Lord of the Oasis: The finale (1)
Chapter 865: The task thrown in front of you
"Your Highness, put on your coat. It's humid and humid at night." After noticing the quiet and sad atmosphere at the scene, Abel, who came later, bowed to Kant's side and whispered to him. Whisper.
"Well." Kant came back to his senses, turned his head and glanced at Abel, replied softly and nodded.
Abel carefully puts on Kant the sheepskin coat in his hands. Then backed away.
"Bandak, add some more firewood to the fireplace in the room." Kant raised his head and instructed Bandak, "Go to the kitchen downstairs to get some."
"Yes." Bandak nodded. Then he went to the fireplace to check the iron bucket where the firewood was placed, and after finding that there was not much firewood left, he threw all the remaining firewood into the fire. And told Kant: I will go downstairs to get firewood.
"I'll go with you." Seeing that Bandak had reached the entrance, Abel hurriedly said.
Bandak froze for a moment and stood there. And Abel first unlocked the door and walked out after Kant's consent.
"Wait for me." Bandak picked up the bucket and followed him out the door.
After the two left, only Kant and Trubin were left in the room.
The firewood in the main hall is burning more and more vigorously, and the temperature in the room also rises.
Trubin takes off his gloves after sorting out his emotions. He said to Kant: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty made you laugh."
"It's fine." Kant waved his hand and said with an encouraging smile on his face.
"The people at the Inspectorate haven't figured out where Jackie is hiding yet." Trubin's eyes became wet again, and he said, "I can't believe he would do such a thing? Maybe seven years ago, I shouldn't have adopted him."
After listening to Trubin's words, Kant was silent.
In the world he experienced in his last life, not to interfere with the lives of others has become the consensus of all. Humans are inherently insignificant. When receiving the blessings of God, they still want to interfere in the fate of others: it is a very difficult thing.
Before he came to this world, Kant had always held the attitude of "other people's affairs have nothing to do with me". However, with the memories of his previous life, after coming to this world, his values have been loosened a little bit.
Maybe I don't know myself as well as I thought.
"The **** who bullied Jackie have been sent away by me." Trubin said angrily: "Such people must not be allowed to stay in the hotel."
"Yeah." Kant nodded slightly and said, "They deserve such a result."
"Your Highness, we're back." Bundak, who was holding a half barrel of firewood, and Abel, who accompanied him, stood at the entrance and greeted Kant.
"Come in." Kant beckoned and said, "It should be quite cold outside."
"It's a little bit," Bandak responded, rubbing his hands together after placing the iron pass by the fireplace.
"When we went downstairs, we found that many of the residents' rooms were still lit by candlesticks. It is estimated that tonight, no one can sleep much." Abel Hui reported.
"The waiter in the back kitchen told me that the firewood for this month was used up early. He said let's take advantage of the opportunity to stock up a little more. We have to make it through the last two days." Bandak grinned: "Then I will The soldiers who have not slept have been ordered to get firewood from him."
Abel quickly gave Bandak a wink, indicating that the owner of his inn was still here.
"Oh, oh, no." Bandak covered his mouth and quickly explained: "This waiter told me"
"It's my fault that the people below didn't take the initiative to tell me when something happened." Trubin interrupted Bandak's clarification and said.
"You still have to quickly find a suitable candidate to replace the position of Mr. Accountant." Kant said in a rounded tone: "Otherwise, these waiters will encounter some trouble, and I don't know who to turn to."
"I don't usually pay much attention to who is in this store. Fei Lit is always busy with jobs such as hiring. Where can I find this suitable person now?" Trubin said in distress. .
The four people in the main hall fell into thought, and the atmosphere became quiet again.
"Boss, our group has lived in this hotel for a long time." Kant suggested: "Otherwise, we will pay more attention to you in the next days. Let's see if we can. Found someone to enter the pool?"
"Okay," Trubin replied, "I'm sorry, everyone. I won't be in this town for a few days, and I'll be heading out of town the day after tomorrow. I wonder how long you'll be staying in the hotel?"
"We have a mission. After the mission is over, we will leave the island." Abel thought for a while and replied, "I think it will be at least half a month."
"That's great." A rare smile appeared on Trubin's face. Kant and others were willing to stay and give some support to the hotel. From the heart, he was very moved.
"If the boss will be back before then, I think we'll give solid advice," Kant promised.
"Okay." Trubin nodded and said, "Then I'll take my leave first. I'm really sorry for coming to disturb you late at night."
Kant stood up and said: "Boss, you still have to stay in this town for two days, don't you? If there is anything, we still have the opportunity to continue talking."
"Yes." Trubin left the room under the gaze of the three of them after he bowed.
"This is troublesome, we haven't found the person we were looking for, and now we have to pick a clerk for this hotel." After walking back to the main hall, Abel lay down in frustration On the tea table, he said.
"What's the matter? Whether it's suitable for business or not, this strength is still evident in human temperament." Bandak said indifferently.
"You have to choose this candidate carefully. At least give the boss an explanation." After Kant left this sentence, he turned and left.
Kant was changing into a bathrobe and was about to go to bed when Abel went to find him.
After talking with Trubin for a while, Kant is even more sleepy at this time, and it is estimated that he will sleep until noon tomorrow.
"Your Majesty is back in the room." Bandak yawned and said, "I'll talk about picking people tomorrow. I have to go to rest too."
"That's fine." Abel waved to Bandak and said, "Let you go back to rest now, and when I wake you up tomorrow, you'll have to be convinced to wake me up."
