536. Night Meeting

The 'Warriors and Roses' adventure party of thirteen young nobles became famous overnight, and the whole city of Pena talked about last night.

A large number of knights of the guard battalion once again gathered in the old noble area and launched a carpet search, trying to find some clues.

According to the analysis of the magicians of the Magic Guild's law enforcement team, the magician who snatched the crystal key last night should be a member of the Darkmoon Gate, so this time the Magic Guild of Bena City also dispatched a large number of magicians to investigate the matter.

The young magician Jimmy was sitting in the investigation room of the Pena City guard camp, he was holding a cup of tea in his hand, and the tea leaves were slowly spinning in the glass, Jimmy looked up impatiently and glanced at the knight in front of him.

Sitting beside him were Luke, a sword and shield warrior, and several other male members of the party.

As for the noble ladies who have returned to the Bednar Swordsman Academy, a place like the guard camp is not a place where they should be, and it will affect their reputation, considering their noble status, so the investigation of them will not be carried out on the side of the guard barracks.

Across from him sat two Grand Knights of the Guard Battalion, one of whom was Captain Claus of the Third Brigade of the Guard Battalion of Bena City, the other was Captain Claus's assistant Knight Garland, and next to the two Grand Knights sat the magicians of the Wizarding Guild Law Enforcement Regiment, who carefully recorded the words that Jimmy recounted......

Jimmy had already told him about what happened last night five times, and he was a little impatient and flicked his ass in his chair. strand, and then look at the two magicians next to them.

It's just that the two magicians from the Bernard Magic Guild are not familiar with Jimmy, and they participate in the investigation of the guard battalion as observers, and they do not have the right to interrogate.

"I noticed the magic crystal because there were mana fluctuations on that wall, and as a magician, I could sense the fluctuations of the magic elements in my surroundings, and everyone was still looking around the showroom for clues...... "Jimmy said.

After tossing all night, his head was a little groggy, and he wanted to go home and take a comfortable hot bath and lie down on the soft big bed for a good night's sleep.

He sneered in his heart: this group of useless guards battalion knights did not arrest the magician, but repeatedly interrogated themselves, as if they were interrogating prisoners, this feeling was really bad.

Jimmy said: "I know the specific steps of setting magic gems, and I know that as long as I find a specific point in the groove of the gem, I can pry the magic crystal out of the groove, but I didn't realize that when the dagger was inserted, the magic crystal actually split in half. ”

Grand Knight Klaus's sharp eyes stared at the young nobleman with dark circles under his eyes, he was not interested in this kind of aristocratic gentleman, although there were two magicians sitting beside him, he still asked unceremoniously, "You mean that the crystal key was broken when it came to you?" ”

If it weren't for sitting in the investigation room of the Pena City Guard Camp, Jimmy would have liked to stand up and point to the bridge of the nose of the big knight in front of him and yell at him.

But it was impossible for him to do so at the moment, after all, it was on someone else's territory, so he could only patiently reply, "If that magic crystal is really the crystal key, I'm sure it was already split in half at that time." ”

"At that time...... No one thought that the magic crystal might be the crystal key, oh, we guessed that it was a possibility, but we didn't think much of it. Jimmy kept telling himself to be patient, that if something so big had happened, and that if he had just said something wrong, it would probably be very bad for him.

The way this hateful group of guards camp knights did it was like interrogating the prisoners, not treating them as heroes who had found clues, which made Jimmy feel a little aggrieved, and the temporary adventure party credentials in front of him didn't seem to work.

“…… Caught off guard, a fireball exploded in our crowd, and by the time I could react, the magic crystal had already been snatched away! ”

Jimmy continued impatiently.

His voice became a little hoarse, and he took a sip of tea......

In fact, the news had already spread last night.

And it immediately caused an uproar in Bednar City, and the crystal key that had been looking for many days was actually hidden in the showroom of Bradbury Manor, and the most likely thing was that the rebels who ransacked the manor did not take this crystal key at all, and the knights of the guard battalion and the magicians of the law enforcement regiment did not know anything about it.

