Chapter 181: Shield Sword and Chad
Let's switch to the picture, about a week ago, at the time of the dance party at the War College, there was a very important thing that has not been explained, and I think you should guess that after leaving this ball, Shivana went to Piltover with Len, but after all this time, Zhao Xin never showed up, what did he do? And did he find Chad again?
So let's turn the clock back to a week ago.
This is Horant, the capital of Demacia, it is already early in the morning, and Demacia at night is exceptionally quiet, even a little girl walking on the street at this time will not feel afraid, this is Demacia, this is Holland, a place that makes criminals afraid, even if it is just stealing an apple from a fruit stand, as long as it is discovered, unless this person escapes from Demacia without sleep, otherwise as long as there is a moment of rest, when he wakes up from his sleep, You will find yourself in the prison of Demacia.
But obviously, Zhao Xin is not a little girl, and there will be no thieves or other criminals here, and there is only one reason why he appeared in this place at this time: Chad is here.
After the events of that night, Chad was properly treated by the medical magician, and with Chad's own good physical fitness, he fully recovered within a few days, but after recovering, Chad did not continue to do his duties as the head of Debang, and &1&本&read& the novel {.{ yb}{du}.} It disappeared completely into the palace.
So where exactly did Chad go? Not many people in the palace of Demacia knew about it, but it was clear that it was not Chad's purpose to disappear completely in front of everyone's eyes, he just wanted to disappear in front of certain people, and Sivana was one of the few who knew where Chad had gone.
Is the Sword and Shield Tavern ......? Zhao Xin knew about this tavern, but he only knew that the Second and Chad would occasionally come here for a drink or two, so why did he choose to come to this place after resigning from his position as the head of Debang? What secrets are hidden in this little tavern? Zhao Xin didn't know, at this time he just wanted to find Chade and ask clearly.
"Is this it?"
Zhao Xin had been here a few times with Chad and II, and although he was not familiar with the road from the palace to here, he was not unfamiliar with it, and after entering this alley, the tavern sign that was not conspicuous appeared in front of his eyes, but it was early in the morning, and the tavern had closed......
It seems that this is indeed the case, but as long as you look closely, you will find that the bright light is still leaking through the cracks in the door and the curtains, and after entering, you will hear more clearly, the crisp sound of wine glasses colliding and laughter are coming from this tavern, Zhao Xin stood at the door and was stunned for a while, and finally pushed the door open and walked in.
After pushing open the door, what appeared in front of Zhao Xin was such a scene: a group of people who seemed to have no connection with each other were sitting together happily touching wine glasses, this group of people was male and female, there was a big age gap, and the work they did was completely different, but this group of people knew in their hearts that there was only one reason for them to gather here, that is, they were all phantoms...... No, it should be said that it is the members of the former Phantom, and this party is also the first time they have met their partners for many years but have actually met for the first time.
"That...... Good evening, everyone, may I ask you...... Is Mr. Chad here? ”
It wasn't until he was watched by the people here with a slightly surprised gaze that Zhao Xin finally realized that he was still wearing the evening dress he wore at the dance at the War College, and it was inevitable that he would feel a little ...... to appear in such a tavern in such a formal dress Incongruous.
"Oh? Is such a handsome young man looking for Chad? I'm sorry, Chad is not here at the moment, if you have anything, the big sister can help you convey it~"
"Hey...... Your daughter is five or six years old now, right? Are you really okay like you used to be? ”
Looking at this beautiful woman with a black ponytail and a dark tight leather coat, Pedro, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, although he was a little surprised, but he still recognized this young man who had been here several times with Gavin II and Chad Chad here, he quickly stepped forward and pulled away the woman who had hooked Zhao Xin's shoulders and relieved Zhao Xin.
"What does it matter? Even if I have a daughter, I'm still me, what's wrong with that? Looking at Zhao Xin with a confused face, the beautiful woman couldn't help licking her lips, it was obvious that she was very interested in this ignorant teenager, but because of Chad's obstruction, she didn't make a decisive move.
