Chapter 195: The Old Job

Walking west along Myrtle Street in the villa area, Draenor took out his pocket watch and saw that it was only a quarter past four o'clock, and there was still plenty of time.

"Let's rest for a while, seeing that you are busy enough to wake up early in the morning, eat something first?" Cooper pointed to the side of the pavement.

It was a barbecue restaurant, with a funnel-shaped smoker almost upside down on the stove, thick smoke filling the shop all around, and the proprietor in a white apron picked up the meatloaf with a thin sword-like skewer, which tossed in the air for a few weeks before turning around and landing on the stove.

"Well...... "I have to stick my chest against my back, I knew that I ate a little more at the Hydrangea Hotel yesterday!" Draenor tightened his belt and walked towards the rotisserie.

Leaning against the door of the shop, he could smell the tempting aroma, the fat was turned into soup under the charcoal fire, and the boss took out a spatula from under the table, cut a few slices of the wide cheese by the stove, and wrapped them in crepes, waiting for the new meatloaf to be baked.

"Brother, do you want a cabal roll?" The boss smiled and deliberately placed the cheese slices by the nearest fireside to Delano.

Who can withstand this...... But it seems that such a luxurious delicacy is definitely not cheap, Draenor subconsciously touched the money bag, and his brows were unnaturally locked.

"How much?"

"Five deli one, today is the weekend eight or eight percent off, only four and a half deli."

It's expensive!

Draenor squeezed his eyes, it was worthy of a rich residential area, and the price of four barbecue rolls was equivalent to a meal at the Hydrangea Restaurant.

Shouldn't the discounted price be four and a fifth of a deli? However, can the eight-eight-fold fold be understood as two eight-fold ...... So it's equivalent to six folds! The corners of Draenor's mouth rose slightly, but after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't intend to export this idea of disappointment, so he simply took out nine gold coins from his money bag and handed them to the boss's hand

"Take two."

The two sat down on a bench on the street with a meat roll wrapped in brown paper, and Cooper opened his mouth to chew it.

"Can you pay a little attention to your appearance?" Draeno looked at the gobbling Cooper and sighed, no matter how much he had to taste the food unique to the rich area. Look at the silky cheese, it's all gold!

"It's the last day of the workday, why don't you treat yourself to how you can work in the future!?" Cooper wiped his mouth with his sleeve and crumpled up the empty kraft paper and threw it in the trash

"Didn't that boss this be the weekend?" Draenor asked Cooper as he took a bite of the meat roll.

"Don't bring Canaanite to Nagseus, where the inhabitants are accustomed to regard the last day of the working day as the weekend, and Saturday and week as the beginning of a new week. So when you hear the word 'weekend', you need to ask which one exactly it means. ”

"It's really a novelty...... So what's next? Let's go to Violet Street first? "This meat roll does taste good, but it's definitely not worth the high price of five deli! Delano was a little disappointed with the experience, but shifted his mind to business.

"Hiccup—let's finish our food first, Violet Avenue isn't too far, and you can get there before six o'clock just by walking." Cooper burped and crossed his legs to Draenor.

"Do you have any misunderstanding of the word 'far'......"

Draenor covered his face and muttered, glancing to his side twice, and the gazes cast by the passers-by around him made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He knew that he should not be in the wealthy area of Kerton just as a foreigner, and the fact that he was still a vagrant would not change even if he paid a lot of money to rent a house and experience the life of an upper-class person.

"When you're done with this, you'll have to find a decent job...... Lead the way. Draeno swallowed the last bite of food, tossed the brown paper into the bucket, and followed Cooper towards the center of Certon.

Two o'clock later, the two stopped at the intersection of Violet Street.

"Six-fifteen, a little later than expected." It's been almost 10 kilometers...... Draenor bent down and rubbed his knees, looked left and right for a while, and his eyes fell on an alleyway near the photo studio, and he reached into his coat pocket, touching the soft letter and walking towards the alleyway.

