Chapter Seventy-Five: Hunters? Prey! under
"That's a good strategy, now the number of people we want to keep an eye on has more than tenfold!"
Standing on a bell tower of the Nosd family, with his superhuman strength, Ye Qi took in all the things that happened in the wizard secret city below, and couldn't help but shrug his shoulders at the moment - although it seems that the cause of the stall owner is the stall owner, and then, the 'eyes' began to tell everything he knows, but who can guarantee that the stall owner is not a 'puppet' who acts obediently and is covering for the real 'connector'?
"Our people are good enough to deal with this situation!"
Jacob, who found out about the same situation, was still full of confidence.
"For our people, of course, I have faith; But the problem is that our people are only in charge of the Nosd family manor, except for the people who will hand over the manor to the Holy See, and the people of the highest government who enter Rantingburg are in charge, such a three-stage order, I am afraid that the people behind will make mistakes! ”
Ye Qi's eyes were on the 'show' that was still going on below, but the tone of his speech was obviously not really there on the surface - for Ye Qi, both the people of the Holy See and the people of the highest government lacked trust, the former because of their position, the latter because of their ability; Maybe they will do their best in such an incident that concerns the reputation of the three parties, but this does not mean that they will be willing, and there will be resistance in their hearts; And such resistance can easily turn into mistakes; And in the face of such a cautious and cunning opponent, as long as there is a mistake, it will definitely be noticed and used by the other party.
"The witchers are responsible for the security of the Norsd family estate, and the black deacons and priests with knives of the Holy See are responsible for the security of the roads to and from them. The Supreme Government is responsible for security in Landenburg. The Norsd family and the wizards worked together as reserves; This is the result of last night's deliberations. Generally speaking, it is quite 'adapted to local conditions', after all, the military and police like the highest government naturally have an advantage in Landingburg! ”
"And you can't let the Holy See guard the Northstead manor, can you? It's not just that the people of the Nosrid family won't agree, but even if they come to participate in the Wizard's Secret City like this, they won't enter when they see a group of people from the Holy See guarding here, right? ”
Jacob smiled helplessly. looked at Ye Qi.
"Of course I understand this, but this way of working with the Holy See and the Supreme Government always makes me feel uncomfortable!" Facing Jacob, Ye Qi did not hide it, but truthfully said his most appropriate feelings.
"I don't like the cooperation with the Holy See and the Supreme Government, but we must learn to endure it!" Taking a long breath, Jacob's words were full of exclamation: "Lorante's current peace is based on such helpless containment, but it is precisely because of this containment that the final development has been achieved; The dominance of any one force is a disaster for the others. This is the truth that history tells us! ”
"Even if we witchers are the same!"
The last sentence. Jacob's tone was full of meaning; In this regard, Ye Qi nodded silently, acknowledging the other party's point of view - the rulers who are praised are always the first group of people, and when their children and grandchildren appear in that position, they will only bring complaints and insults, until the final demise; Ye Qi, who is well aware of the changes, naturally will not object to Jacob's statement.
"Get used to this way of working together! After all, it was because of this cooperation that they were able to repel those dark creatures in the first place! ”
"As long as they don't play tricks or hind their backs, I won't mind!"
Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders and stopped dwelling on this topic, glanced at the crowd that had dispersed around the stall because of the 'end of the performance', and he said with a smile: "It seems that it will be a while before my 'bait' appears!" ”
"The protagonist, always have to be the last to play!"
Jacob pointed to the crowd below, and said with a relaxed face: "Anyway, the stage has been set up, are you still worried that your supporting role will not appear?" ”
……
In Landingburgh, in a remote hotel, the owner of the hotel is diligently wiping the tables in the hall - this is a relatively small hotel, the bar to welcome guests, the dining hall, and the reception hall are all completed in a large room, especially the owner of the hotel in order to appear neater, made several partitions, so that people who enter it feel more and more narrow.
Hotels like this are not too much to say in Landingburgh, and not too much to say less; Relying on the blessing of Landing Castle itself as half a tourist town, whenever Lorente enters the winter, there will always be a group of people who choose to come to Landing to spend the long winter - compared to the high level of fees of Shak, this place is undoubtedly more favored by ordinary people, especially such a small hotel, because of the relatively low price, the room reservation will be received in advance.