"Okay." Bandak didn't hear what Abel said at all, but agreed casually.
Chapter 866: Soldiers who smell incense and perform arts
Abel looked at Bandak's leaving figure, sighed, and began to stay up all night alone.
At noon the next day, Kant woke up from his sleep. When he walked out of the bedroom, he found that the main hall was empty.
"Have the two of them gone for inspection?" Kant muttered silently in his heart. Then he went into the bathroom to wash up.
While Kant was lying in a wooden bucket full of hot water and enjoying his leisure time, footsteps were heard outside the bathroom door.
Before Kant had any idea, Abel's voice came in.
"Your Majesty, we're back from that guild! Michelle brings solid news!"
"When did you go?" Kant jumped out of the water tank and shouted to the door: "Wait until I go out."
"Yes!" Abel was in high spirits.
After putting on the padded jacket, Kant opened the bathroom door and walked out. After the hot air in the room encountered the low-temperature air outside the door, it immediately shrank back, forming a cloud of white gas hovering at the door.
Kant glanced at the two who were sitting at the tea table drinking afternoon tea.
After walking into the tea table, Kant pointed to the pastries on the table and asked suspiciously, "Are these from the waiter?"
"Don't bother them, we brought these to the kitchen by ourselves." Bandak took a sip of his tea and said indifferently.
Seeing the smug look of the two of them, Kant raised his eyebrows, sat down in his seat, and said, "You guys did a good job, you found a candidate so quickly. Even the task was completed. Tell me, how did you do it?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that a soldier in the team was good at smelling incense." After seeing Kant seated, Abel immediately sat up straight and explained: "Let their captain take him with him. Go to the street near the guild to sell art."
"That's how the guild found them?" Kant was amused by Abel's idea and asked.
"Well," Abel couldn't help showing a proud look on his face, and continued: "Anyway, after the name of the soldier smelling incense spread in the street, the members of the guild also noticed the performance. The existence of this group of people. I rushed over immediately and told the soldier that at noon tomorrow, I would invite this soldier to meet the guild boss."
"Well, your idea is so good, it's really a coincidence." Kant applauded.
The guild is secretly running a drug business. Looking for a talent like a soldier, the content of the conversation is inseparable from the secret production chain.
"Just luck," Abel responded embarrassedly.
"By the way, what's that soldier's name?" Kant raised his head and asked.
"Michelle!" Abel responded.
"Can he handle tomorrow's meeting?" It was only now that Bandak interjected.
"This" Abel had a hesitant look on his face.
"Although it's really good to think about smelling incense, I told you at the time: you must choose someone who is suitable for negotiating with strangers." Kant's words also contained a trace of concern.
"The boy" Abel glanced at Bandak and said: "The temperament is relatively lively compared to other elf soldiers. However, after hearing about the sinking incident, the boy's temperament became quieter. A lot. Today I took them and their group to the vicinity of the guild, and I didn’t hear much from him the whole way.”
"Influence of the shipwreck incident" Bandak's expression also became complicated, raised his head and turned his eyes to Kant.
Kant was silent for a while under the gaze of the two. In the end, he said: "No matter what, we still have to think about how to carry out this plan. Abel made a good start, and the rest requires everyone to work together."
"Yes." Abel and Bandak answered in unison.
"After dinner tonight, arrange for Michelle and me to meet." Kant thought for a while and asked.
"Okay," Abel agreed.
Bandak and Abel left the inn after afternoon tea. Today, there were many soldiers in the team to **** the guests of the hotel to the gate of the city, so they also had to rush to the streets to patrol.
Kant walked to the restaurant on the second floor. After passing through the lonely cafeteria, we arrived at the à la carte restaurant.
The chef who cooked his lunch yesterday greeted him, "Good afternoon, sir!"
"Hello!" Kant responded with a smile: "Why are there so few people today?"
"Those people didn't want to stay in the hotel, and after breakfast, they went to hang out on the street." The chef smiled humorously: "But for me, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I usually come here. I don't have many people here."
"I think they just haven't tried it. If they did, they'd be hooked on your cooking." Kant blinked and said, "Just like me and your boss."
"Hmm hahaha." The chef's face was first wrinkled together, as if imagining the scene Kant said, after a while, he laughed happily: "Thank you, what are you going to eat today?"
"It's the same as yesterday." Kant took a seat by the window. After watching the sky for a while, he turned his head and asked the chef who was busy in front of the stove, "Didn't the boss come here today?"
"The boss went out early, but I prepared his breakfast." The chef raised his head and confidently said to Kant: "Shrimp vegetable rolls and peanut puree."
"Hehe," Kant laughed, "the boss is really working hard. He needs to go out to work every day."
"The boss's daily routine is indeed quite irregular, after all, he is the one who cares about this hotel." The chef replied while cutting the cherry tomatoes in half, "However, fortunately, his body It's not bad. As long as you adjust your work and rest time well, you will be no different from other people of the same age."
"Actually, the hotel was operating very well before we arrived." Kant said softly, "Why doesn't the boss give himself more time to rest."
"Haha." The chef laughed softly and said: "Sir, look at the street in front of the store, how many people will pass by? The boss came to the island ten years ago and opened the store in This kind of place. His heart is not in running this shop at all."
"You can see it quite clearly." Kant raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you interested in talking about more details?"
The chef raised his head with a smile, looked at Kant, shook his head, put the index finger of his left hand on his lips, and said, "People like us can't talk about this kind of thing." /
Chapter 867: Clues left by the chef
"Haha." Kant looked away and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. It's just that I think the people in your town, one or two, are really unfathomable."
