Chapter 92: The Creek Gang
Kenan walked slowly into the lobby of the casino. In the middle of the Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info the casino are rows of tables with some of the world's most unique gambling equipment. For example, there are only sieves on all four sides or something.
Gamblers in twos and threes around several tables nervously looked at the table, some excited, some annoyed, some happy, some beat their chests, and so on.
However, most of the people in the hall were individual visitors. It's just some mercenaries and gamblers who don't have a lot of money. The real big customers are in single rooms, after all, people will have some strange habits as soon as they have money, especially some aristocrats, who boast of being superior, and don't like to mix with these "mud legs".
Kennan walked around the hall and headed straight to the second floor. The two big men stopped at the staircase, and when they saw that Kenan was a fresh face, they hurriedly stopped, "Your Excellency, please show your certificate, otherwise we won't let you go up." ”
Generally speaking, this proof is either an acquaintance's introduction, or money opens the way. However, Kennan is looking for fault today, so naturally he will not give these thugs a good look. Kennan flicked his fingers, and the brawny man collapsed to the ground.
The strong man in the back saw that his partner had fallen and knew that it was not good, so he quickly pulled out the dagger on his waist and stabbed at Kenan.
"A touch of exhaustion. An invisible ripple spread out in all directions, and many of the guards affected by the ripple collapsed to the ground.
Kennan didn't even look at it, and headed straight upstairs. As for the guards who were not affected, they went. Kennan also needed someone to inform their higher-ups. Wait for those high-level officials to come, just to catch them all. Save one by one to find it, it's too troublesome.
After stepping to the second floor, Kennan scanned it with his mental power, and found that the second floor was full of small single rooms. Each room is luxuriously decorated. In each single room, there are several people in gorgeous clothes. Each was accompanied by several scantily clad women. I think it should be some rich businessman or the son of a nobleman.
Kenan thought for a moment, released a touch of exhaustion, and put them all on the ground. The reason why these people were put in place was also to control some of the hostages. As long as the owner behind this casino wants to continue to stay in Harriez City, he will not let so many noble children be controlled by himself. Otherwise, without Kenan's intervention, he would face an attack from the noble forces in Harez.
After checking and finding that there were no fish that slipped through the net, Kenan climbed the stairs to the third floor.
The third floor is much simpler than the first and second floors, with only a study and a few thugs' lounges.
Needless to say, the thugs were drained of their strength by the touch of exhaustion, and they couldn't stand up from the ground. And a middle-aged fat man lay on the ground with his head down, not daring to look up at the man in black who couldn't see his face clearly. For fear that one of the other party will be unhappy, he will kill himself and throw it into the garbage heap. It's like dealing with bad gamblers who can't pay their bills.
Kennan looked at the books with interest. At least in the old and new senses, the books are brand new and don't seem to have been touched.
However, Kennan looked through a few books with great antiquity, but was disappointed. It turned out that these were novels about maidens and knights, or collections of poems written by bards. They are all popular books circulated among some aristocratic ladies, and they are of no value to Kennan at all.
Throwing the book aside, Kenan sat down in the comfortable chair that had belonged to the fat man. "Have your people informed the backer behind you, if you don't come again, I'll hang your head with that wolf's head. ”
When the fat man heard this, he was frightened like chaff, "Great, please wait a moment, Lord Count Kirian will be here soon, this is his most important pillar of industry, and the Count will not leave it alone." ”
"Oh, that's good, as far as you know, who are the Count's men?" Kenan put his feet on the solid wood table, and looked at the fat man lying on the ground with interest.
Seeing the fat man hesitate, Kenan continued, "If you're right, then maybe you'll be able to continue to run this casino, and if you're wrong, hehe, you know the consequences." Now it's time to choose your fate, and you should think about it. ”
When the fat man heard this, he hesitated for a moment, knowing that he was now going to choose to take sides, if he chose the wrong one, it would naturally be a dead end, and if he chose the right one, he would at least be able to save his life. The fat man hesitated for a moment and then made up his mind, "My lord, the Count has a small group of formal knights, a dozen elite wanderers, three hundred pikemen, fifty archers, and it is said that there is also a sword master professional. ”
Hearing the word professional, Kenan's eyes lit up, and he finally had some energy, "Tell me about this professional carefully." ”
The fat man trembled like chaff, "My lord, this kind of confidential thing is not something I can know, the profession in the hands of every adult is a top-secret existence, if it weren't for the chance, I wouldn't have known that there is a sword girl under the earl." ”
Kenan scanned the fat man's mental fluctuations and knew that the fat man must have something to hide. Kennan didn't care, though. People like fat people are rudder when they see the wind and bet at both ends. When he cleans up Count Killian, the first person to surrender is this fat man, and he will definitely do his best to do things for himself. As for now, let's let him lie on his stomach first.
Truth be told, Kennan didn't care if these people were loyal, and if he needed to remain loyal, Kenan had a hundred ways to do it. Kennan is mainly interested in whether the person is useful or not, as long as the person can do things for himself, then it doesn't matter whether he is loyal or not.
Kennan sat leisurely in his chair, his eyes closed, waiting for Earl Cillion's arrival. And the fat man did not dare to stand up without Kennan's order. I had to lie on the ground like this.
After waiting for half an hour, a jumble of footsteps sounded outside the gate of the casino.
Kenan stood up and looked out into the clearing, where there were twelve knights in full-body armor, twenty archers with hardwood longbows, and about a hundred pikemen in leather armor and spears.
The leader of the group, dressed in a black leather coat and with a cross sword straddling his waist, was guarded by twelve knights. Next to the black leather coat was a man wearing a black cloak with a face that could not be seen clearly.
Kennan picked up the fat man, pointed to the man outside, and said, "That person is Earl Killian?"
The fat man glanced at it and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, this is Lord Count Kylian, and the person next to him should be Jian Ji, but I didn't expect Lord Earl to transfer half of the knights." ”
"I didn't expect you Earl to be very rich. It seems that this casino is also a daily profit, if he can't afford to raise these troops just by virtue of the land rent tax in this place, why does he maintain such a large army, is it to rebel?" Kennan asked with interest.
The fat man sneered, not knowing how to answer.
"Well, none of this matters, I'll take over the family business. ”
