Chapter 37: Adair's Troubles
"Did he tell you anything else?"
"No, he just asked me to give you this envelope. Nothing else was said. I told you the truth, I didn't even know he wasn't in the room anymore, what could I know?"
Jones looked down at the envelope in his hand and reached out to open it to see what was inside.
"Don't!" the goblin boss hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.
Jones looked at the goblin boss in a daze.
Lowering his voice, the goblin boss said mysteriously to Jones: "Go back and tear it down, don't tear it down here." ”
"What the hell is in here?" Jones felt confused.
"I don't know, but I know a lot of people are looking for him. Several people have come to me these days to ask about him. Probably something very important. I took a big risk. As he said this, the goblin boss snickered as he gestured for money.
Jones understood at once, and quickly touched his pocket with his hand, took out a few gold coins and handed them over.
The goblin boss seemed a little unhappy, but accepted it anyway.
......
In the alley, a circle of blood clans was still listening carefully.
"Didn't anyone pay that goblin when you pressed him before?"
Several bloodlines looked at each other and shook their heads: "No, you didn't say you wanted to give him money." ”
"Oh my God, what do you all eat! Isn't it common sense that you need money to deal with goblins?"
"So what now? Give him the money now?"
The blood clan led by him was so angry that he raised his hands and made a gesture to fight. Several of the other Bloods quickly shrank their heads.
After a pause, the leader of the blood clan said, "What's the use of taking it now? He must really not know anything else." You two, go and grab what Master Jones has in his hands! That could be a clue!"
"Rob Master Jones?" The two designated bloodlines were stunned: "Won't this be bad?"
"Yes, Master Jones is a member of the Brotherhood of Young Master Adair, so we can't do it, right?"
"It's better to find someone else to do it. ”
"What was the result of looking for other people before?" the blood clan at the head shouted: "The result is that the matter has not been resolved until now! Just the two of you! Cover your face, just don't appear in front of Young Master Jones in the future! Even if he is a high-ranking blood clan, he is still underage." Can't you solve it?"
Helplessly, the two designated horses had no choice but to nod.
......
Leaving the hotel, Jones stood on the side of the street and looked down at the envelope in his hand.
"Go back and tear it down, go back to Snake City, what's going on with Adolphus, someone is investigating him?"
For a moment, Jones didn't know what to do.
From Serpent City to Hild, it takes several hours to go back and forth. On this trip, Jones had come to Adolf on purpose. As a result, I didn't see each other, and I didn't get anything done, so I took such an envelope.
"What should I do now? Go back and open the envelope? Or go to Adel? But today is not the Brotherhood Day, is Adair free? The armor and weapons have been sent the day after tomorrow, and I have nothing to do with him now...... Maybe I should talk to him about Adolf. ”
As he spoke, Jones took the envelope and walked in the direction of Adair's house.
Yes, go. Although Adair's house is in Hilde, it is on the mountain of Hilde. It's not far, but it's not close. It stands to reason that Jones should have just turned into a bat and flew over, but Jones didn't. For he was hesitating, hesitating whether he should show it directly to Adair.
Hilde's night was as lively as ever, with the streets bustling with people.
Jones walked alone, staggering past pedestrians.
"Maybe I should find a place to take it apart and take a look. In case of...... If I show it to Adair, will it hurt Adolf? After all, I don't know the relationship between the two of them. ”
After looking left and right, Jones slipped into a small alley and sneaked into a corner where no one was looking.
"Take a look first and determine what it is. ”
Just as Jones was about to open the envelope, he suddenly felt something, his eyes widened, and he turned and flashed to the side.
Almost at the same time, a bat formed by the Blood Clan descended from the sky, and a pair of claws grabbed the original envelope, grabbing it into the air.
"Whoa!" Jones screamed, showing his nails and fangs.
The empty bat spun around overhead and landed on the side of the alley, transforming into a blood-dwelled man in a black cloak and masking his face, quietly watching Jones. The cloth that covered the face looked colorful, as if it had been torn from somewhere.
