Vician gave two choices. Alice could indeed stop here and stay away from the shadow that shrouded the imperial capital.But she didn't want to do that. She wanted to be one of those adventurers written in the book, punishing the evil and leaving a good name. This was her dream and her pursuit.
"I'll go with you. Now that I've met you, I won't do anything."
Alice patted her chest and promised that she would not back down or give up, and she would go with her friends.The way she vowed was a little silly, but also extremely sincere, and the barrier between the three of them disappeared.
This time, they are really on the same side.
......
After the "mobilization meeting".
Vician called Alice to the corridor. He opened the window and put down the rope to signal Alice to use this to go down.The courtyard outside the window is connected to the outward passage, from where they can leave here quietly.
The three of them jumped off the rope one by one, with Visian walking at the end and preparing to retrieve the rope. When they met, they were already outside the prison.
This private prison was built on the outskirts of the imperial capital, surrounded only by farmers' fields and sparsely populated. This allowed Alice and her party to easily bypass everyone and return to the imperial capital.
Visian did not lead them to walk on the main road of the imperial capital, and they were not sure whether they were being traced.Therefore, Vician and Caschia took Alice to the bridge, where they took a boat and followed the water to reach the lower city.
Alice had never seen this before, and he thought that downtown would be as neat as uptown.In fact, the lower city of Ander is overall dark and dull, and the magnificent imperial capital has discarded all its dark sides here.Dilapidated houses, old decorations, and uncollected garbage are everywhere. The sour smell lingers on the streets of the lower city. Even the clothes of the residents are mostly patched.
"This is all the Count's fault."
Vician whispered, disgust in his voice.The Count had been oppressing the residents here since before he settled in the lower city. He still remembered the scene he saw when he first arrived: the bodies of young children were floating in the river at their feet, and the mother on the bank was crying. , the guards formed a circle behind her and laughed.
Earl Albert said this: "You deserve this. If you obey me, you should lie on my bed well now."
Then Vician went up to take action, and from then on the feud between him and Count Albert was forged.
The memories of the past were cut off by Vician, and he took a deep breath. He should not expose his negative emotions in front of the guests. He stretched out his hand to Alice as an invitation.
"Welcome to the lower city, the next stop is the Thieves Guild Pelgard."
——TBC——
supplement:
Alice has a strong sense of adventure and is a bit nosy.But she is by no means the Virgin. She has her own set of moral values to measure everything.
Chapter 10: Thieves Guild Pelgard
"Welcome to the lower city, the next stop is the Thieves Guild Pelgard."
Just because of Visian's words, Alice followed them to the so-called Thieves Guild. The three of them came down from the wellhead.
At that time, she pointed to the wellhead in disbelief and said, "Do I have to go from here?"
"Of course, this is the nearest entrance and exit."
Then she was forcibly sent to the bottom of the well. The well had long since dried up, and the passage connecting to the bottom of the well extended into the distance.Visian picked up a few torches from the corner, lit them and distributed them.
Alice took one, and she remembered her encounter in the temple. If possible, she didn't really want to explore the well right now.What moved her was that the road leading to the Thieves Guild was very safe except for being a little dark. There was no dirty water and no defensive mechanisms.Somehow, Vician brought Alice to the door of the guild.
Flags were hung on both sides in front of the Thieves Guild, and a emblem consisting of a black background and a white eagle was embroidered on the cloth.Wei Xi'an knocked on the door, and the small window on the door was opened from the inside after a moment.
The people inside opened the door immediately after seeing Visian's face clearly.
"President!!!"
As soon as the door was opened, someone rushed out from inside while shouting.The red-haired lady came menacingly, charging towards Vishian with the long knife in her hand.
Wei Xi'an was stunned for a moment, his mouth opened but he couldn't say anything. While he was stunned, the lady had already put the tip of the knife against his nose.
"Where have you been?"
The red-haired lady is Robinson, the second-in-command of the Thieves Guild, known as "Red Sparrow".She was very angry at her president for leaving without saying goodbye. After learning the news that the president was coming back, she immediately returned here, only to find that he had disappeared again.
Robinson had been ignored by Visian for a whole week, so now she was holding a knife and planning to pin Visian to the wall.
"Calm down, calm down. Calm down."
Vician raised his hands and took half a step back. Alice and Caschia behind him perfectly blocked his escape route, and he couldn't go anywhere.
"You let me go for a week. Is it so difficult for you to handle affairs?"
Robinson's knife tip came a little closer, and Visian had to shrink his shoulders to avoid it.
"help me!"
Vician turned his head and looked at Caschia and Alice for help. Because of his eyes, Robinson noticed the two people standing behind him.
"It's okay if you hit him, but let us in first, okay? This guest needs a rest."
Caschia planned to hand Vician over to the furious Cardinal and lead Alice to rest first.Robinson looked at Alice apologetically and said, "You've never met me before. It's really hard for you to get along with our president."
"Hey, hey, hey, you two are going too far."
"I do most of the physical work, okay? I'm a human being too, and I need to rest too!"
Visian retorted anxiously that he was actually very tired, but now he just wanted to run away from Robinson.It was indeed his fault to let the other party go for a week, but he had a valid reason!
This week, he followed the whereabouts of "Thief's Wrist" all the way to the east of the mainland. After finding the clues, he rushed back to the imperial capital without stopping, which resulted in him only having one night's rest.
His head started clamoring for a strike not long ago, and Wei Xi'an finally managed to prevent himself from falling asleep on the way. He forced himself to pretend that nothing was wrong and returned to the guild just to rest early.
