Section 12 Hazy
Chulgiro is known as the land of the desert. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt is a tiny state founded entirely in the desert of the southern continent of Inphilia. The predecessor of the people was the power known as the barbarians during the heroic war years. At the end of the distant heroic age, the barbarians led by the overlord Ian Arcus were finally defeated, and the entire tribe was driven south. As they traveled through the desert, they happened to find a buried ruin. The ruins didn't seem huge on the surface, but they sped deep underground. In fact, there is a very large space under the desert, where there are huge caves carved out by the predecessors of the ancient magic kingdom. There are many areas of quicksand above the desert, and these quicksands eventually converge into this vast underground space.
When the barbarian people first discovered this place, everyone was shocked in their hearts. However, even with such a large underground space, it would be too crowded if the barbarians moved in. The nearest oasis is almost ten kilometers away from here, and it is very difficult to get water. Even if someone could be sent to fetch water, the amount of water stored in the oasis would not be enough for so many people of the barbarians.
At this time, some people proposed that the problem of water shortage in the desert could be solved by trading with people from other countries on the mainland to exchange water. From this point on, the barbarians were divided. Most of the barbarians believe that as the defeated party, they are suspected of wagging their tails and begging for mercy by exchanging trade with enemy countries. The barbarian people are arrogant in their hearts and do not want to bow down to others for this little thing. Rather than using this method to achieve a form of coexistence with the enemy country, it is better to migrate to the southernmost Qianshan Ridge and live in seclusion.
A small number of people are more open-minded, believing that trade is the way of development, and in the process of contact with other countries, they can learn from their cultures and learn from their technology, so as to make the barbarians themselves stronger. The recalcitrant people scoffed at this idea, and since they could not be conquered by force, they did not want to live with it.
Subsequently, most of the people migrated to the Thousand Mountains Range. Only a small number of people remained, repairing and transforming the original underground ruins, and carving out a world that belonged to them. Their men went out hunting, and the women wovent the furs of their prey into garments and sold them to other countries for money and water. Soon, with the help of the technology and ingenuity of the Galbadians, they built a ten-kilometre-long underground water pipeline to transport fresh water from the oasis lake to the ruins.
In this way, a new small state was born, and its name was Churgiro.
In the country of Curgiro, there is a unique martial art, fierce and cunning, and extremely good at concealment. This martial art is known as assassination.
Over time, Curgiro's fur fabrics were of the highest quality, but they gradually became less and less appreciated. The most famous in the country are the Assassins.
Everyone said that the assassins of Curgillo were the Lord of the Night. As the birthplace of the Assassin class, the Chulgiro people continued to have famous assassins. In the desert, they faced the weather of wind and sun, and the temperature difference between day and night, and practiced the art of hiding day after day. They walked on the desert like a flat ground, treading sand without a trace, and when they reached the real flat land, they were as fast as lightning and silent. They are ruthless, and their shots are as fast as a moment, but they are ruthless and merciless.
The White Tiger was an Assassin born in Curgiro. Born into a family of Assassins, by the age of seven, he had already shown a talent for Assassins far superior to that of his peers. At the age of twelve, the head of the family sent him on a mission, and he was supposed to be given ten days, but he returned in less than three days with a box containing the head of the assassin.
At the age of fourteen, he joined the Thieves' Guild, and in just one year, he climbed to the position of head of the Western branch with his exceptional fighting skills.
Today, the white tiger is fifteen years old......
Daron saw the white tiger walk into the moonlight and disappear like a gust of wind. Whether it was the body, voice, or breath, nothing could be felt, as if the white tiger had suddenly disappeared from this space.
Daron couldn't help but clench the greatsword in his hand, alerting all the movements around him. But this warehouse is as quiet as ruins. Alicia didn't dare to speak, she looked around for the young man in black, but found nothing.
She was still standing at the doorway, which was the only exit from this warehouse. Although the roof has windows, it is up to 50 meters above the ground, and there are no climbing facilities around the roof, so it is impossible for humans to bounce to reach such a high place.
The white tiger was right in front of their eyes, disappearing without a trace, leaving only this ghostly silence that made Alicia's heart beat wildly.
Daron held his breath and turned into a stone statue. Since you can't catch the breath of the other person, then wait quietly. The other party must be hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity to find his flaws, so the moment the killing move is completed, it is also the opportunity for Dalong to counterattack.
This is the same tactic that Daron used in the face of the "flash" of the whisper. Daron has a calm mentality, and his long combat experience allows him to remain calm in the face of any kind of enemy.
The shadow suddenly galloped out of the corner of the warehouse, silent, but with a cold and murderous aura.
The speed of the white tiger was like a lightning speed, flashing by, and in this thick darkness like ink, Dalong had no way to react in time. Even though he used his great sword to resist at the last moment, causing the White Tiger's attack to deviate from the point, there was still a knife mark on his neck. Drops of red blood oozed from the wound, but fortunately, Talon dodged in time and did not hurt the artery, otherwise he would have been killed by this blow.
With a gasp, Talon breathed his breath and slowly moved a step to the moonlight.
Alicia looked a little confused, and felt that Daron seemed to be unconscious. There are so many dark places in the warehouse, but Talon has moved to the brightest place, isn't this a living target for the White Tiger?
But Daron is actually quiet in his heart and has a thorough mind.
"Hazy", that is, the trick that the white tiger is now casting, can not only hide the figure, but even the breath can be completely covered, then it must be a concealment technique that holds his breath.
