"Brother, what do you think of this Quint Hearthstone?"

On the way back to the hotel, Ai Luo walked with his hands behind his back and asked.

On the street, there was an oil lamp only ten meters away, which made the city look very dark at only nine o'clock in the evening, and there were almost no pedestrians at all.

Walking on such a street, Ji Lian's steps seemed a little cautious. He held his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "President, do you want to say something?"

Ai Luo smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just want to ask you what you think of this person."

William crossed his arms, thought for a moment and then said: "Well... this man looks very sincere. However, he must be a little pretentious. His hat and coat appear to be very clean, and

They are all made of fine silk. But his inner clothes don't look so clean, and even a little rough. But on the contrary, his gestures seem to want to show an ordinary person, but from now on

Judging from his fingernails and the way he walks, he is obviously not a person who works regularly. President, even if you want to settle accounts or write, you will trim your nails. But his appearance clearly means that he does not even settle accounts.

."

Ai Luo nodded and said: "In terms of observing people, you are indeed many times better than me. Is there anything else?"

"What else?" Ji Lian frowned, and after thinking hard for a moment, he said, "What else...well...maybe this guy is more abrupt. At today's competition, he would suddenly come over to chat with me, almost...

...If we say he is a naturally enthusiastic person...I haven't seen him saying hello to other players. It's like...he is specifically targeting me...this...this..."

As he spoke, it seemed that even the assassin himself noticed that something was wrong. He suddenly shivered all over, turned his head nervously to look at Ai Luo beside him, and said with a twitching corner of his mouth -

"President! Could it be that...does this guy...not care about me at all? But he wants to use me to set up a line...to hook up with you? To hook up with...Mermaid Song?!"

Obviously, after coming to this conclusion, Cream's face twitched for a while, showing a sad expression of losing a confidant and poker friend.

Coco, on the other hand, looked like he was gloating every day, and said: "You know it now? You are a stupid assassin who doesn't even know you are being used. Fortunately, you are still the number one intelligence officer of our guild."

"Stinky girl, you have a bad mouth."

Ji Lian gently patted the necromancer's head. Coco immediately covered her head and raised her head, snorting dissatisfied: "Don't hit me on the head! If you hit my head, I will be beaten stupid by you."

!”

Ji Lian didn't care about this little girl. Now he looked at Ai Luo nervously, and said with worry: "President... President! I want to ask a question now! That... I... I... I won today

Winning... being able to squeeze into tomorrow's candidate competition... is it my own ability?"

Ai Luo shrugged and said, "I don't know about that. Seeing how fiercely you fought... it should be your own strength."

"Huh...that's good." Ji Lian covered his chest and exhaled with a little bit of joy.

At this time, Keke uttered again: "Three points is your strength, seven points is because others are helping you, right? To be honest, you can still win so hard when people take the initiative to help you, your national war card level is really

It’s so painful. Oops! You hit me again! Moreover, this time it really hurts me!”

Ai Luo chuckled and said, "Who told you, a girl like you, to talk about people's pain points?"

Ji Lian shouted with a wailing look on his face: "President! Do you even think that my level of national war cards is poor? Am I really that bad? It's not that bad!!!"

Ai Luo's eyes flickered and he tilted to the side. After hesitating for a moment, he said with a slight embarrassment: "Actually, I think you are quite powerful. You can talk for three hours just talking about various tactics. You are really awesome."

You are already very powerful. It’s just that I don’t play the national war card well, so I don’t know much about it...but you should be pretty strong.”

Although these words were somewhat comforting and perfunctory, the expression on Ji Lian's face finally softened a little. His face turned red, as if he wanted to say something but was unable to speak.

Same.

After a long time, the assassin finally asked about the identity of Quint Hearthstone. Of course, after learning that the other party was the owner of the card production workshop and also sponsored the national war card competition, he finally seemed

Somewhat uneasy.

Of course, this assassin didn't do anything too radical. He just followed Ai Luo and Coco, lowered his head, didn't speak, and just followed.

Gradually, there were almost no people on the street.

