Chapter 857: The news from the waiter
After dinner, Abel and Kant returned to the guest room first, while Bundak needed to go to get the medicine, so he went down the stairs to the back kitchen on the first floor.
Abel followed Kant closely, followed him into the guest room and closed the door.
Kant drank a lot of wine during the dinner, and his figure seemed a little shaky at this time. Abel hurriedly helped him to sit down, handed him the teapot and teacup, and said, "Your Highness, you seem to be drunk, drink some tea slowly."
"Thank you." Kant nodded in agreement, then took the teapot and teacup, and poured himself a cup of clear tea. He raised it to his mouth and drank it slowly.
Abel breathed a sigh of relief, sat down beside Kant, and said, "Your Highness, do you feel that Bandak's state was a bit strange when he arrived before the dinner?"
"Strange?" Kant raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously.
"That's right," Abel nodded immediately, "We got great news today. If it were the usual Bundak, he would jump to the ceiling excitedly. But his reaction was too cold." Alright."
"You say that, it seems a little bit." Kant nodded while recalling: "Why don't we wait for Bundak to come back, let's ask him if something happened?"
"Yeah." Abel thought for a while and nodded.
The two sat at the tea table and stayed quietly for a while. However, Bundak's knock on the door was never heard.
"Abel, have you been watching every time Bundak takes his medicine recently?" Kant said.
"I saw him drink it once, and in the following days, he went to get the medicine and drink it by himself." Abel responded: "But in my impression, he drank the medicine very quickly every time, why? Come back so slowly this time?"
"I think" Kant hadn't finished his sentence when there was a "dong dong" knock on the door.
"I'm back." Abel stood up and said to Kant, then he walked towards the entrance and turned the lock.
Surprisingly, it was not Bandak who stood outside the door, but a waiter who thought he was pale.
"Lord Abel, Lord Kant! It's not good!" the waiter said in a trembling voice: "Lord Bundak is poisoned."
"Poisoned?!" Abel immediately pushed the waiter away, stood by the fence in the corridor and looked towards the lobby.
The lobby on the first floor was also in chaos at this time, and the waiters in the store surrounded the door of the kitchen in panic. ,
"Take me to take a look." Abel grabbed the hem of the waiter beside him and ordered him.
"Yes, yes." The waiter nodded nervously, leading Abel downstairs.
When he reached the stairs, Abel suddenly remembered Kant who was still in the room. Then he raised his head and looked towards the door of the guest room: he walked too anxiously before, so the door was still open, and there was no sign of Kant at the entrance.
"Strange." Abel muttered silently.
His Majesty Kant should also know the news that Bundak was poisoned and fell to the ground. Why did he not respond
The information in my mind became messed up because of this discovery. Abel's figure couldn't help but also stopped in place.
"Master Abel, what's the matter with you?" The waiter noticed Abel's movement, turned around and asked nervously.
Abel raised his head from his contemplation, frowned and looked at the half-orc waiter, and found that the other's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, so he asked strangely, "Why are you so nervous?"
After the voice fell, Abel put his right hand on the waiter's shoulder. The moment he touched the other party, he felt the waiter's body trembling.
"Because Mr. Bundak fainted." The waiter shifted his gaze to Abel's arm and replied hesitantly.
"How did he faint, did you see it?" Abel continued to ask. The strength of holding the shoulder has also increased.
"I, I... I don't know, I'm just" the waiter looked away and responded falteringly.
Seeing this waiter for a long time can't tell why. A silver light flashed in Abel's pupils, he clapped his hands and said, "Bundak fainted, I need to find a few more people to take care of him with me, I'll go to the soldier's room to ask first. Before that, please call us a carriage first, and send more people to take care of him."
"But this." The waiter's expression became anxious.
Abel didn't continue to pay attention to him, but turned and rushed to the corridor on the third floor.
When he reached the third floor, Abel knocked on the door of every guest room, but got no response.
"Where are the soldiers? Where did you get them?" Abel yelled at the waiter standing at the corner of the stairs.
The waiter came back to his senses and saw Abel who was rushing towards him, with a frightened expression on his face, he pulled up his legs and ran.
Just as Abel jumped down the stairs and was about to chase this person, he was stopped by a familiar voice.
"Abel?" Bandak stood at the door of the restaurant on the second floor and called out as he watched Abel fly past his eyes.
"Bundak?" Abel stopped immediately, walked in front of Bundak, and said, "The waiters in this hotel are really dishonest, just now they wanted to lie to me with the news that you were poisoned, what about the soldiers? Are you here?"
