Chapter 69: Origin

"Hehe, I met a big customer today, dear Lord Harbas, didn't you see that Rand and Horswater's faces have turned green today, hehehe." A waiter stood beside Halbas and flattered him to the fullest, he was not interested in Rand and Horswater, but he was interested that the current Harbas would never refuse such a compliment, it was enough to create a gold brick for thousands of gold coins, as long as Halbas was happy, casually exposed a few pieces from his fingers to himself, then the quality of life would definitely be doubled.

"Really?" Harbas just played with the gold brick in his hand, and didn't pay much attention to the waiter's words, and his mind had gradually cooled down from the previous ecstasy, although there was still some excitement in his heart, but it was no longer as expressive as at the beginning.

"Have you found out where this guest came from?" Harbas changed his words and began to inquire about Lin Xiu's origins, compared to a one-time deal, he hoped to be able to persevere such a cooperation, woman? Hehe, as long as it takes a long time, there will be times when you get tired, let alone a slave? Thinking that this young master who should also be a royal family is unwilling to be lonely and wants to change his taste, if this is the case, why not do it? Once he hits the other party's line, there is no doubt that he will henceforth be promoted from the status of a merchant to the royal supply, which is not something that can be bought by much money, so the actual status of the other party is far more important than the gold brick he gave.

"Uh... We've checked it again, but as you intended, we're focusing on royalty. It won't take more than five days to get an answer. The waiter couldn't make out Harbas's face. Cautiously replied. But what he said was also a bit exaggerated, five days to go to the imperial capital is barely to find out the identity of the other party, but fortunately, that person has no scheming, and left his name, although it may be fake, but it is not a clue, this is to follow this line, trace the list of royal family personnel who have recently entered and exited the imperial capital. Paired with a portrait, it's not difficult, and he's just a great painter, which is why Harbas took him with him.

"Five days? Isn't it a little too long? But... Forget it, did you send someone to follow the honored guest? Harbas got up and tightened his pocket, and then asked again.

"Sent, as soon as they left, we sent more than a dozen light cavalry to follow, honorable Harbas, do you want to..." But already with a sinister smile, he made a cutting gesture on his neck with one hand. It is self-evident what you want to do, the king is not guilty, he is guilty, he kills people and goods, and the truth that wealth is not leaked is very popular in any era and any country.

"Waste, if such a thing is done, we should be removed from now on." Harbas glared at his waiter sternly, and the other party knelt on the ground in fear, saying that he didn't dare.

"That's a member of the royal family, don't you know how troublesome it will be to deal with it? And as we all know, he has come to us, if he is safe, the royal family may give us some benefits for the sake of decency, but if he has any safety risks, you should know the outcome. Harbas wrinkled his eyebrows and said word by word, if he couldn't even understand this reason in such a chaotic country, then he would have become someone else's meal.

"Yes, yes, or you're thoughtful, it's too simple to think about it." The waiter nodded resignedly and admitted his mistake, for fear of upsetting Harbas again, although he was dressed as a businessman, who had not had blood on his hands in this business? And he was just a lowly waiter with a lot of skill, and if he provoked Harbas to anger, he would surely not have a hair left.

"More than a dozen light horsemen are too few, and if I send more men, I must let him leave the jurisdiction of here safely, don't you see the eyes of that guy in Hostwater?" Harbas talked about the gravity of the situation as he taught his attendants step by step.

"Yes, do you mean we're going to ambush Horswater? Dear Lord Harbas, you must know that although a down-and-out royal family is important, a lord with great power is not something we can offend. The waiter was a little surprised to hear Harbas's opinion, knowing that if Hoswater really knew that they were trying to get in the way, it would be too easy to send troops to attack them.

"No, no, we're just small businessmen, and what we can do is naturally limited, it's enough for us to send people to do enough, just if those knights are sent out by us to escort them, it's enough for us to protect a big patron, this is our conscience, these twenty light horsemen will be regarded as our return gift, and when the time comes, as for who lives and dies, that's not something we can solve, if the royal family asks in the later period, we also have enough gestures, and Horswater is looking for his own death, At that time, the royal family will only be grateful to us, and if Horswater wins, the royal family will definitely die in the future, and we can also ask for a price from it. Harbas smiled darkly, it was clear that he was a very qualified businessman, and the icing on the cake was too imperfect compared to the charcoal in the snow.

"Your Excellency, you are really thoughtful, I will go and prepare." After listening to Halbas's analysis, the waiter couldn't help but feel alive, to know what benefits he wanted to get from this old miser, it was not a simple matter, but if this matter was a big deal, hehe, then it was impossible to say who would take a little bribe.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the waiter had just run to the front of the iron gate, and the heavy iron gate slapped towards him as if it had collapsed, knocking his body out like a quail, and wrapping his body in a robe as if he had been thrown out of a sack.

