Chapter 496: Rookie Thieves
"I told them that you, our new president, Master Thieves, are coming back soon, but I can't tell them what you look like beforehand. When you introduce yourself, remember to put on a show and make them obey you!"
Seventeen opened the last door, he behaved very well, but Lanaya was just one number short of him, and the relationship was still the best, next to such a president, how could Seventeen's status follow the straight line.
However, Lanaya obviously didn't think so, as long as the master's wish was fulfilled and the things she brought with her were put down, she would withdraw from the club. She is already a member of the Radiant Grand Alliance, and if she is entangled with the Thieves Guild, something will go wrong sooner or later.
The dΓ©cor here is similar to the general meeting of the Violet Plateau, and the scale is about the same, and this is a chapter, and it seems that there are more people than the general assembly, but not much.
"Listen, everyone, you will receive new guidance and come out to meet the returning Master Thief!" shouted Seventeen in all directions.
"Can't you shut up?" Lanaya whispered a warning with a sideways glance at Seventeen.
"I'm not doing this for your good, fighting the strong and bullying the weak, it's all this rule, if you don't behave stronger, you will be looked down upon!"
From behind the various beams and pillars, in the room, seven or eight people dressed as thieves came out of the room, and they only took a wait-and-see attitude towards Seventeen and Ranaya who walked towards them, and did not show respect for the master.
Even if you believe it, you can't accept that this master thief is actually such a young woman, and so on, her face seems to be a little strange?
Looking up the symmetrical stairs on both sides, a middle-aged thief stood on a high platform and said, "Seventeen, this is the master thief you are talking about?"
"Yes. Seventeen secretly pushed Lanaya and whispered, "Speak!"
The ordinary thieves are all behind Lanaya, and this middle-aged thief is the only one in front of Lanaya, and it seems that he is the boss here.
The middle-aged thief stared at Lanaya intently with a serious face, the faint light from the wall lamps on either side flickering constantly.
"He's the vice president. Seventeen whispered again, and he stepped aside.
Lanaya glanced back, in fact, she only saw the side, but in such a short time, she had already used her mental power to sense the direction of everyone nearby.
Then, Ranaya took out the token with "Sixteen" written on it from the amethyst ring, showed it to the vice president, and then turned around, holding the token in her hand and making a half circle in front of her, so that all the remaining thieves could see it.
"Hello, I'm Sixteen, from the Assassination Force. I'm here today to quit the guild. β
It was quiet in the base, and Lanaya's voice could easily reach everyone's ears.
Seventeen looked at Lanaya in surprise, "What are you talking about......?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" said the vice president behind him.
Lanaya ignored Seventeen and turned to face the Vice President.
"I've heard Seventeen say that you're a relic contractor. We don't have any relic fragments here to detect the identity of the relic contractor, but I trust you. In the past two days, a new person has joined us, saying that she is eager to learn the art of stealing, and as a master thief, don't you want to meet her?"
"I have something right now. Lanaya declined the vice-president's request for the time being, called on Seventeen and a few other thieves, and sorted the things they had brought into separate rooms.
The vice president saw that Lanaya had called a few people to get busy, so he walked towards the practice room, intending to call the newcomer over.
"Where did the newcomer come from?" asked Ranaya Seventeen as the items were placed.
"I don't know, I think it looks quite pitiful, and I will also order three-legged cat kung fu, so I was recruited. β
"The brain is not normal. What does a good person learn to steal, and the slightest mistake in this business will kill you!" Lanaya put the last thing away and walked out, "I'll go and persuade her to quit the meeting." β
"Hey, wait, did anyone tell you that if no one wants to succeed to the chairmanship, the president can't leave the council?" called out Seventeen behind him, but Lanaya was gone.
As soon as Lanaya walked out, she saw the vice president greet and bring someone over.
The newcomer was still bowing her head, and Lanaya had already suddenly felt an ominous sign.
"Say a few nice words, whether you can make the master move to teach you knowledge is up to you. The vice president patted the newcomer on the back, and the newcomer walked forward slowly.
When he arrived in front of Lanaya, he knelt down with a thud, "Civilian Xiaoying, I've seen the master." β
As soon as the first word was spoken, Lanaya felt like a hammer in her heart. The novice thief named Xiaoying slowly raised his head, scratched his slightly messy hair, and looked at her with humble and longing eyes.
The moment the two looked at each other, it was as if the people around them no longer existed, time was frozen, and all the voices disappeared.
