Chapter 88 Chapter 88 Little Scout

Lati woke up and felt relieved, she missed it so much The comfort of a serious bed, pillow and quilt. It just didn't last long, she thought of her dead family and felt ashamed of herself. She hurriedly looked for Dagon, and found that the dwarf was sitting astride a chair, lying on the back of the chair, looking out the window through the glass.

"Awake?" Dagon said, "The hotel brought biscuits. If you're hungry, eat them first."

Lati nodded, put on her shoes and got out of bed. She drank some water first, then lifted the plate of cookies from the table. Blueberry cookies have a strong sweet smell that looks and smells delicious. As she ate, she brought the biscuits to Dagon.

"I'm not hungry." Dagon shook his head.

"Well, that's right. You ate a plate of jasmine-scented cookies, didn't you?"

Dagon tugged at his beard. The fragrance of jasmine should be the smell of Lanli fragrance. He has never seen jasmine, but he asked Lanli last night, so he was impressed. "There is no second plate of biscuits. Lan Li came here last night, the sheriff in town."

"She came? I don't know!" Lati was startled and asked hastily. : "Is she going to harm you?"

"No, and it doesn't look like it." Dagon still looked out the window and answered absentmindedly. "There was something odd about her behavior, and I tried to analyze it, as I did Borge's intentions, but I failed. I just got some vague feeling, not a single clear answer."

"Oh..." Lati's face fell and she said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you."

"No, you can help." Dagon beckons with the hand , let Lati come to the window. He pointed outside and said, "Look, there's a bakery across the street."

"Well, I know that one, Sweet Fingers. It doesn't just make everyday bread, it makes cakes too. .I like their raspberry pie, pigeon pie and egg tarts the most." Lati blinked and said, "I talk a little too much, you talk."

"You don't talk much. , on the contrary they are very important." Dagon said: "Before daybreak, they started preparations. Early in the morning, two bell knights came here and took a box this big."

Dagon After making a gesture, it was a cardboard box about one meter cubic.

"Half an hour later, the two Knights came back, and I noticed that the left side of one's face was swollen. They entered the bakery with a box that was clearly opened and quarreled for a while inside. Afterwards, the two Knights left, and the bakery boss came out with a grin, with a big slap print on his face."

"That must have been beaten by the Knights, they were the worst." Ti said.

Dagon nods. "Afterwards, I noticed that the fat boss sent three employees to three different directions and seemed to be in a hurry. I think this is worth investigating, so I'm going to leave it to you."

" Me?" Lati's heart beat a few times faster, and then nodded hard: "Okay, I'll try my best to finish it. But what am I going to check?"

"Why did those Knights come to the bakery early in the morning? Take something? That big box, it doesn't look like bread."

"It should be cake." Lati said, "I saw their paintings at Sweetfinger, they can use cream, honey, etc. , icing to make a two-layer cake, and there will be a ginger candy man on it, with words of blessing written on it. It is the most expensive thing in their store, and the price is 35gold coin.”

“Look at it. , you'll help." Dagon smiled, and Lati was happy too.

"The 35gold coin cake is not cheap, it must be used on important occasions or for important people. Since it was taken by the bell Knight, it is likely to be related to Borge. After the box is taken away It was sent back, and Knight's face was swollen, and then the bakery Boss' face was swollen, indicating that the person who asked for this thing was not satisfied with it."

"Hmmmm, that must be the case. "

"I can't be so sure. What I said is only a possibility. It is up to you to check the specific situation." Dagon said: "I want to know if it is the lord's main thing. If so, Then why does he want it. Especially if he prepares it for himself, or for... the elf governor. If a welcome banquet is to be held, a lot of things must be prepared in advance, especially food and drinks."

Dagon has only attended one party, but he has learned a lot. Because his mother Corona was helping in the kitchen, father Tormund had also become the lord's advisor at that time, participating in the arrangement and coordination of many affairs of the banquet, and they would trap their own knowledge, understanding and ideas in the room and could not go out. Dagon share. Therefore, Dagon has an understanding of how to organize the lord's banquet, how to mobilize the forces in those areas, what kind of arrangements will be made, and the overall planning of these aspects.

The Neil family in Jiangu city has been preparing for a banquet for the representatives of the clan meeting for two weeks, so the banquet for Borge "Lord" to welcome the elf governor should be similar. Dagon had this idea after seeing the bakery, maybe he didn't need to inquire from Lionheart Town to know the itinerary of the Elf Governor or his dispatchers.

"Lati, you have to be safe when you go there." Dagon said, "I'm a Jiangu clansman, and the bakery boss is sure to be wary, so it's hard for me to ask."