"Master Jones, please give me what you have in your hands. Behind Jones, another Bloodline appeared. Also wearing a black cloak, covering his face is a black cloth.
The two of them went one after the other, just guarding the two ends of the alley.
"You know me?" Jones quickly pressed against the wall and hid the envelope behind him.
"No, we don't know you!" said the clothed Bloodclan hurriedly.
"But you just called me 'Master Jones.'" ”
"No! we really don't know each other!" the Flower Cloth Clan tried to argue.
The Black Cloth Blood Clan on the other side hurriedly shouted, "You shut up for me!"
"That's the real acquaintance. Jones raised his eyebrows and glanced at the two suspiciously, "You know me, but you don't dare to let me know who you are?" ”
Both Bloodlines began to break out in a cold sweat.
The two sides stalemate with each other for a while, and the Black Cloth Blood Clan stiffened his head and said, "You can think about it, in short, give us the things." Forget it. ”
As he spoke, he held out a hand.
"Do you think I'm going to be afraid of you?" Jones took a deep breath, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.
With this smile, the two black-robed blood clans who originally had the upper hand became timid and hesitated to make a move.
"Ah, Adolf!" Jones shouted with wide eyes.
The Flower Cloth Blood Clan hurriedly turned around.
By this turn, Jones had already rushed to the other side, and it was extremely fast.
The Black Cloth Blood Clan, who was not fooled, immediately showed their nails and prepared to fight.
However, just as he was close to Jones, Jones suddenly grabbed the cloth from his face.
The Black Cloth Blood's eyes widened suddenly, as if they realized something.
"Whew!" Probably because of the weakness of the heart, the Black Cloth Blood Clan hurriedly took back his claws, wanting to protect the cloth used to cover his face.
This time, the defense was exposed. However, Jones did not attack, but took this opportunity to turn into a bat and rushed directly from the side of the Black Cloth Blood.
The Black Cloth Blood Clan hurriedly turned around and turned into bats and chased out.
Everything happened in an instant, and by the time the Flower Cloth Bloodclan turned around, he was the only one left in the alley. A little overwhelmed.
......
"What is the use of asking you two to shit!"
"Hurry, chase, everybody!"
"The question is where to go! He's gone!"
"Find it! Do you want me to tell you how to find it? You two go to heaven! You two search for me!"
In the midst of the noise, four bloods rushed by, and the streets began to search.
Standing in the mailbox on the street, Jones, who still maintained his bat-like appearance, quietly poked his head out to look at it, and then shrank back. Squatting over a pile of letters, Jones glanced down at the envelope he was clutching on his legs.
"Who are these guys? Stupid like this, surely the people who sent them are not very good, right? Adolf offended a fool?"
......
"Did you find it?"
"Nope. ”
"I've looked for it over there, but I haven't!"
"You two go over there, I'll go over there! You stay here! You fly in the sky and keep your vision!"
"Yes!"
"Good!"
A group of Bloods were still coming and going outside the mailbox, and one even stood by the mailbox at all.
If it hadn't been for the fact that he had already experimented and found that these guys didn't have many brains, Jones would have almost thought that they had discovered themselves.
"It looks like I won't be able to get out for a while. Sighing helplessly, Jones glanced around.
It's a small space, but not too small for a bat.
Underneath was a pile of letters, and on the side was an opening just big enough for Jones to stick his head out. A faint glow shone through the opening, and the entire mailbox was covered in a dark red color.
"It's a safe place. Why don't you just tear it down here? Let's see what they are so nervous about. ”
It was the middle of the night, so naturally there could be no sunshine. Even if it is a fire, it is a fire along the street, because it is too far away, it is very dim. Fortunately, Jones is a Bloodline. The Bloodline's night vision is not bad.
Soon, Jones tore open the envelope with two bat legs, looked at the contents, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
......
