Chapter 101: Unconventional Means
When the new morning came, Xiuge rarely did not read the newspaper, but went directly to the lobby of the Manor Hotel.
He changed into a new gray coat, with a revolving rifle beside him, the magic book on his lap, and the pendant symbolizing the identity of the official spellcaster was not fixed to the magic book, but hung directly in front of him, and he sat quietly on the sofa, his expression was gloomy and solemn, coupled with the faint magic light and shadow that loomed on him, it made him reveal an aura that was intimate.
Soon, the housekeeper in charge of the manor hotel came to the hall.
When Shuge first saw the housekeeper, she seemed shrewd and capable, and her face was full of energy, but the events that had taken place in the manor hotel for two days had burned her spirit at once, the ambiguous attitude of the family rulers, the guards who had been sent but did not play a protective role at all, and the noble heirs who had been harmed by the bizarre events, all brought her great pressure.
And for Xiuge, a young man with a very special identity and background, she has a good impression, not only because of the other party's attitude towards others, but also because he has used his own strength twice in a row to directly prevent the tragedy and tragedy from happening, the housekeeper can't imagine what kind of ending she will face if a family member really dies in the hotel.
The etiquette of the aristocracy was often used on the surface.
In the Black Nest Mountains outside Bolden, and in the Doron River, which runs through Waterl, there is no shortage of dead people who have been casually abandoned for offending the nobility.
"Mr. Shug, you ......"
Xiuge raised his head, he looked at the housekeeper in front of him, and there was a thunderbolt from the sky: "The people who are still in the hotel should have stayed to compete for the position of heir, right?"
"Huh?"
The housekeeper almost didn't react, she looked at the magic book in Xiuge's hand and the revolver rifle placed aside, and immediately felt her back begin to sweat, because of the oppression emanating from the other party, the housekeeper finally nodded.
"That's right."
She barely managed to squeeze out a smile: "Mr. Shuge, please don't talk about this topic casually, after all, ......."
"After all, there haven't been dead people in the hotel until now, have they?"
Xiuge smiled as well, "Please answer my question directly, butler, I don't need your advice yet. And I hope you can understand that if you continue to let things go on in the hotel, you may only have one ending."
「……」
The housekeeper's face was very ugly, and she looked around and saw that the nearest manor guard was still some distance away from her, so she nodded slowly.
Seeing that the other party's tone was relaxed, Xiuge's attitude softened slightly, and he asked, "Okay, then please tell me, in this manor hotel, are the young people of the family allowed to use some unconventional means to compete?"
"Non-...... Unconventional means?"
The housekeeper was a little stunned by this somewhat unfamiliar word, but she quickly reacted, and her expression immediately became more nervous, and her eyes couldn't help but drift towards the revolver. ….
Obviously, she didn't understand what Shuge meant very well.
Faced with the butler's horror and astonishment, Hug patiently explained, "I am a member of the Ernst family and a mage of the Council...... I think that in the current situation, what happened in the Manor Hotel does not allow ordinary people to stay here any longer, for the sake of their lives."
Shug's fingers tapped lightly twice on the cover of the spellbook, "Butler, so next, I will politely ask all those who remain here to leave, of course, if anyone is unwilling, I will also consider using some rough means."
At this moment, the housekeeper finally understood what Xiuge meant, she calmed down a little, but her face was still as pale as paper: "Mr. Xiuge, the manor will not allow this kind of behavior to happen, do you see those guards?" They came here to make sure that things were not disturbed......
"Oh, is that so?"
Shug smiled, then he stood up, his eyes swept over the guards in the hall, and then he walked straight to one of them.
The guard was unusually straight, with a resolute face, and a slightly hideous scar at the corner of his eye, and although he was wearing the uniform of the Ernst Manor Guard, he always exuded a strong military air on his body.
This is the imprint of Waterl's army, once you have joined the army, you will naturally be infected with such an aura, which is difficult to wash away.
Of course, what caught Xiuge's attention the most was the firearm he was wearing.
It was a revolver, the same model used by Shogg - the Murch 2699 revolver.
Shug smiled at the guard, then reached for the other's cuffs.
The guards did not dodge, allowing Shug to flip his cuffs open, and Shug once again saw the three-clawed falcon pattern outlined by thin silver lines.
"Did you hear what I just said over there?"
"I hear you, sir."
"If I were to do this, would it cause trouble and danger to your marshal?"
The guard stared at the young man in front of him, who was half a head shorter than himself, and replied, "Yes, but today and tomorrow, the marshal and Mr. Yerevan will attend the meeting of the nobles of the district of Lailan, and the marshal will be very safe in the meeting."
Xiuge nodded, "Then what will you do when the time comes?"
Like an emotionless machine, the guard said calmly, "Mr. Shug doesn't need to know these details, but by order of the marshal, we are not to be directly involved in the 'struggle between the heirs,'" the guard said calmly.
Hearing this meaningful sentence, Xiuge thought seriously for two seconds, then he nodded and said, "I don't want more people to enter the Manor Hotel in this process, except for one lady, who has the surname of the Ernst family and is also my magic teacher."
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving a clear answer from the guards, Shug turned around and glanced at the hotel's housekeeper shivering behind her, and then at the magic clock hanging on the wall.
It's seven o'clock in the morning.
……….
At 7:20 a.m., the sun was already shining on the Leyland district and on the hotel in the Ernst Manor.
A sharp knock on the door awakens the old building, which once served as the Ernst family residence.
