Chapter 161: Confession is strict, resistance is stricter
"Young Master...... Master Langdon, you ...... Why did you arrest Varus? Varus did something wrong, if you say it, Varus will change ......."
Goblin Chef Varus finally showed a normal goblin state - cowardly and afraid of death, and this state appeared after he was taken to prison by Langdon.
Yes, our young master Langdon simply turned his face decisively after he had eaten and drunk enough to praise Varus.
It wasn't just Varus who was captured, but everyone in his shop, not even the waiter who served the food and cleaned up the table.
And the place where they were held was the cell of the Sorenod City Sheriff's Office.
When Langdon came in with a group of people, he startled the head of the sheriff's office, and thought that there was a mob rioting and storming the sheriff's office, so he immediately shouted to people to clean up the mob.
However, after seeing that it was Langdon, the head of the Sheriff's Bureau was immediately intimidated, and the whole change of face took less than 3 seconds, and after 3 seconds, he had changed from a thunderous state to a respectful state, and "faithfully" obeyed the orders of Mistress Isis, and began to fully cooperate with Langdon.
As a result, one of the three floors of the cell was contracted by Langdon, and all the original prisoners were driven to the other two floors.
Our poor Varus, with his excellent cooking skills, has managed to gain a foothold in the city of Sauronord, and has gained a certain status, and even he himself has forgotten that he is a goblin, and yet, at this moment, his true form is revealed.
"Calm, calm, Varus. Langdon patted the goblin chef on the shoulder.
The goblin was so small that the chains on the walls of his cell had to be stretched to the limit to hold his hands, which made him look very funny, like a ball with a pair of long hands......
"You see, my friend, I didn't do anything to you, even though I invited you here, did I? Actually, I only needed you to do me a favor, and of course, if you were still as panicked as you were and didn't answer me for what I said, I can't guarantee that anything will happen next. Langdon said with a smile.
"I ...... I will do my best to help you, Master Langdon. The goblin chef nodded like garlic.
"Very well, then, help me see, do you recognize them?" Landon gestured to the other side.
With a bang, the black cloth between the two prisons was pulled down.
There were also people hanging on the wall of the opposite cell, not one, but eight, and Langdon was referring to them.
When Varus saw those people, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked, "Aren't they my clerks?"
"Seriously, seriously! look at them one by one!" Langdon patted Varus on the shoulder again, this time with a lot of force, which made Varus feel pain, and his slightly relieved heart immediately lifted, not much, but enough to make him more focused to do what Langdon said.
He looked at the first one on his right, "This is my cook." ”
"This is the waiter. ”
"It's ......"
When his gaze fell on the penultimate man, Varus was stunned, and his hand moved, as if he wanted to rub his eyes, but he only pulled the chains and made a rattling sound.
He then reacted, so he gave up the idea of rubbing his eyes, tried to look at the man, and after a long time, said, "Isn't that Mark? I used to be a cook, but he has been quitting for five months." ”
"Oh, that's Henry, waiter, he went earlier, at least...... It's been at least a year. Why are you here?"
Of course, they didn't answer Varus, in fact, the prison over there was completely covered in silence, and the people couldn't make a sound at all.
"Good memory, Varus, then, do you remember that I was assassinated twice in your shop?" Landon then asked.
"That's not what I did, the great Kenda Davoka Ancestor is above, I swear...... I swear!" Varus's ball-like fat body instantly stiffened at Langdon's words, and then he screamed with the loudest voice he could.
"Calm down, Varus!" Langdon slapped him again, the pain causing Varus's voice to snap abruptly, and then he closed his mouth tightly and looked at Langdon with a terrified gaze.
"I didn't say you did it, did I, my friend, I did, I asked you to come just so you could do me a favor. ”
"That'...... I already recognize them...... Can I go now, now?" asked Varus, trembling.
"Not yet, oh, don't get excited, I haven't eaten that meal yet, so I need you to show your skills again, you see, I've got everything ready, so please go over there and help me cook a roast pig." Langdon pointed to the other side, where the soundproof room, which had been used as an interrogation room, had been converted into a makeshift kitchen in the shortest possible time.
Immediately after, Varus felt that his hands were loosened, and he was let go by Langdon, and at the same time, Langdon's voice sounded again, "Look, I do what I say, as a friend, don't you even want to help me with this little favor?"
"When...... Of course I do, Master Langdon, and I'll do it now. Varus said as he ran on his two short legs, though he was also in prison and preferred to face the familiar kitchen utensils.
Langdon, meanwhile, walked towards the prison cell.
"One, two, three......"
Silence was removed, and Langdon's voice echoed softly through the empty cell.
"Ah, you, and you, are you two new workers from Varus? You were three months ago? You were five months ago?"
"Well, I'll tell you the good news, you can rest for a while in the coming period, but I may need your help in a while, so I'll see you later. ”
Soon, the two were taken to two other levels of prison, where only six people remained.
"That's right, the six of you, plus a John who died half a year ago, are all together. ”
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you, do you know what I came to you for?"
Langdon looked at the six people hanging on the wall and asked lightly.
As soon as the words fell, Mark, the only dark elf worker in the shop and the former assistant chef of Varus, opened his voice tremblingly, "Three...... Three years ago, Master Langdon, you were assassinated......"
"Oh, there are still smart people. Langdon looked at Mark with a slightly surprised look on his face, and then continued, "Now, now that you know why I'm looking for you, please tell me about it." ”
"Oh, by the way, you'd better not open your mouth, otherwise it will be miserable, and in the same way, don't think about lying, my slogan is, confess strictly, resist even stricter!"