It can be seen from this that how perfunctory their investigation over the past few days has been is simply the biggest joke of the year:

'The lost item has always been there, and the knights of the guard battalion and the magicians of the Law Enforcement Corps have been dispatched throughout Bena City, even throughout Bena Province to find the whereabouts of the Crystal Key. ’

"Maybe the crystal key is a bit of a home, and he ran back from outside with long legs......

Whatever the explanation, it can be the most bizarre talking point.

Under considerable pressure, the guard battalion brought these young nobles with various family backgrounds to the guard camp for a detailed investigation.

It is precisely because of this that no matter how Knight Klaus repeatedly interrogated Jimmy, the two magicians next to him remained silent, and they also held a fire in their hearts:

It's a!

……

When Surdak returned to Bradbury Manor last night, the manor was already in shambles.

I didn't expect this incident to make such a big move.

He took advantage of the chaos to walk out of the corner of the closet in the showroom, and there was no one in the showroom.

When he came out of the mansion, he found that the outside of the manor was full of knights from the Bednar Guard Battalion.

Unhurriedly, he draped himself in a guard battalion cloak, and on his chest. Wearing a guard battalion knight badge in front of him, he walked naturally and casually, and even nodded with a smile at the guard battalion knight who came from the opposite side, and then left Bradbury Manor all the way unimpeded, and no one stepped forward to question him the whole time.

He returned to the hotel, closed the curtains, and slept until daylight.

In just one day, news of the mysterious appearance of the Crystal Key at Bradbury Manor spread.

He didn't expect this matter to make such a big fuss, he originally only hoped that this matter could spread on a small scale, and he only hoped to divert the attention of the group of magicians from the Dark Moon Gate, and not always keep an eye on Vol Village, but now, ...... It seems that it is really a little unclear.

The magicians of the Darkmoon Gate knew that the magician of Kirdon had obtained the crystal key, and now the crystal key had reappeared in Bena City, and the news spread quickly.

Although the magicians of the Darkmoon Gate will not talk about this matter everywhere, and even if they do, not many people will believe it, but they will definitely continue to investigate this matter.

Wizard Kirdon died in the village of Wall, and it seems that his side really can't afford any investigation.

Surdak scratched his head in a bit of pain, thinking seriously about how to silence the magicians of the Dark Moon Gate, knowing that this would be the case, and he should have honestly handed over this magic crystal in the first place.

'Tuk Tuk'

There was a knock on the door, and Surdak jumped out of bed alertly, and he walked quickly to the table, grabbed the blood-red crescent, and walked to the door.

Opening the door, the hotel waiter stood outside with a smile on his face.

"Baron Surdak, here's a reply from you!"

The waiter looked at Surdak expectantly, a smile on his face.

Surdak then reacted, and the waiter was ready to accept his tip.

It's just that he was a little nervous just now, and he didn't prepare the tip in advance, not only that, but he also held a saber in his hand, no wonder the waiter's smile only remained for 2 seconds, and then it became a little stiff, Surdak returned to the room, took out a few copper plates from the money bag hanging on the bedroom hanger and stuffed them into the waiter's hand.

"Thank you for your generous ......"

When the waiter said this, his smile looked exaggerated.

Surdak ignored it, closed the door, and cut open the envelope with a skinning knife, pulled out the letter inside, and unfolded it, revealing that it was a reply letter from a new Marquis de Luthor.

Marquis Luthor did not expect Surdak to arrive in Pena City so quickly, and he bluntly said that he admired Surdak as a young nobleman who was very efficient.

He was going to invite Surdak to his home for dinner on Saturday, which was said to be followed by a small ball.

Surdak didn't have much resistance to Marquis Luther's wooing, after all, it was Marquis Luthor's recommendation that he could become a noble baron.

