Chapter 88: The Informer
Dodo!
The sound of knocking on the windowpane woke Jacques, who was lying in bed, and when the heavy iron double windows were opened, Louis X, with his tail feathers, flew into the house and ran to the table to peck at the grapes in the fruit bowl.
Jacques quickly closed the window so that the heating in the room did not run through the window, then went to the table and removed the metal ring from Louis X's ankle, opened it and took out the letterhead.
It was Fabian who sent the news from the town of Carlange, and Louis X flew all night to reach Port Mousse.
After a week of Fabian's inquiry, Viscount Ginoa had sent someone to the Misty Forest to look for Lucien and them, but due to the heavy snow in the mountains, the news that had just been reported was that nothing had been found yet.
Jacques knew that the riverside camp could be quite conspicuous, and if you looked along the edge of the forest, you could find it in a few days. But if the patrol goes deep above the snow line to look for the missing person, based on the experience of previous years, it will find nothing.
Putting this matter aside, Jacques wrote a reply to Fabian, telling him how he had been beaten during the week, how he had been beaten, how he had not had enough to eat, and how he had learned to speak......
This week, Jacques and Lily learned aristocratic manners and ways of speaking every day, and Jacques was welcome to learn etiquette, but the most direct consequence of eating elegantly was not enough.
Even in the misty forest where supplies are scarce, Jacques has not stopped maintaining the state of the Eight Winds Refining Body for a long time every day, doesn't he just need to eat more and hunt more prey.
But at Lily's house, Jacques couldn't bear it every day, and he hadn't opened the Eight Winds Refining Body for three days. However, this is not the end, I have to train with Lily every afternoon, and if I don't open the Eight Winds Refining Body, how can my physical fitness be compared to Lili, who has reached the peak of the plasticizer, commonly known as the "no leakage" state, naturally she has been beaten.
Fat Tangerine is very happy these days, not only can he eat delicious small dried fish at any time, but he can also read in the study of the Nasrid branch president in the evening.
It's a pity that the vacation is coming to an end soon, and Jacques will return to the academy in two days, but Lily is going to attend a ceremony that day, and she can't go back to the academy to help him ask Dean Hardy to go through the graduation procedures, and Jacques has to be a student for two more days.
......
Rand, the capital of the Duchy of Cashia, the residence of the auxiliary governor Robert.
The steam cart stopped at the door, and Hill got out of the car with his father, and his attendant rushed to the door room to hand over the post. At this time, there was some noise at the door, and a small man with a hood was arguing with the guards, apparently trying to meet Vice-Adjutant Robert, but was stopped outside the door.
The porter saw the business card, and immediately trotted out, rushed to Hill's father, bowed, and said, "Welcome, Mr. Bayer Schmidt, Lord Baptiste is in the house, please come with me...... Ah, this is your son?"
"It's the dog Hill Schmidt, there's nothing inconvenient, right?"
"Oh, no, no, welcome, please both of you ...... me"
The noisy little man at the door, seeing that Hill and his son were about to enter the mansion, had an idea, ran forward, and said, "Two, two, I have important information to tell Mr. Robert, can I tell you that I am from Port Mousse, and I am his countryman." β
The porter stretched out his hand to push him, but the steward was just an ordinary person, but this little man with a hood was an extraordinary person, he stood there without moving, and the two Awakened guards couldn't move him a bit.
Seeing this, Hill said: "Sir, since Lord Baptiste's subordinates do not give you the reason why there must be a family, you see that we are also guests, and it is not reasonable to meddle in the affairs of the master's house. Sorry, I can't help you. β
The little transcendent man hurriedly said, "They have to tell them first, but I can only tell Master Robert the information I want to tell." β
The porter also said angrily: "There are many people like you who find all kinds of excuses to approach our lord every day, and you say that you are an extraordinary person, and you won't find a regular channel to meet you? Just by saying that you have information, we can let you in? Just kidding! Who knows if you ran to our lord to borrow money, this set is not working in me! Either you and I are clear about things, and I will help you get through, or you go away, otherwise I will call the city guards!"
Pushing the hood of the little man fell, revealing his face, from the iconic mustache, Hill immediately recognized that this person was the leader of the team who had asked their team to go to the patrol leader grandmaster to listen to the leader, but this person was arrogant at the time, and he didn't care about the appearance of the students, so he didn't recognize himself now, and later Hill also heard that all the members of the team he was in charge of were missing.
Why did this man come to see Vice-President Robert Baptiste?
Hill and his son continued to walk towards the gate under the guidance of the porter, and the mustachioed tutor Brobby said hurriedly, "Okay, I'll tell you! β
The porter also lost his temper and said, "Don't call and drink, I still have a distinguished guest to accompany, right here, give you a word, and I'll leave without saying anything." β
The bearded tutor Broby looked at the Hill father and son behind the porter and hesitated, the porter often saw this kind of person, and knew a little bit of the news, so he thought it was scoop, and said impatiently: "This is a distinguished guest from Saxony, it has nothing to do with your little in Port Mousse, say it quickly, or I will leave." β
The mustache Brobby hesitated for a second, but still said: "Please tell Mr. Robert, I have a secret of his fiancΓ©e's disciple here, please see me when he is free, I will tell him in detail." β
The porter accompanies Hill and his son into the mansion, leaving Brobby to wait outside the door.
Hill followed behind his father and met the legendary Mr. Robert Baptiste, who had a great conversation with Robert and decided that Dongting Commercial would be an important partner of the Baptiste Business Alliance in Saxony in the future.
But Hill had been distracted, and he heard the words of the mentor at the door, and then connected some details of his relationship with Jacques, and thought that the whole team in charge of this man was missing, if one of them was a child of a nobleman...... Would he have betrayed some of Jacques's secrets in exchange for Robert's protection?
Thinking of this, Hill wanted to leave here urgently, and wanted to report to Jacques, Jacques's gang was very good, the eldest sister also liked them very much, the hot pot was delicious, and the mouth of the eater was short, so he couldn't let him suffer and keep it in the dark.
That night, Brobby finally met Robert. Sending off Brobie, Robert stood alone on the balcony for two hours, lost in thought.
Early the next morning, two messengers boarded the train to Port Mousse at the same time, one carrying a letter to Viscount Ginoa, and the other to find Jacques Renaud.
