Chapter 498 Thomas

That's right, Anthony brought people here for dinner!
The Elf King's pointed ears trembled slightly, his brows furrowed imperceptibly, and then relaxed.

He could feel that the moment he and others entered the restaurant, the atmosphere in the lively lobby suddenly stagnated, and then quickly returned to normal.

If you consider everyone in the lobby as a whole, it seems that for a moment just now, this "person" held his breath because of the high tension.

But the Elven King didn't care, and didn't even say anything to Anthony or his companions.

He was active in the hinterland of the Holy Empire, and now he has come to one of the strategic cities. I am afraid that he and others have been under surveillance for a long time.

This restaurant seems to be noisy and messy, but in reality there should be quite a few "diners", whose purpose is not to eat here at all.

But so what, by Anthony's side, others are at most monitoring and snooping, and they dare not make any extra moves.It is enough for the Elf King to come with his eyes and ears, and Anthony will handle the rest, but he does not need to worry about it.

Everyone found a big table to sit down, called the restaurant staff, and ordered a few signature dishes here.

When the food and wine were served, everyone was polite and started eating directly.

As for whether there will be poison in the food and wine, there is no need to worry at all.

If the Holy Empire dares to do something, there will be many opportunities to do it along the way.Putting poison in the food and drinks is such a small trick that can't be put on the table, there is no need to show it to embarrassment.

There are more than a dozen or twenty square tables in the lobby, and although they are not completely full, they are [-] to [-]% full.At least ten of them seem to be eating happily. In fact, their attention has been on Anthony and the others. They probably don't know what they are chewing.

In addition, some liners who were not specially arranged showed suspicion on their faces, and raised their heads from time to time to look at Anthony's table.

The world's number one master, the legend of the mainland, etc. are well-known all over the world, but not many people have seen Anthony's appearance.But in the Holy Empire, there are far more people who have seen his portrait than other countries in the mainland.

Those diners who don't know how to hide themselves are obviously very curious about this young man who "resembles" the sworn enemy of their own country.

In the corner of the lobby, there was a smaller round table with a middle-aged man with a beard sitting beside it.

His complexion looked bad, and his appearance looked like he hadn't taken care of it for many days.At this time, I am drinking by myself, melancholy, and I don't care about the outside world.

The middle-aged man was named Thomas, and he was a minor bishop of the Holy See in Munich, responsible for the purchase and inspection of magic crystals by the Holy See.

The entire Holy See of Light consumes a huge amount of magic crystals every day, and the supply of these magic crystals is checked by purchasing personnel like Thomas.

Although he said that he had inspected the magic crystal and sent it up without any problems, there were still higher-level big shots who inspected it layer by layer.But generally speaking, they just put on a show and don't really have much thought to check it carefully.

So in fact, the quality of the magic crystal is guaranteed by a small person like Thomas, which can be said to be a minor responsibility.

Thomas is careful and cautious, serious and responsible in his work. The magic crystals he has handled have never had any problems, and he has won the approval and trust of his superiors.

However, these praises and trusts seem to be useless.

Thomas thought.

It's just because the bishop is a little annoying recently.

Oh, no, it's a little troublesome.

Big trouble.

Thomas is conscientious at work, and after a tiring day, he always looks for something to relax and unwind.

So, when the somewhat lecherous bishop was looking for "prey" in the city of Munich recently, he met a passionate girl.

Both men and women had love and concubine intentions, and they worked hard, and soon developed their friendship into bed.

The contented Thomas was happy for a few days, and by chance, he suddenly learned that the girl was someone else's mistress.

A mistress is a mistress, Lord Thomas never thought of marrying such a courtesan back home.Everyone plays on every occasion, so they get together and leave, but there is no need to pay attention to their identity and background.

But after hearing the name of that "fellow friend", His Excellency the Bishop jumped off the bed and almost bumped his head against the corner of the wall.

The person who took care of this young girl as a mistress is actually a big shot!

He is one of the best nobles in Munich, and he is related to the emperor of the current Holy Empire, and he is a relative of the emperor!
Now, things are getting worse.

What was even more serious was that somehow the great nobleman knew of the existence of Thomas, the little bishop.

Isn't this life-threatening!
Although it is said that in the Holy Empire, the status of the Holy See of Light is above the imperial power, but it also depends on the magnitude.

The Pope can naturally treat the emperor as his son, and the cardinal can also make the city lord of Munich kneel down and act like a dog.But Thomas, a little bishop, how can he wrestle with a big noble who is related to the royal family?

The bishop begged his grandpa to sue his grandma for help, and finally found a way: the mistress who was favored by the great noble recently—it was another mistress—was willing to help, give him a few words of kindness in front of the noble, and resolve this crisis .

However, this help is of course not for nothing, and some favor fees have to be charged.

Thomas had spent a lot of money when he was relying on relationships before, but when he found the target, most of the flesh had been cut off.

This favored mistress is not an ordinary big appetite. Thomas thought that he would have to owe half his life in debt before he could satisfy her request.

Fortunately, the girl I hooked up with was just a former mistress of a great nobleman. If this one is in favor, she might sell herself ten or eight times, which may not be enough to pay off the debt.

Even if you were ready to owe debts, the bishop discovered that debts are not something you can owe if you want to.

I don't know who leaked the news during the process of entrusting the relationship.Everyone heard that he had offended the nobles, and they were afraid that they would be angered if they lent him money, so they all drew a line with Thomas.

With no money on him and no place to borrow it, Thomas is desperate, so he can only borrow wine to drown his worries here, and he can live a day.

His Excellency the Bishop reached out to pick up the jug, wanting to pour himself another glass of wine.Unexpectedly, after pouring for a long time, there was not a drop.

He was angry and felt that everything was not going well.He was about to raise his hand to throw away the flagon, but suddenly remembered his current situation, sighed, and gently put the flagon back on the table.

"Dude!"

Thomas yelled without looking back.

Strangely, he heard no response.

"Dude, another jug ​​of wine!"

This time he raised his voice, but the restaurant guy still didn't seem to hear it.

Just as he was about to turn his head, he suddenly felt that his eyes darkened, and a huge shadow enveloped him.

Then, the shadow moved away, and a young man sat next to him unceremoniously.
