From Reincarnated Maid Knight

Chapter 39
The King of Hell is good to see, but the little devil is difficult to deal with.

Orton, who has witnessed the corruption of the kingdom step by step, of course understands what the guards mean.

Orton calmly took out a bag of copper coins - this is the spoils of the captured robbers and stuffed them into the hands of the guards.

The guard twitched his wrist slightly, and a smile appeared on his face immediately. He didn't see how the purse disappeared, so he heard him say, "Wait a minute, everyone, I'll go inside and report."

Orton nodded, and Nita couldn't help complaining to Noelle. She had never encountered such a situation in the elf kingdom.

The Marquis Mansion study room had already been transformed into a command room on the Eastern Front.

The woman sitting on the main seat has long wine-red hair, and the tiredness on her face can hardly conceal her heroic appearance.

"We can't close the city now! At least let the kingdom keep up with the follow-up supplies, otherwise we won't be able to last long once we are surrounded by the Demon King's army." An aide shouted.

"Won't the city be closed?" Another person said: "The demon king's army may arrive outside the city at any time, and the group of monsters don't need to rest, they can attack the city directly! It is impossible to wait for the supply of food and grass. It is rainy on the eastern front, and the roads It is extremely muddy, and it is even more difficult to send supplies here."

"Alas~" Another person shook his head, "If it wasn't for the fact that the supplies were not delivered on time last time, our defense line would not have been repaired in time, and we would not have been torn apart by the Demon King's army and become the target of public criticism."

The woman was extremely irritable when she heard the quarrel among the staff. At this moment, the butler hurried to her side with the envelope.

"My lord, there is an adventurer at the door holding your entrustment letter to ask for an interview."

The woman glanced at the letter and shook her head secretly. When the battle situation got a little worse, she sent a letter, hoping that this powerful team of adventurers, who could wipe out the remnants of the Demon King's army, would escort her family away from the wrong place. While not in the capital, she had already entrusted another adventure team to send her family away while the letters were circulating.

"They came late, and the entrustment has been picked up by another team."

"Then I refuse them." The housekeeper didn't think about it, even if the Marquis broke the contract first, she didn't think it was a big deal.

The woman paused, and said: "This adventurer team is still strong. You explain the reason, make up the entrustment money, and let them leave."

The butler nodded and left immediately.

At the main entrance of the Marquis Mansion, after a while, the guard ran out in a hurry, the envelope in his hand disappeared, and the smile on his face became more sincere, "Everyone, please go to the living room to rest for a while, and someone will come to entertain you later."

When the guards led the way, Orton's hand sank, and the bag of copper coins came back by itself.When he looked at the guard again, there was a little more flattery on his face.

living room.

After the servant poured a few cups of tea, before Noelle and the others' chairs were warmed up, a tall woman walked out with an apologetic smile on her pretty face.

"Adventurers from the Lion Wolf Fang Squad, welcome to the Marquis's Mansion. I am the butler of the Marquis." The woman swept across the crowd, and before they could reply, she continued, "I'm very sorry, the battle on the front line is tight, Your Excellency the Marquis is anxious and has been waiting for you for a long time, so he has sent another team to send the family members away."

Noelle and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, only Sarina showed a confused and aggrieved look, which made the woman see through the little priest's mind at a glance.

"Master Marquis is busy with business, so I have to receive you instead." The woman took out a bag of gold coins from her bosom and quietly placed them on the small table beside Orton, "This is the reward entrusted this time, please accept it. "

Orton first looked at Nita, but saw Nita rolled her eyes in a very secretive manner, expressing that she would not interfere with how to do this, and then looked at Noelle. The girl's pretty face was expressionless, but she didn't look at Look this way.

Orton stood up and said, "It's our fault for moving too slowly, so this bounty is unnecessary."

"How can I do that," the woman said, "We broke the contract first, please accept it, and it is really our fault that you are still trapped in this east-front city, and I hope to make a difference between us." This cooperation has a good foundation."

In this way, the Lion Wolf Fang Team did not make any entrustment, but took the entrusted bounty from the Marquis's mansion.

After walking out of the Marquis's mansion, Nita sighed, and seemed to point out: "I feel that we have been dragging little Noelle back. Although there is a bounty this time, there is no entrustment record. It's a waste of money." Said it was a waste of time."

"Don't say that," Noelle waved his hand, "None of us thought this would be the case, did we?"

After a series of incidents, the little priest Selina looked tired. She glanced at the gloomy sky and whispered: "Then what should we do now? We can't get out of the city, go find that Mister Knight?"

"It's better not to bother others." Noelle said, "It's better to find a hotel in the city to rest for a while, and then go out to find out some news."

Nita clapped her hands, and was the first to support, "Okay, I'll listen to little Noelle! But next time, I will definitely not accept any entrusted missions related to the kingdom's nobles. Every one of their missions is quite tricky. "

Noelle saw that even the most stable Orton beside him was nodding, indicating that he was not feeling well.

A group of people walked on the desolate street, until they knocked on the door of the third hotel, and finally got a response.

The closed door slowly opened a small crack, and an old man with gray hair and stooped figure could be faintly seen through it.

"What's the matter with you?" The old man was extra vigilant.

Nita said speechlessly: "Isn't this a hotel? We must be staying here."

The old man glanced to the side, saw that among the four people, three were girls, and one of them was a priest, so he reluctantly relaxed, opened the door, and motioned for everyone to come in.

"Let's just say it first, you can live in the vacant rooms upstairs, and you don't charge any money, but you have to get everything yourself, and there is no food in the store, and no one will serve you." The old man closed the door. , walked towards the back room with his hands behind his back.

"Hey, boss." Nita stopped the old man, "Is there any water?"

"I'm not the boss," the old man corrected: "The boss has already taken people away. I'm old, and I'm just guarding the store here, and there's no water. I said, do everything on your own. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do." , don’t come if you have something to do!”

Just when the members of the Lion Wolf Fang team were at a loss for what to do by this eccentric old man, a piece of news about the riot at the city gate had already spread to the Marquis' mansion.

"Oh?" Hearing that someone killed the troll with a sword, the Marquis of Odzi lifted his spirits, and looked down at the knight who was kneeling on one knee to report the situation, "Unexpectedly, at this time, there will be such a powerful person arriving in the east. Wire."

This is one of the few good news these days.

"What does he look like? Where is he? Are there any arrangements?"

"My lord, the one who killed the troll with a single sword was an adventurer girl of white porcelain rank. Her identity was suspected to be fake. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She wore a gorgeous but weird half-length knight armor and used a mithril sword. Follow behind the two silver and other adventurers, respectively."

The knight replied one by one, but the housekeeper standing behind the marquis had a strange look on her face. Why did the more I listened to the knight's description, the more it resembled the face of the girl she had just seen?
