Chapter 229: A false alarm

These, coupled with the news obtained by the Spider Guild through some official channels, all of these converged and finally came to a conclusion.

The warriors surrounding the Fleet had withdrawn, but a brief battle took place at a large trading house northwest of the city of Matt, and the city guards arrived and both sides quickly withdrew.

After the incident, the city guards in charge of public security did not continue to investigate, and people nearby saw it. The city guards took several hounds from the vicinity of the battle.

In the panic of the whole family, Huigang, the girl and Alina's calmness, three days of quiet days passed. The old baron was relieved.

Suddenly three more people came to the family to eat, and the Fleet family, which was already a little difficult, suddenly became a little stretched. Old Fleet thought that this was not the way to go, but there was still some cloth in the shop, and it would be a subsidy to sell it cheaper when the time came.

The monk originally asked himself to go and see the situation, but was stopped by the old baron, although he knew that his son was very skilled, but many years of businessmen and the last three years of enduring silence made the old man feel that more things were better than less. So send the butler Carter to find out.

After all, Huigang has not run the daily life of a family, but Fei'er is quite smart to see the family's financial embarrassment. The monk was embarrassed to hand over the gold coins he had brought from Drew to the old man. When the old baron saw this, he was naturally happy in his heart, and then he stood up from his chair, and said with some anxiety and regret:

"If I knew this, I wouldn't let Carter go, and now the limelight hasn't subsided, so don't be in any danger. ”

Although the amount of gold brought from Drew was not large, it was enough to support the family for a few years. After all, the money of dukes, marquises, and princes of the Drew Empire is naturally extremely extravagant.

Unexpectedly, by noon, Carter still did not return. Although the cook and the gardener didn't feel anything, old Fleet began to get anxious, and Fleet's mother also complained a few words after knowing what happened, and in general, after all, how could people who had been together for so many years be so reckless and sent out.

Then he was even more anxious, and the behavior of his parents and the old man made the monk feel impatient, and he didn't say hello and went straight to the street where the shop was located.

Although there are people on the road, the seemingly ordinary speed of the monk on the road is actually extremely fast.

Therefore, the locals on the street saw a young man with blond hair hurrying past him, and the speed was not fast, but often in the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Maybe it disappeared into the crowd, no one talked about it anymore. Soon the monk arrived on the street where the shop was located. Strangely, it looks so much busier than yesterday. Many people naturally remember the young man who was almost invincible yesterday, and soon knew from the rumors that this was the scandal of three years ago, oh no, it should be the protagonist of the legend.

The descendants of the paladin family who escaped from the thunder torture platform, the surrounding merchants, whether they knew anyone or not, came over to greet respectfully, and the cloth shop where Sarson was located closed the door and asked the people on the side. I realized that after I left yesterday, the carriage collapsed, and then the store was closed, and I didn't see anyone in or out this morning.

Hui Gang also inquired whether the old housekeeper had come or not, and everyone said they hadn't seen it.

At this moment, the monk was also a little anxious, and walked quickly to the door of his shop. I found that the storefront and the surrounding area, which were still a little old and messy, were all sorted out and renewed, and it was obvious that someone had cleaned them very carefully.

I couldn't help but wonder a little in my heart, this is not the time to care about these things, I want to look for it all over the city, and I don't care about anything shocking, the true qi on my legs and feet gathered, and I nodded lightly. It was as if it was flying on the ground, and it ran.

These people present are extremely lucky to see this kind of martial arts that they have almost never seen in their lives today, and at least there will be a lot of talk in their boring lives in the future.

At this time, it is the time when the crowds are surging and lively. There were a lot of people on the street, but the monk who was moving quickly did not jump on the roof of the house, but kept walking in the crowd, but he did not bump into it at all, and those people were only surprised to see a figure whizzing by.

But when I looked at it, I didn't notice anything but a gust of wind and strangers around me.

After looking for four streets, Hui Gang found that his method was really a little clumsy, so he had to give up and return home, and the anxiously waiting old baron at home first complained a few words, and then asked:

"How's it going, Carter, did you find it?"

