With a "bang", Hans ignited the matchstick in his hand and lit the oil lamp on the table.

The darkness that could not be seen was instantly lit up, and the room was clear at a glance.

I saw that the quilt was neatly folded on the bed, the desk that was buried by the pile of books was now empty, there was not a single trace of water in the bathroom, and all the toiletries placed next to the bathtub disappeared inexplicably.

Hans was surprised to search the room, but there was no sign of him.

Even the infirmary in the college and the neighborhood are not in the figure, which also represents—-

Wu did not return to the room, nor was he in the St. Goethe's Academy.

At the same time, Wu Zheng sat in the bathtub with his eyes closed, soaking in the bathroom alone. However, this is not a bathroom in the St. Goethe-Institut's school, but a personal bathroom in the "Smokal".

The bathroom is located on the second floor of the castle and is originally made of wood, but red bricks were used as the walls of the bathroom to prevent moisture from corroding the wooden boards. The high-end bathtub made of cypress wood is tailor-made for the turnip, and the warm hot water is filled with bright flower petals, and the whole bathhouse is surrounded by the natural scent of greenery.

The red brick walls are clinging to morning glories and entwined with red roses and lilies. The light floral fragrance soothes tense nerves and is an excellent flower scene to relax the eyeballs. The hot steam blows the skin, and the hot water at just the right temperature soothes the uninjured body, washing away the mottled bloodstains.

It's a pity that Wu, who has lost his senses, can't feel such a heavenly enjoyment.

He sat quietly in the bathtub, looking at the ceiling, relaxing his mind and thinking.

Black and white......

If you think about it, maybe you didn't succeed in killing them, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune. After all, he still hasn't understood what is going on with the power that can compete with Jiugou Luo.

I can bet that the Black Snake definitely still has unknown weapons, but at this stage, I can't fully reveal it.

As for the scythe they gave them, although they haven't studied it carefully, they can be sure that this scythe definitely contains inhuman power, and even Deercott's consciousness can devour it, and it seems that he has unexpectedly received a great gift.

Wu moved his body casually, and his smiling face revealed the irrepressible expectation in his heart.

At this moment, a soft greeting came from outside the wooden door into the quiet bathhouse.

"Mr. Forts, I've already sewed your robe, and I'll put it in the closet outside."

It was Eater's voice.

"Okay, thank you."

The sound of Edit's footsteps faded away.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Wu stood up, left the comfortable hot tub, and walked out of the bathroom naked.

Although the robe was not damaged much during the battle, there were also a lot of wear and tear over the past week, and it was still a magic prop that concealed its own elements, so it still had to be well maintained.

Putting on the mended robe, Wu inspected the perfect robe and couldn't help but sigh at Etri's craftsmanship.

With such a shrewd and capable talent, it was really the right decision to keep her in the first place.

Wu opened the bathroom door and walked in the direction of the conference hall.

The bathroom is less than ten steps away from the conference hall, and from the bathroom door, you can hear the faint sound of discussion coming from the conference hall in the distance.

The leisurely Wu slowly stood outside the door of the conference hall, and two guards stood by standing outside the gate.

Wu's arrival made the two guards bow respectfully and shouted into the conference hall:

"Lord Fortes has arrived in the conference hall, please get ready to greet you!"

The guard bowed to Wu again, and then opened the sliding door of the conference hall for Wu.

As soon as the door opened, there were three figures inside. They are Nightcourt, Dacis, and Kurt.

Wu's arrival made the three of them immediately stand up and bow to Wu in unison.

"Long time no see, Master Fortes, you're pretty comfortable, aren't you?"

Darcis's asked with a slight smile.

"Well, the bathroom is very high-end, and this bath is also very comfortable. Thank you, Darcis. ”

"Whereever, the bathroom part is due to Chio-sama's work."

"Oh!? Is it Chiao? ”

"Yes, I heard that Senao-sama refused anyone's help and prepared an exclusive bathhouse for you alone, which is very careful."

Really...... Did Chio prepare it for himself himself......

Although I am very grateful to her, I have a premonition of uneasiness in my heart, and I always feel that her motives are not pure....... Is it because of Chio's relationship? Or are you thinking too much?

Wu looked around the conference hall, as if looking for a figure.

"Huh? Didn't Ulfin come? ”

At this time, Kurt took a step forward and reported to Wu carefully:

"Report to Master Fortes, Ulfintha and Longensm are inspecting the new inn and tavern."

"Oh? Hotels and taverns—I don't think I had such a policy, so I guess Darcy or Ulfin came up with it? So tell me what you're building for. ”

"Yes! As you might speculate, this policy is exactly what Ulfin came up with. In the future, Smokar will be full of opportunities to make large transactions with merchants and countries from all over the world, and even travelers from all over the world will come to borrow a night. Hotels and taverns can provide a rest for these foreign guests. ”

"However, visitors from outside may not be able to adapt to the wetland, have you considered this?"

