Chapter 41, Chapter 42
Returning to Sageson, Xie Feng and the four caravan guards immediately entered the hotel and fell asleep. It was not until dinner time that a soldier came to wake Xie Feng up and handed him a money bag - this was Kristina
After selling the loot, he gave Xie Feng a share of the proceeds. Xie Feng opened the bag with joy and counted it. The total was 485 dinars. Xie Feng happily rewarded the soldier who gave the money with 5 dinars.
He also distributed 0 dinars to each caravan guard - although these mercenaries were exempted from wages under the "Soldier Agreement", Xie Feng was not that stingy.
He made up his mind to go back to the training ground tomorrow. It was not convenient to carry mercenaries with him, so Xie Feng dismissed them - anyway, Xie Feng now has more than 2,000 dinars, and he doesn't care about the 640 dinars at the beginning.
After a hasty dinner in the tavern, I planned to go to Ali to say goodbye.
According to his own memory, Xie Feng walked through the streets at night. Soon, he found Ali's home.
"Papa" Xie Feng knocked on the door and took out two smoked fish from the inventory, intending to give them to Ali. Soon, the door was opened, and it was Ali who looked haggard.
"Sela is missing!" Ali said after inviting Xie Feng into the house. Xie Feng was surprised: "What's going on?" Ali sighed sadly and said: "Sela didn't come back last night. Until now,
Still no news." Xie Feng speculated: "Could he be kidnapped?" Ali shook his head and said: "I didn't go to work all day today, and I almost searched for Sageson.
I asked Aunt Susan next door to help me keep an eye on what's going on at home, and no one sent a blackmail letter all day long." Xie Feng guessed again: "Maybe she went to stay at a friend's house and forgot to tell you - maybe she will do it now
On the way back." Ali shook his head again and said: "No, in the past three years, Sera has never tried not to go home to sleep." Xie Feng guessed again: "Then she may have left home.
Run away? It seems that I had a conflict with you the night before yesterday..." Ali shook his head again and said: "She didn't take anything with her, not even a piece of her clothes - except for what she was wearing. There were also other things in the house.
No note was left." Xie Feng asked: "Then did you call the police... Well, I mean did you tell the mayor or the security officer about this?" Ali sighed and said: "No.
Yes, there are missing people in every town and village in Calradia almost every day. And if this does not directly affect the interests of the lords, who cares about this?" Xie Feng asked again: "Then what was the last time you saw this?
When did Serra meet?" Ali said: "Just the morning before yesterday, when I got up early to go to work, Serra woke up just as I was about to go out... I never thought that would be the last time I saw Serra..."
As he spoke, tears filled his eyes, and he was about to cry. Xie Feng quickly asked again: "Then do you know who Sera usually stays with?" Ali shook his head and even shook away the tears.
He came out and said: "I really don't know about this. I only know that she usually plays with some urchins on the street. Every time I bump into her, she runs very fast." Xie Feng said: "Then we will look for those urchins tomorrow.
Ask the urchins on the street one by one. Seeing how tired you are, go to bed first. I will go look for you tomorrow." Ali shook his head again and said, "I can't sleep. What if something happens to Sera?
, how should I explain to her dead parents? Now when I close my eyes, I can see what Serra's mother looked like before she died. I saw her holding my hand and pleading with me: 'Ali, I beg you,
You must take good care of Sera for me, I beg you...'" After saying this, Ali covered his eyes with his hands and began to cry. Xie Feng suddenly didn't know what to do, and he didn't know how to comfort others. He had to
Said: "It won't help even if you cry to death here now. The only way now is to wait until tomorrow morning to find the urchins on the street to find out, maybe there will be clues." Ali ignored Xie Feng and continued to cover his eyes.
Crying. Xie Feng thought to himself: "Oh, I can't stand a woman crying in front of me. Now a man is crying in front of me." He couldn't think of a good way. Finally, Xie Feng gritted his teeth and said,
Said: "Brother Ali, you can go and rest now. The worst... the worst is I will ask the lord for you tomorrow!" Ali wiped his tears and said: "Please ask the lord? How could the lord listen to you?" Xie Feng said: "I know him.
A lord, but she's awesome. She is King Ragnar's daughter, Kristina. I fought alongside her yesterday. I will go see him early tomorrow morning and ask her to help find out. I believe she will be there soon.
There will be results... don't worry." Ali said in disbelief: "Really?" Xie Feng said: "Of course, I have known you for so long... um... I have known you for two days, when did I lie to you?
?Don't worry, I'm also very worried about the safety of little girl Sera, but it's useless to cry in the house. Could it be that if you cry so much that the whole continent of Calradia turns into a sea of tears, Sera will be able to hold on?
Have we come back to you on the boat?" Ali finally stopped crying. Xie Feng continued: "Listen to me, we should have a good rest now and recharge ourselves. I will go to Kristina to explain this to Kristina early tomorrow morning.
Ask her to send troops to help find out about this matter. The king's daughter's power is still not low, and there may be news. Then we will go to the urchins on the street and ask them if they have seen Sera recently. I believe it will be very soon.
We will be able to find Sera soon, don’t you think?” As he said this, he was praying in his heart: “Xiao Ke, you really want to sell me this face.” After hearing Xie Feng’s words, Ali also felt that it made sense, so
Said: "Okay, let's go to bed early tonight and go look for Sera early tomorrow morning... God, I hope nothing happens to her."
After finally convincing Ali, Xie Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "Where will Sera go?" Early the next morning, before the sky was still dark and the rooster had not crowed, Xie Feng was pulled up from the bed by Ali.
.
"Let's go Xie Feng, let's go find Sera." Ali said.
