Chapter 343: Not a Picky Eater......
Maybe it's because you smell danger in the air, maybe it's because you're afraid of the hotel's tight defenses, or maybe it's just because you're enjoying the panic in the crowd...... In any case, the murderer who was hiding in the shadows did not attack again, and the nobles spent the next few days peacefully in the hotel.
Of course, everyone knows that this kind of calm is just an illusion, as long as the other party is not caught, as long as the nobles are still in Mountain Creek City, this potential threat will not stop......
In the evening, the nobles lay on their beds, their eyes barely half-open and half-closed, and their weapons at hand...... Suddenly, there was a slight movement, and he woke up suddenly in a nap, Huo Ran got up, and after seeing the dim lights in the corridor outside and the figures of the patrol guards walking by, he breathed a long sigh of relief and fell back to the pillow.
This scenario plays out over and over again in many rooms, and the reason for waking up may be different, but the mood is more or less the same, but there are always exceptions......
In a dark room in the hotel, there were about three people sitting quietly.
"My lord, I have inquired clearly, the seal is indeed the private seal of His Royal Highness, which was kept by Ronald before, and now it is given to Philip." The voice was familiar, vaguely the voice of the black-robed man who had appeared in another ordinary hotel before.
"Philip ......" The man who lived on the throne seemed to scratch his hair, looking a little helpless, "This is too frightened! I knew that this was the case, I should have killed the timid old guy who was afraid of death before, but now the seal fell on Philip, which is a bit troublesome." ”
"So what?" another reckless-sounding voice sounded, "Philip doesn't know martial arts at all, just a word from an adult. Let's go get it again. ”
"Heh......" The man who spoke earlier smiled wryly. Shake your head slightly.
"I'll do it!" the man sitting on the throne shook when he heard this. Lost his voice and burst into a foul mouth, then gave a thumbs up and sighed, "Generous, you're still awesome...... It's a good thing I didn't let you make a move, otherwise we'd all have to die. If Philip really has a good job, all the noble families who came this time are estimated to be finished. ”
"Uh...... And no one knew we did it......" The man also seemed to know Philip's background and knew that he was arrogant. But he still retorted quietly.
"The point is that the old man doesn't need to know that we did it at all, as long as he knows that everyone here is suspicious, he won't mind turning over and killing everyone......"
The slightly bitter tone, and because what he said was the truth, he seemed even more helpless.
There was a brief silence in the room, as if it had been crushed by something too strong to resist, and the three of them were a little speechless.
After a moment, the first person to speak coughed twice, "Ahem, boss." Our goal is just a seal, and there are many ways to get around Philip ......"
"I know. It's just ......" the atmosphere eased. The man on the throne nodded, his tone a little hesitant, "The timing of this seal is too coincidental!"
"My lord, I'm a little skeptical, too. "Naturally, it wasn't the reckless man who answered, the man spoke calmly, "But we've also investigated many times, and the place where Ronald and they talked about the seal was on the stairs on the second floor, and judging from the situation at the time, it was definitely casual chatter." As for the traditional aristocrat that broke down later, it was a complete coincidence that he went back to the house to get his clothes and attend the party. Later, when Ronald handed over the seal to the unwitting Philip in the hall, we were also present, which should be to blame Philip...... There are coincidences in this, but it is also very reasonable. ”
"Well...... When I heard that the seal was being discussed, the woman named Lorisy happened to be there?"
"Yes, she was a little unwell, so she went back to the house with Ronald and the others first...... Are you suspicious of her?"
"A little bit...... I just feel that there is no problem with her speech and demeanor. Hehe, this time Philip has a good eye. ”
This feeling is naturally difficult to parse, and the other two did not speak. The man on the throne also knew this, and finally slapped his palm: "It's done, the opportunity is fleeting, and you always have to try." ”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed, and the person from before nodded and said, "If you get the seal, this mission can basically be completed ahead of schedule...... And, hehe, we don't have to do it ourselves, which can be regarded as reducing the risk. After a pause, he turned to the somewhat reckless figure and said, "By the way, is the thief you looking for reliable?"
patted his chest, "Don't worry, it's been tested, it's absolutely professional!" Not only is it first-class, but its fighting strength is faintly advanced." What's more, the thieves are not local and won't cause us any trouble in the future. ”
"Yes, that's good! The man on the throne pointed to the figure who had made the idea earlier, "You bring some people to finish up, and as for your ......," said to the somewhat reckless man, "If the action is in trouble, you must rush out and clean up the scene at the first time, and leave no trouble." I don't need to say anything about excuses...... Forget it, let's explain it to you clearly, you just say...... Well, when I came out to go to the toilet, I accidentally saw this sneaky person, and in order to ensure the safety of the nobles, I followed him all the way here. You don't have to wear armor, and your clothes are messy. Well, are there any questions?"