"Who are you?" Harbas was also shocked by the sudden incident, but he had seen a lot of big scenes, and he was not panicked, but he was not a kind person to make such a brazen incursion. And the good people will not run to him. His first instinct was that Horswater had just been humiliated. It's unbearable to send someone over to rob it, but when did Horswater's men have such a capable person? If there is such a person, his territory will not be beaten so miserably.

Then the sunlight seeped outside, and four elongated figures slowly appeared in the vision, wearing a uniform dark gray robe and a hood, hiding all the figures in it, walking in the front. His gray beard could be faintly seen under the hood, but there was no shortage of those who looked at ease, and it could be seen that this man's strength was definitely beyond his age.

"Harbas? You're looking for you. The old man did not speak, but the person standing to his right opened his mouth first, and it was not difficult to judge in his voice that the age of this person should not be more than thirty years old, and there was a kind of habitual inevitability in those words.

"Oh? I don't know what a few people have come to me for, but if you want to do business, I'm sorry. Today's auction is over, and you will have to wait until the next time. "Harbas didn't grovel right away. Then the initiative will be directly handed over to the other party, since the other party has such skills and did not make a move at the first time, then there must be something to ask, if you want to kill, I am afraid you will not give him a chance to speak, as soon as he thought of this, Harbas immediately stabilized his body and mind.

"Yes, a qualified businessman, no wonder you can do it well in this place where birds don't, but you should pay attention to the tone of your voice, and know what you're dealing with... But the most distinguished guest. The old man finally spoke, but his unbeatable attitude was even more arrogant than that of the young man before.

"Ahem... cough..."The waiter barely got up from the ground with his waist bent, he was originally full of anger, you know, Harbas is not a little ant that anyone can step on, not to mention, they are now about to hook up with the royal family, and the identity is probably going to jump up, but the other party's words just now forced his anger back, and it can be seen from the other party's demeanor and tone that the other party's origin will definitely not be small.

"I heard you caught a girl with green hair? Tell me, where is she. The old man never showed his face, but the momentum in his words made people not have any thoughts of resistance.

"I'm sorry if you're interested in that slave too, but you're a step late, she's already been bought, just now." Although Halbas's tone was respectful, he didn't want to be half a point weaker in his momentum, as a businessman, his interests always came first, and sometimes even higher than his own life, but he didn't feel anything about it.

"You, come here." A person standing to the right of the old man also opened his mouth at this time, stretched out his hand and pointed at the waiter in Harbas, and motioned for him to come to him, the waiter was a little frightened, turned his head and glanced at Harbas, Harbas nodded without a trace, and he hesitated to step forward, only because of the impact just now that his internal organs were a little displaced, and it was very difficult to walk.

"What he said is true?" Seeing that the waiter had already walked in front of him, the man standing on the right continued to ask.

"When... Of course, and I might as well tell you that he is a royal family, and you can't afford to mess with it, so you'd better be careful. The waiter knew that the person in front of him was not good, and he was forced to be afraid, so he had to bring out the identity of the buyer, after all, with the royal family as his backing, he felt that he had some confidence, at least his legs did not continue to tremble.

"Good." The man listened to the waiter's words, nodded, and only said two good words, and then patted him on the shoulder casually, the waiter thought that the other party was afraid of the power of the royal family, and raised his neck for a while, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Ah!!!h

"Tear up!"

"What are you doing!"

A question, a crisp tearing sound, a desolate scream, all occurred at the same time in an instant, the desolate scream was made by the waiter, the tearing sound was the other party's hands grabbed his body, and it was torn in half, and the questioning voice was made by Harbas.

Harbas looked at the two pools of blood on the ground, angry, but more frightened, he didn't expect that after hearing the news that the other party was royal, they still dared to act unscrupulously, and this method was extremely cruel. Tearing people in half with their hands. Time. He also felt fear, these people were obviously not something he could provoke.

"Royalty? Hehe, it's really ironic, the people of the royal family have become interested in witches? Harbas, it's better to hurry up and tell us where that woman went, if she awakens the witch's power, then the whole world will be disrupted. This disaster, you... Can you bear it? The old man walked towards Harbas with heavy steps, and every word, every step fell on Harbas's heart.

"Witch? What witch? She's just a slave I snatched. Harbas tried his best to defend himself, and as the man walked in, Harbas's pupils dilate, and he finally saw clearly that there was a shining pendant hanging from the other man's neck, and the pendant was engraved with a pattern that he could not understand. But he had the pleasure of seeing the wearer of such a pendant once. It represents the Templar, a more powerful and terrifying being than the royal family, and the power of the God that represents it is impossible to resist.

"You won't have another chance, tell me where she is." The old man crouched in front of Harbas, the last of Harbas's psychological barrier had disappeared in an instant, and he didn't dare to resist the people of the Templar at all, not even the slightest thought of resisting could arise.

