Chapter 186 (2/2)
When the gangsters were almost running and there was no movement outside, the guys hiding behind the counter stretched out their heads one by one, looked around carefully, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.
The hotel owner, who was paralyzed in the center of the hall, slipped aside when Loren appeared and hid behind a overturned table. After making sure there was no one around, he swallowed his saliva and climbed out from behind bit by bit on the ground.
Just put out his head, ”smiling” black haired wizard's face appeared in front of him.
”Ah --!!!”
The screaming hotel owner was almost stunned by the direct fear. He lay on the ground and looked at Lauren leaning up. He also enthusiastically stretched out his right hand: ”are you okay?”
”No, no, really no!” the smiling hotel owner kept wiping his sweat and looked at the black haired wizard smiling at him with trembling pupils: ”thank you very much. Without you, we must be finished today - these guys won't leave until they get the money!”
”Oh, really? That's great.” Lauren smiled and nodded, followed by a change of scene: ”let's talk now about what you stole from my friend.”
”What did you steal? What, what, I don't know what it is!” the sweat of Rubao kept dripping from the head of the hotel owner: ”you, you must be mistaken. It's all nonsense by those guys!”
”No, you should be mistaken.”
The dark haired wizard squatted down slowly and pulled the hotel owner in front of him with a smile: ”I'm not asking, but threatening you - don't hand over your things. I promise you won't see the sun tomorrow, and you will spend a long time before the sun rises.
I'm a wizard. I want to fix you more than those guys, so you'd better believe me! ”
In his spare time, Loren's right hand felt a picked up dagger like a magic trick and put it on the hotel owner's neck, threatening him without concealment.
Facing the threat of a wizard and a wizard who can easily clean up a dozen gangs and gang leaders, the hotel owner finally chose to give up resistance and obediently took Loren to the place where he hid his things.
Unexpectedly, the place where the innkeeper hid his things was not his room, but under a pit dug under the counter. In other words, the drunk stepped on what he wanted just now, but he never found it - I have to say, this way is really full of irony.
Slowly took out the wooden box in the pit, and then opened it with the key. The owner of the hotel with meat pain took out a thick parchment booklet from it and handed it to Loren as if it were a note: ”that's it, Mr. Wizard - I found it under your friend's bed. I just think...”
”I think this thing should be very valuable. It can cover his room and make a lot of money,” Lauren said sarcastically as he took the note.
For a wizard, any notes and research records are priceless, because the research of wizards is often very long, even for more than ten years and decades. It is not surprising that it even takes several generations. Many achievements are inherited from their parents and even grandparents.
Taking away a wizard's research notes is tantamount to depriving him of all the value of life - conversely, if you can get a research that has been inherited for generations or even decades, the help for a wizard will be immeasurable!
”Is that all?”
”Of course, I just found it when cleaning your friend's room after he left!” the innkeeper explained in a panic, his eyes widened and his speech became hasty: ”that's all. I dare to swear to the holy cross that if I lie in time, it will make my life worse than death!”
”Your piety is amazing, but I'm not asking you.” the black haired wizard glanced aside to another hotel man trembling: ”really... Is that all?”
This guy was the one who leaked the news to the gangs before. He stared wide and nodded desperately. Against the fierce eyes of the boss next to him, ”that's all. When the wizard moved away, many people came. This one was omitted at that time!”
There was also a group of people... Thinking Lauren stared at his notes.
Things seem to be moving in the direction they least want
