【162】Basel, Switzerland(1/2)
Gemma calmly withdrew her hand and whispered: "...Gemma is very touched that the count can help me to this extent!"
After the four of them settled in and took a short rest, Gemma began to try to contact her 'illegitimate brother' whom she had never met.
Basel has a long history, is adjacent to the Rhine River, and has convenient transportation. It once made an important contribution to European trade transshipment in the Middle Ages. Now, although it is divided into Basel City in the north and Basel Township in the south due to urban-rural wars, the city
The scenery was not affected at all...
Basel's City Hall, Basel's Venus Hotel, and Basel's Museum of Fine Arts are all must-visit places for tourists from all over the world.
This morning, the sun was shining brightly. A carriage engraved with the emblem of the nobles stopped in front of the Venus Hotel in Basel. A row of strong men in black stepped out of it and walked up the steps quickly. Their heads were covered with thick hat brims.
She was covering herself up, with her hands in her pockets, and a pair of brand new and shiny leather boots making a clattering sound in the empty hotel lobby.
There was no one in the hotel. The lobby manager stared with fear in his eyes. As he watched these fierce men in black approaching, he touched the button of the clock under the counter. The back of his neck was covered with beads of sweat.
"Don't be a robber, don't be a robber... Yes, definitely not a robber. If you are a robber, why don't you go to those banks that are extremely rich? Everyone knows that the big buildings in Basel are...
Our hotel is the least worthy of robbery!"
..
The lobby manager was thinking silently in his mind, and the leading man in black also walked to the counter.
There was a loud "pop" sound. The lobby supervisor thought it was a gunshot. He closed his eyelids and twitched his fingers, and almost pressed the bell. However, when he opened his eyes, he found that the sound was just an object hitting the door.
Made from marble counters.
The leading man in black pressed his huge palm on the thing, and said in a dull voice with a foreign accent: "Stay in the hotel, I want eighteen special rooms! Are there any?"
Huh, I really came here to stay...
The lobby manager let out a deep breath, and quickly moved his wet fingers away from the button that was only 0.01 centimeters away from the touch. He smiled and said: "Yes. Yes, there are vacancies. There are many vacancies... Dear guests, please, please tell me your estimate."
How many days will you stay?”
The lobby manager, who has fifteen years of experience in running a hotel, unexpectedly asked for help with his tongue. This made him very annoyed, and he secretly cursed these men in black for wearing black clothes and pretending to be 'robbers'!
The leading man in black pondered for a moment and said: "The time is uncertain... a month!"
"Okay, let's calculate it by one month first!"
The lobby supervisor skillfully took out the abacus and fiddled with it for a while. Then he showed the most charming smile and said: "Eighteen special rooms, stay for one month...the total cost is 6,720 francs...the room fee will be settled in one week."
Once...Now, please pay a deposit of two thousand francs!"
"We don't have any francs. Just watch and buckle them. If you don't have enough, don't worry!"
The man in black snorted, pushed the square object wrapped in black cloth forward on the counter, and then said slightly arrogantly: "Where is the receptionist? Take us to the room. Also, we will be with you for three meals a day.
That’s the solution. Remember, not bread, but rice! Not Burgundy wine, but the strongest vodka!”
The lobby supervisor looked at the black thing, feeling as if he was so bitter that he could squeeze out the water. He deliberately asked, "Can you pay in cash?" But when he saw the sturdy backs of the men in black,
He couldn't help but choke on his saliva and swallowed all the words.
"Hurry up and take the guest upstairs... Eat and drink according to the guest's instructions, be smart..."
The lobby supervisor called the young receptionist and gave him instructions, as if he were treating a married daughter. He was very verbose to the extreme.
There is no other reason, because the lobby supervisor took a surprised look and saw a dark pistol on the waist of the leading man in black! It was also a German product engraved with the Mauser logo!
"These are a bunch of evil stars! Those who want to drink vodka are probably those barbaric Slavs in the east! Well, let's waste money and eliminate disasters. As long as they don't make trouble, I will have fulfilled my responsibility!"
After the group of men in black disappeared in the lobby, the lobby manager finally put his heart down, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought happily.
At this time, he focused his attention on the black cloth bag.
"Okay, let me see what this thing is. As long as it's not too rubbish, it can always make up for the room fee..." The lobby manager muttered to himself and opened the black cloth bag casually. As a result, there was a burst of noise from inside.
The golden light, like an immortal's immobilization spell, made him freeze instantly.
This, this, this is a lot of...gold bars!
After waiting for a long time, the lobby supervisor's yellow eyes were able to move. He quickly threw himself on the black cloth bag and looked around carefully, causing the waiter who was cleaning not far away to secretly
Shaking his head: "It's terrible, it's terrible. The supervisor was so frightened that he became abnormal. It's better not to mess with him today!"
The lobby supervisor carefully wrapped the black cloth and walked to the rest room at the back like a thief. He felt the weight on his hand and estimated that the black cloth bag was probably no more than 15 kilograms. If it were all gold bars...
Well, these evil stars turned out to be the God of Wealth. Let me tell you, God frightened me. It turned out that he wanted to use windfall to compensate!
This episode happened at the Venus Hotel, but in a hotel two blocks away, two young men with oriental faces walked out of the door happily, looking around with interest as they walked.
