Chapter 14 Hotel Everything

I originally thought it was just an ordinary incident of a wild vampire attacking citizens, but as more and more clues were pulled, the matter became serious.

Baldwin felt the pressure.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that this incident might be related to the murder of his family members that happened more than ten years ago.

Although the matter had been resolved, the vampire who attacked his family was killed by Baldwin. But as time passed, the pain and scars gradually faded, and he began to feel that the matter might not be that simple.

Especially in the past few days, after it was confirmed that Collins had been transformed into a vampire, he felt even more uneasy.

"Let's take these cipher letters back to the guild and decipher them slowly, then burn Lacy's body."

Baldwin thought for a while and began to plan his next strategy.

"Since the owner of this bungalow is dead, has it become the property of the lord? Can you discuss with your brother and sell it to me cheaper?" the old knight said.

He seems to want to be a neighbor with the countess next door.

"No, the bungalow must remain as it is, and I will arrange for a few smart boys to keep an eye on it."

"Want to find out this Lacy's accomplice?"

"Yes, since there are letters here, there must be a 'messenger'."

Once you find the courier, you can follow the clues and find out who sent the letter.

"Now there is a key question. Who is this D who seems to be very powerful?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and Jiang laughed and said, "Could it be that baron?"

Baldwin nodded: "There is a possibility. If so, that's good news."

Baron Collins has been killed, which is a blessing among misfortunes.

"But we must also be prepared for the worst and be on guard against this powerful vampire at all times."

At this time, a young hunter joked: "Worst plan? Could it be that the evil god Lilith has been resurrected? Or her son..."

Before he finished speaking, Baldwin glared at him: "If that's the case, it's not a worry. Anyway, no matter how much you resist, Constantine will become the same as he was a hundred years ago, and everyone here will become a domestic animal."

The young hunter stuck out his tongue and did not dare to speak anymore.

After arranging for secret sentries to stay around the bungalow, Baldwin said goodbye to the old knight and took the hunters back to the guild to rest.

After returning to the guild, Baldwin handed the small box to Jiang Xiaotan, and then said: "Help me give this box to Manager Hatter and ask him to find someone to decipher these ciphertext letters. The money in the box will be replenished to the guild."

In the funds.”

"What about this dagger?" Jiang Xiaotan asked.

Master Baldwin glanced at the dagger inlaid with gorgeous gems, and then said: "Take this dagger and use it."

"Well, this dagger looks quite valuable. Is it appropriate for me to hold it?"

"You have the greatest credit for hunting down vampires this time. Moreover, this dagger seems to have been made by an elven craftsman. The gems on it are all used to enhance the power of elemental magic. You are the only one in the guild who can use elemental magic."

After listening to the guild leader's words, Jiang Xiaotan accepted the dagger unceremoniously.

Now he also followed the example of other hunters and hung a belt on his body to store various small things. The dagger could just be hung next to the silver sword, which looked pretty good.

Picking up the small box, he went to Manager Haite's room, handed the things to the manager, and explained the guild leader's request.

"If you want to decipher the cipher text, you have to find those guys. It's really troublesome." Manager Hatter looked a little reluctant.

"Those guys?"

"Guys from the Assassin's Guild, they are very good at assassinations, secret documents, espionage and the like. You happen to be here, why don't you accompany me."

Manager Hatter doesn't know martial arts or magic, so he would be a little timid to let him enter a murderer's den. So he wanted to drag Kain, who he considered "the candidate for the strongest hunter in the guild", with him.

"Okay." Jiang Xiao said that nothing happened anyway.

Manager Haite weighed the money bag in the small box again and said: "This money is almost enough, and there is no need to put it in the warehouse."

The two set off immediately and arrived in front of Constantine's Cathedral.

"Is the Assassin's Guild hiding in the church?" Jiang Xiaotan asked.

"Of course not." Haite smiled.

He took Jiang Xiaotan to the back of the church, where there was a group of beggars. Every day the church would give them some black bread and the like, so there were always a large number of beggars gathering here.

The steward found a beggar sitting in the shade and whispered: "The shadow is with me, I have a commission."

After hearing this, the beggar looked at the manager and Jiang Xiaotan, nodded and stood up.

At this time, Jiang Xiaotan discovered that the beggar's right hand and left foot were gone, and that the man was tall and burly. It was obvious that he was a practitioner before becoming a beggar.

The two followed the beggar to a small house. The beggar knocked on the door three times and then opened a small window on the door. The beggar said: "I have a commission." The door opened.

After letting the two of them in, the beggar limped back.

There were only two strong men in black in the hut. They took out two black balaclavas and handed them to the manager to talk to Jiang Xiao.