"It doesn't matter at the moment." The chef put down Pao Ding and defended: "Just like me, in front of you, I am an ordinary cook. Isn't my identity a cook?"
"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Kant just thought that the chef's words were very funny, and if he was arguing with him, he would definitely be surrounded by him, so he waved his hand and continued to watch the scenery outside the window.
The chef chuckled for a while, then consciously silenced.
After more than ten minutes, the delicious and delicious lunch was served on the table. When Kant was arranging the napkins, he found that the chef brought another cup of peanut pulp.
"I talked too much just now," the chef apologized while standing at the table with a smile: "I apologized to you for this cup of peanut pulp. I hope you can forget the villain's fault."
"No, no." Kant quickly declined: "I had a good chat just now. Why are you doing this?"
After hearing the words, the chef's face became serious and he said, "This kind of peanut pulp is our boss's favorite, and it's also my favorite. Please accept it."
Kant raised his head and looked at the chef for a while, and finally nodded in compromise: "Well, let me try what it tastes like."
"Thank you very much." The chef sighed in relief and left the table after saluting.
After watching the chef leave, Kant picked up his knife and fork and began to enjoy his first meal of the day. When eating, people are always in a good mood. In the space where he stopped halfway, Kant caught a glimpse of the peanut pulp placed in the corner of the dinner plate.
With the silver cups, this simple drink becomes mysterious and luxurious.
"What time is this drinking?" Kant asked softly, looking towards the open stove. It turned out that there was no one there, and the cook who was cooking had left.
Kant raised his eyebrows in surprise. He couldn't help holding the handle of the cup with his right hand. He brought the peanut pulp presented by the chef to him, put it on his lips, and took a sip: the taste is really mellow and fragrant, and the peanut The particles are ground finely.
Kant drank the whole cup of peanut pulp in one breath, and when he put the empty cup back in place, a crisp sound reached Kant's ear.
A key was placed on the coaster that was presented with the cups.
Kant's eyes immediately became alert: this key must have been left by the chef, but why did he invite himself to meet him so secretly?
"This kind of peanut pulp is our boss's favorite, and it's also my favorite. Please accept it." What the chef said not long ago was replayed in Kant's mind.
"Is it about the innkeeper?" Kant took a deep breath and silently put the key into his sleeve. After confirming that no one was around, he hurriedly left the restaurant.
After walking out of the restaurant, Kant stood at the head of the stairs and hesitated for a while, but chose to go back to his room first to sort out what happened just now.
The time is now around 3:30 in the afternoon. After returning to the room, Kant closed the curtains in the main hall, sat down at the tea table, took out the key in his pocket, and studied it carefully.
The key is made of copper and iron and is now rusted. Going to the restaurant for lunch today is unpredictable, and Kant has never seen the chef leave the stove during the period from placing the order to waiting for the dishes to be served. The chef carries this key with him, and in the humid environment of the kitchen, it is really easy to rust.
The three numbers '503' were engraved on the key.
But this hotel doesn't have a fifth floor. Where does '503' refer to?
Kant carefully recalled in his mind what the chef had said before. During the conversation, he did not leave any information about the time of the meeting.
Kant, who can't find any clues in "this room", is going to ask for the answer himself.
At this time, a knock on the door came from outside the door, and Kant was so frightened that his breath stopped because of the sudden sound. Alertly responds: "Who?"
"Your Majesty Kant, I'm Mollie." A thin voice came in through the crack of the door.
"Moliere?" Kant thought about it for a while, before he remembered that the owner of this name was the dwarf who had choked with him in the lobby yesterday, and got up and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The group of people who attacked the hotel yesterday, I don't know what happened, were released today." The dwarf explained loudly.
"Wait, you come in and talk." After hearing this, Kant quickened his pace, walked to the entrance, opened the door of the guest room, and greeted the dwarf in front of him.
"Thank you." The dwarf immediately walked into the guest room, took a step before Kant and sat down at the tea table, lifted the teapot, and drank heavily. After breathing down, he wiped his mouth, and continued to Kant, who was sitting opposite him: "That group of people is too presumptuous. After being released by acquaintances in the supervision station, they immediately walked to the Bicolin Avenue. The pub is cool. It happened to meet the soldiers who were escorting the residents out of the city, and the two groups got into a fight."
"What happened? Who did it first?" Kant said with a frown.
"Uh, this orc man's words are too harsh, and he even commented on the families of the Calradian soldiers. So one of us couldn't help but move his hands." The dwarf observed Kant face, while explaining.
"Where are they now?" Kant asked with a long breath.
"I was taken to the monitoring station by the Acropolis soldiers on the street." The dwarf said: "That's why I came to find you, Your Highness. You have to hurry over there."
"You have been tricked. I can't take this matter personally, or else I'll be caught in the other's trap." Kant calmed down and said, "Do Bandak and the others know about this?"
"Well, after Lord Bandak and Abel learned the news, they are rushing to the monitoring station." After listening to Kant's inference, the dwarf was stunned, and responded: "Your Highness, you won't go there in person. If so, it may not be fair."
Kant glanced at him and said slowly: "I can't be distracted by their tricks anymore, that orc man is the cannon fodder of the dark side organization. Now go and clean them up, like you want to Chopping down trees, but just sweeping the leaves under them. I have more important things to do now.”
"So it is." The dwarf nodded timidly, frightened by the aura emanating from Kant's body. After a while, he backed out.
