Chapter 88 Little Scout

When Lati woke up, she felt relaxed all over. She missed the comfort of the serious bed, pillows and quilts too much. But this feeling didn't last long. She thought of her dead family and felt ashamed of herself. She hurriedly searched for Dagon and found that the dwarf was sitting on the chair, lying on the back of the chair, looking out the window through the glass.

"Awaken?" said Dagon. "The hotel has brought cookies. If you are hungry, eat some first."

Lati nodded and got out of bed with her shoes obediently. She drank some water first, then picked up the plate of the cookies from the table. The blueberry cookies exuded a strong and sweet smell, and they all looked delicious. She served the cookies to Dagon while eating.

"I'm not hungry." Dagon shook his head.

"Well, that's right. You've had a plate of jasmine-scented cookies, right?"

Dagon twitches his beard. The scent of jasmine should be the smell of Lanli's fragrance. He has never seen jasmine, but he asked Lanli last night, so he was impressed. "There is no second plate of cookies. Lanli came last night and was the sheriff in the town."

"She has been here? I don't know at all!" Lati was startled and asked hurriedly: "Is she coming to harm you?"

"No, and not like." Dagon still looked out the window, answering absent-mindedly. "She was a little weird. I tried to analyze it, just like I analyzed Borge's intentions, but I failed. I only got some vague feelings, no clear answer."

"Oh..." Lati's little face collapsed and she said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you."

"No, you can help." Dagon waved his hand and asked Lati to come to the window. He pointed outside and said, "Look, there is a bakery across the street."

"Well, I know that house, Sweet Finger House. It not only makes daily bread, but also makes cakes. My favorite is their raspberry pie, dove pie and egg tart." Lati blinked and said, "I'm talking a little too much, you said."

"You don't say much, on the contrary, they are very important," said Dagon. "Before dawn, they started preparing. In the early morning, two bell knights came here to pick up a box of such a big size."

Dagon made a gesture and it was a paper box about one meter cubic meter.

"After half an hour, the two knights came back. I noticed that one of them had a swollen left face. They entered the bakery with a box that had been clearly opened and quarreled in it for a while. After that, the two knights left, and the bakery owner smiled and there was a big slap on his face."

"That must have been beaten by the Knights, they were the worst." Lati said.

Dagon nodded. "After that, I noticed that the fat boss had three employees heading to three different directions, which seemed to be very hasty. I think this matter is worth investigating, so I'm going to hand it over to you."

"Me?" Lati's heart beat faster, then nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will try my best to complete it. But what am I going to check?"

"Why did those knights come to the bakery early in the morning to get things? That big box doesn't look like bread."

"It should be a cake," said Lati. "I have seen their paintings at the Sweet Finger Shop. They can make a double-layer cake with butter, honey and frosting. There will be ginger candy villains on it and write blessings. That is the most expensive thing in their shop, priced at 35 gold coins."

"Look, you're helping." Dagon smiled, and Lati was also happy.

"The 35-gold cake is not cheap. It must be used on important occasions or for important people. Since it was brought by the Knight of Bells, it is very likely to be related to Borge. After taking the box, it was sent back. The Knight's face was swollen, and the bakery owner's face was swollen, which means that the person who asked for this thing was not satisfied with it."

"Yeah, that's definitely the case."

"I can't be so sure. All I said is just a possibility. You have to check the specific situation." Dagon said: "I want to know if I am getting the main thing. If so, why should he? Especially if he is preparing for himself or for... the Elf Governor. If he wants to hold a welcome banquet, he must prepare a lot of things in advance, especially food and drink."

Dagon only attended a banquet once, but he learned a lot. Because his mother Corona was a kitchen assistant, his father Tormond had become the lord's consultant at that time, and he participated in the arrangement and coordination of many of the banquet affairs. They would share their experiences, understandings and ideas with Dagon who was trapped in the room and unable to go out. Therefore, Dagon would mobilize the power of the lord's banquet, make all the arrangements, and have an understanding of the overall planning of these aspects.

The banquet for the Neil family in Jian's ancient city to welcome the representatives of the clan meeting was prepared for two weeks, so the banquet for Borge's "Lord" to welcome the Elves Governor. Dagon had this idea after seeing the bakery. Perhaps he could know the itinerary of the Elves Governor or his dispatchers without having to inquire from Lionheart Town.

"Lati, you should be careful when you go there." Dagon said: "I am a member of the Jiangu tribe. The bakery owner will definitely be wary, so I'm not good at asking."

