I don't know when the door to the hall was closed, and the boss, who looked quite kind, was guarding the door with a gloomy face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A cold glint flashed in Qinglong's eyes, and he suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and slammed it into the middle of the table, shaking all the faces that were attached to the table.

"Now, it's time to talk about trading. Qinglong played with the handle of the dagger, looked down at everyone with contempt and said.

"It's really like two people just now, eldest son! It seems that all your polite actions are pretended. Daron glared at the face of the green dragon above with slanted eyes, and said with anger in his back.

"There is a saying in the Eastern Continent called salute before soldiers, you may not have heard of it, right?" Qinglong narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

Alicia was on fire, and the overturned tea made her hair sticky and uncomfortable, she gritted her teeth and rebuked:

"What the hell do you want to do?!"

Qinglong first gave the two men next to him a look, only to see that after they nodded, they gradually approached Alicia.

Alicia began to feel uneasy, and now she was subdued by two tall men, and she had no strength to resist. In the face of approaching opponents, she is like a lamb to the slaughter.

"Uhh!!!h

Daron gritted his teeth and used all his strength. He clasped the edge of the table firmly with his palm, his face hideous, and his muscles exposed. Under the control of three opponents, he barely supported his upper body. As soon as his face left the table, he poured all his strength into the joints of his hands, trying to tear the table away in one fell swoop and free his companions. However, a sudden burst of dizziness caught him off guard. His feet went limp, and he collapsed on the table again.

"What a brute bull!" Seeing Qinglong's appearance, he seemed to be startled, and he hurriedly signaled to add three more men to control Dalong. As a result, Darlon's hands, feet, and entire head were firmly chained to the table.

Seeing Daron subdued, the two men walked up to Alicia and put their hands into her clothes. This action caused the girl to resist frantically, and Daron watched the scene with a sideways face, his upper and lower teeth locked, and his gums were bitten out of blood.

After fumbling for a while, the two men withdrew their hands, and a few heavy bags appeared in their palms. Seeing those things, Daron finally breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that they were only ordered to take out the gold coins that Alicia had hidden in her clothes.

Zazacha wanted to take advantage of Dalong's fuss and wait for an opportunity to resist, but like Dalong, he was hit by a sense of dizziness and weakened.

"It's really despicable, you used poison on us?" said Zha Cha through gritted teeth as he glared at Qinglong after learning about his physical condition.

"Poison?" Alicia raised her eyebrows, and felt her physical state for a while, and found that it was indeed abnormal, "How is it possible?!, whether it is wine or tea, we haven't touched anything!"

"Huh. Qinglong smiled slightly and said, "What about this?"

As he spoke, he took a puff from one of his men, took a puff, and exhaled a puff of white smoke at Alicia.

The white smoke was blowing in her face, and Alicia's spirit suddenly became a little trance. It turned out that they had been ingesting these chronic poisons since they entered this morning tea shop.

"Then how can you be okay?" Alicia looked at Qinglong, feeling that he was also inhaling the same air as herself, but he was not affected in the slightest, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Qinglong smiled slightly again, and said calmly:

"Trade Secrets. ”

Kyeloa now felt very remorseful, as the eldest member of the group, he should have discovered the green dragon's tricks and alerted everyone earlier, but he didn't realize that the entire teahouse was a trap set in advance, and he was indeed negligent about this.

As for why the people of the Thieves Guild are not affected by the smoke, it is actually very easy to associate, there are only so many possibilities. Either they have mastered specific breathing methods that can deliberately avoid smoke entering their noses and mouths, or they have special means to remove the effects of this air poison on themselves. No matter what method they used, it didn't matter at this time, and at this moment, Kylloa couldn't use spells at all with his hands tied. Even if Daron was brute force, it would not help under the effect of poison. Now they have completely fallen for the enemy's tricks and become fish on someone else's chopping board.

Mei Lufa was already trembling with fright, and she didn't dare to squeak. Alicia looked at the tears rolling down the eyes of this little Lori with her peripheral vision, sighed, and said:

"I'll give you all the money, but I beg you not to touch my companion. ”

"Bang! bang!"

A clear clapping sound sounded in the hall, and Qinglong said with a smile:

"It's a valuable friendship, but since I have the upper hand in the negotiations, of course, I have the final say on how to negotiate. ”

In an instant, the smile on Qinglong's face suddenly disappeared, and in its place, it was extremely cold.

"Leave this girl and this wild cow behind, and take the rest away!"

Alicia panicked, and she saw Zazacha, Melusa, and Kylloa being dragged away by those who had a bad face, and walked in the direction of the back kitchen. There are exits to the back alleys, and God knows where they'll be taken.

Mei Lufa cried even more fiercely, she had long heard that the girls taken away by the thieves' guild were either pulled to sell yin or sold to human traffickers, and even some of the xing slaves who had their tongues cut off and became rich people's slaves The terrifying rumors were so real in front of her at this moment that she couldn't stop crying. She cried out to Alicia in a trembling voice, crying:

"Alicia...... Help me!"

