Chapter 21: An Inexplicable Ceremony
A moment later, while the crowd was having breakfast, Sepul walked in.
"How were you resting yesterday?"
"Not very good! What does the young city lord mean? Late at night, let the women come to our room. Mick said.
Seiper walked up behind Mick and pressed his shoulders like a good friend.
"Hey, don't you want you two to relax, how about it?"
Mick doesn't sound like a gentleman can speak.
Mick didn't speak, just shook his head.
"Oh, that's a pity! that's .......," Sepur said again.
He looked at the two girls and said, leaning into Mick's ear.
"It's Hina!"
Mick frowned at this, but now he was sure that Seipur was definitely not the 'gentleman' he seemed.
"Let's stop talking about that, okay?" Mick smiled politely.
"Young City Lord, when is it convenient for the City Lord today, let's study the matter of Rand. Marianne interrupted Mick and Seipur's conversation as they became more and more embarrassed.
"Ah, it may not be possible today, because my father is sick today and is on bed rest, and you can actually see some clues yesterday. Old man, it's always like this, it's not the first time, so my father gave me enough rights, tell me something, I can make decisions, I also have the right to command the army. ”
Marianne thought for a moment, then nodded.
After a while, the group finished their meal and followed Sepur back to the reception room.
This time, Sepur sat in the position where the city lord sat before, and the soft chair made his slightly thin body directly wrapped in, which looked very awkward.
"Tell me what your plans are. ”
"Young City Lord, that's right, we learned that after Rand escaped from prison, the cities were quickly put under martial law, so we suspect that Rand is still moving around Hill City. That's why we want to send the army of Hill City to work with us to investigate the perimeter. ”
"Oh, that's right, the plan is good, but our army is too small, and the soldiers who can be used in addition to the garrison are even smaller, so what we can provide you with in terms of the army is really limited. And as we all know, Hill City is a major city in the service industry, so you may have to rely on yourself for this task. ”
Sepour's words undoubtedly poured cold water on the four of them.
But fortunately, Mick had already thought of this.
"Then we'll have to look for clues on our own. Mick said.
"Well, I'm really sorry. When are you going to act? Seipur asked.
"Today, after all, time is tight and the task is heavy. ”
"Eh, today is not a coincidence, because today is our annual festival in Hill City, so the situation is unprecedented, in order to prevent the scene from being too chaotic, we have decided to impose martial law in the whole city, so no one can enter or leave at this time, so I forgive you for not being able to do this. ”
Marianne didn't expect the task to be difficult.
"And what about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is possible. ”
"Then we'll act tomorrow. ”
"Good!" Seiper nodded.
The four of them then left the reception room.
And just as they left, a middle-aged man in white walked out of the small room in the reception room.
"Young City Lord, do you think our method will work?"
"Of course, a group of children, let them have fun and they naturally forget everything. ”
"What about yesterday.......
"Hmph! Those two cowards are too timid to play!"
"That's what the young city lord said!"
"How many times have you said it! Call me the lord of the city in the future!"
"Yes, City Lord. The man said respectfully.
...........
"Let's leave tonight!"
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Mick whispered in Marianne's ear.
"What's wrong?" asked Marianne.
"I'm talking about it when I go back. ”
The four of them returned to Marianne's room.
"What's wrong?"
"Seipur is deliberately delaying our time. ”
"Why?"
"Now it seems that it is very likely to have something to do with the matter of Rand, on the way to the reception room, I took a look, and the fortifications in the city are very weak, which proves that the army that left the city before did not return to the city, so Sepul must be delaying time for them. ”
"Then let's go now. ”
"No way!"
Mick walked over to the window and opened it to signal the group to look down.
And when they came to the window, they found that there were also some people downstairs looking into their rooms.
"Just take a look. Mick instructed.
When the men saw the crowd looking at this, they immediately turned their heads and walked away.
"They're watching us?"
"Yes. Mick nodded.
"Looks like we're going to take advantage of the chaos to leave during the evening celebrations. Marianne said.
"Well, that's what I thought, too. ”
"What's the plan?"
"There is no plan, there is an opportunistic action. ”
"However, since this decision has been made, I am afraid that a fierce battle will inevitably occur. Mick said.
"Do we need support?" asked Marianne.
"It would be best if we could, but the Academy of Light is too far away from us, and it will be too late for their support to arrive. ”
Hearing Mick say this, Marianne thought for a moment and said.
"My father's fiefdom isn't too far from here. ”
Marianne's words made everyone's eyes shine.
"Does Duke Robin have a fief nearby?" asked Sumer.
"Yes, my father has a fiefdom near here, which is not large, but it is strong enough to assist us in our fight against Hill City. Moreover, my father's status is higher than that of the city lords of Hill, so as soon as my father's army arrives, they should not dare to come nonsense. ”
"Then you can just reveal your identity. Fox said.
"Are you stupid! If we reveal our identity, Seiper will kill us and blame Rand. Sumel said.
"Then let's go and deliver a letter to your father. ”
Marianne nodded.
The group walked out of the inn and headed for the Letterhawk Bureau in Hill City, and the watchmen who had been downstairs quickly followed.
The letter eagle situation is a place to deliver letters, this place will raise a large number of low-level monsters, letter eagles, letter eagles basically have no use except for sending letters, because all cities have letter eagle bureaus, so it is very convenient to use letter eagles for message transmission.
When I came to the letter eagle bureau, the boss was sitting at the table with nothing to do.
"Hello, we would like to mail a letter. ”
The boss looked at them.
"Uh..... Oh yes, our Shin Eagle Bureau is out right now, so there is no Shin Eagle to use right now. The boss said.
