When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a hideous face.

The green-faced fangs are like demons.

Subconsciously backhanded, he held the short sword in his sleeve and the dark blood, but he didn't cut it out after all.

"Mia?" His gaze flickered on the two-handed greatsword behind the visitor, who was almost half a head taller than her, and the Glory's eyes were full of confusion, "Why did you suddenly become this ghost?"

"It doesn't matter. The sword-bearer of the Order replied in a flat tone.

"It doesn't matter...... Well, it doesn't matter—" the young man, who was not yet fully conscious, subconsciously repeated, and then exhaled softly, "what the hell is going on, in my absence. ”

"Bump into someone," the girl spat out a name, "Willie." ”

"Willie?" Amy didn't react for a moment, and after a while, she sighed, "Isn't that guy who calls himself an intelligence merchant and always dresses up as an old-school gentleman?" ”

"Bandages. "The sword-wielder is as concise as ever," the bandage man. ”

"That probably wasn't the one I knew. The young Glory Man narrowed his eyes, sat up from his bed, and asked as he got dressed, "Did something happen between you?"

"He told me to punch him with all my might," the Eryin-level sword-wielder said bluntly, "and I did." ”

"Full ...... Is that guy still alive?" Even if you don't take into account the factor of ability bonus, Mia's strength is not less than him at all, and ordinary people will be beaten to the point of internal bleeding even if they are prepared, "Wait! You come to me now, should you...... Someone's killed, right?"

"Nope. The girl shook her head, "He's not dead." ”

"That's good. Amy exhaled in reassurance.

"But that's not the point. The Order's sword-wielder paused, "The point is, he said he was your friend. ”

"My friend, also known as Willie, is the self-proclaimed gentleman intelligence merchant. The Glory One squinted his eyes and thought about it, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but chuckle, "That guy who values etiquette and image more than anything else won't dress himself up as a bandage man no matter how you look at it." ”

"He told me to tell you," the maiden continued, "that the dice house is not to be trusted. ”

Dice House ...... Not trustworthy?

The corners of the young man's mouth couldn't help but slightly outline an arc - how could such a matter of course need to be deliberately reminded? He had never had the slightest luck with this notorious organization in the lower districts, but due to his own weak foundation, he had to choose this path of seeking skin with the tiger.

"Also," I don't know if it was an illusion, the sword-wielding's eyes suddenly sharpened, "The dice house has been in contact with the Dark Guild, it's a trap. ”

"Trap ......"

Tapping his knuckles lightly, the Glory One muttered, and although he had always been willing to speculate on the actions of the dice house with the greatest malice, he had not prepared a corresponding countermeasure against Dick's possible backlash, which could not be simply attributed to careless mistakes, after all...... This operation against the Dark Guild can be said to be completely driven by the Dice House - if it weren't for the information on the forbidden experiment obtained from the Dice House, he would not have been able to pull the Order into the water, let alone put life and death behind and deliberately carry out an operation against the Dark Guild for the sake of one or two murderers.

However...... Now it seems that the motives of the dice house are not so simple.

The young man naturally didn't simply listen to the words relayed by the sword-wielding, after all, the intelligence merchant who called himself Willie was not a trustworthy guy, not to mention anything else, his motives for approaching him were quite not pure, maybe he didn't harbor malicious intentions, but maybe this thing was ...... And for this reason, the only thing he was sure of was that the guy who had always dressed as a gentleman had something to ask for.

However, it is also a good thing in some ways to ask for something.

At least the credibility of this information will be raised to a higher level - of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is a bureau specially set up by Willy and the organization behind Willy in order to alienate him from the dice house, so that he can be dissatisfied with the largest and most mysterious intelligence organization in the lower area because of a fabricated information, and even further make him have a bad relationship with Dick by creating a coincidence, and he has to return to the dilemma of relying on the intelligence merchant Willy.

He would never allow such a situation to occur.

Just on the other side...... Dice House is also not a trustworthy partner.

Between two fires?

- Strange!

It's not that it's hard to choose, he himself has the highest level of vigilance against the dice house, but he doesn't consider the possibility that they will attack the dark guild - and Willy's information is putting this possibility on the table, in front of him, so that he can't ignore it no matter what.

It was a wake-up call for him.

