Chapter 12: The Secret Sentinel of the Tower Gate
Surprisingly, Gila didn't tell Arthur what had happened, but left in a hurry. Although Arthur was strange, he didn't want to ask too much, so he didn't care. And what he has to do is not convenient for Guila to participate.
Nicole was a little nervous when she saw Gila leave, but unexpectedly, Gila casually asked her about the place of the tower gate and walked away.
By the early hours of the morning, the streets had begun to get crowded, and Nicole looked at Gila and Arthur who had disappeared into the crowd, completely unaware of what was going on. I had to walk back depressedly, and then a figure flashed out from the side of the alley and said, "Don't play Miss, my lord will let you go home!"
Nicole obviously looked reluctant, awkwardly said a few words, and finally reluctantly followed the figure and disappeared into the sea of people.
Yes, all people have secrets, no matter how close they are, let alone strangers they meet.
In the noisy street, Arthur casually glanced at the window of the shop on the street, and after confirming that no one was following, he turned to a small alley, this alley has no name, and only the locals will know, Arthur deliberately asked Nicole a lot of places, hid his true intentions, and then turned around a lot of places, and came here near noon. This is what Arthur knew when he was a nightingale at Bloodthorn's headquarters, Bloodthorn's point of contact at Towergate.
Knock on a wooden door at the end of the alley, where there is the back door of a bar, which is usually closed. The door opened only one slit, and one eye looked at Arthur from the inside, and asked in a deep voice, "Who?"
"I'm looking for birds!" Arthur said.
"There's no bird here!" the man said, closing the door.
But Arthur's big hand had already held the door, and the strength of the other party was obviously inferior to Arthur. With all his strength, he couldn't close the door that Arthur held with one hand. I had no choice but to give up, and whispered in a vicious voice: "Come in! I hope you don't regret it!"
Arthur ignored this kind of minion and walked straight in, compared to the cleanliness outside, the room was very dark. The janitor whispered, "Follow me!" and walked ahead to lead the way, Arthur followed behind him, observing the surrounding facilities, a very large field, there was a ring in the middle, two big men were fighting on the top, there were people practicing in various practice facilities under the ring, a man who was unusually tall beat a sandbag and banged it, Arthur could hear that it was filled with iron sand.
It's just that Arthur walked past them, and the strong men stopped practicing and turned their eyes on Arthur, making Arthur feel as if he had walked into a herd of beasts. But Arthur walked past them as usual, not squinting. Although these people are much stronger than those wild thieves, in front of the mud balls, it is the difference between turning into meat and turning into pieces of meat.
Soon through the dark hallway, the janitor walked up to a room and knocked softly. The sound of gasps in the door made Arthur frown, but then a lazy voice said displeasedly, "Who!" and the voice made Arthur's heart happy.
"Boss, it's me, someone wants to see you!" said the janitor in the most humble voice possible.
"Kill him!" came a cold command. The janitor's hand was already on his waist.
Arthur knocked the janitor unconscious and smiled, "Is the old friend gone?"
There was a moment of silence in the room, as if to think about whether to directly ask someone to kill Arthur outside the door, but after a short moment, the lazy voice sounded again: "Come in! I hope you are really my friend, but maybe I have one less friend." ”
Arthur smiled and pushed open the door, the decoration of the room was very gorgeous, but it was very messy, and it could be seen that its owner had no intention of taking care of it. A handsome shirtless man was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at Arthur coldly, and a beautiful woman wrapped her body in a quilt looked at Arthur with the eyes of a dead man. Everyone can see what they are just doing, and if this kind of thing is interrupted, everyone will be in the mood to kill.
Arthur casually walked around the room, lifted the chair that had fallen to the ground and sat on it, picked up the wine glass on the table, poured himself half a glass of wine, took a sip and said, "You'd better let her sleep for a while!"
"This is the third time you've forced me to do something I don't want to do!" the man said coldly.
"I probably know the first time, but what was the second one?" asked Arthur curiously.
"Kill while *****!" the man looked at Arthur, his unfamiliar face making him murderous.
"Well, if you don't let him sleep any more, I'm afraid you'll really kill him in the ***** later!" Arthur sighed.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, kill him, Rocky!" the woman screamed.
The man didn't look at her, but thought about it, glanced at Arthur and said, "You'd better really be my friend!" After speaking, he hit the woman's neck with one hand, and the force was just right, and the woman suddenly fainted.
