Due to the lack of water, the city of Fotagan paid great attention to the protection of the artificial river that was brought into the city from the Ridi River. The artificial river is completely within the boundaries of the gold and silver areas, and the buildings on both sides of the river are strictly controlled distances, all to avoid pollution of the river.

Therefore, the buildings that can be built along the river in the city of Vortagan are absolutely valuable. Even if it's just a restaurant, as long as it's on the riverside in the city of Vortagen, then the price of a meal here is enough to bankrupt the average family.

Of course, for those who have money, it is not uncommon to enjoy the cool river view while dining in the restaurant, not only to show off their financial resources, but also to reflect their status. Or, on the other hand, it would be a great shame for the nobility of Vortagan to not be able to dine in such a restaurant.

And of all the restaurants that are located by the river, the Hearthburger restaurant is definitely the most prestigious. Even the average aristocracy may not be able to afford the consumption here.

Now Kelsusa was sitting on the second floor of the Hearthburger restaurant, and the bright lights of the city of Vortagen at night reflected the golden water outside, but Kelsusa had no intention of admiring the scenery at all, and his attention was completely focused on his most precious pet.

"Why don't you eat it, Mr. Bigswolf?, is it that the dried fish here is not to your liking?" he looked at Mr. Bigswoll lying on the table listlessly, and his eyebrows were so worried that he almost dragged them to the table.

However, although Krsusa was terrified, Mr. Bigswolf paid no attention to his master's intentions, and his furry face wrinkled into a very unhappy expression, and he was so disgusted that he did not want to look at Krsusa.

"Hmm......" Krsusa could not read Mr. Bigswolf's mind, and he stretched out his hand to touch Mr. Bigswow, but as soon as his hand was halfway out, he was hit by Mr. Bigswow's wagging tail.

"Do you want a change of taste?" Kelsusa hurriedly took the roast chicken breast from the plate next to him, and handed it to Mr. Bigswow as if he were offering a treasure, "a piece?"

"Meow!" Mr. Bigswolf did not accept this, and slapped the chicken breast handed by Kelsusa.

"Hmm......" Krsusa looked at Mr. Bigswolf pitifully, as if the cat was the master and he was only a minion.

"It's hard to guess the mood of a cat, don't always try to please it. Rodney popped up at the table and slapped a small black jar on the table, "Try this." ”

Kelsusa craned her neck and stared at the small can on the table.

"What is this?" he said, frowning slightly, poking the can with his finger.

"It's not bad. ”

Krsusa raised his face and looked at Rodney with a skeptical expression, clearly not trusting Rodney's words.

Out of caution, Kelsusa opened the can and saw that it was full of small pieces of food, and he carefully pinched a piece with his fingers and put it in his mouth to taste it.

"Hmm—it tastes good, but it's a little weird, what the hell is this?"

Rodney stared at Kelsusa, his face twitching.

"That's cat food. ”

"Oh, cat food. Under Rodney's surprised gaze, Kelthusa nodded calmly, as if he didn't mind eating cat food at all.

"Mr. Bigswolf, this is delicious cat food, would you like some?"

Mr. Bigswuff's response to Kelsusa was the same - a slap in the face of the cat food that Krsusa had handed him.

"Hmm......" Kelsusa was already on the verge of crying.

Rodney, who was on the sidelines, watched coldly at the dramatic movements of Kelsusa and Mr. Bigswoff, without saying a word or giving advice.

In the end, Krsusa, in desperation, had no choice but to let Mr. Bigswolf lie lazily on the table, hoping that when Mr. Bigslaw would be hungry and would remember to eat.

"Cats are the hardest things to serve, and I really can't figure out why you would bring a cat with you on a mission. Rodney sat down at the table, "Hopefully it won't affect your ability to carry out your mission." ”

"Don't worry, since I have accepted your commission, I will definitely get things done. Speaking of business, Kelsusa's expression immediately changed, "However, you came to me in such a hurry, there must be something else, right?"

Rodney propped his elbows on the edge of the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes making the old man look more incomprehensible.

"I want to know about Arnold Svan Feglaf. ”

"Oh, Arnold?" Kelsusa raised an eyebrow and looked at Rodney with interest, "I do know a friend named Arnold, but Arnold Svan Feglaf ......"

"It's the Arnold you know. Rodney interrupted Kelsusa's deliberate dragging tone, "There's no need to play dumb riddles with me, I've already met that 'friend' of yours today." ”

"Really?" Krsusa nodded, but his expression was unconcerned, and his eyes were still on his cat.

Of course, Rodney would not be satisfied with Kelsusa's attitude.

"Why don't you tell me about your friend, he made a good first impression on me, full of wisdom and politeness, you should know him better after two days, right?"

"It's just a meeting in the water, and I don't know much. Kelsusa shook her head, not intending to talk deeply.