However, in normal times, except for the really not wealthy, ordinary people would not enter such hotels; As a result, during the year, the innkeeper devotes himself to running the inn during the winter months, and spends the rest of the year working as a chef in a restaurant to support his family.
But this year it was a bit strange that just after midsummer, a large number of guests arrived in Landingburgh, and they were caught off guard by the innkeepers - although they were rivals, they were sometimes cooperative; For example, during a peak tourist season, join forces to raise room rates.
Of course, this is only for some of the living; Not for the real regulars, because these regular customers who come every year stay for two months or even longer, which is enough time for these innkeepers to know what to choose; Everyone understands the truth of the long stream.
"Gentlemen, your lunch is ready, do you need me to serve it to you?"
After wiping the table clean, and setting up a flower filled with an unknown number of flowers that had just been plucked from the flower pond in his backyard, but blooming enough, the innkeeper stood at the top of the stairs and shouted—not that he did not want to go up, but that the three guests had given special orders; Although for three guests to charter themselves the entire second floor of five rooms practice. And such commands. The innkeeper felt strange. But the other party did not lose a child in the room money, and still paid directly for two weeks at once, but the innkeeper put away his curiosity.
As the owner and chef of a hotel, this middle-aged man knows very well what to ask and what not to ask; What's more, in front of the coin, he knows more about what he should do-
Crunchy......
Taller and more athletic than the average person. Stepping on the wooden staircase, a slightly harsh sound sounded; The innkeeper couldn't help but look at his staircase—if he was displeased with the three guests, it was undoubtedly this tall, muscular man, who couldn't help but look hideous, and every time he came down or up his staircase, he always worried that his staircase would die of a storm after fifteen years, even if he had planned to renovate it three years earlier.
After all, being able to save a child is a child.
"It's your lunch!"
A full lunch of eight people was placed on two plates. The tall, muscular man glanced at it, then pulled a Kimpton out of his pocket and placed it on the table. Then, one by one, he picked up each plate, which required the care of an adult to hold, and walked back upstairs step by step.
Although there was a 'creaking, crunching' sound between the weight and the wooden board again, when he saw the Kimpton, the innkeeper held it in his hand with a smile on his face, and then carefully placed it in his pocket—this lunch, the raw materials only cost more than sixty yuan, and the chef who handled it was him, so there was no cost at all; In other words, the remaining more than 130 yuan are all his tips.
If I can meet such generous guests every time, it won't be a few years before my hotel can be expanded!
And that stinky boy can also come back safely to inherit the family business, without having to go to the docks of Sass Port, suffer!
With such a beautiful idea, the innkeeper quickly walked towards the kitchen - although there was still some time before dinner, he decided to make the most of his craft in order to get more tips; And that's going to take a lot of work.
And just as the innkeeper had entered the kitchen, there was a writhing in the shadow of the hall, near the corner of the interior wall, and a moment later a figure appeared there; Glancing in the direction of the kitchen, the figure walked towards the second floor, and the stairs that had not been stepped on before were not 'creaking, crunching' this time, but there was no movement at all, and not only the stairs, but also the movement of the figure was also without any sound, as if it were a real shadow.
"There was no one around, I had already checked it when I went down; And in such a place, is there still a need for such caution? ”
When the figure entered a room on the second floor, the big man with a hideous face who had served lunch in the afternoon said casually while eating lunch.
"This is the boss's order, if you mind, you can go and give advice to the boss!"
The figure from before, after taking out a lunch from the plate, replied coldly.
"You!"
The big man with a hideous face immediately widened his eyes, and his already hideous face became even more terrifying at the moment, and he already had the ability to scare the faint of heart into crying; And on the clenched fists, the green tendons burst out, making people have no doubt about the strength of the fists.
And the figure from before was still eating lunch unhurriedly, but at the cuffs of his hands, there was a flash of metallic cold light; A touch of murderous intent appeared on his body, locking on the weakness of his target.
Originally, it was just a simple lunch, but under the disagreement between the two, it became a battlefield where the conflict was about to start.
"Calm down, two!"
The man in the room, who had not spoken, stood up, walked between the two men, and persuaded them with a smile: "Since everyone has been assigned to a group by the leader, they are temporary companions; As companions, we not only have to work together, but we also have to do a better job than the other group and impress us! ”
"Prettier than the other group?"
