vs 16 The Final Trial
After walking in the darkness for about ten minutes, Alicia finally saw a faint light coming from ahead. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but seeing the light and shadow swaying on the stone wall, presumably the light source is from something like a torch.
Sure enough, after walking out of the passage, Alicia saw the light of the fire coming from all directions, although this light should not have reached the level of causing eye discomfort, but it still made Alicia squint her eyes after wandering in the dark for a long time.
There was a cacophony of voices in my ears, and it seemed that there were a lot of people talking about something. Alicia adjusted for a moment and then opened her eyes, shocked by the scene in front of her.
Like Daron said, this place should be located below the underground water road. On the ceiling that forms the vault, the unbridled waterway pipes are visible.
The light of the torches is concentrated in a space of less than 100 square meters, and it cannot be illuminated at any depth. The darkness that stretched across the border told Alicia that the space was so vast that she didn't even know how far it could spread.
At this time, the space is packed with people. The different kind of shadow buried in their eyes tells Alicia that they are not good.
While Alicia was stunned, a woman dressed in crimson came over, holding a pipe made of pure gold between her fingers.
She walked up to Alicia, took a puff of tobacco, and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect you to really pass our trial. In this hundred years, you are still the first. ”
Alicia looked at the woman standing in front of her, recalled it in her mind, and found a corresponding name:
"You're Suzaku, right?
Suzaku nodded and said:
"That's right. ”
While Suzaku was talking, Alicia kept covering her nose and mouth. With the lessons learned, Alicia now has to be wary of anyone smoking in front of her. Suzaku also knew the reason, just smiled, but didn't say much.
"But you said that no one has passed it for a hundred years, is this trial so difficult?" asked Alicia suspiciously, although some of the trials were indeed tricky, but she didn't think it was to the point where no one could solve them in a hundred years.
That's not what I said. Suzaku put his lips on the cigarette holder, took another puff of cigarette and said, "This trial, once you fail, you have to hand over your life, so ordinary people don't dare to try it at all." If you think about it, each of the four branch presidents will have a question, which is completely based on the mood of the branch president. There was also a lot of competition between our four chapters, and if someone from one of the clubs was going to go through such a trial, they would inevitably be harassed by the other club presidents. ”
Alicia thought for a moment and said:
"You mean to say that because I'm an outsider, your four branch presidents won't deliberately suppress me?"
"Not necessarily. Suzaku shook his head and said, "Maybe it's because you're an outsider, so we don't want you to pass the trial." The president of the Thieves' Guild wants an outsider to be the leader, is that like a word?"
"Then I don't think you deliberately made it difficult for me. Alicia thought back to the trials left and right, and felt that they were all within acceptable limits.
"Hehe, let's not talk about it so much, look there. Suzaku suddenly interrupted Alicia's words and pointed forward.
I saw that the people of the Thieves' Guild deliberately gave them a deliberate passage to walk, and at the end of the passage, there was a treasure chest, which seemed to be inlaid with gems, which was quite luxurious.
"You can go to that chest now and open it, and there is a token of the Thieves Guild Master. Pick up the token, and you will be our president. Suzaku stepped back and gave way to Alicia.
Alicia looked around and said with a stern expression:
"But I haven't seen my companions yet, where are they?"
"Oh, you said they, look~" As he spoke, Suzaku pointed in the direction with his pipe.
Looking over, I saw that at the back of the crowd, Kylloya, Merufa, and Zazacha were all standing there, and Qinglong stood beside them, waving at Alicia.
When Alicia saw her companions again, she was naturally anxious, and immediately wanted to make sure that she was going through the crowd to make sure that they were well. But there was a pipe in the air, and Suzaku blocked her way again and said:
"There are so many junior brothers in our guild watching here, let's get down to business first. ”
As he spoke, Suzaku pointed to the treasure chest in front of him.
Alicia was really puzzled, and the more she thought about it, the more strange she became, how could she have to be the leader of this thief guild? So, she walked quickly to the location of the treasure chest, and behind her, Talon silently followed her.
After only a dozen steps, Alicia walked in front of the treasure chest, and she found that the people who had given her the trial before were standing around her and looking at her, thinking that it really seemed like a ritual of the Thieves' Guild. She is about to be crowned in front of everyone's eyes, wearing the "crown" of "President of the Thieves' Guild".
Her hand touched the treasure chest, but her mood was extremely complicated. She didn't know how much benefit she would be to being in charge of the Thieves' Guild, on the contrary, she didn't want to get too much contact with these characters who represented the dark side of society. At the moment, there was only one thought in her mind, and that was to free her companions.
