Lord Highlander

   Chapter 547 536. Night Party

  The "Warriors and Roses" adventure group composed of thirteen young nobles became famous overnight, and the entire city of Bena was talking about what happened last night.

  A large number of guard battalion knights once again gathered in the old noble quarters to launch a carpet search, trying to find some clues.

  According to the analysis of the magicians of the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team, the magician who snatched the crystal key last night should be a member of the Dark Moon Gate, so this time the Bena City Magic Union also dispatched a large number of magicians to investigate this matter.

  The young magician Jimmy was sitting in the investigation room of the Bena City Guard Camp. He was holding a cup of tea in his hand, and the tea was slowly swirling in the cup. Jimmy raised his head impatiently and glanced at the knight in front of him.

  Beside him were the sword and shield warrior Luke and several other male members of the adventure group.

As for those aristocratic ladies who have already returned to Bena Swordsman Academy, the guard camp is not the place they should come to. It will affect their reputation. Considering their aristocratic status, the investigation of them will not be in the The guard battalion is here.

Opposite him sat two great knights of the guard battalion, one of whom was Captain Klaus of the third brigade of the Bena City Guard Battalion, and the other beside him was Captain Klaus' assistant Garland Knight. Beside him were the magicians from the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team, and they carefully recorded what Jimmy said...

  Jimmy has already repeated what happened last night five times. He moved his **** on the chair a little impatiently, and then glanced at the two magicians next to him.

   It's just that the two magicians from the Bena Magic Union are not familiar with Jimmy. They participated in the investigation of the guard camp as observers and did not have the right to interrogate.

"When I noticed the magic crystal, it was because of the fluctuation of mana on that wall. As a magician, I could sense the fluctuation of magic elements in the surrounding environment. At that time, everyone was still looking for clues in the showroom. . . . " Jimmy said.

  After tossing and tossing all night, his head was a little groggy, and he really wanted to go home, take a comfortable hot bath, lie on the big soft bed and have a good sleep.

  He slandered in his heart: This group of useless guard battalion knights did not go to arrest the magician, but instead questioned themselves repeatedly, as if they were interrogating a prisoner. This feeling is really bad.

Jimmy said: "I understand the specific steps of setting magic gems, and I know that as long as I find a specific point in the groove of the gem, I can pry the magic crystal out of the groove, but I didn't realize it at the time. When the dagger was inserted, The magic crystal actually split in two."

Grand Knight Klaus stared at the young nobleman with dark circles with sharp eyes. He was not interested in this kind of noble dude. Although there were two magicians sitting beside him, he still asked unceremoniously: "Are you Said that the crystal key was broken when it was in your hand?"

  If it wasn't for sitting in the investigation room of the Bena City Guard Camp, Jimmy would have stood up and pointed at the bridge of the big knight's nose in front of him, and yelled at him.

  But it is impossible for him to do so now, after all, it is on other people's territory, so he can only reply patiently: "If that piece of magic crystal is really the crystal key, I'm sure it was split in two."

"At that time... no one thought that the magic crystal might be the crystal key. Oh, we also guessed this possibility at the time, but no one thought about it." Jimmy kept telling himself to be patient, Such a big thing happened, as long as I made a mistake in saying one sentence, it is very likely that this matter will be very unfavorable to me.

The behavior of this group of hateful guard battalion knights is like interrogating prisoners. They don't regard them as heroes who have found clues at all. It didn't work either.

   "...Caught off guard, a fireball exploded in our crowd. By the time I realized it, the magic crystal had already been snatched away!"

  Jimmy continued impatiently.

   His voice became hoarse, he took a sip of tea...

  In fact, this matter was already spread last night.

And it immediately caused an uproar in Bena City. The crystal key that had been looking for for many days was hidden in the showroom of Bradbury Manor. The most likely reason is that the group of rebels who looted the manor did not take it away A crystal key, the knights of the guard battalion and the magicians of the law enforcement group didn't know anything about it.