Chapter 868: Disputes in front of the mansion
After the dwarf left, Kant sat quietly for a while before walking to the lobby of the inn. I found the guy who was busy in the back kitchen and asked, "Do you know the chef in charge of cooking in the restaurant on the second floor, where is he now?"
"The chef is not resting at the hotel. Your lord, you didn't find him in the restaurant, so you probably just went back to your home." The guy was stunned and replied.
"When will he come again?" Kant pressed.
"This cook was invited by our boss who never knew where he wanted to come. People come and leave whenever they want. We can't figure it out either," the guy introduced.
"Okay, thank you." Kant came out of the back kitchen with a slight disappointment. After sitting in the cafeteria in the lobby for a while, I finally decided to find out the whereabouts of room '503' in this hotel during the time I didn't see the chef.
On the other side, Bandak and Abel, who rushed to the gate of the inspection station, happened to meet a group of orc men with bruised noses and bruised faces.
The seven or eight nomads walked up to the two of them voluntarily, and the orc man at the head frowned and said, "Why are you? Where is the one who is in the lead?"
"You have caused such a small storm, and you can't reach the side of His Highness's shoes." Abel clenched his fists and said, "Go back to your cell and squat!"
"It's up to you to help your group of brothers come out? I'm afraid it's not enough." The orc man shook his head and continued.
"Where are they now?" Bandak asked.
"I don't know, after all, we have only been in the temporary detention center here." The orc man smiled at the people around him, and sneered: "What kind of scenery is this cell, we really haven't seen it before."
"I told you to stay out of the way!" Abel kicked the orc man's waist horizontally, causing him to retreat a few meters away.
"Abel, let's go!" Bandak's forehead was already bursting with blue veins, and after enduring and enduring, he said to Abel.
Looking at the two who left, the rest of the homeless people crowded around the orc man and said indignantly: "These two people really need to be cleaned up."
"Our mission is complete, let's go to the bar." The orc man put away his mocking face and said indifferently: "The more angry these two are, the faster we will reach our goal. . This little thing is nothing to worry about."
The orc man left the inspection station with the help of his younger brother.
Now that Abel and Bandak have been overwhelmed by anger, they walked to the front of the inspection station and asked: "We are soldiers and officers of Calradia, and our people were sent here by the Acropolis army before. . We're here to pick them up."
"You" the inspectorate staff in charge of reception noticed the anger in the eyes of the two, and said timidly: "Please wait a moment, I will go to Captain Vermont. He led the team to send them here."
"Okay," Abel replied, "We'll wait for him here."
The clerk quickly spread his legs and ran to a public office in the corridor.
Five minutes later, Bandak and Abel stood motionless in front of the front desk, and passers-by began to look at them.
"This man is a good man, he might not be a newly transferred employee from this establishment." The businessman who often walked around the surveillance station commented in a low voice.
"It seems to be a human race and an elves, judging from the clothes of these two people. They should be outsiders." Another person in the crowd said: "What are they doing here?"
"I just received the news that today on the road leading to the city gate, Baoen's group and a group of Terran soldiers fought." A passer-by said to his side after hearing the discussion of the people around him. 's partner said.
"Bauen?" His companion was surprised: "Then these two people are not here to redeem people, right? Anyone who opposes Baoen will have no good end."
"People from outside the island want to poach people from the supervision station, I guess it's unbelievable."
Bandak and Abel silently listened to the comments of the people around them, and snorted coldly in their hearts: It's not enough if we don't take this person away today.
At this time, the waiter who had just left came over with a half-orc man in uniform. Introduced to Bandak and Abel: "This is Captain Vermont who is in charge of this matter. He is a first-level officer in the institute."
"Hello." Fremont stretched out his hand to greet Bundak and Abel.
"Hello," Bandak and Abel responded politely.
Fumund glanced at the onlookers, smiled and suggested to Bandak and Abel: "There are many people here, let's go to the public affairs hall to discuss in detail."
"Okay," Bandak agreed.
Pretending to pass by inadvertently, the passers-by who were eavesdropping on the side felt bored and took the initiative to disperse.
Fumund led the two to a small official hall on the first floor. The layout of the room was roughly the same as the one where Abel met the dwarfs and his party last time, but the space was much smaller.
After signaling the two to take their seats on the leather chairs, Fremont folded his hands on the table and said to Bandak and Abel, "You came here this time for what happened this morning. Right?"
"Yes." Bandak nodded.
"May I ask what punishment the inspection station gave to our soldiers?" Abel asked.
"Three months in prison. After all, the impact of this incident is indeed quite large." Fremont lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "The decision is made by the judge. In the supervision center, the judge's power is far more than All of us. Therefore, even if you come in person today, it is estimated that it is impossible to take people away."
"Three months? Just for a group fight?" Bandak said angrily: "What about that group? They were just released today, and they deliberately found our people to take revenge. Why should they be held responsible? Get out of here without worry?"
"This" Fremont's face showed an embarrassed expression, explaining: "This group of people was found not guilty in yesterday's case. So the judge just paid attention to them in this dispute. That's all."
"Not guilty?" Abel's eyes widened, and he said, "What about Felit's death, and what about the injuries suffered by the residents? How were they found innocent?"
"Isn't the person who killed Felit a waiter? Those residents didn't come forward to testify, so the attack can't be counted as an attack," Fremont explained slowly.
"Fart!" Bandak pushed the table away and roared at the officer in front of him, "I think your oversight station is to clear the name of those bastards. The homeless people on your island believe this, we don't! You have to hand over people today!"
