Chapter 1357: Xiaoguan'er (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

While the battle under the Vatino was in full swing, General Veraprani, the commander of the Semitic Western Front, did not know that another war had quietly begun in his newest fiefdom, the kingdom of Ripol.

At this time, in the center of the kingdom of Riboel, the city of Ripol was raining heavily.

The rain seemed to fall directly from mid-air, and it fell to the ground with a loud 'whoosh' sound.

The rain washed over all the trees, houses, and ground ......

The water on the ground was getting deeper and deeper, and soon it was not enough to reach the surface of the feet, and it was still rising.

Rainwater flows like a stream down the streets, and the city's poor drainage system makes it difficult to drain away.

A blinding blue and white electric light instantly illuminated the earth, and then a deafening roar exploded in the low sky: 'Click......'

In the moment of electric lightning, a palace under construction in the distance revealed its tall and gorgeous appearance, and then sank into darkness again.

Even if it is just a glance in the blink of an eye, you can see the grandeur of the palace, even if it is still under construction, the dome of the main hall has towered into the sky.

On the entire continent, such a magnificent palace is rare.

This represents the royal bearing of the splendid and shows the strength and wealth of the new kingdom

The thunder rumbled, like a huge wheel, rolling over the city and fading away.

At this time, in the city of Ripol, the doors of every house were closed, and there were hardly any open shops in the whole city, and the entire lower city was like a dead city.

Although the old Joseph's inn in the west of the city was not among them, and he still gritted his teeth and insisted on keeping the door open, the gray-haired proprietor sat behind the counter and looked at the empty street. But it was a strong sigh.

He looked at it in a daze for a long time. Then turn your head. Watching the rain flow down the eaves, he couldn't help but sigh again, and muttered: "Dog, the demon people don't give them a way to live, and the business is not good, and now even God is against me." โ€

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot and took a sip of tea. found that the pot of tea had already been cold, but he was reluctant to pour it out, and couldn't help but sigh again,

He turned around and swept the hall.

I saw that the hall was empty, except that on the opposite wall hung a famous painting by Monet, "The Fallen Big Bo Madonna". (Have you ever seen "The French Restaurant"?)

The only guy was also lying on the table, his head dozing off little by little.

"There's no way there will be any guests coming, forget it, close the door. The boss muttered in a dejected mood, and then shouted, "Parker...... Parker~!"

The dozing guy shuddered. Then he jumped up and shouted loudly in a daze, "Here comes the guest." Please inside, please inside~!"

The boss glared at him angrily and scolded: "You slacker, be careful that I deduct your salary." โ€

The shopkeeper showed a sneer, nodded and said, "Uncle, don't you just take a nap."

Besides, since the demons occupied this land, there has been no business for more than half a month, and we can't do this business anymore, I said you can close the door as soon as possible. โ€

"If you don't want to die, don't call the demons, now they are Semitic masters, and if they are heard, they will be beheaded. The boss scolded, grabbed a cup and made a gesture to smash it, and the guy immediately hugged his head and ran away.

The boss laughed and scolded twice, and then said: "Forget it, I won't mess with you, it doesn't seem to be much business today, you go and close the door today." It was raining so hard that I couldn't even do business at the side door. โ€

The man cautiously poked his head out from behind the pillar, and when he saw that the boss really had no intention of chasing him, he grinned, and then ran to the gate, reaching out to close the gate.

There was a 'creaking' sound from the heavy door shaft.

Seeing that the door was about to close, only a thin slit remained.

At this moment, a thick arm suddenly stretched out from the dark rain curtain, pressed it against the door, and then pushed the door open with force.

The guy behind the door was pushed back a few steps by the sudden force, and almost didn't sit on the ground.

A burly man walked in from the darkness, wearing a wide hat on his head, soaked from the rain, and his clothes dripping down.

Just standing there, a puddle of water has formed on the ground.

"Hey, I said you, we're closed, we're not doing business anymore. The man jumped out from behind the door and shouted.

