Chapter 303: Waiting
"Why did you suddenly ask this?" Aslant looked at Sean curiously.
"It's just curiosity. β
Aslant thought about it, he was a small soldier commander at the beginning, and he pulled out a random person with status in the imperial capital.
"I don't know the specifics, my hometown is in a small town more than ten miles away from the imperial capital, and I heard about this place when I came at that time...... Because this is a wealthy area, we don't come here very often, and only occasionally come here when I was promoted to military commander, and since then I have often seen officials entering. β
Sean estimated that Arslant should only know this, and did not ask much.
Let the two of them also go to rest, after seven or eight days of continuous travel, it is time to take a good rest.
..................
The environment is indeed the best place I have ever encountered, even the rooms and services of the hotel are as if they are still in their own territory.
Sean didn't dine with the other counts, but in fact, the Marquis of Spinola called everyone symbolically, and then I heard from the servants in the inn that there were few of them...... More lords chose to eat alone in their rooms.
At present, seeing that the king's affairs have not yet been finalized, everyone's hearts are hanging and they refuse to let go.
In the past, the boy from the Morgan family often told himself to prepare all kinds of solutions for everything, whether it is success or failure, you must be completely prepared.
I guess many lords are planning their own plans!
After eating, Karyana and Aslant went to their respective places according to their own orders, since the Haitian Hotel was able to receive so many high-ranking officials and nobles, its safety was very guaranteed, even if the guards were not around.
However, it is too secure, and there is no way to flip the roof today...... Sean waited in the room until late when he heard Igonia knock on the door.
"Huh~ This hotel is really troublesome, do you know~ Sean, the roof has actually been made into a drying ground, and people take turns to take care of it day and night, it's too weird. As soon as she entered, Igonia began to complain about the well-fortified inn.
"That's just an excuse for them to say to the outside world, in fact, it's to prevent people from climbing the roof. Sean said.
Since so many nobles and officials choose this place, it is necessary to ensure safety......
In the Basalan Empire, the mission of the mercenary guild will not involve other killing tasks except for the bully crusade, but that is just the appearance, since there are mercenaries on the surface, there will be killers in the secret.
When these killer stories were in Oro City, the Barniers would occasionally mention them to themselves......
Assassinate nobles, assassinate all sorts of wealthy businessmen or even some resident, as long as someone has a grudge and enough money will go this way.
In particular, the nobles were always the target of action, so the safety of the inn must be ensured.
"I've thought about this too, I've seen a lot of places with magic traps when I came, and this inn is really not simple. β
"It's not easy......," Sean said.
He also had the magic pocket watch that the other party gave him at the beginning, and he was able to trace the traces left by ordinary magic, and those magic arrays Sean also felt some.
"That's right, Sean. What are we going to do next?Have we been waiting for the king to meet us?" Igonia's question is probably the most worrying question for many people at the moment.
"In this way, the other counts will inform the Grand Duke of Haruman to intercede for us at the meeting today, and the cities of the south are already overwhelmed...... Any promising approach is worth trying. β
"I hope so......"
The two talked late into the night, until Igonia said that her mentor Ai Xiu might come over tomorrow and had to leave.
Unlike Frelia, Esher has always been a thinker at Prince Philip's side, so he is most likely to be wherever Prince is...... Probably the palace already knew the news that the southern lords had arrived, and the current high-level may also be discussing how to deal with it.
Sean escorted Igonia out of the room, and the two walked to the end of the corridor before saying goodbye......
It was late at night, and there were only faintly glowing white candles on either side.
And there's only a little light left.
Watch the little girl disappear into the shadows of the corridor......
As soon as I turned around, a hint immediately appeared in my field of vision.
"Who's there?"
Looking to the other side of the hallway, the woman holding the candle made a "frightened!" expression.
"It's Lord Count Vigel, why haven't you rested so late?" The person who came out was none other than Heljara, the landlady of the HaΓ―tre Hotel.
Wearing a slender cloak coat, he subconsciously looked into the corridor behind Sean when he walked over.
Igonia had already left, and there was nothing in the hallway......
But Sean felt that the other party should have seen it.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here to add oil, and I'm not disturbing Count Vigel. He still had a smile when he spoke, which was indeed pleasing to the eye during the day, but his sudden appearance here made Sean a little displeased.
"You just saw it all?"
"What do you see? I just came here and met Count Vigel. "It's still the same smile.
It's just that Sean can see the catty from the state above the other party's head...... I suddenly thought of what Aslant said during the day: the other party knows the secrets of many officials and nobles.
It seems that there are some means.
"Heh~ No. I often go to bed late on weekdays, and I can't sleep on the first day I come to the imperial capital, so I go out for a walk. Suddenly, he changed to a smiling face.
"Well, do you want me to call some of my sisters who haven't rested yet to talk to Count Vigel?" said with a smile.
I saw Sean reach into the candle filled with oil......
With a slight pinch, it was extinguished.
"I saw that the candlelight was good when I came, and it was late, so don't waste it anymore, now is the time when the empire is at its most strained......"
With a smile, Helyala watched as Sean walked back to the room on his own.
In the darkness, the door behind him suddenly and slowly opened......
The tall figure looks particularly majestic in the faint light.
"Eldest sister, this earl is really interesting. I actually like to flirt with little witches...... This hobby is really exclusive to the Border Lords. The tall man couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"No...... right"
"What's wrong? β
"He glanced behind him when he was putting out the fire just now, and he must have noticed you. Helyala said as she looked at the 'giant' behind her, which was nearly three meters tall.
"How is it possible, I have such a good hidden aura, he is just an ordinary earl, and besides, even wizards can't find me!"
Heljala didn't speak, but silently read Sean Wigel's name.
"Vigel...... Hiss~ Do you remember where you heard this surname?"
"Didn't you often talk about it in the imperial capital some time ago?" the man replied subconsciously.
"Not recent, it's more distant days. More than ten years ago? When did it ......" Heljala was still thinking, when suddenly the man behind her pointed to the lamp in his hand and said.
"Eldest sister, you just put out the fire. β
"What?"
Helyala looked at the burning candle in her hand.
"When am I going to die?"
"You said it was Count Vegel who killed you......"
"Did I say that?" he was stunned for a moment, and his memory seemed to recall that there was such a scene just now.
But why......
It doesn't seem to be.

Looking at the lamp in his hand, the candle was still burning.
