As Alina stared at the entrance to the inky underground waterway, the sound of the whirring wind, mixed with the smell of moss, decay, and dead rats, reminded her of the underworld described in The Adventures of the Two Bladers. Scarface went down first, and the white light of Sbee's ball of light was swallowed up by the darkness in the hole, and Scarface was submerged in darkness at once.www.biquge.info

"Safe. ”

A hoarse voice came from under the darkness.

"I'll go down first. ”

Alina took the lead, clutching the few rusty handles that remained, and descended into the hole, the darkness around her flooding her like a tide, cold moisture filtering through the expensive and fine fabric. Scarface stood silently beside her, as quiet as a stone statue, and the pale light on his face looked even more terrifying.

"Who am I?" she asked, staring at Scarface's face all the time.

"A hero. ”

Alina could hear Spy, who had just landed, let out a low mocking sound.

"Be more detailed. "Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to cooperate." ”

He was silent for a long time, until the sound of the lid closing sounded.

"All I know is that your name is Arcanis, and you have caused great trouble for a conspiracy lurking within the Empire. ”

"It's no different from what you said. The silver-haired girl pulled up her hood, the damp underground drain dripping with icy liquid, "I don't know anything about you. ”

"Me too. He smiled disgustingly, "I'm also worried that you'll find an opportunity to cut off my head after I've exposed you." ”

"Who the hell are you?" Speemore rubbed his chin, "If I'm guessing correctly, it has something to do with the summer airship raids." ”

He gave Sbee and Clendil a distrustful look, "Mind you, I'm only going to work with this young lady. ”

"Let's go first. Clendil stomped his feet on the slippery ground, sorming away the cool.

Alina nodded, "Let's talk about cooperation as we go." ”

She looked at Scarface, "My companions are all trustworthy, one is my vassal, and the other is my good teacher. ”

"I hope so. Scarface said.

The four of them walked through a tortuous underground labyrinth, and when asked Geroc never revealed his name, he hinted that Spy's reasoning was correct.

"By the way, how did you know about me?"

"See your deeds from the entrails of rats. Scarface kept an eye on Alina, her enthusiasm only worried him, and he wanted his collaborator to be a mature warrior and not a real girl.

"And you've been waiting for me in the tavern?"

"Nope. ”

"Talk about what we're going to do. ”

Alina was a little nervous, worried about whether her abilities would stand up to the test, like a job seeker facing a job opportunity.

"Maybe it's some money. Sby said.

"Academy. "I'll never be able to get into the academy again, but there's a key clue in it." ”

"What clues?"

Geroc glanced at the two half-elf companions, and Krendil, who was lagging behind, distanced himself knowingly, while Spybee looked at him coldly.

"Their nest is in the academy. He whispered a shocking message.

"Hmph. Sbee let out a cold snort.

"Academy?" Alina's eyes lit up, and she shook her hand excitedly, "Are you sure?

"I don't know, I still need some time and help. ”

"Actually, it's just gold coins, right? Spy interjected, "It can't be the Academy, but you still claim to be a student of the Academy, don't you know that the Academy is protected by ancient elven magic?"

You know, any stranger with bad intentions will be detected by elven magic, and the safe environment of the campus makes her one of the reasons why the aristocracy is desperate to send their children to the academy.

"Of course I do. Geroc glanced at the conceited boy, "Little ghost, I don't need you to remind you. ”

"Mean, the conspiracy has infiltrated the academy?"

"Yes. ”

"Oh, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard. "Ten thousand steps back, even if some people in the academy have been corrupted, they will not set up their nests in the academy, what big moves can they make in the academy? The academy is one of the safest places in Kazakhstan." ”

"The most dangerous places are often the safest places. Alina retorts that she hates Spy's self-confidence, and that danger often lies in people's confidence that there will be no danger, at least in adventure novels.

"Then they should set up a nest in the Central Council. ”

"You don't know anything. "You should give an example of your bedroom, which is the safest place in Kazakhstan as far as I know." ”

"Alina, this is certainly not the adventure you expected. Sbee looked at Alina, "It's good to give him as many gold coins as you want, don't trust him." ”

"You all admit that the badge is real. For the first time, Alina found Shibi unreasonable.

It doesn't mean he's telling the truth. ”

"Then leave me alone. "Quietly, don't speak." ”

"What should I do when I feel distressed to see you jump into a clumsy trap by yourself?"

"Then look away from your little eyes. ”

Sbee's face changed, and he stepped aside angrily.

"There's no denying that I need some gold. "I promise it worked out very well, I almost knew where they were." Don't tell anyone, not even the vultures of the Empire, God knows how much the Empire has been infiltrated by them. ”

"How do you know?" asked Alina, "if they are powerful, why haven't you been discovered?"

"Trust me. He pointed to his face and whispered, "The day the airship fell, and the City Guard killed all the survivors, and I was the only one who survived." But the flames ruined my face, just like they ruined everything for me. ”

"And the cost of knowing is more than anyone could have imagined, including me. He smiled wryly and rolled up his sleeves to reveal his arms. Alina looked at the old arm in amazement, its old age was different from the usual old, the old flesh covered the young flesh, as if it was some kind of curse that drew vitality.

"Don't trade with the mighty unknown. Even though his face burned, Alina could feel his expression of fear, "No matter how good the contract may seem, no matter what it can give you, sooner or later you will find out that everything will not be what you think." ”

"Word games?" Many adventure novels feature the devil teasing stupid mortals with word games.

"It's scarier than that, you wouldn't think that sometimes it's just a fly. ”

"It.. Who is it?"

The cold wind swirled around the dark corner, making a whirring sound, and the Scarface in front of him seemed to be trembling, his somewhat rickety back trembling, and cold sweat running down his bumpy face.

"Forgive me, I can't name it. He said, "I'll need three hundred ducats, and in a week they'll come to me in the Chaos Zone Underground Tavern, and ask them where Scarface is, or find a halfling bard, whom you'll meet at night." At that point, I'm sure to get the key information. Your cousin is Mr. Flogisa, a noble elven teacher, who is absolutely trustworthy and powerful, and will tell him that he will be able to destroy the lair. ”

Alina nodded solemnly, feeling as if fate had placed the burden of saving all beings on her shoulders.

"Remember. Alina turned her head, "Whatever happened, don't tell anyone what happened tonight." We didn't even get to the chaos zone, you know?"

"It's good if you're happy. ”

Sbee said coldly.

The group of four successfully exited the chaotic area through the other exit, Clendil seemed to have been reborn, and Spye was quiet, even when Alina paid Jeroc, she rarely didn't say a word. He didn't say a word until they got to the academy by car....
