Chapter 110 (1/2)
The sun rises, another beautiful day.
The feeling of working smoothly is always so beautiful, especially when watching those coins jingle and fall into your pocket.
While calculating accounts, arrow felt a little excited about the huge revenue in these two days.
It seems that even if you don't go to the mine, as long as the army is stationed here, there will be more people. When there are more people, there will naturally be more work. Especially the adventurer guild like yourself. You need people wherever you go, don't you?
Alas, I only hate my guild. There are still too few people! Think about other people's guild, which has hundreds of permanent members. When such a guild president goes out, he feels that he has face.
Calculate the account, and arrow closed the account book with a smile on his face.
But just when he looked at the sun and planned to go to the kitchen to cook dinner and entertain those members who had been busy all day to go home for dinner
A man hurried in from the door, waved his head left and right, and ran towards ello.
”Oh! Sir whisky! ”
Arrow is still thinking about the adjustment of these two days. The army should be able to arrange to go to the mine again, right? It was no surprise to him that whisky appeared.
But then when he saw the apparently tight face of whisky, ello immediately knew - trouble.
”President arrow, has the puppet captain come to you?”
When he ran to the counter, the whisky covered his face, which surprised arrow.
He didn't even react for a moment. He shook his head blankly and said, ”no, I haven't seen him since the camp separated three days ago. What's the matter?”
Whisky seemed a little nervous and anxious. He stamped his feet, rubbed his hands and said, ”there's nothing here... You should be the most unlikely place for him to come? None of this... Where has he gone? ”
With that, whisky was about to turn and go out.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, arrow turned his eyes and immediately stopped: ”what's going on? Did the captain lead the soldiers away or something? ”
Whisky stood at the door of the guild, looked at the street outside, didn't know where to look for it for a moment, hesitated for a moment and said, ”he's missing! His team members are still waiting for gold, but this guy suddenly disappeared two days ago! That's good. Everyone thought he ran away with that piece of gold! ”
”But when I searched his house later, I found that the gold was well placed in the box under the bed. His team members were not in a hurry. Their team leader absconded with money, but after a day, seeing that their team leader still didn't come back, they thought something might have happened and began to look for him in the whole camp. But until now, I can't find it anywhere. ”
Arrow thought for a moment and said with a little hesitation, ”will he... Run into the mine alone and want to hunt the corpse eater and get gold?”
Whisky rubbed his hands, nodded and said, ”we thought so, but later we saw that his equipment and swords were well placed. It didn't look like going out to fight. I don't believe he can tear the corpse eater with his bare hands. Besides, the weather is getting colder and colder now. In this case, a person ran outside for three days and didn't come back. Our whole camp will be noisy! ”
”Anyway, the puppet captain is also count Kapp's confidant. You think, a confidant suddenly disappeared out of thin air without even telling the count. The things in this can be big or small! So now the count was very angry and asked to get this guy back quickly! For this, the count even offered 100 gold coins as a reward. ”
This is indeed a big problem.
The sudden disappearance of a confidant only represents two possibilities.
One is that his confidants are suddenly solved. Since the other party can solve your confidants unknowingly, it means that others can solve you easily. Solving the behavior of your confidants is undoubtedly a warning that you are not allowed to do something or must do something.
The other is that the trusted defector who knows too many secrets and scandals has turned to the camp of hostile forces with a lot of bad news.
No matter which of the above situations, this represents a big problem now! In contrast, ello thought that now the count of Karp should prefer that the puppet captain rolled into the gold mine when he was drunk and was torn to pieces by the corpse eater.
”Well, it's really a big problem.”
Just as he was talking, Brad, Buffy, cocoa and cream outside the door also came home from work. As soon as cream entered the door, he said, ”president, what's going on outside? There are soldiers everywhere... Ah. ”
After seeing the whisky here, the cream stopped talking. Especially when they saw the dignified eyes of their president, they all knew that the current situation was not good.
”Clean up and let's go out and find someone. The count spent a hundred gold coins asking us to bring back the missing puppet. ”
”Puppets? The soldier who looks bad tempered and greedy? ”
When it comes to puppets, cocoa's complexion is not very good-looking. It's not surprising that the little girl didn't seem to give a good face to someone with a little identity. From another point of view, is this little girl a very power hating child?
Arrow nodded: ”anyway, we can't get along with money. I know everyone has worked hard all day, but please work harder and work harder. If I earn these 100 gold coins, I will give you a bonus. ”
Money is second to this task.
More importantly, the disappearance of puppets is also a trouble for arrow.
As I said before, every businessman doesn't want anything to happen to his bribery object, because it represents the reconstruction of the relationship network and great instability.
Therefore, the guild really wants to find this person as soon as possible.
Simply clean up. Ello put on his equipment bag, food and water. When everyone's equipment was also worn, he immediately followed whisky out of the guild and went to the military camp.
As soon as you walk into the street, you can immediately feel the tension of the surrounding atmosphere. The soldiers who came and went were conducting various inspections, almost door-to-door searches, and every townsman who had not time to go home would be stopped and asked. According to this inspection, it will take about ten minutes to walk a hundred meters.
With whisky leading the way and the name of the official cooperation association, the mermaid song walked out of the town all the way, got on the carriage and went to the camp.
As soon as we entered the camp, the tension became stronger.
Whisky pointed to count Kapp's tent over there and said, ”let's talk to the count first?”
”No, we don't have time. Let's find someone first.”
Since arrow said so, whisky also took the people to the camp of the puppet team. After talking with the team members, arrow found that they didn't know much. Look at the tent where the puppets live now. The things in it really didn't move. It looks like it suddenly disappeared.
”Well...”
Arrow squatted in the camp and looked at the messy bed.
The cream in the back came up and said, ”it looks like he suddenly got up and left while he was sleeping? Did the captain suddenly think of something? ”
Arrow thought for a moment and said, ”since it's midnight, the toilet should be the most likely. Sir whisky, have you checked the toilet? ”
Whisky: ”yes, I've looked for all the places I should look for. I'm afraid we've seen the toilet several times in the past three days, but unless this guy directly fell into the cesspit and drowned, where can he go?
Arrow shook his head: ”in a word, I'd better go to the bathroom first. HMM... by the way, how are you doing with your health work? ”
Whisky: ”why did you suddenly ask this?”
Arrow smiled: ”nothing. I just feel that your camp has no taste. Generally speaking, there is always a strange smell in the place where so many people gather. ”
With these words, arrow regretted a little. Because whisky is now looking at himself with a strange look.
HMM... maybe men don't think the smell of sweat when many men gather together is a strange smell?
Seeing this, ello quickly changed the topic: ”in a word, go and see the toilet first.”
After leaving the tent, led by whisky, the people came to a pit on the east side of the camp. The dry latrines here are simply surrounded by wood and cloth. Next to it were piles of excavated earth, which was buried directly after the work.
Now, the sky is very dark, and torches are lighting up in the camp. But such light is obviously inconvenient to search around. Moreover, the dry toilet is only surrounded by a piece of cloth. It doesn't look like a person can hide in it for three days.
Squeak——
Just as arrow hesitated to go in and have a look, a slight voice sounded from afar.
Turning his head, he saw a small hooked toothed mouse hiding in the dark of the fire. After seeing arrow and others looking at it, the hooked toothed mouse not only didn't escape, but rushed to the toilet and got into the curtain at once. It seemed that it was going to be stationed in the dry toilet.
”Coco, summon your dead soldiers.”