In the rough "wake-up service", one after another young aristocratic guests who insisted on staying in the hotel woke up from their half-asleep sleep, but everyone who opened the door saw a young face carrying a revolving rifle and holding a magic book and a mage certificate.
They knew each other and knew that this was the illegitimate son of the city of Salem who had "shined" for the past two days.
However, before they could ask or say hello, Shug sent a message to them in an extremely strong and direct manner - he "hoped" that everyone who remained in the hotel would immediately leave their rooms and go to the lobby of the hotel for a time of half an hour.
This was obviously an extremely rude act, and these arrogant family members instinctively wanted to rebuke the bastard in front of them with a bad attitude and rude manners, but Xiuge's actions were far more direct than they thought.
When the muzzle of the rifle is pointed directly at his face, even the most temperamental person chooses to shut up.
And after these aggrieved young people came to the corridor, the hotel doors that were directly damaged by the "Remove Door Lock" magic, and the hotel waiters who were forcibly knocked out and controlled for some reason, made them feel inexplicably flustered and frightened.
Xiuge's plan was very straightforward.
After confirming that the guards sent by Old Zeke were able to support him, he decisively took the simplest way to deal with it.
With the help of the soldiers disguised as guards, Shug was able to quickly complete the blockade of the entire manor hotel, although the guards claimed that they were not allowed to participate in the "heir's
Fighting", but cleaning up the manor for "hidden elements" was apparently part of Zeke Ernst's orders.
In just twenty minutes, the waiters in the entire manor hotel were under the strictest control, and the members of the Ernst family who had been violently evicted from the room by Schug were closely protected and supervised.
After spending a little time and successfully convincing the ladies who were already very frightened but still insisted on staying in the hotel with reason and etiquette, all the guests who still chose to stay on the list were "counted".
According to Shugg's observations, none of the members of the Ernst family possessed any aura that would cause the metal discs to move or alert the ancient creations, so after completing the first round of elimination, he returned to the lobby of the hotel.
Among all the hotel attendants who were controlled, Shuge deliberately looked for the young girl who had taken care of his clutter before, but both the hotel's housekeeper and the other waiters said that they did not know such a girl at all, and when Shuge asked about the old-fashioned elevator that could lead to the basement floor, everyone was extremely surprised.
They didn't know what the underground floor was, and they didn't know that the elevator could be connected to the underground floor!
"In other words, the Black Sun Society's control of the Manor Hotel should have been initiated through the hotel's waiters, and in order to keep it secret, they probably used some magical means...... Most of the staff working in the surface hotel should be unaware, but there may be a mixture of individual association members and eyeliner." ….
Shug looked to the other side of the hall, only to see that in the corner, several manor guards had been "cleared" out.
Obviously, the soldiers who were loyal to Old Zeke knew very well which people in their team were eyeliner from An***, and it was precisely because of this that they were extremely ruthless, and one of them had an unlucky guy with a rifle butt on his mouth, and now there were probably no more teeth left in his mouth.
"Make sure word doesn't get out of the manor, and don't let anyone go to the mansion."
The commander of the soldier was approached by Shug, who did not show any objection to Hugg's order, because there was no need for him to remind him that these professional soldiers had already begun to do so.
Shug noticed that some of them had even set up hidden temporary fortifications in the garden outside the manor hotel, and that the personnel in charge of the entrance had been replaced, and anyone who tried to approach or leave would be immediately contained.
At this time, several young people in the hall finally couldn't help but express their doubts, their fathers had very important responsibilities in the Ernst family, so both confidence and courage were far beyond ordinary people, and they all saw that in the current manor hotel and even the entire family manor, there was some kind of sudden situation that exceeded their expectations.
Therefore, they are not expressing an opinion against this sudden incarceration and control, but rather asking what is going on.
These shrewd young nobles had already smelled an ominous smell from the professional soldiers.
Naturally, there was no way for Xiuge to give a direct answer to their question, after all, he had no way to tell these young people directly that the ancestors they revered had probably become a group of rats walking through the building.
He then took out the glass jar from the side, wrapped in several pages of books engraved with magical rituals, and displayed the misshapen blind mouse in the jar to the young nobles.
"Oh my God, what is this?"
"This is a rat? No...... How did a rat grow like this?"
Shuge slightly manipulated the power of the messenger in the mirror, causing the mouse, which was most likely the ancestor of the young people in front of him, to stop, and then he said, "All I know is that you have been staying in the same hotel with these guys these days, and there are countless of them, and they can easily move through the walls and floors of the hotel...... If you don't want to be gnawed to bones by them, don't question them in any way."
Speaking of this, Xiuge's tone was slightly slight
Change: "You should have heard of the rat cannibalism in the city of Seren, right?"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone fell silent.
As one of the few people who had escaped from the city of Seren, Hug had more say in this regard than everyone in the room.
Looking at their appearance, Xiuge finally swallowed back the second half of the sentence "That's ***", in the face of these young nobles who are active and well-informed, it is difficult to solve the problem without heavy deterrence.
At this moment, a figure, accompanied by two soldiers, walked into the lobby of the hotel.
The young female mage, dressed in a brand new council mage robe and wearing a standard scarf from the Waterl Chasseur around her neck, seemed to bring in the cold outside the building as if she had entered the hall.
Ignoring the young nobles who were secretly watching her, she walked straight to Shuge, lifted her glasses, and sat down across from him.
"Mr. Shuge, can you tell me why there is so much movement wherever you go?"
