Chapter 186: The Mystery Merchant
The sweet wine in his hand was sweet in his mouth, and there was not much taste of wine. Radish knew that this kind of sweet wine was rare in the eyes of the commoners, but for the nobles, few people would drink it, and even the viscount and baron would only choose all kinds of fruity fruit wines instead of this pure sweet wine with a hint of sweetness. It seems that the chief has a special preference.
The chief looked at the turnip, and knew what he was thinking, and in fact anyone who saw him entertain guests with sweet wine would find it strange, and he was already surprised. Moreover, now what I care about is not the eyes of others, but the news from the front. Radish also knew what he should do now, and after waiting for the old man to sit down, he began to look at the old man: "I don't know what the old man wants to know? Because this time the operation is long, some things are very trivial, and I don't know what your old man wants to know." The old man laughed and put his hand on the head of the turnip: "The little one is still scheming with me? ”
Radish thought about it, this old man was able to be the head of the management of the big library, and he was also a highly respected person in the entire empire, and he had nothing to hide, so he began to tell everything he knew. The old man listened very carefully, and every time he heard something he cared about, he would interrupt the words of the radish and ask carefully, and he didn't know where to take out a piece of parchment in his hand, and recorded all kinds of information in detail. After Radish told the old man all the information he knew, the old man put down the quill in his hand, and then looked at Radishes: "You should have a lot of questions, right?" Radish nodded. The quills in the old man's hand were full of ink, and he drew a circle on the previous parchment, circling the information he had said before, and the radish looked over, circled by two phrases: "sudden coma" and "merchant who appeared inexplicably".
Yes, Radish nodded: "The previous point is something I still don't understand." Why was the captain unconscious, and even the archbishop couldn't revive him......; I didn't think of it. As soon as I heard you say here, this businessman appeared very unexpectedly. It appeared suddenly, and then fell into a coma as well, exactly the same symptoms as the captain. The old man looked at the turnip: "Then you saw that the captain was unconscious, so he hurried here?" Radish nodded: "That's right, because the captain is already unconscious, and we have obtained enough information at that time, and the mission has been completed." At the time, we didn't know if the captain's coma would make him worse. In order to come back to heal the captain as soon as possible, and to report the information to him in person earlier, we returned to Nimitz City day and night. Speaking of this, Radish was stunned: "Could it be...... There's a conspiracy here?"
The old man nodded, stretched out his finger and pointed at the phrase "businessman who appeared inexplicably": "I suspect that this time the matter of the demon clan is related to this merchant who suddenly appeared." Looking at the radish that was a little anxious, the old man said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you the doorway slowly." You drink some wine first to cool down. Radish took a sip of his glass and slammed it on the table, making a loud noise as the glass collided with the wooden table.
"Looks like you guessed what I'm going to say next. The old man saw the turnip's movements and said, "Although the words after that may seem unacceptable to you, these are the most likely scenarios that I have made through the information you have provided." ”
Radish was about to ask with her mouth open, when she suddenly heard the sound of a silver whistle outside the window. This signal radish knows what it means: an enemy is coming. Radish suddenly got up from the chair and pulled out the knight's sword hanging from his waist: "Old man, you should go to the conference room first, there are more people there, and the garrison is much stronger than here, so your old man is naturally safer." I can't send you over, now I'm going downstairs to join my companions, and I'll repel this wave of attacks. As he spoke, the knight's sword in his hand became firmer.
The old man looked at the radish approvingly, nodded slightly, and thought in his heart: "This is a good seedling, just now I was still struggling with whether this disaster was related to me, but now when I faced danger, I immediately cheered up, and I didn't hesitate at all." I haven't seen this fighting spirit for a long time. While thinking, he looked at the seat behind him and shook his head: "Since sitting here, I haven't been in contact with it for a long time, such a real warrior." ”
Radish rushed down the stairs with the knight's sword in his hand, and saw that his companions, who were still recuperating, had all stood up, and all kinds of equipment in their hands had been prepared, some with throwing spears, some with bows and aim, and some with swords and shields ready to charge and attack at any time.
Seeing the radish coming down, the captain of the guard was a little anxious: "Little master, what are you doing here, let's go inside and maintain order among the scholars!" The record knew that this was the reason that the captain came up with in order to keep himself away from the war zone, but the radish didn't believe in following this reason, and said: "Now I am also a knight, I can't watch everyone fighting in front and I alone in the rear to survive." ”
The captain looked at the demeanor of the radish and knew that this little young master would not listen to his opinion, so he could only sigh: "Then the little young master must ensure his own safety, and when the demon rushes over, he can't guarantee the thoughtfulness of the little young master." Radish raised the shield to his chest in his hand, the knight's sword in his hand was already clenched, and a battle intent flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, I am also a trainee knight no matter how I say it, and I am not an inexperienced novice, I know what to do." ”
No, I don't think you know. The captain didn't know how to dissuade him for a while, and when he was about to speak, he heard a commotion outside: "Demon, the demon is approaching! On the other side, after the scouts came back, they hurriedly ran to the commander of the garrison and reported: "Captain, I saw that there are quite a few demons coming from the south, the number is about fifty or sixty, most of them are small demons, and the demon in the lead, three or four meters tall, is holding a machete in his hand!"
