Volume IX Thieves Guild Chapter Twelve Know-it-all
Sitting on the White Crane Tower in the middle of the underground city, watching the Sugrila River flowing quietly from below, Gu Yao felt very calm.
One of the two moons in the underground city, Ruiman, hangs in the sky. After nearly half a year in the underground city, Gu Yao can already distinguish them. Compared with Caesar, Ruiman is slightly smaller.
Gu Yao has adapted to the life here, and has begun to like this fallen city more and more. It is dark and violent, but also full of freedom and not restricted by any rules.
The world of the strong, the world of the weak and the strong.
Gu Yao picked up the wine glass and took a sip. It was extremely bitter when it first entered his throat. It was suspected that the vendor had improperly protected the product during transportation and was affected by the time and space effect.
However, after maintaining the bitterness for half a minute, it gradually turned into sweetness, leaving a mouth full of fragrance and a pleasant fragrance.
This kind of wine is called "Hope", which is a very poetic name. I hope that every guest who drinks it will be able to have a happy life and be full of hope.
Gu Yao fell in love with this unique taste after trying it once, it was like tasting life.
This kind of wine is only produced in Baihe Tower in the underground city. It is the only one in the world and has no other name. It is said to be brewed from Dou Qi and is much more expensive than other wines.
Throwing down two crystal coins, Gu Yao said: "Madam boss, your drinking skills have improved again, please have another drink."
"Thank you for the compliment." The person who spoke was a beautiful woman with long brown hair. At first glance, she didn't look like a mature woman. However, the more she looked at her, the more charming she became. She was the mature type that is particularly lethal to young people.
She is the owner here, the proprietress of White Crane Tower, and the creator of "Hope". Susan, but it is probably just a pseudonym. After arriving in the underground city, many people will abandon their names on the mainland.
Susan raised the wine bottle into the air, and the crystal blue liquid fell neatly into the crystal cup with a wonderful parabola. Then she pushed gently with her wrist, and the full glass of wine moved smoothly to Gu Yao.
Not even a drop was spilled.
A strong person who has reached a certain level can judge a person's strength through subtle details. This can show that Susan is a hidden master.
This is not surprising. In the underground city of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, anyone may have once dominated the land of Cady.
Like most people, Gu Yao was curious about Susan. A beautiful and mature woman who ran the White Crane Tower alone in the underground city.
Of course, Gu Yao won't ask. He knows the rules of the dungeon. It's best not to pay attention to other people's past. Everyone's past here is not too glorious, and they don't want to mention it.
"Junior brother, you are so elegant."
Following the sound of nature, a beautiful woman quietly came to the seat next to Gu Yao and sat down.
"Haha. Senior sister, would you like a cup of hope?"
"No, boss lady, give me a glass of clear moon dew."
Qingyuelu is a kind of fruit wine, which is transparent and colorless, but there is a circle of crescent moon floating in the middle. I don’t know how to get the effect.
Qingyue Dew is another specialty of Baihe Tower. It is also made by Susan. Apart from Baihe Tower, it is not available in the entire underground city and Cady Continent.
Just the appearance is not enough. The taste of green fruit juice is refreshing and brings people a happy and relaxed mood.
"We haven't seen you for a long time, little junior brother?" Christie paused and said, "Well, I think I should call you junior brother from today on. You have matured a lot."
Christie's appearance did not make Gu Yao feel strange, because it was he who arranged to meet at Baihe Tower. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Haha. People will always grow."
Christie's face is still beautiful and dreamy. Even though she is right in front of her, it is difficult to capture her lineup. This is the ever-changing "shadow illusion".
After taking a sip of Qingyue Dew, Christie said: "Junior brother, I heard about you, a C-level thief. Your promotion process is much faster than that of senior sister."
Gu Yao touched his nose: "Maybe I'm lucky. By the way, senior sister, is there any relevant news?"
He is currently using the voice transmission technique of Xiaoyao Wuying to converse, and others cannot hear him.
Christie shook his head: "I'm sorry, junior brother, no."
During the last meeting, Gu Yao asked Christie to help pay attention to the lost continent.
Hearing what she said at this time, Gu Yao didn't feel disappointed, or he had long been used to being disappointed: "It's nothing, senior sister, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Junior brother, do you really have to investigate? Offending the temple is a troublesome matter. The power of those people is indeed beyond bragging."
Gu Yao said calmly: "No one can stop me from looking for Dan Dan."
So what about the temple? He just killed a high priest of the Inquisition and twelve Knights of Light.
Seeing Gu Yao's determination, Christie sighed and said, "Okay, I can provide you with some clues."
Gu Yao perked up after hearing this: "Really? Senior sister, please tell me immediately."
"Don't be impatient, just listen to me first." Christie smiled and said, "First of all, let me state that this clue may not be reliable."
"It doesn't matter, just say it!"
No matter how unreliable the clue is, it is at least a clue, which is better than having no clue at all.
Christie did not whet his appetite this time: "There is a person in this world who may know where the Lost Continent is."
"who?"
"This man's name is Jack of All Trades. That's not his name, but everyone calls him that."
Know-it-all? No matter how knowledgeable a person is, they would not dare to know everything. Even the Thieves Guild, which has the most accurate and centralized information in the continent, probably doesn’t speak that loudly.
Christie quickly added: "Of course, he can't really know everything, but no one dares to completely deny what he said, because he is a fortune teller!"
Gu Yao was startled when he heard this. He had heard of diviners, which was a profession full of mystery.
