Chapter 845: The Waves of a Little Thing

After saying goodbye to Kant, the bookkeeper turned and walked down the stairs. It wasn't until the menu was handed over to the chef that the bookkeeper was still thinking about Kant's last question: in answering that question, the bookkeeper had deceived him, and in fact, the waiter was a soldier who had been arranged to pick up the city gates.

Ask why the bookkeeper would use concocted excuses to cover up inconsequential facts. Probably because his mind was filled with unknowability about the situation around him.

In case this was the task that Kant had given to Bandak and Able, and Bandak and Able had left the matter of greeting themselves to go to the pharmacy. Wouldn't they have been scolded by Kant, recalling the relaxed faces of Bandak and Able before they went out. Filit didn't want to spoil their pleasant atmosphere because of his gaffes.

I just made it easy to avoid trouble. Philip thought to herself.

It's just that Kant's eyes when he said goodbye made him feel at ease.

It seems that his lie was seen through by the other party the moment he said it, but the other party did not wake up his confused self.

"I didn't do anything wrong," Filit whispered.

Philit regained her position at the counter, ready to concentrate on the ledger. As a result, his attendants and a group of soldiers in armor stepped into the door of the inn.

"Mr. Fillet, the man brought it." A waiter stepped forward and whispered in Philitt's ear.

"Thank you for your hard work, and you will be rewarded at dinner. Let's go change your uniform. The bookkeeper nodded to the rest of the attendants and instructed.

"Yes." Three or four attendants greeted the soldiers happily and left.

A soldier who looked like the leader stepped forward and said hesitantly, "Listen to those people just now: Your Majesty Kant and they are all in your shop. ”

"Yes, Captain Bandak and Captain Able have prepared rooms for you to rest." The bookkeeper replied respectfully, "As long as you have taken the key, you can go upstairs and rest." ”

"That's great." The leader of the soldiers exhaled and said, "However, we still want to meet the captain first. ”

"This—" The bookkeeper retrieved the keys to the guest rooms and placed them on the counter for the soldiers to pick up. After hearing the leader's words, he replied, "Lord Abel and Master Bandak have just left the house, and Lord Kant is still taking a lunch break. It shouldn't be seen for the time being. ”

The soldier leader frowned and said, "You don't let us see the real person, how can we believe that Master Kant and his party are indeed in your shop?" ”

"Alas," the bookkeeper thought for a moment, and reluctantly took out the three gold coins that Abel had given him before from the box on the counter, and explained, "This is the room fee that Lord Abel has paid for you, and it should have the sign of the Elven Kingdom on it. If you don't believe me, you can come and see for yourself. If you don't believe that, I would like you to sit in this hall for a while until Lord Bandak and the others return. Master Kant is on his lunch break, and we, as the service staff in the store, will not take the initiative to wake him up. ”

The leader of the soldiers took the gold coin and looked at it for a moment. After seeing the portrait of the current king of the Elven Kingdom on the back of the coin. Nodding slightly, he said, "I believe in you." ”

"Take the keys yourself." The bookkeeper nodded and introduced to the soldiers, "The medium-sized room is for six people, and there are twelve rooms in total. The occupancy is up to you. ”

"Thank you." The team leader picked up all the keys on the counter and distributed them to the team leaders. He also ordered the soldiers: "Everyone carry the luggage back to the guest room first, and if you want to rest, you can rest for a while." We'll meet again at dinner. Disband! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers replied in unison.

After the soldiers picked up their luggage and left in groups, only the team leader and the bookkeeper were left in the lobby of the hotel.

The bookkeeper stood at the counter with his elbows on his elbows and settled the accounts. The team leader sat down at the café next to the door and drank the free tea provided by the store.

After the two spent a moment together quietly, Philit looked up and found that the leader was still in his seat, drinking tea and looking at the door, as if waiting for something. He took the initiative to talk: "I said, what's your name?" ”

"Carrey." The soldier turned his head to look at him and replied.

"Carry, my name is Fillet." The bookkeeper waved his hand and said, "Why don't you go back to your room to rest?" ”

"I'd like to wait here for the Bandakh Commander." Carrey responded.

Philip glanced at the sky, it was already evening. However, there is still a long time before Bandak and Abel return.

"They'll be back in about two hours, and I'll have my attendants let you know when that happens." The bookkeeper suggested, "You should go back to your room and rest first, you came by carriage after you got off the boat, right?" There is a bathroom where you can take a bath, so you can relax when you get here. ”

Kerry was silent for a long time after hearing Philett's words. After glancing at the threshold reluctantly, he walked to the counter and said to Philitte, "My room is number 308, please send someone to inform me when Commander Bandak returns to the inn." ”

"Okay, got it." The bookkeeper nodded.

