Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Mercenary's Breakfast

"I was drinking at the Fire Sands Tavern, and the boy rushed in from the outside," Vanessa told the truth, without hindrance, "and he hid at my feet when you came in to search for people. Unfortunately, you idiots didn't find his true identity in time. Vanessa flapped the arm of her chair in exasperation, "As a result, when I went upstairs, I found that he was stealing bread in my room. He said that a friend of mine had saved him, and now my friend was in trouble and called him to come to the Fire Sands Tavern for my help. Thinking of the friendship I had made, I decided to help him, so I took out half of the treasure map and used the tracking charm to find the other half, when the boy suddenly snatched the treasure map from my hand, jumped up the eaves like a monkey, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. ”

"So you're deliberately yelling so we can help you find the boy?" Horst's self-righteous reasoning finally went in the direction Vanessa expected.

"Why, your people haven't caught him yet?" Vanessa leaned over and looked around at Horst's men in disbelief, contempt palpable.

"I'll catch him." Greenbeard excitedly scrambled and said, "But I'm afraid we have the other half of the treasure map in our hands!" ”

***************

Boiled beets, buttered turnips, and a large plate of green beans, this is the mercenary's breakfast, "I'm not a picky eater," Vanessa complained to the mercenary guarding her as she spooned the beetroot, "but Horst doesn't take you seriously." What is it? Boiled with his saliva? He can take any gem I have, and I can add salmon soup to moisten your throat. The mercenary swallowed and went on to eat his breakfast, and Vanessa poured her portion into his bowl and muttered, "I never give this pig food to my brothers." ”

"I'm afraid you don't even deserve this pig food!" Horst's voice rang out from outside the cell door, and the chains opened, and the mercenary captain walked in with the big bags under his eyes. He rudely lifted Vanessa from the ground, "We interrogated that accomplice you said overnight, but he said the exact opposite of you! ”

"What did he say?" Vanessa squinted at Horst, not at all afraid.

He said, "Horst stopped talking, as if he was worried, but he said he didn't know anything about the treasure map." ”

"Do you have a night pot around your neck?" Vanessa exclaimed angrily, "Of course he will deny it!" As long as they are not stupid enough to go home, who will confide in a group of mercenaries and affectionately declare that they hold a gold mine that will never be spent! ”

"But he told us that you were his, his wife!"

Phew, shameless guy.

"As far as I know, you broke several people when you caught him, right?" Vanessa reminded the mercenary captain with a smirk, who was noncommittal, but eventually had to admit that it was true. Brandt was indeed difficult to deal with, his brute force was like a god, and he was also nimble, he knew the enemy's position and tactics in battle, and he was able to deal with them easily, and Horst's most effective deputy died under this man's sword. Vanessa nodded, "He gave you a few corpses, and I gave you real gems!" She stood on tiptoe and put her face in front of Horst's eyes, glaring at him viciously, "You don't believe me, do you believe that guy with a long heart!" ”

"Do I know this person you're talking about?"

It was Brandt's voice.

Then, two more people appeared at the door of the cell, Brandt, and a dignified middle-aged man
