Chapter 414
Chapter 414
"That is, the king did not know the news at first, it was Gaca who advocated the siege of the city, oh, Gaca is the adjutant of the escort of the kingdom of Alabastan.
Klockdar sent a letter to the king, who immediately ordered the withdrawal of his troops, and later gave Klockdar a commendation. Hanan
and the others looked at each other, and there was a hint of color in their eyes, although they had long heard that this Klockdar was very prestigious, but they did not expect that it was this level, even the king could not compare with him.
Hicks' eyebrows fluttered and continued to praise: "If it weren't for Klockdahl's efforts to turn the tide, 'Nahana' would have been cut off long ago, and I would definitely not be able to do this business, and I must not have seen you."
Jessica retorted, "I don't think it's all Klockdar's, right?"
The king would rather let his henchmen suffer from the new base, and he did not cut the grass and remove the roots, if you want to thank the king, you should thank the king, right? And Klockdaran's is not necessarily kind!
Hicks' face was very ugly and displeased: "What do you know as a little girl?" I said before that I was just that, how can I slander the great hero of Alabastan! I don't want to earn this money of yours yet! Saying
that, he actually flicked his sleeves away, and seemed to be very angry.
Hanan hurriedly grabbed him and told him not to be angry, and said two more words to Jessica, and Krabatel was also good at persuading him to say something bad before letting Hicks sit down again.
Jessica was already worried about Princess Vivi, but today, almost everyone trusted Klockdahl.
Even blind worship, coupled with extreme dissatisfaction with this profiteer Hicks, anger also breeds in the heart.
"Hanan, I'm sleepy, go back to rest first, if there is any important news, just tell me when you come back!" After that, Jessica left without looking back.
"Hey, Boss Hicks smiled," Hanan said, "She's this straightforward nature, don't be surprised."
After all, Hicks was older, and he didn't want to meet the little girl, and said, "It's okay, it's okay!"
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased and there should be no possibility of making a move, Akin returned to his seat and sat down, but his gaze towards Hicks was still guarded.
"Brother Hannan, what else do you want to know, although the price is negotiable, don't say bad things about our heroes!"
Hanan quickly agreed, thought about it, and then asked Hicks: "Isn't the Katrea you just said is a neutral place?" Why did I hear that there is still some fighting over there?
"The so-called neutral place is limited to the city of Katrea itself and its surrounding area, but its neighboring towns are not within the range, and the rebels are in difficulty in supply, whether it is weapons or food, they are very scarce, and they must send troops to rob it."
Except, of course, the D.C. Nahana.
Hanan said, "Then go to Katrea, how should I go?"
"As I said just now, if you want to go now, you can only pass through the desert area, although the distance is not far, if you are fast, you can reach it on the same day, but without a guide who is familiar with the terrain to lead the way, if you are unlucky, it will be light to get lost, and you may even worry about your life."
Han Nan listened to him very solemnly, thinking that it should be true, "Then the boss has a reliable guide who is familiar with him?"
Hicks suddenly slapped his thigh and laughed heartily: "But coincidentally, I happen to go to Katrea tomorrow to deliver goods, if Brother Hanan is willing, and the cost of this way, hehe, if you don't mind much, you can go together."
"Oh? What a coincidence! Hanan stared at Hicks for a long time before saying, "In this case, if you don't bother the two masters, there is Boss Lauchix."
"Good to say, good to say!"
When the matter was finalized, Hanan paid to consult some news, mainly about the situation in the Kingdom of Alabastan, and finally asked about the general situation of 'Rain Land'.
Hicks answered almost everything, and spoke in detail, which made Hanan understand a lot of things.
It was late at night, and the three of them said goodbye to Hicks and returned to their residence, where Jessica had not yet rested and was waiting for them.
As soon as Hanan sat down, Jessica whispered: "Hanan, I came back and thought about it for a long time, there is definitely something wrong with this Hicks!"
Krabattel still had something to discuss with Hanan, and did not go back to listen: "Yes, this Hicks does have something strange, and he seems to be very attentive to us, I guess he already knows our identity."
What's more, how could there be such a coincidence, he also happened to go to Catreia! "
What?" Jessica had just left first, not knowing that she would be traveling with Hicks tomorrow.
Hanan quickly told her the itinerary, and Jessica was even more suspicious.
Seeing that the partners had doubts, Hanan persuaded softly: "This boss's plot, I can't see it for the time being, from the current point of view, it seems that there is no hostility, although the asking price is not low, but it does give very important information, and it is also counted as a penny, not wronged!"
His tone suddenly changed: "Observe him more, if it is really bad for us, it is better to keep him around."
Hanan smiled at Krabattel again: "Chief of Staff, you are the best at looking at people's skills, so you might as well communicate with him more tomorrow." The
few discussed for a while, and each went back to his room to rest.
Hanami lay on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time, his mind full of scenes of Klockdar killing pirates, and those weird headless corpses.
On the second day, as soon as it was dawn, Akin woke up his partners, except for the party last night, the other few people did not know that the itinerary had changed, Hanan simply said, and everyone went to prepare.
The Vulture is still docked in the port of Nahana, and although Hicks says that it is safe and can even send someone to take care of it, Krabattel does not believe him, and after discussing with Hannan, plans to let Jessica and Carmen stay, but Jessica is adamantly opposed.
Coincidentally, Qiao suddenly felt unwell, not only chest tightness, shortness of breath, general fatigue, but also mild nausea and abdominal pain.
According to these symptoms, Harvey probably had a guess, and after the examination, as he expected, Joe was unsatisfied, and everyone was surprised, although the elf Joe looked relatively thin, but his physical fitness was very outstanding.
Harvey also diagnosed the cause.
Elves are close to the living substances in nature, especially for plants such as trees, flowers and plants, and Joe, as an elf race, is of course no exception, more suitable for places with lush vegetation and sufficient moisture.
The climate and environment of Alabastan, on the contrary, except for the oasis, the plants are almost nowhere to be seen, and there are sand dunes and deserts everywhere, even in the oasis.
The vegetation is also mostly dry and drought-tolerant varieties, coupled with the drought in recent years, no rain has fallen, the weather is drier, stuffy, and water molecules in the air are also rare.
