Chapter 16: A Dangerous Woman

"Even if it's a triple room, the Joates hostel is really comfortable. Old George stretched out when he woke up, saying that as a commoner, it was almost impossible to sleep on a soft bed, and most people lived in plank boats or slept directly on the ground, and there was rarely a chance to sleep on a fluffy bed like the Jootts' house.

"Yes? I couldn't sleep yesterday tossing and turning, it was so soft that it felt like it was falling down. Fishtail grumbled, yawning listlessly.

"Take care of the elderly, sleep this is just right. Old George got dressed, drank the hot milk provided by the hotel, which provided a whole pot of hot milk, and poured another cup and handed it to Fishtail and Abayrous, "You don't usually drink these things, by the way, do you want to add sugar?"

Fishtail took the milk with a lot of sugar and drank it all in one gulp, "I will have money in the future, so I must drink milk with a lot of sugar every day." ”

Abaylou smiled: "It's better not to do this, you'll get sick." ”

Although the breakfast was as simple as the three of them requested, it was still very richβ€”a whole smoked ham, a mountain of fried eggs, and sliced white bread. A slightly affluent commoner may be able to eat fresh meat on egg bread, but ham is absolutely impossible.

Such a piece of ham is also quite extravagant in the breakfast of the aristocracy.

Abaylou showed his excellent knife skills, this kind of ham is usually made of the hind leg of the pig, red and white when cut, and there is no fat of pork, and the unusually distinct fat and lean makes people appetite, he cuts each slice of the ham is thin and even, and when he picks it up, it drips with golden fat that has just been heated.

The cold ham is delicious, and it has a unique flavor when it is just heated.

"I want a slice of ham, this one looks so delicious. Fishtail wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, grabbed a piece of bread, a slice of ham, and two fried eggs, and ate them together.

"Stinky boy, how do you eat like this? ”

Joates knew how much Abylou was eating, and prepared so much breakfast, old George and Fishtail ate only a small portion, and most of it was given to Abylou.

The young man in charge of the reception downstairs asked the boss dissatisfiedly: "These three people seem to be just civilians, although one of them looks very personable, but he is only a mercenary...... Is it really good to give them all the ham for half a month??"

The boss put down the ledger and reprimanded: "Shut up, can we discuss the matter of Jots's master?"

The young man stopped talking, muttering in a low voice that the boss was "foolish" and "pedantic".

After eating enough, the three of them have something to do, old George wants to take the fishtail to find his old boss to rejoin the army, Abailou believes that old George will be able to re-enter the army, Abduby has fallen, as the sapphire kingdom along the coast of Abdubi, it must be the first person who needs to increase the strength of the army, hehe, these prisoners are not good stubble, and the old George who has military achievements is the person urgently needed by the royal family.

And Abailou himself wants to inquire about Jotz, he has too little information about this woman, no matter what, this woman is obviously not a simple aristocratic lady, Abailou has a hunch that this woman will have entanglements with him.

Coming to the Mercenary Guild in Sapphire King City, this is not a mercenary guild in a small place like Pearl Town, the layout is still two or three hundred square meters, and the layout is also spacious and atmospheric.

In fact, there are still a lot of people who are mercenaries, and not everyone is outstanding like ordinary people, and most of the time they need ordinary people like Fishtail to do things.

Of course, there is no way to do it when you die.

Abaylou didn't come to the Mercenary Guild to do business, but in its vicinity, a business in the gray area, an informant.

Mercenaries need intelligence, so you give money, and the tipster will give you the news, regardless of the reason.

It wasn't just mercenaries who came here, as soon as Abay Lou arrived at the "Fly House", that is, the unified name of all the intelligence agents, he saw a pot-bellied nobleman kicking open the already crumbling door of the Fly Hall in frustration, without any gentlemanly demeanor, and left with a scolding, "Bastard, I was so good to that woman, she actually asked my lover behind my back, I want them to die." ”

"Red Moon. Abay Lou went into the house, saw no one else, and opened his mouth to give a code.

"Black Cavalry. The man in the room immediately answered, "That rose." ”

"I can't figure it out. ”

The informant immediately laughed, "It turned out to be a distinguished guest from the coastline, welcome." I want to inquire about something here, and I won't tell you, there is nothing in Sapphire King City that I don't know, whether it's royal secrets or surrounding information, I know it......"

"I'd like to inquire about Miss Jotz, the one from the House of Daissan. ”

The informant's face fell, "The VIP price is five silver coins...... If I tell you about her, I will probably have my tongue cut out. ”

"Miss Jots, no, I should say Mrs. Joates ......"

Abaylou was amazed and said, "She's married?"

"Actually, no, but everyone secretly calls her Madame... She was a very feminine woman, like a femme fatale. ”

The informant said some basic information about Jotes before getting to the point, "His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daissan, wanted to pay tribute to the Holy See in Wangcheng five years ago, as for what to do, I think you also know, sir, after all, Qiaotz is a famous beauty in Wangcheng." ”

"Later...... The Daisan couple died, poisoned to death...... We thought it had something to do with Mrs. Jotz, but then she went to the Holy See, and Chief Bishop Hank loved her, uh, very much...", the informant said cryptically, "and then she was betrothed to the son of Bishop Hank, the Marquis of Hank, and his son was equally fond of her. ”

"The most terrible thing has happened," said the informant, "that Mrs. Joates is not the kind of woman who is stable, and she uses the influence of two men to frantically purge her enemies, and many nobles may be wiped out by her." Two-thirds of the underground forces in Sapphire King now belong to Mrs. Jotz. ”

"She's the Queen of the Underground......"

With a bang, the wooden door was smashed open, and a throwing knife flew towards the informant.

Abay Lou caught it casually and blocked it in front of the frightened informant: "The informant's mouth is not ...... to be ignored."

"Of course he can say whatever he wants, but I can also use my knife as I like. The visitor said that he had a mercenary badge pinned to his chest, a bald head on his head, and a long knife pinned to his waist.

"What if I don't let it?"

"Then I'll have to step on you to cut him. ”

Abaylou smiled sinisterly, "You can try." ”

The bald head drew his long knife and was eager to try, but Abay Lou still stood unmoved. The bald head shouted with a knife in his hand and rushed towards Abayr, followed by a burst of light that exploded, followed by a cloud of smoke.

It's a thief's flash potion, and smoke grenades. Blind your enemies, then cover your tracks with smoke grenades for a one-hit kill.

The bald mercenary looked at the intelligence agent who was at a loss in place, with a hideous smile on his face, hehehe, as long as he killed this person, he could have no worries for the rest of his life, and that woman also let me kiss Fangze, take the money, and let the woman who was high up lie on the ground, it was too cool, too close.

In the confusion, a hand grabbed his shoulder, and the strength was surprisingly great, like an iron pincer, and the rapid momentum of the bald mercenary suddenly stopped.

The intelligence broker who is obviously close at hand is like the end of the world.

"Pretending to confuse the enemy with a long knife is actually a trick of a thief assassin, the idea is not bad. Abaylou's voice came, like a ghost: "It's a pity to meet me, I'm sorry, I'm like that, I always talk a lot about people who are dying." ”

The bald mercenary stiffly looked back at Abay Lou, who was holding his shoulder, and showed an expression that looked like crying.

"Actually...... I'm joking. ”

"Me too, your head looks funny. ”

After a moment, Abailou wiped his hands and asked, "Is there a dark cloth bag, I'll give a big gift." ”

"Yes, yes. The informant shuddered and took out a black cloth bag.

"Don't worry, she won't trouble you again, I promise. Abaylou said to the tipster.

Holding a "gift" for Joates in his hand.
