Surprise Hotel

Chapter 319 - Playing It By Ear

Lü Criminal is also sitting at ease, if someone lets him, he will do it.

After all, in his eyes, these should be the settings triggered by his own player's aura, surrounded by NPCs, it is not too much of a stretch to have a player in a position where he is the star of the show.

What he was thinking about now was what the black-robed Holy Envoy was up to.

As he couldn't hear any useful information in the room, Lv Criminal couldn't sit still.

He pushed out the door, and ended up meeting the guard in front of the door at eye level.

"Where are you going?" The guard questioned.

"Ah, I ...... was startled, then said, "I want to go to the bathroom."

"What a lazy donkey." The guard pulled a donkey face, full of disgust, "Go go go! Don't go anywhere, after the Holy Envoy finishes his meal, we will leave for the Paladin's Guild in the city-state in the afternoon!"

"Understood, understood." Although Lu Zheng had clenched his fists, he still didn't do anything to this small character in order to avoid unnecessary conflict. He only cursed two words in a broken whisper as he turned around.

After successfully leaving the area where the chosen ones were waiting, Lü Criminal began to stroll along.

He didn't really need to go to the bathroom, but he just felt a bit bored with all the people crowding together.

As he passed behind the main house, he heard the sounds of clinking glasses and joking inside the room.

The window of the room was open, and he curiously leaned over and hid himself there to peek in.

The black-robed ambassador in the room had taken off his hood, revealing a thin face, and sitting across from him was a man with a magnificent moustache, both of whom were filled with fish and meat.

The moustache man raised his glass in a toast, and the black-robed ambassador smiled and clinked glasses with him.

"You are amazing, you took care of so many people at once, my lord will be very happy!" The little moustache praised.

The black-robed holy envoy smiled indifferently, "These fools are easy to fool. The people I have chosen are all strong and sturdy, so I have no problem sending them to your family's mines to do hard labor.

"I feel good about it, too, and my lord will be pleased!" The moustache guy poured wine for the black-robed ambassador, "In the afternoon, our caravan will arrive, and we will load them into the truck. As soon as we succeed in getting the people to the place, I will immediately pay the rest of the money to you."

"Good, it's a deal!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Zheng was shocked.

It turned out that the "Paladin Selection" mentioned by the black-robed holy envoy was a cover-up, and the identity of the black-robed holy envoy was also fake, his real identity was a human trafficker.

No wonder he chose strong men to be dragged into slavery in the mines.

Once they were sold there, they could never come back.

That explains why there were so few strong men in the village, and those who went out never came back.

"Hey, that guy, what's he doing there?" The guards suddenly appeared and shouted.

Alarmed, Lu Zheng quickly got up and made a motion to rub his back against the wall.

"Oh, I just came back from the toilet, and my back is itchy, so I'm looking for a wall to rub against. Why don't you come and scratch it for me?"

"Go away go away! And you want me to scratch it for you, don't you? Once you've solved the internal emergency, go back to your room and stay there!" The guards said impatiently, waving Lu Pun away.

"Okay, okay." Lü Zheng pretended to be afraid and quickly slunk away.

Fortunately, these NPCs were all simpletons, or else they would have had to do it on the spot.

He quickly returned to the room, wanting to tell the ignorant villagers the secret of the black robed man and the moustache.

But when he was about to open his mouth, he held his tongue.

These villagers were foolish people, and if he told them, they would not believe him. Their deep-rooted worship of the Paladin and the envelope was so deep that it would be difficult to break the confinement of this belief just by one's own words.

In that case, Lü would be attacked as a stumbling block to their bright and promising future.

However, the other side was just NPCs, and players who beat up NPCs would not know if their credibility would be deducted.

So he decided not to say anything.

After returning to his seat, he opened the players' exclusive team communication channel and contacted Xano and the others.

"Comrades, amazing insider, first-hand news, fresh and hot."

"Why does it sound like you went to the toilet to pick the toilet paper leak it, get a first-hand still hot ......" Ning Wu翳 response.

"You shut up! This is no time for jokes!" Luthor snapped.

"What insider?" Shaynor gave his reply, "We were on guard nearby, watching you all the way into a dwelling."

"We are currently resting in this dwelling, where the black-robed man and a moustache are eating," Luthor said.

"Brother, do you have food to eat? Can I get in there and scrounge?" Yuengling asked.

"No, we don't have food to eat. I just overheard the conversation between the black robed man and the moustache guy. They aren't actually from the Paladin's Guild, they are just posing as Paladins to recruit strong men and sell them to work in the mines!"

"What?" Shano was shocked, "This group of guys ...... is just awful! Don't be impulsive now, let's go on and see what happens."

"Well, that's what I was thinking just now, this group of fools are so deeply compelled that they won't believe whatever I say, so I decided to make the best of it and follow them to their final destination. Maybe we can find their stronghold and rescue the other trapped villagers."

"Yes, you're right. Don't worry, we'll follow you in the dark, and we'll always keep in touch."

"Good!"

Knowing that his teammates were nearby, Lu Zheng felt much relieved.

He and the villagers stayed in the room for a few moments, and then suddenly there was the sound of carriages coming from outside.

Lv Zheng pushed aside the crowd at the window and looked outside, only to see several carriages with long carriages parked outside the door.

The guards shouted, "Greetings," and the black-robed man and the moustache man came out of the house.

Then the people were called out, led by the guards, assigned to carriages, and gradually boarded them.

The carriages were strange, completely sealed, with no windows. Although there were gaps between the wooden planks, it was impossible to see the scenery outside.

Lü Criminal realized that it was probably the Black Robes who were worried that the villagers might find themselves in the wrong place halfway and jump off the train to escape. Or, they were worried that they would remember the way home, so they made up a mystery.

The door of the carriage was closed, and then there was a sound of a chain outside.

Obviously, the compartment was locked.

But this kind of defense was almost useless to a power level like Lv Zheng's. But he didn't make any move, just a little bit.

But he didn't make any move, just sat quietly in the carriage.

He knew very well that now was not the time to take action.

When the fools came to their senses, that's when he stepped forward to be their savior.

It's like someone covering his eyes, no matter how strong the sunlight is, it can't penetrate his sight. ......