"The soldiers are staying in the restaurant." Bundak didn't realize the meaning of Abel's words for a moment, and said suspiciously: "The waiter in the shop said, you and your majesty let us stay here and not go out. But , When all the dishes have been eaten, and you still haven't appeared in the restaurant, I couldn't help but come out to check on the situation."
"It's a good thing you came out, otherwise I wouldn't have thought that these guys have trapped you here." Abel took a long breath and said, "The people in the hotel should be looking for opportunities to ambush me and you while you are not paying attention. Your Highness, use our lives to blackmail you again."
After meeting with Bundak, Abel had figured out the general logic, and there was a bit of anger and dissatisfaction in his tone at this time.
"Why did the people in the hotel treat us like this?" Bandak slightly opened his eyes wide and asked, "And what about Your Highness?"
"I don't know what they think. Your Highness has traveled alone with the owner of the hotel before. If they are members of the dark side organization and want us to surrender obediently, then they should take action. Your Highness didn't come out with me , I don’t know if I noticed something wrong from the very beginning, I’ll go back and have a look now. Hurry up and gather the soldiers. Let’s rush out!” Abel confessed.
Chapter 858 : Clouds Spreading Over the Hotel
"Okay!" Bandak immediately agreed. Turn around and walk to the restaurant.
Abel also walked to the guest room where Kant was staying without a moment's delay.
The door of the guest room had been closed, and Abel felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.
Walking to the door, he patted the door vigorously with his palm, and shouted: "Your Majesty Kant! Your Majesty Kant! Are you still there? Open the door for me, I am Abel."
Abel leaned against the door with his ears sideways, waiting for the movement inside the door.
After a sound of tables and chairs moving, the door lock of the guest room was slowly unlocked. Abel held his breath and carefully covered his body behind the edge of the wall.
"Creak—" The door was opened about the size of a crack.
"Abel?" After hearing Kant's voice, Abel, who was crouching by the wall, let out a sigh of relief, stood up and responded, "Your Highness, the hotel is no longer safe. Let's rush out with the soldiers."
After seeing Abel's face, Kant opened the door with confidence and let him approach the room.
"Bang!" The door was closed again, Abel looked at Kant suspiciously, and said, "Your Highness, we"
"We're not leaving." Kant walked to the teahouse and sat down, and said lightly.
"The people in this entire hotel are very dangerous. They wanted to kidnap us just now. I don't know what they will do next." Abel explained anxiously.
"Don't jump to conclusions." Kant waved his hand and said, "Even if there is indeed a trap, it may not be planned by the people in the hotel. Now, the plan of the group of people who wanted to assassinate us fell through. Empty. It should be them who should be anxious, not us."
"Then what do you mean, Your Highness?" Abel asked after pondering for a while.
"Stop the people in the hotel first, and see what they plan to do next." Kant said quietly: "Also, send someone to monitor what you know, contact the managers of the goblins, and let them Lay an ambush around the hotel."
"Yes!" Abel nodded in agreement.
Abel turned around and left the guest room immediately after receiving the order, and went to contact Bundak and others.
The chaotic lobby just now became silent again. The door of the hotel was closed by someone who didn't know when. Not only the teahouse, but even the back kitchen and other places could not see anyone's figure.
At the entrance of the restaurant, Abel met Bundak and two teams of soldiers from the human race and the elf race.
The soldiers had already lined up, and everyone's face was not very good-looking.
"Abel, why are you the only one? Where's Your Highness?" Bundak asked nervously when he saw Abel appearing alone.
"Your Highness said, let us continue to stay in this hotel." Abel explained: "And, His Highness believes that this operation was not organized by the people in the hotel."
"But the waiters in this hotel are involved in this plan." Bundak said puzzled, "Without them, we wouldn't be so easily deceived."
"Well, in short, Your Highness asked us to control the situation for the time being. Don't have any conflicts with the people in this hotel." Abel sighed, and said: "Now the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. Tell the soldiers Let them be more careful."
"Okay." Bandak agreed. Then he turned around and preached to the other soldiers: "Let's set off together and go to the lobby on the first floor to search. Remember to pay attention to what's going on around you at all times, stay close to your comrades in arms, and don't be left alone. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" The soldiers responded in unison.
"I'll take the soldiers downstairs, so you go to pick up His Highness first." Bandak said to Abel, "Your Highness must be guarded by someone."
"That's good. Be careful." Abel nodded.
