Chapter 199: Discussion
As expected, after two hours, a burly figure finally came out of the hotel, wearing rearranged armor and carrying a wooden gift box, forming a counterpoint with the crowd that was crowding into the hotel one after another, he looked much more tired than before, waved his hand to the guards around him, boarded the carriage and drove towards the southern corner.
"Keep up with them." When Draenor finally spoke, the coachman stretched, waved the reins, and drove through the empty gaps in the street, always keeping a distance of no less than thirty meters from Mikhail's carriage.
Along the way, Draenor was silent, more nervous about what would happen next than he was glad that the plan had gone smoothly: how to get around the guards, how to approach the old knight, and how to subdue him...... These need to be considered, and any mistake in the process means that everything that has been done before will be in vain.
In less than twenty minutes, Mikhail's carriage stopped in front of a tall building, which did not look like a villa, but if you guessed correctly, it was what Jett called the "Knights' Guild".
Stunned, the old knight had already stepped out of the carriage, leaving the knights at the gate, and one of them walked up the stairs.
"Wait for us here, the money is indispensable for you!" After finishing with the coachman, Draenor immediately jumped out of the carriage and tried to catch up with Mikhail's figure, but was stopped by the knights around him.
"The Guild Mansion is not a place for civilians to come, retreat quickly!"
"We are old acquaintances of Mikhail, and we have important matters to discuss with him!" Cooper was about to walk up past the knight, but was pushed aside by a thick arm.
"Leave, this is the last warning......" The knight in the helmet stepped forward, and the knight's sword at his waist was already showing a sharp light.
Draenor looked at the fading figure, took a step back, and called out the name to him.
"Camila!"
Just as he was about to ascend the final step, Mikhail suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked at the two men by the carriage with serious and slightly surprised eyes. He hesitated for a moment, then turned and shouted to the knights:
"Xchatt, Kalm, disperse."
"But, sir......"
In silence, Mikhail narrowed his eyes, which made the knights shudder, and quickly withdrew his weapons, neatly arranged them in two rows.
After observing left and right for a moment, Draenor walked up the stairs contentedly, and the knights, still somewhat wary, kept a distance of five meters from the two of them.
"Young man, how do you know that name?" Mikhail didn't seem to notice Cooper's presence, and only focused on Anglano.
"I know more than just one name." Draenor patted his pocket, and the sound of the metal box colliding attracted the attention of the old knight, and those who had ghosts in their hearts would definitely react immediately.
ββ¦β¦ It's not convenient to talk about private matters here, come with me. β
Mikhail frowned, turned around, and led the two of them towards the guild hall.
The wool carpet, the Hound banner of Nagseus, Draenor was a little aesthetically tired of such a dΓ©cor, and the only thing that made him feel a little strange was a stone tablet with the words of Lycos, perhaps the knightly program was not allowed. He and Cooper walked in front of the servants and knights as ordinary guests, and followed the old knight to the room on the second floor.
Pushing open the mahogany door, the maids had just finished cleaning up the room, and turned curiously to look at the two unfamiliar faces, and immediately lowered their heads when they saw the chief knight come forward.
"According to your instructions, the beds, bath towels, etc. have all been replaced with silk fabrics, and they are ready to welcome the arrival of guests." The maids bowed to the old knight, and one of the older maids added, "And the Moyal Plateau Ice Red Wine, which needs to be heated for you now?" β
"No need, today's guests have something to do, and they can't come for the time being." Then the old knight walked behind the screen, and through the shadow left on the silk, Draenor saw him stretch out his arms, and the maids undressed Mikhail and hung the flashy works of art on the wall.
Draenor knew that the guest he was talking about was Camilla, and Mikhail, as a knight, could not stay in the hotel, but he did not expect that he would even want to invite the noble lady to his room for the night. But tonight, at least, that good plan is going to be lost.