Chapter 869: Kant who appeared unexpectedly
Fumund frowned, waved his hand and said, "Since this is the case, I have nothing to say to the two adults. But I still want to warn you: Since you are here on this island, you have to deal with it. Just know the rules on this island."
After saying this, Fremont walked to the door and unlocked it. Turning around to Bandak and Abel, he continued: "The two adults, please go back first. Go and ask your majesty if he will agree with your statement."
"Where's the cell!" Bandak asked aggressively as he trotted over to Fremont.
Fumeng looked at the human race soldiers in front of him, his eyes narrowed dangerously into a line, and slowly said: "You want to rob prison?"
"We will not let our soldiers suffer this grievance in vain." Abel walked to Bandak and called to him, "Bandak, let's go back to the hotel."
"Abel!" Bandak shouted in confusion.
"I'm leaving." Abel lifted his legs and left the meeting room after leaving a light sentence.
Bandak gave Fumund a dissatisfied look and followed Abel out.
The two walked straight to the door of the inspection station. At this time, Abel stopped, turned to Abel and said, "You were too impulsive just now, you shouldn't have said that to the officers in the station."
"Didn't we both come here to bring the soldiers back?" Bandak frowned. "The officer didn't take us seriously at all."
"I also think his attitude towards us is very strange." Abel shook his head and said, "Including when I met the group of orc men at the door before, their behavior was also very strange. Let's go back first. Go to the hotel and tell His Royal Highness Kant what happened here.”
"Okay." Bandak glanced back at the signboard of the Inspection Station, and silently spurned it in his heart. Then Abel left.
The location of the monitoring station is not far from the hotel's address. After about ten minutes' journey, Abel and Bandak rushed back to the hotel.
After hurrying up to the second floor, after knocking on the door, I found that Kant was not in the room at this time.
"Tindy, where's Your Majesty?" Bandak asked when he stopped a passing waiter in the corridor.
"I saw His Majesty Kant staying in the lobby on the first floor just now." The waiter, called Tindy, stretched his neck and glanced downstairs, and responded, "I'll go and ask others for you."
"Okay, please." Abel nodded.
The two walked to the third floor of the hotel after Tindy retired, searching for Kant's figure.
This entire floor is leased to Calradia soldiers by the boss. However, Calradia's soldiers were not staying in the guest room at this time, but were on a patrol mission on the street.
After a search to no avail, Abel and Bandak meet at the head of the stairs.
Looking at the stairs leading to the fourth floor, Bandak glanced at Abel suspiciously, and said hesitantly, "Should we go to the fourth floor to see."
"The fourth floor doesn't seem to be open to the public." Abel recalled that the night when he searched for clues, the waiter at the inn would not let them go to the fourth floor. He opened his mouth and said, "His Royal Highness Kant shouldn't rush into such a place. Let's go ask Tingdy and see if he has any news."
"Okay," Kant agreed.
Just as the two were about to leave this floor, Kant sneezed and walked down the stairs of the fourth floor.
After seeing the two of them, he said hello, "Bandak, and Abel. Why are you here?"
"Your Majesty!" Abel exclaimed in surprise. "Why are you here? We're looking for you. What are you doing up there?"
"It's time-consuming to talk about." Kant said, "Let's go back to the guest room first. The fourth floor is closed, and no outsiders are allowed in and out. If the waiter at the hotel finds out that I've been there for a while, that's fine. It's going to be troublesome."
Bandak stepped forward to help Kant pat the dust on his coat, frowned and said, "How long has it been since no one has been to the upper floor? The dust on your body, Your Highness, is really thick enough. ."
"You really can't stay in that place." Kant took out his handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, and coughed lightly for a while.
"In this case, let's go back quickly." Abel glanced at Kant worriedly, and said, "We also have an urgent matter that needs to be reported to His Majesty Kant."
"Yeah." Kant nodded in agreement.
The three walked back to the guest room side by side and sat down at the tea table in the main hall. Abel immediately poured a cup of tea for Kant and exhorted: "Your Highness, this tea is for clearing your lungs. You should drink a few sips first."
"Well, then I'll listen to you while drinking tea." Kant nodded, held the teacup in my hand, and said, "Have you been to the supervision station? How is the situation over there? "
"The officer who received us told us that in a case decided by a judge, the decision cannot be changed. Soldiers will be in prison for three months," Bandak responded.
"Well, have you met the soldiers?" Kant asked after taking a sip of tea.
"No, the officer didn't seem to want us to meet the soldiers." Abel sighed and said, "Bandak and I were both angry at the time, and now that I think about it, maybe the person he wants to meet is not the one he wants to meet. We, but you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, now it's up to you to come forward in person, we can" Bandak looked at Kant and said seriously.
"I can't come forward. The group of people who designed the attack is just for me to ask Gilbert or the leader of the dwarf clan. They will definitely interfere with it again, then our relationship with the goblin clan and the dwarf clan It will be speculated. It is not good for those who help us." Kant responded calmly.
"Then what should we do now?" Bandak asked anxiously: "There is still no news about the soldiers sent by Calradia. With only a few dozen of us, we want to rescue the bundle from the inspection post. The soldiers inside are still too reluctant."
"If this happened yesterday, maybe we could only accept our fate. But now, we can directly bypass the barrier of the supervision station and directly find out who is hiding behind the scenes and interfering with us." Kant's mouth twitched. With a confident smile, he promised the two beside him.
"Your Highness, did you meet a member of the Dark Side Organization today?" Abel asked suspiciously.