After watching Abel leave, Bandak directed the soldiers down the stairs.
The cashier who usually stayed next to the counter disappeared to nowhere.
Bandak went to check the door of the hotel, and found that the door was inserted from the inside.
Thinking of what Abel said just now, Bandak suddenly felt that this action might be as His Highness Kant said: the people in the hotel did not participate in planning this plan.
"Let's start searching. Five people form a team, not only here, but also the kitchen and the backyard. Go and have a look." Bandak ordered.
The soldiers immediately dispersed and searched in various places with the captain of their own team.
After a while, a discovery was made.
"Commander Bandak!" A Croatian soldier stood in front of the counter and shouted.
"What's the matter?" Banda Ke, who was guarding the door, immediately walked over and asked.
"Master Accountant." The soldier standing inside pointed to the wine storage cabinet under the counter and said hesitantly.
After hearing the word accountant, Bandak immediately bent down to check: he found that the wine bottles had been piled up on the floor, and the body of the accountant was stuffed into the narrow space.
"Is he still breathing?" Bandak raised his head and asked the soldier.
"No more," the soldier said with his head down.
Bandak called three or four soldiers and moved the accountant's body out of the wine cabinet. Place on the tea table.
It is estimated that the accountant was pushed under the counter after death. I don’t know what kind of strength that person has to do such an outrageous thing. Seeing that Felit’s bones have been deformed, Bundak He couldn't help but frowned, and said, "I'm here to guard the body of this gentleman, you hurry up and search other places. You can save as much as you can."
"Yes." The four or five soldiers around the tea table bowed their heads and replied.
After the soldiers dispersed, Bandak took off his cloak and covered the accountant's entire body. After that, he stood motionless by the tea table, waiting for news from others.
At some point, Abel and Kant had already walked in front of him. Banda Ke said in a daze, "Are you here?"
"Who is this?" Abel asked solemnly.
"It's the accountant of the hotel, Mr. Philett." Bundak said word by word.
Kant couldn't help frowning after hearing the name in Bundak's mouth.
"How did you find him?" Kant asked after being silent for a while.
"The soldiers found him under the counter where the liquor was hidden. When they found him, he was dead," Bundak explained gravely.
Abel stepped forward and gently lifted the corner of the cloak. After taking a look, he quietly put down the cloak in his hand.
"Did you find anything else in other places?" Kant asked, looking at Bundak.
"Not yet." Bandak shook his head and said.
Chapter 859: Trapped Vagabond in the Cellar
Kant found a chair by the tea table and sat down, and directed the other two to help the soldiers.
After Abel and Bundak took the order to leave, Kant's eyes stayed on the body lying on the tea table.
Sad emotions were revealed from Kant's eyes.
He didn't have a good opinion of the accounting room before, and he usually followed his own rules to keep a distance from the accounting room. Now it seems that such an idea is indeed condescending.
When a person is still alive, being hated by others and being liked by others are the fireworks in life. Because I belong to different people than you, so I can hate you, like you, or ignore you. Those strong emotions stir up life.
Human communication is like the process of exchanging labels with each other. Kant has no regrets about his actions. Considering his sophistication, such a sudden accident will not make him overthrow his logic.
He just stood in the perspective of a hotel guest and had some sad associations with the corpse in front of him. And it shows the emotions that people should have when they are born.
After waiting for about half an hour, Bundak and Abel returned to Kant. Hui reported: "Your Highness, the people in the hotel are locked in the cellar in the backyard. Most of them are unconscious."
"Take me to have a look." Kant stood up and responded.
"Yes." Bandak nodded to Kant after arranging his subordinates.
The three immediately rushed to the backyard of the hotel: the soldiers were gathering at the door of the cellar, carrying the unconscious hotel attendants one by one into the yard.
"How is the condition of the unconscious man?" Kant asked the soldier carrying the man.
"There is still breathing." The cellar was passed up and down by wooden ladders, and the soldiers returned to the ground with the waiters who were half a head taller than themselves, and they were really exhausted. Facing Kant's question, the soldier could only answer out of breath.
"That's good." Abel nodded and said, "Take the people in the hotel to a ventilated place, and I'll help you later."
"Yes." The soldier nodded.
"This is terrible." Bundak's face was not optimistic, and he said at this time: "We have not yet been able to confirm whether the group of villains in charge of planning have escaped from the store. They took the waiter and the hotel staff The guests are all gathered here. Just in case they take advantage of the chaos and get in there."
