Verse 296: Thank you to all my book friends who supported me

Passing through the portal, Marceau and Long found themselves in a room furnished with only a bed, a small chair and a small bedside table, with a few clothes hanging on the wall hangers, and overall, a very clean and tidy residence.

"It's clean, is this Mr. Leonard's residence?" looked at the small mechanical clock on the cabinet in the room and sighed, "This thing is also engineering, it's really interesting, I've only seen this kind of old mechanical clock in my grandfather's room." ”

"Let's go. Marceau stood by the door and looked at Chang Chang, and the girl trotted over and followed the kitten who pushed the door open to the bottom of the bar.

The big bald head watched the two of them go downstairs, and nodded to the cat cub and the girl: "I feel the fluctuation of the space, there should be more than one teleportation, has anyone else come here except you." ”

"The descendants of the Anonymous and the Mother Goddess, and the Guerrilla Knight's Lord Sapan, and your Pulsatilla Schlor of the Grey Eagle...... Riberius is dead. When Marceau said this, he saw a mouse jump on the counter and spat out, "Marceau, please stay with your friends, I have something to say." ”

"Ah, this is Leonard's pet. Marceau's explanation relieved Marceau, who was very curious and poked the mouse with his finger, and the latter squeaked and ran away, and it was clear that the little thing was being dominated by its instincts before Marceau's eyes.

"By the way, did you say Riberius is dead?" the big bald head leaned over the counter at this time.

"Yes, death embraced him completely...... He's an amazing tough guy. Marceau nodded vigorously.

“…… Thank you for telling me the news, Mr. Leonard has always considered his uncle Riberius to be his pride...... In all these years of fighting the curse, he had never complained about anything. "Liberius is indeed a remarkable old man. Long added.

"Well, lovely young lady, since you still have to wait for Leonard. Would you like another glass of milk, this time I'll put it on with super sweet honey. "Thanks, please bring me a big drink right away!"

…………

Saying that he would wait a while, Marceau and Chang Jiu sat at the counter for another hour, and the big bald head refilled several glasses of honey milk for Chang Jiu, but that's it. Higashi still yawned in the game, and Leonard walked down from the second floor. "I'm sorry, I just sent my uncle's bones with my colleagues at Ashupi's headquarters...... Jack, stop the show over there, stop the bar's business, I have something to talk to these two strangers about here. Leonard said to the big bald head.

So the latter clapped his hands, motioned for the rough men who were still watching the girl fly over the steel pipe to leave, and when there were no outsiders in the bar, the big bald head walked to the door and withdrew. Then he closed the door for the three people who were still in the bar.

"My uncle's last wish was to be buried in the Grey Eagle's Graveyard, so I had just escorted his remains, and there I met Lord Schlor again. "I know, Pulsatilla of the Grey Eagle, that's what we strangers call your Lord Schlor. Long interrupted Leonard's words, and Leonard didn't seem to be annoyed by the interruption, he smiled and nodded, "Yes, Pulsatilla of Gray Eagle." That's what you steppe elves called him in the Fourth Open Era, when he was still a young man. ”

"yes. He has solved several cases of trafficking prairie elf cubs, and his whole body is still standing at the gate of the steppe elf's stream city. At the mention of this NPC, Long Chancellor seemed to be very interested, and she turned to look at Marceau: "Marceau, Mr. Schlohl is a celebrity among the steppe elves." ”

"yes, I see. Now let Mr. Leonard continue his conversation. Marceau smiled and nodded, admitting that he had heard everything he had about Schlor.

Chang stuck out his little tongue and sat down very obediently.

So Leonard continued his words, and he pulled out a letter bag from the inner pocket of his chest: "Your Excellency Schlor asked me to ask you for something...... By the way, this is a thank you gift from His Excellency Schlor. Thank you for saying a kind word about Greyhawk, which contains the blood money owned by Euroca Bloody Hand, I hope you will like it, and I ask you to forgive Justine Bipol, who has always served Greyhawk. ”

"Well, since it was a request from His Excellency Schlor, I can forgive Justin Bipol. Marceau glanced at the envelope, then looked at Leonard, "You said this is Euroca Bloody Hand's blood money, is she dead?"

"She was the first of the survivors to fall completely degenerate...... Returning to the Orc tribe, she had no way of escaping the curse's inducement to her, and after her fall, the tribe was corrupted by her evil incarnation. Leonard sighed, "...... After we found out about this, the tribe was ordered to be exterminated, as the orcs had been completely undead. ”

"So, does Lord Schrohl want me to do anything? Taking the paper bag and feeling the coins in the bag, Marceau breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, this orc is also dead, at least she doesn't have to go all over the world to find her.

"Hill Capria, former Grey Eagle staff member in Provence, my deputy...... It's been missing for a week, and according to Gray Eagle's workflow, those who have been missing for a week are considered potential defectors. Leonard sighed a little awkwardly as he handed a portrait to Marceau.