"Encountered? It doesn't count." Conder paused, and repeated to Bandak and Abel what happened at the restaurant at noon today. Then he said, "Finally, I held the key, but I couldn't find the chef himself, so I started looking in the hotel."
Chapter 870: Thick smoke to hide people's eyes
"Is that room on the fourth floor?" Bandak asked nervously.
"Well," Kant nodded and said, "I heard that the original inn was originally a five-story hotel, but after the racial war in the city, the various floors of the inn were damaged at different levels. The fourth floor was the most damaged, so the gnome craftsman who was responsible for the restoration planned to rebuild the fourth and fifth floors, but the proposal was rejected by the innkeeper, saying that he did not want the inn to be too prominent on the whole street. . Just asking: the fourth floor and the fifth floor will be renovated and merged into one floor. Therefore, some rooms on the fourth floor are still hung with the house number of the fifth floor."
"I see." Abel took a deep breath and sighed, "I didn't expect it to be because of the war."
"Then why is the room on the fourth floor not open to the public?" Bandak asked suspiciously.
"I also asked the waiter this question, but he also said: He doesn't know either." Kant shook his head and said.
"In this case, the truth about this matter should be the privacy of this hotel." Abel commented.
"But that waiter doesn't seem to be pretending." Kant recalled the tone and expression of the waiter in the lobby when he answered him for a while.
"Leave this alone." Bandak waved his hand and said, "What did you find in that room, Your Highness?"
"The innkeeper is also a member of the Dark Side Organization. The desk in that room is filled with all the records of our trips after we landed at the beach. There are many folders in the bookcase that we haven't seen before. Member information of the dark side organization. I found Pique and Shadow in it." Kant explained in a deep voice.
"How is that possible?" After hearing Kant's statement, Abel's heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he blurted out: "Isn't the innkeeper framed by someone?"
"When I was dining with the innkeeper before, I found out that his dominant hand is left-handed. That means he is left-handed." Kant responded: "The entire inn, including the cashier, cook, waiter, etc. He is the only one left-handed, and judging from the arrangement of the room, it is indeed for the convenience of left-handed people."
"I don't think I can draw a conclusion right away." Bandak said hesitantly after hearing Kant's words: "Let's continue to check and compare."
"You're right." Kant nodded and said, "But now I still want to testify with the innkeeper on the spot. Quick battle."
"Okay." Bandak and Abel said in unison.
Kant pulled out a data sheet from inside his clothes with a portrait of Pique.
"The innkeeper will leave the town tomorrow, we must find him before that." Kant said with determination.
"Are we going to start a search in the town ourselves, or let the inn waiter inform him?" Bandak asked suspiciously.
"You don't have to worry about this," Kant got up and walked to the entrance, and after hearing the sound of footsteps and discussions outside the door, he confidently said, "We just need to wait quietly at the entrance of the stairs on this floor. ."
"It's on fire! It's on fire!" The waiter, who was busy cleaning the street, threw the broom to the ground after seeing the smoke coming out of the window on the fourth floor, rushed into the store, and shouted: "The fourth floor It's on fire!"
The waiter who was busy in the lobby hurried to the outside of the store, watching the fire upstairs.
"What should I do!" The waiters anxiously asked the waiter standing at the forefront.
The waiter who is being watched by everyone is Nite, who was temporarily designated as the captain of the waiter.
Nit frowned tightly. His position as interim captain was determined internally by the staff. And the performance of this period of time in office is very important to whether he can be promoted to the accountant.
Nit couldn't help but panic when this incident happened suddenly. He greeted a young waiter next to him: "Quick! Go and inform the boss! You and a few of you, go and put out the fire with me."
"Yes!" The waiter who was called hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Returned to the inn with Nit, and rushed up the spiral staircase with brooms and the like.
"Where are you going?" Bandak, who suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs, startled them.
"Lord Bandadak, the fourth floor is on fire. I will bring someone up to put it out." Nate replied nervously.
"It's on fire? The fourth floor is the boss's private domain. I'm afraid it's not good for you to rush in like this." Bandak worried for them.
"Indeed, we haven't been on it before. However, now that the situation is critical, we can only take offense." Nate replied.
"Okay, do you need my help?" Bandak nodded and continued to ask.
"No, no." Nate quickly waved his hand and said, "The fire is not too serious, just the few of us."
"Well, that's fine. I won't disturb you." After confirming that Kant downstairs made a 'OK' gesture to him, Bandak silently let Nate and the others go.
After watching the group leave, Bandak walked down the stairs, took a seat at the tea table where Kant and Abel were, and asked, "The waiter who delivered the letter has really left?"
"Yeah." Abel nodded, it was up to him to confirm this.
"Your Highness, you said that you set a fire on the fourth floor, so you won't burn all the documents." Bandak asked worriedly.
"No." Kant waved his hand and said, "I just put that part of our material in the brazier and burned it."
"That's good," Bandak said calmly. "After all, we don't know who the owner of this room is yet."
"Hmm." Abel nodded approvingly.
After a while, Nate and his party walked downstairs noisily carrying the brazier.
"Boom!" With a loud sound, the blackened brazier was thrown onto the floor tiles in the lobby. Nate looked around and said angrily, "Who is it?! Who did the prank? What's not to like? You can tell me directly what it means to get this out.”
He led people upstairs, and when he walked carefully into the room, he found a smoking brazier placed by the window.
Nit was completely **** off, in his eyes: at this time, whoever did this was to target him.
"There is a way to do it, but why not admit it? Stand up and let's fight." Nate yelled.