"So, what can you tell me?" Rodney's brow furrowed, as if he was finally getting impatient, "I paid you sixty-five thousand imperial gold, and I didn't want to hear the news that you were causing me trouble. Even the Dark Brotherhood should understand that there is a bottom line for bargaining, don't always try to test the bottom line of patience with your cards, if you really touch it, believe me, you won't make anything. ”

"Huhu, don't be angry just yet. Kelsusa took a sip of the wine from the glass, "Isn't this also doing what you tell me to do? I don't think there is anything wrong with the contract, and besides, did I say that I would ask you to increase the price?"

"Then tell me directly, how is your investigation!" Rodney suddenly slapped the table, and his voice became louder, "What are you trying to do? Now, I want you to tell me what the news I bought for 65,000 imperial gold, what is the content!"

In the face of Rodney, whose momentum suddenly skyrocketed, Kelsusa was still not arrogant or impatient, leaning on the back of his chair and leisurely savoring the aftertaste of the wine.

"Ah, yes, sixty-five thousand bought news. He held his head high, his face flushing, "Which part do you want to hear first?"

Rodney squinted, he was not an inexperienced stunned man, and he would habitually keep a cautious eye all the time.

"From the beginning, go into detail and say everything I asked. He stared at Kelsusa's lips, not letting go of a syllable's fluttering, "I have good patience, and I will never be angry if you do what I ask." But if you can't tell me what I want to know, then, I'm sorry, I'm going to have a bad patience. ”

Krsusa put her hands behind her head, still staring at the ceiling with her head held high.

"You can't tell, can you?" Rodney's narrowed eyes with a dangerous glint, "Tell me, what exactly is my commission?"

Kelsusa lowered her head and looked at Rodney.

The two of them looked at each other.

"What are you suspicious of, or what are you anxious about?" Kelsusa was not at all in a hurry, and stayed in his seat peacefully, "afraid that I will not be able to give an answer, or will I suspect that I am a fake?"

Krsusa didn't look at Rodney's reaction, and laughed to himself.

"What are you worried about, what other organization in this world can steal the information of the Dark Brotherhood and then ......" Krsusa squinted his eyes and stared at Rodney in the same way as Rodney, "to pretend to be someone from the Dark Brotherhood and tell you the information about Lubigand?"

Rodney's lips twitched, and his face became a little unsightly.

"Don't worry, although we don't have much left, at least we still have a little credibility, and we will definitely do the commission we accept. Kelsusa lay comfortably on the back of the chair and shook the chair, "Since you have no sense of humor, then I'll tell you what you want to know, heh, look at your appearance, you really doubted it just now, right?"

Rodney didn't have Rickel Susa's taunts, just stared into his eyes, waiting for the next words.

"According to our intelligence in the lower realms, Lubignd is indeed missing, or should the word 'disappear' be more appropriate. He hasn't been there for a long time. Moreover, the Mana Browns did not react at all, but from elsewhere, some interesting information was revealed. ”

"For example?" Rodney rubbed his beard, his face calm.

However, Kelsusa only looked at Rodney quietly and did not answer the other party's question immediately.

And Rodney was also quite patient and waited for the other party's next step.

"About three or four days ago, there was a piece of information that Lord Ashtalus had an operation in the human realm, but the content of the operation, including the specific time and place, was unknown, and the only thing that can be determined is that the time period of this operation roughly coincides with the time node you provided. ”

"You mean, there's a shadow of Lord Ashtaru behind this?" Rodney's hand shook as he heard Ashtaru's name, and accidentally plucked one of his beards, "I hope you're not joking with me, because it's not fun at all." ”

"No one dares to joke with the names of the Nine Grand Dukes of Hell, and the source of the information is quite accurate, the intricate relationships between the lower realms are far better than those of the most power-seeking courts, and the open and secret battles of the great demons are all too common, but this time the storm will probably be more dangerous than any previous time. ”

Krsusa turned his gaze out the window and looked at the sparkling river, his expression extremely calm.

"There is also the inconspicuous but also noteworthy news that during this time, Lord Belel has also been to the human realm. ”

"Lord Bellier!" this time, Rodney couldn't help but exclaim, "how is it possible, that Lord has almost never been to the human realm...... Why did he appear in the human realm? What is behind the disappearance of Lord Lubigand...... How many things are involved?"

"Far more than you think. Kelsusa's gaze continued to stretch outward, and he saw that a group of people seemed to enter the already closed gate and slowly came to the city, "Therefore, I advise you, only on the basis of our long-standing business relationship, it is better not to go any further, it is not easy for you to deal with the matter before you now, if you insist on finding the real reason behind these events, then ...... I'm afraid you've lost more than one lord. ”

Rodney's expression was cloudy, and he pondered for a long time, looking at the lights outside that lit up the city, but he couldn't make a decision.