The young man in the portrait has a smile on his face, his eyes are squinted so that he can't see the eyeballs, which makes Marceau frown: "You are sure that he is really missing or defected, and not to be a sunken fish." ”

"During the time of Hill's disappearance, I made a point to confirm with His Excellency Schlor that he had not carried out any hidden work, so I told His Excellency Schlor about this, and Your Excellency said that I can entrust this matter to you, and you will find Hill for us. ”

"Mr. Leonard, are you sure that your deputy is still in Provence? Chang asked curiously.

"Our prophetic mage says it seems to be disturbed, and he can't pinpoint Ciel's location, but it's certain that he hasn't left Provence yet. Leonard replied.

Marceau thought for a moment and looked up at Leonard, "Well, I think I have a clue." Then the kitten told all the twists and ways of fighting that he had received about the finances of Southern Solidarity and the murder of the bodyguards. "Can you tell me what kind of fighting style Hill is? ”

"Needless to say, I think he must have done this case, he was best at short knives, Hidden Arrows and muskets, and he had been trained in full assassination at Nighthawk training camp. Leonard looked at the two of them and said with a wry smile, "That's why I believe Hill is not dead." He's not the kind of guy who can be easily killed. ”

"Alright, Mr. Leonard, you first check the records of the murder scene through your connections, these things should be available on the city guards' side. Marceau said to Leonard: "If it is indeed the hand of Hill, you let your demon pet tell me, and I can find Hill through the means of our strangers, since he is still in Provence, as long as he has a breath, it is impossible to hide himself for the rest of his life." ”

"Then we're done. Once the information on the murder is confirmed, I will ask my little mouse to bring you a letter. Leonard said with a smile.

Marceau didn't answer, but just shook his ears and flicked his tail, his face full of joy when the hunter met his prey.

Leonard slapped himself in the face: "I want to ...... Let my carrier pigeon deliver the letter to you. ”

"Well, that's it, now I'm going to take my friend with me, she's tired. I think I'm really tired of her today. Marceau finished speaking, and reached out to take the long little hand. The latter was already a little confused, and was held by the kitten to wake up the little girl, but when he found out that it was a kitten, the little guy squinted again.

"I'm sorry, but I asked Jack to send you back, after all, you strangers have been strained lately. Leonard stood up. Accompanying Marceau and Chang Chang out of the bar, he snapped his fingers at the big bald head who was sitting on the corner of the street, holding a bowl in one hand and teasing a puppy in the other: "Jack, I have to do it beforehand, do me a favor." Send our guests back to the north of the city. ”

"No problem, head. Putting the bowl in front of the puppy, the big bald head wiped his hand on his trouser leg, and then walked quickly to Marceau and Changjiu: "Two, come with me, this piece of my Jack is still a little famous, although it is not as good as some existences that can stop children crying at night, but at least it will not disturb your return." ”

So saying goodbye to Leonard, Marceau led Changjiu and followed Jack all the way north, although there were many pedestrians of all colors on the road, but when they saw Jack's brotherly appearance, some people greeted him, some people raised their hats and saluted, and some people stayed away.

When he arrived at the hotel, Jack glanced at the hotel: "You have found a good place to stay here, you don't have to worry about any small nights." ”

"This was chosen for us by a friend of the steppe elves, Mr. Jack, and thank you for accompanying us back. Marceau didn't know what stories the inn had before, but thanks to the big bald head of this Jack.

To tell the truth, Marceau felt that he could still shout the motto 'I can fight ten' with all those goods on the road, but at this moment after all, he was not single - he had fallen asleep completely by the end, and this girl was now sleeping on the back of the kitten, and carrying her kitten cub on her back indicated that the girl was really light.

I just don't know if this little girl is still so poundy in reality.

"It's all right, my head and His Excellency Schrohl believe in me so much, you are my friend, if you are free that day, bring your little girlfriend to the bar, and I will make her a good honey milk, absolutely to her taste. ”

"Okay. "The kitten can see that this big man is born with a virgin's heart, and specializes in feeding small animals, from puppies to little prairie elves...... Meow a mi, this metaphor is too dangerous, no, it's this big man who is too dangerous!

Saying goodbye quietly, Marceau carried the girl into the hotel and went up to the second floor, opened the door of the long room with the key, put the long one on the bed, first took off the leather armor on her body, and then laid her flat on the bed and covered it with a blanket.

Then the kitten went out of the room and took the door, returned to his room and began to shed his leather armor.

Don't say anything about having a thief's heart, and don't mention anything without a thief's guts, Marceau just firmly remembered that if such a girl was on the stall, not to mention a certain loving father and his guardian daughter, the cat cub himself would have to peel off the skin and send it to the Lin sisters obediently.

"Betrayal is an unforgivable sin. "Put on your pajamas. The kitten folded its collar and sighed as it fell on the blanket.

