Chapter 492: Secret Room Discussion
Early the next morning, I rushed to the adventurer's base to find Master Hall. (8) (1) δΈβ‘ζη½*.γ81.
When I was met, Master Hall was having breakfast, a bowl of porridge, an egg, a glass of milk, and a few plates of delicate-looking side dishes.
He beckoned me to sit down, and ordered another bowl, a pair of chopsticks, and a spoon filled with hot porridge.
I was not polite, picked up the spoon, drank the porridge directly, clicked it twice, and felt that the porridge did not taste at all, not only a little disappointed.
In my impression, such a high-powered person, even if he drinks porridge and eats steamed buns, he always has some different tricks.
"What's wrong?" Master Hall looked at me: "Isn't this porridge delicious?" β
I shook my head: "It's not tasty, it doesn't taste good at all." β
"It's not called tasteless, it's called light" Master Hall took a bite of a vegetable and chewed it carefully: "Only in this way is the most healthy and longevity method, like you young people, you usually love to eat big fish and meat, salty and oily, which will cause a burden to the body." β
"Your old education is," I look like a teachable student.
Master Hall laughed, didn't say much, and continued to chew slowly.
I followed his example and counted the grains of rice and began to eat.
This meal took me more than 20 meals, Master Hall picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, dispersed the waiter, and when only me and him were left in the room, he said, "Say, what is the matter with coming to me this time?" β
"What can I do?" I said, "Isn't that missing your old man?"
"Flam tongue" Master Hall laughed: "I knew from the beginning that your kid was not honest, and now I look at it, your kid is not honest than when we first met, I'm a bad old man, what's worth thinking about, don't go around me in circles there, say, what's the matter?" β
When I saw Master Hall ask like this, it was no longer convenient for me to continue to greet each other, so I had to make my intentions clear this time.
When Master Hall heard this, he nodded: "You said that you want to temporarily freeze the name of the guild and make the illusion that the guild has been wiped out, right?" β
I nodded: "Look, this ......"
"No problem" he patted his not very broad chest, and said, "It's easy to do this little thing, but I don't understand, why are you doing this?" β
I looked around, suddenly leaned down, whispered in his ear, "Master, is your room a secret?" β
When Master Hall heard this, he was silent for a while, and shook his head: "It's hard to say, although this is my office place, I can't guarantee that every waiter is completely loyal to me." β
"Then let's go to a secret place and talk," I said.
He nodded, "Okay." β
With that, he hurried away with me.
Out of the gate of the adventurer's base, Master Hall led me all the way.
I asked, "Where are we going?" β
Master Hall said: "Go to my house, there is a basement in my house, and I am the only one there who has the key, which is absolutely confidential. β
"Oh, go to your house" I replied and looked around, but as I walked, I was a little puzzled: "Master, isn't your house in the aristocratic district?" β
"Well, it's in the aristocratic quarter," Master Hall continued, "but there is also a house of mine in the plebeian quarter, which I purchased privately out of my own pocket for a gathering of friends. β
"And Master Dewey?" I asked.
"And Master Dewey," Master Hall affirmed.
The residence that Master Hall bought in the civilian area was inconspicuous both in terms of appearance and location.
I opened the door and walked in, the room was simply furnished and spotlessly clean.
Master Hall said: "This house doesn't have anything decent, doesn't it feel a little too simple?" β
I shook my head again and again: "It's okay, but it's really clean, enough to be spotless!" β
"Yes, I have nothing to do, so I'll come here to clean up, and it's a little entertainment after work."
As he spoke, Master Hall led me around a corner, lifted a floor, and to his behalf, an iron door was revealed.
I took out the key, inserted it into the keyhole, and twisted it a few times, only to hear a click, and the lock opened.
At the behest of Master Hall, I grabbed the handrail and pulled the iron door up.
I thought the iron door, which weighed more than 100 pounds, was opened effortlessly by me, which made me feel very surprised: "How can it be so light?" β
"Of course, do you think I'm going to forge a door out of all steel that I can't even pull up on my own?" Master Hall laughed, "It's just a wooden door wrapped in a Mithril shell. β
"Mithril?" I exclaimed, "That's a precious material for the outer shell of the gate...... Isn't it too extravagant? Moreover, the outer shell of this gate looks more like a layer of rusted ironwork. β
"Hmph, you don't understand that, young man," Master Hall explained, "this is a layer of fake paint that I put on it, just to give others a very heavy illusion. β
When I heard this, I was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Uh...... What are you working so hard to create this feeling? β
Master Hall smiled mysteriously: "Hey, hey, don't say, don't say." β
After entering the basement, after signaling that it was absolutely safe, I explained the ins and outs of the matter.
Master Hall pinched the beard on his chin and said, "Well, the second young master you are talking about is Carter Scott, the second son of the current city lord, right?" β
"Well, that's him."
"This Carter Scott, I have a little impression, I have heard rumors about him from his subordinates, he is a very gloomy and temperamental young man, this kind of young man, generally has strong ambitions, and is extremely conceited, you are right to freeze the name of the guild temporarily."
"I'm more worried about whether he will be blinded by the sheer ambition that will eventually lead to the entire city of Eri being plunged into a series of wars."
Master Hall thought for a moment: "If it is Carter Scott alone, then there is no need to worry at all, he does not have that ability, at least, the goblin clan and dwarf clan living in Eri City will not obey his orders, but if according to what you said before, if all the forces gather together, it will indeed form a more troublesome force." β
"Therefore, the top priority is to find a way to disintegrate and dissolve some other branches of power, and only in this way can the final losses be reduced."
"Well, there's some truth to what you're saying," Master Hall nodded, "and what about the collapse, how can you ensure that no new riot forces will grow?" β
"There is no guarantee of this," I said, shaking my head, "as long as the ambition and the moment are not extinguished, the coup will still happen, but the difference is the frequency and frequency of its occurrence." β
