Lord Highlander

   Chapter 609 598. Snow Night 2

  The carved wooden door of the guard camp hall in Bena City was pushed open from the outside.

  The cold wind carried snow flakes and blew into the hall, and the two guard battalion knights who were on duty in the hall quickly stood up from the corner of the stove, squinting their eyes and looking at the door of the hall.

Fengxue stood at a witcher wearing worn leather armor. He had a long dagger hanging from his waist and a hunting bow on his back. He strode into the hall from the outside, and the snow on his legs was almost frozen. Scabs formed thick, he stomped **** the floor, the snow fell on the floor.

  The cold wind blows away the last bit of warm breath in the hall. Even if there is a fire in the fireplace, there is still no warmth.

  There are five knights who are on duty at night in the hall of the guard camp, and three of them are sleeping on a temporary wooden bed behind the bar. They are responsible for guarding the second half of the night.

  Two guard battalion knights stood up and asked the demon hunter at the door, "What happened?"

   "I found a black mage in the hotel..." Cagle Coward closed the wooden door casually, and said to the two guard battalion knights.

  The two guard battalion knights glanced at each other, walked to the side of the demon hunter Cagle Coward, took out the sheepskin booklet and a quill, and began to understand the situation seriously, and sent Cagle Coward What Coward said was carefully recorded.

  The other three guard battalion knights came out slowly from behind the bar. The knight captain came over with a sleepy face and asked the knight on duty: "What's the matter?"

   "This gentleman said that he found a trace of a black magician at the Wailou Hotel." The knight on duty reported to the knight captain.

  The knight captain frowned, looked at Cagel Coward seriously for a long time, and then asked slowly: "What's your name?"

   "Kagel Coward, sir," he said.

   "Are you a hunter?" The knight captain glanced at the hunting bow on his back and asked.

   "Yes, sir!" Cagle Coward puffed up his chest and said.

  The captain of the Cavaliers nodded slightly, and said to Cagle Coward: "Wait a minute, I need to report this matter to my superiors."

   Cagle Coward glanced at the dark window, and lowered his head in disappointment.

  The Cavalier Captain walked towards the second floor, and the sound of leather shoes trampling on the floor gradually disappeared.

The two guard battalion knights who came out from behind wore leather armor and complained to Cagle Coward: "Actually, you should have come earlier. At this time, it will be very difficult to catch, especially if the opponent is a magician." division."

  The two guard battalion knights who were on duty at night also came over at this time, one of them walked to the door, pushed open the wooden door and took a look outside.

  Cold wind and snowflakes poured into the room, and the knight quickly closed the door.

  …

  Benna Guard Camp, every night there will be a brigade captain staying late into the night.

The person on duty at the headquarters of the guard battalion tonight happened to be Viscount Dan Kincaid, the captain of the second brigade. This viscount was originally ranked sixteenth among the nineteen captains of the guard battalion in Bena City, but Because of his outstanding performance in the Maca plane, he was appreciated by Glenn, the head of the Bena City Guard Battalion, so he has also attracted attention in the Guard Battalion recently.

  The knight captain stood outside the office on the second floor and knocked on the door. When he heard someone answer in the room, he opened the door and walked in.

  The lighting in the room is very soft, and a construction knight sits at the desk with his head down reviewing documents.

  The knight captain took three steps forward, stood up straight and said:

   "Lord Viscount Kincaid, a hunter reported that he found a black magician in the Ring Hotel."

   Viscount Kincaid frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "Shouldn't the investigation of black mages be reported to the Law Enforcement Team of the Magic Union? When did dealing with these black mages become a matter for the security camp?"

He was on duty at the headquarters of the guard camp tonight. He originally thought that if nothing happened in a while, he would drive back to the temporary residence next to the guard camp. His fifth wife was waiting there tonight. Looking at the snow scene, drinking some wine with the young wife, and having a deeper communication, but now it seems that these plans are all in vain.

   Viscount Kincaid leaned back a little displeased.

  After nightfall, the temperature in the room dropped rapidly, and the hand holding the pen became a little stiff unconsciously, so he rubbed his hands vigorously.

  The captain of the Cavaliers did not answer, what can he say?

   Viscount Kincaid glanced at the knight captain in front of him, and asked again, "Where is the messenger?"

   "It's just downstairs." The knight captain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied hastily.

   Viscount Kincaid stood up, put on a thick leather coat, put on gloves, and said to the knight captain: "Go, meet me!"

Viscount Kincaid walked out of the office, followed by a team of personal guards from the next room. These were originally a knight squad belonging to Viscount Kincaid. After Viscount Kincaid was promoted to the captain of the second brigade of the guard battalion, they A group of knights became Viscount Kincaid's personal guards.

  Although these personal guards did not wear expensive magic-weave outfits, they more or less had one or two magic-weave outfits on them, and they were equipped with excellent weapons. The equipment of these knights made the knight captain a little envious.

   A group of people came down from the second floor. Viscount Kincaid walked in the front. He saw Cagle Coward standing in the hall at a glance.

