Chapter 285: The Nepps Family
In the quiet streets, women in gorgeous clothes chatted among the flower beds, children laughed and played around them, and men greeted each other very gentlemanly.
The inner city is less noisy than the outer city, and the singing and music are the main theme. A patrol of soldiers walked by, and when they saw Bell and Anesa in full arms, they deliberately stepped forward to interrogate them.
After learning that they were escorting the injured businessman home, the patrol team also specially assigned four people to accompany them back.
It is said to protect their safety, but in fact it is just to monitor their whereabouts. Some hijackers would hijack merchants outside the city and then take the opportunity to enter the inner city and loot the victims' property before leaving. These four men were sent to follow the escort in order to prevent that from happening.
Nepps' home was not in the middle of the inner city, and since each squad of soldiers had to know the people who lived in the inner city, Bell only had to follow in the footsteps of the soldiers.
The soldiers had seen Nepps on a regular basis, but they didn't seem to know each other very well. Many people know that there is a silver-haired mute girl in the Nepps family, and the little girl is very cute, and they all say that she will definitely be a beauty when she grows up, but it is a pity that she is a mute......
After following the soldier around the corner, Bell finally saw a garden in the distance. Zhuo'er danced excitedly, and a smile of relief hung on Nepps's face, "It's here, it's my home in front of me." I never thought I'd ever be able to come back here, and I was almost going to die outside. ”
"I can't imagine your home is so beautiful...... Now it's okay, after returning home, take a good rest, I think it should not be difficult to find a good doctor in this city to regulate your body. "Bale is in a good mood and doesn't have the pressure of survival on his shoulders, which makes him feel incredibly relaxed.
"Hmm!" Nepps' smile was hard to suppress. The feeling of coming home has never felt so good to him.
Of the nearby gardens, the merchant's house was not the largest, but the wall was the highest. The stone brick walls are covered with vines and small pale pink flowers blooming on them.
There was no elaborate decoration on the steel fence gate, and two guards stood guard on either side of the gate, and the hilt of the cross-sword at his waist was inlaid with red and blue Florosa gemstones.
The carriage came not far from the gate. A soldier trotted to the door to talk to the guards. When the two guards heard that the master and the young lady had returned, one of them quickly ran over, and the other hurried back to report to the lady.
When the guards arrived, the soldiers asked Bell and Anysha to leave the carriage, a procedure that had to be carried out to further confirm that the merchant had not been kidnapped by the two of them.
After receiving approval from Nepps and the guards, the soldier apologized for his actions. and asked if the two bells were new employees of the businessman.
If so, it will be much easier for the two of them to enter and exit the inner city in the future. They will additionally be allowed to bring more dangerous weapons into the city. All risks are borne by Nepps.
Not wanting to make trouble for the businessman, Bell refused at first. But how could Nepps let go of such an opportunity to repay the favor, and after vouching for the two on the spot, the four Imperial soldiers left.
As soon as the soldier left, a woman hurried over, and when she saw Neps and Drow in the carriage, tears welled up in her eyes, "Drow......! Nepps, oh my God, how did this happen?"
"Let's go in and talk......" Nieps' tears were rolling in his eyes, and he knew very well these days as he looked at his wife's emaciated face. I must have been worried about myself.
The woman nodded, and then she saw a pair of samurai beside her husband. I thought it was my husband's newly hired entourage, so I said thank you and let them go in and rest together.
The two guards were still standing guard outside the garden gate, and the servant who came out of the room helped Nepps into the house. Zhuo'er was held tightly in the woman's arms, checking the child's body distressedly, for fear of bumping into it.
There are three buildings in the garden. In the middle, the largest and most luxurious, is where Nepps and his wife lived. The other two houses belonged to his subordinates and servants, and the other was for the guests.
Normally, the guest rooms are not separated in this way, but the Nepps House is very special. Of course, neither Bell nor Anelsa knew anything about this. The two of them had not been exposed to any upper-class figures, and they did not feel anything wrong with such a house layout.
Sitting on the comfortable sofa in the middle of the hall, Bell knew for the first time that the sofa could be so soft, and after doing it, the whole person was about to sink in.
Nepps introduced Bell and Anysha to the first place, and also introduced them to his wife, Gloria.
After learning that the two were not really employed by her husband, Gloria was almost moved to kneel for the two of them. I never thought that there would be such kind people in the world......
A servant brought black tea, the tea set is made of an unknown ore, and the translucent material makes the red tea look extremely mysterious.
I sent someone to the infirmary to ask for a doctor, but my husband's body was not yet healed. She didn't believe in the medical skills of the witch doctor in the forest, and she could only rest assured after finding a serious doctor for treatment.
The little girl, Zoor, fell asleep tired when she got home, and the mental pressure she had been under the most these days had been the greatest. Gloria was reluctant to let the child sleep in the bedroom by herself, and kept holding her in her arms.
Ever since news of the city of Hitla reached Zekuta, Gloria had been very worried about her husband. A lot of people have been sent to inquire about her husband's news, but because there are too many robbers on the road, the specific news has never been able to reach her.
After finding the Mercenary Guild, someone took over the task of finding Nepps and Drow. But since the mission was picked up, there has been no news from those mercenaries until now.
They were said to have died in the woods the day after their departure, but she had no way of confirming the news.
tried almost every means to find out the news of her husband and daughter, but she almost broke down when she got feedback. All kinds of hearsay turned into a catastrophe, and at one point it was even said that the city of Hitra was completely destroyed and everyone died there.
At first, she had some hopes, but as time went on, her husband and daughter remained unfounded. Until the latest bounty system was released, the mercenaries cleared up the bandits along the road.
But even so, there is still no news from them...... Gloria's spirit was almost broken, she couldn't sleep day and night, she washed her face with tears all day long, and she didn't want to ...... (To be continued.) )
