I, the Lord of the End

Chapter 59, Secret Meeting

The torrential rain brought great inconvenience to Sid's mission. As a former mercenary intermediary, Sid naturally understood the power of the sleet. If it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to come out to do this mission.

The cold, clammy air seeped into Sid's clothes along the hood of his cloak, and the white-haired boy ran wildly in the heavy rain alone.

The torrential rain was harmful, but it was also beneficial. The pouring raindrops made the entire Wolf Castle fall into a deep sleep. There were almost no pedestrians on the road. Sid could calmly shuttle through the market and residential areas without anyone noticing him.

Sid reviewed the main points of this mission in his mind.

The target of this operation is the Wilken Hotel. According to a reliable source from Celesty, one of the parties involved in the Battle of Friedland, the Earl of Orlando, who is in charge of logistics and gathering the army in the rear, wants to talk to a Mysterious people meet.

Celeste suspects that this incident has something to do with the Battle of Friedland, and suspects that foreign forces are colluding with the insiders of the empire.

Sid's task is to eavesdrop on their conversation and report it to Her Royal Highness in its entirety.

In terms of the mission Sid took over, it's not too difficult, it's just eavesdropping, no assassination is required, the only thing worthy of attention is that Earl Orlando is a hero-level warrior advanced professional revenge iron guard, even if he doesn't bring entourage, Sid also knew he had to be careful.

The Wilken Luxury Hotel is located on the edge of Wolfsburg. This is the junction of the cemetery area and the church area. There is less traffic, and there are not many people in heavy rain. Although the luxury hotel configuration of Wolfsburg is also very general, unique Gray walls and gray bricks, Gothic architectural style, the hotel with a huge sign hanging at the door is three stories high, with more than a dozen rooms, brewery, storage room, private room, public lounge, Datong shop, single and double rooms, luxury suites And king suites are all available.

The Werewolf once had a famous joke.

"I want a hot dog."

"Here." A sausage was thrown on the bar counter.

"Where's the bread?"

"Oh, so you asked for a deluxe hot dog? I suggest you just order a king dog, so you'll even have the salad dressing."

This sums up the difference between a room, a deluxe room and a king suite.

The Falcon's Eyes opened, and Sid's gaze immediately found a feasible path. He charged quickly in the heavy rain to avoid the two guards at the hotel entrance, and stepped on a solid brick with two legs along the side of the gun. Wall, put his hands under the window sill, and jumped up to the third floor of the hotel after several consecutive jumps. He held the railing with both hands and carefully watched the movement on the roof.

At this time, he had already entered the warning area. Sid exhaled lightly, grabbed the railing and turned over lightly, and jumped onto the third-floor rooftop of the hotel.

There are a lot of empty shelves here, usually it should be used for drying clothes, towels and sheets, but now that it is raining heavily, there is nothing there.

The wooden door of the roof was locked, but it didn't bother Sid. He easily found a window that wasn't closed tightly nearby, turned over and escaped into the single room on the second floor.

Eye of the storm!

The water essence surrounding Sid sucked the water from his cloak, hood and boots.

The humidity is just right, even if a servant finds water stains in the room, he will think it is rainwater from outside the window.

There is nothing in the single room except a bed, a hanger and a cabinet, not even a chair.

The experienced Sid checked his equipment again in the room.

The Swift Sword as the main weapon, the Hidden Blade and the armband as the secondary weapons, the dagger at the waist, and a short-fired gun on the back.

After confirming that all weapons were ready, Sid left the single room.

The shadow and mist spread along the walls of the hotel, and no one noticed it. At this moment, both the staff and the guests in the hotel gathered in the common room on the first floor to warm up and drink. This heavy rain is destined to cause nothing new. guest.

The atmosphere in the common room was hot, and no one noticed that there was one more person in the lounge, and they were chatting.

"The weather is terrible." The person who spoke was an imperial soldier. Judging from his clothes, he should at least be a corporal: "I said a long time ago that this is an incorrect war at the incorrect time and at the incorrect location."

"Come on, Mr. Coulter, you always say that, but if you really want to hear that there is a war, don't you scream excitedly." A very young male servant waved the towel in his hand, With a bit of irony, he shouted: "Every time you come to our store on vacation, you just drink and fall asleep. We are so envious of your life, which does not include wars."

Kurt glanced at the soldier and said threateningly: "Boy, do you know what you can say and what you can't say? Do you know that if there is no war, then naturally we don't need soldiers, and I will lose my job , what will happen next, can you think about it?"