Bandak sighed softly, while Kant and Abel completely ignored Nate's yelling.
Chapter 871: The exchange of hostages
Seeing that there was no response for a long time, Nit exhaled a long breath, picked up the brazier on the ground and left the lobby.
Kant put down the teacup and said, "It's really too much to make such a fuss."
The three sat near the edge of the door, and even had dinner in the lobby in order to meet Trubin for the first time.
Until about seven in the evening, the owner of the hotel hurriedly walked into the hotel, found Nite who was busy in front of the counter, and asked, "How's it going? The waiter who notified me didn't say anything clearly and caught fire. Which is the room?"
"Room 502." Nit responded nervously: "The fire is out, and it turns out that it was someone's prank. Sorry, boss. Because of this small matter, I made you take time to come back."
"Prank?" Trubin's face became very ugly, and he asked, "Have you checked the door lock? How did that person get in?"
"The door lock is in good condition," Nate replied while recalling: "The man should have gone in through the window."
"Are you sure?" Trubin stared at Nite, confirming carefully.
Kant, who was sitting at the door, felt that now was the best time to turn Trubin's attention to himself, and immediately said, "Boss Trubin!"
"Your Majesty Kant." Trubin was stunned for a moment. After turning around to see Kant, his impatient expression immediately became respectful. Glancing at the dining table in front of the three of them, he responded with a smile, "How did the adults remember to dine in the lobby today?"
"There are too few people in the restaurant, the lobby is more lively." Kant responded lightly.
"That's right." Trubin nodded and said, "I didn't expect to see a few of you before going out. We are really destined."
"Perhaps." Kant responded with a slightly meaningful response: "However, I have always believed that man-made power is more reliable."
Trubin raised his head slightly, met Kant's line of sight, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "It sounds like your Majesty Kant has something to say to me?"
"Well, please give me a treat, boss. Go and sit at our table for a while." Kant nodded and said, "We have some undecided matters, and we need to ask you to confirm with the boss."
Trubin's gaze froze. Abel and Bandak quickly approached after noticing the change in the aura between the two. Protected on both sides of Kant.
Trubin eased his face and said apologetically to Kant: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Tonight, I have a party in the West End. I'm afraid I don't have time to chat with you."
After saying this, Trubin turned to Nate and said, "Let the groom prepare immediately."
"Yes." Nate had long noticed the strange atmosphere between the innkeeper and Kant, and left the scene with amnesty after hearing the order. Went to the courtyard.
"I'm afraid it's not good for you to leave in such a hurry, boss?" Abel said with a look of embarrassment.
"The shop has been dealt with." Trubin said sternly: "I'm leaving now."
"Finished? Haven't you found the culprit of the prank yet?" Bandak asked indifferently.
"You" Trubin clenched his fists and said, "You broke into our room?"
"No, no. Absolutely not." Kant waved his hand quickly, took out the page of information in his pocket, and said, "It's just that this page floated in from our room window. I want to confirm with you, boss. , is this something from that room?"
Trubin subconsciously raised his hand to **** the page from Kant's hand, and the material with Pique's portrait was pulled in half. Trubin stared blankly at the half sheet in his hand. Then he looked up at Kant and roared, "You bastard!"
Bandak and Abel immediately stopped Trubin, who swooped in front of Kant, and held him to his knees on the floor.
"Are you really a member of the Dark Side Organization?" Kant said with a deep breath. Although he had predicted this result before, it was still unbelievable in his heart at this moment.
"So what?" Trubin said dismissively.
"What about the waiters at this inn? Are they also from the dark side?" Kant pressed.
"No. They don't know anything about the forces in town." Trubin lowered his head and said, "You found out who I am, so what? Those kids won't believe you. You can't take them away. me."
"Are you too confident in the power you're on?" Bandak leaned over to Trubin's side and asked, "Now the dark side is the public enemy in the hearts of all homeless people. As long as we hand you over to the oversight station. The people behind you can't save you."
"What the **** are you trying to do?" Trubin said angrily: "Nit! Nite!!"
"The waiters have all gone to the second floor for dinner. Nate is probably helping to feed the horses in the backyard now. Stop screaming." Kant said indifferently: "The orc men can come back from the inspection station. Do you also have a kick?"
"Yeah." Trubin nodded.
"Okay, let the people above you let go of our people. We'll let you go." Kant made a condition.
"It turns out that you are for this." Trubin snorted coldly: "Okay, I promise you."
Kant waved his hand, motioning Abel and Bendak to let go of Trubin. After Trubin got up, he raised his head and said to him: "Contact the other members, it should be very easy for you. Is it easy?"
"You don't have to worry about that," Trubin said. "I don't actually need to be involved. You stay in peace for a few days. Your brothers will be released with at most corporal punishment."
"Then we'll add another condition. The soldiers who were put back must not suffer any injuries, otherwise your life is still in our hands." Bandak threatened viciously after hearing this.
"Hehe, your request is a bit beyond my ability." Trubin shook his head indifferently and replied.
"This is one of the requirements, you'd better write it down." Abel on the side said leisurely.
"Okay." Trubin pondered for a while, then agreed: "But this matter requires me to personally go to the inspection station, you can't restrict my personal freedom."
"Well, as long as Bandak goes with you," Kant said to Trubin.
"He?" Trubin questioned: "What are you kidding? This person is on the blacklist in the organization. The person above, the first person you want to get rid of is you, the second person It's him. You want me to take him?"
