Minter was taken aback, and in a flash, he hurriedly jumped back three or four meters, then stopped his feet, and rushed forward again, shouting loudly: "What person?!" Seeing a man in a dark gray samurai suit rushing out of the tent, he pretended not to see clearly, and just shouted to the empty front: "Who is sneaking out there?!" Come out! ”

Naturally, no one would answer him, but two nearby patrol campers heard the voice, and they both probed their heads to see what was going on, and one of them asked in a loud voice: "Minter, what the hell is your name?!" ”

"There was a stinky boy hiding here just now who didn't know what he was doing, and when he saw me coming, he ran over there." He pointed to the casino, "Did you see that?" ”

The casino is the most lively place in the whole entertainment oasis, in addition to the guests, even the employees often go to play, the surrounding area is full of people, all you see are people, but who knows which one comes from which side? Naturally, the two guards would not have an answer.

Minter deliberately snorted, turned around and walked to Esparo's tent, and saw that he and the man in gray were staring at him, obviously suspicious of himself, so he looked at the man in gray with suspicion, and asked, "I don't seem to have seen you, where are you from?" Then he asked Esparo, "Sir, is this your friend?" Did you tell Madame? ”

Esparo said arrogantly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, get out!" ”

"That's not what I said." Minter looked the man in gray up and down, "Although you are a distinguished guest of Madame, you can't just let people of unknown origin live in, this place is so close to the main tent, we as guards, we must always think about Madame's safety." That look clearly regarded the man in gray as some kind of guy who stole chickens and dogs.

A hint of anger flashed on the gray-clothed man's face, and he glared at Esparo, who had no choice but to yell at Minter again: "I'll take care of this matter, don't worry about you, let's go!" ”

Minter will accept it when he sees it. Turning to leave, he was confronted by Nick, the man he had seen at Lady Ziya's side that day, approaching, and hurriedly stepped forward to whisper to him about the man in gray, pointing at the two Esparo "quietly" as he spoke.

That's what he did. Those two shouldn't doubt him anymore, right?

Nick also looked at Esparo and the man in gray with suspicion, but said nothing, and told Mint to leave them alone, and hurried to the main tent. Minter lowered his head back to his original patrol route, but caught a glimpse of Esparo still sitting in the tent with a bitter face, and couldn't help but be suspicious.

He had seen Esparo behind the tent just now. Why do you see another one now? And this is in the tent. The posture seems to have never changed. In retrospect. Just now when he passed by before the tent. I didn't see the shadow of the man in gray at all. Where are they discussing?

Slow down. He wanted to turn his head back and see clearly. But I heard a voice: "Where are you going?!" "Look up. It turned out that Nick had just come out of the main tent. His eyes rolled. He told me about the suspected two "Esparo" places he had just seen. Nick was shocked. He said sharply: "I said a long time ago that you were not allowed to take care of this matter anymore. Have you forgotten?! ”

Mint paused. Whisper. Turn away. After walking a few steps. Nick's footsteps were heard hurrying into the main tent again.

Minter walked all the way, thinking back to what he had just overheard. The man in gray didn't know where it came from. Said "Gale II", "Noga Throne", and what other places such as the Duke of Jeda and nobles. One can't help but suspect that he is planning a conspiracy against the King of Nogar. But what does this have to do with Esparo?

That's right. The Heddah family seems to have had some shady deals with the magnates of Noga and Wisha. This is also one of their crimes of treason. Could it have something to do with this? Put it this way. It is likely that Esparo was sheltered by some Nogga magnates. And now. The magnates are plotting for royal power in their countries.

This speculation makes sense. But. Esparo did not obediently hide in Noga. but came to Wisha. What is it for? As he said, some people became suspicious and began to investigate. Could it be the Security Service? Probably because the camp was exposed. will alert him, right?

Minter sighed slightly, originally to investigate what forces were sheltering Esparo. Who is secretly helping him in East, and who is behind the abduction and trafficking syndicate, and now that the matter has not been investigated clearly, the Xindi mystery has arisen again, and this kind of major event related to the change of thrones in other countries should be reported first.