And when viewed from a distance, the dim light looks like a guiding light guiding passers-by to the underworld, and it looks very scary.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the castle. The aqua blue castle now seemed brightly lit in the dim city streets. Warm light shone through many windows, and there was no sense of darkness at all.

As they walked, Coco on the side finally couldn't help it and asked: "Brother, President, so you said that Quint Hearthstone came to get close to us specially? Why did he get close to us specially? Did he ask us to make cards?

?Ah! I know!"

The expression on this little girl's face suddenly lit up! She said very excitedly: "Do you want to make our mermaid song into a card? Can we become a soldier card?! So let's talk about the magic in the national war card.

It seems that there is no necromancy magic card in the card... Then can I be a material and provide a complete set of necromancy magic?!"

All I can say is that sometimes it is a good thing to have too whimsical thoughts, and sometimes... it will look very cute.

Ai Luo smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, he shouldn't have any hostility towards us. Of course, the possibilities of the things you mentioned...may be possible, but we can only expect it. You must remember that next,

Until the Guild Championship begins, there will only be more people trying to contact us like this. Don't mind it too much, just treat us as fans of Mermaid Song. There is no need to alienate us, but there is no need to alienate us.

They acted too kindly. As for their purpose...haha, I believe it won't take long for them to emerge."

These words made Coco feel confused, but since Ai Luo said so, she was too happy not to think about it.

After all, I spent almost the whole day in the old Teng tree thinking about all kinds of lofty issues, which has already made this little girl's head look very tired.

It didn't take long before the two lanterns at the entrance of the White Whale Hotel appeared in front of the three of them.

Seeing the lantern, Cream seemed to finally remember his duty, and he quickly went up, knocked on the door, and pushed open the hotel door.

But the moment he pushed open the store door, the assassin seemed to feel something and turned his head away suddenly, glancing towards the shadows on the other side of the street!

The next moment, the assassin's body ejected almost instinctively, and got into the shadow like lightning!

Seeing Ji Lian's reaction, Coco quickly became alert and raised the wand in his hand, about to cast magic. However, when Arrow next to him saw one or two pedestrians on the street, he immediately raised his hand to stop him.

"Brother, President?"

"Wait a minute."

The two stood on the road. After about five or six seconds, Ji Lian, who had rushed into the shadow, retreated again. He glanced at the shadow with some doubts on his face, and slowly returned to the two of them.

beside.

"How's it going?" Arrow asked.

Ji Lian shook his head gently and said: "The other party ran away. I'm not familiar with the streets of Hanhai City. After the other party got into the alley, it was dark and I really couldn't chase him. I'm worried about the situation here.

, and will come back as soon as possible.”

Coco asked: "Is it the same as Quint Hearthstone, the people the president brother said came to deliberately approach us?"

Ji Lian frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I don't know... maybe. But if that's the case, the other party ran away immediately when he saw me coming over. It doesn't look like he wants to get close."

Ai Luo exhaled and said slowly: "Okay, okay, don't talk about this, let's go back first. It will be almost curfew in fifteen minutes."

After entering the hotel and saying hello to the iron-bearded boss who was sitting behind the counter reading a newspaper, the three of them went upstairs.

After gently knocking on Brad and Cheese's room, William opened the door, but there was still no one inside.

Haven't they come back yet?

After Brad and Buffy had lived in the guild for such a long time, they were no longer the fools they used to be who just relied on their smell to catch small animals in the forest to eat, so Ai Luo felt that he did not need to go.

Deliberately worry about them.

What's more... it's night now. It's night that the Night Clan is best at. That guy once said personally that as long as it's at night, there are few people in the entire Hanhai City who can deal with him.

Of course, this may be an exaggeration, but Ai Luo still feels that those guys should be trustworthy.

But... I haven't come back yet...

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if there is really something to worry about, compared to Brad and Buffy, Cheese will be more likely to worry...

Sigh...it's useless no matter how much you think about it, let's go and see what's going on on the other side first.

After saying a few words to William and asking him to wait until Brad, Buffy, and Cheese came back, Ai Luo turned his head and came to the other side of the corridor. At this time, Coco had just opened the door and walked in.
Chapter completed!