"You have a point...... But at least don't do it for now, Lord Chad has something to talk to him about. Pedro had been dealing with the family for a long time, and he knew nothing was going to stop her from doing what she wanted to do - but not at least.
"Thank you, Mr. Pedro, that ...... Pls where is Mr. Chad? Seeing that this is the only person he knows here, Zhao Xin finally recovered a little from the chaos just now, and when he heard Pedro just mention that Chad wanted to talk to him, Zhao Xin was a little excited for a while.
"General, he is now ...... It's a little bit of a little thing to leave for a while, you wait here for a while, he'll be back soon. ”
"Oh...... Well. Although Pedro didn't say it explicitly, seeing the smile on his face, Zhao Xin also knew that it was indeed just a trivial matter, he nodded, sat down at the table very quietly, and waited unconventionally.
"Hey Pedro, since you let him sit at this table, why don't you tell us who he is?" Before Zhao Xin could sit down, a guy who looked drunk seemed to be joking and said seriously.
"Hmm...... It also makes sense, so let's introduce it, his name is Zhao Xin, and after the boss retires, he plans to let him take over his position. “
Smack-
Zhao Xin didn't want to reveal his identity, but before he could stop it, Pedro's sudden words made everyone stunned, and the crisp sound of the wine glass breaking was particularly obvious here, and everyone sitting here looked at this slightly young man with almost the same surprised eyes.
"Retirement...... Replace? His Excellency Pedro...... What does this mean exactly? Zhao Xin, who vaguely felt a little strange, immediately stood up, looked into Pedro's eyes and asked loudly.
"As I said, don't be so excited, young man, you ...... He's coming. ”
"Hey! What are you all doing here? Isn't it just that there is no alcohol......"
Chad's figure appeared at the door of the kitchen as if it had been calculated, carrying a large barrel of beer on his shoulder, a little weight that was insignificant to him, and as he looked at the astonished crowd and wondered, he found the answer at the other end of the table.
For these two people, there are different reasons but equally important meanings between the two sides, looking at this child who was almost raised by his own hands, for a person of Chad's age, it is almost like his own child, he looked at the young man in front of him who was staring at him with puzzled eyes, and seemed to have a lot to say, but after being silent for a while, he only smiled slightly, and said to Zhao Xin like an ordinary greeting: "Good evening Zhao Xin, is the previous task still smooth?" “
"Hey...... Hmm......" Zhao Xin didn't expect Chad to say this for a while, he looked at Chad in a daze, and after a while, he finally replied.
"The wine you asked for has been delivered, so I'll talk to this young man for a while, and I'll be back in a while." Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Chad also instantly understood something, he patted Zhao Xin's shoulder and motioned for him to come with him, and at the same time turned around and left the tavern.
"Mr. Chard, what the hell is going on? Why did you leave suddenly? I know there have been some conflicts between you and the boss, but ......" As soon as he walked out of the door, Zhao Xin immediately asked Chad as if he was impatient, no matter how young he was, he also guessed that Chard's departure was somehow related to the question he asked him before, why should he be loyal to Demacia...... No matter what you think about the purge of the spies, the question Chad asked at the time must have something to do with it, plus Lunn asked him and Xiu not to return to Horant, and the answer to everything is already clear.
Gavin II no longer trusted him, not even Chad.
"No, Zhao Xin, first of all, I would like to correct what you said, there is no 'contradiction' between me and him, only that there are differences of opinion in some aspects, and we both have the same purpose, and secondly, I did not suddenly choose to quit this job, as I told you before...... I'm not that young to take on the job of steward. ”
Is that really the case? Although Zhao Xin remembers that a few years ago, Chad had said that he was a little unable to do his job as a manager, but choosing to resign from this job at such a special time always made people feel a little concerned.
"Okay then...... Even if that's what you say, you could use it more ...... Announcing your resignation in a more open and honest way, and choosing to leave there in silence is not equivalent to telling everyone that you chose to resign because you did something wrong......"
That's what they might think...... But so what? ”
"Hey......?"
Looking at Chad, who looked indifferent, Zhao Xin was a little confused for a while, why did this man who was regarded as a teacher like this......
