Chapter 857-860

Chapter 857: News brought by the waiter

After dinner, Abel and Kant returned to the guest room first. Bandak needed to get medicine, so he walked down the stairs to the kitchen on the first floor.

Abel followed closely behind Kant, 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 quickly helped him sit down, handed him the teapot and teacup, and said, "Your Highness, you seem to be drunk. Drink some tea and slow down."

"Thank you." Kant nodded in agreement, then took the teapot and teacup and poured himself a cup of tea. Lift it to your mouth and drink slowly.

Abel breathed a sigh of relief, sat down next to Kant, and said, "Your Highness, did you feel that there was something strange about Bandak's state when he arrived before dinner started?"

"Is it weird?" Kant raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully.

"Yes," Abel nodded immediately: "We got big news today. If it were a normal Bandak, he would have jumped to the ceiling excitedly. But his reaction was too cold. Alright."

"You say that, it seems a little bit." Kant nodded while recalling it: "Why don't we wait until Bandak comes back and ask him if something happened?"

"Yeah." Abel thought for a moment and nodded.

The two sat at the tea table and stayed quietly for a while. However, Bandak's knock on the door was never heard.

"Abel, you've been watching every time Bandak drinks medicine recently, right?" Kant said.

"I only saw him drink it once, and in the following days, he would get the medicine and drink it by himself." Abel responded: "But in my impression, he drank the medicine very quickly every time. Why? Are you coming back so slowly this time?"

"I think" before Kant could finish his words, there was a "dong-dong" knock on the door.

"Back." Abel stood up and said to Kant, then walked towards the entrance and unlocked the door.

Surprisingly, the person standing outside the door was not Bandak, but the waiter who looked pale.

"Lord Abel, Lord Kant! It's not good!" the waiter said in a trembling voice: "Lord Bandak has been poisoned."

"Poisoned?!" Abel immediately pushed the waiter away.

Standing on the fence of the corridor and looking towards the lobby.

The lobby on the first floor was also in chaos at this time, and the waiters in the store gathered around the door of the kitchen in panic. ,

"Take me to see quickly." Abel grabbed the lapel of the waiter beside him and ordered him.

"Yes, yes, yes." The waiter nodded nervously and led Abel downstairs.

When he reached the stairs, Abel suddenly remembered Kant who was still indoors. Then he raised his head and looked at the door of the guest room: he had left in a hurry, so the door was still open, and there was no Kant at the entrance.

"Weird" Abel muttered silently.

His Majesty Kant must also have known the news that Bandak was poisoned and fell to the ground. Why didn't he react at all?

The information in my mind became messy because of this discovery. Abel's figure couldn't help but froze in place.

"Lord Abel, what's wrong with you?" The waiter noticed Abel's movements and turned around and asked nervously.

Abel raised his head from his contemplation, frowned and looked at the half-orc waiter, and found that his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, so he asked strangely: "Why are you so nervous?"

After the words fell, Abel put his right hand on the waiter's shoulder. The moment he touched the other person, he felt the waiter's body trembling.

"Because Mr. Bandak fainted." The waiter moved his eyes to Abel's arm and replied hesitantly.

"Did you see how he fainted?" Abel continued to ask. The strength of the grip on his shoulders also became stronger.

"I, I, I don't know, I just" the waiter looked away and responded hesitantly.

After seeing this waiter for a long time, he couldn't explain why. A silver light flashed in Abel's pupils, he clapped his hands and said: "Bandak fainted. I have to find a few more people to take care of him with me. I will go to the soldier's room first to ask. When we arrive Before that, please help us call a carriage and send more people to look after him."

"But this" the waiter's expression became anxious.

Abel did not continue to pay attention to him, but turned and rushed towards the corridor on the third floor.

When arriving on the third floor, Abel knocked on the door of each guest room, but received no response.

"Where are the soldiers? Where have you done them?" Abel yelled at the waiter standing at the corner of the stairs.

The waiter came back to his senses and saw Abel rushing towards him. A look of fear appeared on his face, and he picked up his legs and started running.

Just as Abel jumped down the stairs and was about to chase this person, he was stopped by a familiar voice.