"Hot water. The strong man's rough voice was hoarse.

The guy was stunned for a moment.

The strong man turned his face, stared at the guy with a pair of fierce eyes under his hat, and repeated: "Hot water~! Hurry up, uncle, I want to take a bath." โ€

The guy was startled by the fierce light in his eyes, took two steps back, and then felt a little embarrassed to do so, and said with a stiff neck: "Let's close ......"

The boss ran out of the counter quickly, kicked the guy's ass, and scolded: "Fuck your eggs, how can a business person push customers out." โ€

Then he bowed to the guest and said loudly, "Please come inside the guest." That little cub is new, don't be like him. Inside please. โ€

Then he turned around, kicked the stunned guy again, and scolded with a black face: "Clean the guest room and prepare hot water." โ€

"Please, please, you've come to the right place, the cleanest and most affordable hotel in the whole of Ripol, just my old Joseph's hotel. The boss bragged about the long history of his inn, led the strong man to the back room, and said, "Where are you from, guest? โ€

"West. The strong man said casually: "No, I have already arrived at my destination." โ€

The boss's face changed slightly, and he laughed dryly.

Half an hour later, a strong man wrapped in a bathrobe walked into the hall, although he only had this thin robe on his body, but looking at the meaning of the strong man, he didn't seem to feel cold at all.

He sat down on a chair with a golden knife, pressed his hands on his knees, and said to the owner of the hotel: "Just serve good wine and food, uncle, I am hungry." โ€

The innkeeper stepped forward and owed a wry smile of helplessness on his face. Said: "Don't hide it from your guests." Only cured meats are left in the shop. Some mixed noodles and home-brewed potato liquor too, economical. โ€

The strong man frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Cured meat, mixed noodles, potato wine...... How to play mud legs that~!

That's all you have to open your business, don't you think I can't afford it, uncle?"

As he spoke, his face changed. Slammed the table.

The boss waved his hand in fright and said hurriedly: "No, no, absolutely not." โ€

"It's not a god-damned demon yet. The guy muttered fiercely behind his back.

The boss hurriedly glared at the guy and motioned for him not to speak.

The strong man sneered and said, "What's wrong with the Semitic clan?"

The boss sighed and said, "Since the Heavenly Army of His Majesty entered the city and His Majesty ascended the throne, the materials in the city have been given priority to supply the army of the Divine Throne.

His Majesty has just promulgated a law, and ordinary people are not allowed to eat white rice and white noodles. Otherwise, it is a special economic law, and once caught, it will not be a prison sentence. They have to whip them, they have to pay fines, and if they can't get the money, they rob people for hard labor.

It's not that there are no things in the shop, but it's really the only ones on the market. โ€

The strong man pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, "What a fucking bastard......"

I don't know who I'm scolding, and then he said, "Then let's do it casually." โ€

"Okay. The man immediately agreed, and then diligently ran between the back kitchen and the hall, placing a few plates and a wine bottle.

The strong man looked at the dry and black, wood-like cured meat, shook half a bottle of turbid liquid in the bottle, and muttered in a dissatisfied voice: "At this level, it is far worse than that of the Maple Leaf Danlin." โ€

The boss and the guys watched the strong man eat alone in the hall one after another, and after a few minutes, the strong man swept away the food on the table, and then wiped his mouth.

The boss rolled his eyes, then brought another bottle of wine, grinned, and said, "This is for you." โ€

As he spoke, he sat opposite the strong man and said kindly: "The guest doesn't sound like a local, this is a mess, and it's not safe to run around outside." โ€

The strong man looked at him coldly, suddenly smiled, and said indifferently: "It's okay, I have a pass." โ€

The boss showed an unexpected expression, and glanced at the guy in the distance intentionally or unintentionally, and then picked up the wine bottle with a dry smile, poured wine into the wine glass in front of the strong man, and said: "I see, did you come to our Ripol to visit relatives, or to do business? โ€

The strong man laughed and said, "Find someone." โ€

"Looking for someone?" the boss put down the wine bottle, clapped his hands, smiled like a flower, and said: "Then you have come to the right place, there is nothing in the city of Ripol outside the city, there is nothing I don't know, you come for the first time."

