Chapter 22: Bad Things
The restaurant on the corner was not large, and the layout inside was quite simple, with only five tables, and at this time, two tables already had customers.
There are cluttered clutter on the shelves and counters, and it can be seen that the owner of the restaurant also sells some daily necessities.
As Roque followed Barrow in, the two tables looked at each other, and for only a few seconds, they withdrew their gazes.
Yag didn't follow up, he stood at the door like a guard, tossing and turning for so long, at the moment his heart was only excited, and there was no hunger at all.
"Sit down, Roque. ”
The two of them settled down at the table by the window, and soon the waiter came over.
"Whether the guests want to eat or drink something. ”
Barrow looked at Roque and said, "What do you want?"
"Just take your idea, I'm not hungry. Roque shook his head.
Hearing this, Barrow thought for a moment and said, "Let's have a little warm oil and wheat tea." ”
After the waiter left, Barrow opened up the conversation and was rambling on about something inconsequential, mostly about work and the town of Miral.
"Roque, what do you think of the recent events at Blackthorn Manor. Finding that what he was talking about was not of much interest to the other party, Barrow got straight to the point.
"It's a struggle, my father and mother have been victimized, and I'm not sure how many enemies I have right now, but Seth definitely ran away. ”
Listening to Roque's words, Barrow nodded slightly, now he can be sure that the other party should have his own plans.
"What happened in the Black Thorn Manor this time is too strange, but one thing I can be sure of is that maybe the real enemy has never been seen in the shadows, and I sincerely hope that no matter what time it is, you will not be blinded by hatred. ”
Roque looked at Barrow and nodded deeply, he could hear that the other party's words were sincere, and this kindness was worth cherishing.
When people meet, there is no need to go to the bottom of the cause to find the reason, it is too wasteful of time, if you get along, you can get together, and if you don't get along, you will break up, it's so simple.
Roque feels that Barrow is a person worth making friends with, although he doesn't know this person very well, and similarly, Roque also has reservations about everything, but judging from this short time together, he is really good, which has nothing to do with age, identity, and strength.
"Guest, please use it slowly, if you have any orders, call me at any time." The waiter brought the oil barley tea, put it away, and left.
The aroma of oil wheat tea was refreshing, steaming, and Roque's eyes were temporarily attracted by it.
"Let's have a drink. Barrow moved a cup of oil barley tea to Roque.
"Thank you. ”
"So Roque, when are you going to go home. Barrow's words meant something.
"Chief Barrow?"
"Roque, call me Brother Barrow like Dogs. ”
"Okay. ”
"Brother Barrow, I plan to return to Black Thorn Manor in three days. ”
"Three days later, there's plenty of time, and then Doggs and I will bring some people back with you, and try to eradicate those potential crises at once. ”
Value is a cumbersome and complex science, and it is no exaggeration to say that it runs through the production and life of human beings.
Contrary to his will, the reason why Doggs went all out to help Roque was that in addition to the promise made by the other party, that is, he saw value.
It is precisely because of this that he spared no effort to bring Barrow in, and investing in something that will never go out of style, as if there is nothing in this world that cannot be invested.
In the same way, Barrow, the chief of the town guard, also saw the value in Roque, and he wisely invested in kindness, friendship, and assistance in the first place.
Even the mayor of the town who was born with a disease was not investing in disguise, although he did not explicitly give support, but Randolph did not come forward to explain everything, he believed that Roque would understand, this is where the value of the other party lies.
Oil wheat tea was not for lunch, and it didn't take long for Dogs, who was busy with his work, to walk in, and the three of them chatted for a while before leaving the restaurant.
Back at the residence, Doggs took some time to reassure Martha, and it was clear that he cared about his wife, and Gorde was busy in the kitchen with his maid Dani, and Roque was busy visiting Fili in the first place.
"Lie down, don't move, you're too weak now, you need to recuperate. ”
Seeing Roque walk in, Fili, who had already woken up, hurriedly wanted to get up, but was stopped by the other party.
"Master Roque, I'm sorry for the trouble. Fili, who was lying down, said weakly.
"It's not your fault, damn it, but Argy has already vented your anger. ”
Roque's face was gentle, and at this time, Yag, who was standing behind him, saw some apples on the bedside table, walked over silently, and directly began to peel apples.
"Brother Yag, thank you. ”
"Silly girl, rest well, I wish you a speedy recovery. ”
After handing the peeled apple to Fili, a smile appeared on Yagger's old face.
Roque stayed in the room for a long time, and in addition to genuinely visiting Fili, he also wanted to know if the extraordinary power of the last sacrifice would work on the other party's body, and then make her suddenly healed.