……

When the door closed, the sound of the lock falling sounded, and Chang opened his eyes and glanced at the door.

"What a ...... A righteous gentleman who was not born. ”

The girl smiled and sighed, then closed her eyes and chose to go offline.

The next moment, the girl who sat up from the bed took off the helmet on her head. Her room was in another part of the recessed main building of the hotel, overlooking Marceau's small attic, of course, now blocked by curtains, the little girl stood up and stretched, and then walked out of the bedroom to sit down on the blanket in the front hall of the guest room.

"My little host, had a great time. As the chief prosthetic AI of the long family, Mr. Jehein withdrew his attention from the book in his hand at the right time, raised his head to look at the little master, and asked with a smile.

"It's not pleasant, I'm afraid of winning a bet with my cousins. It's also very unpleasant. Chang Chang picked up a piece of dim sum on the table and put it in his mouth and chewed it vigorously until he swallowed it, and then he explained the confusion of Mr. Jehein, who was still smiling: "I made a bet with Jinglu and her sister Jinglang, as well as the sisters of the Lin family, and it is not interesting to say the content of the bet, anyway, the result is that I will kill ...... But when I got off the line, why did I always feel like I was the one who lost the mess? ”

"If you don't want to say the content of the bet, how can I evaluate it. But my little master, man lives. There are always wins and losses, and you don't have to be discouraged, after all, you still win, don't you. Returning his attention to the book in his hand, Jerhein didn't look up: "It's still a while before dawn, aren't you going to take a break?" ”

"Nope. It's already four o'clock in the morning, I'm going to go to the kitchen to prepare the morning porridge first, that sister named Nan Jiuye has just taught me a lot of her unique skills, I must wash away the stigma that I won't do it earlier today!"

As a housekeeper, Jie Haiyin frowned: "Then." My little master, do you need me to prepare a vehicle for the kitten to take him to the hospital first. ”

There was silence in the living room for a full minute, and then Chang turned to leave: "Can't you trust me once, Grandpa Jehine." ”

"Trust cannot be built on the imminent loss of someone's life, my little master. Jayhain's face was filled with a smile.

"I don't care! I'm going to be ashamed today!" Standing in the doorway, Hiakia stuck out his tongue at his old butler, and ran up the stairs.

After thinking about it for a moment, Jerhain decided to take a look - it was for the good of a certain kitten, after all, whoever woke up to see a bowl of mysterious green gooey food that was still bubbling would inevitably break off.

Following behind his little master, looking at her back, Jie Hein suddenly thought of a long time ago, when the old lady was still a little master...... That must have happened three hundred years ago. At that time, the little master was also humming a song while watching the recipes on the screen on the way to the kitchen.

Now, watching the little guy in front of me push open the kitchen door, watching her self-cooked drag over the chair and standing on it, watching her handle all kinds of ingredients, it feels as if time has gone back to three hundred years ago, Jethayin dragged a chair and sat down.

The little girl in front of her was humming a song, and Jie Haiyin listened to it for a while, and found that it was an old song of the Celestial relics: "It's an old song, it's the past when the old man was still a teenager, when did you learn it, little master." ”

"Some time ago, I was playing at my grandfather's place, and my grandfather repaired his second-hand player again, and the first song in it was this. The little master replied without looking back while trying to process the mushroom ingredients.

"Today and Marceau have seen a lot of the world, he is a very good guy, but unexpectedly it is a mature old looking kitten, and the kitten people of the same age are still in a hurry to die, but he already understands what it means to be troublesome and stay away. ”

"The little master seems to like this kitten cub very much, and simply begs your father to make him your chief retainer. Jehein asked with a smile - every time Jehein said this, his little master always squirmed and pinched, full of little daughter posture.

But this time, Jerhein found that his little master was silent for a moment, and then shook his head: "No, he already has a owner, grandpa said that a gentleman does not take the favor of others, although I am not a gentleman, but ...... How can I force a boy who doesn't like me to like me again? ”

Looking at the somewhat lonely back of his little master, Jie Haiyin frowned, and hummed a lyric that his little master had just hummed in his heart, when 'it turned out that we were all lonely', Jie Haiyin suddenly understood, and he hummed the remaining words 'Even if my heart is broken a hundred times, I have to laugh brightly, we are all lonely, looking forward to meeting another person in the alienated city and sharing my loneliness. Only then did I understand that my little master had grown up unconsciously.

"My little host. Thinking of this, Jerhayin asked with a smile.

"What's the matter. Without turning around, he was gathering the mushrooms and preparing them to cook in the meat pot.

"I'm an old man, I'll help you. Jhein stood up.

"No! Sister Nan Jiuye said that only love and food in this world cannot be disappointed!" refused the help of the housekeeper, and replied in a serious way.

“…… Okay, then Jerhain just watched. Jerhain smiled and nodded. (To be continued......)