   It can be seen how perfunctory their investigations have been for many days, it is simply the biggest joke of this year:

  'The lost property has always been in the same place. The guard camp knights and law enforcement team magicians of the entire Bena city were dispatched, and even searched for the whereabouts of the crystal key in the entire Bena province. '

  ‘Perhaps that crystal key is a bit home-loving, and ran back from the outside with long legs...’

  No matter what kind of explanation, it can become the most bizarre talk.

  The guard camp was under considerable pressure to bring these young nobles with various family backgrounds to the guard camp for detailed investigation.

   It is precisely because of this that no matter how much the great knight Klaus repeatedly questioned Jimmy, the two magicians next to him kept silent, and they were also simmering with anger:

  This matter is really a bit useless!

  …

  When Suldak returned to Bradbury Manor last night, the manor was already in a mess.

   I didn't expect this incident to cause such a big commotion.

  He took advantage of the chaos and walked out from the corner of the closet in the showroom. There was no one in the showroom.

   When he walked out of the mansion, he found that the outside of the manor was full of knights from the Bena Guard Battalion.

He unhurriedly put on a guard battalion-style cloak for himself, and wore a guard battalion knight badge on his chest. He walked naturally and casually, and even nodded smilingly at the guard battalion knight coming from the opposite side. , and then left Bradbury Manor unimpeded all the way, and no one stepped forward to question him the whole time.

  He returned to the hotel, drew the curtains, and slept until the light came on.

  In just one day, news spread that the Crystal Key had mysteriously appeared at Bradbury Manor.

He didn't expect this incident to become such a big deal. He only hoped that this incident would spread in a small area, and he only hoped that it could divert the attention of the group of magicians from the Dark Moon Gate, and stop staring at Wall Village all the time. , but now... it seems that I really can't explain it clearly.

  The magicians of Dark Moon Gate knew that Magician Golden had obtained this crystal key, and now this crystal key appeared in Bena City again, and the news spread quickly.

  Although the magicians of the Dark Moon Gate will not spread this matter around, and even if they tell it, not many people will believe it, they will definitely continue to investigate this matter.

   Magician Golden died in Wall Village. It seems that I really can't stand any investigation.

Suldak scratched his head in pain, thinking seriously about how to shut up those magicians at the Dark Moon Gate. Hand over the crystal.

   ‘Tuk Tuk Tuk’

   There was a knock on the door, and Surdak jumped out of bed vigilantly. He quickly walked to the table, grabbed the blood red crescent, and walked to the door.

  Opening the door, the hotel waiter stood outside the door with a smile on his face.

   "Baron Suldak, here is your reply!"

  The waiter looked at Surdak expectantly, with a smile on his face.

  Suldak finally realized that the waiter was ready to accept his tip.

It's just that I was a little nervous just now, and I didn't prepare the tip in advance. Not only that, but I was holding a saber in my hand. No wonder the waiter's smile only lasted for 2 seconds, and then became a little stiff. Surdak returned to the room , took out a few copper coins from the purse hanging on the hanger in the bedroom and stuffed them into the hands of the waiter.

   "Thank you for your generosity..."

  When the waiter said this, his smile looked exaggerated.

  Suldak ignored it and closed the door. He cut open the envelope with a peeling knife, pulled out the letter paper inside, and found that it was a reply letter written by Marquis Luther himself.

  Marquis Luther did not expect Suldak to arrive in Bena City so soon. He bluntly said that he admired Suldak, a young nobleman who was very efficient in his work.

  He plans to invite Surdak to have dinner at home this Saturday, and it is said that there will be a small dance after the dinner.

  Suldak didn't have much resistance to Marquis Luther's solicitation. After all, it was Marquis Luther's recommendation that he could become a noble baron.

  …

After waiting until night, there was no news from Hathaway and Beatrice. Suldak thought that maybe they were being watched too closely by the family, and the letter he wrote probably failed to reach them. In the hands of others, or they saw the letter, but they just haven't had time to reply.