"Oh, that's right, we'll come back later. Mick said.
Marianne wanted to say something, but was carried out of the letter eagle board by Michael.
After exiting the Letter Eagle Bureau, Marianne shook off Mick's hand.
"Eh, why don't you let me ask if there's no one here, how can the eagle run out?" complained Marianne.
"You use your brains, it's obvious that Seiper has colluded with the boss of the Letterhawks. Mick reminded.
"Oh!" said Marianne.
In fact, she could figure out this problem if she was given a little time to react, but she was in a hurry to make a contribution just now, so she didn't expect it.
"So what do we do now. Marianne asked.
Sumel said to the crowd with a flash of inspiration.
"I have a way! ”
The crowd was a little confused, but now they could only follow Sumer.
The group followed Sumel to a secluded place, where they waited for a while, and finally a woman came.
"That's her!" said Sumer.
I saw Sumel walk towards the woman, then pass by her, and then tap her on the back of the head, and the woman fainted.
The crowd stepped forward and lifted the woman to a place where no one was around, and Sumel took off the woman's coat and began to change her clothes.
Sumel did not shy away from it, and began to undress after finding a tree that was not waist-thick.
This sent Mick and Foss's jaws to the ground.
Sumer's figure is not fat, but very plump, how can such a small tree completely cover her, with her movements, there are always some parts exposed into everyone's eyes. With the exception of a few particularly important parts, the rest was in the eyes of Mick and Foss.
This kind of scene even Mick couldn't help but swallow.
However, this beauty did not last long, because Sumel changed clothes so quickly, and it only took five or six seconds to change a set of clothes.
Sumer, who had changed his clothes, came out from behind the tree.
She took out a small makeup case and began to put on makeup.
Sumer's technique was very skillful, and the skillful face of Marianne was breathtaking.
After a set of actions, Sumer's appearance, face shape, and hairstyle have all changed. Aside from the fact that her proud figure hasn't changed, you don't recognize it as the same person.
"Are you still Sumer?" asked Foss.
"What do you say!" said Sumel with a kick on Foss's ass.
"Well, yes!" the kick made Foss know she was Sumer.
The group walked back to the letter eagle bureau, and then Sumel walked in alone.
Moments later, Sumel walked out of the letter eagle bureau.
"How?" asked Mick.
"That's it!" said Sumel with a smile.
Sumel then returned the clothes, and when the woman was still awake, Sumel put a silver coin in the pocket of the clothes.
............
A moment later the woman woke up, completely unaware of what had happened.
...........
The people stayed in the inn for the night. Then be invited to the evening celebrations.
However, the crowd was not just attending the celebration, they packed all the necessary luggage and were ready to leave Hill City at any time.
Mick had prepared a hooded trench coat in advance, and put the knife on his back again, so he couldn't really see it if he didn't look closely.
Marianne also changed into a long skirt and put the holster on her leg.
Sumer's weapons were simple, a set of knives, a set of darts, which she inserted into something similar to a harness, and then tied them around her waist so that outsiders could not see the slightest clue, all thanks to the fact that she had a thin waist...... and big breasts.
Foss was a physician, and his potions were very small.
The four of them walked out of the room almost simultaneously and walked outside.
At that moment, a woman's voice came from behind the crowd.
"Hello, the city lord sent me to take you to the celebration. ”
It was none other than Eve who spoke.
"It's you. Mick said.
Eve nodded.
"Another mission from Seiper?" asked Mick.
"Yes. ”
"Sepur didn't embarrass you after the failure of the last mission. ”
"No!" Eve shook her head.
"That's good!"
"Let's go!"
"Why are you dressed so strangely?" asked Eve.
"Isn't this specially prepared for the celebration?"
This is Marianne suddenly remembered something and asked Eve.
"Eve, do you have a celebration today?"
"Hmm......" Eve hesitated.
"Won't Sepul let you say it?" asked Mick.
Eve didn't speak, but Mick already had the answer in his mind.
"It's okay, you can tell me that we're just students of the Bright Academy here, so there's no need to be wary of me at all, and you should trust me, right? Mick said.
Mick's words clearly made her shake a little.
After a moment, Eve seemed to have finally made up her mind.
"Yes!"
Eve's words surprised everyone, could it all be a coincidence?
"But not today!" Eve added.
"That's it!"
"Yes, I told you before that 90% of the industries in Hill City are in the Hill family, so the managers of each property are also from the Hill family, or people related to the Hill family, and every year they will hold a grand meeting to prove the income of the year, so as to show it to the people and the outside world, and at the same time, the people of the Hill family will hold a meeting to formulate the policy for the next year.
Although there is no fixed time for this event, it is held at the beginning or end of the year every year. Because there are things to summarize at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year, and this is their most abundant financial resources to afford such a grand event, but this year I don't know why the event is held at this time, maybe it is to welcome you. ”
Mick sneered.
"Preparations for such a grand gathering should have started a long time in advance. Marianne asked.
"No, because they are all family businesses, their execution is extremely strong, and this rally has been held for many years, so the news I heard yesterday is ready today. ”
Eve spoke in great detail and explained almost all of Marianne's doubts.
"Oh no, the event is about to begin, let's hurry to the venue. It's too late, and the young city lord is going to punish me again. ”
So saying, the people walked towards the assembly.
Along the way, it can be said that the whole city is brightly lit, and all the shops that should be closed are now open as usual, and almost all of them are overcrowded, and it seems that they are either free or discounted.
The main venue of the rally was in the center of Hill City, and Mick knew why Eve was in such a hurry, because there were so many people on the road that vehicles could not pass at all, so they could only walk to the square in the center of the city.
