Chapter 166: The Choice of Chess Pieces
Although the personality is very good, it is still a lot of pressure to be with a real aristocratic lady, for example, in this small action just now, Clarence must pay great attention to it, exhale...... From Claire's unsightly angle, Clarence sighed quietly and tiredly.
After jumping off the muddy ground, Clarence was a little irritated to find that the tires were stuck in a quagmire, because of the rain, the wet mud had nowhere to borrow, who should help in this kind of country place? He looked around and fell into a new annoyance.
"That...... Lord Clarence? Are you having any trouble? Do you need my help? ”
Looking at his troubled expression of scratching his head, Claire cautiously leaned out of the car window and asked, Clarence quickly shook his head, he can't let this aristocratic lady's shoes get covered with mud, I hope this wheel is not stuck in it, if you lift it hard, maybe you can lift the body up......
"Hey! Need help, young man? ”
Just when Clarence was ready to brush his boots at night, a man's voice mixed with the roar of machinery came from not far away, he looked up and saw that a farmer was driving a strange farm machine that might have been designed by himself to drive here, although he didn't know what the use of this strange machine was, but listening to the roaring engine, he could feel the powerful power, Clarence hurriedly walked up [a] [book] [read] the novel YBDU asked him for help: "Hello sir, My car is stuck here, can you help us tow it out? ”
Clarence glanced at Claire, who was sitting in the car, as he walked towards the farmer, and he wouldn't let his guard down, no matter how much the person in front of him looked like an ordinary Zaun farmer.
"No problem, I happen to have a jet thruster here, your car can be ...... with a slight modification"
"Wait a minute, sir! No...... No need to go through the hassle, just pull my car out! ”
"Really? That's right, your car doesn't look that strong, and I still have some tracks here, although it's old, but don't worry about the run-in. ”
"No...... I really don't have to bother you so much, you just need to pull my car out with a rope! ”
"Huh? That's all? The farmer, who had already taken out the tools from the trunk, was stunned for a moment, and he seemed to look at the large toy in front of him with some reluctance, which had not been modified in any way, as if he felt a pity, but since the owner said so...... He didn't insist anymore "Okay then...... Help me get these solid fuel rods out, I think there should be rope in there......"
Are all the farmers in Zaun monsters...... Clarence couldn't imagine what kind of magical machine he would have converted this ordinary jeep into, and after stopping him twice, the farmer finally chose the most ordinary way to solve the problem, and Clarence breathed a sigh of relief and followed him to the back of the strange machine.
"Alright, young man...... This is the rope you want" After rummaging through the trunk of all sorts of strange machines for a while, the farmer finally found a suitable rope "Tie this to your car, remember to tie it tightly, the noble lady can't stand such bumps, right?" “
Buzz-bell!
Almost immediately after the farmer's words fell, Clarence almost immediately drew the two short knives hidden behind his back, Claire was just wearing ordinary clothes, how did he know her noble status? Just as Clarence was about to force him to tell the truth, the seemingly ordinary farmer easily blocked his attack with the wrench in his hand: "Oh oh! Young man, you don't have to be so excited, I'm just accepting someone's commission to tell you something, the wall has ears, I have to find a safe place, it's Ortorre, can you be sure that this girl doesn't have some kind of secret? “
This...... Was he afraid of Claire? Although it is true to say this, Clarence, who is holding a short knife, feels a little embarrassed, he is afraid that Claire will be in danger, and the object of his vigilance is wary of Claire, his vigilance is not without reason, but ......
After struggling for a while, Clarence withdrew his knife, still looking at him vigilantly and said, "It should be safe enough here, then, who is going to tell me something?" “
"Let's leave it at that......" The farmer looked around, and then handed a letter from his bosom to Clarence, "This is the letter that Kanin gave you, you can open it and look at it first." “
“…… Kanin? ”
What's going on here? Why did Kanin know he was here, and why would he take the initiative to find himself if, as Burnham had said, he was working on some kind of little project? Looking at the letter in front of him, Clarence didn't even dare to take it for a while, but just stood there and looked at it hesitantly.