Chapter 872: Captain to the mansion
"Of course not." Trubin immediately vetoed.
"What if Bandak was the surrenderer?" Kant asked.
Trubin frowned, glanced at Bandak, turned his head and responded, "You guys are really brave."
"Is it beyond your imagination?" When Kant smiled, his eyes curved into crescents. The tone was icy cold.
"What if this kid dies at the hands of the organization?" Trubin asked hesitantly.
Abel put his hand on Trubin's shoulder and warned: "The soldiers of Calradia are not as vulnerable as you think, and everyone has their own lives. Just don't get involved."
"Hehe." Trubin shook his head and said, "You're so worried about him?"
"Stop talking nonsense, your carriage is coming." Kant stopped talking immediately after hearing the sound of horses' hooves by the door, and warned Bandak: "Be careful on the road."
"Yes." Bandak nodded.
The three of them came up with an impromptu idea to accompany Trubin to the overseer during dinner. At that time, everyone was hesitating whether to send Bandak or Abel, and could not make a decision.
Until Bandak volunteered to mention: If the members of the dark organization confirmed the news to Trubin and believed that Bandak was a mutineer, it was very likely that Pique, who was staying in the city, would be called together.
After all, they still couldn't confirm the purpose of Bandak's arrival here until the person who cast Gu arrived.
Kant and others can set up an ambush near the monitoring station at this time. Stop Pique who came late at night. Show him the way to remove the poison.
“Boss, your car is ready.” Nate stepped over the threshold, respectfully reporting to Trubin.
"Okay," Trubin agreed. Then he led Bandak to the door. boarded the carriage.
"Lord Bandak is this" Nate asked strangely, looking at the back of the two side by side.
"It's very late now, and it's not very peaceful near the hotel recently." Kant explained: "I sent Bandak to **** the boss."
"I didn't expect Lord Kant to be so concerned about the boss's business," Nate responded gratefully. "None of us could have thought of that."
"It's nothing, it's just that the current situation is rather special." Kant said: "With your boss's force, one or two little thieves can still be completely dealt with. It's just that it's more reassuring when you bring in Bendak. "
"Yes, yes." Nate replied: "Will the two adults continue to eat? I want the kitchen to prepare some more good dishes."
"No, no." Abel said: "We just have something to do in our hands, so we don't need to worry about the guys in the back kitchen."
"Okay then." Nit nodded and replied, "Are you two going out?"
"Well, we have to go get the medicine for Bandak." Kant explained: "The shop two blocks away, go and come back."
"I see. It's just that I don't know if the pharmacy is still open now, or should I send my buddies to ask the two of you first?" Nate thought for a while and suggested.
"No, let's just take a walk after dinner to eat and drink." Abel shook his head gently and responded, "After all, His Majesty Kant also said he wanted to go out for a walk."
"Yes." Kant nodded.
"Then don't disturb Yaxing of the two of you." Nate didn't say anything more after that, and immediately bowed and left.
After Kant and Abel walked out of the door of the hotel, they parted ways at the entrance of the street. One rushed to inform the soldiers who were patrolling the street, and the other rushed to the supervision station.
When Abel walked to the gate of the inspection station, he was still silently worried about whether Kant could call the soldiers under him in time. Although the location of the inspection was planned by Kant, he had no idea about the whereabouts of the soldiers. In terms of sensitivity, Kant is relatively slow.
And they acted so separately for one reason: Abel's Disguise.
Abel's Disguise is not an orthodox version of Disguise at all, the traditional Disguise always adds or subtracts something to a person's face. And Abel's disguise technique was developed by himself. The main method is to change the details of a person's face by controlling the circulatory system in the body. It can change a person's temperament in a short period of time.
This method requires that the person being cast is also a water mage.
And Kant, let alone the water-type mage, even the name of the mage is not close to him.
So in today's task distribution, such a situation has formed.
Before walking through the door, Abel was still a strong soldier in his thirties. After stepping on the threshold, he has become a forty-year-old politician with a tired face. It exudes the same temperament as the people who enter and exit the hall.
"Everything is going well," Abel said triumphantly.
Abel quickly calmed down when he saw a waiter approaching him. Blend in with your surroundings.
"You are" The waiter looked at Abel's face, tried to remember, and asked after making up his mind, "Captain Bernard?"
"Huh?" Abel and the messenger met eyes, with a shrewd light flashing in his eyes, and said, "Yes, it's me."
"Ah, Captain Bernard! You haven't been here for a long time! What wind brought you here." The waiter was overjoyed and said, "Miss Fanny has been running to the place recently. I thought you Have you handed over all the positions to her?"
"Fanny she" Abel paused and said, "How is it?"
"Miss Fanny?" The waiter did not expect that the super officer would come to ask him the opinion of such an obscure waiter~IndoMTL.com~ In shock, she responded with a full smile: "Miss Fanny is very good to us. The attitude of the front desk staff is very good."
"Hmm." Abel nodded without making any extra comments.
Looking at the eagerness of this waiter's post, I guess I was mistaken by him for some big man with real power. Now that things have gotten to this point, Abel has to put on the air of some big man.
"Lord Bernard," the waiter said, "Is there anything wrong with you coming here this time?"
Abel gave him a light glance and remained silent.
"I'm sorry, my lord. I've said too much, please don't blame me." The waiter was stunned for a while, then hurriedly explained: "I just wanted to ask, is there anything I can do to help?"
"Where's the old guys? I want to meet them." Abel asked in a low voice.
"Are you asking Judge Ethan and the others?" the waiter wondered.
