Chapter 30: The Fire

Grenoble CBD, Grand Hotel Crystal King, midnight.

Yi Hui sat by the window of a dessert shop called "Honey and Brown Sugar" directly opposite the Crystal King Hotel, savoring a creamy marquiline, which was his supper.

At night, Grenoble is the only central business district with a similar nightlife. Theater theater nights of opera people will occasionally find a bite to fill their stomachs at roadside snack bars, drunk drunks will hook up to another shop for a second round, and even thieves will crouch in various locations waiting for their lone prey, provided they are agile enough to evade the night patrol of the City Guard.

Yi Hui was clearly a thief, at least ready to become one, and he was not squatting in the dark streets and alleys at this time to guard his prey. At this time, he was like an ordinary person, wearing a set of well-cut civilian clothes, sitting in this small dessert shop and eating snacks.

"Beauty, please recommend me another drink, not too sweet, this snack simply makes me ...... too 'sweet'." Yi Hui politely greeted the waitress.

The waitress was not very old, seventeen or eighteen, and Yi Hui's politeness made her more diligent. In her eyes, Yi Hui is like those young people who like to watch dramas until late at night, but such a young man is so alone?

"Your drink, shell almond dew, drinking this at night can restore a little refreshment" The waitress quickly served Yi Hui a glass of milky hot drink, the rich aroma just smelled Yi Hui and felt a burst of warmth transmitted from the tip of his nose to his chest.

"It's so fragrant......" Yi Hui took a small sip of it, and the almond juice did not add much sweetness according to Yi Hui's requirements, which made Yi Hui very satisfied.

Drinking a drink, Yi Hui looked out the window at the brightly lit Crystal King Hotel and couldn't help but sigh: "What a luxurious hotel." ”

"Yes, this is the number one hotel in Grenoble." I don't know when the waitress also sat next to Yi Hui.

Yi Hui looked at this playful and cute waitress with a smile and asked, "If you blow water during working hours and guests like this, won't the boss scold?" ”

"Anyway, there are no guests at this point, if it weren't for you here, we would all be ready to close." The waitress said with a smile and handed over a loaf of bread in the shape of a small animal. "Try it, I made it in my free time, I can't sell it, and it tastes good."

"Thank you." Yi Hui took the bread and took a bite. "Just baked? It's very fragrant. ”

At this time, the cashier behind the counter shouted something to the waitress, and the waitress quickly stood up and said, "Here it is." Then he turned his head to Yi Hui and said, "I'm going to help close, you eat first, oh yes, my name is Angela." After saying that, he jumped into the baking room.

When she came out to see again, Yi Hui was gone, leaving a gold coin and a note on the table, which read: "Thank you for the snacks." Yi Hui. ”

In the accounting room of the Crystal King Hotel, Bath is cleaning up the various accounts generated during the day. At this time, there are not many guests in the hotel, and all kinds of cocktail parties and banquets have ended, and it is time to clean up. Accounts were piled high on Bath's desk, and from the outside, only Bass's Mediterranean-haired head could be seen. Bass is the accountant at the Grand Hotel de la Crystal King, and has been sorting through these accounts late every night for more than a decade. "I really want to retire and go home!" Buzz often thought so, but Mr. Court always said, "Wait, let's be doing it for a few years, there aren't many people as reliable as you." Such words always made Buzz embarrassed to speak again.

Indeed, a hotel of this size always has an account on the surface and an account that you know, and the account on the surface is read by the tax officials, and the account that you know is not readable by anyone. In other words, Bath has to make two accounts a day. In fact, Bass also knew that it was impossible for someone like him to "know too much" to retire so soon.

After finishing the final payment project, Buzz stood up and stretched long, took off his crystal glasses, rubbed the sour glasses, and thought, "I can finally take a breath." ”

Just as he was tidying up his desk and getting ready to leave work, he suddenly heard chaotic footsteps in the hallway, as if there were still a lot of people.

Just as he was about to poke his head out to see the excitement, a hotel security guard hurriedly ran over and said breathlessly, "Mr. Bass, run away, ...... It's on fire. ”

"It's on fire!?" Mr. Bass hurried back to the accounting office to sort out the materials, ready to run with the materials.

"Oh, what kind of materials do you care, run away, life is the most important." The security guard dragged Mr. Buzz out of the hallway. By this time, the continuous fire had gradually spread here.

