"Game?" said the woman in red, raising her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

She watched Alicia's expression closely, and after a moment, a playful smile curled up at the corners of her mouth.

"I see, is that what Qinglong told you?"

Seeing the woman's strange reaction, Alicia couldn't help frowning and asked:

"Could it be...... Qinglong lied to me? It's not a game at all, is it?"

Dalong also sensed a hint of cattiness from the woman's attitude, staring closely into the other party's eyes.

"It's a game, but that seems like a lot of overkill. It's a fraudster, but isn't it playing with us?" the woman said something that both Alicia and Daron couldn't understand for a moment. Seeing their sad looks, the woman smiled and said:

"Okay, don't be so nervous, put your weapons down, and I'll explain it to you. ”

Daron's great sword was still firmly in the air, and he didn't want this woman to take advantage of it.

"Darlon, put your sword down, she can't run. Alicia heard from the woman's words that there was another mystery in the matter, and in order to find out, it was necessary to hear how the woman explained it. However, they didn't have that much time to sit down and talk heartily, so it was imperative that the woman speak quickly.

Daron reluctantly lowered his greatsword, but those eyes were still firmly on her opponent to prevent her from plotting against Alicia.

The woman rubbed the soft skin on her neck, moved her upturned buttocks to the seat, and lifted her legs, boldly exposing her seductive inner thighs. After her gaze rested on Alicia and Darron, she said:

"Looks like you don't know what you're doing, do you?"

"I want to hear about it. Alicia sat down across from the woman and said in a reciprocal gesture. Talon stood behind the woman, guarding her carefully.

"Okay, before we get into that, let's introduce ourselves. The woman propped her elbows on the table, lifted her chin with one wrist, stared at Alicia and said, "My name is Suzaku, and I'm the branch leader of the Thieves' Guild. ”

Alicia was stunned for a full ten seconds, and then asked incredulously:

"Really?"

Suzaku covered her mouth and smiled, as if amused by Alicia's reaction.

"Looks like you really don't know anything. ”

"Branch President...... How big is it?" Alicia asked a slightly dumbfounded question.

"Well~ The biggest person in the Thieves Guild is called the president, and under him, four branch presidents have been set up to be in charge of daily affairs. Below, there are helmsmen of all parties, who are responsible for the full-time management of each stronghold. Suzaku patiently explained.

That is to say...... The branch leader is second only to the leader of the thieves' guild?!" Alicia asked in shock.

"That's right. Suzaku curled his red lips and said, "By the way, I am the president of the Southern Branch, and the Qinglong you have already seen is the President of the Eastern Branch. ”

Alicia's mind was a little confused, she had just arrived in this city, and this was the first time in her life that she had dealt with the Thieves Guild, and she actually met the two branch leaders directly. Daron told her about the Thieves' Guild, and the less she knew, the better. Because this is an organization that pays great attention to its own secrecy, the people in the guild must want to hide their identities so that they can conduct various affairs in the dark world. Now, she felt like she had gone too deep, to the point where she was scared.

"Then ......," Alicia finally pulled back her gradually declining spirit and continued to ask, "What does the green dragon want us to do?"

Suzaku's beautiful eyes rolled, and after thinking about it, he said:

"Qinglong's thoughts, few people can understand. However, even though he tells you that this is a game, he has a reputation as a 'cheater' in our guild, so I advise you not to take his word for it. ”

"So what exactly are we doing now?"

"It's a trial!"

"Trials?"

Just changed the word, and Alicia suddenly couldn't understand it. A trial is a test for a purpose, isn't it? But Alicia didn't participate voluntarily, and she didn't know what the purpose of the trial was.

After giving Alicia's mind a certain buffer time, Suzaku continued:

"Hassan, the former president of the Thieves' Guild, passed away not long ago, and the seat is still vacant. There are two ways to become a guild leader, one is through the selection in the guild, and the second, and the most difficult, is what you are doing now. ”

After a pause in her mind for about 5 seconds, Alicia asked in a daze:

"You...... What the hell are you talking about?"

Suzaku laughed, changed his posture, and said:

"As I said, what you're participating in right now is the trial of becoming the leader of the Thieves' Guild. ”

Alicia's mind suddenly thundered like five thunderbolts, and Darlon's hand holding the great sword couldn't help but tremble.

What is the situation?!! Alicia couldn't understand. She just made a bet with Qinglong that if she won, she would save her companions, but she didn't expect that she would be forced to participate in this inexplicable trial. What does this mean? If you pass this trial, you will not only be able to save your companions, but you will also be able to harvest a thief's guild?!

What was the purpose of the green dragon to put Alicia in her current situation? Thinking back to the masked smile on the man's face, Alicia couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Suzaku seemed to have anticipated the reaction of the two of them, and did not deliberately comfort them, and continued:

"Now that the trial has begun, it will not stop. According to the rules handed down by the Thieves' Guild, those who fail the trial have only one way to die. ”

Alicia frowned. According to Suzaku, there is only one path in front of them now, and that is to complete this trial. This is no different from before.

“...... Well, I got it. After about a dozen breaths, Alicia finally made up her mind and said, "So I've now completed the trial on your side, and what should I do next?"

Suzaku looked at Alicia, who was neither humble nor arrogant in accepting the current situation, and was slightly surprised in her heart, but she still said quietly on the surface:

"There are four trials, and each branch president will give one of them. The trial on my side is relatively simple, but in the hands of other branch leaders, you may not be able to pass it as unscathed as you are now. ”

"What is the content of the trial on your side?" Although Suzaku said that they had passed the test given by the other party, Alicia still felt quite vague about the content of this trial.

"Quite simply, as long as you find out who I really am, and don't drink the bowl of poisoned wine on the table. Suzaku said brightly.

Alicia couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, but it was good that she didn't drink the glass of apricot blossom wine, otherwise she would have died ugly.

Dalong's heart was slightly shaken, in this matter, in fact, Qinglong did them a favor. If it weren't for the previous experience of being ambushed by the green dragon, Taron would not have been so vigilant this time, and found her suspicious through the flash of the dagger wrapped around Suzaku's waist.

"Okay, now that you have passed, there is nothing to say, the direction of your next trial is in the north, and the Xuanwu branch leader is waiting for you there. After saying that, Suzaku stood up and stretched out, looking like he had completed the task.

"That's it?" Alicia asked, surprised. I thought that Suzaku would give some decent hints, but I didn't expect it to be the same as Qinglong, only prompting a general direction.

"yes, it's not early, so hurry up. After saying that, Suzaku walked to the door of the tavern with his back to Alicia, and made a goodbye gesture as he opened the door and walked out.

Alicia was stunned for a moment, it seemed that this kind of trial would have to be carried out three more times. They only had one night left and had to go now. Although she still doesn't know what the next trial will be, after this beginning, Alicia has grown in confidence.

"Let's go, Daron!" said Alicia, who slapped the table and stood up, leaving the tavern with Daron and heading for the North End in the night.
