"Daron, what kind of organization is the Thieves' Guild?"

On the way to the shoe shop, Alicia asked Darlon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well~ how to say it, I think it's better for you not to go too deep into this. Daron said after a moment's thought.

"Why?" Alicia thought that Daron was treating her like a child again, and immediately became angry.

"Because it's basically the most dangerous underground organization on the continent of Inphiria. Although when you think of the Thieves' Guild, you will think of the central city of Dicalren. But in fact, the guild's power is almost all over the entire continent of Inphilia. They have their headquarters in Dicarren, but they have branches and assembly halls elsewhere. Even Yebasta, the royal capital where you used to live, has distributed their minions. ”

"I don't even know. Alicia said in surprise.

"Of course, the principle of the Thieves' Guild is to act as secretive as possible. So people who weren't in the organization had no way of knowing the location of the branches and the assembly halls. Even in Dicarren, although everyone knows that they have their headquarters here, no one can find them at all, it is almost invisible. ”

"And where we're going now, is it their headquarters?" asked Alicia innocently.

"How is that possible? The place we are going to now is at best a 'point of contact' for them. In a place like this, the whole Dikalren doesn't know how many are hidden. It is said that the headquarters is a place known only to the guild leader, the four branch leaders, and a few key personnel, and it is only needed at the highest level of the guild to discuss major decisions. Daron explained.

"And the branch leader, how many people are in the Thieves' Guild?"

"What do you say? Almost all the thieves in Infilia have to be named in the guild, and then you have to count the guild's exclusive assassins and intelligence officers, and there must be a few thousand people anyway. ”

"Thousands...... It's not a small force, and the government is completely ignorant of such a force taking root under its nose?" asked Alicia in surprise.

"The Thieves' Guild was just a meeting place for thieves and murderers, and the DiCalren government didn't care. Slowly, it absorbed more and more people living in the dark world, and it expanded as an organization. Seeing that its influence is getting bigger and bigger, when the government wants to take care of it, it finds that it is no longer capable of interfering. ”

"To put it bluntly, the people in the government are not doing things. Alicia sarcastically.

"Well, now they probably can't afford to provoke them at all. Assassinating a government official is a no-brainer for the Thieves' Guild. So maybe the government will have to give the thieves' guild some benefits on a regular basis. Otherwise, if one day he was on the guild's assassination roster, he might not even know how he died. ”

"That's why the Thieves' Guild is so rampant in the underground of Inphilia. Alicia sighed again.

"yes, that's why I said don't get too deep. With such a large force in an organization that values its secrecy, the more you learn about it, the more dangerous it becomes. Daron said with a smile.

Kylloa shook his head and interjected:

"The thieves guild are not good at stubble, this time we are just here to entrust them with a job, after explaining it to them, just pay and leave, don't say superfluous words. ”

Hearing this, Alicia nodded silently, and was afraid of this mysterious organization in her heart.

After walking a short distance, the group found the shoe shop hidden in the alley. At this time, its door was closed, but through the crack in the door, you could vaguely see the light coming through, and the sound of banging things sounded inside from time to time, so Alicia pushed the door open and walked in.

In the dim light of a dilapidated chandelier, an old man sits on a low four-legged stool in his overalls. Holding a hammer in one hand and a spike in the other, he was mending the sole of a dirty leather shoe.

After everyone came in, the old man did not raise his head, and said very unceremoniously:

"It's closed today, so come back tomorrow. ”

It's a very narrow shop, and it looks like it's been around for a decade or two. There was peeling wall ash all over the walls, and there were traces of water seepage in the corners. Wooden shelves were nailed haphazardly to the surrounding walls, and on the shelves were all sorts of leather shoes, but they all looked old.

Daron stepped forward, picked up a pair of leather shoes, and said, pretending to be observant:

"I have two pairs of shoes, and I usually take care of them, but I don't know if the maintenance method is right, so I came to ask the boss. ”

The old man did not answer, and continued with the work at hand.

"'Cowhide shoes are oiled frequently, cashmere shoes are brushed. 'I wonder if the method we used was appropriate?' Daron suddenly lowered his voice and asked lightly.

The old man still didn't stop what he was doing, but he raised his eyes and scanned the crowd.