This man is thoughtful and cautious. Although it is very fragmented, it also takes into account all aspects, which can be described as leaky.
"Yes. The man with a reckless tone raised his hand and said, "I forgot to mention that when I was looking for a man in the Thieves' Guild, I saw a few familiar people, and then I thought that they were the butlers of the nobles on the Simpson's side...... Well, they're also looking for thieves, and they seem to be in line with what we intended. ”
"These things are not enough to accomplish and more to fail!" the man in the throne waved his arm in annoyance, and then said in a deep voice, "You will bring some people later, and dig them out as much as I can." Anyway, no one was to come near Philip's room until our thieves had gone up to the second floor. ”
"Yes!" both nodded in response.
The anger did not subside, and then said, "Your Highness is also confused, how can you send these fools over...... But it's just right, the traditional aristocracy doesn't need these guys who lower their IQs, and I'll use this to get rid of them one by one!"
"Your Highness is probably careless, looking down on the gray-clothed army...... But it was only fitting that he asked you to come over. "The one who spoke before was quick-witted. Immediately sent a just right horse.
"Hehe......" a pleasant laugh. Obviously. The man in the main seat was very useful, and then waved his hand, and said in an atmospheric manner, "Okay, then so be it." Are there any questions?"
"Yes!" Just as the scene was in full swing, the reckless man raised his hand again.
There was silence in the room, and the other two were a little speechless. However, the person concerned did not have this consciousness, and said to himself. "We can't hurt Philip, but what about that woman?
"This ...... Let him decide on his own situation, and it is better not to kill if he can. Of course, it doesn't matter if you kill. It's just a woman. At most, it made Philip depressed for a while. ”
"Understood!haha, then it's better not to have an accident, this girl is really good-looking, it's a pity to kill her. ”
"Oh, it's tempting, it's more difficult...... But Philip likes the new and hates the old, and you still have a chance. ”
"Hehe, I think so too. ”
"Well, you're not a picky eater......"
............
After that, the language tended more and more towards the man's love for haode. I won't go into details. One thing is certain, however, is that the person in these words is Donn. If you know this, you will definitely come and torture and kill a few people overnight, and nip this scourge in the bud......
Of course, Donn didn't know it now, he was chatting with Philip in the room.
"You said the other party would do it tonight?" asked Philip as he sat up from his bed.
"I just said it might be ......" Don En sat at the table in the room, still dressed as a woman, pinched the teacup and took a sip, his posture was elegant and calm, "We got the seal yesterday, and we released the news that we want to continue the negotiations, calculate the time, the other party will test it tonight." ”
"I'll rub, you didn't say it earlier. Philip rushed out of bed in a hurry, and after a flurry of rummaging, he found a short sword with a cold light, a crossbow with a good arrow, and then took a humble thick cowhide belt and wrapped it around his body.
Smashing his mouth, Tang En asked suspiciously: "It's okay to have a short sword and crossbow, what are you doing with your belt?"
"You don't understand, it's my secret weapon. Philip replied casually, and jumped back on the bed again, first placing the crossbow in the bed, and then placing the dagger under the pillow, but it seemed that it was not very safe, and put it in his hand again, and Zuihou simply held it in his arms.
Don looked at Philip busy for a while, and pouted: "They all said don't worry, with me here, they can't get in." ”
Philip got into the futon with his short sword, sneered disdainfully, and said confidently: "Hey, it's because you're here...... Who knows if you're going to kill me, my biggest rival!"
With a slap on his forehead, Don leaned back and grinned, really speechless about this superlative.
Half-ringing, he suddenly asked, "How are your sleeping habits?"
"Well, it depends on whether there are women or not. If there is, of course it is unruly......"
"No?"
"I don't know...... You're not talking nonsense, there's no woman around, who knows what will happen!"
Shaking his head, Tang En said weakly: "Then I'll talk nonsense, you'd better not treat that short sword as a woman, otherwise I don't dare to guarantee that I will be able to see you completely tomorrow morning." ”
"What do you mean...... Huh?" There was an exclamation, the futon flipped over, and the short sword overflowing with cold light was thrown out.
Don pinched the bridge of his nose, put the teacup down, extinguished the light, and jumped onto the beam, not caring about this superb product anymore.
"Well...... Don, can you turn on the light, I can't find that dagger anymore. ”
"Whew...... Left hand biedong, xiangyou side move. ”
"Hah, I found it...... Well, does Don have night vision? How did you get it? Or was you born?"
“......”
"Do you need to eat hawk brains? Oh, probably not...... Don, don, you're not going to sleep, are you...... It's good to speak, just say a word. Oh, I'm not scared, I'm just ...... Well, I just want to exchange feelings, yes, that's it!"
“......”
Don ...... Miss Loris?Silk...... You're talking......"