"Rest assured, Ulfin has a lot of experience with many species, and I'm sure he'll take this into account."

"Yes."

Indeed, since the country has already been established, it is natural that there should be some negotiations, which can be considered thoughtful. Find a time to check it out and stop by.

Wu sat in the chairman's seat, and the three followed.

The eyes that had not been seen for a long time immediately fell on Kurt.

"Kurt, report your progress!"

"Yes. First of all, the training of medical personnel is currently underway, and the process is also very smooth, and it is estimated that the first batch of outstanding pharmacists and medical staff may be produced early. ”

Well! It is worthy of the Night Pavilion, not only is it efficient, but thanks to the "division magic", it is also able to teach advanced medical skills one-on-one.

It seems that it is no longer an unattainable dream to surpass the medical standards of all the countries on Staphin Plains in a month.

That success alone was a big step for Smokal.

Wu looked at Kurt with satisfaction and continued to listen quietly.

"Now there's the 'Chamber of Commerce' section."

"Yes, let's talk about it."

"Yes, Lord Tofords, Nine Dogs has offered to provide Smokal with up to 100,000 diamond coins. In addition, Jiugou Luo also expressed his willingness to send a spokesman who can represent him in order to maintain a long-term and good cooperative relationship. ”

"Oh? What kind of person is he? ”

"I'm very sorry that the other party hasn't arrived yet, and Jiugou Luo doesn't want to reveal it in advance."

"Hahaha...... Is it mysterious? There is really the style of Nine Dogs. ”

"I'm so sorry."

Kurt bowed his head guiltily, as if he was very remorseful.

"It's okay, this is Jiugou Luo's personality, even I can't do anything about her. However, with his heroic personality, I don't plan to stop there, and if I negotiate with him more, I may be able to get more resources. ”

"The little one obeys."

Yes, with Jiugou Luo's personality, it is impossible for him to only provide 100,000 diamond coins.

Although this is an unattainable price in the kingdom of Einck, it is only a drop in the ocean for an entire country.

Moreover, with my own ability, I am very confident in completing the task entrusted by Jiugou Luo, and based on this confidence, I definitely have the right to ask Jiugou Luo for more benefits.

"Is there anything else you need to report?"

"Yes, one last thing. It's about the 'shopping street'. ”

"Yes, let's talk about it."

"Yes, as soon as you give your order, I will make a proposal to Etri and Bimo. Under the division of the two, their land will occupy the territory of the original snake people. Considering that there are still many unplanned vacant lands in the territory of the snake people, and the geographical location is more suitable for most racial activities, it is specially moved out and divided. ”

"What about the start time and the construction time?"

"We will be able to start work in about a week. As for the time of establishment, it has to be estimated according to the amount of manpower. ”

"Well, then leave the construction of the shopping street to the poor families! After all, the herb part doesn't need a lot of manpower to help, so let's assign these tasks to them. How long would it take to put most of the available human beings into the construction project? ”

"Well...... It will take about a month. ”

"Yes, I'll hand over the blueprints to you tomorrow, and the building materials will be built with the existing resources first, and if there is a shortage, let Longensmu produce them, so there should be no problem, right?"

"Yes!"

Unlike inns and pubs, the presence of shopping streets is more important.

It not only provides locals with the convenience and happiness brought by the shopping street, but also receives travelers from all over the world through developed civilized entertainment and trading, and even earns income from it while promoting cultural exchanges.

As for the blueprint part, let's refer to Eliel's shop circle!

In this way, the treatment plan for receiving foreign guests has almost come to an end.

Next, we have to deal with trivial "state affairs".

Wu nodded, and glanced at the Night Pavilion to the side.

"Yege, I'll meet with the people you brought back later, I have to solve the trivial matters that have accumulated for a period of time first."

"Little Command."

After finishing the admonition, Wu finally turned his gaze to Darcis, and said in a calm tone:

"Then, take me to see the impudent people from the kingdom of Aynk."

Wu followed behind Darcis, Kurt, and into the basement where there was a pile of miscellaneous books.

What is different is that the piles of books that were piled up and full of sweat cows have been emptied.

There were two soldiers standing guard in front of the entrance to the basement. The soldiers bowed to the three of them in unison, respectfully opening the large iron door that had not existed in the basement.

What catches your eye is a row of large brass cells. Because it was newly built, and there were no enemies and monsters around recently, almost all of them were guards, and there was only one prisoner with a high status.

To the naked eye, it is estimated that there are dozens of cells, and the space and format of each cell are determined, without the slightest difference. The cells are about three meters high and nearly five meters wide, and the doors and walls are made of solid brass, with a subtle golden hue that can be used as a natural source of light in a dark environment.

With a torch in the hands of each patrolling soldier, the light source for surveillance has become more abundant, and the situation in each room is unobstructed, and there is no blind spot.

