Chapter 299: The Gartnu Family's Today
Once a wealthy family, the Gartnut family is now a multinational chain.
Needless to say, the Gartnu family has amassed a wealth by now.
The heir of the family, Mr. Gartnut, was still plagued by curses, and like his ancestors, he would become emaciated on a full moon night, covered with blue veins, and his face would be pale.
But this did not prevent them from earning a huge fortune, but whenever the time came, Mr. Gartenu would avoid the crowd and lock himself in his study for a special night.
Gartnut's friends wondered why Mr. Gartnut had left all the parties and stayed alone in his study at this time, never seeing anyone.
But Mr. Gartnu had other grievances, and it was inconvenient to speak directly to others, so the others only regarded it as his peculiar habit, and did not want to pursue it further.
The headquarters building of the Gartenu Enterprises is one of the most famous buildings in the area, almost the tallest building in the area, and it is a landmark towering above the sky.
The tall glass curtain wall reflected harsh light, and ordinary people stood below it like ants.
Mr. Gartnut usually enters and exits the office in an elongated black Lincoln, followed by four tall, muscular bodyguards.
His secretary carried a black briefcase for him and followed him through the crowd.
As he walked into the building, Mr. Gartnu waved his big hand to the staff around him, greeting him warmly.
It wasn't until the elevator went up to the top floor, where Gartnu's posh office was located, that he sat down at the spacious desk to take care of his day's work.
Mr. Gartnut had been thinking about what to do with the curse that had bothered him.
Indeed, he had recently been subjected to a curse that had forced him to refuse an important dinner party, thus losing the opportunity to meet with an important business partner.
He lost an opportunity to sign an important contract, and the partners complained, blaming Mr. Gartnut for not knowing the importance and causing the company to lose a lucrative opportunity.
Although Mr. Gartnut tried to explain it to his partner, he couldn't say it.
How could he explain such a thing, so he simply avoided Chrysostom and left it to work.
He suddenly thought of the one he had sent out not long ago, a messenger who had gone to inquire about the wizard of Nok.
So he made a phone call and asked about the man.
"Hey, Mr. Ji, how is the work I asked you to do?"
"Oh, it's Mr. Gartnu, I've found Master Nock, and I gave him the money,
He said that he would help him with the formalities and come to see you in a while, but now Master Nock is gone. ”
Mr. Ji answered Mr. Gartnu's question truthfully, but at this time, the muscles on Mr. Gartnu's face twitched obviously.
"What, Mr. Ji, Master Nock is missing?"
"yes, I went to look for him two days ago, and he left the village, and no one else knew where he was. ”
Mr. Gartnu's face changed abruptly, and he cursed in a low voice, but Mr. Ji didn't hear it clearly.
"Mr. Ji, you immediately go to the surrounding area to look for him, you must find Master Nock, no matter what the cost is to find him, do you hear clearly?"
Over there, Mr. Ji Nono: "Okay, Mr. Gartnu, I will do it!"
With that, Gartnu hung up.
At this time, Mr. Gartnu's heart was quite unbalanced, and he was very annoyed by the situation reported by Mr. Ji, that Master Nock had actually disappeared and had taken a large amount of money with him.
But Mr. Gartnut is very upset that the wizard has betrayed his promises because he has not kept his word.
Instead of grieving the money, Gartnu hoped that the wizard would fulfill his promise to help lift the curse that hung over his head.
Gartnu hated Canon for casting such a spell that had plagued his family for thousands of years.
But Gartnu had nothing to do, he didn't have the Spear of the Dead, and he couldn't lift the curse on his own.
He had to rely on the surviving wizard of Nok, and use his power to achieve this wish.
But now Mr. Ji's report made him feel uneasy, and the flame of hope that had just been ignited was shaking in the wind and rain.
Gartnu sighed, looking out the window at the vista in a daze, he really hoped that Mr. Ji could find the wizard as soon as possible, and then bring him here to help him fulfill that wish.
Mr. Gartnu poured a glass of whiskey and drank it slowly, the strong alcohol stimulating his nerves and causing the veins in his temples to burst.
"Where the hell is this Nok mage, damn it, I have to find you, and I'm going to find you!"
Mr. Gartnut chattered and muttered as he fell into the wide boss's chair.
However, the sorcerer far away in the mountains has found a place to stay.
He hid in a small inn, asked for a small room near the corner, and slept in it during the day, until it was getting late and did not sneak out of the room to eat something in the street.
No one in this remote town cared about the background of an old man who lived in a small hotel, so the wizard didn't attract anyone's attention.
In addition, he can speak the local dialect, so everyone only thinks that he is a lonely old man who begs for a living, and no one pays attention to what he is doing.