Alicia was really angry, she was so angry. However, she was desperate, desperate for her own powerlessness. Her eyes were full of unwilling tears, the corners of her mouth were bitten, and a line of blood flowed down her chin. Without saying a word, she remembered the back of the person who blocked the whole world for her under the sunset. Every time she lives under the protection of others, and when her companions really need her, she can't do anything.

She clenched her fists and clenched them so hard that her palms turned purple. She couldn't tolerate this kind of thing happening endlessly, and now she just wanted to use all her strength to pounce on Qinglong and fight her opponent to the death.

"Calm down!"

Suddenly a voice brought her back to her senses, and she followed the voice, only to see Daron looking at her with worried eyes.

"He only left the two of us behind, there must be his purpose, let's hear what he has to say first. ”

Alicia watched her three companions being dragged out of sight, closed her eyes, and took three deep breaths before finally calming down. She suddenly opened her eyes as clear as a lake, stared at the green dragon fearlessly, and said:

"I had only one request, to release my companion. ”

Qinglong looked at the girl who dared to confront him, nodded, and gestured to the next hand, Alicia and Daron were lifted up at the same time, although their hands were still restrained, but at least they could stand with their backs straight, and their faces no longer had to be pressed on the table.

"I said, I'm here to negotiate a deal. ”

"What's the deal?" asked Alicia, her voice as calm as water, the same as before, and the robbery of her companion seemed to have greatly affected her mentality.

Qinglong observed her like this, and said:

"I want to make a bet with you. ”

"Don't sell it, I don't have time. Alicia's voice was unequivocal.

Qinglong shrugged his shoulders and said:

"I would like to invite you to participate in a game where if you win, I will not only release your companion, but also return all the gold coins to you. ”

"And what if I lose?"

"You and your companions must die. Qinglong said lightly without any emotion.

Alicia took another deep breath, pondered for a few seconds, and then asked:

"You said it was a bet, so you're going to make a bet?"

Daron couldn't help but be a little surprised, and Alicia, who was now questioning, seemed to be someone he didn't know. It may be that the crisis of her companions has made her more serious than ever. To be honest, Alicia used to feel like a sleeping cat, but now, both her aura and tone are very different from before. From her, Daron seemed to see a different kind of momentum. The momentum is as sharp as the north wind, sharp as a sword blade, and as majestic as a mountain. The momentum is faintly like a lion cub. Whoever touches the majesty of the lion will not be spared.

Qinglong glanced at Alicia deeply, and said firmly:

"Of course, I'm a gambler, and I can't play at all. ”

Alicia snorted coldly and asked:

"And what do you want to bet on?"

Qinglong put his hands behind his back and said with a smile:

"Like you, I'm risking my life. ”

Seeing that Qinglong said so casually, Alicia couldn't help but look suspicious and asked:

"Are you kidding?"

Qinglong's casual attitude made Alicia have to feel like she was being teased.

"It's true, if I lose, I'll give you my life, how about it?"

Alicia stared into the eyes of the green dragon, and the green dragon was not shy about it. After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Alicia sighed slightly and said:

"Well, I'll bet you. ”

Daron watched the conversation between the two of them, but did not interject. He had an inexplicable feeling that Alicia seemed to have grown up overnight and no longer needed to intervene as a parent.

Seeing that the matter had been decided, he asked out loud:

"So, how is this game played?"

Qinglong saw that the two had entered the game, and said with satisfaction:

"It's a chain game, it takes several steps, I'm not going to tell you where this game starts, I'm not going to tell you how to end it, you have to find it yourself. ”

"Are you playing with us?" Daron couldn't help but be furious again, the entire Central City was so big, but Qinglong didn't even tell them where the game started. Daron believes that this is a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for them. Perhaps, there is no game at all, it's just Qinglong casually talking nonsense, looking for them to be happy.

"Okay, okay, seeing that you guys are so pitiful, I'll give you a hint. Qinglong shook his head and said as if helpless, "Go to the Southern District and search, where you can find the starting point of this game." The time limit is before dawn the next day, and if you haven't cleared the game by the time the sun rises tomorrow, you'll have to throw in the towel. ”

The hint given by Qinglong was only narrowed down to a quarter of the original range, but where to go and what to do, Alicia and Daron were still confused.

Thinking back to the frightened expression on Melufa's face before she was taken away, Alicia made up her mind and said:

"Let's go, Darron, no matter what kind of game it is, let's just play it and beat it!"

Qinglong's men let go of the hands that bound the two, and Alicia turned her back and strode to the door with Daron in tow, pushing open the closed door. Under the smiling gaze of Qinglong behind him, he stepped into the endless crowd of people on the street outside.