Mikhail, dressed in a short robe, stepped out, turned and lay down on the sofa, his muscular body pressing the leather sofa into deep dents, and he waved his hand to the maids, motioning for them to leave the room.
"Lock the door and tell Schattdecor to leave with the others, it'll be okay here."
"But Captain, do you still need to prepare the anti-fatigue medicine in the box?" A dumbfounded maid walked to the door and turned to Mikhail to ask.
"Idiot! Didn't you hear the words of the regimental commander? Get the hell out of the stairs! The maid shouted by the ear, and did not close the door until she had thrown her all down the hallway.
I also plan to use medicine, there are so many tricks...... Draenor smirked inwardly, covering his mouth and coughing lightly, returning to his original seriousness.
Mikhail sighed, grabbed the wine glass on the table and drank the red liquid, and then still did not stretch his brows, just raised his hand to the opposite side, stared at Draenor and said coldly: "Please take a seat." β
While the two were seated, Mikhail gave an unnatural smile and asked the other:
"It's been five years since the last burglified citizen who broke into the guild smuggling, but it seems like you're much smarter than him...... Right, what do you all know? β
Draenor cleared his thoughts and concisely and conservatively came out with the lines prepared in advance, "Xianglan Hotel, room 215 on the second floor, just a few hours ago. β
"What does this mean? Do you want me to pay for your room? β
It's all on this portion, and it's still loaded with garlic...... Draenor knew that Mikhail would not be able to admit the truth with just a few words, but fortunately he had prepared a more straightforward way of expressing it. Unhurriedly, he placed the two boxes on the table, the copper wire tightened, and turned the knob to one end.
"'Is this what you call important?' β¦β¦β
"'What do you think?' β¦β¦β
Immediately after, an indescribable commotion came from the box.
"Stop! Stop!!! The old knight's eyes widened, and for a moment he lost his previous image of superiority, and he banged on the table in a panic, hoping to hide the commotion with another noise.
Draenor smiled slightly, closed the machine, and merged the two boxes together. "It's a bit abstract, right? Don't worry, it can also play video ......"
"Stop !!" The old knight was so scrambling that he almost jumped over the table to Draenor's side.
The guard heard the strange movement, knocked on the wooden door and asked the room, "Commander, is there any situation?" β
ββ¦β¦ How many times! Retire! β
"Yes......"
It wasn't until the footsteps at the door completely disappeared that Mikhail finally came to his senses and sat down on the sofa, covering his face with his hands and sighing, "Alas...... Jalayah called you here, right? β
"It's not." Draenor didn't want to explain so much, but he was still surprised by the old knight's law, and it seemed that Mikhail, as a father, still knew his illegitimate daughter well. He thought for a moment, intending to make the most of Glori's rhetoric.
"We're just ordinary residents, or amateur photographers, and we just want to use this harvest to make a fortune at the newspaper."
"Heh, if you really wanted to do that, you wouldn't be here tonight." Mikhail shook his head and turned his gaze to Cooper, "I haven't seen you for many years, and you still can't change your bad habits." β
"Each other, each other." The dwarf uncle sneered, and leaned back on the sofa with his arms folded.
"You're half right, all of this was indeed planned by Gelaya in advance, but no matter how you are a legendary knight, it is a bit ironic to be ruined at the hands of a woman."
"Looks like I have to thank you, Outlander......" Mikhail glanced at Rano and pointed out the door, "have you considered the consequences of threatening the head of the Order like this?" I could have have you executed right now. β
"It's not a threat, it's a discussion. I only have one cheap life, and it doesn't matter to you whether I exist or not. But if you want the newspaper to make the evidence prepared in advance public, you can kill or chop it up as you please. β
ββ¦β¦ What do you want? Mikhail backed down, exchanging his life's honor for the lives of two commoners, a loss-making deal that only a fool would be willing to do.
"It's simple." Draenor took out a gold coin from his coat pocket, bounced it into the air, and held it firmly in the palm of his hand, "Money, and work, that's all." β