Abel screamed in his heart that something was wrong, and went to the cellar and shouted: "Everyone! Stop!"
This sudden outburst of shouts stunned everyone and stopped their work.
Abel paused, and continued: "We only rescue hotel guests and waiters. All guests must show the keys to the rooms they live in, and all waiters must obtain the approval of their companions."
"Yes!" The soldiers stood up straight and agreed.
"Okay, let's continue with the rescue," Abel said.
After receiving the order, the soldiers began to question the identities of the waiters and residents one by one. And search the fainted person, only the person with the key can be taken out of the cellar by the soldiers.
Abel walked back to Kant and Bundak's side.
Bandak glanced at him and said, "You are really amazing. As soon as I thought of this, you can immediately come up with a corresponding plan, and stand up in time to announce to the soldiers."
"Your sentence 'bad' is the key. Before that, I didn't even notice where the problem was." Abel responded embarrassingly after being praised.
"The plan Abel came up with is not bad. Even if there are omissions, there is no need to worry about the safety of those innocent people." Kant said approvingly.
After adding the link of interrogation, the speed of saving people has obviously slowed down. But the rescued people quickly joined the rescue team after waking up. The flow of tasks has also become smoother.
"How many people are there whose identities cannot be verified?" Kant walked to the entrance of the cellar and asked a team leader in charge.
"Your Highness, the number of people whose identities are unknown at present is about eight people." The team leader responded.
Kant exchanged glances with Bundak, who was on the side, and said to the soldiers: "Let the soldiers be more careful. It is best for two people to go in together, so as to take care of each other. It is also easier to carry people."
"Yes, Your Highness." The soldier nodded.
Beside the entrance to the cellar stood many homeless people who had escaped from the cellar. It was really inconvenient for Kant to be crowded in the crowd. After explaining everything, he immediately got out of it with the help of Bundak and Abel.
"Help me! I'm really not the kind of bad guy you think!" A shout came from the cellar, and everyone who was busy in the courtyard was silenced.
The three of Kant also locked their sights on the cellar entrance. Looking forward to the follow-up conversation.
"But you said you don't know anyone here, how can I let you out easily?" The soldier's voice also seemed a little anxious.
"I just delivered food. I came here for the first time today, and I don't know anyone. Who do you want me to find to prove to you?" The man who confronted the soldier responded.
"You said you were delivering food?" The soldier's tone became looser.
Kant frowned, and immediately raised his legs and walked to the cellar, while Bundak and Abel walked in front, opening the way for them.
Walking to the entrance of the cellar, Kant coldly ordered to the soldiers in the cellar: "All of you, get out."
"Your Highness?" The soldiers who were interrogating raised their heads and looked up.
"Quick!" Bandak also ordered.
"Yes." The soldiers walked towards the stairs at the entrance of the cellar one by one.
"Want to leave?! No matter what, you have to stay with us." The orc man who was interrogated just now had a fierce look in his eyes, and said in a hateful voice.
The seven or eight vagrants squatting on the edge of the wall also responded to the man's words, picked up the farming tools in the cellar, and rushed towards the soldiers by the stairs.
"They can't react, you two, go down and help them." Kant ordered the two people beside him the moment he heard the man's words.
Bandak and Abel looked at each other, nodded to each other, immediately boarded the wooden ladder, and sneaked into the cellar. He walked up to the soldiers and protected them behind him.
An undead screamed and jumped in front of Bandak, and he swung the undead battle ax to Bandak's neck.
Abel was entangled with another assassin at this time, but his eyes were also attracted by the tomahawk, so he shouted: "Bundak! Be careful!"
After all, at this time Bandak's body has no combat power.
Chapter 860: The battle that came to an end
Facing the tomahawk that was coming in front of him, Bandak took a deep breath and calmly observed the direction of the ax blade.
When the ax was about to slit his throat, Bandak Township took a step back. And jumping in place, he kicked the undead horizontally.
The undead tightly closed its eyes, ready to take this heavy blow forcefully.
But Bandak held back his strength and retreated back to the original place. The soldiers behind rushed forward and restrained the undead with ropes.
After Able knocked the Assassin to the ground with his spell, he handed his opponent over to the rest of the soldiers. And he rushed towards Bandak's side.
"Are you okay?" Abel asked concerned.
"It's okay." Bandak shook his head as usual, and said: "Although the strength is not as good as before, but the body is already used to the state of fighting, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
"It's good that you're not injured." Abel breathed a sigh of relief, and blamed himself: "I almost forgot that you were still sick, thinking that you should be fine. It wasn't until the undead rushed towards you that I didn't Think about that."