Then, unexpectedly, he was caught by Robinson who returned to the guild early.
"Tsk, let me spare you first."
Robinson mercifully moved the long knife away and let their guild president go. She pulled Alice and brought them into the guild.Wei Xi'an, who was left at the end of the team, breathed out immediately. The fatigue of several consecutive days spread along his limbs and throughout his body at this moment. His vision went dark and his breathing stopped for a few seconds.
No one noticed anything strange about him, except El, who jumped out of the box and ran to Vishian's feet to rub against him.
"You are quite perceptive."
Wei Xi'an stroked his cat's tail, slowed down on the spot, and waited until the dizziness completely subsided before walking towards the inside of the guild.In front of him, Alice had already chased after El because of El's departure, as had Caschia and Robinson.
After Visian's repeated promises, Robinson finally agreed to settle the score with him after everything was over.
As for Robinson, she has now become Alice's tour guide, leading her around the guild.
"What did Vician and Caschia do?"
"They went to deal with official documents and won't be able to come out for a while."
Alice had never thought that the Thieves Guild would need someone to handle official documents. In her impression, didn't the thieves pile up the stolen treasures into hills, and then use drinks to celebrate another unlucky person falling into their hands?
Robinson gave her the answer. She said that those things were done by the "Thieves' Wrist". They were just a group of people with the name of thieves. They themselves were more like a resistance organization operating in the dark.
Although they did make a living by stealing, they never took anything from poor people. Those with high official positions were their targets.They allocate part of the stolen finances to provide relief to the residents of Lower City, and are also responsible for protecting them.
This is also the reason why the Thieves Guild Pelgard can gain support in the Lower City.
"Sounds very handsome, robbing the rich and giving to the poor is just like a thieves!"
"Don't think so, we are just a bunch of thieves."
Robinson waved her hand. She joined Pelgard simply to survive, as did many of the people she knew.
"Don't imitate us, let alone our president, you will become a loser."
The negative teaching material she was talking about was lying on the table, frowning at the pile of documents. He didn't know where a thieves' guild came from so many documents.
"Our guild can only introduce so much. If you want to rest, just go to the guest room in the south."
"Well, thank you, Miss Robinson."
Alice accepted Robinson's proposal. She said hello to the two people who approved the official document and then went to the guest room. The guest room of the Thieves Guild was relatively small and had few furnishings.The bed is also relatively hard, but Alice said she can get used to it.She lay on the bed and took a nap. When she woke up again, it was almost dinner time in the guild, and Alice's stomach was ringing.
She had eaten nothing today except the breakfast she had at Dai Si'an.
Following the scent coming from behind the door, Alice came to the hall, where the cooks were taking out the food from the kitchen.The thieves also gathered together in twos and threes at this time, discussing what happened that day.
As the guild leader, Vician did not appear at this time. Alice noticed this and asked the people around her. They all said they didn't know. Finally, Alice found Kaschi standing in the corner. Ya.
"Where's Visian? Isn't he coming to dinner?"
"He went out for something and will probably be back later."
"What did he go out to do?"
Caschia didn't know where the guy had gone, so he could only answer Alice this way.
"I don't know, don't worry, I won't die."
It's not that he doesn't care about his companions, but it's useless if he cares. He is the person in the entire guild who is most familiar with Visian's temper. He has already understood Visian's free and excessive character since he was a child.Caschia didn't want to force anything more. He was already very satisfied to see the other party alive again, so Caschia turned a blind eye to the other party's behavior and had a completely laissez-faire attitude.
Alice stopped asking. If the reliable Caschia said so, then Vician, who went out alone, must be fine.
Alice had a great time at dinner. The dinner provided by the Thieves Guild did not use any high-end ingredients and was very simple to make, but it tasted extremely delicious.The potato cream soup was delicious with brown bread, and the minced meat patties were juicy and delicious. These foods warmed Alice's stomach and made her feel like she was back home.
Home?Maybe it's like a big family here.
The uncles sitting at the long table had already started drinking together. The noise and laughter echoed in the guild, and Alice felt warm here.
It's incredible that the word warmth cannot be associated with thieves.
Alice was sipping the juice from the glass, and Robinson was sitting opposite her. The red-haired lady was arm wrestling with a strong man, and the bet was a bottle of red wine.Alice cheered her on, and Robinson won one after another until night came and the competition came to an end.
Robinson returned to his room with a pile of wine, and Alice was about to leave the table.After she returned to the room, she recalled that there was one person who had not appeared at the table from beginning to end, and that was Visian.
Alice was a little worried, not sure if the guards were still after them or if it was safe to go out now.The members of the Thieves Guild showed no signs of moving out at this time. Could it be that Visian just went out for a walk?
There was no reasonable explanation, and Alice didn't want to give herself a headache. She repeated what Caschia said to her: "Don't worry, you won't die."
She stretched out, threw herself on the bed, and spent the night holding on to the slightest apology to Wei Xi'an.
——TBC——
Visian is hungry outside and is being chased by guards...
Chapter 11: Wanted
"Gentlemen and ladies. I have good news for you."
"We! We're wanted!"
Visian stretched his hands from behind to the front, holding three wanted posters in each of his hands, with the three of their faces printed on them.
——————————————————————————————————————
It was already the next day when Wei Xi'an returned. He missed yesterday's dinner and today's breakfast.When he opened the secret door and returned to the guild, he saw the members running up to him and gloating to him: "You are late, there is nothing left to eat."
At that time, he almost fainted on the spot.