"Abel?" Bandak called as he stood at the door of the restaurant on the second floor, watching Abel fly past his eyes.

"Bandak?" Abel immediately stopped, walked up to Bandak, and said, "The waiters in this hotel are indeed dishonest. Just now they wanted to lie to me with the news that you were poisoned. Where are the soldiers? Is it here with you?"

"The soldiers are waiting in the restaurant." Bandak didn't realize what Abel meant for a moment, and said doubtfully: "The waiter in the store said that you and His Majesty asked us to stay here and not go out. But , when all the dishes were eaten and you still didn’t show up in the restaurant, I couldn’t help but come out to explore the situation.”

"Luckily you came out, otherwise I would never have thought that these guys trapped you here." Abel took a long breath and said: "The people in the hotel should be trying to ambush me and me while you are not paying attention. Your Highness. Use our lives to threaten you again."

After meeting with Bandak, Abel had already figured out the general logic, and his tone at this time was a bit angry and dissatisfied.

"Why do the people in the hotel do this to us?" Bandak opened his eyes slightly and asked, "And, where is 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, they should take action then. Your Highness did not follow me out. , I don’t know if something was wrong from the beginning, I’m going back now to have a look. You gather the soldiers quickly. Let’s rush out!” Abel explained.

Chapter 858: Dark clouds over the hotel

"Okay!" Bandak agreed immediately. Turn around and walk towards the restaurant.

Abel also walked to the guest room where Kant was without any delay.

The door to the guest room had been closed, and an ominous premonition emerged in Abel's heart.

He walked to the door, slammed the door with his palms, and shouted: "Your Majesty Kant! Your Majesty Kant! Are you still there? Open the door for me quickly, I am Abel."

Abel tilted his ears and leaned close to the door, looking forward to the movement inside the door.

After a sound of tables and chairs being moved, the door lock of the guest room was slowly opened. Abel held his breath and carefully hid his body behind the wall.

"Creak-" The door was opened a crack.

"Abel?" After hearing Kant's voice, Abel, who was squatting by the wall, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and responded: "Your Highness, the hotel is no longer safe. Let's rush out with the soldiers."

After Kant saw Abel's face, he opened the door with confidence and let him approach the room.

"Bang!" The door was closed again. Abel looked at Kant doubtfully and said, "Your Highness, we"

"We're not leaving." Kant walked to the tea seat and sat down, and said calmly.

"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 rush to conclusions yet." Kant waved his hand and said: "Even if there is indeed a trap here, it may not necessarily be planned by the people in the hotel. Now, the group of people who wanted to plot against us have failed. It’s empty. It’s them who should be anxious, not us.”

"So what do you mean, Your Highness?" Abel pondered for a while and asked.

"Contain the people in the hotel first and see what their plans are next." Kant said calmly: "Also, send someone to monitor what is known, contact the goblin clan management personnel, and ask them to An ambush was set up around the hotel.”

"Yes!" Abel nodded in agreement.

After receiving the order, Abel immediately turned around and left the guest room, going to contact Bandak and others.

The lobby that had been in chaos just now became silent again. The door of the hotel was closed by someone unknown when. Not only in the teahouse, but also in the kitchen and other places, no one could be seen.

Abel met Bandak and two groups of human and elven soldiers at the entrance of the restaurant.

The soldiers were already in formation, and everyone looked unhappy.

"Abel, why are you alone? Where is Your Highness?" When Bandak saw Abel appearing alone, he stepped forward nervously and asked.

"His Highness said, let us continue to stay in this hotel." Abel explained: "Moreover, His Highness believes that this action was not organized by people in the hotel."

"But the waiters in this hotel were involved in this plan." Bandak said puzzledly: "Without them, we wouldn't be so easily deceived."

"Well, in short, His 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 warned: "Now the enemy is hiding, we are hiding. We should tell the soldiers It’s better for them to be more careful.”

"Okay." Bandak agreed. Then he turned around and preached to the other soldiers: "Let's all set off together and go to the lobby on the first floor to conduct a search. Remember to pay attention to what is happening around you at all times, stay close to your comrades, and don't be alone. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded uniformly.

