Volume 2 Chapter 170 - The Flop

The rest of the journey went smoothly and there were no further twists and turns.

Thor and Lorna set out on their journey from the shores of the Lake of Wailing to Gain late at night, and after less than two days of walking, they finally arrived at their destination, the main city of Candela's territory, the city of Gain, in the afternoon of Storming Day.

The ancient majestic city walls, the strict and orderly defense, you can see the spires above the city walls stretching all the way, and there are a series of lights faintly in the darkness.

If it was the beginning of the journey, Thor might still feel emotional, but after visiting the main cities of several territories, it is difficult to make waves in his heart when facing such a scene now.

What's more, he didn't come to play, but to unravel the fog. Come on, the truth is already close.

Walking down the wide streets of Cain City, Lorna suddenly stretched.

"I'm so tired~!It's been a long time since I've walked this far, and now I just want to have a good meal and fall asleep. What about you? What are you going to do next? I can give you a chance to be neighbors with me for another night!" Lorna winked mischievously.

"I don't have a problem with traveling, it's a state of being closer to wandering, and in the end there's a lot of freedom. Looking at your greedy eating and sleeping, do you have any good recommendations?" Thor replied quietly, it seemed that the main play should be at night.

"If you ask me, it's true, I used to stay in this part of the North City when I came. The food here can only be said to be reluctant, but there is a three-story hotel where you live, and the view of the night view is also very wide, how about it?" Lorna tentatively asked.

"Lead the way, I hope there won't happen to be only one room in such a nice place, otherwise we'll have to sleep in each other's arms." Thor joked nonchalantly, it seemed that the other party had already set the time and place.

So Lorna took Thor to a hotel in the North City called 'Dream Grass'.

The hotel is divided into three floors and is brightly lit, but on the surface it seems to be just an ordinary hotel, except for the height of the hotel, the building structure is not as vast as expected.

Lorna took the lead in communicating with the innkeeper, emphasizing that she had taken the initiative to pay for two empty rooms on the third floor.

"It's a pity! There are a lot of empty rooms on the third floor, it seems that you are going to be disappointed, and we will only have the fate of being neighbors. Lorna smiled back with a seductive smile, as if in response to Thor's previous joke.

Thor shrugged his shoulders regretfully, silently accepting the other party's arrangement.

Although the whole hotel is not large, the interior decoration is quite chic, with a brick and stone structure, carpets rolling down the staircase, and some beautiful landscape paintings in warm colors hanging on the walls of the corridor with picture frames.

The two of them went up to the third floor one after another, and then entered their respective rooms first.

After a few moments, Lorna ran and knocked on the door.

"It's too much trouble to go out into the street to find a restaurant now, so I think we might as well have a casual meal in this hotel, and it's easy to rest. The beans and sweet soup at this inn are said to be good, but I missed it last time, so how about it?" Lorna recommends.

"I'm fine, I'll bother you, and thank you for your hospitality. Thor smiled.

"Then I'll go down and beckon the innkeeper to bring you the food in a moment, and you can rest for a while, and then we'll have dinner together, just like in a cave." Lorna waved her hand generously and enthusiastically, and turned to go downstairs.

Waiting until there was silence all around, Thor closed the door with a blank face and gently pushed open the third-floor window.

Fresh air quickly poured into the room, dispelling the stuffiness of the room, and although the height and view were good, Saul didn't seem to be much different from the night view that Creedy had seen sitting on a tree branch.

This drama is almost coming to an end, what will we be waiting for in the end?

Thor tapped his fingers lightly on the windowsill, guessing .......

Lorna rushed all the way to the first floor with her skirt in hand, and after a few words she explained the food, then turned and left the hotel.

Walking out of the hotel door, she turned around and looked up, and Thor had a window facing the back of the hotel, with no view from the front.

"It's up to you to take care of yourself, and hopefully you'll be safe. Lorna looked up and muttered, turning and burrowing into a dark alleyway across the street from the hotel.

It was an ordinary short alleyway with no portal in it, and there were black-robed men guarding each side of the alleyway, and in the middle of the alleyway, three black-robed people gathered around Lorna.

"How's it going? Miss Lorna. Dark Cross Squadron Leader Jeradir asked expectantly.