"Thank you." After bowing slightly to the bookkeeper, Kerry turned to walk up the stairs, but he didn't expect his stomach to make a 'gurgling' sound at this time.

"By the way, you've been on the road today, so you haven't had much lunch." Philit said thoughtfully, "I'll go and ask the kitchen to prepare some meals for you." ”

Kerry stood silently, his cheeks flushed. He whispered, "Thank you." ”

"It's fine." As she passed by him, Filit patted him on the shoulder with her hand and comforted, "The march is a hard job. ”

After saying this, he turned around and walked into the back kitchen. Instruct the chef in the back kitchen to prepare a steak set for 70 people.

After dealing with the matter, he returned to the counter and said to Kerry, "Now you can go back to your room and rest, and take a good bath as I said." Lunch will be delivered to your room an hour later. ”

"Okay." Kerry took out a few silver coins from his pocket and said to the bookkeeper, "This is the meal." ”

"It's okay, this lunch is like a free gift from the inn to welcome you." Rather than accept the coin from Carey, Phillet waved his hand and refused.

"But—" Kerry's face showed an embarrassed expression, and he insisted, "No, I still have to ask you to take it." We don't eat overlord meals. ”

Chapter 846: The Burning Heat Rekindled in the Heart

"It's okay." Fillet withdrew the hand that Carey had handed over, shook his head, and said, "If your captain knows: I took your money for the meal." I can't do this business you brought. I'll have to plead guilty to the owner of the shop. ”

Under Fillett's 'intimidation', Kerry finally took back the money in his hand and thanked Fillett: "Thank you." ”

"It's okay, let's go and rest." Filit said with a smile.

"Hmm." Carey didn't say anything more, and bowed away.

"You're on the third floor, don't make a mistake." Fillet shouted and reminded Kerry.

Kerry glanced back, nodded, and continued to climb the steps of the stairs.

When Carey first appeared in Fillett's presence, Fillet fell in love with the child. Because there is tenacity in his eyes, persistence and tenacity. That look on the body of a gray-faced eighteen-year-old Terran soldier was indeed eye-catching.

In the course of talking to Carrey, Philit discovers that he is very introverted. This gave birth to infinite curiosity.

Why does a young child have that kind of dazzling light in his eyes, even if he is so introverted, he still becomes the leader of the soldiers.

Countless guessing thoughts flew through Philett's mind, reminding him of his original intention to open an inn with the half-orc boss. They want a stable life and a foothold in this town. I also want to meet all kinds of people and digest their experiences into my own development experience.

When such an idea was first proposed, it wore an aura of idealism.

Unconsciously, not only him, but even the innkeeper did not say a word about it.

Philit was a half-orc, and he was thirty-eight years old in terms of human age. But because of the eyes of a human soldier boy, in his heart, the flame of going out burned.

Feeling this, Philit looked up at the sky outside the window. There are no legends of the origin of the species that formed the system on this continent. So most of the races think they were created by God.

In Philit's heart: that soldier just now was the work of God, otherwise how could he have been so strongly infected in a short period of time.

"God, should I believe that this is your arrangement?" Fillet said silently.

Although he has reached middle age, he has not yet started a family. His parents had left him for another world a long time ago, and now, apart from his position as a bookkeeper in an inn, he had no obligations to bear.

He can drop everything generously, pick up his luggage, and go out on a rampage.

In the afternoon of this day, Philit pushed open the ledger that had been piled up in front of her on weekdays. Stay at the counter and brace your head in a reverie about what happened after he went out: what kind of adventures he would encounter, what kind of people he would meet, where his life would end, and what others would say about his name.

Before you know it, the window is already covered in night. The lobby of the hotel also became dark.

Swimming in fantasy, Philip forgot to light a candlestick in front of her table. As a result, when Bandak and Abel walked into the store, they were startled by his figure in the corner.

"Why is it so dark?" said Abel as he walked towards the store, screaming at the sight of Filit who was silent at the counter, "Ah! This is... Philit? ”

Philit was awakened from her fantasy and her body shook to the sound of Able screaming. He looked up at the two of them and said, "Ah, you're back." ”

"Philit! It's really you! Able walked to the counter, lit the candlestick, carefully checked the appearance of the person in front of him, and asked suspiciously, "Did you fall asleep just now?" When Bandak and I walked in, we didn't even notice you. ”

"Why is it so dark in the store, is something wrong?" Bandak cared.