It was only in such a gloomy environment that he could be guaranteed not to be noticed by the people around him, and although this seemed a bit redundant, he watched carefully for a moment as Gelaya had asked, and finally opened the wax seal of the letter.

"Dorican?" He looked at the familiar text and wondered, it seemed that Gelaya was well prepared, and even considered his own language barrier in advance.

"'Time: 40 p.m., Location: Room 217, 18 Violet Avenue, Pandan Hotel...... 'What does she want me to do?'

Delaeno looked across the road at the brightly lit hotel, and suddenly had a sense of foreboding, and his intuition told him that what was going to happen was definitely not a serious job.

"Shhhh Don't let anyone around you hear it......" Cooper glanced behind him, turned back to Draeno and bent down, stood on tiptoe and leaned into his ear and continued, "I've passed, Mikhail's old thing has something bad, this job is very risky, but you don't have to be too anxious, after all, the pay is more reasonable......"

"......' entered the hotel first, handed the prepared card to the front desk, and told him that he was a guest on the second floor...... 'My old.' Draenor felt like he was part of some sort of puzzle game, but he didn't expect it to be surprisingly complicated.

"Do what she wrote, it won't go wrong!" Cooper patted Draenor on the back, then turned and walked towards the hotel opposite. After walking a few steps, he noticed that Draenor was still frozen, so he turned his head and shouted at him, "Do you still want money!?" ”

"......" still has to eat, no matter what, I have to try it first. Draenor nodded reluctantly and followed Cooper towards the Pandan Hotel.

The interior of the hotel was gorgeous, with spotless tiles reflecting the golden light like a mirror, but Draenor didn't bother admiring it, just repeating the lines reserved for the letter over and over again in his head.

"Welcome to Pandan Hotel! Hello sir, how can I help you? The dressed waiter at the front desk asked Draenor politely.

"We're residents on the second floor." Skillful and natural, that's it...... Draenor slapped the card in the envelope onto the marble table and addressed the other party.

“…… Yes sir, this side please. After a moment's inspection, the waiter returned the card to Lenlano and led the two of them to the stairwell on the right side of the hall.

"Just go up from here, do you need to prepare any dessert for you?"

"No, I just want to get some good sleep." Draenor improvised that he should have rested on a feather bed in the hotel for a while if it wasn't for his work.

"Okay, I wish you a good night."

With that, the waiter bowed deeply to the two of them and turned back to the front desk. Draenor didn't think much of it, and turned around with Cooper and walked up to the second floor.

"'Room 219', it should be this one, right?" He placed the card in front of his eyes and double-checked the numbers on the door.

"Time! Stop talking nonsense, get inside! There's still work to be done! Cooper impatiently pushed Draenor aside, opened the half-hidden door, and stepped inside.

This room is not much bigger than Jett's, but it has a bed, a bathroom, a bathroom, and so on, and it looks like a very ordinary room.

"That's the job? Inexplicably spend one night in a hotel and the money arrives? Draenor knew it wasn't going to be that simple, and just wanted to whine to get Cooper's words out.

"Young people...... I think you probably guessed Mikhail's character, what is the most desired thing for a knight without worrying about food and clothing, or even having a lot of money? Cooper asked, walking over to the window and looking to the left, looking like he was trying to find something in the next room.

“…… Accompany. Draenor thought for a moment before he could barely hold back such a sentence, in fact he had thought of another, more fitting and straightforward word, but he did not intend to tie it to a noble knight.

"That's right, that's pretty much it. The royal knights are not the same as the gangsters everywhere, they are all part of the legend. Therefore, at all times and in all places, their words and deeds represent the noblest group of Nagseus, and they know how many invisible precepts are binding them......"

Cooper turned and leaned against the window, a malicious smile on his face.

"But those things can't hold a wild horse on a leash. Mikhail was indeed a knight with great achievements, but he was more interested in his old profession than in the service of the royal family! ”