Luma was guarding the area around the dunes outside the Oasis of Entertainment, and Minter had to wait until it was dark before he could find someone, or he would be easily stopped by the people guarding the outskirts. He waited patiently when he heard the other guards inform him that Frydo was coming.

In the name of sending news to Mrs. Ziya and visiting his nephew, Frido met Minter and asked him very cordially about his work and life, whether he was bullied, whether he was used to eating, whether he slept well, etc., and was completely a good uncle who cared about his younger generation. Nick, who had been with him all the time, was impatient to listen, so he asked their "uncle and nephew" to chat by themselves, and then go about their own business.

As soon as Nick left, there were two other guards in the tent, one sleeping and the other drinking. Freedo whispered, patting Minter on the shoulder with a "kind" face, but quietly threw a small ball of paper into Minter's pocket. Minter's eyes flashed, and under the pretext of handing over the money rewarded by the guests in the past few days to the "uncle" to put away, when he turned around to open the box, he hurriedly opened the paper ball and glanced at it.

It was written to him by Lumar, saying that they had made an agreement with Frido, who would share part of the messenger work, so that Mint would not be suspicious of running out every night.

Minter frowned, took advantage of the unpreparedness, and asked Freedo in a low voice, "Isn't it inconvenient that you can't come every day?" ”

With a smile on his face, Frido's mouth barely moved, but he made a very soft voice: "Ziya's intelligence dealers are too useless, ask me to help, I have already told her that I want to open a branch here, and it is normal to come and go every day." ”

Minter raised an eyebrow, smiled, and stuffed the information he had already written into his hand in the bounty, asking his "uncle" to put it away, and persuading him to take care of his health. Drink less, don't do dangerous things, and smile at Freedo.

The information was passed out smoothly, and Minter was in a much lighter mood. In the evenings he was on night duty. As soon as he moved a drunk guest back to the tent, he heard a loud bang in the direction of the main tent not far away, and the whole entertainment oasis was shaken, and people ran out of the tent in panic to ask what was going on.

Minter hurried to the main tent, only to see that it was unharmed, not on fire or broken. Many guards and staff huddled outside the tent, shouting about the situation inside, but there seemed to be a magical force at the door, blocking people from entering. Someone couldn't help but try to cut a hole in the tent, but before the axe could hit it, he flew backwards, and then the man with the axe also flew up and fell hard to the ground.

Now no one dared to do anything to the tent anymore, and they all gathered outside the tent to talk about it, and after a while. I saw Nick walk out and scolded, "What are you doing here?!" Don't you have to work?! ”

A bold guard asked, "Mr. Nick, what was that sound just now?" ”

"Just a little accident! Nothing. Hurry up, hurry up, go away! Nick stretched out his arms and kept waving, driving almost no one outside the tent, and seeing that Minter was still staring at the main tent, he hurriedly pushed him: "Go, go!" Don't be nosy! ”

Minter gave him a deep look before turning away. Even if Nick was calm, that pale face betrayed the fear in his heart. I thought that the man in gray had said. Will teach Lady Ziya a lesson, Minter guessed the meaning of the loud noise.

Sure enough, the next day, Madame Ziya's attitude towards Esparo changed a lot, not only restoring the highest treatment, but also sending the most out-of-the-way maid under her command. Some maids privately spread the rumor that Mrs. Ziya was in a very bad temper now, and she would get angry at every turn, and because of a trivial matter, she threw a gold fruit bowl on the head of a waitress who was usually very favored. Knocked her head out. If you don't lose your anger, you have to demote her to a brothel. Let her be reduced to a lowly prostitute with eight silver coins a night, and refuse to forgive no matter how much she pleaded.

The waitresses grieve for their former companions, but Minter is furious.

This so-called Mrs. Ziya is also a singer, if it weren't for her grandfather, she would just be someone else's plaything. Grandpa gave her a free body and indirectly funded her to start her own business, which completely changed her fate. But now, because of a trivial matter, she hurt and insulted a woman from the same background as her, was her moral heart eaten by a dog?! The thought of such a woman calling herself Grandpa's widow made Minter feel as evil as swallowing a fly

Since she is such a person, then he doesn't have to scruple.