"It's fine. You're right, I fell asleep just now. Philip hurriedly waved his hand and said, "When I woke up, it was dark, and no one in the store gave me a light." ”

"Where's the people in the store?" Abel asked, looking around.

"I sent my attendants to the gates to receive the soldiers, and now it's been two hours since they returned. I guess I'm preparing for dinner. Philip glanced at the stopwatch in her arms and said.

"I see." Bandak nodded, "You say so, the soldiers are already in the guest rooms now?" ”

"Yes, they've been on the road all day, and they should have finished their lunch by now, and they're resting." Philit thought for a moment and said, "There was a kid named Kerry who said he would stay in the lobby until you came back. I persuaded him to go upstairs. He seems to be the leader of the team or something. ”

"yes, Carrey is there too." Bandak's eyes lit up and he said, "This kid of his, who is usually a little wooden, and is not good at socializing with people. But the heart is still very good, and the performance in completing the task is also excellent. ”

"I think he seems to be quite young, did the military camp in Calradia start recruiting at such an early age?" Philit asked, confused.

Bandak saw that Philit was a little curious about Kerry, so he patiently explained, "Kerry seems to be eighteen years old this year. In fact, according to the normal procedure: you can officially join the army at the age of eighteen. It's just that he was an orphan adopted by one of our mid-ranking officers, and he has been kept in the barracks since the army was formed. I used to watch him do well when he was training with an officer. He was asked if he had any ambitions to join the army, and with the consent of him and his adoptive father, he was admitted to the army at the age of sixteen. ”

"I see." Filids replied with a nod and said nothing more.

"Where is Your Majesty now?" Able asked.

"His Majesty Kant should still be in the room." Fillet replied, "I guess I've gotten up, eaten lunch from the back kitchen, and I'm reading a book in my room." ”

"Your Majesty has been working hard lately." Able lowered his head and said, "When you can relax, let him relax for a while." ”

"Did you buy the medicine?" Philit remembered the purpose of the two of them going out, and asked.

"Got it." Speaking of this, a hint of joy appeared on both Abel and Bandak's faces, and they said happily, "Thank you for recommending those pharmacies for us. The scale is really remarkable, and after we asked the people at the pharmacy about the condition, they immediately found out the medicine for us. ”

Chapter 847: The daily life of the inn's housekeeping

"Medicine, you still have to drink it to see how you can count." Philit was happy for them, but she still carefully advised, "Have you asked about the daily dosage of medicine?" ”

"Hmm." Bandak nodded and said, "Not only that, but the owner of the pharmacy also gave me a set of acupuncture and moxibustion, saying that the spread of poisonous gas on my body should be sealed. Now I feel like my body is back to myself. ”

"That's great." Fili nodded and said, "No wonder you came back so late, it turns out that you have met a hermit who knows acupuncture." ”

"It happened to happen." Able happily replied, "The prescription will take hours, I think... Can you borrow the pot stove from the hotel..."

"Absolutely." Philip agreed: "As long as Master Bhandak's condition can be improved, the facilities in this store can be rented to you whenever you want." ”

"Thank you." Bandak said heartily.

"It's fine." Philip smiled and said: "You people outside the island really like to say 'thank you' or something, in fact, since we are already familiar friends, there is no need to be so polite in these details." ”

"Huh." Bandak smiled helplessly and explained, "Maybe it's a habit to say thanks, but I can't think of anything to say other than thank you." ”

"Then let it be." Philit said unconcernedly.

Able glanced at the carriage parked at the door, and suddenly remembered that the stains that Bandak had spat on the carriage had not yet been cleaned, so he took the initiative to say goodbye to Filit, "Excuse me, Philit. We were still in a bit of a hurry, so we took our leave. ”

"Huh? Where are you going? Filit asked, looking suspiciously at the two men who were walking towards the door of the inn.

"We—" Abel replied, turning around, "to take the carriage back to the carport." ”

"It's okay, there will be a groom to pick it up later. You don't have to do this yourself. Philit walked out of the counter and explained kindly.

"No, no, no, I think we'll have to do it ourselves." Bandak hurriedly shook his head and said, "If this carriage is returned like this, then it will be fine." You can't lose face in front of others.

The two left the lobby in a hurry, and Filit looked at the back of the two of them with a puzzled expression. After being stunned for a while, he walked to the corner of the lobby and lit the candlestick of the inn.