"Haha, I swear I am, Field!" Arthur laughed and said, "The southern wives are going to hollow you out!" It turned out that this person was the same person who brought Arthur from Quincy to Bloodthorn's Field, and Arthur never saw him again after he went on a mission to the south. And it was the news he discovered that led his brother to give up Saint-Rolle to have Arthur's presidency. Thinking about it this way, Arthur also felt that he was really close to this field.
"Are you?" said Field, there weren't many people who knew his real name, but he should have seen them all, but the man in front of him was an exception.
"Greetings Arthur!" Arthur gestured as he raised his glass and drank the rest of the wine.
"Arthur!" Field, like a cat with its tail stepped on, screamed and jumped out of bed.
"We'd better say it somewhere else!" Arthur smiled.
In the basement of the bar, Arthur recounts what happened to him, causing Field to tremble at the thrilling experience.
"You'd better get the news back to Bloodthorn, this matter has the dungeon's involvement, although I'm not sure, but I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the Brotherhood. Arthur said solemnly. Prophecy is not omnipotent, and although Arthur has decided to leave Bloodthorn, he doesn't want Bloodthorn to be calculated.
"Yes, I will. Don't you know, because of your business, Bloodthorn and the Brotherhood have been facing off for months, and there are constant conflicts? If you don't show up again, I'm afraid there will be another war. Field said earnestly.
"Hehe, don't talk about this, you just need to hurry up on this matter. You seem to be cool here!, Anthony and I are both envious!" Arthur said narrowly, glancing playfully at Field's underneath. Although it is an underground work, Bloodthorn and Brother have always been in a state of peace, and they all know that the other party has a secret post in their own territory, and generally speaking, it will not be particularly attacked, as long as they pay attention to each other's proportions.
"Cool, I'm suffocating, I'd rather fight the ogre. Field grumbled.
"It's boring to do this at noon, humans are really not satisfied!" Arthur sighed.
"Where do you live now, with me, whenever you want, whenever you want, as long as you can hold on," Field asked with a smile.
"I have a room in the Golden Radiance Castle, so I won't live in your kennel!" Arthur shook his head and refused.
"Golden Castle! You're really rich. Field was surprised, it was not easy to have a room in Jinhui at this time.
Arthur tapped his arm, made a thumping sound, and smiled wryly, "Rich? I don't even have a hair now." It's just a mix of food with others. Okay, I won't talk to you, I'm going back!"
Field smiled, "If you need money, you can come to me!"
Arthur couldn't help but be surprised: "Have you made a fortune? So generous? Then you can borrow me first." "Field was very picky when he was in Bloodthorn, and Anthony once joked that it was harder to borrow money from him than from a dragon. How can you become so generous now?
"I didn't say I borrowed it, do you see it outside? There will be gambling every night, and I think your current body is very suitable for this kind of game. Field said.
"It turned out to be your money-making tool, so I said that you are not so generous! But the people I talk to have money do not need to do this kind of manual work at all. Arthur said.
"Hehe, congratulations, but you'd better be careful here! After all, this is the brother's headquarters, and I heard that the "grandfather" is here. Field asked.
"Grandfather, my grandfather may not even recognize me now!" Arthur waved his hand to open the door to the secret room.
"That's right, then I wish you a happy harvest festival. Field said.
"You too, birdie. Honestly, you're nicknamed pretty bad!" Arthur said.
"you!" Field scolded, but the moment Arthur walked out of the secret room, his face slowly darkened, and the situation seemed to have changed in a new way?
Stepping out of the dark underground chamber, Arthur walked through the bar again, led by the janitor, but the way he looked at Arthur had completely changed, as if he was infected with the humility he faced with Field. He had never seen anyone who could talk to the boss in a secret room for so long.
But his attitude didn't mean anything to Arthur, and when he walked out into the street again, Arthur exhaled deeply. Looking at the sky, I don't know when, it was already gloomy. It was already strong before evening, and the water vapor in the air made Arthur feel a little comfortable. Thinking that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, he hurried up and walked towards the Golden Radiance Castle.
Arthur walked into the room, Gila was already there, Arthur didn't want to ask more, but still cared: "It's okay!"
It's just that Guira's answer is destined to be beyond Arthur's imagination, making him feel more gloomy than the sky.