"I know that Boss, his name is Candy Sweet. He's a very friendly man with a very good temper. I believe he will help me." Lati thought for a while, then said, "Dagon big brother , can I say that my family is gone and want to hide with him for a few days?"

"You want to tell him who you are?"

"He might recognize me Yeah, let me just say it directly. I think Borge's people are bad people, but it doesn't mean that everyone in town will suddenly become bad people. I can help in his shop and it will be more real."

"Will the bell knight recognize you?"

"We have only visited the five bell knights in our family, and they were all wiped out by you, so the people at bastard Shouldn't recognize me." Ratti looked confident and said, "Sweet's family lives in the town. He has three sons and two daughters. I saw his daughters in the store, and we have a stature. It's very similar, and people who are not familiar with it may not be able to tell the difference."

"You've thought about it? It's amazing."

"It's not that you can't detect intelligence. I I won't tell him about the golden dog, the Chamber of Commerce, lest he miss the point." Lati said with a smile: "I think you are very good when facing the sheriff, you are all the truth, and you lied to her.

“Not really,” Dagon said. “I didn’t mean to lie to her, and I didn’t even hate her. She was with Borge, but she didn’t take part in the kidnapping. Caravan."

"How do you know?"

"I can see in the dark, and she's very recognizable. There's a woman in the caravan. Yes, she has cast spell, but she is not Lang Li. Apart from this, there are no women in that team of Knights."

"By the way, people in town don't know about our family yet. I think it's better to speak frankly with him. His child is in town, he must be afraid that an evil person like the bell knight will hurt his child, so he is more likely to help us. Didn't the bell knight just beat him? A Real Knights don't do that, only robbers and bandits do that."

Dagon stroked Lati's hair and said, "When I was your age, I didn't know anything but stupid. Playing silly and starving.”

“The dwarf is ten years old and still Less than two years old for humans, right? "Lati said: "Dwarves have such a long lifespan. When they look at a human with less than one-fifth of their lifespan, is it like a human looking at a puppy?" "

"Then the elves look at dwarves like they look at dogs?" Come on, it's not like that. Dagon shook his head and said, "I actually admire how fast humans learn and how fast their brains turn. I have lived in Jiangu City for 60 years, and the city has not changed for 60 years. I sometimes wonder: Is life in the same place a waste of time? "

"I don't know. "Lati shook his head: "I think I can live well, don't be killed by robbers, even if it stays the same." "

"Um... sorry for reminding you of this." Dagon rubbed Lati's head and messed up her hair, so she had to sort it out. The simple slapstick dissipated the sad atmosphere a little, so Dagon went on to say, "That Langley has an appointment tonight. I went out of town to meet alone, so I might not be back at night. You live in a bakery when you get the chance, there are people looking after it, and there is food. But the room is still there and you can come back anytime. "

"Lang Li is the bad guy, Dagon, you have to be careful." "

"I just think she's an ordinary person with a quirky temper, but not bad, right?" "

"I noticed the way she looked at you as if she was going to eat you up." "Lati said solemnly: "You have to be careful about that woman." Once a woman who couldn't afford a full dress looked at my dad like that and mother said she was a bad woman. "

"Maybe it's because of poverty..." Dagon didn't quite understand what a woman who couldn't buy enough clothes was, but he knew that Lati had a good heart. "I'll take care of her." I'll be fully armed and won't let her hurt me. "

"But I think you'd better not go." I can give you reconnaissance, using a safer method. "

"She's the sheriff." I asked Buck, and he said that if criminals are caught in the town, the sheriff is responsible for keeping them in custody, and the trial will be concentrated when the lord has time. Therefore, the Golden Dog Caravan is likely to be locked under her hands, and finding her is the most direct way. "

"Then be careful." "You also pay attention to safety. ”

In the field of caring for others, age, race, occupation, etc. will not make any difference.

After eating the biscuits, Lati cleaned up and wiped herself dirty Then he slipped by the wall and walked to the bakery. Dagon watched from the second layer of the hotel, and they made an appointment that if something went wrong, he would immediately go down to rescue, and the two of them left the city immediately. At this time, Dagon had finished dressing, and he was clenched in his hand. With the first hunting axe, she even figured out how to break the window, and then jumped from the second floor along the eaves.

After a while, she finally saw Lati walking out of the store. She had already put on She wore a work uniform with an apron, and her messy short hair was covered by a white hat. The little girl was cleaning the door of the store with a broom, and at the same time sent a secret smile to the hotel.

Well, not bad. The bakery boss's neck is temporarily safe. Dagon sits down again and takes out the sharpening stone. He decides to stay by the window during the day so he can keep an eye on the bakery. In the meantime, he can sharpen his head hunting axe. Sharper, sharper, no one knows what will happen to him tonight.

Maybe stab someone.