"Are you trying to ask him why he's looking for you? 'Well, 'if he asks me how I know he's here, then tell him it's a kind gesture from someone who might be his future ally', that's Kanin's exact words, so please hurry up and read this letter, I'll have to fill in that hole again after pulling your car out, and besides, the owner of this amazing machine doesn't want to rent out his invention for too long! ”
"So it's your masterpiece?" Hearing this, Clarence couldn't help but shout loudly, although according to the atmosphere, he shouldn't complain like this, but looking at the appearance of the person in front of him, and what he said, Clarence really couldn't get nervous, could this be regarded as some kind of conspiracy? Was this really some kind of plan on the part of that Kanin? He couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart anymore and opened the envelope.
That's probably what the letter says.
Dear Clarence,
I'm glad you're here, right now, I'm in a big trouble and need help, but I can't find someone to trust in Zaun, please help me, I'm in this building in front of you right now, please come to me when it's safe to do so.
P.S. Please help me as well as ruin this letter.
Your friend Kanin.
The building in front of you? When he saw this sentence, Clarence subconsciously raised his head, and what appeared in front of him was an inconspicuous building, and in one of the rooms, he vaguely saw the shadow of a person leaving from the windowsill, that was Canin ......? Wrong...... Wait a minute, this seems to be completely different from what Burnham said, judging from this letter, Kanin is simply a man in danger, and he is waiting for Noxus to rescue, is this another plan of Kanin, or is it Burnham's heart? Clarence wasn't sure, he just stared at the room, and tore the letter in his hand to shreds and stepped into the dirt.
……
That night.
"Good night Miss Claire, I'm sorry to let you live in this kind of place, we have some problems with our car and we have to repair it, please understand."
"Please don't care so much about Lord Clarence, it's a novelty here, isn't it? You don't have to blame yourself so much, well, good night. “
As this sentence represents, Clarence has no reason to leave like this, Canin may be not far in front of him, he must at least confirm it, after making an excuse, Clarence found an ordinary house to settle Claire, although he was unwilling to do so, but out of the task he could not do it, he could only wronged Claire to live in this kind of ordinary people's house for one night, after confirming that she was asleep, Clarence left the family alone and set off for the building where Canin was.
With two enchanted daggers, about a dozen daggers, and a handful of various bombs, Clarence was ready for anything, hoping that what he had learned through that codex in the past few days would help...... He said to himself, walking down the night path, Clarence watched the room in the building with lights moving rapidly.
There was no sense of magic, the door to the building had long been closed, only one person was still awake in the entire building, the rest were already asleep, and after approaching the building, Clarence's newly mastered skills immediately came in handy, was Canin under house arrest here? He guessed so, and after making sure that no one had found him, he carefully unlocked the normal door lock and quietly infiltrated the building.
With the help of perceptual magic, Clarence quickly found the room where Kanin might be, there was also no sense of magic here, but it could not be ruled out that Kanin would use some kind of instantaneous magic on him, Clarence drew his short knife, and at the same time used interference magic to prepare for defense, and when everything was ready, he gently pushed the door open.
……
Even though he had pushed them away, the cautious Clarence still didn't rush in, he just stood cautiously on the outside of the door frame, dodging the attacks that might be prepared, but it was clear that his caution seemed to be superfluous this time, and there was no magic or weapon aimed at him in the door, only a ......
Frail old man ......?
"Dear Clarence...... Ahem...... Is that you? Don't be afraid, these people are already asleep...... Cough...... Thank you for believing in me. ”
This is...... Kanin's voice? That's right, but what sounds so weak? Clarence cautiously poked out half of his head and glanced at it, and what appeared in front of him was an old man lying on the bed, was this really Kanin......? Clarence couldn't believe what he saw, this old scheming guy would only let his enemies lie in bed to recuperate, who could hurt him?