Each cell is very clean, with a basic shared washroom, two comfortable single mattresses laid flat on the floor, and a small closet for personal use next to the bed.

Obviously, this is a converted prison, and it is also designed according to its own wishes.

The maximum number of people in each cell is set at two rooms, but is subject to change in the future. Although two people are too much for space and even five or ten people are no problem, but-

For the time being, there is no need for too many prisoners. Of course, this is only a small part of the reason.

Even if you are a prisoner, you should have the basic conditions for living as a human being. How to put it – this is a tribute to the hundreds of brothers who have been buried because of me.

I think of the underground prison of Aynke, the living environment, and the inhumane treatment, which I hated when I was alive. Even if you lose your emotions now, you will still remember everything you cherished in life. Including Dora's children and building a utopia that is free from the world, rich and poor.

But is this persistence out of the only remaining goodness, or is it the selfishness of not wanting to lose oneself? This will undoubtedly be a difficult problem to remain in the mind.

Continuing deeper into the prison, the three of them stood in one of a row of cells.

I saw a shirtless man cowering in the corner of the cell, huddled with his legs huddled and facing away from the three people outside the cell door, staring blankly into the shadows.

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed through the hollow cell, attracting the man's attention, and his haggard gaze soon fixed on the three men outside the cell door.

He slowly turned his empty eyes, and his dirty face gradually emerged from the shadows.

This man was none other than Staces.

The tear-stained face and the scattered hair made Stesis age for decades in an instant, with only a fig leaf hanging from his body, and his shirtless body was covered in feces and urine.

The stench of permeated the huge cell and rushed out of the cell, which made Darcis's brow furrow.

Although the Celestial Snake Clan has a cannibalistic nature, no matter how cruel the species is, it will inevitably look uncomfortable when it smells of this stench of almost rotting corpses.

I'm used to this kind of taste.

When he first questioned Bell, he sat quietly and watched Kurt's abusive game. I have to say that Sthace's appearance is not the worst.

Now Bell's body doesn't know where to go, whose nourishment it has become, or whether it has been discharged.

Wu took a step closer to the iron gate and looked at Stirsis with calm eyes.

When he was a prince, he had heard of the five families of Aynke.

Each family represents five professions - strategist, warrior, mage, merchant and assassin, all of whom are the elite of the elite and one of the important pillars that support the façade of Aynk, and belong to the upper echelons of the Aynk royal family along with the "Nine Seats of the Enk Magister".

Of course, after seeing Fellomare's strength, he didn't have much fear or interest in these titles. Not to mention the Sthace in front of him - a family representative who symbolizes the warrior.

"You're Stethis, aren't you?"

"...... right"

The haggard-faced Stasis replied weakly.

No matter how determined and indomitable Steiss is, he is only a human after all, and he still can't withstand Kote's "torture".

For this reason, Wu was quite considerate of Sters's situation. Although he was mistreated and did not take a human shape, Wu still regarded Stexis as a very valuable guest, and maintained a polite tone to talk to Stexis.

"And Mr. Stysis, can you tell me who instructed you to attack Smokal?"

This question was not answered immediately. Steiss stared blankly, but his lips didn't move.

Don't want to answer?

"I'm sure Kurt didn't take away your hearing, and I know very well that you're on the verge of a mental breakdown, but I'm just asking a simple question, and I hope you'll answer me well. If you can answer truthfully, I will not do you any wrong. ”

After experiencing the abyssal abuse, Wu took on a respectful and caring attitude to comfort the palpitating Stissi, trying to take advantage of the difference to make him let his guard down.

But not surprisingly, the determined Steiss still did not answer, but just stared at Wu with empty eyes, dazed.

In fact, Wu had already guessed that Stexis would be so tenacious, so this cold reaction did not make him angry or confused. On the other hand, Kurt on the side showed a look of disgust and anger because of this, and glared at Stace angrily.

The person who is questioning Stirsis now is a gluttonous man whom he respects, how can such rude behavior be tolerated?

Kurt stared at Steyce coldly, and at the same time slowly pulled out a pair of scissors with a silver glow from his suit pants.

Seeing this, Wu was shocked to realize that something was wrong. Could it be that Kurt is going to kill Stiss!?

"Kurt! etc......"

Before he could finish speaking, Kurt began to move.

Surprisingly, however, Kurt did not attack Stasis in his cell. Kurt just slashed lightly into the air, demonstrating the action of "cutting things" to the blank-eyed Stexis, and there was a brief but crisp "click" sound.

Wu and Darcis's failure to realize Kurt's behavior is unaware of it, but Stisis in prison understands the strange behavior.

Miraculously, Stesis, who was already frightened and frozen, suddenly had a strange appearance.

Fear immediately appeared in the empty eyes, desperate and distressed eyes looked at Kurt, the trembling body became more and more serious, the fluffy crotch gap revealed the warm liquid, and the strong smell of began to spread.