"Are you crazy? Do it to Jones!" Adair slammed the table and stood up.
The butler said hesitantly, "Young Master, that matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will soon reach the master. Maybe even the head of the house will know. You're about to reach adulthood, and that's not good for you. They're just a bunch of crazy people, and they have to make us hand them over. ”
"You know they're going to do something to Jones?"
"No, I don't know. I just feel like they made the right decision. And they're just grabbing things, and they won't hurt Master Jones anyway. ”
Adair walked to the window with his forehead on his forehead, and looked at Hilde from afar, with a look of annoyance.
"Jones is the adopted son of the Lich King and a member of my brotherhood. ”
"I know that, young master. ”
Turning around, Adair said angrily, "I don't know what status the Lich King's adopted son has in the Lich King's camp, but I think you should know how much trouble you can cause by hurting him." It's no less than the death of four unknown minions. Are you trying to make something bigger happen to me before it settles?"
"No, they won't hurt Master Jones. The housekeeper hurriedly shook his head and said, "What if...... I mean, if, their identities are revealed. Let them admit for themselves that they are making their own decisions. And that's exactly what it is, isn't it?"
"And what about that? Why don't you just hand them over? It's also your decision to use someone from outside to break into Adolf's room, and I don't know about it. ”
The butler was speechless for a moment.
Adair looked at the butler with a look of annoyance.
After a moment of silence, the housekeeper said cautiously: "Young master, they are just trying to solve the matter as soon as possible." It's all about working better for you. ”
"If it weren't for the fact that you would be severely punished by the family if you don't manage your subordinates, I would have handed you over a long time ago. Adair sighed helplessly: "Okay, I know." Help me prepare the carriage, I'm going out. ”
"Where are you going? ”
"Go see Jones. I really can't help it, so I'll be honest about everything, and I haven't done anything bad for him anyway. But you'd better not let him know that you've done anything to him. Otherwise, I can't explain it clearly. He wouldn't be honest with me and let me know what was in the envelope. ”
"Don't worry, young master. Master Jones didn't know it was our people. ”
"It's better to be so. ”
......
In the mailbox, Jones was still silent, bored.
The Bloodline is particularly bad on this point, and there are almost no laws to speak of. Chased on the street, Jones didn't know who to turn to for a while.
In fact, the human world is in a similar state. The aristocracy had aristocratic laws, but once they were applied to the commoners, most of them would become invalid. How to enforce the law depends entirely on the mood of the lord. The Bloodline is even worse. At the bottom, it's all about who has the big fist. Although Jones is a high-ranking blood clan, a high-ranking blood clan, and is protected by the blood senate, this is the land of the low-level blood clan.
If something happens in such a place, and I will give you a sentence of "belated justice", isn't it still myself who suffers?
Jones could only wait silently, for the gang to give up, to leave, and then to go back himself. As for how long it will take...... Jones isn't sure either. It all depends on the attractiveness of what is in the envelope.
At the moment, it seems that the contents of the envelope are very attractive.
Suddenly, the door under the mailbox opened.
Jones shrank up in fright, carrying the letter that had been opened.
A green hand was reached in and swept away all the letters. Then there was a "click" and the post box door shut.
"Whew...... It's the postman? ”
All the letters in the mailbox were taken away, and it was so empty that Jones could stay in it in his human form. It's just very crowded.
......
"You let them all go away. In the carriage in the distance, Adair said to the butler, "If Jones is still near there, he will surely come to me when he sees me coming with his escort." With that, the matter is settled. ”
"Okay, young master. ”
The butler cautiously got out of the carriage and stood at the corner of the street to exchange words with a few Bloods, who immediately quietly walked in the direction where Jones was, waving their hands quietly as they went.
The Bloods who were still looking for Jones saw it, and they all turned away one by one.
Soon, Adair's carriage passed in front of Jones's mailbox.
However, at the same time, Jones had already quietly opened the secret door behind the post box from the inside, and slipped out with the envelope.