……

After waiting until the evening, there was no news from Hathaway and Beatrice, and Surdak thought that maybe they were being watched too closely by the family, and it was possible that the letter he had written did not reach the two of them, or that they had seen it, but they had not had time to reply.

Surdak was going to the restaurant downstairs for a casual meal, then went back to his room to continue meditating to see how he could light up the dark stars in his body.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard another sharp knock at the door, and Surdak opened it.

Two noble ladies wearing lake-blue conical hats with flowers, and their faces covered with a black veil, and wearing dark flower court dresses, stood in the doorway, and behind them was an innkeeper.

Hathaway gave Surdak a big hug, followed by Beatrice, who was similarly dressed, and Surdak took a silver coin from his bosom, tossed it to the hotel waiter, and closed the door.

"Knight Surdak, I didn't expect you to come directly from Highlandsa, seeing your letter, I don't want to wait for a moment, I just want to come and see you as soon as possible......"

The cone hat adorned with flowers on her head fell to the ground, her long golden hair spread out behind her like a waterfall, and her eyes like emeralds and gems looked at Surdak with affection, her eyes full of excitement and ...... Enthusiastic.

Surdak wrapped his hands around the girl's slender waist, feeling the energetic body clinging to her, and he could even see Hathaway's milky white face covered with a red glow, and she had a desperate urge to close her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly.

Surdak swallowed the phrase 'Actually, I'm here to do some business in Bena City, and I'm stopping by to see you' back in his stomach.

"I heard you were grounded, so how did you get out?" Surdak asked Hathaway with his hands on her rounded shoulders.

Hathaway pursed her lips and glanced back at Beatrice beside her.

"Hey, do you just think of me now?" Beatrice, with a round face, stood beside Hathaway and complained.

Hathaway's face turned redder, and she quickly let go of Surdak and flashed to the side.

"I'm sorry!"

Surdak stretched out his hands towards Beatrice.

Much more generous than Beatrice Hathaway, she hugged Surdak generously, kissed Surdak on the cheek with her soft lips like rose petals, then stood on tiptoe, stretched her neck, and whispered in Surdak's ear:

"We ran out secretly, we used a magic crystal to buy off the guards guarding the tower, and secretly ran out of the back door."

Beatrice, with a round face, had a sly smile in her eyes.

"Won't you provoke more anger in the family?"

Surdak asked, somewhat stunned.

The two of them were so bold that they ran over so desperately.

Hathaway furrowed her delicate eyebrows and said, "I've been grounded and locked up in the tower, and they won't do anything to me." ”

"We didn't plan to go back this time, we plan to live with you in Highland City for a while......"

Beatrice whispered beside her.

“……”

Surdak was speechless for a moment.

He didn't hide the fact of marriage from them, even if they secretly had feelings for each other, didn't Hathaway really mind this?

I heard that many rich ladies have romantic feelings, maybe Hathaway is just impulsive, and he is not slow, of course, he can feel Hathaway's fiery feelings, and he also knows some of her thoughts and thoughts, and he has always withdrawn and passively accepted these things.

It's just that there are some things he wants to protect, and he doesn't want to make a mess of them.

After all, the relationship between him and the old Sheila has just eased, and it has just eliminated some of the mustard in the old Sheila's heart.

At this time, he didn't want to take Hathaway back to Wall.

"I haven't enjoyed the beautiful night view of Pena City, and I don't know if I have the honor to spend such a beautiful night with the two young ladies." Surdak avoided Beatrice's topic and said to the two noble ladies.

"Okay, I haven't been out for a long time to breathe, let's go to Victory Square for a walk......"

Beatrice immediately responded.

Hathaway has no opinion on this.

She was a little worried just now that if the three of them really spent one night in Surdak's hotel room, would she agree to Surdak's desire to make some excessive requests, after all, the aristocratic education she received since she was a child subtly told her how to clean herself and love herself before marriage......

Now you don't have to worry about that, it's a good idea to visit Bena City at night.