"It's best not to have a war." The male servant made a grimace, very lively: "Also, although it shouldn't be said like this, but since that incident happened, our work has been much more leisurely, which is great."

"Stupid boy, you are free now. Do you know that if there are no customers for a long time, the hotel will close down and you will lose your job?" She shrank her head, but still insisted: "Isn't this still closed?"

"Hahahahahaha~" bursts of laughter came from the lounge.

Sid also laughed along with them. After living in the wolf for more than ten years, he understood the thoughts of these common people very well, and he could even recite them backwards.

Devils are fictitious, Worshipers are fictitious, Boundary Breakers are some lunatics' imaginings, and they don't exist at all. Even elves and dwarves may be fictional, because evil wolves rarely see elves and dwarves here. The elf merchant station is a rich area, and the poor are ordered not to approach it without reason, and many people have no chance to really see the elves.

Orcs are an existential danger, but they're not smart enough to kill them easily.

As for the remnants of the Dragon God, that is real, because in the official grand narrative of the Holy Empire, any history starts from the end of the Dragon God era, but the remnants of the Dragon God are obviously weak and undisciplined as the loser , Naturally, there is no need for them to be afraid.

The werewolves think that the biggest threat that the wolves are going to face is humans themselves. The bull people next door are domineering and cruel. The raven people in the north are cunning and chatty. The nomads in the east are naturally sworn enemies. They must not be let enter the house,

Of course, only we werewolves are the superior race.

The fiery atmosphere lasted until noon, and the crowd gradually dispersed because they were about to take a lunch break. Sid pretended to be a new guest and ordered some food, hiding in the corner of the lobby on the first floor, waiting for the arrival of the Earl of Orlando.

With the greasy fir tabletop, the greasy Black Forest sausage, the greasy tablecloth and the sound of heavy rain outside, Sid let himself immerse himself, restraining all his breath, gradually, he disappeared from people's sight.

This is the passive ability of the shadow of the mountain - the thinning of the sense of existence.

While eating, Sid was thinking whether it was right or wrong for him to choose to help the princess this time.

After this period of contact, Sid discovered a problem.

This queen is really a little immature.

Of course, Sid is not saying that she is not strong enough, but that she is a little weak in other aspects, such as planning and analysis. For example, her acting skills are not very good. What Sid said is actually very simple. As long as you analyze Celeste carefully, there is no reason why you can't analyze it.

Sid will not laugh too much at the poor level of the princess. From his contact with the princess, we can know that although the 17-year-old Celeste has always enjoyed the top treatment, she is in a state of being completely freed, and since she came to After this, whether it was the people around her, the locals of the evil wolf, or the religious forces, they all deliberately directed the whole thing towards foreign forces. After all, this was her first mission, and the praise and guidance of the people around her made her A little sloppy.

Furthermore, there is a very fatal problem, that is, Celeste has almost no cards in her hand. This time the old emperor asked her to come out to do business, but she didn't even let her take a private person, and she was at this national level when she came up. Not only did she not have any political resources and no secret order dictated by the emperor, but even her subordinates did not listen to her.

If there weren't any rumors, Sid sometimes wondered if Celeste was the emperor's daughter.

How can a father cheat his daughter like this?

It can even be further speculated: Did the emperor deliberately let his daughter take this job?
Sid didn't know.

He knew that he should be thankful, if it wasn't for the princess and his desire for privacy had reached the extreme, he would never have had the opportunity to enter Celesty's sight and gain her favor, so that he, who is the enemy of the world, finally got a sanctuary.

Celeste should also be very distressed, right?She only has two cards in her hand back and forth, one is the identity of the imperial daughter, and the other is her beauty, which she knows very well.

The card of Imperial Princess can only make Sid succumb but cannot get his sincere allegiance. After repeated testing and confirmation, Celestia played the second card, her beauty.

Sid's comment on this is: The princess at this time is still highly immature in politics and looks very immature. In the future, she will definitely regret her hasty decision now. If she really has a practical relationship with her later Well, if not, she would definitely kill this black history herself.

It is easy to share wealth and honor with ordinary people, but it is difficult to share adversity with the king.

This is a bad woman who is very motivated and good at learning. She learns things very quickly, and the current state will not last long.

How to deal with the aftermath is also a question, I don't really want to marry, right?
As for the point of selling the princess to obtain the artifact or simply getting it directly, Sid never even thought about it. After all, he took the princess's money, and he was treated and protected by the queen. Naturally, he wanted to help her. The basic spirit of contract is still have to.

After waiting quietly for two hours, today's mission goal finally appeared.