At this time, the smell of the dishes coming out of the pot came from the back kitchen.

Fillet walked over to the kitchen stove and asked the chef, "How long is it until dinner begins?" ”

"Lord Bookkeeper, there are about ten minutes left, and all the dishes will be ready." Chef turned and responded.

"That's good." Filip nodded and said, "Today, the guests on the third floor will take over the kitchen on the second floor, so don't forget to send someone to clean the table." ”

"Yes." The head chef agreed.

Fillet left the room and turned to leave the kitchen. Inform the waiters who are busy in the courtyard to rush to the various restaurants to prepare their meals. Things like cleaning and turning on the lights.

On weekdays, most of the store affairs are handled by Philit. The owner of the inn is responsible for socializing outside.

Philett stood hesitantly by the handrail of the stairs on the first floor, thinking to himself what kind of person the innkeeper would find to take over his job if he left the inn.

He and the innkeeper have been friends for many years, and when he first bought the site, most of it was borrowed from the innkeeper. And Philit invested only a small part of the money. However, the innkeeper did not ask him to accompany him out to socialize because of his status as an accountant. Instead, he thoughtfully entrusted the affairs of the inn to him, while he was busy outside.

When Philett thinks she has nothing to fear and can walk away. The cause planted by the innkeeper many years ago has blossomed into his heart.

Philip looked at the door of the inn and realized that with her current strength, she was still a long way from crossing this threshold.

At dinner time, Kant did not rush to meet the soldiers after receiving the news of their arrival, but first walked to the dining room and quietly waited for the arrival of the others.

Abel was rinsing the carriage with clean water by the carport, and he also smelled the smell of food coming from the inn.

The dirt inside the carriage had been thoroughly cleared by him, but there was still some stench left in the carriage, and Able could only wipe the inner walls of the carriage inch by inch.

Bandak stood by and cleaned up the garbage.

"It's all because of you, we should have stayed in the restaurant at this time." Able said angrily: "Where can you clean the carriage in this carport like now, and it is stained with a stench. ”

"Isn't it because you insist: You must ride in your carriage? I think you did it on purpose. Bandak responded.

The two of them lashed out at each other, unconsciously prolonging the time it took to clear the carriage.

It wasn't until Bandak and Able changed into neat clothes and appeared in the dining room. The soldiers in the cafeteria had already feasted. Only Kant is still waiting for them.

"Why are you so slow?" Kant asked with a frown.

"Bandakhe..."

"Don't talk about it during dinner." Able was about to explain, but was cut off by Bandak.

"Hmph." Able snorted, and lost the desire to continue.

Kant smelled a strange smell floating on them, and glanced at Abel again. I already know it in my heart.

"You—" Kant said in disgust, "Forget it, Kerry is having dinner with us today, people have been waiting for you for so long, you have to say hello." ”

"Ahh Abel was stirring the salad, looking up in surprise and said, "Kerry? ”

Then his gaze moved to a young soldier on the table, and he continued, "Are you Carrey?" ”

"Yes." Kerry had seen Abel a few times on the coast, but only knew that he was the leader of the elven ranks. Because there was no need to hand over to Abel's work, they didn't know each other well. At this time, he could only nod shyly in response.

"I heard Bandak mention you, and he said that you grew up in the barracks and have a great talent as a soldier." Bandak said with a smile.

"Thank you." Kerry nodded shyly.

"I've rarely heard him praise people like that." Able continued to stir the salad and said, "I'm sorry, we were in a bit of a hurry before the meal, so we were late. ”

Chapter 848: Small Talk at the Dinner Table

"No... Never mind. Kerry clenched his fists nervously,

"Kerry is more recognizable, so he looks more shy." Bandak explained to Kerry, "It's okay, Kerry. Now that we're here, you can start eating with confidence. Don't care. ”

"Yes." Kerry looked back at Bandak and nodded in response.

Bandak spent time with him second only to his adoptive father. So Bandak is also one of Carrey's two closest people in the military.

"Did you find anything at the pharmacy in town today?" After Kant saw that Kerry was about to eat his dinner with peace of mind, he asked Bandak and Abel beside him.

"I found out, and I met a doctor with a lot of experience." Bandak immediately responded: "He prescribed me a few pairs of medicines, and gave me acupuncture or something. In short, now the worm Gu on my body has begun to become controlled by external forces. ”

"Did the doctor tell you anything?" Kant continued.