"Put it on, they can't expose the guild's position." The steward said, putting a hood on his head.

Jiang Xiaotan put on the hood as he was told, but the hood actually leaked light slightly. His eyesight was very good and he could still see things around him clearly.

Then the man in black handed over two ropes and asked the two of them to hold one end of the rope and follow them.

Jiang Xiaotan saw one of the men in black pull the lampstand behind the door, and a secret door appeared in the house.

"There are stairs, be careful." The man in black who led the way reminded, while holding the rope and leading the two people into the secret door.

Behind the door is a staircase leading underground, and after reaching the bottom, there is a long corridor.

After passing through the corridor, there is another complicated maze, and there are also mechanisms. The man in black will remind the two of them to "turn", "back up", "take three steps diagonally to the right" and so on.

After walking around in circles for about an hour, the man in black told them that they could take off their hoods.

The destination is in a cave, with lights lit everywhere and arranged like a small bar.

There were all kinds of people sitting around, including a tall and mean-looking person like the man in black, a fat man dressed like a businessman with a smile on his face, and a hot-looking older sister wearing gauze, who looked like she was engaged in a serious career.

.

There are also various races of people. For example, the big sisters have long ears and should be elves. There are also orcs and lizard people.

This is Constantine's Assassin's Guild, which has a nice name to the outside world - "The Wandering Hotel".

Many of the people who were entrusted ended their lifelong wandering by relying on the services arranged here and were sent back to their hometowns. Of course, most of the people who could return to their hometowns were souls, and the body did not have this treatment.

The manager brought Jiang Xiaotan to the bar. There was a sweet-looking dwarf girl here. She greeted with a smile: "Would you like to order a drink or do you have something else?"

The petite girl showed her beautiful dimples when she smiled, and when she said "something else," she made a motion of wiping her neck with her hand.

The steward handed over the ciphered letter and said, "Please decipher these letters."

"Oh, this kind of thing is much more expensive than killing someone. Is that okay?" The girl took the letter and still kept smiling.

The steward then handed over the bag of gold coins and said, "Do you think this money is enough?"

The dwarf girl took the money bag, poured the gold coins on the counter, counted out some of them, and pushed the remaining coins in front of the manager: "These are enough. We can also help you kill a few people at a discount. There is such a thing

Need it?"

The steward smiled awkwardly, took back the gold coins in change, and said, "No need, just decipher the letter."

"Oh, that's a pity. Our store's methods are always very clean and we won't harm our clients."

"It's not that I doubt your guild's professionalism, it's just that there is really no demand in this area."

"Well, please believe in our credo - it is always easier to solve the problem than to solve the problem."

"Been taught a lesson."

"Then, it will take about two weeks to decipher the cipher text. If the cipher text is complicated, it will take even longer. Will you come to pick it up in person or will we send someone to deliver it to your door?"

"Please send it directly to the 'Skin of Stigmata' guild."

"I understand, it turns out you are half a fellow traveler."

"Uh, this..."

"Humans and vampires are pretty much the same to kill... Since we are traveling together, would you like another drink? The cider in our store is the best of Constantine's, and you can't usually drink it."

"Okay, let's have two glasses." The steward obviously looked defeated by this sharp-tongued little girl. He took out a gold coin and ordered two glasses of cider.

The two of them didn't find a seat, so they leaned against the bar and drank.

"This wine is really good." Jiang Xiaotan took a sip and praised.

It is true that the cider here is very delicious. Special spices may be added to make it taste very sweet and delicious.

"Of course." The girl at the bar smiled sweetly with her dimples again.

"Is there any news worth noting?" the steward asked while tasting the wine.

The girl tilted her head: "News? On Britta Island, the consort of the Queen of Winged Men, Prince Purifi, has died. This should be considered a big news, right?"

Britta Island is an island located in the north of the Western Continent. It is the country of the Winged People.

"Ah, that prince seems to have lived for a long time, right? Did he die at the end of his life?"

"What do you think of the news leaked from our store?"

From what the girl said, it seemed that the old prince had been assassinated.

However, although this news is very exciting, it is only something thousands of miles away. Manager Haite sighed a few words, then changed the subject and asked: "Is there any local news?"

"Local? Let me think about it... By the way, there seems to be some news that may have something to do with you."

"What?"

The girl did not continue speaking, but pointed out two fingers.

Manager Haite understood what the other party meant and immediately handed over two gold coins.

The girl came forward very satisfied and whispered: "I heard that the church has a heretic inquisitor who is a vampire."

After hearing this, Jiang Xiao said with a smile: "General manager, you spent these two gold coins a bit unjustly."
