Dark, but not hypocritical, the Thieves Guild also has the practices of the Thieves Guild
"Ah, it turns out that the president is here. It's really disappointing to welcome him from afar.
Chu Yu, what are you doing? It¡¯s so rude to put your sword down quickly.
I feel really bad that I didn¡¯t notice it at all, but I think the president won¡¯t mind. After all, although we, the Night Butterfly Thieves, are a band of thieves, we have been living in the sun, so we really can¡¯t get used to the way thieves greet each other.
? ? Please also bear with us. "Chen Xiaoming said with a smile and went up to him. At the same time, Chu Yu also stuck her sword on the ground, but she did not leave immediately, she just stood aside silently, with an expression on her face that showed no sign of relief.
Chen Xiaoming will naturally not admit his mistake. Such a distinctive little hooded man is naturally the president of the Xiandu Planet Group of the Thieves Guild.
As the Thieves Guild Leader, the old man could naturally hear the sarcasm in Chen Xiaoming's mouth, but the Thieves Guild Leader had never seen anything, so how could he be moved by these few words? He just smiled slightly and said, "Haha.
"Captain Chen, don't be angry. I have no other intention. I just want to wait for you to finish talking before coming over. I accidentally became invisible out of habit, but I don't want to cause any trouble to your group."
This is really not my original intention, so please don¡¯t mind me, the leader. "
At this time, Chen Xiaoming had already stood in front of the Thieves Guild President. He waved his hand and then bowed slightly, "Of course not. May the light of treasure always shine on us."
The hooded old man also slightly bent his back, "May the light of treasure always shine on us."
"Huh." At this time, Chu Yu seemed to be dissatisfied with the two people doing Tai Chi here, and snorted coldly.
Chen Xiaoming immediately trembled, and immediately did not dare to talk anymore, and asked, "Okay. We believe that the president will not be malicious. But we don't have much time. I am still injured. This time I just went out for a walk. , being outside in the wind all the time is not conducive to my recovery.
So, sir, if you have any questions, just tell me. "
"Hehehe, actually I'm here for this." As a thief, President Hood also didn't like to beat around the bush. He laughed strangely a few times, but the sound seemed to come from the back of his neck, making people's hair stand on end.
Then, the Hooded President tremblingly raised his sleeves, revealing the dry fingers inside.
"You!" Wen's surprised voice came from behind.
Chen Xiaoming frowned. He naturally knew why Wen was surprised, because he also saw something impossible to see at the same time.
That¡¯s right¡ The old man was holding a somewhat withered crimson rose between the two fingers exposed from his sleeves.
This made Chen Xiaoming feel very bad. Wen's surprise said it all.
Yes, this dried crimson rose was exactly the one Wen stole from Huo Zhengqing.
But now, it is in the hands of the old man.
"There is no doubt that it was stolen.
When no one knew it, the thieves president had unknowingly stolen it from Wen's arms.
Even Fumi, who is a Kaitou, is completely unaware of this.
What a show of force, what a clever method!
This action made Chen Xiaoming think about it again and again. While weighing the other party's purpose in his mind, he was a little hesitant for a moment.
"Haha. Don't be nervous." President Hood slowly retracted his sleeves, half-squinted his eyes, and said calmly, "Old man, I'm just used to it.
It¡¯s easy, that¡¯s it, there¡¯s no other meaning at all.
"However, although Wen Xiaozi is a Phantom Thief, he is still too young. Sometimes, it is better to restrain himself.
And don¡¯t neglect training your basic skills. "
"I have learned a lesson." Wen still wore his smiling mask, making it difficult for people to see what he was really thinking.
At this time, he, who had just been taught a lesson, was standing next to Chen Xiaoming. But at some point, a dry crimson rose appeared in his hand, which was being gently twisted by his two slender fingers, making a hissing sound.
Wen raised his head, looked into President Hood's eyes, and said, "However, you must continue to practice basic skills throughout your life. President, although you are no longer young, don't forget it."
"Hehehehe." The Hooded President raised his head, revealing his withered and ugly face, and clapped his hands at the same time. He seemed to have a small piece of paper between his fingers.
President Hood played with the piece of paper carefully. With a slight shake of his hand, the piece of paper disappeared to nowhere.Gone. Then, President Hood said, "I even wrote the notice letter, which is amazing.
OK, I have collected this preview letter. It is really a good gift.
"But you still have to give me that crimson rose. You can't let me come here in vain." "
"That's natural." Chen Xiaoming didn't say much. He took the dried rose flower handed over by Wen and handed it to President Hood.