The Earl of Orlando appeared in the Wilken Hotel with his favorite grandson, Baron Stefan!

It's strange, why are there two people, why is this bastard Stefan here?
Sid didn't dare to say anything, he immediately launched the shadow under the mountain, and followed Earl Orlando and Baron Stefan into the private room.

The private room was small, with a bar counter and four sofa chairs. Sid followed the shadow of the mountain and hid beside the wine cabinet behind the bar counter, curling up his body into a ball.

Before he could hide, the sound of arguing had already reached his ears.

The Earl of Orlando is already very old. His gray hair is not because of his blood, but because of his old age. According to Celeste, he will retire in a few years, and his face with big Chinese characters is full of wrinkles. , a pair of small eyes cloudy.

"The sergeant major's daughter?" The earl's old voice was incoherent: "How dare you?!"

"Grandpa, I don't know, I really don't know, listen to me." Baron Stefan looked aggrieved: "I saw her waiting for a car near a friend's estate, she was very beautiful and dressed fancy and not With her hair up, I thought she was the daughter of some housekeeper or the head of the village."

"So you played the image of a heroic gentleman and asked her if she wanted a ride, and then took her to your house to do it?" Orlando roared, and Sid felt the ceiling shake.

"I don't know, Grandpa, I really don't know, I don't know her, I thought..."

"You thought you thought, you thought it was in our own manor?" Earl Orlando was furious: "The sergeant major found his daughter missing and looked for it everywhere, but it turned out to be at your house. You are really crazy, Stefan, you Shame on our entire family!"

"I didn't know it was his daughter, if I knew..."

"Enough! I don't want to hear your explanation!"

"Grandpa, grandpa, I didn't know it was his daughter, if I knew I swear I would never do something like that, grandpa, please help me, help your grandson, she's just a sergeant major Daughter, but I'm your own grandson, you don't want to see me exiled to the border, do you?" Baron Stefan's voice turned into pleading.

The Earl of Orlando stopped talking, and only Stefan's pleading voice was heard in the room: "Forgive your grandson for being a little bit capricious, I really don't know."

After more than a minute of silence and more than a minute of pleading, Earl Orlando said in a muffled voice:
"Grandpa has already dealt with the aftermath of this matter for you. I will transfer him to the Blood Cliff on the east side of Booker. From then on, his military career will continue in the isolated mountain castle, and there may be some The friendly orcs and nomads helped me and helped me solve this problem. As for the compensation, I had someone prepare 200 gold egus to seal it up, and then arrange a similar officer to marry Booker's daughter. .”

"You should also be careful recently. Our Royal Highness is in Wolf Castle. Grandpa helped you suppress this matter. Don't let her know. If you let her know, Grandpa can't keep you!"

"Thank you grandpa, thank you grandpa." Baron Stefan was very excited, and his tone immediately relaxed: "Grandpa is the best!"

"Hmph~ brat, now you know about grandpa, right?" Earl Orlando also cursed with a smile.

This grandson... Sid, who was hiding behind the bar, suppressed the hatred in his heart.

A little willfulness, isn't it?

"Is there no news from Grandpa about Her Royal Highness?" Baron Stefan brought up the old story again.

"Yes, that little boy doesn't know what ecstasy soup he gave our Royal Highness. She just doesn't need a new attendant. Grandpa has already asked four times. Stefan, you have to find a way yourself, don't always count on it. I."

"I figured out a way."

The time for invisibility was almost up, and Sid dispelled the invisibility of the shadow under the mountain, and hid his body behind the chairs and wine cabinet under the bar, waiting quietly.

After more than half an hour, someone came.

muffled talk.

"I won't cooperate with you, you don't want me to succumb." Orlando said heavily and tiredly.

"It's not that I want to cooperate with you, it's that you are about to face disaster, my count." The voice of the visitor was distorted, sounding like a middle-aged man: "Have you seen the current situation clearly, she is not going to let go Past you...and me."

"You are you, we are us."

"Yes, but some people don't care if it's you or us, do you understand? She has no intention of stopping at all."

"I have a clear conscience."

"Everyone has a clear conscience, the problem is that the lid has been opened."

"Then let her check!"

"Really, are you sure, my count, I want to tell you that some things have no weight at all unless they are on the scale, but once they are on the scale, a hanging can't stop, your whole family, and you, the dearest Dear grandson, think again?"

"……Then what should I do?"

"What to do? Just do what you did five years ago."

five years ago? !Sid's pupils dilated instantly, couldn't it be himself...

"Etc., etc?"

"Wait! Damn, there are other people in the house!"
