Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Waiting for your midnight

"The Golden Dog Caravan has never been to White Horse Town." Langley looked away from Dagon, squinting at the mashed potato steak on the table. She said in a calmer and more persuasive tone: "If the caravan came to town, I'm the sheriff, and I'd definitely know."

"Didn't come this way? That golden dog Chamber of Commerce is really cunning." Dagon rubbed his stomach, moved the plate in front of him, and picked up a knife and fork in both hands. "I was hungry, so I started to eat. That who...Merlin, right? You eat too. And Langley."

"I...wait for a while to eat." Langley bites Biting his lip, he leaned forward. A light scent of jasmine mixed with alcohol drifted into Dagon's nose. "Are you sure it's the Golden Dog Caravan?"

"en!" Dagon rattled, his knife slicing through the steak, rubbing against the pottery plate, making a zhi zhi rattling sound. "It's really them, that's right. The caravan and I also walked a section of the road, and we parted after the heavy rain. Alas, how can a good person become a liar?"

" Since you're so sure, I'll help you find it." Lang Li pushed aside the plate and asked the innkeeper to bring paper and pen. "Dagon, you have lost something in your writing. I can help you to see if someone is selling stolen goods. Maybe there are clues."

"That's the only way." Dagon wiped his mouth , wiped his hands, took the quill, and carefully wrote his package and item on the paper.

While he was making the list, Lan Li began to eat her own portion of food, and after only a few bites, she felt that there was no taste or appetite. Lord Borge recently caught a gang of robbers called the Chamber of Commerce, which seems to be called the Golden Dogs. Those people were kept in the prison she was in charge of, and the things were piled up in the stables of the lord's mansion.

Langly asks Borge why she wasn't called when the robber was caught.

Borge sighed, called the head, and said: "We are going to pick up people, didn't expect a few brothers... A few of my attendants were killed by robbers, and we just made up for these temporarily. The reason why we didn't notify you is because we didn't know in advance."

Immediately afterwards, his tone became stern: "Langli, it's your responsibility that there are robbers around the town. Don't forget that the mission assessment of the elf governor is to clean up the robbers! The ones caught recently are locked up without trial, keep their mouths shut, and don't let them make a sound. I feel that someone in the town may be colluding with these robbers, you Just go focus on this matter first."

Lang Li thought a lot while looking at Dagon: Could he be a member of the robber, did he collude with the robber? Maybe those "robbers" are just liars?
After a while, Dagon finished writing the list for her. Everything on the list is Dagon's, one more and one less, complete and authentic. Because of the truth, Dagon was very confident after writing it and handed it directly to Langley.

"That's it, basically it should be right, but it is possible that the liar has touched my things, and it is possible that there is a slight deviation." Dagon said to Lan Li: "I have mine on my pot. The name, which is passed down from the family, although it is not an expensive thing, it is very memorable to me."

"I will help you to see, you can just wait for the news." Lan Li took the note, put it away carefully, and stood up. The chair fell behind her, banging on the floor.

"Broken chair." Langley's eyes twitched and she left the hotel. And behind her, the bald head, the half-elf man, the naked man on a leash, and someone who simply didn't get a chance to be described followed along, like four loyal guard dogs.

The doors of the hotel closed again, and before the creaking of the leaflets died down, the hall was filled with activity again. Barker's shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his brow with a cup-wiping rag, then stared at Dagon relieved. Immediately afterwards, his eyes looked towards the wine bottle, and the meaning was self-evident.

"This is quite expensive." Dagon thought for a moment, then said, "But I already bought it, so let's just drink it. It's really good wine."

"Uh, That's no problem. If you want to refund, I can find you some more money."

"Then you will suffer, so don't." Dagon smiled, the heart of the hotel boss was bleeding. .

The wine is simply not thirty gold coins, but one hundred and fifty gold coins a bottle. When Lan Li was there just now, he didn't dare to report the real price, so as not to let the robbers know that he has a lot of expensive wine here, and think that the hotel is very rich, and maybe that little stable tax cannot guarantee his safe operation. Thirty gold coins, even the cost is far from enough, can he not feel distressed?
At night, Lati cuddles up in the corner of the bed with the quilt and pillow in her arms, and Dagon is woken up by Starhelm. Someone was walking towards his room, and the footsteps were very light, but the bear lizard's hearing and sense of smell were very good, and he still found this person.

Dagon got up quietly and drew the dagger from under the pillow. This dagger is very short and is not considered a real weapon. It is more responsible for cutting tools such as food. The Headhunting Axe is reclining against the wall, but the hotel room is relatively small, and it is not suitable for the Headhunting Axe to exert its power. The short broadsword is still in its sheath, and there will inevitably be a sound when it is drawn.