Since yesterday, Alicia has been campaigning for this purpose, and they have taken her companion at the beginning and forced her to submit, so she has no choice but to ...... with Daron
Suddenly, Alicia felt as if a bolt of lightning struck her heart, making her hairs stand on end. An inexplicable sense of fear forced her to quickly withdraw her arm, and she stared at the treasure chest in front of her, as if it were a monster hidden in the form of a treasure chest. If Alicia reached out, the chest-shaped monster would open its jaws and devour her.
She took two steps back and scanned the surroundings, only to find that there was not the slightest hint of doubt in everyone's eyes. She became more and more restless, thinking about a question constantly.
Why was it supposed to be a trial to select the head of the Thieves' Guild, so that she and Talon should participate?
This is a question that Alicia ignored at the beginning. The leader of the Thieves' Guild can only be one person, but why did Qinglong let Talon follow Alicia to test with him from the beginning?
And in the end, it seems that everyone only wants Alicia to be crowned alone, so what is Darron's role in this process?
No, what's wrong, it's wrong......
Alicia spurred her brain cells to keep thinking, and she frowned at the green dragon standing at the back of the crowd, and from the smiling tiger's face, she once again smelled a strange scent.
Is the trial really over? Can she become the leader of the Thieves' Guild without Darron? Suzaku said that in the past 100 years, many people have failed, and they should all challenge alone. If it was a solo challenge, it would definitely be a big difficulty for the White Tiger, and Alicia didn't rely on her own efforts to pass that level at all. Even Suzaku was the first to discover the reflection of her weapon.
Without Daron, Alicia couldn't have stood here, but now she was the only one to be crowned the head of the Thieves' Guild......
Alicia thought it was strange that there was something very unreasonable about this matter.
They went all the way, in which dark passage just now, if it wasn't for Darron's presence, Alicia would actually be ......
Alicia was stunned, and as she thought about it, she realized a major problem. It was a contradiction that I discovered at the time, but I didn't think about it.
Why did the green dragon take the lead in the dark tunnel? Why was there no light at all in the dark tunnel? Why did Daron say that he would rush back as soon as he heard Alicia's call, but he still disappeared for a while?
And now,
Why didn't Daron say a word?
Alicia silently turned her head and looked at the black-armored warrior. Her expression was serious at this time, and her right hand quietly climbed the hilt of the sword hanging from her waist.
"Darlon, I have a question. ”
"Huh?" Daron looked at her suspiciously.
"In the tunnel, you said the passage was built under the underground waterway, right?" asked Alicia menacingly, unlike usual.
"yes, what's wrong?" Daron was still puzzled.
At this time, Alicia had already grasped the hilt of the sword in her right hand, and she assumed the posture of drawing the sword at any time, and asked word by word:
"It's the first time you've been here with me, how do you know that the tunnel is built under an underground waterway?"
"Oh, didn't you say something was dripping into your hair? I saw the water pipes crawling on the roof, you see, just like here. Daron pointed up, but Alicia didn't look.
"There's no light in the tunnel, how did you see the water pipes on the zenith?" Say, who are you!" Alicia shouted and drew her sword, and the whole person took a fighting posture and confronted Darron.
Daron was stunned for about 5 seconds, during which time seemed to stand still in the entire underground space, and no one dared to make a sound until ......
"Hehe, haha, hahaha!" Daron touched his head and couldn't stop laughing.
"Hey, I was negligent, ordinary people can't have the night vision of our thieves, I really didn't expect this. ”
Looking at the person in front of him, who did not have a trace of nervousness, but was constantly laughing, Alicia asked angrily:
"Where is Darron, and who are you?"
"Daron" waved his hand, and said in a relaxed tone:
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I just wanted to congratulate you on passing the final test. ”
"The Last Trial?" Alicia asked.
"That's right, this is the final trial, congratulations, you're already the head of our thieves guild presidents, all four of them. ”
"Who the hell are you?" this was the third time Alicia had asked this question, she didn't have a real sense of the title of president, and figuring out the identity of the person in front of her seemed to be a more important thing for her.
"Huh, me?" said Daron as he looked at Alicia with a smile, "I'm a liar." ”
Alicia turned her head suddenly, only to find that the "green dragon" who was originally standing at the back of the crowd covered her face with her hand, tearing off the camouflage mask on her face as if she had torn off a layer of skin. The eyebrows are very different, and it is not Qinglong himself!
Then, like the man, "Daron" tore off the disguise from his face. Ah, how familiar, and that smiling tiger face again.