   "Where is that black mage?" Viscount Kincaid stood at the stairs and couldn't help asking.

   "In the room on the third floor in the north area of ​​the Wailou Hotel." Cagle Coward replied immediately, trying to keep his body upright.

   Walking down the stairs was a knight dressed in magic pattern, and the gold sword and shield badge on his chest showed that his status was very high in the guard camp.

   Viscount Kincaid looked at Kagel Coward seriously, and then ordered to the knight captain beside him:

   "Let's check the authenticity of this matter now. If it is really a black magician, try to notify the Magic Union Law Enforcement Team. Our guard battalion should not intervene easily!"

  The Cavalier Captain immediately replied: "Yes, Captain."

  Viscount Kincaid asked again: "Have you figured out the specific route?"

  The captain of the knight replied: "He just said that he is willing to lead the way. It is estimated that it will be very difficult to catch this kind of snowy night."

  Kinkaid walked to the window, glanced at the dark night and the snowstorm through the window, turned to the Cavaliers Captain and asked, "Which squadron is on duty today? Notify me, everyone is ready for action..."

  The captain of the knight immediately stood up straight and agreed: "Yes, Lord Viscount!"

  A moment later, the gate of the guard camp was pushed open by the guards. Viscount Kincaid led a group of knights from the guard camp on horseback and walked down the long street facing the howling wind and snow.

  On the streets on a snowy night, the road has been completely covered by heavy snow, and even the night watchmen can't see the empty streets.

  The street lamps on the street emitted a faint light, and a group of guard battalion knights galloped past the lamps.

  …

   A team of guard battalion knights followed the demon hunter Kagel. Coward rushed into the Wailou Hotel, and the sound of horseshoes was covered by the wind and snow.

  The person in charge of the Wailou Hotel came out from the warm lobby, with a smile on his face, and asked a group of knights in the guard camp: "Master knights... Is there anything I can do for you?"

  Viscount Kincaid, surrounded by a group of guard battalion knights, rode to the front on horseback.

  The hotel manager saw the badge on Viscount Kincaid's chest, and immediately lowered his posture, and said quickly, "Master Viscount, what do you need?"

"Take me to the north area of ​​the hotel. Our informant provided clues and found the whereabouts of the black magician in the north area of ​​the hotel. We need to conduct a routine search!" Kincaid said to the hotel manager with a straight face. Said, without even looking him in the eye.

  The hotel manager was slightly taken aback, and hurried to the front of the horse.

  Viscount Kincaid got off his horse, held a saber in one hand, and walked into the hotel. A group of personal guards followed him at every step.

  The hotel manager quickly followed and explained to Viscount Kincaid:

"Master Viscount, the north area of ​​our hotel belongs to the noble accommodation area. The north building is divided into four floors. Except for a small number of guards on the first floor, there are noble accommodation on the second, third, and fourth floors... Which floor do you want to start from?" Check it out, our registration book has the signatures of noble lords."

   As he spoke, he waved to the waiter in front of the bar, motioning for him to bring the register.

   "Is the North District an exclusive area for nobles?" Viscount Kincaid was also slightly startled, and stopped to ask the hotel manager.

  The hotel manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said hastily: "That's right, the identities of all the nobles have been verified."

   "Take me to see..." Viscount Kincaid said.

  The hotel manager hurriedly led the way, and a group of people passed through the corridor of the inner courtyard and headed straight for the North District.

Dozens of carriages were parked in the courtyard of the Wailou Hotel. Although most of the carriages were covered with a thick layer of snow, Viscount Kincaid still saw from those gorgeous magic caravans that the hotel manager should not lie, he should Some nobles live in this hotel.

   Viscount Kincaid took the guard battalion knights to the downstairs of the north area of ​​the hotel.

The hotel manager glared at Cagel Coward angrily, wishing he could strangle him to death on the spot, what a troublesome guy, why didn't he freeze to death in the corridor of the inner court these days, and brought back a group of guard camp knights to search the north area of ​​the hotel , no matter whether the search has any results or not, the impact of this search on the Wailou Hotel will be very large.

  Those travelers choose Wailou Hotel because of several factors: the hardware facilities of the hotel, the service of the hotel itself and the favorable price.

  A hotel that is full of troubles will never be accepted by the nobles. The hotel manager feels that his head has grown several times in an instant.

   "Which floor is the black mage you're following?" Viscount Kincaid turned his head and asked the demon hunter Cagle Coward.

   "The third floor!" Cagle Coward said firmly.

  At this moment, the hotel manager walked half a step slower, taking the opportunity of picking up the register, he gave the waiter a wink, and the waiter retreated knowingly, and secretly communicated with other waiters in the hotel quietly.

  Viscount Kincaid took a deep look at Cagle Coward, and he waved to a group of guard battalion knights behind him, signaling everyone to stay downstairs.

   With only a five-member guard knight squad, they climbed the stairs under the leadership of the hotel manager.