President Hood naturally took the flower into his hand, held it effortlessly, and fiddled with it left and right. Then under everyone's eyes, the floral cloth took the same path as the card and disappeared without a trace.
This weird scene did not cause any screams. Everyone was calm as if it were natural.
That¡¯s right, this is the Thieves Guild President, just a flower and a piece of paper. If he can¡¯t do even these, he must be a fake.
At this time, President Hood paused and said, "You guys really made it easy for me to wait.
¡°After so many days, no one has even thought of coming to me to hand over a task. I really don¡¯t know if you guys are not smart enough, or you are too arrogant, and you still asked me to come here in person.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out out out out out of curiosity? Don't know how to respect the elderly at all. "
"Yes." Wen nodded sympathetically, "Since the president is so old, shouldn't it be time to retire? You can choose my position."
"You?" President Hood laughed suddenly, "That won't work. If you really become the Thieves Guild President, I'm afraid the Thieves Guild will probably move to the middle of the street.
??Okay, no more gossiping, just wait a moment. "
President Hood said, and took out a black instrument from somewhere. It was dirty and seemed to have the coat of arms of the Thieves Guild engraved on it.
The instrument was not big, so President Hood put it in his hand and fiddled with it a few times. The instrument flashed a few times and went out.
Next, President Hood turned the instrument away again and said to Chen Xiaoming, "It's done. Although Crimson Rose's power has been lost, this is somewhat inconsistent with the requirements of the mission.
But I have reported the incident at the same time, and the mission center has passed the review.
No problem, your mission is completed. "
Chen Xiaoming frowned, he naturally understood what President Hood said.
However, the reason why he has never handed in this task is naturally not because he has forgotten it, let alone because he is putting on airs.
In fact, when Chen Xiaoming woke up, he immediately wanted to complete the trial mission of the Thieves Guild. You must know that he now has the [Low-level Mission Center Personal Teleportation Terminal] in his hand, so he does not need to enter the mission center to complete the mission. .
However, when he saw the crimson rose that Wen took out, he had to hesitate.
In fact, almost all of the power of Crimson Rose was transferred to Huo Ziwei when Huo Zhengqing resurrected Huo Ziwei.
In other words, the crimson rose in Wen's hand is not a real crimson rose. Huo Ziwei is the real crimson rose.
The crimson rose flower held by Huo Zhengqing is actually just a medium. Through it, Huo Zhihuo can mobilize Huo Ziwei's power to enrich his fighting and fighting styles.
However, when Huo Ziwei was awakened by Liuli's Princess Stone, the link between Huo Ziwei and the crimson rose flower was severed. The flower that lost its energy supply suddenly lost its effectiveness and withered instantly.
Therefore, although he got the crimson rose required by the mission, Chen Xiaoming did not think that the crimson rose that had lost its power could meet the requirements of the Thieves Guild. So he had to hesitate about how to solve this matter in order to get his reward, so he put this matter aside for the time being.
Unexpectedly, the Thieves Guild Leader would come in person for this matter, which really surprised Chen Xiaoming.
However, this did not make Chen Xiaoming feel grateful to the other party. The words of the Thieves Guild President made him frown, and his face became increasingly ugly.
"Passing by? Are you spying on us?" Chen Xiaoming asked, his voice sounded cold.
At the same time, Chu Yu also took a step sideways, holding a heavy sword, and stood next to Chen Xiaoming.
However, President Hood did not seem to notice Chen Xiaoming's dissatisfaction, and just answered casually, "Of course. But it shouldn't be called surveillance, but observation."
Since we are optimistic about you and have made such a big bet, how can we not do some investigation?
I think you should be able to understand that we are all thieves, and we cannot believe in such things as integrity, right?
?Okay, I understand, your dissatisfaction is not because we were secretly observing, but because we, the Thieves Guild, did not take action when you were in crisis.
However, I hope you can understand that the Thieves Guild is not a charitable union, nor is it a hypocritical place.
"If you can't even pass such a simple level, it means that I am mistaken.
So you can only rely on yourself.
Want to rely on the Thieves Guild? Forget it, even if I take the blame and resign, I won't lift a finger for you.
Although what we do is very dark and makes people unhappy, it is not unreasonable.
Remember, the Thieves Guild also has the same practices as the Thieves Guild.
Of course, since you have passed the test, I will also shoulder my own responsibilities.
This time, I have specially prepared a gift, I believe it will satisfy you. "
"Okay, I accept your explanation." Chen Xiaoming nodded. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he also understood that the other party really would not and should not help.