After a long silence, he raised his head and looked at the girl standing in front of him without saying a word: "It's hard to tell if the source of the news is true or false—but I still choose to trust Dick." ”

"Because," he paused, "there is no other choice." ”

"Trap on the periphery," the sword-wielder from the Order was not convinced, and she frowned at the young man in the dice house, and pointed out the problems that this trust could lead to, "if he takes advantage of it...... It's going to be hard. ”

"Are you going to part ways with him now?"

The young Glory Man had no intention of accommodating the maiden - it was true that Dick was a drag on the side of the Dark Guild, except for being able to come in handy in front of the traps on the outskirts of the Dark Guild, and it was not incomprehensible to leave him behind here in order to eliminate possible risks, but if it did, it would ...... Perhaps he fell for the tricks of Willy, a self-proclaimed intelligence merchant, and laid the groundwork for a future break with the dice house.

"This is a problem for me. He scratched his head, but there was not much distress on his expression, "That guy hasn't left the field yet, leaving the guidance of the ground snake, relying on the two of us to search for the target, in the intricate underground mines, it is almost impossible to find the right direction." ”

The sword-wielder of the Order bowed slightly, in understanding.

"But—" There was not the slightest personal emotion in her eyes, "he's dangerous. ”

"yes, it's dangerous. Amy didn't blindly object, but just played a sword flower with her backhand, "Since you are a sword bearer, you must be no stranger to swords - swords are also very dangerous for fragile humans, but both the glorious and the ring bearers have a soft spot for it, and even carry it close to their bodies." ”

"So," he said meaningfully, "danger is never a reason to refuse to use it, it depends on whether the user has the possibility to control it—and I am as confident that I can control it as if it were a double-edged sword." ”

That's right, with a premonition of death, he was invincible from the beginning.

It's just that the girl is obviously not the object of persuasion so easily, and there is still considerable hesitation in her gaze.

"Please have a minimum of trust in your companions," said the Glorious One, righteously, "even if we are temporary companions, we are comrades who can trust each other during the mission. ”

"Understood. The words that could not be vetoed prompted the sword-wielder to make up his mind.

"But still...... Thank you so much. Amy changed her mind and bowed deeply to the blonde girl in front of her, "Anyway, it was indeed my mistake not to consider that the Dice House and the Dark Guild joined forces. ”

The girl carrying the silver-white cross-sword that almost climbed with her lowered her eyelids slightly, and then turned around.

"Rest well, Mia. The boy stared at her back and said in a calm but confident tone, "Don't think too much, everything is up to me." ”

"Well," the girl's departing footsteps paused slightly, "Ann." ”

Then the door closed again.

"Now that a promise has been made, there is no reason to break it. The young Glory Man sighed, stepped out of bed, and shook his spirits a little, "It seems that I am also going to show some real skills, do you say ......?"

—Dick"

His gaze suddenly turned cold, and he gently spat out the name of the Apostle of the Dice House.

"Allah, Allah, was discovered by you. The door that had just been closed for a short time was opened again, and the beautiful young man with blond hair and blue eyes walked in with a wandering pace, "But don't worry, I haven't been in contact with that side, at least as far as the Destruction of the Dark Guild is concerned, we are grasshoppers on a rope." ”

"I hope so. The verbal assurances were not convincing, but Amy didn't plan to have a showdown with the other party at this time, so she just raised her eyebrows, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be confident that I would be able to clear the Dark Guild." ”

"Clearance? Dick blinked, a sly glint in his eyes, "But Ulysses, please have the least trust in your companions, even if they are temporary companions, we are comrades who can trust each other during the mission." ”

"......" is unexpectedly irrefutable.

After all, it was the words that came out of his own mouth - sure enough, he has not escaped the monitoring of the dice house, whether it is what happened to Willy and Mia, or Mia's conversation with him, this guy has always watched it.

The Glory's fists clenched, as if he felt an omnipresent net fall on him, and on all sides there were malicious insect compound eyes, and the world was so big that there was no place to hide.

For the first time, he regretted his previous contact with the dice house.

But it was only an insignificant moment, and the little wavering was quickly calmed down by a tough attitude, Amy slowed down her breathing a little quickly, and her eyes looked at the apostle in front of her who could act on behalf of the will of the dice house: "That's nature, people should trust each other and rely on each other, what do you say?"

"Of course," Dick patted his chest, "we're companions!"

"Hmm," the Honorable Man nodded, "companion." ”

The dark and turquoise eyes intertwined, and in the slightly long silence, the corners of the two mouths invariably outlined a subtle arc.
