The carved wooden door of the guard camp hall in Bena City was pushed open from the outside.
The cold wind carried snowflakes and blew into the hall. The two guard battalion knights on duty in the hall quickly stood up from the stove in the corner and squinted at the door of the hall.
Standing in Fengxue was a demon hunter wearing worn-out leather armor. He had a long dagger hanging on his waist and a hunting bow on his back. He strode into the hall from outside. The snow on his legs was almost frozen.
It turned into thick scabs, and he stamped his feet on the floor hard, and the snow fell on the floor.
The cold wind blew away the last bit of warmth in the hall. Even if there was a fire in the fireplace, there was still no warmth at all.
There are five knights on duty in the guard camp hall, and three of them are sleeping on makeshift wooden beds behind the bar. They are responsible for keeping watch for the rest of the night.
Two knights from the guard camp stood up and asked the witcher at the door: "What happened?"
“I found a black magician in the hotel...” Kagel Coward closed the wooden door and said to the two guard camp knights.
The two guard battalion knights looked at each other, walked to the side of the demon hunter Cagel Coward, took out a sheepskin booklet and a quill pen, began to understand the situation seriously, and told Cagel Coward.\n
Ward carefully recorded what he said.
The other three knights from the guard camp slowly walked out from behind the bar. The knight captain walked over with a sleepy look on his face and asked the knight on duty: "What's going on again?"
“This gentleman said he found traces of a black magician at the Walled House Hotel.” The knight on duty reported to the knight captain.
The knight captain frowned and looked at Cagel Coward seriously for a long time before slowly asking: "What is your name?"
“Cagle Coward, sir,” he said.
“Are you a hunter?” the knight captain glanced at the hunting bow he was carrying behind him and asked.
“Yes, sir!” Cagle Coward puffed up his chest and said.
The knight captain nodded slightly and said to Cagel Coward: "Wait a minute, I need to report this matter to my superiors."
Cagel Coward glanced at the dark window and lowered his head in disappointment.
The knight captain walked towards the second floor, and the sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor gradually disappeared.
The two guard camp knights who came out from behind were wearing leather armor and complained to Cagel Coward: "Actually, you should have come earlier. At this time, it will be very difficult to capture, especially if the opponent is a magician.
division."
The two knights from the guard camp who were on duty at night also came over at this time. One of them walked to the door, opened the wooden door and took a look outside.
The cold wind filled the room with snow flakes, and the knight quickly closed the door.
…
At the Bena Guard Camp, a battalion captain will stay on guard until late at night every night.
The person on duty tonight at the guard camp headquarters happens to be Viscount Dan Kincaid, the captain of the second battalion. This viscount originally ranked about sixteenth among the nineteen captains of the Bena City guard battalion. However,
Due to his outstanding performance in the Maca plane, he was appreciated by Grand Knight Glenn, the leader of the Bena City Guard Battalion, so he has also attracted much attention in the guard camp recently.
The knight captain stood outside the office on the second floor and knocked on the door. When he heard someone in the room answering, he opened the door and walked in.
The lighting in the room is very soft, and a knight sitting at the desk is reviewing documents with his head lowered.
The knight captain took three steps forward, stood up straight and said:
“Lord Viscount Kincaid, a hunter reported that he discovered a black magician at the Ring Tower Hotel.”
Viscount Kincaid frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Shouldn't the investigation of black magicians be reported to the Magic Union Law Enforcement Group? When did dealing with these black magicians become a matter for the security camp?"
He was on duty tonight at the guard camp headquarters. He originally wanted to take a bus back to the temporary residence next to the guard camp if nothing happened after a while. His fifth wife was waiting there tonight, and he originally wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Watching the snowy scenery, drinking some wine with my young wife, and having some more in-depth communication, but now it seems that these plans are all coming to nothing.
Viscount Kincaid leaned back slightly displeased.
After nightfall, the temperature in the room dropped quickly, and the hand holding the pen became stiff unconsciously. He rubbed his hands vigorously.
The knight captain did not answer, what could he say?
Viscount Kincaid glanced at the knight captain in front and asked again: "Where is the messenger?"
“Just downstairs.” The knight captain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied quickly.
Viscount Kincaid stood up, put on his thick leather coat and gloves and said to the knight captain: "Let's go and see him!"
Viscount Kincaid walked out of the office, followed by a group of personal guards from the next room. These were a knight squad that originally belonged to Viscount Kincaid. After Viscount Kincaid was promoted to captain of the second brigade of the guard battalion, they
A group of knights became Viscount Kincaid's personal bodyguards.
Although these personal guards do not wear expensive magic pattern suits, they more or less have one or two magic pattern structures on their bodies. The weapons they are equipped with are also very sophisticated. The equipment of these knights makes the knight captain a little envious.
A group of people came down from the second floor with cheers. Viscount Kincaid was at the front. He immediately saw Cagle Coward standing in the hall.