Although no one else recognizes it, it doesn't mean that Lanaya can't recognize it, on the contrary, Lanaya recognizes it at a glance, and she doesn't even need to look at it to know it.
Motriti!
She was disguised, her face was a little more immature, her hair was messy like that of a poor man who couldn't afford to eat, and her clothes were shabby, except that the Suffocating Blade still had two handfuls at her waist.
Lanaya never thought that this newcomer was actually Motriti, and at the same time, Motriti only knew that Lanaya was a member of the Thieves' Guild, and she didn't expect that she was actually the president.
"If you dare to reveal my identity in front of them, everyone here will die. Motriti's eyes turned cold as she watched as she used a voice to warn Ranaya.
Lanaya frowned, "You can make yourself look like this in order to get close to me?"
"Until I achieve my goal, you and I will not offend each other. β
"What goal?"
Motriti didn't answer anymore, and in the eyes of others, the two of them stood and knelt down and stared at each other for dozens of seconds, and even the vice president began to get anxious.
"I'm turning you down!" Ranaya shouted in front of the vice president, pointing to Motriti's forehead.
Leaving Motriti is equivalent to giving her a place to gain a foothold in Sunny Snow City, and the devil knows what she is planning against the Radiant Alliance!
"Why? But I saw with my own eyes how she did in the practice room, and she was brilliant and should be nurtured. The vice president immediately expressed his retention.
"If you recognize me as president, I should have the power to expel members from the Sanhedrin. Lanaya said to the vice president.
It's already difficult to withdraw from the club, but now that Motriti has come down, Lanaya can't leave, and she doesn't know what will happen when she leaves.
"Master, I am willing to study my skills and follow the teachings!" Motriti still knelt and did not get up.
The movement here attracted more and more people, and even Seventeen came over, and when they saw that there was a person kneeling in front of Lanaya, they were finally happy for Lanaya.
The vice president also said: "There is always a way out for people to do things, master, you can give tasks to the newcomer and let her carry it out, if the performance is not good, it is not too late to expel from the guild." β
Without saying a word, Lanaya grabbed Motriti by the collar and pulled her up, and Motriti had to stand up straight. The former life-saving benefactor, and then became a big rival, and he was picked up like a chicken by himself, and he really had an indescribable feeling.
"Get out. Lanaya pointed in the direction of the exit and said coldly.
Maybe except for this time, I will never see Motriti's pitiful appearance again.
Motridi paused for a long time, and finally let out a sigh, lowered her head, and slowly walked in the direction of the exit.
With a dull clatter of doors, Motridi left the place.
"Master, you ......" the vice president was speechless for a moment.
"Alright, now it's time to talk about my resignation......" Lanaya looked at Seventeen, "I heard you right, what you said is that someone needs to succeed me in the guild leader before I can leave the guild, right? β
"Master, we won't let you go. The vice president shook his head firmly.
"Since you all know that I am a relic contractor, you still let me keep my identity here?Do you know that the leader of the Radiant Alliance is a member of the Knights of the Church?!" Lanaya exclaimed.
"Since you're a relic contractor, why did you join the Thieves' Guild in the first place?" the vice president also said in a loud voice.
"I'm because ......"
It was because he wanted someone to find Baush's whereabouts, after all, to find the ancient book. Now that Bausch has found it, and the ancient book has been found, she has been dragged and unable to leave the guild.
"Master, the reason why the previous master chose you was because of his trust in you, and in order to live up to him, you should be responsible for this guild. The vice president said, "Before the previous master left the guild, did he say some words to you and give you the position of president?"
"Yes, yes, but this conflicts with my other identity! I am now applying to withdraw from the association, can't you let me go?"
"That's it. You remain the leader of the Thieves' Guild, but never reveal your identity here to anyone outside world, and we'll keep it a secret for you. Is that okay?"
Lanaya thought for a moment and said, "I can only say try." β
The vice president smiled with satisfaction.
The Thieves' Guild has declined, and they can only stand on their feet by finding a way to rely on the strong, and now they are also trying their best to hold on to the last straw.
"That newcomer just now, you go and chase her back. The vice president said.
"She can't stay!" Lanaya still didn't dare to say why, in case Motriti hadn't gone far, as soon as she heard it, she might have killed her immediately.
"If you can't keep it, you have to recover it and punish it severely. What if the newcomer has no rules and exposes the location of our base?"
Lanaya was shocked in her heart and hurriedly chased after her.
