Chapter Seventy-One: Progress

"Important guest?" Tarrant walked over to the butler, "Who?"

"A man who has looked for you several times," said the butler, smiling, pouring the sauce over the condiment.

A danger signal, the instinctive reaction of the adventurer, the old butler rarely showed a satisfied smile, it must be ...... Tarrant had been avoiding her for two days, she must have been angry, and Tarrant was instantly surrounded by a chill.

The old butler picked up the steaming crispy meat rolls, "Catrina will love this." ”

"She's ...... Where?" Tarrant picked up a glass of water from the table and poured it into his mouth, which slowed his beating heart slightly.

"In your room, she seems to be in a good mood. You've been doing well in the past few days," the old butler picked up the basin and walked out.

In a good mood? The boulder in Tarrant's heart was half unloaded, it turned out that Katrina was not angry, it was he who was too careful, he walked to the second floor, how to explain where he had been in the past two days.

Katrina sat behind her desk in her room, reading the newspapers of the past two days, she looked up at Tarrant, but did not speak.

It didn't feel like he was in a good mood, Tarrant stepped forward with a pretended smile, "Great Master, it's amazing that you appeared in front of me when I missed you the most. ”

The mage ignored him.

"Well, I've been in Shelter Light for the past two days, and I don't have any special assignments, so I don't think there's any need to delay your time", Tarrant stared at his hand, and his trial was about to begin.

Katrina put down the newspaper, "I've been to Shelter Light, three times. ”

β€œ......”

"Rex is not at the Andreas Hotel either, you two must be together, premeditated!"

Tarrant scratched his hair with his right hand, and his brain sped up to keep up with the pace of interrogation.

"Someone has been here in the afternoon, what map has arrived", the mage glared at Tarrant fiercely, she was not a fool, of course she knew what it was, she must have missed the big operation.

Tarrant laughed dryly, "That's ......", he really can't find a reasonable reason, in this case, he has to find a topic to divert attention, "By the way, there is something to do at Rex's side in the evening, we can go together." ”

"Rex?" Catrina pouted, "what are you going to do?"

"He wants to borrow the map, the one he said in the afternoon, and we'll go to the Light of Shelter to get the map, and give it to him. ”

Unskilled errand tasks, Catrina didn't like to do these chores, and was excluded from the core of the task by her teammates, she leaned back, lifted her legs on the desk, and the hem of the robe fluttered up, revealing her slender snow-white legs.

The irresistible temptation, as if by magical power, drew the gaze of the side, and as the hem of the skirt covered the skin, Tarrant retracted his attention, he restrained, and in order to avoid making another mistake, he turned and lowered his head, "After the map is sent, we can ...... Take a walk. ”

Slow footsteps sounded on the stairs outside the door, and the time between each step was large, and the old man, Stewart.

He stopped outside the door and knocked twice, "Dinner is ready." ”

"Okay, come right away", Tarrant secretly relieved that he could get rid of the current interrogation situation, he opened the door quickly, "Ma'am, come and enjoy the butler's special dinner for you." ”

"Happy", Katrina's tense expression immediately changed to a smile, and she had to maintain a happy appearance in front of Stewart, she followed Tarrant downstairs, held Tarrant's shoulder, leaned in and whispered, "I'll keep an eye on you!"

The butler stood at the table with a smile, "What are you whispering?" In the old man's opinion, the two in front of him are always like children, fighting and sticking together.

But Tarrant was almost crying and couldn't laugh, and he pulled back the chair next to the table, "Mage, please be seated." ”

Katrina sat down with her robe in her hands, "Thank you", she smiled sweetly, but she looked at Stewart.

Dinner was indeed to Catherina's taste, she ate half a plate of meat rolls, tasted each dish, and was full of praise for the old butler's skill, she put down her fork, "Stewart, you are doing so well, I don't have it at home." ”

"Miss, you don't have to comfort me, an old man. Are you at home these days?" was a reference to Katrina's father, whom Stuart had always called.

"He, he didn't have time to stay in Siant," Catrina wiped her mouth and took a sip of red leaf wine. Her father was a jeweler, specializing in the business of top gemstones, so he had to find sources of red stone all over the country, and he had high requirements for gemstones, the quality, shape, color, and even the origin were very demanding, and the processing and carving after collection also had strict process standards, so the final finished product was very low, but it was a rare collection, and as the demand for luxury goods in various empires expanded, the profits were very considerable.

Tarrant took the last sip and drank the rest of the Rontenay contentedly, "I'm done, I'll have to go to the Light of Sanctuary later, the map thing." ”

"Do you want to go out? Miss Katrina is still here......"

