Chapter 48: Lies
……
Fifteen minutes later.
"Welcome back."
The waiter said this to each guest, and what made him a little puzzled was that the expressions of these people were quite complicated, and in this complexity, dissatisfaction accounted for the majority, which was a rare expression among the guests of the Black Rose, and of course the waiter could not know what had just happened below, and he could only receive each guest with the smile he was used to.
As the last guest left the lower casino, the waiter finally breathed a sigh of relief, although it was affected by the previous military actions for a while, but in the end fortunately there was still a thrilling completion of tonight's task, the current time is about three o'clock in the morning, the meeting ended a lot earlier than expected, after cleaning up here, you can go home......
Wait, did you forget something, the waiter suddenly remembered that there were several newcomers who had just passed among the waiters tonight, what was their situation? Because of the tense scene just now, the waiter almost completely forgot about these people, and he quickly put down his work and began to look for these young people.
These people are not hard to find, they are not full members of the Black Rose after all, and if you want to be paid or gain trust, it is definitely not a wise choice to leave here now.
"You, you, and your ......" The waiter counted the number of people, and after counting them several times, the number of people in his memory was always less {one + book} reading} novel ybdu alone, after recalling it carefully, the expressionless teenager didn't seem to appear here, where did he go? The waiter was a little worried, in all sorts of ways.
"You wait here for a moment, I'll go find him."
After the guests had left, there was no one else on the floor but the waiters, and it was not difficult to find one, unless he had left early, and the waiter asked a magician, who guided him back to the front of the dressing room.
"Hey boy, you just ......"
"Ah...... Sorry......"
On one side of the room, Zhao Xin was sitting there in a daze, the white shirt he was wearing had been torn into strips of cloth, and the bandages on his arms had oozing red.
"What's wrong with you? What just happened? For the scene in front of him, the waiter walked up with some surprise and leaned down to check Zhao Xin's injury.
"Nothing...... It's just a little cut, just now when I was in a stalemate with that group of guys, there was just a little friction" The sudden appearance of the waiter made Zhao Xin stunned for a moment, he smiled weakly, and at the same time moved his arm to signal that it was okay "I'm really sorry to tear this clothes, because everyone seemed to be busy just now, so I took care of it myself, if I need compensation......"
"It's okay, it's just a piece of clothing...... Seeing that Zhao Xin had no problem, the waiter was relieved, but his companion was cut, and he didn't plan to give up so easily, after turning his head to look outside, he lowered his voice and said to Zhao Xin, "Do you remember the person who did it?" If you remember...... You know. ”
"Forget it, that guy...... And his companion, it shouldn't be much better than me now" Zhao Xin grabbed the waiter, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Then tonight's mission should be over, can I go and get my own bounty?" ”
"You guy...... How could the waiter, who has been working here for many years, not understand what Zhao Xin meant, this kid doesn't look big, but he is a ruthless guy...... The waiter couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and at the same time took out a card from his pocket, this was the card that the proprietress gave to Zhao Xin at that time, and now on the back of this card, it has been printed with the coat of arms of black roses, "This is proof that you have completed the task, you can take this to the person who gave you the task in exchange for your reward, but before that, you better go to treat it first, our healing mage skills here are quite good, you ......"
"No need, this little injury is nothing to a mercenary, it's a good night, that ...... If you don't mind, can you give me this outfit? ”
"No problem." The waiter patted him lightly on the shoulder and watched him leave.
Ten minutes later, inside that small bar.
"Welcome...... Is that you? This dress suits you well, is the task done? ”
Obviously, Zhao Xin was not injured at all just now, and the red marks on the bandages were just wine that Zhao Xin found from other rooms, and the reason why he did this was just to add an extra layer of insurance to his actions just now.
"Hmm...... That should be fine, right? Zhao Xin took out the card from his pocket and handed it to the proprietress .
"Okay, you've completed the task, and the materials you want are ready, so what are you going to do with the rest of the bounty?"
Zhao Xin didn't answer immediately, he stood silently and thought about it, and finally raised his head and asked softly: "About five years ago, there was a marginal farmstead near the city of Isern that was bloodied by robbers, this should be recorded in the army, I want information about this matter, if the money is not enough, please continue to give me other tasks." ”
"Is there a record of robbers......? The price of this kind of unimportant file is not high, but it is also because it is not an important file, and we do not record it in our own database, so we need to contact a friend in Issern to investigate, which may take some time, will you leave the city in the next few days? ”
"Possibly." Zhao Xin didn't know what Xiu's next plan would be, and whether he would continue to stay in the city to investigate.
"Okay then" The proprietress nodded, she opened the drawer and fiddled with it twice, stretched out her hand and handed a metal coin to Zhao Xin, "This is our special token for black roses, no matter which city you are in the black rose bar, you can use it, the boss there will hand you the corresponding information according to the records in the coin, this is your bounty after deducting two information fees, is there any other need?" ”
"That's it, thank you." Zhao Xin nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the bar.
A few minutes later, inside the hostel.
"You're back?"
When Zhao Xin pushed open the door, Xiu, who was originally lying on the bed, had returned to the meditative posture he was used to, and he sat cross-legged on the bed like this, for Zhao Xin, who disappeared tonight, Xiu was the same as he thought, and he didn't care where he went at all.
"Hmm...... I went and tried to gather some information. Zhao Xin himself was also half a magician, he knew that Xiu was using magic to talk directly to him at this time, and being able to do this also meant that he had recovered most of his life.
"yes, that's really hard work, so did you get any useful information?"
"I didn't get much useful information, but I got some unexpected gains, the Noxus higher-ups seem to be at odds with Black Rose, and the situation may be more complicated than we thought."
"Black roses? Having heard my father say that their influence in Noxus was no worse than that of Burnham, can you be sure that this news is true? ”
"I'm sure Black Rose seems to want to get Noxus to League of Legends, but Burnham doesn't think so, Prince, what should we do next?"
"This ......" Xiu hesitated, he could easily go deep into the place to search for information, but as I said before, he was just a magician at heart, and he had no talent in these aspects at all" I think it was better to tell my father about these things first, and then collect information on other aspects according to the predetermined plan...... How's that? ”
"I have no opinion, but Your Highness the Prince, can you ask someone from the Intelligence Department to give us some information about the top of the Black Rose? Since the Black Rose can influence Noxus, knowing a little more about them should also help us in our investigation. ”
"Huh? Is it? You should have more say than I do in these areas, just do what you say. Xiu didn't have any doubts about Zhao Xin's proposal, and simply agreed.