Alicia shuddered suddenly, and when the old man's eyes met hers, she clearly felt a sharp momentum hidden in the other person's eyes. That momentum is completely inconsistent with the old man's appearance to give people the feeling of being old.

Suddenly all that was left in the air was the sound of an old man pounding nails. There was a long silence until the nail was completely struck in the heel of the shoe, and the old man gave Daron a look and said:

"Close the door. ”

Standing at the back, Zha Zha Cha casually took the door away. Seeing that the door was closed, the old man slowly got up and walked to the corner of the wall behind. He reached for the wall there, then silently tapped it with his knuckles. There was a hollow sound coming back from the wall, which turned out to be hollow. Moreover, Alicia noticed that the old man's beatings seemed disorganized, but in fact implied an indescribable rhythm.

At last, the old man's beating stopped, and the wall moved to the side, as if it were a secret door!

Behind the door, there stood a fierce man who was more than two meters tall. After glancing at everyone viciously, he made a gesture of beckoning and said:

"Come in!"

The crowd didn't say anything, but obediently followed in and came to the back of the shoe shop.

It is a dark alley that cannot be seen from the outside, and is lined with the towering walls of the buildings, so that no sunlight can shine in.

Following the fierce man, Alicia turned a corner and saw a stone staircase leading underground.

The man stood at the mouth of the stairs and said to the crowd:

"Let's go down!"

Then he stayed there, standing still with his hands folded on his chest.

It seems that he is the one in charge of guarding the wind at the entrance.

So Daron shrugged and walked to the first. Alicia followed him down, and when she passed by the man, she inadvertently glanced at the other party, only to see that the other party immediately threw a gaze at him as if she was going to kill someone, so frightened that Alicia shrank her neck, and quickly took a few more steps, and moved forward against Darlon's back.

It is a spiral staircase, flanked by walls made of stones, with torches planted at intervals, and light enough for everyone to see the path underfoot.

After coming down, Alicia's first feeling was that she was in a prison.

In the dimly lit basement, the only source of light is the torches that are plugged in all around. Several iron fenced doors surround the left and right, and the inside looks like a prison cell.

In the slightly larger space in front of you, there is a writing desk. In front of her in front of her, a sexy, boldly dressed woman sat behind a desk, holding a long silver pipe and spitting smoke. She seemed to inadvertently cross-legged Erlang's legs, a pair of white and flawless long legs made people see it at a glance, and the scenery between her legs loomed in the smoke. Her upper body was dressed in a silk dress that could transmit light, her two round hemispheres were exposed, and the air was filled with the breathtaking smell of perfume, which mixed with the smell of smoke wafting from the pipe to make people faint.

Alicia thought there was no one else in the room except this woman. But Zazacha had already captured the shadows hiding in the corners through the breath. It seems that as long as Alicia and them do something unusual, these people will come out with the guys and clean them up.

The sexy woman's eyes under the curly hair were misty, and she took a deep breath on the cigarette holder with her lips marked with a beautiful mole at the corner of her mouth, and then slowly exhaled the smoke, and then said in a numbing voice:

"This is the Thieves' Guild, is there anything that can serve you?"

Alicia glanced at Daron and, after seeing that the other party nodded to herself, she took a deep breath and sat down on the chair opposite the woman.

"We have a dangerous job to do, and we need your help. ”

The woman smiled slightly and said:

"No problem, killing, arson, robbery...... We will take all kinds of dirty work, no matter what your requirements, we will definitely make you satisfied. Even if you ask us to bring the mayor's gold chest, we can do it for you. ”

Alicia glared and said:

"This can too?!"

"Of course, it's just a matter of remuneration, as long as you offer the right price, there's nothing we can't do. ”

Alicia nodded, a feeling of awe for the Thieves' Guild in her heart.

"Our request was simple, but we wanted it to be done safely. ”

"Don't worry, let's talk about what kind of job it is?"

Alicia swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took another deep breath and said:

"I want you to send a letter to someone in the palace. ”

The woman carefully observed Alicia's expression, spat out a puff of smoke ring, and said:

"It's as simple as that?"

Alicia nodded vigorously, and at the same time said in an emphatic tone:

"This letter must be handed over to this person by hand, and must not be known to anyone else in the palace. ”

The woman bowed her head slightly and asked:

"Who is this person?"

Alicia looked into the woman's eyes and replied steadily:

"Chancellor of the Court, Metz Walker. ”