Tell me who to look for, and maybe I'll show you the way. Let you run less wrongly.

Don't you know, the way of the world has changed. The city of Ripol is a mixed bag, and it is not very peaceful. Even a seven or eight-year-old cub dares to lie with his eyes open. โ€

The strong man immediately laughed and said, "Don't bother so much, in fact, I came to look for you this time." โ€

As soon as the words fell, his face changed, and he looked at the boss calmly.

The boss was stunned for a moment, let out a burst of laughter for a few seconds, looked at the strong man and said, "You're joking." โ€

The strong man smiled and shook his head, and said, "It's not a joke, I'm looking for you, aren't you the head of the underground resistance organization?"

The innkeeper's face changed dramatically as if he had heard a thunderbolt.

He kicked the stool down, jumped to his feet, and pulled out a short sword from behind his back.

The innkeeper who was like a good old man immediately changed into a person, he held a short sword, his face was hideous, and he pointed at the strong man and scolded: "I heard you say that you have a pass, you know that you are a person, I tell you the truth, you have come to the wrong place~!"

The demon clan's dog cub Lao Tzu has slaughtered more than one, you kid don't expect to get out of this door today. โ€

The strong man raised his hands, shook it to the boss, to show that he had no weapons, and said with a smile: "Hey, relax, relax, the kid with the crossbow in the back is trembling, I don't want to hang in this ghost place for no reason." If I'm dead, maybe humanity won't be saved. โ€

The boss glanced at it, and saw the shopkeeper behind the strong man shaking his hands with crossbow arrows back and forth, maybe he would get the arrow out with a hook of his fingers.

The boss glared at the guy angrily and scolded: "Shameful thing, hold your guy steady." โ€

The strong man pouted. "You think I'm here to find trouble." It will not be followed by the Semitic army. โ€

The boss glanced out. Outside the window, it was dark and dreary, and nothing could be seen except the roaring rain.

At this time, the guy said in a trembling voice: "Boss, I ...... I've just gone around and there's nothing around. โ€

The strong man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Also, I'm not a human jiฤn." Don't put that kind of shitty thing on my head. I'm a Semitic~!"

The boss shuddered suddenly, and the guy took a step back, shook his arm, and with a "ding" sound, he slammed the arrow on the beam.

The big man propped up the table with his palm, jumped over the table vigorously, snatched the short sword in the boss's hand, sneered disdainfully, and broke the blade in half with a slight force with both hands.

Then he threw it on the ground and clapped his hands. "Children's toys, you use this thing to kill people?"

The shopkeeper was already stupefied. "How do you know our secret?"

The strong man patted him on the shoulder and said kindly, "Old Joseph." โ€

The innkeeper trembled and finally loaded the crossbow arrows, raised the crossbow and shouted sternly: "Don't move, let go of my uncle~!"

The strong man smiled and took two steps back, and said, "I'm looking for someone with an eagle engraved on the door of my head, but they are hiding too deeply, someone told me that I want to find you first, which of you can lead the way?"

Old Joseph came to his senses for a while, he frowned and thought for a while, waved his hand at the man, and said, "Put the guy down." โ€

He looked the strong man up and down, and said to himself: "You can't make any waves alone." โ€

Then he hooked his finger at him and said, "Follow me." โ€

"You're going to have to let me change my clothes first, and besides, I don't want to get in the rain anymore. โ€

Old Joseph snorted coldly, and then turned to go out.

A few minutes later, old Joseph boarded a carriage with a strong man, and the men sat opposite each other with crossbow arrows.