Since the white tiger is so proficient in stealth, it must also be good at finding prey in the dark. Talon wasn't good at stealth, so whether he stood in the light or in the dark, it didn't make a difference to the White Tiger.
After figuring it out like this, standing in the moonlight doesn't actually expose yourself. On the contrary, it can also attract the opponent's attacks here. Daron stood in the shadow of the eight-foot moon, cut into squares, his mind focused on sight and hearing. Although the white tiger was in the dark, the moment he launched his attack, he would inevitably approach Talon. If it was the only glowing moonlight in the warehouse, he would have been exposed as he passed by. Although this period of time may be as short as a few tenths of a second, it is also an opportunity for Daron to turn defeat into victory.
Daron was bathed in several streaks of moonlight from the roof, and the dust suspended in the air was clearly visible.
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind him!
The White Tiger is very smart, although Dalong is standing in the moonlight, he wants to use this slight light to catch the other party at the moment of the White Tiger's attack. However, he has the only blind spot, and that is his back.
The dagger made of black iron slid silently towards the back of Daron's neck with an astonishing killing intent.
"Boom!"
The white tiger was shocked to realize that the touch coming from his hand was not the feeling of a dagger entering the flesh. He looked upwards in astonishment, and saw that Talon's great sword was standing behind his back, and he himself did not even look back.
An arrogant smile rose on Daron's lips, and after blocking the White Tiger's killing move, he directly twisted the sword blade and vigorously swept back backwards.
The white tiger was taken aback and wanted to retreat, but it was too late. The sword surface of the great sword has an extraordinary attack range, and with the fact that Daron took a big step when he turned around, the slashing section of the blade had completely sealed all the retreats of the white tiger.
A drop of cold sweat slid down his cheeks, and the white tiger watched as the great sword hovered in front of his throat at the last moment, opposite to Talon's smiling face.
"I won. ”
Bai Hu showed a look of chagrin, after all, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, and his obsession with victory and defeat was still very deep. Growing up, he probably never lost, so he has quite a bit of confidence in himself when it comes to fighting. However, now that he has actually lost in the situation where he has used all his tricks, this sense of defeat makes it difficult for him to calm down for a while.
"I've hid so well, why were you able to block my attack?" asked the white tiger puzzled.
"You're hiding it so well that I don't even feel your presence. Dalongping raised his sword and said calmly, "However, the only flaw is when you attack. ”
"When I attacked? No way, I didn't make a sound at all. ”
"Well, of course, there is no sound, but I can feel the breath. ”
"I used 'haze', it's a breath-holding trick, you can't feel my breath. The white tiger said unconvinced.
"When I say breath, I don't mean breath, but ...... Killing Intent!" Daron said with a smile.
"Killing intent?" asked the white tiger, his eyes wide.
"You're really good at hiding, but when you're about to attack me, you're sure to burst out with a lot of murderous energy, and that's how I feel you. But if it were the wild man in our regiment, he would have done better than me. ”
"Impossible, even if you felt my killing intent at that moment, you wouldn't have time to react. The white tiger still looked unconvinced, and continued.
"Of course it's in time, because I know where you're going to attack from. Daron said confidently.
"How do you know?"
"I'm standing in a bright place, the only dead end is my back, since you're an assassin who specializes in hiding in the dark, you won't choose a second direction to attack. ”
White Tiger clenched his fists, he finally knew where he lost. He gritted his teeth in remorse, for he had never thought of what Daron had said. In battle, if you can stay one step ahead of others and think of things that others don't think of, you can win by surprise.
Suddenly, a pair of hands pressed on the white tiger's messy black hair. The white tiger looked up in panic and saw the blonde girl's sunny smile.
"You've done a great job. ”
The white tiger was stunned for about a few seconds before he reacted and slapped Alicia's hand away. Alicia was also startled, if the white tiger was honest enough, she still wanted to rub his little head.
The white tiger went to the side and picked up the turban on the ground, wrapped it around his head again, regained his previous cool and indifferent expression, and said:
"If you lose, you lose, and even if you pass my trial. ”
Alicia shouted hooray, and now there was only one trial left. It was still some time before dawn broke, and at this rate, he would have had time to save his companions.
"Don't rejoice too soon. White Tiger said, "The final trial is the hardest. Go to the Eastern District and go find the 'Fraudster' Qinglong. ”
This game has to end where it starts. What kind of purpose did the head of the Eastern Branch, Qinglong, the man who always smile, have to involve Alicia and them in this turmoil? Perhaps, only by seeing him himself, can he know.
"White Tiger, I have a question for you. Alicia said before leaving.
"Say it. The white tiger replied casually.
"After completing these trials, do you really recognize me as the leader of your Thieves' Guild?" Regarding this, Alicia has always been quite puzzled in her heart.
"The content of each trial is set by the branch president, I don't care about the others, anyway, if you complete my trial, I will obey you. The white tiger said lazily, "However, you have to be careful of the green dragon, there were many people like you who came to participate in the president's trial before, but they were all planted in the green dragon level. This man's city is too deep, and no one can fathom his thoughts. ”
Alicia was a little surprised, because the other branch leaders only prompted her to leave with a hint of where the next trial would be. However, the white tiger seemed indifferent, but secretly took care of her, which made Alicia's heart warm. Although Bai Hu tried to say it lightly, and his attitude deliberately seemed to be irrelevant, he was a fifteen-year-old boy after all, and he didn't have as many scheming as others.
"Thank you!" Alicia shouted happily, and walked out of the warehouse with Darlon. Only the white tiger was left standing alone in the moonlight, looking at the blonde girl's brisk back, looking in a trance.
