Witt himself didn't know how he was able to go back to his room after dinner and fall asleep. Sure enough, he was still a little heartless in his bones, as Ayatsuji said.
Because I went to bed early, and woke up early the next day, I got up before Witt, put on all the equipment that Ayatsuji gave him at dinner last night, and immediately felt the speed, strength, and energy in my meridians. All-round improvement of strength and other attributes.
Opening the door, he heard footsteps behind him after walking a few steps. Looking back, it was indeed Ayatsuji who went back to the room at the same time as himself yesterday, got up early and went out.
-
As a matter of course, the two sat at the same table and had breakfast. In order not to let Ayatsuji see his nervousness, Witt couldn't help bringing up the topic about her, and asked about the past with the Gold and Silver Association—
"You haven't told me how you lost the bet on fighting skills with Yiyefute before. Tell me, maybe you can learn from it and use the experience in my game today..."
"Inexperience is something you can use." Before Witt's voice fell, Ayatsuji interrupted, "Her method is very simple, that is, she concealed her true level and combat power."
"How can this be done?"
"She doesn't need to do it, as long as I use my psychology to believe it-we usually judge a person's level and combat power by the degree of sophistication of equipment and weapons. When it comes to numerical reference, it’s all about feeling. When Yiefut challenged me, the clothes she was wearing and the weapon she was holding seemed to be in the same level range as mine, and it could even be said that it was worse than my equipment. Even if she offered to go back to the hotel to go back to the city stone to verify, I didn't take it seriously at the time. After all, the location was a bit far from the hotel, and I didn't want to go with her, so I immediately accepted her challenge. The competition is scheduled Ten days later, after making the bet, she disappeared without a trace. When we met again on the day of the agreed match, the level difference between us was already more than ten levels, and the equipment she was wearing at that time could be said to be the best , the difference in strength is huge, even if I try my best, I can only be defeated... "
Ayatsuji narrated with a blank face, and along with his own narration, a memory couldn't help but evoked in his mind—
-
After a fiasco in the battle with Yiyefute, she was forced to take a high usury loan, and was warned that if she failed to repay the interest every month, she would be hunted down and harassed endlessly by the Gold and Silver Society.
She had to fight in the Shadow City all day long, but she couldn't make up even one day's interest even if she tried her best every day. She had no friends at all, and in such a situation, she was alone and helpless. It's all about despair...
Until that day, she walked out of the monster arena dejectedly, with a self-destructive thought in her heart...
Just when she was thinking about whether to find a place to kill herself with one knife, leave her soul in Rashomon forever, and completely give up this role in the Brave Continent, Kuroba appeared in front of her.
Black Feather was dressed in black, with a strange-looking bird face mask on his face, his eyes glowing red, and he asked her slowly: "If I can give you the ability to defeat the Gold and Silver Society, let you Become strong, are you willing to give up everything and follow me?"
"I have nothing now, but this life." She looked at the weird man with anger in her eyes, "If you can make me stronger, strong enough to kill that woman Yiyefute, this life is yours. Just take it."
"Very well, then we've made a deal." Hei Yu said as he took out a purse full of gold coins, "Here is 300 gold, which is enough to pay off the usury on you, and the remaining money You can use it for your own growth and equipment acquisition. If you want to become stronger quickly, come to my Black Feather Arena and follow my instructions, you will find that you are stronger than you imagined."
He accepted Kuroba's purse without hesitation—[Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of. ] She thought so, and followed in the footsteps of the woman in black to the Black Feather Arena for the first time.
-
After listening to Kuroba's suggestion for her next special training, the woman who bought her life handed her a fox mask.
"This mask doesn't suit me, I don't like to laugh." She looked at the fox mask with a strange smile, frowning slightly and muttering.
"I think this mask is very suitable for you, because the function of a mask is to cover your true face. Since you don't like to laugh, then this mask is more suitable for you-because what it hides is the truth, isn't it ? "Hei Yu laughed twice in a weird tone, so persuading.
Now, regardless of reason, Hei Yu had to listen to what Hei Yu said, she sighed, and slowly put the mask on her face.
-
Under Hei Yu's guidance, her ability development can be said to be extremely rapid.
What's even more strange is that the Black Feather Arena has all the functions of a hotel. In addition to providing a rapidly growing arena for fighting skills, it can also provide food and lodging. As a result, her figure disappeared from the city of shadows, and those who had seen her thought she left the city of sadness after repaying the usury. But the fact is that she is still here, elusively completing one after another of the strange missions arranged by Kuroba, which is different from the completely independent missions on the hotel poster wall.
Why this place has these powerful functions, she doesn't understand; she doesn't know where these tasks come from.
In this way, she, who almost never left the Shadow City, finally reached level 100, the stage where she could change jobs.
-
She knew that her job change meant officially becoming what Hei Yu called "one of her own", but the woman in black did not perform this ceremony for a long time. Even if she brought it up, Hei Yu would bypass this topic.
In this way, I don't know how many tasks assigned by Kuroba have been completed, and I don't know how many days have passed, she finally waited for that day——
"Ayatsuji, here is your job change task." Kuroba said, and handed her a new task kraft paper, with a title written on it—[Defeat Yiyefute. ]
"Complete this final trial and defeat your demons, and you will finally become a part of us." Kuroba said, "At that time, I will no longer call you Ayatsuji, and you will have a new member in the organization." I’ve already thought of a name for you, and it’s called—Red Fox.”
-
After receiving the mission, but unable to find Yiefut through underground means, she tried to ambush members of the Sarleon Guild near Shadow City, trying to lure out the target, but failed. Afterwards, he changed his mind and decided to formally show up in the City of Shadows and go to the hotel to find Luo to challenge him head-on, but on the way back to the city, he ran into Witt who was looking for a way into the city.
When she had no money earlier, she had to sell the mount, and she stayed in the Shadow City for the next few days, so she didn't buy another mount. She didn't expect to arouse Witt's curiosity, let alone plan to use herself as a bait to lure out the mount. Ye Fute, however, by a strange coincidence, was suggested by Luo to bet with Witt... Just bet, who is afraid of whom? Just take advantage of this opportunity to make gold and silver lose more than others!
During the days following Hei Yu, she began to feel more and more the power behind Hei Yu, although she still didn't know who they were and what their intentions were...
Anyway, those are not important, and she doesn't care, she only surrenders to being strong, and swears to be loyal to her promise to Kuroba...