The big man with a hideous face said angrily: "How can we be more beautiful than the other group?" With that multi-faced monster, they've been there since yesterday. The 'smoke bomb' that has been released by the head. No less than 10 deals have been made! And what about us? That is, to take advantage of the unnoticed. Done it in two...... Seriously, it's a lump sum, after all, those two people are walking together! ”
"Especially today, all the passages leading to the Norsd family are lined with open and secret posts of the Holy See, and we can't find an opportunity to do it! What a damn thing! ”
Speaking of the worst, the grumpy man swung his fist straight away, sending a reverberate of air like a whirlwind in the room.
"Quantity is not everything!"
Persuaders. He said with great confidence: "Sometimes ten things add up, and they are not as valuable as one thing!" In the same way, their frequent shots may not be comparable to our actions! ”
"What exactly did you get the message? Say it! ”
The big man with a hideous face and a short temper obviously noticed the meaning of the person in front of him at this time - although he didn't like this guy with a knife in his smile, he had to admit that the other party always had some way to get them out of trouble; He is the most cunning of men except for the head; This is a recognized fact in their line.
"In the internal market auction of the Wizard Secret City today, something special has appeared......
After laughing and groaning, he told the story of what happened in the city of Wizard Secret this morning. This one looks ordinary, and the dress is also ordinary. It's just that the man with his eyes rolling and looking very treacherous looked at the two people in front of him and asked, "Do you understand what to do?" ”
"Robbed that one named Finger!"
The big man with a hideous face and a short temper shouted directly.
"But the other party is in the Manor of the Northd family, how should we start?"
The figure from before asked.
"The deadline for us to return to the last place is the day before the end of the Wizarding City, isn't that enough time for us to discover the weakness of this Mr. Finger?" The treacherous man, his eyes rolled, and said, "Of course, the fellows from the other group will definitely receive the same news; After all, the information provided by the boss is always fair! ”
"That group has that Thousand Faces monster, and it will definitely have an advantage over us!"
Wearing a hood, the figure that covered his true face put down the food in his hand, and aimed at the treacherous man with the shadow that should have existed in the facial parts, and a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly appeared in the shadows.
"Monster them? It's just a bunch of lucky guys who got off to a good start! If we give them some trouble, they ......" Under the glare of these scarlet eyes, the cunning man looked as usual, and there was no change; Instead, it is a matter of paragraphs; However, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the big man with a hideous face.
"Boss, the rules set are not allowed to be infighting!"
"That's when the boss found out!" The cunning man, who seemed full of confidence, said with a sinister smile: "And we are not infighting, but just to cause them a little trouble; We don't need to make a move, the streets are all looking for those two 'unintentionally' revealing existences at the moment! ”
"Are you sure the boss won't notice that we did this?"
Although he was still suspicious, the big man with a hideous face undoubtedly showed that he agreed.
"Of course I can't be sure, after all, nothing can be hidden!"
After saying that, the treacherous man laughed gloomily: "But we can do it skillfully enough that the Thousand Faces can't notice that we did it!" If no one investigates, there will naturally be no punishment, and according to the rules of the leader, he will naturally not take the initiative to remind the thousand-faced monster! ”
"So, what do we do?"
The big man with a hideous face who had already agreed to this method in his heart seemed impatient at the moment; Although the man wrapped in the shadow of the cloak did not take the initiative to speak, the two who knew him undoubtedly understood that this was a tacit acquiescence.
"Of course we've found these guys who are temporarily ahead of us!"
As he spoke, the treacherous man looked at the man who was wrapped in the shadow of his cloak; The latter nodded slightly and said, "Leave it to me!" ”
With that, the whole person walked out of the door.
……
"Hmph, the stupid big man must have been so angry that he screamed at this time!"
"Maybe you'll be chased by the Demon Hunters, the Holy See, and the Supreme Government!"
"They deserve it!"
"Come, celebrate our victory!"
One person, two men who looked very similar, obviously twins, sat on either side of the table, raised the wine glasses in their hands, and touched them vigorously; With a 'ding' sound, the ale in the glass tumbled up the glass, splashed out of the rim and poured around, but the two of them gulped it without realizing it.
As they say, it's a celebration of their victory.
"Isn't it too early to celebrate the victory?!"
A voice appeared in the midst of the two men's celebrations, causing the twin brothers to glare angrily at the man, even if the other was the one who gave them the advantage they had now.