"I didn't say anything, I just said that this Gu poison is incurable for the time being." Abel replied, "However, we can use the methods of slowing down other Gu poisons to control its spread. ”

"That's fine." Kant nodded in agreement: "Although the Yinchi insect is a rare product that has been cultivated, it seems that the experiment of the Medicine King is still controlled within the controllable range. ”

"Your Highness, we heard that you spent the whole day in the guest room today after we left. Isn't it too busy lately to keep your body going...", Bandak asked worriedly.

"No, I've been working a lot more lately." Kant smiled reassuringly, "It's just that I think it's good for my body." It's just that I've been with the crowd for a long time and want to return to my own space for a while. ”

"Since the body is fine, then we can rest assured." Able didn't know much about Kant's way of decompressing, but he was also very worried about Kant's physical condition and could see him take the initiative to stop and rest. Abel was also happy in his heart.

"Excuse me... What was the Gu poison you were talking about just now? A faint inquiry came from the side of the three.

Bandak looked back in surprise and saw that Kerry was looking at him awkwardly, and said in a panic, "It's nothing, it's just..."

"Commander Bandak has been poisoned by a very rare Gu poison," Kant said at this time, "Now his body is not as good as before, and in two months, there is still a possibility that he will be devoured by the worm eggs in his body." ”

"What?" Kerry's eyes conveyed disbelief. At this time, he covered his mouth and screamed.

"Kerry, don't worry." Bandak did not want to overturn Kant's claims, because he knew that his previous cover-up was the real state of affairs. He could only speak softly at this time: "My brother's illness will get better." ”

Able glanced up at Bandak and opened his mouth, but he still held back the words.

"Really? Brother Bandak. Kerry's emotions became vulnerable, and he asked as he looked at Bandak with red eyes.

"yes, it will." Kant nodded on the side and said, "As long as we stand by his side, God can't take him away." ”

"Hmm." Kerry clenched his fists, stopped his tears, and nodded, "Brother Bhandak, can you tell me how to cure him of your illness?" ”

"Just find that bastard who gave Bandak a trick and force him to hand over the antidote. Bandak can continue to live. Abel began, "And the important step to achieve this goal is whether the eyeliner that our group has placed in the city has found any clues of the murderer. ”

"I will definitely go all out for this action." Carey said firmly.

Bandak looked at a child who was ten years younger than himself and almost watched him grow up, showing the responsibility of an adult at this moment.

The emotions inside have also become complicated.

"You don't have to get involved in this matter yourself." "Let the more experienced soldiers under him do it," Bandak said. ”

"No, I have to go." Kerry shook his head and said, "If I don't go, I won't feel that I have paid for this operation, and I will regret it for the rest of my life." ”

"That's... All right. Bandak reluctantly agreed, "But be careful." ”

"Hmm." Carey agreed.

"We haven't revealed this to the rest of the soldiers." Able admonished, "In order for the soldiers to operate without too much psychological burden, Carey, you must not disclose Bandak's illness to any of the soldiers. ”

Previously, they had ignored Kerry listening quietly by their side, so they accidentally leaked the news.

"yes, I see." Kerry nodded.

"By the way, Kerry, how did you find this place today?" Kant asked, after swallowing the food in his mouth.

"It was the innkeepers who came to pick us up, and when they saw us, they said to us, 'It was the Captain of Bandak and Captain Abel who personally commanded it.'" Carey replied in detail.

"I see." Kant nodded lightly and said.

Then he looked around, and after not finding the bookkeeper, he lowered his head to look at the food in the bowl.

"It was indeed arranged by us in Filit." Abel nodded and admitted, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, I just want to advise you: less contact with Filit in the future." Kant said lightly: "If you need help with anything in the future, I will finally ask the innkeeper first." ”

"The innkeeper doesn't stay in the hotel much." Bandak thought for a moment and said, "It's just that Your Highness would think of letting us have less contact with Philit. ”

"I saw that there were fewer waiters in the store today, so I asked him strangely: Where have all the waiters gone? As a result, he told me that the waiter had gone to the city gate to buy goods. And Kerry just said: The waiter at the inn is there to pick them up. Kant said word for word.

After hearing this, Bandak and Abel looked at each other and said apologetically, "Excuse me, Your Majesty. About this..."

"You don't need to explain what Mr. Bookkeeper thinks in his heart, how you ask him. I know it all in my heart. Kant waved his hand and interrupted Abel explaining. And said: "You may not understand my decision now, but if you think about it, you will know that when Philit does things, he always puts himself in the safest place, and no matter how the affairs of the bureau unfold, it will not affect himself. This is a sign of fear of responsibility. ”