The two of them walked along the river in the city. If they saw a bird landing on the bank along the way, they would pick up stones and hit them. If they hit, they would laugh loudly. If they didn't hit, they would curse. This made the passersby look contemptuous.
, most of them quickened their pace and left quickly.
"Master, didn't we come out to follow Princess Gemma? Why did we come here to hunt birds and make people angry..."
The younger of the two young men threw stones and complained in a low voice: "If we stay any longer, I'm afraid the Basel patrols will come to drive us away!"
This childish speaker is Breeze.
If the breeze is here, then the other one is naturally Long Hao, Earl of Beihai.
Long Hao chuckled, threw a stone, hit the target, and knocked out a poor bird drinking water on the shore: "Who told you to follow Gemma? Breeze. The young master always has a purpose in doing things.
It's just a few birds, and they're not yours, so why are you so impatient?"
Breeze wondered: "Don't follow Gemma? Master, didn't you ask me to monitor her every move?"
"Stupid, surveillance is surveillance, tracking is tracking. These are two different things!"
Long Hao waved his hand again, and a pebble hit Wei Feng's crotch, causing the first disciple of the Alchemy Sect to tremble and his face turned extremely green.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Master, please be merciful. Do you want Wei Feng to be the last to succeed?"
"It's better to be a queen. You are so stupid, so you just castrated yourself and entered the palace! I am already the king of a country, and I just need a confidant eunuch in the harem. Well, this fat man will be an advantage for you!"
Long Hao snorted: "You don't have to think too much about what you do. If you follow Gemma now, what kind of success will you get? She will definitely find her brother. We can just sit back and wait! If we insist on following him, it will only be self-defeating!"
"
"Oh, then why are you hunting birds here...Hey, don't fight, don't fight. The young master is merciful, let Wei Feng think about it carefully!" Seeing Long Hao's hand raised again, Wei Feng hurriedly protected his lower body and repeatedly begged for mercy.
.
Long Hao raised his hand, but this time the stone did not hit Breeze or the river bank. Instead, it missed the target and hit a pedestrian solidly!
"Ouch" screamed. The unlucky pedestrian covered his face in response, blood flowed from his fingers, and suddenly a large area of the street was dyed red.
"Oh no, it's causing trouble!" Wei Feng was startled and rushed over.
"Help...he's dead...go find a doctor quickly!"
Swiss people are very warm-hearted. When they see bloodshed, they immediately drop what they are doing. Some run to call the patrolman on duty, some call for doctors, and some volunteer to run over to check the injured person's injuries.
.
"Don't move, go away, don't make trouble! I'm a doctor, I can cure him!"
Long Hao came over shouting, pushing away the enthusiastic passers-by who tried to approach the injured, and shouted in his mouth: "Hey, I'm telling you, if you act recklessly and harm the injured,
That’s going to jail!”
Who is causing trouble? If the pebbles you hit the birds with were not flying around, could anyone be hurt? This is good, but you are the evil one who complained first, and you still want to sue us and put us in jail?
The enthusiastic person who acted bravely saw the speaker clearly, and his nose suddenly became angry: The perpetrator is an Oriental like you, how dare you shout now?
"Look, what are you looking at? People make mistakes, horses make mistakes, isn't it because the wind is stronger and the stones are blown astray? Do you need to stare at me like this?" Long Hao raised his head.
, and glanced at the surrounding pedestrians with disdain: "Back off, please step back, don't affect the injured's breathing, and don't affect my professional performance! I am a doctor, and I am more professional in treating the injured than you are. Do you understand, laymen!"
"
This was the second time that Long Hao emphasized that he was a doctor. Enthusiastic passers-by were almost mad at his arrogant look: It’s sunny and sunny today, where did the strong wind come from? Also, we also came to save people with good intentions, why did we just come here to save people?
Has he become a layman who gets in your way?
The angry pedestrians simply stopped and surrounded Long Hao from a distance, making up their mind: Hey, as long as you can't cure people, we will act as witnesses and let the police arrest you!
Long Hao and Breeze came to the wounded man lying on the ground and squatted down. Breeze laughed softly and said: "Master, you are quite decent at pretending to be a rogue!"
Long Hao's eyes widened and he said: "It's not big or small! Why are you still standing there? Get some hemostatic medicine quickly to stop his bleeding."
"Ah? I'll treat it?"
Breeze was dumbfounded and had been going on for a long time. The young master hurt someone while playing with flying stones, but he wants me, a poor alchemy apprentice, to spend gold resources to treat him?
Although the hemostatic medicine does not consume a lot of energy, the Breeze family has a small budget, and it is really painful in their hearts!
"If you don't come, how can I come? Who is the young master, you or me?"
Long Hao glanced at the past and said: "This is a good opportunity to practice your ability to temporarily refine medicine. If you are worried about the energy number and shrink away from the battle, it doesn't matter. You are welcome to leave at the Alchemy Gate..."
Long Hao's half-truth and half-false words startled Breeze. He had just tasted the magical taste of alchemy for the first time, so he was not willing to give up! He quickly raised his palms, and the yellowish halo appeared under the cover of his sleeves.
Faintly visible.
"Well, you still have time to talk, Lord Earl, why don't you treat me first!"
Just when Wei Feng resolutely and diligently quietly refined the hemostatic potion, the injured person on the ground let out a buzzing groan.
At first glance, his tone didn't sound like he was seriously injured and bleeding.
