LOL: The dark goddess covets me!

Chapter 20 Trading in the Shadows
The woman who recognized Josh was wearing a loose tan hooded robe with silver patterns adorning the edges, and her lower body was matched with close-fitting black trousers and short boots.

The pointed hood covered the woman's angular and thin face, but the silver-white curly hair that looked like an "explosive head" hairstyle was particularly eye-catching, adding a touch of humanity to this cold and stern outfit.

At first glance, she looks a bit like Senna, the Sentinel of Light a thousand years later.

In fact, the light sentinels that Josh recognized were all dressed in the same color as the silver and white holy stone, not the tan in front of him.

But the clothes on Fuguang Island represent personal identity and level. Josh has read about the Bright Sentinel of Fuguang Island in some of the classics sent by Margusa.

Looking at the dress of the woman in front of her and the jewelry hanging on her chest, it is obvious that she is the leader of the Sentinels of Light at this stage.

Because of the deep impression, almost instantly, Josh searched her name in his mind-Zhen Dakaya.

"I remember you." Josh said first, "You are the leader of the Sentinels of Light, Zhen Dakaya."

"It's so rare that you still know me." Zendakaya's deep voice sounded surprisingly soft and sweet, "I heard from Archbishop Margusa that you have lost your memory."

There was a frank smile on her face, obviously she knew Josh, but she didn't intend to expose him, but acted very friendly instead.

"I've seen descriptions of Sentinels in books."

Zhen Dakaya was surprised at first, and then complained: "Huh? Hailiya still has records of our sentries? Hey—what are you two boring old things muttering about? Get out of here!"

She yelled at the two scholars who were looking at Josh and Kalista not far away, as if she knew the sentinel's toughness, and they were scared away.

Afterwards, Zendakaya took the place where Kalista was just now, and muttered to himself: "When the Light Blessed Sect was established, the Light Sentinel was clearly one of the important branches, but now it has been reduced to A branch of the Seismic School... Hmph, our status is almost tied to that of the corpse."

Dead man... Thresh?
Josh raised his eyebrows when he heard a word that was similar in pronunciation but had a completely different meaning.

He was going to look for Thresh, but in the books he read a few days ago, there was no description of the job of guarding a secret warehouse with dangerous items stored underground.

Josh originally planned to seek advice from Ryze, but because of Zhendakaya's complaints just now, he decided on a new candidate.

"Oh—sorry! I'm making an old mistake again." Realizing that he had said a lot of nonsense again, Zhendakaya quickly waved his hands, "I shouldn't have complained to you, don't pay attention to what I said."

Her gaze turned to Josh's face, "Let's get to know him again, my name is Zhendakaya, a technician of the Light Sentinel, who studies holy stone weapons, and there are masters of the Earth Movement School, I am not a leader."

"Josh Russell."

"Then I'll call you Josh!"

Afterwards, Zhendakaya blinked his sly eyes, and touched Josh with his elbow, "Hey Josh, the Shuoguang Tower hasn't allowed you to go back to Hailiya yet, right? How dare you come back secretly? "

"Who sneaked around? I'm aboveboard, okay?" Josh argued, "It can only be said that Hailiya's defense force is like this, they don't recognize me at all."

"The perennial stability has made the Blessed Ones lose their awareness of the crisis. The masters hate strangers hanging out in Hailiya, but obviously, there is only one outsider on the entire island now."

Zhen Dakaya was full of curiosity, and opened the chat box: "The council asked us to find the legend about the dark blood. I don't understand. How did you avoid being eroded by the blood magic of the dark blood?"

【I also want to know. ] Lunicia said.

"Maybe it's my talent for magic." Josh smiled. "I heard the servant mention that my junior brother Ritz and I are born rune mages."

Speaking of this, Zhendakaya was even more puzzled, "It's not that Tyrus didn't teach you magic... Uh, bad!"

As if thinking of something suddenly, Zhen Dakaya panicked and got up in a hurry to run in the direction he was going.

"Excuse me, I forgot the time!"

"Hey, wait!"