Are you going out on the street now? If you are a noble, why are you getting up now? Ali, I know you are very anxious to find Sera, but we should also be more rational, right? Let's rest for another two hours. I believe you didn't do it last night
How can I sleep well?" In fact, Xie Feng didn't sleep well last night. Last night, Xie Feng came to Ali as soon as he woke up in the hotel. Then he lay down in bed and spent the first half of the night thinking about where Sera would go.
It wasn't until early in the morning, around 0:00, that I fell asleep.
Ali thought about it, who would wander around on the street so early except himself? So he put Xie Feng down and let him continue to rest, while he lay on the bed tossing and turning.
After finally waiting until there were more people on the street, Ali pulled Xie Feng up from the bed again and said: "Okay, the time is up, let's go find Sera." Xie Feng looked at the bright sky and knew
It was almost time, so I got up and washed up, then followed Ali out.
The two of them walked all the way to King Ragnar's castle. Xie Feng said to Ali, "Wait for me here while I go find Kristina." Ali nodded and let Xie Feng go.
Xie Feng walked up to the guard guarding the door and said to the guard: "Hello, I want to see Princess Christina. Could you please pass the message for me?" The guard shook his hand at Xie Feng in disgust and said: "Let's go.
Let's go for a walk. If everyone says they want to meet the princess and the king, wouldn't I be very busy? Wouldn't the princess and the king be even busier?" Xie Feng quickly explained: "Princess Christina is my friend.
The guard waved his hand again and said: "Go away quickly! Your father and I are also friends. Should you call me uncle? If you don't leave, I will lock you up."
Xie Feng had no choice but to produce evidence that he knew Kristina, so he had no choice but to look back.
"How is it?" Ali asked eagerly.
"Not very good." Xie Feng replied: "The dead guard refused to let me see the princess."
When Ali heard this, his eyes immediately dimmed. Xie Feng said quickly: "It doesn't matter. Let's go find the urchins first to inquire about the situation. Let the people nearby help us pay attention to when the princess comes out. If the princess comes out, let him tell the princess.
If I have something to ask her, the princess will give the order and the guards will help me convey it when I find her again." Ali nodded, and that was all he could do now.
The two walked to the nearest shop, took out some money, and explained to the shopkeeper, who quickly agreed. So the two set out to find the urchins to find out the news.
"Hello, kid!" Xie Feng caught a kid and asked, "Do you know Sera?" The kid rolled his eyes at Xie Feng and said, "I don't know!" Xie Feng knew this would happen.
, took out a dinar and waved it in front of the child, then put it in the child's hand, and then asked: "Do you recognize Serra now?" The child received the money and happily replied:
"Still don't know you." He ran away in a hurry. Xie Feng did not chase after him, gritted his teeth and punched the ground hard. He had already been "cheated" out of 10 dinars, and there was still no one.
People say they know Sera, but is Sera's popularity so bad? When he looked up, he saw a child about the same age as Sera not far away. Xie Feng was not discouraged and continued to step forward and asked: "Hello, do you know me?
Sera?" The child stared at Xie Feng and said warily: "What are you going to do?" Xie Feng knew there was something going on when he heard it, and quickly took out another copper coin and stuffed it into the child's hand, and asked: "Can you tell me what you are doing?
When was the last time I saw her?" The child took the money, and his face suddenly looked better. He glanced at his head and thought for a while, then said: "About five days ago, is there anything wrong?" Xie Feng suddenly had a black line on his face and was weak.
He said authentically: "No...it's okay, thank you." As he was about to leave, the child stopped him and said: "Sela often appears in the 'Silent Tavern' in the west of the city. If you want to find her, you can go there.
Take a look." Upon hearing this, Xie Feng's eyes brightened up, he said thank you and walked towards the west of the city.
In the west of the city, in front of the Silent Tavern. After several inquiries, Xie Feng finally found this tavern.
Xie Feng opened the door of this tavern and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, Xie Feng deeply realized the meaning of an idiom - smoky atmosphere. The whole tavern was filled with an uncomfortable smell, and the guests in the tavern, in twos and threes, were either lying on the table and sleeping, or lying in the tavern.
They tell very vulgar and even unpleasant jokes - they are all people who look like they are not serious. It is hard to imagine that a 15-year-old girl in her prime usually hangs out with such people and on such occasions.
Not long after Xie Feng entered the door, a man who looked like a waiter came forward and asked respectfully: "Sir, what do you need?"
Short hair. I usually come here often." When the waiter heard that Xie Feng was here to find someone, his face that had been smiling suddenly became serious and cold, and he said coldly to Xie Feng: "I don't know you, sir, you'd better go.
Look for it elsewhere." Xie Feng saw this, took out two copper coins, put them into the waiter's hand, and said: "I will leave as soon as I find the person, please let me know." The waiter pushed the money back to Xie Feng's hand,
He continued to say coldly: "I really don't know you, sir, please leave." Xie Feng gritted his teeth, added three more copper coins and stuffed them into the waiter's hand, and said: "Can you please do me a favor? I'll leave as soon as I find him.
, I won’t bother you again.” The waiter pushed the money back to Xie Feng’s hand again. Seeing this, Xie Feng gritted his teeth again, took out 5 copper coins and added them to the pile, saying: “Please do me a favor, please.”
." The waiter looked at Xie Feng coldly and let go of his hand. The 10 copper coins immediately fell to the floor with a clanking sound. Seeing the waiter leaving without looking back, Xie Feng thought there must be something wrong and immediately stepped forward.
He grabbed the waiter from behind, took out the assassin's dagger from the inventory and put it against the waiter's waist, threatening: "If you refuse to speak this time, I guarantee you will never be able to speak again."