"I will take the soldiers downstairs, and you should pick up His Highness first." Bandak said to Abel, "There must be someone guarding Your Highness."

"Okay. Be careful." Abel nodded.

After watching Abel leave, Bandak directed the soldiers down the stairs.

The accountant who usually stayed next to the counter disappeared to no one knows where.

Bandak went to check the hotel door and found that the door bolt was plugged in from the inside.

Thinking of what Abel said just now, Bandak suddenly felt that this operation might be as His Highness Kant said: the people in the hotel were not involved in planning this plan.

"Everyone, start searching. Five people form a team and go look not only here, but also in the kitchen and in the backyard." Bandak ordered.

The soldiers immediately spread out and searched various places together with the captain of their team.

After a while, a discovery was made.

"Commander Bandak!" A Croatian soldier stood in front of the counter and shouted.

"What's wrong?" Bandak, 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 "counting room", Bandak immediately bent down to check: he found that the wine bottles had been piled on the floor, and the body of the counting house was stuffed into the narrow space.

"Is he still breathing?" Bandak raised his head and asked the soldier.

"No more," the soldier said, lowering his head.

Bandak found three or four soldiers and moved the accountant's body out of the wine pavilion. Place on the tea table.

The accountant was probably forced under the counter after his death. I don’t know what kind of strength that person had to do such an outrageous thing. Seeing that Felit’s bones had been deformed, Bandak He couldn't help but frowned and said: "I will guard this gentleman's body, and you can quickly search other places. As much as you can save."

"Yes." The four or five soldiers gathered around the tea table lowered their heads and replied.

After the soldiers dispersed, Bandak took off his cloak and covered the entire body of the accountant. After that, he stood motionless by the tea table, waiting for news from others.

I don't know when, Abel and Kant have walked in front of me. Bandak shook his head and said, "Are you here?"

"Who is this?" Abel asked solemnly.

"It's the cashier of the hotel, Mr. Philit." Bandak said word by word.

Kant couldn't help but frowned after hearing the name from Bandak's mouth.

"How did you discover him?" Kant asked after being silent for a while.

"The soldiers found him under the counter where the wine was hidden. He was already dead when they found him." Bandak explained solemnly.

Abel stepped forward and gently lifted a corner of his cloak. After taking a look, he quietly put down the cloak in his hand.

"Did you find anything else in other places?" Kant looked at Bandak and asked.

"Not yet." Bandak shook his head and said.

Chapter 859: The homeless man trapped in the cellar

Kant found a chair at the tea table and sat down, then directed the other two to help the soldiers.

After Abel and Bandak left, Kant's eyes rested on the body lying on the tea table.

Sadness showed in Kant's eyes.

His previous evaluation of the accounting office was not very good, and he usually followed his own rules and kept a distance from the accounting office. Now it seems that that idea is indeed condescending.

When a person is still alive, being hated by others and being liked by others are both fireworks in life. Because you and I belong to different people, I will hate you, like you, or ignore you. Those strong emotions stir up life.

Human interaction is like the process of exchanging labels with each other. Kant has no regrets about his actions. In terms of his sophistication, such a sudden accident will not allow him to overturn his logic.

He just stood from the perspective of a hotel guest and had some sad associations with the corpse in front of him. And it shows the emotions that a human being should have.

After waiting for about half an hour, Bandak and Abel turned back 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 see." Kant stood up and responded.

"Yes." After Bandak arranged his subordinates, he nodded to Kant.

The three of them immediately rushed to the backyard of the hotel: soldiers were gathering at the door of the cellar, carrying the unconscious hotel waiters into the courtyard one by one.

"How is the condition of the unconscious man?" Kant asked the soldier carrying the man.

"You're still breathing." The cellar was accessible up and down through wooden stairs. The soldiers carried the waiter, who was half a head taller than themselves, back to the ground. They were really exhausted. Faced with Kant's question, the soldier could only reply breathlessly.

"That's good." Abel nodded and said, "Bring the people in the hotel to a ventilated place, and I will come to help you later."

"Yes." The soldier nodded.