  Suldak was going to eat something in the restaurant downstairs, and then went back to the room to continue meditating to see how to light up the dark stars in his body.

  As soon as he reached the door, he heard another hasty knock on the door, and Suldak opened the door casually.

Two noble ladies wearing lake-blue conical hats with flowers on their heads, black veils on their faces, and court dresses with dark flowers stood at the door. Behind them was a hotel waiter. They saw Surdak With a soft cry, he rushed forward quickly, and lifted the veil on his head, revealing the beautiful and moving face inside.

  Hathaway gave Suldak a big hug, followed by Beatrice in the same dress. Suldak took out a silver coin from his arms, threw it to the hotel waiter, and closed the door.

   "Knight Suldak, I didn't expect you to come directly from Hailansa. After reading your letter, I don't want to wait a moment, I just want to come to see you as soon as possible..."

The conical hat decorated with flowers on her head fell to the ground, and her long golden hair spread out like a waterfall behind her. Those emerald-like eyes looked at Suldak affectionately, and her eyes were full of Excitement and… enthusiasm.

Suldak put his hands around the girl's slender waist, feeling the energetic body that was tightly pressed against him. He could even see Hathaway's milky white face covered with a blush. She had a kind of Desperately, she closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly.

  Suldak swallowed the phrase "Actually, I came to Bena City to do some business, and I stopped by to see you" back into his stomach.

   "I heard that you were grounded, so how did you escape?" Suldak asked Hathaway with his hands on her round shoulders.

   Hathaway pursed her lips and looked back at Beatrice beside her.

   "Hey, did you just think of me now?" Beatrice, with a round face, complained standing beside Hathaway with a resentful expression.

  Hathaway's face became even redder, she quickly let go of Suldak, and stepped aside.

"Feel sorry!"

  Suldak stretched out his hands towards Beatrice.

Beatrice is much more generous than Hathaway. She hugged Suldak generously, kissed Suldak's cheek with her lips as soft as rose petals, and then tiptoed, Stretching his neck, he whispered in Surdak's ear:

   "We ran out secretly. We used a magic spar to bribe the guard guarding the tower, and sneaked out through the back door."

  The round-faced Beatrice had a sly smile in her eyes.

   "Will you provoke greater anger in the family?"

  Suldak asked in astonishment.

  The two of them are so courageous that they ran over so recklessly.

  Hathaway frowned and said, "I've been grounded and locked up in the tower. They won't do anything to me."

   "We sneaked out this time, we don't plan to go back, we plan to live with you in Hailansa City for a while..."

   Beatrice said softly beside her.

   "..."

  Suldak was speechless for a while.

  I didn't hide the fact of marriage from them. Even if they secretly fell in love with each other, wouldn't Hathaway really mind this?

I heard that many wealthy ladies have romantic feelings in their hearts. Maybe Hathaway is just impulsive, and he is not slow. Of course, he can feel Hathaway's hot feelings and know some of her thoughts and thoughts. He has always been on these matters. Shrinking and accepting passively.

   It's just that there are some things he wants to protect, and he doesn't want those things to become a mess.

   After all, the relationship between him and old Sheila has just eased, and some grudges in old Sheila's heart have just been eliminated.

   At this time, he didn't want to bring Hathaway back to Wall Village.

"I haven't enjoyed the beautiful night view of Bena City before. I don't know if I have the honor to spend such a beautiful night with the two ladies." Suldak avoided the topic of Beatrice and said to the two nobles said the lady.

   "Okay, I haven't come out for a long time to breathe, let's go to Victory Square..."

   Beatrice responded immediately.

   Hathaway has no objection to this.

She was still a little worried just now if the three of them really spent a night in the hotel room of Suldak, would she agree to Suldak's excessive demands? After all, the aristocratic education she received since she was a child has been subtle Tell her how an aristocratic lady should clean herself before marriage, etc...

  Don’t worry about these things now, it’s really a good idea to go to Bena City at night.