His hand-to-hand skills, especially in wrestling, are as good as the use of weapons. For weapon masters, hand-to-hand combat is essential, no matter what type of student is being taught, sword and shield, dual weapon or marksman. The body is the first and final weapon, it is a threat to all enemies, how can we not learn it?

If other Jiangu clansman were here, the enemy might have been alerted, but Dagon is surprisingly light. This is thanks to his tireless cultivation and Tormund's teaching in accordance with his aptitude. Dagon hid on the side of the door, listening quietly, making sure that the person who came was just outside the door, about to open the door, and definitely not the fat hotel boss.

He yanked the door open, then dodged halfway and grabbed it with his hand. Relying on Jiangu clansman's larger and stronger waist and abdominal muscles, Dagon will fall to the ground in the future.

As everyone knows, the dwarf is low and heavy, with a solid bottom plate, and it is difficult to be thrown or knocked away. But when dwarves take the initiative to use this advantage to smash or smash others, they can often explode with greater strength. So the people outside the door were directly caught, tripped, turned over and fell to the ground, with almost no ability to resist. And Dagon rode on, his legs pressed against his waist, his left arm pressed against the man's chest, the dagger against his neck - and then he felt something was wrong.

A pair of red eyes looked at him, it was Langley. "You like being on the ground? I think the bed would be better."

Dagon looked left and right, and Langley came alone. There was no one else in the empty corridor, and there was a dimly lit oil lamp on the ground. At this moment, Lati turned over and choked her nose twice, as if she was crying softly in a dream. She didn't wake up with the bang just now, it's okay if she didn't wake up.

"I didn't expect you to come." Dagon removed his dagger, moved his arm, but grabbed Langley's right hand again. Through the thin clothes, Dagon's fingers touched something hard. "A wrist scabbard inside?"

"Yes. If I came to kill you, I would have cut you several times just now." Langley looked down and said, "I thought you were I didn't understand, it turns out that you know everything, just pretending to be stupid."

"What do you mean?"

"About my quilt is empty."

"Did you bring a glass, didn't you break it? Drinking so late?" Dagon got up from Langley, then extended the hand to try to pull her up.

Lang Li banged Dagon's hand away and stood up straight with a carp.

"I've heard of dwarves' dullness before, but this is the first time I've seen hypocrisy." Langley shook her head and rubbed her chest and abdomen to ease the pain. "Can you bring the lamp here? You dwarves can see clearly in the dark, but I can't."

"Tell me how you were going to get in?"

"I You have the key here, Buck gave it." Langley pointed to the floor outside the house, and there really was a bunch of keys there. "Originally, I wanted to surprise you by entering the house, but didn't expect to be found by you. Alas, as expected, sheriffs can't do sneaky things. But then again, if someone doesn't understand my perfectly clear invitation, then I What can I do?"

Dagon scratched his head in confusion, walked outside and retrieved the keys and lantern, while Langley was already sitting on his bed. Put the lantern on the table, dim it a bit, and cover half of the light with clothes to avoid disturbing Lati.

"What are you doing here with me? Talk about business, but keep your voice down, there are still people sleeping."

"Who doesn't want to sleep?" Langley said, "Dagon , do you have a wife?"

Dagon shook his head and said, "No. Why are you asking this?"

"It's easy to understand if you don't." Langley said: " Hmm... I seem to have found what you lost. We found them as loot."

"That's very good." Dagon said with a smile: "Where's the golden dog Chamber of Commerce? Has it come to them?"

"It's hard to say, and I have reasons to keep it secret, and I can't tell you if I know it." Langley said: "But you need to have a condition to get your things back."

"That's mine."

"I found it for you." Langley said, "It's not a good night, you'll be in town tomorrow night at midnight. On the west side of Yuechi Racecourse, there is a red stable. There is a gentle slope behind the stable, and I will wait for you there. If you want to come, then I will give you your things back.”

"It's so troublesome? Why do you have to go out of town at midnight?"

"I originally wanted to give it to you tonight, but I lost face and my mood was completely ruined by your wrestling. What about you, You have to pay me, you have to let me wrestle and win. After I win, I will feel better, and it will be good for you."

"It seems that I have no room for rejection."

"Yes." Lan Li nodded: "I'm the sheriff here, I can let more than a dozen Knights rush in at any time and beat you to the ground. Although your strength is good, it's not that strong, not to mention you It's not my opponent either."

"So just now?"

"I let you down just now, and I despise those people who can't threaten me at all." Langley fiddled with With her hair up and her smiling like a flower, she said, "I'll be waiting for you, at midnight tomorrow."

"What time is it now? You mean the next midnight, right?"

"Yes." Lan Li nodded: "Time is a little tight, you better not delay. See you outside the town, and you'd better not go to me today, and don't leave the hotel door."