"It's okay," Katrina rubbed her hands gently, "I'll go with him." ”

"Well, you guys take care of safety", the butler understood that he could no longer control the world of young people at his age.

Tarrant pushed away the chair, just to get the map, it shouldn't matter if he didn't have armor, he didn't plan to take the giant sword, there was a three-star dagger in the spirit pattern bag, the thief in the stronghold brought it, it was enough for self-defense.

"Let's go first", Katrina pushed Tarrant outside, smiling and waving goodbye.

Stepping out of the garden at the gate, Katrina's face immediately changed, "Remember what I said last time, you have to take me with you if you have an action!" she slammed into Tarrant's head, "Remember!"

It hurts, and Tarrant touches the sore spot, "Katrina, I'm afraid you'll be hurt. ”

"From now on, I want you to be under my sight, not half a step away!"

"Even if you sleep?"

"Including sleeping!" said Catrina exclaimed.

...... Ratrant held his chin in a daze, "How are you going to spy on me?"

"I've got my own way!" she called a carriage to a halt, glaring at the paladin full of evil thoughts, "just wait." ”

The two of them rushed to the Shelter Light, the atmosphere was a little solemn tonight, although there were still people walking, but they maintained a rare silence, and the guard at the door only bowed his head to Taran, and did not speak.

The last time it was so quiet was a few days after the Battle of Ting Wood Mountain, could it be that something big happened today, Tarrant walked quickly to Ryan's office.

There were four more people at the door of the office, not waiting there, but guarding there, the two guards on the right holding the long sword in yellow full-body armor, and the two guards on the left holding the silver full-body armor long sword.

They are not from the same system, the yellow full-body armor guards should come from the elite guards of the Siante Palace, this kind of royal guard is only responsible for the security of the palace or dealing with heavy events that endanger the national security of HΓ i, and is directly commanded by the king, not under the command of others, and the two on the left are soldiers of the imperial team, looking at the configuration, they also belong to the elite level, they are guarding here, it only means that there are special people in the office, and the reason why the knights are so quiet tonight must be this reason.

Katrina grabbed Tarrant's sleeve and whispered, "Something seems to have happened." ”

"There should be a meeting," Tarrant walked over to the guards.

The four guards immediately set their eyes on the two, and before Tarrant could get closer, one of them shouted, "No entry!"

They were very experienced guards who knew how far they could launch a surprise attack, and if Tarrant didn't stop, four long swords would be aimed at him, and he stopped playfully and smiled apologetically, "Okay, don't be nervous. ”

Can only wait in the hall. When the whole environment is silent, the people in it will be inexplicably infected and remain silent, and then the people who come in will not dare to speak because of the atmosphere, and in this situation, the hall of the light of sanctuary is oppressively uncomfortable.

After about an hour, there was a noise in Ryan's office, the door opened, and a man in a purple court uniform walked out, about forty, with short sharp hair, and he was followed by a man in armor, bald head, short beard, and majestic eyes, they said goodbye to Ryan and walked out, and the four guards left behind them.

Finally over, Tarantra walked into Ryan's office with a yawning Katrina, "Captain." ”

Ryan just sat down, "You're here, who is this?" Neither of them had ever seen each other.

"She's ......"

"New teammate", Katrina knows how to find an opportunity to confirm her identity, so that Tarrant has no way to deny it, she shows a sweet smile, "You are the head of Ryan, it's a pleasure to meet you." "She knows the general situation of the regimental commander.

Ryan politely smiled in return, "Tarrant always has beautiful girls around her, which is enviable, please take a seat." ”

Katrina sat down like an acquaintance, but Tarrant was a little overwhelmed and pulled into the seat next to her.

"You must have been waiting for a long time, the meeting was a bit long. ”

"Who are those two ......?" Tarrant was more interested in their identities.

"Captain of the Royal Guard of the SerenΓ§o and Supreme Commander of the SerenΓ§o Di. ”

The supreme leaders of the two units that represent the strongest combat effectiveness of the empire really have something serious.

The regimental commander explained, "They're here for the spirit-sucking thing. After receiving the map in the afternoon, I analyzed it, and the location of some locations coincided with the high incidence of recent disappearances, which should be true. According to the map, they have many nests, and if no immediate action is taken, something new will arise, so I contacted the two generals and presented them with the evidence, and they agreed with me and said that they would persuade the king to take measures to take action, and when the order for the movement of troops was issued, we would start a full-scale operation to end the battle before the spirits could react. ”

This is good news, and once the Empire decides to take this matter seriously, it will be able to do so quickly.

Tarrant asked again, "Can I borrow the map first?" ”

Ryan crossed his fingers and said in embarrassment: "That picture has been taken away by the captain of the royal guard." ”
