Section 18 Truthfulness

"Whether she can become Hassan or not is not up to you alone, Qinglong. "The head of the North Branch, Xuanwu's cloudy old eyes, suddenly radiated a compelling coldness.

"Well...... Also, after all, you have to ask for her own opinion. Qinglong tilted his head and said.

"And the opinions of our three branch leaders!" Xuanwu's cane slammed on the floor, echoing in the empty space.

"But she's already passed the trial. Qinglong replied, "Those who pass the trial can become Hassan, this is the rule set by the first Hassan since ancient times. ”

"Really, even if you forced her to participate in this trial?" said Suzaku as he stood in a charming standing.

"That's why I said I had to ask her for her own opinion, and if she said she wanted to be Hassan, then I would give it my full support, and if she didn't want to, we could say goodbye. ”

Suzaku looked at Qinglong quietly, as if he wanted to see his heart through his eyes. However, this person is usually good at disguise and never shows his sincerity to anyone. Therefore, he has the title of "fraudster".

Now, Suzaku doesn't know if he's telling the truth or not, but Alicia did pass the president's trial. No one has passed this trial for a hundred years, and Alicia has obtained the qualification to become the leader of the Thieves' Guild in the most difficult way, and Suzaku has no position to oppose it. However, the most crucial question is whether having such a little girl from the Daylight World as their president will cause trouble for the Thieves Guild. In the final analysis, this incident was caused by Qinglong's arbitrariness in the first place. The other branch presidents didn't have any hope that such an unknown little girl would pass such a difficult trial. However, the final result also proved Alicia's outstanding qualifications. She passed all the traps, puzzles, and traps well, and now Suzaku can't go back. If Alicia is unwilling to be their president, this matter is easy to say, but if she is willing, to be honest, except for the three branch leaders of the Blue Dragon, they will be a little unconvinced.

The white tiger leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, his eyes fixed on Alicia but never spoke.

After listening to what they said, Alicia could also understand that Hassan should be their title to the head of the Thieves' Guild. She glanced at the rogue soldiers who surrounded her, and said to the branch leaders:

"I don't want to discuss issues in such an atmosphere. ”

Qinglong nodded and said:

"Alicia, let me make a suggestion. I'm going to get them all out now, leaving you and your companions and the four branch leaders of our Thieves' Guild behind. In this way, you have the advantage of numbers, and you will not need me as a hostage. Then, let's talk about it again, not in the way my head hangs over your sword. ”

Alicia grinned:

"Oh, do you want to negotiate? But I remember that the right to speak should be in the hands of the one who has the upper hand, right? I'm right now with the blade of my sword against your neck, and I'll move your head with just a hand." Or do you want to compete with my warriors and wizards?"

Qinglong smiled helplessly, because he remembered that he had threatened Alicia with a dagger not long ago.

"Let all of you stand back, and return all of my companion's weapons, and of course my gold, if one is missing, I won't make it easy for you!" said Alicia, menacingly.

Surrounded by thieves and soldiers, Talon was in high spirits. These are all guys who are proficient in the art of assassination, and if they are not careful, they may be attacked. Now everyone except Alicia has no weapons, so Daron and Zazacha have been protecting the Dharma by Kyllloa's side since just now, and if anything happens, they will definitely protect Kylloa and let him sing in peace.

Qinglong thought for a while and looked at Suzaku. I saw Suzaku shake his head, sighed, and called the two attendants beside him, and after saying a few words in their ears, the two attendants left in a hurry. Then, Suzaku raised her jade-like palm. In a few moments, the thief soldiers retreated behind the branch leader until they disappeared at the end of Alicia's vision.

"Are you all gone?" asked Alicia to the barbarian warriors beside her.

"I don't feel murderous, I should have gone far. Zazacha replied.

After a few moments, the two attendants who had been called away returned with footsteps from far and near. They held a variety of weapons in their hands, clanging, which were the equipment of Alicia's group.

Suzaku nodded to them, and they took a few steps forward and threw all their equipment on the ground. Among them, there are bags and bags of heavy gold coins.

"Darron, change hands!"

"Huh?"

Daron looked back, only to see that the Alician was no longer in place, and the silver holy sword was thrown into the air by Alicia, Daron caught it in the air, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the green dragon. And Alicia was striding towards the pile of equipment and gold coins at the moment.