Old Joseph took out a black sรจ hood, stuffed it into the strong man's hand, and said unceremoniously: "Put it on." โ€

The strong man spread his hands helplessly, put the black sรจ hood on his head, and the simple carriage braved the rain to circle in the narrow streets and alleys.

It was several hours before the carriage came to a halt in a courtyard, and old Joseph pushed the strong man out of the carriage and into the room.

Several quick and low conversations sounded in the room, and as soon as the strong man turned around, a cold blade was pressed against his neck, and someone said in a deep voice: "Don't move." โ€

After staying in the room for two hours, he was pushed into a car again, and ran for an unknown amount of time, and then changed cars in the middle, which shows that these people are very cautious.

Finally, the strong man felt himself sitting in a room with dull air and silence.

After a while, a human voice suddenly sounded on the other side, saying, "Who are you?"

The strong man ripped off the hood from his head and found himself locked in a secret room with only one door, with an oil lamp on the table and someone peeping through the door.

He said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, I said, can you change the place for me? It's very boring here." โ€

"No, for everyone's safety, you'd better not see us. A low voice came from outside the door.

"Alright, alright," the strong man muttered dissatisfiedly, "Are you from the company? I don't want to ride in the car anymore." I said, you guys should be too careful, and I'll see if I'm not going to come over with a big grin. โ€

"Unprofessional. Someone commented disdainfully.

There was a distinct commotion outside, and it seemed that he was right.

"Very good," the strong man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please send a letter to your big boss, the password 'recommendation letter', I will not open my mouth until I return the correct code word." โ€

There were a few rapid whispers from the other side, and then several people left.

The strong man was locked up in the room, and someone brought him a meal in the middle.

I don't know how long it took, someone outside the secret room said, "Your Excellency, I want your password again." โ€

"Letters of recommendation. The strong man said angrily: "I said can you be more efficient, are Lorraine's subordinates such a waste material?"

"Okay," the voice outside the door was quite helpless, and said, "Secret words, the little white rabbit is white and white." โ€

The strong man said loudly: "No~!"

There were two bouncing sounds outside the door.

Only then did the strong man stroke his palms and laugh, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, that's right." โ€

A series of numbers followed.

Finally, he said, "Did you write it down?"

The man outside the door repeated, and after confirming that it was correct, he turned to leave.

The rest was waiting, and just as the strong man was picking his toes in boredom, someone outside the door said, "Mr. Batutusta, please put on your hood." โ€

"It's not fair," Batusta cried out in displeasure, not at all surprised by the name, "I don't know your name yet?"

The people outside were silent for a moment, and then said, "You can call me section chief." โ€

"Section chief. Batusta crooked his lips and said, "What is this name?" โ€

"We don't have names, just code names. The section chief said coldly.

Batusta was once again taken into the carriage, and before closing the door, the section chief suddenly said: "In the future, someone from the company will contact you, and you don't have to go through a dangerous middleman."

Also, the boss said, thank you. โ€

Batusta was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly, and said, "This is also for ourselves." โ€

The information from the Black Sรจ band was sent back to the headquarters of Nedle's venture capital company within a day, and the company's general manager, Belen, himself crouched at the telegraph station, waiting for news.

When a long list of boring numbers was transmitted back by the telegraph, in the surprised eyes of the company's people, the usually steady general manager of Belen immediately grabbed the telegram and rushed out.

An hour later, Lorraine threw away the canon and lit it in an ashtray with a note that she had translated herself.

It was written in scribbled handwriting: "On the twenty-second day of October, the third Semitic army has arrived and will take the Vatino directly." โ€

Veraprani would have jumped in fright if he could see this note, it was exactly the same as the top secret he had received, and only the highest-ranking Semitic generals could receive the news.

In the plan of the high priest, this group of fresh troops who had just come from the Semitic continent by sea, numbering more than 100,000, would avoid the sight of the humans on the mainland and land directly at the Vatino by sea.

The army that suddenly came under the Vatino City like a god soldier will definitely catch the human defenders off guard. (To be continued.) )