That evening, the wizard went out to the town for dinner with a little money, and sat down to eat in front of a small restaurant, while ordering a cheap bottle of liquor to drink.
At this time, Mr. Ji walked from the street not far away, and his eyes just stayed on the wizard at the door of the small restaurant.
"Isn't this a Nock mage, why is he here?"
Mr. Ji has been looking for a wizard for many days under the order of Mr. Gartnu, and he has been searching in the surrounding area, but he has not found anything, but he did not expect to meet a wizard here today.
Mr. Ji was silent, quietly came to the wizard's side, carefully looked at the wizard who was sitting and eating, and then moved a chair and sat down.
"Do you remember me, Master Nock?"
Mr. Ji greeted the wizard with a smile on his face.
The wizard looked up at the sound.
"It's you, I remember, why are you here?"
The wizard still remembered that Mr. Ji, who had come to see him earlier and gave him a bag of banknotes, had only not had the opportunity to meet this middle-aged man after leaving his home.
"Master Nock has a good memory, but how did you get here?"
Mr. Ji was not in a hurry to blame the wizard for saying goodbye, but was very concerned to ask him why he came to this place.
The wizard took a sip of wine and said helplessly: "Mr. Ji, it's hard to say, I can't leave the house because I can't help it." ”
Seeing the wizard's embarrassed face, Mr. Ji wondered if he was in trouble.
"Is something wrong with you?"
So the wizard told Mr. Ji about the secret service team's pursuit of him late at night, 1510.
Mr. Ji suddenly realized that Master Nock was in trouble, so he was forced to flee his residence and hide in this town.
"Master Nock, since you don't have a place to live and it's not safe, why don't you come with me, and I'll find a way to get you out and find Mr. Gartnu. ”
Mr. Ji hurriedly sought the advice of the wizard and planned to take him away from this dangerous place.
The wizard shook his head: "Mr. Ji doesn't know, if Mr. Gartnu wants to lift the curse, then he has to come here." ”
Mr. Ji was puzzled: "Why, Master Nock, let Mr. Gartnut come to this ghost place, why?"
The wizard sneered: "Mr. Ji doesn't know, this lifting the curse has to be done by Kanon to appear, otherwise the undead spear alone will not be able to lift the curse." ”
Mr. Ji was puzzled: "That means Canon is still here?"
The wizard nodded: "That's right, I went to the original ancient battlefield to observe for a while a few days ago, and found that the climate there was abnormal, and it is estimated that Canon is still hiding near the ancient battlefield, so if you want to find Canon, you can still get here." ”
Mr. Ji touched his hair: "I see, that is, Mr. Gartnu has to come here to lift the curse, otherwise there is no way to do it, am I right, Master Nock?"
The wizard nodded, sipping his sullen wine.
"Yes, this is going to have to be hard for Mr. Gartnu, otherwise there is no way to lift the curse. ”
"Are you sure about lifting the curse?"
Mr. Ji suddenly wanted to ask the wizard, and he doubted that the wizard was completely sure that he would help Mr. Gartnu lift the curse.
"100% sure, it depends on the meaning of the canon, we can only ask the canon, and return the spear to it, and promise not to alarm it again in the future. ”
The wizard was a little hesitant, after all, this curse was planted by Canon, and the power was in the hands of Canon, and he could only plead with Canon himself.
"Then it's a bit reluctant, you're not sure, how can I tell Mr. Gartnut?"
Mr. Ji was a little embarrassed, and now that even Master Nock himself said that he was not completely sure, he was even less confident to report the progress of the matter to Mr. Gartnut.
"But Mr. Ji, it's better to have a little hope than nothing, no matter whether you are sure or not, you can still give it a try. ”
The wizard sneered and said to Mr. Ji.
"So be it, since you've said so, Master Nock, I'll go back and report back to Mr. Gartnu and see what he thinks. ”
Mr. Ji decided to talk to Mr. Gartnu, tell him the truth about the wizard's words, and let him make a decision.
"Okay, Mr. Ji, I'll wait for your reply, but don't make me wait too long, this is not a place to live for a long time, I'll wait for your reply as soon as possible." ”
The wizard said indifferently.
"Master Nock, I will get back to you as soon as possible, you write me the address, I will come to you when the time comes, please don't leave here. ”
Mr. Ji took out a small notebook and asked the wizard to write down the address, then put the small notebook in his pocket, and left the small restaurant after a few words of advice.
After Mr. Ji left, the wizard silently finished his dinner, then settled the bill and left the small restaurant.
He returned to his inn room, silently thinking about his thoughts. He wondered how he would go to find Canon and lift the family's curse for him after he met Mr. Gartnu.
It's an uncertain thing, but he'd rather take a risk for the sake of that bag of money, and no matter how much hope there is, he's still willing to try.