"This is terrible." The expression on Bandak's face was not optimistic, and he said at this time: "We haven't been able to confirm whether the group of villains responsible for planning have escaped from the store. They took the waiter and the hotel staff. The guests are all gathered here. What if they take advantage of the chaos and sneak in?"

Abel secretly screamed something bad, walked to the entrance of the cellar and shouted: "Everyone! Stop!"

This sudden burst of shouting made everyone stunned and stopped what they were doing.

Able paused and continued: "We only rescue hotel guests and waiters. All guests must present the keys to their rooms, and all waiters must be approved by their peers."

"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. They also searched the fainted people, and only those with keys could be taken out of the cellar by the soldiers.

Abel walked back to Kant and Bandak.

Bandak glanced at him and said, "You are really amazing. As soon as I thought of this, you were able to immediately come up with a corresponding plan and stood up and announced it to the soldiers in time."

"Your 'bad' is the key. Before that, I didn't even notice what the problem was." Abel responded uncomfortably after being praised.

"The plan Abel came up with is quite good. Even if there are omissions, there is no need to worry about the lives of innocent people." Kant said approvingly.

After adding the interrogation step, the speed of rescuing people became obviously slower. However, the rescued people quickly joined the rescue team after regaining consciousness. The flow of tasks has also become smoother.

"How many people's identities cannot be verified now?" Kant personally walked to the entrance of the cellar and asked a team leader in charge.

"Your Highness, the number of people whose identities are currently unknown is probably around eight." the team leader responded.

Kant looked at each other and Bandak on the side, and told the soldiers: "Let the soldiers be more careful. It is best to go in together as two people, so that they can take care of each other. It is easier to carry people."

"Yes, Your Highness." The soldier nodded.

Standing next to the entrance of the cellar were many homeless people who had escaped from the cellar. It was really inconvenient for Kant to be squeezed into the crowd. After explaining everything, he immediately got out with the help of Bandak and Abel.

"Help me! I'm really not the bad guy you think!" A shout came from the cellar, causing everyone who was busy in the courtyard to stop talking.

Kant and the other three also locked their sights on the entrance of the cellar. Awaiting the follow-up conversation.

"But you said you don't know anyone here, how can I let you out so easily?" The soldier's voice also sounded a little anxious.

"I just deliver food. It's my first time here today, and I don't know anyone. Who do you want me to find to prove it 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 to walk towards the cellar, while Bandak and Abel walked in front to clear the way for him.

Walking to the entrance of the cellar, Kant coldly ordered to the soldiers in the cellar: "All of you, withdraw."

"Your Highness?" The soldiers who were questioning him all raised their heads and looked up.

"Quick!" Bandak also ordered.

"Yes." The soldiers walked toward the stairs at the cellar entrance one after another.

"Want to leave?! You have to stay with us no matter what." The orc man who had just been questioned had a fierce look in his eyes and said in a hateful voice.

The seven or eight homeless people squatting beside the wall also responded to the man's words, picked up the farming tools in the cellar, and stabbed at 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 climbed up the wooden ladder and sneaked into the cellar. He walked in front of the soldiers and protected them behind him.

An undead roared and rushed in front of Bandak, and the undead battle ax in his hand was swung 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: "Bandak! Be careful!"

After all, Bandak's body has no fighting power at this time.

Chapter 860: The battle comes to an end

Facing the tomahawk that struck in front of him, Bandak took a deep breath and calmly observed the direction of the ax blade.

When the ax was about to cut his throat across, Bandak Xianghou took a step back. He jumped on the spot and kicked the undead with a horizontal kick.

The undead closed his eyes tightly, preparing to receive this heavy blow.

But Bandak restrained his strength and retreated to where he was. The soldiers behind him swarmed up and restrained the undead with ropes.

After Able knocked the assassin to the ground with a spell, he immediately handed over his opponent to the remaining soldiers. And he rushed towards Bandak's side.

"Are you okay?" Abel asked concerned.

"It's okay." Bandak shook his head with a normal expression and said, "Although his strength is not as good as before, his body has become accustomed to 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 Think of that."

"Most of the undead's skills are cumbersome, I can handle them." Bandak shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry."

"I won't let you take action next time." Abel still felt uneasy and said firmly.