After returning the equipment to her companions one by one, Alicia returned with the gold coin in her hand and asked:

"Kelloa, didn't you make magic marks for all the gold coins, are there few?"

"No less, all of them. Kylloa confirmed.

"Good!" said Alicia, happily stuffing bags of gold coins into her clothes.

"With so many gold coins on your body, you don't ...... too much," Qinglong smiled bitterly.

"You care about me!"

Soon after, Alicia managed to dress herself up as a dumpling. Her clothes were bulging, and she made all sorts of crisp jingles when she walked.

"That's it!"

"Ahem...... Now, can you let me go?" As Alicia packed up the gold coins, Qinglong knew that he couldn't distract the other party, so he waited until she was done with them before talking to her.

Alicia thought for a moment and said:

"It's so eerie here, I want to talk somewhere else. ”

"Where do you want to change?" Qinglong asked with a frown, a little reluctantly.

"There's a hotel in the East End called 'Pinxiangju', so let's go there. As she spoke, Alicia pointed to the green dragon who was being held hostage by Daron at the moment, "This person wants to follow us, and the three of you can follow slowly." ”

Xuanwu's beard suddenly trembled a little. So far, no one has dared to speak to their branch leaders of the Thieves' Guild in such a tone. Although Alicia is now qualified to serve as president, she is not the president after all. A person who is not the president dares to command the executives of the three thieves guilds so arrogantly. This made Xuanwu a little angry.

The situation of the white tiger is just the opposite, it is precisely because of Alicia's fearless character that the white tiger thinks a little higher of her in his heart.

Suzaku didn't speak, just watched as Alicia took the green dragon away by herself, but she didn't follow.

"It's really funny, if this girl really becomes our president, then the thieves' guild is estimated to change drastically. Suzaku said to herself as she wiped her golden pipe.

......

Alicia was guided by the blue dragon and reached the ground safely. When she saw the rising sun, she was so excited that her little tears were about to fall.

"Do you want to be the leader of this thieves' guild?" Kelloa immediately asked Alicia as soon as he stepped out of the ground.

"I don't know, what do you think?" asked Alicia.

"The pros outweigh the cons. Kyeloa replied succinctly.

"Oh?" Alicia's expression was a little surprised, looking at Kyeloa's attitude, it seemed that she had already decided about this matter, "What do you mean?"

"It's not convenient to stay here for a long time, so let's talk slowly at the hotel. ”

Daron pushed the hostage in his hand and asked:

"What about this guy?"

Qinglong smiled helplessly, but just a day ago, his position with theirs was reversed.

Alicia walked in front of the green dragon, looked at him carefully for a while, and asked:

"Qinglong, I want to ask you a question. Do you know me?"

Alicia's companions were a little surprised, and they focused their eyes on the green dragon. Everyone can see that Alicia's question actually hides an intention, which is to confirm whether Qinglong knows Alicia's true identity. Although they don't know how Alicia judged the possibility of her identity being leaked, if this is the case, things will get a little troublesome.

After glaring at Alicia's face for five seconds, Qinglong revealed his signature smile and said:

"No, I don't know you. ”

"You're lying to me. Alicia said categorically.

"Yesterday was the first time I saw you, I really didn't know you. If you want to catch up, you're definitely looking for the wrong person. ”

"Then why are you helping me everywhere?"

Dalong was shocked, she actually said that Qinglong was helping them?! In the first place, it was because of Qinglong that her companions were arrested. He put Alicia in a trial that would kill her if she wasn't careful, and what was like helping her?

"I don't know what you mean. Qinglong replied indifferently.

Alicia let out a breath and said slowly:

"There is actually no starting point for this trial, right? There are four districts in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and each district has a branch leader in charge. The purpose of this trial is to complete all the tests given by the chapter leader, but it doesn't matter where I start, it's okay, right?"

"Of course. Qinglong looked at the little girl with beautiful eyes and said.

"However, you deliberately gave me a hint of 'south', didn't you just want me to go to Suzaku first?"

"I didn't deliberately let you go to Suzaku first, the hint from the south is just random, even if I say that there is no difference between the north, the west, or even the east where I am, isn't it?" Qinglong asked with a smile.

"No, it's different, it's not the same at all. You deliberately guided me to Suzaku first, because only by using that trial as a starting point will the difficulty of the entire trial be adjusted to the minimum!" Alicia's eyes, shining beautifully in the bright sunlight.