Josh still wanted to stop Zhendakaya, he hadn't asked about Thresh yet.

However, the woman didn't stop at all, she yelled without turning her head, which attracted the attention of many passers-by: "I'm very sorry! I'm going to be late! If you want to see me, come to the building of the Movement School in five days." !"

Looking at the woman's figure disappearing in the crowd, Lunisia said: [What a weird woman. 】

"A little bit."

……

……

At the same time, the warehouse hall underground in Hylia.

The intricate and maze-like secluded corridors have been built for thousands of years. As early as when Hailiya was built from the ground, the underground secret library already existed.

Because the underground environment is relatively closed, the sunlight on the ground cannot shine, and dryness and stuffy heat are the only hosts here.

Occasionally, there are a few passages close to the sea, and the salty and humid atmosphere can bring mist, but such places are too rare and remote, and even a trace of humid sea breeze can't take care of the underground space that is bigger than Hailiya.

Ryze, in a gray robe, walked alone in the deep and dark underground with a lantern.

The dim yellow light danced in the darkness, and the shadows shining on the stone walls and potholes were indistinct, like invisible ghosts and ghosts.

If there is no lantern, it will be invisible here.

Benefiting from the advantages gained from being a mercenary and thief in Shurima, Ryze, who remained silent, walked carefully through this seemingly endless corridor without making a sound.

But now it was daytime, and the low-level Thresh wardens guarding the warehouse and patrolling their own boundaries were all active.

If they were found and reported to the Shimmering Tower, the lightest sentence waiting for Ryze would be permanent expulsion.

In a claustrophobic environment, time seems to have no meaning.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ryze finally arrived at an empty hall.

"I'm here." He whispered, his deep voice was extremely piercing in this environment where everything seemed to be silent, "Corpse man, where are you?"

Ruiz kept quiet for a moment, lifted the lantern, and looked around with the help of the limited thin light, but within a few meters, the darkness engulfed the light again, and he could only judge the sound by his ears.

However, the person Ryze wants to meet has been wandering here for 15 years.

He knows every corridor, every inch of land, and every defect here, and he can even turn off the lantern and walk freely in the invisible environment.

Ruiz had never seen such a depressing man, and never thought that he would fall into the hands of a "hanging corpse" who had no status at all.

Tch, if I hadn't been careless last night...

Just as this idea came to his mind, a chain dragging sound that made Ryze's hair stand on end suddenly sounded a few steps away behind him.

Ryze turned around abruptly, a haggard, thin, pale and stern face was revealed in his pupils.

In his left hand, he held a lantern specially designed for the Thresh guarding the secret vault, which could gather the firelight and increase the brightness, burning with an almost green light.

He is holding a sharp sickle in his right hand. The thick chain connected to the end is connected to the buckle on the top of the lantern, and a large bunch of keys hang from it. The somewhat nondescript attire makes the man even more indescribably ruthless. temperament.

"I said, don't call me The Hanged Man again." The man seemed to be suppressing the anger in his heart, "My name is Erok Greer, and I'm already the director of Thresh."

"Yes, yes, Superintendent Greer."

Isn't he just a superintendent? What's the air?
The Thresh Supervisor is in charge of the whole Thresh Prison, a height that you will never reach in your lifetime.

Ryze put on a perfunctory mouth and secretly slandered.

Greer ignored Ryze's rudeness, "You're late."

"You let me come in broad daylight, how can I not be late? Do you think it is easy to bypass the guards from the outside, pick the lock on the door leading to the basement from the library hall, and have to avoid other Thresh wardens on the way?"

Greer grinned, "For you, that's true."

Immediately afterwards, he said: "You said that Tyrus has been going out early and returning late to check the classics in the library recently. In order to avoid his suspicion, the best time is when he is not around."

Ryze snorted noncommittally, "So... when will you burn the letter listing my crimes?"

Greer stared at Ruiz sternly, and said coldly: "Didn't we agree that you unlock the lock for me, and I will burn the letter and give you the secret code you want."

"Okay." Ryze took a deep breath, "Lead the way, let's go to the Wanzai Well you mentioned."