The accounting room is located on the first floor of the Crystal King Hotel, and if anyone observes the whole process of the fire, they will find that the fire is spreading from the third floor to the bottom! And it spreads down faster than it burns up.

Why is that?

Yi Hui put the lighter box in his arms, bowed his head and sighed: "Kung Fu is still not home." All this happened because of Yi Hui's handiwork. "Is it really that hard to burn a heart-shaped pattern like those light magics?"

After leaving the "honey and brown sugar", Yi Hui performed the "fraud magic" and directly entered the Crystal King Hotel, and he suddenly remembered a video he had watched, and he had the impression that several foreigners were playing Tetris with lights. Yi Hui didn't want to play that kind of high-level gameplay, but since he thought of this, Yi Hui decided to use the feature of "Fraud Magic" to be able to penetrate the wall and quickly point out a heart-shaped print on the window of the "Crystal King" Hotel, but because the "Fraud Magic" has an 11-second cooldown, it is not so accurate in this fire and time.

Yi Hui only thought about arson and didn't think of killing, so Yi Hui ordered one side of the "Crystal King" instead of the other. After doing everything, Yi Hui fled into the night with his back to the huge, irregular heart of flames.

"In that case, it's disgusting enough for that guy called Henry, isn't it? If you use money to oppress people, I will make you lose money! Yi Hui thought as he walked, and Yi Hui didn't stay to watch what happened after that, and he didn't need to watch it. If you're in a bad mood one day, come back to your house! ”

At this time, the firefighting movements behind him had nothing to do with him.

The next day, the whole city of Grenoble was shocked by the fire, and if there were any newspapers in the world, "Fire at the Grand Hotel 'Crystal King'" would be the headline. There were no casualties as the guests had dispersed that night, and the building was mostly built with stone materials.

Looking at the huge heart-shaped shape formed by the black smoke on the entire building, this small fire did not burn the building, and it could only play a disgusting role. Old Mr. Court was about to be blown up by this "black heart". This is a provocation, a naked provocation. It's good if you know who did it, the strong are soft, and the weak are defeated. But old Court now doesn't even know who did it, and no matter how well prepared the means of negotiation and retaliation are, they can't be used without a goal.

"Check! Check it out for me! Court, wielding a golden-handled and gloomy wooden staff of civilization, spat out a precious cigar that had taken less than two puffs. Pointing to the level 5 long sword warrior of the Court family's guard who stood by his side like a sword, Bodi said sharply: "Use all the open and secret family forces, use all the relationships that can be used, and find out who is taking revenge on our family!" ”

"Yes." Bodi didn't say much, turned and left, some of the guards stayed behind to protect the Court's family, and the rest followed Podi.

The chaotic scene of the "Crystal King" is now densely packed with investigators from the Public Security Department and the Fire Department. Because this fire came too strangely, and the effect of burning out was too child's play.

This is not the most headache for old Court, the most headache for Court is that the two accounts don't know where to throw when fighting the fire, this kind of thing is ten likely** is mixed in the firefighting crowd in the name of firefighting and rushed into the "Crystal King" to rob the thieves who took advantage of the fire, and if this kind of thing is exposed in the future, I don't know how many things are waiting for him to deal with. In short, going to the tax officer's mansion to drink tea, bleeding or something is indispensable.

Being able to cause this consequence was something that Yi Hui didn't expect, and at this moment he was receiving the income from the auction of the beast core of the white-headed black-backed ape from the mercenary union.

"Here is the auction proceeds, after deducting one-tenth of the related handling fees, a total of 45,000 gold coins, and here is the gold coupon issued by the Hanseatic Central Treasury, with a face value of 45,000, please keep it." The person in charge of the transaction personally delivered 9 gold coupons with a face value of 5,000 gold coins to Yi Hui's hands, and with these gold coupons, as long as there is a sub-treasury of the Hanseatic Central Treasury, it can be exchanged for gold coins, which is very convenient.

"Okay, thanks." Yi Hui didn't even click the gold coupon in his arms, he still had some integrity in coming to such a big organization as the mercenary union, and his move made the smile on the face of the person in charge of the transaction look better, because in the transaction, it means complete trust in the other party.

After more than a month of experience, Yi Hui has roughly marked the landform and other features on an area of nearly 30 square kilometers, I don't know what reward this "world exploration" mission will give him?