"Mr. Roque, lunch is ready, Mr. Doggs has called you over. ”
I don't know how long it took, but I saw Dani cautiously walk in with a plate, it seemed that she was going to feed Fili, Roque nodded and stood up, it seemed that the sacrifice did not favor Fili.
Lunch went on in a quiet atmosphere, Yag rarely didn't drink, focused on the food in front of her, Martha's complexion recovered well, and Gre stood quietly beside her.
The whole town of Miral, at this time, is quieter than in the morning, after all, the theme of survival is inseparable from food, and people's industrious hands are for the service of the mouth.
However, some people didn't care about this, and the events of the morning made them completely unprepared for lunch, and even the dragon's meat could not whet their appetite at this time.
Behind the calm of the Black Thorn Manor was a monstrous rage lurking, and in the spacious bedroom, four people were sitting around a table, with only a cup of coffee in front of them.
Enoch's eyes were slightly closed, Seth and Gabler were stretching their faces, and another middle-aged man in a felt hat was smoking a cigarette unhurriedly.
"It's nerve-wracking how things got to this point. ”
"I'm shocked by what happened in the morning, Enoch has to say, this is your mistake, why did those town guards suddenly come and stir things up. The middle-aged man tapped his golden pipe and spoke dissatisfied.
"Hmph, Enoch you have to give me an explanation. ”
As soon as he said this, Gabriel became angry, and he decided that Enoch had abandoned him at that time, whether he lived or died.
Enoch slowly opened his eyes, a sneer appeared on his face, and he said calmly: "This is the responsibility of all of us, you must know that we are all at the helm of this ship, instead of complaining about the loss in the morning, it is better to think about what to do next." ”
Syllable!
"Bastard, you're passing the buck!" Gabriel slammed the table and yelled at him.
"Gabryl is fine, let's not talk about it, now is not the time to get angry with each other, we can't mess around, Enoch is right, this ship will not capsize if we work together. At this point, Seth frowned and spoke.
"Seth, I think that kid from Roque will soon be in charge of the Black Thorn Manor, and you, the titular master, will probably have to get out of the way by then, so what else can you do to talk about it quickly. The middle-aged man joked with a smile.
"Hmph, what else can I do now, that bastard is living comfortably with the town guards, I don't think I can count on you, I'll go to Morpheus City tomorrow. Gabriel glanced away angrily.
"What's the hurry, since our biggest trouble is the town guards, I have a way to get these troublesome guys to leave temporarily. Enoch said coldly.
"Enoch, what can you do, speak up quickly. The middle-aged man who put down his golden pipe asked curiously.
"Then you can tell me quickly. Gabriel urged as well.
"What do you mean?" Seth looked puzzled, as if he had thought of something.
Enoch shook his head at him, and then with a confident expression, he motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"This is the last time Doggs inspired me, and it gave me an idea, but to succeed, we must call a few other nobles in town. ”
After listening to Enoch's detailed plan, everyone present nodded in satisfaction.
For Roque, the new acquisition of Black Thorn Manor has become a matter of arrows, and tomorrow will be the day he will make a deal with Barrow.
But today something happened that puzzled Roque, and before dawn, Randolph sent someone to call Doggs away.
"My lord, you said there would be no problems. Yag knew about Roque's plan and couldn't help but be worried.
"I don't know for the time being, I'll know when Doggs comes back. ”
Roque didn't have a bottom in his own heart, he didn't say anything more, and went straight back to his room.
It was too early for a few people to be seen on the street, and Doggs met Barrow at the door of Randolph's house, and the two looked at each other with a solemn expression.
In the study, Randolph sat quietly, a piece of paper full of words in his hand, and was carefully browsing.
Barrow and Doggs came to the door and were about to speak, but the other party opened his mouth first.
"Come in, sit down. ”
After Barrow and Dogs were seated, Randolph put down the letter in his hand and said slowly: "The nobles of the town jointly report that the town guard is too quiet, and sometimes even infringes on their interests, Barrow should take a look at this letter." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Barrow didn't dare to slack off, he read the letter seriously, and his frowning brow never let go.
"Barrow has finished reading it, tell me what you think**** Michio asked seriously.
Doggs was a little restless, just looking at Barrow's face, he knew that it would definitely not be a good thing.
"My lord, the town guard has always done a good job in the division, I don't know where they got so many opinions, I can't say anything, mainly depends on what you think about this matter, sir. ”
Listening to Barrow's words, Randolph did not answer him immediately, but turned his gaze to Dogs.
"I heard that the last time you were at the Goblin Tavern, you swore that Roque hired you to protect him, is that about it?"
"This. Doggs was inexplicably panicked, he knew something bad was coming.
