Chapter 40 Invitations
"Let's go to Ki Branding first tomorrow to see the situation, we can't give him the bear skin for nothing. Bell handed the bill of goods to Anneza, who had never bought much of his own and knew very little about the value of the goods.
Anelsa took the manifest in Bell's hand, and at first glance she didn't understand, not that she didn't recognize what these goods were, but she didn't understand the value of these things. There was no price on the list given by Ki Brand, and Annesha had a good eye on a few good things, but they really couldn't match the value of the bear skin.
"Why don't we change some weapons? Kou Ning has already given a lot of medicines or something, what we lack now is throwing knives, finger stabs and the like, and it's really inconvenient to use a long sword if you sneak in. Annesha looked at the steel throwing knives and iron finger thorns on the list, and her eyes lit up.
"Yes, I think. You're right, we need some weapons to cover people's eyes. So be it, you go back and pack your rucksack, take a shower here tomorrow, and change your clothes. After tomorrow, you may not be able to change the wash for many days. No way, we have to make the rucksack smaller. Bell stretched and yawned in passing, it was getting late, and he had to cherish the opportunity to sleep peacefully.
Ann Elsa left Bell's room and returned to her room, where she could rest alone for the first time in the last few days, and her nervous spirit could be relaxed for a while.
Since receiving the captain's order, Bell has not caused much trouble for himself, this time he needs to infiltrate the command post, and I am afraid that the future days will be dangerous. Coupled with the fact that the medal was still in Bell's hand, it was even more necessary for him to keep him safe, and there was no need to ask why he didn't snatch it, that night in the jungle had already said everything.
The night passed quickly, and An'esa only felt that the sky was dawning as soon as she closed her eyes. The clerk who delivered the water outside the house was knocking on the door, letting the clerk into the house, the bathtub was filled with hot water, the clerk asked when he left, and only after learning that hot water had been delivered to Bell, did Annesha close the door tightly.
Changed into new underwear, the whole person felt much refreshed, with a sorted backpack and a long sword, and the water bladder was pinned to his waist. Knocking on the door and entering Bell's room, he had been waiting for her for a long time.
"We're going down to dinner today, and we're going to visit Ki after we're done. Bell got up from his chair and picked up his gear to head downstairs.
As soon as the two of them pushed open the door, a maid came from the top of the staircase. Seeing that Bell and An'esa were just going out, they hurriedly greeted them, and their faces were full of sunny smiles: "I'm sorry to disturb the two, there are friends of the two of you downstairs, and I just arrived in the hall on the first floor." ”
Bell and Annesha looked at each other, when did this Vizko outpost have more friends of their own?
Both of them knew each other, except for Kou Ning, who was the base brand. There is also a possibility, it is a member of Anesa's team. It is unlikely that Kou Ning will come, and the people of An'esha's team will not ask the maid to pass the word even if they want to come.
"I kind of know who it is. Bell didn't know whether to be happy or helpless.
An Elsa also guessed eighty percent, but her hand still unconsciously pressed on the sword, the outpost is only so big, and the probability of being found is quite high.
Following the maid downstairs, Bell saw at a glance the man in white with the guard. Seeing the maid bring Bell and Ann Elsa over, Ki Brand, who was sitting at the table, smiled and waved his hand.
The guards beside Ki Branding sent the maid away with a tip of two silver coins, and Bell and the others sat down. There are not many people in the hotel lobby, and only those who check out will get up so early at this time, and some of them will sleep after a day or two. A few people who had breakfast sporadically sat farther away.
"Why did you come to us so early, do you have something to say?" Bell politely replied, but he probably knew the answer.
This Ji brand is obviously a big mouth chatter, and at the dinner at the command post last night, it is estimated that he gossiped about this bear skin. Coming to them today, it's likely that the Commander is interested in Bearskin, or maybe they're interested.
In short, no matter what the reason, as long as he told the outpost commander, he must be suspicious of his commander during this sensitive day.
"Ah, hahahaha. I'll tell you the truth, I'm here to trouble you two for a while. Ki Branding smiled and waved his hand, and the guards behind him stepped forward.
An'esa was shocked in her heart, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword suddenly clenched, could it be that she couldn't do it?
Unexpectedly, the guard stepped forward, took out two small parchment scrolls from his arms, and respectfully placed them in front of them.
"This is an invitation to the banquet at the outpost command post tonight, I wonder if the two of you are interested in going with you?" Ki Branding pulled out a small money bag from his bosom.
"There's some money here, don't get me wrong, it's a little bit of caution on the part of the commander, and I'll do it for you. ”
Bell looked at the things in front of him, and was a little stunned, could this Ji brand be an angel? When he entered the outpost, he not only escaped the interrogation in his car, but also reminded himself that the bear skin he hunted was very special. Thinking of borrowing his strength to enter the command post, this early morning was an invitation and a money bag.
"This, how embarrassing is this. We're two little hunters from the Lancer Empire, this and this!" Bell waved his hands, looking at a loss.
An'esa couldn't figure out the situation even more, this happiness came too suddenly, could it be some conspiracy?
Ji Yan glanced at the guards beside him, motioned for them to stand farther away, turned his head and looked at the two of them with some embarrassment, "You can accept the money and the invitation." To tell you the truth, as soon as I arrived yesterday, the Outpost Commander personally invited me to a banquet. After chatting, I told him about the encounter between you and Bearskin during the day. After hearing this, he was very interested and wanted to meet you. Why don't you ask me to come and invite you? ”
"What kind of interest can there be to us, as long as the commander wants to hunt any prey, he can just send a team of sentries there. Bell was a little worried, the commander was so enthusiastic that he already suspected that he was a Loire hunter.
Ji Xuan also knew that this rash invitation was really abrupt, and he didn't continue to go around the bush at the moment, "Hey, I'll tell you everything." You were able to kill the bear head-on, even though you told me it was accidental, but how could such a thing be so coincidental. I guess you just happened to run into a bear and killed it. ”
Bell and Annesha listened, but the muscles in their legs were secretly tense, and no one knew what this Ki brand was going to say.
"Later, I invited you to ride in the car, and I was secretly observing. I found that your movements were coordinated and your muscles were strong, which further proved my suspicions. And you don't know anything about the necessary knowledge of Orion, so I guess your true identity may not be Orion. Anyway, what Orion doesn't carry a bow and arrow?" Ki Brand's smug look was unmistakable.
When the two of them heard this, they didn't know what to say with their mouths half open. I really don't know if the thing in front of me is really smart, or if it is self-inflicted.
Seeing that the expressions of the two people were so surprised, Ki Xuan was even more sure that his guess was not wrong, and leaned forward and whispered, "Are you a killer or a mercenary?" I thought we could have a good relationship, and maybe we could work together later. At the moment, I don't know what your mission is, but the commander of the outpost, when it was time to hire people, I recommended you to him. ”