The correspondence with Luma proceeded smoothly with the help of Freedo, and he spread the news of his visit to the Oasis of Entertainment, and also received information about Ziya. She seems to have a conflict with the two leaders of the underground forces of West, but those two are now fighting with each other and have no time to deal with her, but the official of Westhide is already suspecting that she has a shady relationship with Nuojia's forces, and it seems that they plan to send someone to investigate.

Minter is thinking about it, should he push it behind his back? However, Frido received instructions from Luma, telling him not to make any extraneous troubles and to complete his task first. Minter had to let it go for the time being.

Another night, Minter once again won the opportunity to patrol the night. Having dismissed a few drunks, he walked lightly back to Esparo's tent, hiding himself in the shadows and watching carefully.

While patrolling after dinner, he was surprised to find that the man in gray, who had disappeared since the loud noise that night, had reappeared in Esparo's tent, and he could not afford to miss this opportunity again.

The curtain lifted, half of Esparo's face revealed in the firelight, he looked around, and then retracted into the tent, and then a man in a black turban walked out and quickly disappeared into the night. Minter recognized him as the Man in Gray and hurriedly followed.

The man walked extremely fast, and Minter was so far away that he could barely keep up, and finally followed him to the southwest corner of the oasis of entertainment. There is a gravel beach of about 100 square meters, because the geology is not suitable for nailing tents, so it has been thrown into the air, and now it is only used to place and eliminate sundries such as equipment and broken tents, and few people usually come.

Mint watched the man walk to a pile of debris, and did not come out again, and secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly rushed over, and before he had taken two steps, he saw a huge black shadow rising into the air, which turned out to be a large bird, and by the dim moonlight, it was very similar to the bird he had seen the shadow of the earth, but it was more than twice as large, and the wind with its wings swept the sand and stones, and hit the man with pain. It circled in the air for half a circle, quickly flew north, and in the blink of an eye, it shrank into a small black dot.

Minter ran quickly to the debris pile, where was there any figure? There was something wrong with that bird just now! Maybe that person is on the back of a bird! He stomped his feet in frustration, but heard a "click", and the black shadow flashed behind another pile of debris nearby, he hurriedly rushed over, stabbed out the ice sword in his hand, and shouted: "Stop! What people?! ”

The man stopped, turned around, and raised his hands: "Don't get excited, I'm not your enemy. ”

Minter looked at him suspiciously, and saw that he had a beard on his face, and he was wearing a very ordinary Wisa costume, but his eyes were fierce, and his posture, movements, and bearing, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it did not match the dress, and his voice was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Seeing his suspicious face, the man took the initiative to smile and said: "I didn't expect to meet again, I thought that you were employed by the guard of a noble family, but I didn't expect your identity to be quite changeable, and now you are a thug in the oasis of guest entertainment?" ”

A flash of inspiration flashed in Mint's mind, and he recognized it! This is the masked man I met in the camp that day, the one named "Jay": "Why are you here?!" ”

Jay shrugged and looked at Minter, "It just happened." What about you? How did you get here? Or become a staff member here? ”

Minter narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Don't you know? That day we found out that one of the traffickers had escaped and that he was here now. I was ordered by my employer to secretly track down his backers. What about you? You've got people back, haven't you? How did you get here? ”

Jay looked at Minter, and Minter looked back, and both of them laughed. The former said: "No way, my fiancée was kidnapped and suffered a lot, although people were rescued, she couldn't forgive those people anyway, so I had to track them down." He smiled wryly: "You're like this too, aren't you?" It seems that we are really in the same boat. ”

It's strange to believe him! Just now, he obviously didn't know that the trafficking syndicate had slipped through the net, but now why did he become the one who came to investigate? Minter stared at Jay and tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Oh? So tell me, what have you found? ”

"That's the guy just now." Jie pointed to the sky, "The one who disappeared just now, I found out that he was related to the trafficking syndicate, so I came with me, what about you?" Are you too? But why didn't I find out that you were also checking on him? ”

Minter thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I checked another person, and he was related to the one who disappeared just now, so I came with him." Since you're looking at this one, why don't we exchange information with each other? "It doesn't matter if this guy is lying or not, as long as you can find out the origin of the man in gray.

Jay looked at him and dragged out, "Okay, help each other—"

The two looked at each other again and smiled.
