealed was like a ventilated window.
The boy showed a pair of vigilant eyes in his mask, stared at Du Dian, and said, "Now you can show your alchemy tattoo." ”
Du Dian nodded slightly, lifted his black robe, revealing the black cross tattoo on his chest, and said, "Can you see clearly?" ”
The girl looked closer and said, "It's indeed our people, come with me." ”
Hearing this, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, beckoned Dudian, and followed the girl.
Dudian followed them down the stairs to a secret room below, only to see that this secret room was extremely spacious, there were many shelves inside, on which were placed all kinds of mineral powder, or metal powder, and there were no animal remains, eyeballs and other biological parts, as he expected, they were all from the Philosopher's Stone faction, with the goal of refining this magical stone.
"Please come here." The girl came to a table and said.
Dudian did as he was told.
"I'm going to see your tattoo again." The girl said, apparently she hadn't fully seen in the dim light of the corridor earlier.
Dudian nodded, revealing the black cross on his chest.
The girl and the boy approached, looked carefully, and confirmed that it was a black alchemy tattoo, she suddenly approached Dudian's chest, sniffed it gently, and the warm breath exhaled from her nose made Dudian's chest throb slightly.
"Perfume smell?" The girl was a little puzzled, sniffed the robe on Du Di'an's arm again, and couldn't help but look up at Du Di'an, and said, "You are a boy, how can you apply perfume?" ”
Du Dian coughed dryly and said, "Get used to it." ”
The girl gave him a strange look, but didn't say anything, and said, "How did you find us, we should be hiding here very secretly, and the code is only known to our internal people, even if you are an alchemist, you will not recognize it." ”
"I saw a man in the bazaar with a tattoo on his wrist and followed him to find him," Dudian said truthfully. ”
The girl and the boy glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "This stupid 'mouse' has already told him that a tattoo on such a conspicuous part of the wrist is simply looking for death, and I don't know how his teacher taught him in the first place!" ”
At this moment, the boy who was walking with his parents on a certain street suddenly sneezed twice in a row, looking dazed.
Du Dian said with sincerity on his face: "Can I join you?" Do research together. ”
The girl looked at him and said, "Don't you have your own circle, didn't your teacher teach you, our circle rarely accepts other strange companions." ”
"My teacher is dead." Du Dian's expression was sad, and he said, "Several of my companions who were doing research together before have also dispersed. ”
The girl was stunned for a moment and whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
Du Dian shook his head slightly and said, "It's all over." ”
The girl thought for a moment and said, "Okay, if you're alone, you can join, but you're never allowed to bring outsiders in, you know, the more people you have, the easier it is to be exposed." ”
Du Di'an's face was full of surprise, and he said: "I will keep it absolutely secret. ”
"Hmm." The girl nodded, with a smile on her face, and said, "My name is 'Nightingale', his name is 'Viper', the mouse went shopping with his parents today, and he didn't come, if you want to join us, you have to have a code name." ”
Du Dian couldn't help but wonder, and said, "Isn't the code name granted when you join the Dark Sect?" ”
"yes, that's the official code name, and it's also the status symbol of our alchemists." Nightingale nodded: "But we also have to have a code name to call each other, it's impossible to use real names, what if someone is arrested and the others are exposed?" Could it be that your previous circles used to use your real name? ”
Du Dian said: "No, it's all replaced by one of the words in everyone's name." ”
"That's a code name." Nightingale said, "We're using an animal instead, think about it." ”
Dudian thought for a moment, then said, "Let's call it a hound." ”
"Hounds?" Nightingale nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call you Hound in the future." ”
Du Dian nodded, looked around, and said, "Don't you have a teacher to teach?" ”
Nightingale shook her head and said, "My teacher won't come to a place like ours to train an alchemist, he's busy with his own experiments. ”
The boy named Viper smiled at Dudian, "Nightingale is our teacher, she is the one who is about to hit the Meteorite Emblem, and then she will be the youngest one-star alchemist, right?" ”
Du Dian looked at this girl in surprise, and felt that this girl had more power to speak from the time she came in, and sure enough, she was the leader of this small circle, so she said: "That's really amazing, I have only been in contact with it for a short time, and I have to learn more from you." ”
The voice under the nightingale's mask was a little shy, and said, "How can he be so exaggerated, there are too many smart people, and I am not the youngest." ”
"I think you're pretty good anyway." The poisonous snake hippie smiles authentically.
Du Dian looked at him, thinking to himself that this person's personality has nothing to do with 'poisonous snake', this code name is really a bit of a split personality.
"Alright, it's time to experiment, do you want to get the Meteorite Badge yet?" Nightingale waved.
The viper laughed, went to another room next to it, and closed the door.
Nightingale said to Dudian: "We have a limited number of rooms here, there is a grocery room left next to it, you can use that one after you clean it up, if you don't understand anything, you can communicate with me at any time." ”
