Chapter 410 The Trouble Caused by the Golden Scroll
In a manor in the southwest corner of the city, this manor is the residence of Mosan Caesar, the royal tutor of Corussia, in Arant. At this time, all the servants in the manor were busy, because their master was coming back to host this alchemy competition.
"Butler, will our Lord be able to come back tonight?"
Vedran, the housekeeper of the mansion, said: "We have received the side report. Your Lordship and his entourage have arrived in the morning. In a small town four hundred miles away, the messenger said that the Lord would be there Come back today."
"Oh, that's good. I'm really afraid that you won't be able to make it back when you went to the subcontinent to attend the 'Alchemy Academic Exchange Seminar' held by Luo Shenguo a few months ago. The next alchemy competition will have to be postponed.”
The butler said: "Go and instruct the servants to go about their business. Your Excellency must be very tired after traveling back and forth for several months."
"Yes."
......
Night.
In the hotel room, Bing Zhixie was reading a book about alchemy on the bookshelf in the room. He yawned and looked at the time: "It's eleven o'clock." Then he looked at Alice on the other bed next to him. He didn't know when he had fallen asleep, still holding it in his hand. A dozen pages of "The Adventures of a Pirate Mercenary".
He jumped up from the bed, put his and Alice's books back on the bookshelf, pressed a ball of magic power gently on the formation of the spar lamp, and was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep. At this time, most of the hotel guests were asleep or doing their own things in their rooms.
Night, one o'clock. Outside the corridor, two waiters passed by each holding a quilt. They deliberately stopped in front of room 4103 before going downstairs.
Arrived downstairs, two waiters washed the quilt and then came to the lounge. One of them asked: "Is that the room?"
"Well, the two little guys have already gone to bed. If we stay a little later, it's time for us to take action." Another waiter said.
The first waiter said: "I'm still a little scared. Stealing so much money is a felony. We will go to jail."
"Look at your potential." Another waiter scolded unhappily: "Do you just want to be a waiter in this hotel all your life? Do you want to spend your whole life looking at people's faces?"
"But I I don't want to be in jail either. It will last a lifetime."
The first waiter said: "If you don't dare, then don't do it. Those golden scrolls are mine alone."
"No, no, no. I didn’t say I wouldn’t do it, but I have to be careful. A little."
The first waiter smiled: "Oh, you didn't see it. When we were in the restaurant during the day, everyone was dumbfounded by the thick stack of gold rolls. It was quite good. A few dozen. With this money, we can live the life we want, with mansions, manors, women, whatever we want, and we no longer have to rack our brains every day to figure out how to get customers from us. I have a few extra silver coins in my hand as a tip.”
When his companion heard these words, his eyes also shone with yearning: "What should we do specifically?"
"It's very simple." The first waiter said: "The children are all asleep, it's almost the same time. This is when people are most sleepy. We sneaked into their rooms to get them, and the money bags must be in their pockets. After we got the money and divided it in half, we left here, left this hotel, and left this place. The city will never come back again.”
Although the other waiter was still a little scared, when he thought about the bumpy but smooth new gold scrolls in his hand, he didn’t care about anything. Sorry, he couldn't suppress his nervousness: "I have grown up and I have never touched a golden scroll."
The first waiter also showed the same excited expression.
The two waiters came to the fourth floor again and saw that there was no one in the corridor. The first waiter said: "Key, have you got the key?"
Another waiter opened his palm, and there was a metal key stained with nervous sweat in his palm.
“Well done. Such a large amount of money actually belongs to two traveling teenagers. This is a gift from God to us. If we let it miss, God will not forgive us. "The first waiter said: "Let's go."
In the room, Bing Zhixie, who had been asleep for two hours, opened his eyes because he heard slight footsteps stopping outside his door: "Finally here." Two hours ago , he heard the footsteps of the same two people stopping outside his room for a while before leaving.
During the day, Alice took out a stack of gold scrolls in front of so many people. The money was nothing to them, but to others, it was a huge sum. At that time, he was worried that someone would try to take advantage of the money. Now, as expected, the person who wanted the money really came. ‘Click’ The door lock was gently twisted, and a figure leaned forward and pushed the door open.
After the first waiter at the back confirmed again that there was no one in the corridor, he whispered: "Quick, get in." The two of them slipped into room 4103 one by one.
Gently closing the door ajar, with the moonlight shining from the window, the two of them gradually adapted to the light in the room.
"Aren't there two people over there? Why is there one missing?" Another waiter asked strangely.
Bing Zhixie lived in a double room, and the two beds were in the same room. At this time, only Alice was still there on the two beds, but Bing Zhixie didn't know where she was.
The first waiter also immediately became nervous. They squatted on the side of a cabinet and quietly observed the situation in the room. They were worried that another person would get up in the middle of the night and go to the toilet.
But after waiting for a while, there was no movement in the room, except for Alice's subtle breathing, which was the sound of night bugs outside the hotel. Moreover, there was no light on in the toilet.
Two are even more strange. Another waiter asked: "He is still a young man, he...where has he gone?"
"How do I know." The first waiter said softly: "Maybe...maybe he went out?" "
"Going out so late?"
"Are all teenagers playful?" The first waiter who said this actually didn't believe that anyone would go out to play so late. . But there was one person missing in the room, and he was confused.
Another waiter asked again: "What should we do now? I always feel uneasy. How about we leave and come back tomorrow."
"Leave? I don't know if they will still live here tomorrow. "Idiot, if you miss this time, you won't have a chance. If you want to leave, just leave alone." The first waiter was a little loud when he was angry, which scared his companion and made silent gestures.
The first waiter said again: "Anyway, we have come in now, and we must not leave empty-handed. It is better to be alone without one person. Let's quickly take those gold scrolls and leave." The two people hurriedly left in the room. Turn inside out.
After a while, they found the money bag on the chair where Alice's clothes were placed next to the bed. The two of them opened the bag and saw a thick pile of gold scrolls inside, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
Suddenly, all the spar lights in the room were on. Bing Zhixie leaned against the door and looked at the two waiters, saying coldly: "What are you doing?"
The two waiters were frightened by this sudden change and said in a panic: "We...we..."
"Well, what's wrong? Why turn on the light." Alice was disturbed by the noise and Awakened by the light, he squinted his eyes and sat up from the bed.
The first waiter suddenly grabbed Alice and dragged her off the bed. He took out a knife from his sleeve and pressed it on her neck: "Don't shout! I don't want her." If you die, let us leave." He knew that if he was caught stealing gold coins worth hundreds of thousands, he would have to stay in jail for at least several years, not to mention his whole life.
Alice was startled, but immediately understood what was going on. She wanted to resist, but the waiter also had some skills and restrained her firmly.
“Hey, hey.” Another of his companions panicked: “Didn’t you say you were just here to steal things? The crime of kidnapping and robbery is more serious.”
The first waiter shouted angrily at the companion next to him: "Don't make any noise, it's already like this. If you don't want to go to jail, just listen to me!" He said to Bing Zhixie: "Let us leave, we only want money and we will never hurt her." . Otherwise, I don’t want to stay in jail. If you push me too hard, I will kill her!”
“Oh, really?” , Bing Zhixie is still in front of them, but is it true behind them? ’ The sound of three words came from behind them.
In the blink of an eye, the young man in front of them was behind them. The two waiters were so frightened that they fell to the ground, and Alice also broke free from the guy's hand.
Bing Zhixie squatted on the back of the chair. It was impossible for an average person to squat on the back of such a chair, but he squatted on it and looked at them coldly.
The two waiters finally realized that the boy in front of them was a master.
