Chapter 204
The sun sets and night falls.
The lively Kanlos town gradually returned to peace, with few pedestrians on the streets and alleys, and their steps were rushing, and occasionally a few dog barking sounded, making them lonely.
Mintok Hotel.
Every evening and dusk, the hotel business will be particularly prosperous and lively. The business trips that stop, and the townspeople who drink and have fun gather together to chat and make noise, so this period is often the busiest time for hotel attendants.
When Xia Lan returned to the hotel, she did not attract anyone's attention. She was as silent as a transparent person. As long as he wanted, he could make it difficult for any ordinary person to detect his existence.
"Are you back?"
When he was about to open the wooden door of his guest room, a voice suddenly stopped him.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Turning his head, Pandillia was leaning against the half-open door of the next room and staring at him silently.
"What do you think?"
Pandillia smiled casually.
"Is there something wrong?"
Xia Lan's hand was still pressed on the door handle.
"Yes, but this is not a place to talk."
After saying that, Pandilia turned around and disappeared by the door.
Xia Lan was silent for a while, her eyes fell on the half-open door. He knew that it was her invitation.
So, he let go of the hand on the doorknob.
...
"I heard you killed someone?"
Pandilia put the prepared hot tea on Xialan's table and said quietly.
"Yes."
Xia Lan picked up the teacup and drank it gently. The tea was very coarse and was far less refreshing than the tea fragrance of the Chengweiguan Mansion.
Pandilia sat gracefully on the sofa. She didn't drink tea. Perhaps it was because she didn't want to drink such crude tea. She teased the hair in her ears, and her petite body seemed a little lazy.
"It seems you have caused trouble for Algeron again."
"It just happened." Xia Lan said.
"Is it really a coincidence?" Pandillia chuckled.
Xia Lan looked at her without saying a word.
"All right."
Seeing the other party's actions, Pandillia sighed and said, "What did Algeron say to you?"
"The caravan of Viscount Frant is likely to pass through Kanlos in the past two days. He hopes that we can follow the caravan to Talalo under Viscount Frant's rule." Xia Lan said calmly.
Pandilia pondered for a moment, saying, "Are you sure he has no other thoughts on us?"
"He is a very ambitious person, and he has no choice." Xia Lan said.
"I hope so."
In a blink of an eye, Pandillia no longer struggled with this problem, but suddenly remembered something and chuckled, "Why did you help that young man named Arien?"
"Um?"
"I heard him quarrel with the hotel owner at noon, so I was curious about it," Pandillia explained.
"I didn't help him."
Xia Lan put down the teacup that had been drinking all over.
"Yes. But it's very likely that he will die because of you." Pandillia said with half-squinted eyes.
"A person with ambition to die is worse than living in a daze, let death be freed simply and neatly." Xia Lan said calmly.
"Aren't you afraid that he will ruin your business?" Pandillia asked in confusion.
"No." Xia Lan said: "Argenon will not die."
"I think Algeron should die." Pandillia said coldly.
"Because his evil deeds are obvious?" Xia Lan asked.
"You know?" Pandillia said.
"Of course." Xia Lan said.
"Why?" Pandilia said coldly Ruohanshuang.
"Are you really a princess of Sissinia?" Xia Lan suddenly asked inexplicably.
After hearing the other party's words, Pandillia fell silent.
"You can't change the current situation of this world, even if you become the eldest daughter of Sissinia in the future." Xia Lan sneered.
Familiar with the original trajectory of history, he knew that Pandillia was actually a kind and idealistic woman.
Her hiding life of being dependent on others for many years did not make her truly recognize this reality. The strength and cleverness on the surface were more like her disguised coat, tightly wrapped around her little longing for the beautiful world.
If she was more ruthless and more vigilant, she would not end up in death.
He vaguely remembered that Salice gave many advice when she followed her. However, her personality determined everything, and she finally chose to do what she wanted.
She is a very contradictory woman, sad and hateful.
...
Two days later.
The carriage sent by Algeron slowly stopped in front of the Mintok Hotel. The hotel owner Bart stood outside the door, looking a little depressed, facing Xia Lan and his party.
Two days ago, Arien's house was inexplicably burned into a fire, but Arien himself disappeared. It was said that Arien actually burned to ashes in the fire, and his corpse was gone.
Bart, who felt deeply guilty of this, always looked like this.
"Your Excellency, Lord Algeron is already waiting for you at the city gate."
When Pandelia and Winnie entered the carriage, Xialan, who had just stepped on the horse, heard the voice of Ogno, who was coming to see him off.
On the way to Tralo this time, Ogno will not accompany him. He will be Algeron's deputy for the time being in charge of the city guards in Kanlos.
"Thanks a lot."
Xia Lan, who was riding on the horse, nodded to the other party.
"Your Excellency is so serious, this is just my duty." Ogno said in a panic.
"By the way, have you found any signs of fugitives these two days?"
Xia Lan suddenly asked on the way forward.
"We have not gained anything about this matter, but yesterday we received news from other towns, as if the fugitives were no longer in Sissinia." Ognogre secretly glanced at the other party and said carefully.
"No longer in Sissinia? What's going on?" Xia Lan asked casually.
"I heard that the soldiers who were specifically responsible for tracking and arresting fugitives were found in the mountains of Leraso. According to inference, the fugitives may have fled to Adria." Ogno said.
"I see."
Xia Lan nodded and said.
Has Viscount Frant already begun to give up the arrest? Perhaps things wouldn't be so simple.
So, Xia Lan continued to ask: "Has something happened to the territory under Viscount Frant's rule these days?"
Ogno looked at Xia Lan with a little surprise and said, "How did you know?"
"Guess." Xia Lan said simply.
"We did receive emergency information in the morning. Earl of Heather, Rodway, suddenly launched an invasion on Diorda under the territory of Viscount Frant!" Ogno said.
"The war has begun again." Xia Lan whispered.
