"Let's find a place to settle her down first." Meg glanced at the timid little girl, and pondered for a while before looking at the stone alley.
"Fellow townsman, I'll leave this child to you. Please take good care of her." Five minutes later, Meg knocked on Hannah's door again. Then, he passed the child to her while she was still in a daze, and closed the courtyard door for her.
"Seems like tonight's chaos was indeed a trap set by Gary. He intends to do a thorough cleanup before the conferring ceremony." Meg frowned, and said, "In that case, Ferdinand is most likely not locked up in the other prisons and dungeons. It's more likely that he's in the palace."
"Are we attacking the palace tonight?" Irina's eyes lit up slightly.
"We're not familiar with the palace, so it's not suitable for us to sneak in. Moreover, the other party has at least four 10th-tier powerhouses. It's not a good idea to attack by force, either." Meg shook his head.
"Then, we can only sit back and do nothing?" Irina frowned.
"Connie should have arrived by now. According to our agreement, she'll come and look for us. We can leave the assassination to her. She knows the palace better than any of us."
"Is that really the case?"
"Probably … that's the case." Meg suddenly lost his confidence.
"Since that bald master of hers dared to let her out, we should give her the space and opportunity to unleash her potential. I don't believe that the Hairless Monk, who finally took in a disciple after growing out his hair, would really ignore her and watch her die." Meg smiled, and said, "If I'm not wrong, he should be following behind Connie not far away. No one would feel at ease letting such a disciple out."
"You've become sly." Irina looked at Meg.
"The world has changed."
"I like it."
"Uh …"
…
"Main kitchen … Main kitchen … Where exactly is the main kitchen? Usually, my meals are sent directly to the palace. How would I know where the main kitchen is? " Connie squatted at the top of a big tree and poked her fingers, feeling wronged. She didn't expect that she would be so confused as soon as she entered the city.
After staying on the tree for a while and making sure that it was impossible for her to find the main kitchen with her eyes alone in the dark night, she slid down the tree trunk and secretly grabbed an orc from between two groups of people who were fighting not far away.
"I have something to ask you. If you tell me nicely, I'll let you go. If you lie to me, I'll kill you." The masked Connie pressed his sharp claws against the orc's neck like three knives.
"I … I'll tell you everything. Don't kill me …" The orc felt a chill on his neck and said in a trembling voice.
"Tell me where the main kitchen is!" Connie demanded coldly.
"Hmm?" That orc was obviously stunned. Everyone he met tonight was asking about Young Master Ferdinand's whereabouts. Why would someone ask about the main kitchen? Could it be that this petite but ruthless black-clothed orc wanted to have a meal?
"If you don't tell me, I'll kill you." Connie retracted her claws a little, and the sharp cold glint cut his neck.
"I'll tell you! The main kitchen is in the west of the city. Follow this path and walk all the way to the west. The main kitchen is in the biggest courtyard, "that orc quickly agreed, afraid that he would get a boxed meal for no reason because of a kitchen.
"The west?" Connie looked around and pondered seriously for a while. She pulled that orc out from the wall and pressed her sharp claws against his back. "Bring me there!"
"I …" That orc had an innocent look. Who did he offend? He was sent to suppress someone who broke into the prison in the middle of the night, and now he was kidnapped for no reason. However, the chill behind him was too chilling, so he had no choice but to bring Connie to the west.
"You've learned how to find people. That's a good start." Rex stood on the wall far away, and nodded with satisfaction as he watched Connie dragging that orc away quickly.
About 10 minutes later, that orc stopped outside an alley. He pointed to a big courtyard not far away, and said, "That's the main kitchen. Can you let me go?"
"There's the aroma of food." Connie sniffed with her nose and nodded. She thought for a while, and removed her claws from that orc's back. She pretended to be arrogant, and said, "You can scram now!"
That orc immediately turned and ran after hearing that. He turned into the alley, and soon disappeared without a trace.
"Why are you running so fast? I'm not going to kill you." Connie looked suspiciously in the direction that the orc disappeared in, and then walked towards the main kitchen. The Falk Tribe was in a mess now, and she didn't know where she should go or what to do. She had to find Boss to get her mission first.
"Phew …"
That orc ran through half of the inner city in one go, and took seven to eight turns before leaning against a wall and panting heavily.
"That woman just now should be Princess Connie, right? Pink and white ears, and a petite figure. She's the only one in the Falk Tribe. " That orc looked excited. "Her bounty is as high as 10,000,000 copper coins. I'll go and report it now, and get someone to capture her!"
"You don't have to." A tall black shadow appeared at the entrance of the alley, and walked over slowly.
"W-who are you?!" that orc asked nervously as he hurriedly drew out the longsword hanging from his waist.
"I hate talking nonsense with dead people the most." That person appeared in front of the orc, and then gave him a punch.
The longsword shattered under the iron fist, and that orc's horrified face was also shattered at the same time.
"This lass is still too soft-hearted." Rex kicked that orc into a pile of rocks, and then turned to leave.
Connie climbed over the wall and entered the kitchen. She ran one round on the roof, and was about to dash in that direction when she decided on a direction.
"I say, where are you going?" A low voice sounded.
"Woah!"
Connie was shocked, and her sharp claws were already out. She turned around and heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Meg, who was sitting on the roof, and asked in surprise, "Boss, why are you here? Aren't you cold in the wind? "
"Of course not." Meg rubbed his hands and stood up. He stayed on the roof in the middle of the night because he was afraid that this fellow would be confused and lose his way. He was about to go down when he couldn't help but ask Connie curiously, "Where were you going to look for us just now?"
"The kitchen. Don't you usually stay in the kitchen? I'm a professional assassin, so I still have this bit of judgment, "Connie said matter-of-factly, and even revealed an 'I'm very smart' smile on her face.
"There are indeed not many assassins like you." Meg nodded with a complicated expression. He suddenly didn't understand why Rex wanted to take this disciple. Wasn't it obvious that Rex wanted him to lose his integrity in his later years?
It wouldn't be strange at all if she accidentally killed her employer!