"I know that boss, whose name is Candy Sweet. He is a very friendly person with a very good temper. I believe he will help me." Lati thought for a while and said, "Brother Dargon, can I say that my family is gone and I want to hide in him for a few days?"

"You want to tell him who you are?"

"He might recognize me, so I might as well say it directly. I think those people in Borge are bad people, but it doesn't mean that people in the town will suddenly become bad people. I can help with work in his store, which will also seem more real."

"Will the Bell Knight recognize you?"

"We have only been to the five bell knights in our family. They have all been wiped out by you, so the bad guys should not recognize me." Laty said with confidence: "Sweet's family lives in the town. He has three sons and two daughters. I have seen his daughter in the store. We have a very similar figure and people who are not familiar with them may not be able to tell them."

"You've thought about it all? That's amazing."

"To be honest, it's not impossible to detect information. I won't tell him about the Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce, so as not to let him miss it." Lati said with a smile: "I think you are so awesome when facing the sheriff. They're all the truth, and they tricked her over."

"It's not the case," said Dagon. "I didn't want to lie to her in my heart. I didn't even hate her. Although she was in the same group as Borge, she did not participate in the hijacking of the caravan."

"How do you know?"

"I can see things clearly in the darkness, and she looks easy to identify. There was a woman in the team. She had cast spells, but she was not Lanli. Besides, there was no woman in the team of knights."

"By the way, no one in the town knows what we do. I think it's better to tell him the truth. His child is in the town. He must be afraid that evil people like the Bell Knight will hurt their children, so he is more likely to help us. Didn't the Bell Knight just hit him? A real knight wouldn't do that, only robbers and bandits would."

Dagon touched Lati's hair and said, "I didn't know anything when I was as old as you, I just knew to run and play and play and starve."

"Dwarfs are ten years old, less than two years old than humans, right?" Lati said: "Dwarfs have such a long lifespan. Do they look at humans whose lifespan are less than one-fifths, like humans who look at puppies?"

"That elves look at dwarfs and look at puppies? Forget it, that's not the case." Dagon shook his head and said, "I actually envy humans for learning quickly and their brains quickly. I have lived in Jian Gucheng for sixty years, and the city has not changed in sixty years. Sometimes I wonder: Is the unchanging life a waste of time?"

"I don't know." Lati shook her head: "I think I can live well and not be killed by robbers, even if it remains the same."

"Well... I'm sorry, it reminds you of this." Dagon rubbed Lati's head and messed up her hair, which made her have to sort it out. The simple fight slightly dispelled the sadness, so Dagon continued: "That Lanley asked me to meet outside the town alone tonight, so I may not come back tonight. If you have the chance, you stay in the bakery, where there are people to take care of and food. But this room is still there, you can come back at any time."

"Lanly is a bad guy, Dagon, you have to be careful."

"I just think she is an ordinary person with a weird temper, but she is not bad, right?"

"I noticed that she looked at you, as if she was going to eat you." Lati said seriously: "You have to be careful of that woman. There was a woman who couldn't afford a full set of clothes looking at my dad with that look, and my mom said that was a bad woman."

"Maybe it's because of poverty..." Dagon didn't quite understand what a woman who couldn't buy clothes was, but he knew that Lati was kind-hearted. "I'll be careful of her. I'll be fully armed and won't let her hurt me."

"But I think it's better for you not to go. I can detect you and use a safer method."

"She is the sheriff. I asked Buck, and he said that if criminals are caught in the town, they will be the sheriffs responsible for detention and supervision, and when the lord has time, they will be tried in a centralized manner. So the Golden Dog Caravan is likely to be locked under her hands, and finding her is the most direct way."

"Then be careful." "You should also be careful."

There will be no difference in the field of caring for others, age, race, occupation, etc.

After eating the biscuits, Lati cleaned up, wiped himself dirty, and then walked towards the bakery by the wall. Dagon looked at the second floor of the hotel. They agreed that if something happened, he would go down to rescue immediately, and the two of them left the city immediately. At this time, Dagon had finished wearing it, holding a hunting axe in his hand, and had even studied how to break the window and jump from the second floor along the eaves.

After being nervous for a while, she finally saw Lati walking out of the store. She had already put on her work clothes with an apron, and her messy short hair was covered by a white hat. The little girl cleaned the door of the store with a broom, and at the same time she secretly sent a smile to the hotel.

Well, it's not bad. The bakery owner's neck is temporarily safe. Dagon sat down again and took out the whetstone. He decided to stay by the window during the day so that he could pay attention to the situation in the bakery at any time. At the same time, he could grind the hunting axe sharper and sharper, and no one knew what he would encounter tonight.
