Chapter 66: Project Azeroth Celebrity (19)

Just when Xia Yu and the others were having dinner, a sumptuous banquet was also held in the banquet hall of the Storm Fortress.

The food at this banquet was much more sumptuous than that of Xia Yu and the others, and the long banquet table was filled with all kinds of delicacies, such as roast suckling pig with golden skin, mussel chowder with cream seasoning, roasted rock sheep from Arathi, baked lobster from Minahill Harbor, velociraptor omelet from Thorn Valley, and wine from Lordaeron, which were shipped by sea before the disaster, and tasted even more mellow after years of cellaring.

The people who participated in the banquet were all the aristocratic elders and upper-class figures of Stormwind City, but the atmosphere of today's dinner was a little stiff.

"That damn thief has robbed my family of generations of savings, Lady Catlana, please help us call the shots."

He was crying about one of the bitter lords of the day, Duke Bores Visak, who only found out that his house had been stolen in the evening, when he was about to change into a formal dress to come to the banquet, and as soon as he entered the bedroom, he found that the door of the secret passage had been opened, and he thought that there would be a charred body of a thief in the secret passage, but he did not know that he saw a looted vault.

Onexia glanced at the duke with a sad face, and sneered in his heart, your family's belongings have already been copied by the orcs, how can there be any savings for generations, and those money are obviously my share of the funds I gave you from the reconstruction of Stormwind City.

She glanced at the Duke coldly and nodded noncommittally.

The other bitter master, Duke Greg Leskova, agreed with a gloomy face, "That's right, this thief is so rampant, stealing from famous nobles in a row, it is clearly a provocation to Stormwind City, and it must not be tolerated. ”

Greg's reaction was even more violent, not only did he lose his money, but he also killed a group of assassins he had managed to bribe and raise, which made him not only angry, but also terrified, if that person wanted to assassinate him, wouldn't he be dead?

Boval also slapped the table angrily, "Lady Catlana, my home has also been burglarized, this thief has stolen the sword of the royal guard given to me by the previous king, this rose thief must be caught. ”

Onexia was also a little surprised at this time, she actually stole four in a row, shouldn't her mansion be stolen too? It doesn't matter if she loses some belongings, her family is an empty shell anyway, and the key is not to expose 'that person'.

She'd been in Stormwind all this time, and she wasn't sure if her home had been stolen, but it should be fine, and she had arranged for Veskag to guard the prisoners, even if Van Cleef came.

"Shore, why doesn't MI7 have any leads?"

Xiao Er looked at everyone present with an indifferent expression, and a trace of sadness flashed in his heart, Stormwind City is controlled by such a group of people, obviously the country is in crisis, but this group of nobles only knows about daily feasts and gatherings, and it is called the 'Council of Patriarchs'.

But his face did not fluctuate, and he said calmly: "Since the king's disappearance, MI7 has been ordered to remove the security of Stormstorm Fortress and Upper Town, and now the security of Upper City and Stormwind Fortress is the responsibility of the Royal Janissary, I think you should ask Captain Victor about this matter." ”

Katrana's face sank, this matter was actually pushed behind her back, it was she who drove the MI7 out of Uptown on the grounds that the escort was not good, so as not to be discovered by them, but this would become an excuse for the other party to evade responsibility, it is really unreasonable.

"Hmph, is this the reason for your inaction, if the thieves want to enter the upper city, they must enter from the rest of Stormwind, and those areas are not monitored by your MI7? As a result, you didn't even notice the slightest clue, and you really disappointed me. ”

Xiao Er was speechless when he said this, and his heart said that this is okay, and I was shot while lying down.

When the other nobles heard this, they immediately helped.

"Yes, yes, it's all your MI7's fault."

"You didn't deal with the last attack on the king, and now that there is such a mess, I really doubt that there is still a need to keep this department."

"Your Excellency Shore, you must give us an explanation, you must bear a part of our family's losses for us!"

Shore laughed angrily, "Since you are so worried about the safety of your family, why don't I ask MI7 agents to go to your home to investigate carefully to make sure that nothing like this happens again." ”

As soon as these words came out, several nobles were speechless, everyone knew each other very well, who didn't have any black material, if something was turned out by the agents, it would not be a matter of losing some wealth.

In the end, it was Katrana who spoke, "I don't think there is any need for this, do your duty, it is your main responsibility to find the rose thief as soon as possible, as for the security of the upper city, I will privately recruit a group of elite thieves to protect the safety of the upper city." ”

Shore's face immediately became serious, "The security of Stormwind City should not be managed by outsiders who don't know its origin. ”

Katrana smiled, "I don't think that's something you need to think about, finding the thief as soon as possible, and finding out the king's whereabouts is what you have to do, you say yes, Berval." ”

Boval nodded, "Katrana's point makes sense, I think Stormwind's security efforts should indeed be strengthened. ”

Shore's face turned blue for a while, he knew that arguing with this gang was a waste of time, these nobles were completely unanimous, even Bovar was fascinated by Katrana, and he couldn't count on it at all, he bowed his head and saluted, "Then please let me quit first." ”

Leaving the Storm Fortress, Shore took a deep breath of the cold air of the night, the night scene of Stormwind City is very beautiful, but under this prosperity, there is a trace of haze hidden, the king's disappearance is definitely not an accident, he can feel that there must be some conspiracy.

When he returned to MI7, he found someone already waiting, his adjutant Osbur, and a young female agent.

Osber: "Sir, this agent wants to see you and say something very important. ”

"You are?"

"Lord Shore, I'm Agent Gilney of Little Thumb, and I have important information to report to you."

MI7 agents are classified by five fingers as a code name, with the little finger being the lowest level of ordinary agents.

Shore was a little strange, he didn't usually ask about the things of the little thumb, but he still nodded, "Let's go in and talk about it." ”

Five minutes later, Shore listened to Gilney's debriefing.

He frowned, so there's a mysterious thief who wants to meet me? This person is so strong, is he the Rose Thief? It is impossible for such a powerful thief to appear two at once, and he said that he knew the whereabouts of 'that man', did he mean His Majesty?

This incident was full of weirdness, which made him immediately interested, and he would rather go to the meeting with the mysterious thief for a while than intrigue with those nobles in Stormwind.

"I see, you're doing a great job."

"Sir, are you really going to meet him? That man was very dangerous, and I thought it would be better to take the Assassins with him. ”

Shore smiled slightly, "There's no need, the other party asked me to meet in Stormwind City, there shouldn't be any malice, besides- I'm also very dangerous." ”

He is very confident in his own strength, the opponent may be strong, maybe he is not the opponent of the mysterious thief, but if he wants to go, no one can keep him.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, he partially adopted Gilney's opinion.

"Arrange for a group of Assassins to be stationed nearby, and I'll send you a signal if you need to fight, and by the way, you can come with you as well - Gilney, the ring finger."

Gilney was excited, is she promoted?

"It's sir!"