"I say, I say." Harbas nodded hurriedly in a panic, and quickly explained the route of Lin Xiu and C.C. leaving, when did the two leave, and where should they go now, there was no concealment at all, after listening to it, the old man took a deep breath and nodded with satisfaction.

"In addition, I sent more than ten light horsemen to protect them, but there are my informants there, and I am ready to send more than twenty more horsemen, if this is the case, I think I have a better plan." Harbas's mind is spinning incredibly, and if he wants the Templars to think that he is still valuable, he must show his own skills.

"Hehe, that's good, Harbas, you're a qualified businessman with a bright future!" The old man heard Halba's words, understood his plan in an instant, and patted him on the shoulder with appreciation.

"Can... It is an honor to serve the church, an honor! Harbas hurriedly wiped the sweat from his face, and it wasn't until the four of them left that he felt his heart return to his body, and he hurried to call someone, he knew that the other party was not worried that he would not do anything, because the people of the Templar had all the privileges and could mobilize countless powers.

"Great Elder, why don't we go in person?" Walking out of the residence of Harbas, the person who had been at the back of the house without speaking suddenly spoke, and this sentence made the Great Elder's footsteps also hesitate, but he did not answer his doubts immediately, just looked at the stars in the sky, and did not say a word for a long time.

"Why is that star in the east shining so brightly?" The Great Elder didn't answer his words, but looked at the star and asked a question that no one could understand.

In those days, there was no asphalt to water the road, and there were stumbling stones on the road, and if you didn't wear shoes, you would definitely wear out the soles of your feet, and a young man and a girl of twelve or thirteen years old walked aimlessly forward in such moonlight.

From time to time, C.C. would look down at her little boots, which were made of deerskin, orange boots, which made her figure look lighter, she couldn't bear to let the boots be stained with a little dust, you know, a slave was given shoes, that was a high honor, she had imagined countless times that she would have such a day, and now it finally came true, every time she thought of this, she would peek at the figure walking in front of her.

"Master, where are we going?" C.C. felt that she was a little hungry after walking for half a day, but she didn't dare to ask directly, a lazy slave would not be liked by any master.

"Where to go? I don't know. Lin Xiuwei sighed, C.C. had no memories of the past, he didn't know how to tell her, and even if she did, how much could she remember?

"Uh..." was a little overwhelmed by Lin Xiu's answer, could it be that this master of his own brain is abnormal? Don't even know where to go? Back to your territory, of course, idiot. C.C. said a word in his heart.

"Let's rest here tonight." Lin Xiu looked around, he still didn't know anything about this era, how to make C.C. recover his memory, this was the only way for him to return to the original world, but unfortunately, the apostle couldn't even contact here, which was even more embarrassing than the last trip to Rome.

"In... Over here? "C.C. is a little dumbfounded, it stands to reason that a noble young master must have high requirements in life, how can he rest in the open field? And... I didn't even have a quilt, and most importantly, I didn't even have a hard bread.

C.C., who was struggling in his heart, was thinking about how to persuade his master, and suddenly found that Lin Xiu magically took out a tent, and then began to build it on the ground, and soon, the green tarpaulin became a small house, which was very magical.

"Master, are you a magician?" C.C. looked at Lin Xiu with inexplicable admiration.

"I've killed a lot, but unfortunately it's not." Lin Xiu thought about it for a while and gave such an answer, which made C.C. not know what to do.

"That's... Can the host give me a piece of dry hard bread? I'm not very good at eating, just a small piece, uh, a small piece. C.C. said weakly, looking down at his little feet in a nutshell, hoping that he wouldn't be reprimanded.

"Bread? There's no such thing, I don't remember you like to eat this kind of food. Lin Xiutou said without replying.

"Oh, that's right, then tomorrow morning will be fine." C.C. said with some disappointment, she didn't believe that an owner like Lin Xiu would travel without ornaments, it should be like this small house that something was hidden in some mysterious place by him, maybe his performance was not good enough, so he asked him not to give him food, and he shouldn't bring that kind of dry hard bread, maybe... As long as you work hard, there will be more delicious food.

"Eat this." C.C., who was thinking wildly, suddenly found that the person in front of her dragged out a box with one hand, and the box didn't know what kind of food it was, but it was colorful, and it was definitely the most beautiful food she had ever seen in her life.

"This... What it is, master. After asking Lin Xiu again, C.C. took the pizza with some trepidation, tasted it carefully, and then swore that she would eat something like this for the rest of her life, and let the dry hard bread die.

"It's called pizza, although I don't know... Why do you like to eat so much. Lin Xiu smiled a little self-deprecatingly, even if he gave C.C. an answer, but also gave himself a doubt.

"The pizza had a host... Can't forget..."Under the moonlight, the girl carefully eliminated the food, and secretly warned herself in her heart. (To be continued......) u