“Where is the black magician?” Viscount Kincaid couldn’t help but asked as he stood at the top of the stairs.
“In the room on the third floor in the north area of the Walled House Hotel.” Cagle Coward immediately replied, trying to stand up straight.
Coming down the stairs was a knight wearing magic patterns. The gold sword and shield badge on his chest showed that his status was very high in the guard camp.
Viscount Kincaid looked at Cagel Coward seriously, and then ordered the knight captain beside him:
“Let’s check whether this matter is true and credible now. If it is really a black magician, try to notify the Magic Union Law Enforcement Group. Our security battalion should not interfere easily!”
The knight captain immediately replied: "Yes, captain."
Viscount Kincaid asked again: "Have you figured out the specific route?"
The knight captain replied: "He just said he was willing to lead the way. It is estimated that it will be very difficult to capture him on this snowy night."
Kincaid walked to the window, glanced at the dark night and the snowy sky through the window, turned to the knight captain and asked: "Which squadron is on duty today? Inform them, and everyone is ready to take action..."
The knight captain immediately stood up straight and agreed: "Yes, Lord Viscount!"
After a while, the gate of the guard camp was pushed open by the guards. Viscount Kincaid led a group of guard camp knights on horseback and walked to the long street in the howling wind and snow.
On the streets on a snowy night, heavy snow has completely covered the roads, and not even the night watchman can be seen on the empty streets.
The street lamps on the streets emitted a faint light, and a group of knights from the guard battalion galloped past the lamps.
…
A group of knights from the Guard Battalion followed the witcher Cagle.\nCoward rushed into the Gate Hotel, and the sound of horse hooves was masked by the wind and snow.
The person in charge of the Weilou Hotel came out of the warm hall with a smile on his face and asked a group of knights from the guard camp: "Master knights... Is there anything I can do for you?"
Viscount Kincaid rode his horse to the front, surrounded by a group of knights from the guard camp.
When the hotel manager saw the badge on Viscount Kincaid's chest, he immediately lowered his posture and said quickly: "Sir Viscount, what do you need?"
"Take me to the north area of the hotel. Our informant provided clues and found the whereabouts of the black magician in the north area of the hotel. We will conduct a routine search!" Kincaid said to the hotel manager with a straight face.
He said without even looking at him.
The hotel manager was slightly startled and quickly walked in front of the horse.
Viscount Kincaid dismounted from his horse, held a saber in one hand, and walked towards the hotel. A group of personal guards followed him closely.
The hotel manager hurriedly followed and explained to Viscount Kincaid:
"Lord Viscount, the north area of our hotel belongs to the accommodation area for nobles. The north building is divided into four floors. Except for the first floor where a small number of escorts and entourage live, the second, third and fourth floors have noble accommodation... Which floor do you want to start from?
We started checking and found out that the registration book here has the signatures of noble gentlemen."
As he spoke, he waved to the waiter in front of the bar and motioned for him to bring the register.
“Is the North District an exclusive area for nobles?” Viscount Kincaid was also slightly startled, stopped and asked the hotel manager.
The hotel manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and said quickly: "That's it. The identities of all the nobles have been verified."
“Take me to see...” Viscount Kincaid said.
The hotel manager quickly led the way, and a group of people passed through the inner courtyard corridor and headed straight to the north area.
Dozens of carriages were parked in the courtyard of the Enclosed Hotel. Although most of the carriages were covered with a thick layer of snow, Viscount Kincaid could still tell from those gorgeous magic carriages that the hotel manager must not have lied.
There are some nobles staying in this hotel.
Viscount Kincaid took the knights from the guard camp to the downstairs of the north area of the hotel.
The hotel manager glared at Cagle Coward angrily, wishing to strangle him to death on the spot. He was such a troublemaker. Why didn't he freeze to death in the inner corridor in the past few days? Instead, he brought a group of guard camp knights to search the north area of the hotel.
, regardless of whether the search is fruitful or not, this search will have a huge impact on the Weilou Hotel.
The reason why travelers choose Weilou Hotel is nothing more than a few factors: the hotel’s hardware facilities, the hotel’s own services and the favorable price.
A hotel that is constantly in trouble will never be accepted by the nobles. The hotel manager felt that his head was spinning several times in an instant.
“Which floor is the black magician you are following?” Viscount Kincaid turned back to the demon hunter Kagel Coward and asked.
“Third floor!” Cagel Coward said decisively.
At this time, the hotel manager walked half a step slowly, and took the opportunity to take the registration book and winked at the waiter. The waiter stepped back with understanding and quietly communicated with other waiters in the hotel.
Viscount Kincaid took a deep look at Cagel Coward. He waved his hand to a group of guard camp knights behind him, gesturing for everyone to stay downstairs.
With only a five-person bodyguard knight squad, he climbed the stairs under the leadership of the hotel manager.
