Chapter 607 (1/2)
Under the dark night, a man in a taupe hood was walking fast.
Although he has been walking in the shadow as much as possible, and still walking close to the root of the wall, in the eyes of some senior thieves, this man's hiding skills are very poor. It can even be said that he keeps leaving all kinds of traces all the way.
Fortunately, it was late at night, and there were not many people in the street. Except for the soldiers of the seventh Corps who kept patrolling back and forth, they didn't see anyone again. Logically speaking, walking up such a heavily guarded street, even the most senior thieves and even assassins must move forward carefully, but for this person, it seems like entering a deserted place. He can always move forward in the blind spot of vision between the two patrols, which is almost less than a second.
Many people have noticed the sight of the man wearing the adventurer's cloak. After discovering this, they have chosen to take back their sight.
Nowadays, there are a lot of people in tonis fortress. Even though the seventh Legion has fully implemented military control, no one knows how many people with different purposes have been mixed in this huge fortress when a huge stream of people poured into it. In addition, with the imminent promotion of the Principality of lane, both the upper and lower nobles in the domestic aristocracy circle are facing a reshuffle. Therefore, although there is no invasion of foreign enemies for the time being, it is still impossible to avoid that the whole kingdom of lane will fall into a state of political turmoil in a short time.
Usually, political turmoil often means conspiracy, assassination, and even the decline and destruction of one, two or even several families.
Political victims, that's all.
However, the political turmoil that Ryan kingdom will cause this time is actually limited to a relatively small scope.
To put it bluntly, that is, the interest contradiction between the old Ryan aristocracy and the capitulationist emerging Ryan aristocracy.
In a state of almost no one, the mysterious man soon came to a small hotel that looked rather shabby.
This is a hotel with certain historical traces in the inner city of tonis fortress. It is said that it was established when the fortress began construction. During that busy time, the hotel always provided the soldiers and a few workers in the fortress with high-quality and cheap food and hot wine. Therefore, later, when the fortress was completed, the Marquis of tonis fortress held a celebration banquet here, which later became the most proud sign of the hotel.
However, with the change of time, when more and more people began to pour into the fortress, all kinds of more high-grade pubs and hotels began to open, and the hotel was gradually forgotten in people's memory. Today, the hotel has become the best choice for poor travelers - even adventurers with a little money will not stay here.
But for some people, the existence value of this hotel is very high.
Because there are no adventurers, mercenaries, demon hunters and so on, the hotel will not be popular. The unpopular place usually means the lack of intelligence exchange, which is naturally a worthless place for those who rely on intelligence for food, so there will be no spies coming to such a place. In this way, the hotel is equivalent to a natural sound insulation place, so in the eyes of those who really know the goods, this hotel is the best choice.
The man who had not revealed his identity so far took a careful look, and then pushed open the wooden door of the hotel and went in.
A rotten and moldy smell came up, which made the mysterious man's eyebrows wrinkle slightly.
The boss in the counter in the hotel is an old man. His face is actually close to the bone, giving people an abnormal feeling. He raised his head slightly and looked at the mysterious man entering the door. His eyes were so indifferent that it was incredible. The mysterious man wearing a cloak even had an illusion of being seen through. How long has he not appeared?
”There's only one room left.” The old man's voice was hoarse like blowing out of a bellows. The mysterious man could even see that when the old man said this, his chest was even compressed directly, which made him very worried about whether the old man would die directly after saying the next sentence.
”No, I'm just looking for someone.” The mysterious man said quickly. Even he didn't know why he was so restrained in front of the old man. It felt like meeting an elder.
”The woman with the dragon on her head?” The old man glanced at each other. ”Go up. It's the second room on the left. They haven't slept yet.”
The mysterious man said his thanks with some restraint, then turned and began to go upstairs.
The whole small hotel gave people a feeling that it would collapse at any time. As soon as he stepped on the stairs, he gave a creak. It seemed that he would be crushed if he tried harder. In this way, naturally, he only dared to go upstairs carefully and not too hard, but fortunately, when he went up to the second floor, the floor became much thicker, which made him feel a little relaxed.
The corridor on the second floor of the small hotel can see obvious signs of modification. It seems that there was no such corridor at the beginning, but even so, this corridor can only accommodate one person. According to the old man, the man who had not taken off his hood and cloak knocked on the door of the second room on the left, and then the door was opened the next moment.
The hotel room is narrower than expected, just a bed against the wall, a table near the window and a chair. There is nothing else. However, it can be seen that these things are obviously very old and have a history of at least more than ten years. It can be seen that these things definitely existed before the completion of tonis fortress.
The only advantage is that the bedding in the room is washed very clean and even gives off a faint fragrance.
It was Rena who opened the door. She had taken off her cloak and armor. She was only wearing a white coarse cloth shirt and a pair of legged trousers. The whole person looked like a tough feeling.
After seeing Rena, the man finally lifted his hood.
The face under the hood was broad.
Rena's eyes flashed a different color. It was obvious that she didn't know Brod's intention to go here in such a deep night. For a time, the atmosphere outside the room seemed a little tangled and low. After all, the two sides almost fought this morning. As a result, it was not long before Broder visited late at night. No wonder at this moment, Rena immediately tightened her nerves.
In the room, Sean sat at his desk and seemed to be flipping through a book. He read it so seriously that he didn't find it at the first time when Brod came. It was not until the atmosphere in the room became a little strange and low that Sean came back. When he turned around, he saw that Broder had been blocked out by Rena and started at once.
Cecilia, who was lying in bed, opened her eyes and looked at the man outside the door. When she saw that it was Broder, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep. The journey these days has made her feel very tired. With Broder's strength and situation, it is not enough for everyone in the room to go out together. A Rena is enough for him to come back. So just turned over and Cecilia fell asleep again.
