Chapter XXVIII
Next, the team did not encounter anything strange like what happened in the village, and the team also accelerated the pace of the march because they were afraid of any more dangers, trying to ensure that they could rest in the town, and gradually a month passed, and the pedestrian caravan on the road also increased, which also indicated that Russell and they were about to arrive at the imperial capital of St. Caron.
Towards evening, everyone finally reached the end of the trip, the city of Fein. It was originally a small fishing village, but since the founding emperor of the empire was nearby, the small village has also developed into the city of Fein, next to the capital of the empire, which is combined with the other three cities to form the Acropolis, which is used to protect the safety of St. Caron.
After paying the entrance fee, Russell and they entered the city, which is really a big city, even the inn is larger than the market in the town, and Russell has not had a good rest for a long time, so he gritted his teeth and rented a large hotel for rest.
I wanted to have a few drinks with everyone to celebrate their safe arrival at their destination, but Cuckoo got up and said goodbye, indicating that he was leaving. Russell knew that she had something important to do, so he didn't force her to stay, got up and escorted her to the door of the hotel.
Cuckoo looked at everyone who was drinking and laughing, a heartfelt smile appeared on her face, she looked at the door to beat Russell, she said softly: "Russell, you must be careful, I know you want to investigate the reason why your father was wronged, I think this reason may be related to the mystery, if you find a related connection, you must not pursue it too much, this is not something you can meddle in." ”
Russell agreed, and replied, "I'll be careful!"
The cuckoo looked at him, wanted to speak and stopped, suddenly he looked at the alley on the side of the street and was silent, saluted him, took up his hood, and wanted to walk in the box, Russell watched her leave, and suddenly noticed that there were several people in the alley in the distance who were dressed somewhat similar to the cuckoo and the cuckoo converged together, and after a few people talked a few words, they left in a hurry, and the figure of the cuckoo gradually disappeared into the crowd.
Russell crossed his hands and returned to the banquet, Carter looked at Russell who was deep in thought, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, the good friend is gone, and I'm not happy?"
Russell glared at him, "Drink yours!" He forced himself to calm down and think about the plans for the imperial capital that was about to begin.
The weather was always unexpectedly changeable, the sun was still shining in the afternoon, and in the evening it began to rain heavily, and Saint-Caron, not far from the city of Fein, was also covered in rain, and it began to rain heavily.
However, this did not stop the nobles from having fun, and the glamour and delicacies made people linger, and the most popular person of late, Carlos's uncle, His Excellency Haman, could not be invited to this banquet.
Although he was nearly forty years old, he was still nominally single, coupled with his handsome and dignified appearance, he was also very popular with aristocratic women and ladies, and he was talking to the ladies of the aristocratic families at this time, and from time to time he said some jokes that had not been heard in the imperial capital, which provoked the celebrities to ignore the etiquette and cover their mouths and laugh.
In the internal test of the room, two people who were shrouded in darkness and couldn't see their faces clearly, looked at Haman, who had become the focus of everyone, and one of them provoked the topic: "Your Excellency, you see how this subordinate I have selected, his mind is not bright, but he has a beautiful mouth, it is very suitable as a character for our organization to contact outside." ”
Another tall figure made a piercing sound like a duck's call: "This person is okay, give him some benefits and he will be desperate, and it is easy to control, but I recently got a message that someone is investigating our organization, do you know this situation?"
Cold sweat flowed from the other person's head, and he hurriedly bent down to apologize: "Your Excellency, my subordinates know that I have made a mistake, I have been a little careless recently, please give me a little time, I will definitely find out those people who covet our organization and send them to you for you to dispose of!"
The tall man was noncommittal, and the person next to him retreated when he saw this, and the man picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, not knowing what he was thinking.
Haman in the living room was still talking loudly, causing bursts of laughter, and the magnates outside had no idea how much evil was growing.