"Most undead's skills are clumsy, I can handle it." Bandak shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry."
"I can't let you make a move next time." Abel was still not at ease, and said firmly.
At the end of the conversation, the fighting situation on the field gradually calmed down.
The soldiers escorted the captives out of the cellar and handed them over to Kant for interrogation.
The man who had launched the attack just now was escorted to Kant, his face was full of unwillingness.
Kant raised his hand to make the orc man look at him, and asked, "Who sent you here? How did you sneak in?"
"No one instructed us, we want to rest in this hotel." When the man replied, there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. Kant couldn't help frowning.
"Have a rest? Didn't you just say that you are here to deliver food?" Kant stared at the man closely and asked.
"So what, I'm the food delivery guy, so I can't drink tea and rest in this hotel?" The man said stiffly, "How can you say I'm not innocent?"
"What do you say? Tell the other waiters in this room to listen. Ask any of them if there is a rule in this hotel for outsiders to deliver food." Kant snorted coldly: "Your lies have already been It's riddled with holes. What do you want me to say?"
"I," the orc man was choked up by Kant's words, and fell silent immediately.
"The people from the prison are almost out of the gate. I think they may be more suitable for interrogating you people." Kant shook his head and said, "Have you ever been to the prison before? Judging from your actions, it is probably I have been in. After all, I also know that it is not easy for a 'clean' killer like you to work. But don't worry, I will let you have a good rest this time."
"How many of our brothers do you want to tie up with your connections on the island? People outside the island, I advise you not to worry about it. Most of the homeless people on this island have two faces. Don't trust your so-called friends too much. .” The orc man said coldly.
"This is not something you have to worry about." Kant said with a smile: "All soldiers, escort these people to the lobby. Wait for the adults from the inspection station to come and collect them."
"Yes!" The soldiers had long been displeased with this orc man who was full of arrogance. After Kant gave the order, he rushed forward and punched the man several times while pushing.
When the orc man arrived in the lobby, his face was covered with bruises.
Everyone sat quietly for a while while waiting, until there was a "dong dong" knock on the door.
"Go and open the door." Kant ordered to a soldier beside him.
Hearing this, the soldier immediately walked to the gate of the hotel and removed the door plug. Let the goblin army walk in.
A familiar goblin soldier stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty Kant, I'm sorry, we are late writing. Are you okay?"
"It's okay, did you encounter any trouble on the way here?" Kant glanced at the clock on the wall and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just delayed for a while by the temporary assignment." The soldier responded with apology: "It doesn't matter."
"We have subdued the vagrants who broke into the hotel. Please take them back to the prison for trial." Kant returned to the topic and said.
"Staff in the store, is anyone injured?" the goblin soldier confirmed.
"Most of the people locked in the cellar are nothing important. They will probably wake up soon. Our staff is treating them." Cond paused, and continued: "The one who was killed was from this hotel. Accountant, I hope you can properly resolve this matter and give an explanation to the innocent sacrifice."
"We will do our best." The goblin raised his head and glanced at Chen Heng's corpse lying on the tea table, and nodded in agreement.
The unidentified vagrants were handed over to the goblin soldiers, and Kant personally sent the goblin army to the gate.
Felit's body was also carried away by the goblin soldiers, leaving only Bundak's cloak on the tea table.
While watching the goblin soldiers leave, Abel asked Kant: "Your Highness, the owner of the inn probably doesn't know about it yet. Felix's body was transported away like this."
"Don't worry, the owner of the hotel is a rational person. He should know why Felix's body is in the hands of the people in the inspection station." Kant said with a deep breath and waved his hand.
"Is this hotel still available?" Bundak asked the question in his heart.
"There is no way, the target of this group of people is us. No matter where we go, they will follow by themselves. Let us continue to live here." Kant responded.
"If this incident is spread by the residents on the street, the business of this hotel will not be optimistic." Abel said worriedly: "So it's better for us to continue living here. We can't force the owner to On a dead end."
The three of them stood at the door of the hotel for a long time, and after a while, they walked back to the lobby.
The people in the hotel have almost recovered to a healthy state, but after knowing that the accountant passed away, everyone was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.
Kant arranged for the soldiers to stitch all the tea tables together, and said to everyone: "Everyone sit down, let's have a good chat, I still have a lot to confirm with you."
After hearing this sentence, the waiters and chefs in the store found a seat amicably as Kant said, and sat down.