His voice trembled slightly, obviously worried in his heart. The monk shook his head a little frustratedly, and when the old baron saw this response, he smashed his hand with his fist, and said with some regret:

"You should wait a few more days, and with the money in your hand, you can support it for a while longer. ”

The monk thought about it, but he didn't know what to say at this time. After a while, he spoke:

"If anything happens to Carter, I'll put down the people who offended our family. ”

The old baron's complaint stopped abruptly, and he looked at his son on the side in amazement, Hui Gang's complexion did not change, and he had already decided in his heart that it was probably the hands and feet of the big fat man yesterday, and he would go to find out what was going on tonight. Old Fleet shook his head slowly. It seems that his child has changed a lot, after all, he hasn't seen him for three years.

When it was time for dinner, the cook asked casually, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. But the old baron didn't know what to say, although there was already good meat on the table because of the monk's gold coins, and the monk still took the bread and ate the salted vegetables. His face sank, and he thought to himself that if Carter hadn't returned after dinner, someone in Matt City would have to be punished.

Soon, when the supper was finished in a muffled voice, old Fleet and Hui Gang went together into the courtyard, and the old baron sighed and said to the monk:

"Do you remember, old Carter used to be a very arrogant man, and no one thought that after our family fell, he would stay in our house and not want to leave. “

After speaking, he sighed again, obviously with infinite emotion.

Just when the atmosphere was a little sad, a carriage stopped rumbling outside the courtyard, and a loud voice was heard outside:

"It doesn't matter, the little master of our family has grown up watching me since I was a child, and he still listens to my words, you can rest assured!"

The father and son in the courtyard looked at each other quite strangely, and they both heard the voice of the butler Carter, and the worry in their hearts flashed.

Hearing that it was not a person who got off the carriage outside, there were a few old butlers who were supporting their flirty steps, and said with a smile:

"For those misunderstandings that happened yesterday, I still have to ask the honorable Baron and the knight to bear with me, and please say a few more kind words. ”

With the old butler's vague promises and frivolous footsteps, the door creaked open. Although the distance is not close, the smell of alcohol still comes to the face. Old Carter may not have drunk so much for a long time, and you must know that the wine in this world is not too cheap consumer goods.

Those who brought the butler back did not follow him up the steps. Hui Gang didn't pay attention to who was in the carriage outside, and didn't bother to pay attention.

Old Carter walked in and almost fell at his feet, not drunk, but a little too excited. Seeing two people standing opposite, although it was already dark and he couldn't see clearly, he still reluctantly straightened up, and the old baron spoke:

"Carter, you've been worrying us for a day, look what you're like right now!"

In the past few years, the master and servant have been through hardships together, and they don't pay so much attention to each other, and they seem to be close friends with each other, but there is a faint anger in their tone just now, and although their minds are dizzy, Carter's butler has woken up a little.

Rubbing his face vigorously, this old man, who is not young, regained some of his spirits and said:

"This morning, I cautiously went to the street, and a few people caught up with me before I went too far, I began to panic, thinking that it was those people who came to us yesterday to find our trouble, I was scared to death, I didn't expect these people to be particularly respectful, and invited me to the Rose Hotel, saying that yesterday's things were all misunderstandings, hoping to make up for the mistakes......"

Old Carter, who was not fully awake, spoke upside down, but the meaning was understood, that is, the people who had the conflict yesterday felt a special trepidation about what they had done, and hoped that they would have the opportunity to apologize, and so on.

Old Carter's wine had already come up, and he was helped to his lodgings by the gardener who had rushed over, and the old baron pondered for a long time and couldn't figure out why, but Hui Gang was very free and easy, and said to the old man calmly:

"Since there's nothing to do, let's rest early. ”

Vincent was the leader of the Thieves' Guild in the province of Eskar and parts of several nearby provinces, and was no more than a high-ranking thief three years ago. However, because of the decisive encroachment on the cloth market in this area, they successfully entered the formal commercial channels, and opened up new sources of income for the spider guild, which operated the black market, smuggling prostitution and casinos for its main business.