Fortunetellers have magical powers. They can predict a person's fortune, fortune, fortune, and destiny through media such as tarot cards and crystal balls. As for those top fortunetellers, they can even predict the fate of a country or even an entire continent by observing the movements of the sun, moon, and stars.
destiny.
Diviners possess powers beyond human understanding, but this profession is not just a swindler, they do have their own unique features.
When the Luo Empire unified the entire continent, a top fortune teller named Troy made a shocking prediction. He believed that the empire would perish in less than two hundred years.
You must know that the Luo Empire was in its heyday at that time, with a wise monarch and a sound system. Various measures were also popular and the vitality was extremely strong. Therefore, those remarks were regarded as fallacies, and the fortune teller was also regarded as a propaganda
The criminals of Heresy were hunted by the Imperial Army, but their final whereabouts were unknown.
Later, facts proved the fortune teller's prediction. The Luo Empire soon disintegrated, although no historian has been able to give a reasonable explanation so far.
The predictions of fortune tellers may not be 100% accurate. They can only predict the general direction of an event, but in the process they will also be affected by many internal and external factors, causing them to deviate from the original trajectory.
In any case, no one dares to despise this ancient profession that is said to have existed in ancient times. Many people even go to fortune tellers to predict their own destiny and future, and then take corresponding measures to try to change bad events.
"That person's name is Know-It-All. I heard about it by chance during a certain mission." Christie continued: "Not many people know about him. But it is said that he is a diviner with an eye in the sky!"
Ordinary fortune tellers can only predict a person's fate through tarot cards, crystal balls and other media, but some fortune tellers who have opened their eyes can observe the movements of the sun, moon and stars, and predict the fate of the country, and they are also the most brilliant fortune tellers.
It is possible for a diviner with a heavenly eye to give some information related to the lost continent. Moreover, the diviner does not follow the rules of the temple, and does not pay attention to any taboos. For this reason, Troy is willing to risk his life.
This can be seen in the misfortune predicting the doom of the Luo Empire.
"The know-it-all, where is he?"
"I don't know about this either. Junior brother, you should know that the fortune teller's whereabouts are always erratic. The divine dragon never sees its tail. The more skillful a fortune teller is, the harder it is to find it. However, you should look for his traces.
It will be much easier than directly tracking down the lost continent."
"Thank you, senior sister. You brought me a very useful piece of news!"
In any case, the pursuit of the Lost Continent has finally found another breakthrough. It is better than sitting on the sidelines and waiting as a cadre of the Thieves Guild. The more breakthroughs there are, the greater the hope.
At this time, there was a sudden noise from the street downstairs. Through the window, I saw a crowd of people, but there was an open space among them.
duel?
This kind of thing is not uncommon in underground cities. You must know that underground cities are the cradle of crime, and bloodshed occurs almost every day.
One of the parties involved in the duel was a one-eyed dragon with a bald head, a sinewy face, a fat body, and a body that was thicker than an average person's thighs. He looked like a typical villain.
The other person is a big man. Although he is also very burly, he is still smaller than the one-eyed dragon.
"Fei Biao! Kill him!"
"Use your best bear attack to tear him into pieces!"
"Hurry up, I'm so excited thinking about that bloody scene!"
The good guys in the dungeon don't have much sympathy. They always like to stand on the strong side and watch them abuse the weak, and regard the abuse process as a kind of enjoyment and entertainment.
Fei Biao is the bald one-eyed dragon. He is a gladiator and a notorious strongman in the Kadi continent. He is nicknamed the Butcher. He is good at grappling and has great strength. He likes to grab the enemy with both hands and tear them in two.
Duan, his favorite thing is to feel the hot blood dripping from his head. He is an extremely violent guy and has a great reputation in the underground city.
Fei Biao enjoyed the cheers of the onlookers. He raised his hands like a victorious king in the ring, completely ignoring the big man. In his eyes, the opponent was already a dead man, no, a pile of rotten flesh. It was useless.
How long will it take for him to do it?
The big man seemed relatively silent. Seeing this, Fei Biao took it as his opponent's timidity and became even more proud. He stretched out his hand to challenge the big man.
"You seem to be an outsider? Haha, you will soon realize how cruel the dungeon is, but there is no use regretting it! Come on, I can't wait to see your blood dripping from my bald head.
It’s so pitiful that you are actually trembling. A timid person like you should just huddle in your mother’s chest and drink milk, hahaha!!!”
People who have stayed in the underground city for a long time, affected by the strange power here, can always smell out the outsiders who first arrived here. Fei Biao has been in the underground city for nearly 30 years, so he can easily determine the location of his opponents in the underground city.
The experience is still shallow.
Everyone laughed together with him, and they also saw the big man's body trembling. The more frightened and helpless the weak ones were, the more excited they became.
"Hehe, it's great. The dungeon is such a good place. When I first came here, I found someone who loves fighting as much as I do. Ah, the blood in my whole body is boiling. I can't control it!"
His words made Fei Biao wonder, what do you mean? Is this outsider trembling with excitement?
He simply didn't take himself seriously, Fei Biao's anger immediately emerged from his heart, he was so unhappy.
"Come, let's create a battle together!" The big man raised his hand in the air, and then there was a giant sword in his hand.
It is no exaggeration to describe this sword as huge. It even exceeds the height of a big man and is half as big as Fei Biao's body.
Someone who can wield this giant sword and use it as a weapon must be a person of great strength.
Susan saw this and said: "Fei Biao is going to be in trouble."
Gu Yao asked curiously: "Madam boss, do you know the big man with the giant sword in his hand?"
Susan smiled and said: "Handsome guy, if I tell you his name, you should not be unfamiliar with it, Mad God——Zhan Tian!"