When the conversation ended, the situation on the field gradually calmed down.

The soldiers escorted the prisoners out of the cellar and handed them over to Kant for questioning.

The man who had just launched the attack was escorted in front of Kant, his face full of unwillingness.

Kant raised his hand to signal the beastman to look at him, and asked: "Who sent you here? How did you sneak in?"

"No one told us, we just want to rest in this hotel." When the man replied, there was a hint of joking in his eyes. Kant couldn't help but frown.

"Have a rest? Didn't you just say that you were here to deliver food?" Kant stared at the man closely and asked.

"So what? I'm just a food delivery guy, so I can't just drink tea and rest for a while in this hotel?" The man said harshly: "How can you say I'm not innocent?"

"What do you say? Let the other waiters here listen. Ask any of them if there is any rule in this hotel for outsiders to carry food." Kant snorted coldly: "You have already told all your lies. It’s riddled with holes. What do you want me to say?”

"Me," the orc man was speechless by Kant's words, and immediately fell silent.

"The people from the Supervisory Office have almost arrived outside the door. I think maybe they are more suitable for interrogating you people." Kant shook his head and said: "Have you ever been to the Supervisory Office before? Judging from your actions, it is probably You must have been in. After all, I also know that the job of a 'clean' killer like you is not easy. But don't worry, I will let you have a good rest this time."

"Do you want to use your connections on the island to tie up some of our brothers? Outsiders on the island, I advise you not to worry about this. Most of the homeless people on the island have two faces. Don't trust your so-called friends too much. ." The orc man said coldly.

"This is not what you have to worry about." Kant said with a smile: "All soldiers, escort these people to the lobby. Wait for the adults from the Supervision Station to come and collect them."

"Yes!" The soldiers had long disliked this orc man who was full of arrogance. After Kant gave the order, they swarmed up and punched the man several times while pushing him.

When the orc man arrived at the lobby, his face was already 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 quickly." Kant ordered a soldier beside him.

Upon hearing this, the soldier immediately walked to the hotel door and removed the door latch. The goblin army came in.

A familiar goblin soldier stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty Kant, I'm sorry, we're late. 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, I was just delayed for a while by a temporary mission." The soldier responded apologetically: "It doesn't matter."

"We have subdued the homeless people who broke into the hotel. Please escort them back to the supervision center for trial." Kant returned to the topic and said.

"Is anyone in the store injured?" the goblin soldier confirmed.

"Most of the people locked in the cellar are not of any serious concern. They will probably wake up soon. Our staff here are treating them." Kant paused and continued: "The person who was killed was from this hotel. Accountant, I hope you can resolve this matter properly and give an account to the innocent victims."

"We will do our best." The goblin raised his head and glanced at Chen Heng's body on the tea table, and nodded in agreement.

The unidentified homeless people were handed over to the hands of the goblin soldiers, and Kant personally saw off the goblin army outside the door.

Felit's body was also carried away by the goblin soldiers, leaving only Bandak's cloak hanging on the tea table.

While watching the goblin soldiers leave, Abel asked Kant: "Your Highness, the owner of the hotel probably doesn't know about this yet. Felit's body was taken away like this."

"Don't worry, the owner of the hotel is a rational person. He should know why Felit's body is in the hands of the people in the supervision station." Kant took a deep breath, waved his hand and said.

"Can I still stay in this hotel?" Bandak asked the question in his mind.

"There's nothing we can do. The target of this group of people is us. No matter where we go, they will follow us. Let's just continue to live here." Kant responded.

"If this matter is spread on the street by the guests, the business of this hotel will not be optimistic." Abel said worriedly: "So it is better for us to continue to live here. We can't force the boss to To a dead end.”

The three of them stood at the door of the hotel for a long time before walking back to the lobby.

The people in the hotel have almost recovered to a healthy state, but after learning that the accountant passed away, everyone was enveloped in an atmosphere of sadness.

Kant arranged for the soldiers to put all the tea tables together and said to everyone: "Everyone, sit down and let's have a good chat. I still have many things to confirm with everyone."

After hearing this, the waiters and chefs in the store found a seat and sat down as Kant said.