"I'm sorry, but I may not have gained much. After contact along the way, he looks like an ordinary normal person in terms of conversation, personality, and personality. ”

"I've never felt anything evil in him, and he doesn't even have magical fluctuations, and he doesn't know anything about magic. He used a sword, called himself a warrior, and he talked to me about his name and background, which basically matched the description of the mission. ”

"Once the team was formed, I deliberately attracted some enemies on the shores of the Wailing Lake, and then forced him to attack under the pretext that his magic was not going to continue. However, his battle seems to be decent, he is completely like an ordinary adventurer, and his methods are also very ordinary, and there is nothing outstanding about it. ”

Lorna spoke fluently and freely describing her general impression of Thor, mostly her own true feelings, and also withholding some details, but they were not relevant to the big picture.

"So, what's the conclusion?" said Vice-Captain Walliston.

"Anyway, I think this contact was a success, and he didn't have the slightest sense of my purpose or your presence. There are probably two possibilities, one is that the information of the Dark Cross is fundamentally wrong, and the other is that he is unfathomable. Lorna thought carefully and replied.

Lorna's answer made the brows of the three people around them furrow at the same time, because Lorna seemed to answer, but in fact, it was equivalent to saying nothing, and everyone was still standing at the starting point after a busy day.

Of course, they didn't question Lorna for a long time, after all, Lorna had gone so far in great danger. Anyone in the squadron who did it might not be better than Lorna.

And although this result is a little unsatisfactory, it can be regarded as in their prediction, after all, if the other party is a fool who can't even hide the details well, it is impossible to leave a big question mark in the mission description of the Dark Cross.

Warriors, no magic, and the crowd chewed on these unimportant points in turn, and in the end they still got nothing.

"Forget it, since there is no result, let's go according to the original plan, and talk to him first. Everyone cheered up vigilantly, hoping that we would not fall into the reputation of the Dark Cross. Captain Jerodiel made a decision, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"What about me? do you need my involvement? or just wait here?" asked Lorna.

"Does he know you're coming out? I mean is it going to arouse his suspicion that you're running out now?" asked Gerodiel.

"I ran out quietly under the pretext of going to the hotel lobby to prepare food, and if I came out for a while, it should be no problem if I ran back immediately. Lorna replied inexplicably.

"Can I ask Miss Lorna for another favor?" said Geraldill, pulling out a small paper bag.

"What is this?" said Lorna, looking at the paper bag with some hesitation.

"Uh...... This is Frost Leaf Grass, a medicinal powder that causes temporary paralysis until you fall asleep, and I hope you can go back and quietly put it in the drink. ”

"I'm actually reluctant to use such a tactic, but I hope that the upcoming battle will be more certain, and it doesn't even need to be better, after all, I don't want to lose any of my teammates, Miss Lona. Gerodiel pleaded with some embarrassment.

"You ...... What will you do with him when you catch him?" Lorna asked.

"The last order I received was to take him back to Odelensa as much as possible, but if he resisted to the death, he had to be killed on the spot, depending on the situation. Gerodiel replied truthfully.

"Okay, I'll go back again, it should be in time. Lorna blinked, and took the small paper bag. Without a fight, he wouldn't have died, at least not for the time being, Lorna thought with relief.

As soon as Lorna's figure disappeared into the hotel, ten squadron members of the Dark Cross immediately surrounded the hotel from all sides to ensure that not a single fly could escape.

When Lorna returned, she saw Thor knocking on her door.

"Is there something wrong?" I had a brief chat with the boss on the first floor about the local customs, and there seem to be a few good places worth visiting, are you interested?" Lorna smiled and sent out the invitation.

"Let's talk about it then, you weren't there just now, so the hotel waiter delivered the food directly to my room. Thor replied with a smile.

Thor then turned and pushed open the door to his room, letting Lorna in, and the food and drinks were already on the table in the room.

"By the way, you go out for a while, I have to change my skirt first, this is dining etiquette, no peeping!" Lorna pushed the helpless Thor out of the room, closed the door, and quietly unplugged the sheepskin bag containing the drink......

It took a moment for Lorna, dressed in a dress, to open the door and let Thor sit down at the table again.

Then the two began dinner.

"This bean is really good, sandy and tender and sweet, come, you can taste it. Seeing Thor unplug the flask and pour the wine, Lorna enthusiastically pulled a bean chop onto Thor's plate.

"Well, thank you, but I'd like to have two drinks to moisten my mouth first. Thor thanked and raised his glass to a full sip.

Before he knew it, Thor had already drunk six or seven glasses of wine, but there was nothing unusual on the surface, and Lorna gradually looked puzzled, and even the speed of the meal subconsciously slowed down.

"What are you waiting for? waiting for the effects of the Frostleaf Grass to kick in, or are you waiting for your Dark Cross friends to rush in?" Thor smiled faintly, and his calm tone made it feel like he was talking about the weather.

But after he said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, and Lorna's hand at the table trembled suddenly.
