return to the throne

Seeing that the faces of the two were not right, Rika and the others immediately followed. "What's wrong?"

Carlos gave Adrian those things to him, "There are thieves."

"What?" Rika was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and cursed. "Damn thief, you dare to steal our things, but you really don't see it. Carlos, your seal has not been stolen."

If the stolen money is a trivial matter, the most fearful thing is that the king's seal is lost. The seal is related to the security of the entire country, so it is extremely important and cannot be lost.

Carlos said, "I'm fine, but Adrian's things are missing. You send them back first, and I'll find a thief." In this situation, Adrian was not in the mood to continue shopping, so Carlos decided to let the They left, and stayed behind to find the purse for Adrian. "

Adrian hesitated, "Can I stay and look for it with you?"

Carlos was a little surprised, "You want to come with me?"

"It's mine after all, I probably can't just wait for you on the boat like this." Although Adrian was in a bad mood, he still missed his two maids, "Send May and Ivanka back first, and let me stay Come on, can you?"

"Your Highness, please allow me to go with you." Dilik consciously dereliction of duty, hastily applied.

"Okay." Carlos agreed, "You and Dilic stay, Dilic, if I go away later, please protect your master well."

"Of course I will, Your Majesty Carlos, this is my duty."

Adrian was a little frustrated. He felt that his things would never be found again, if only he hadn't left the ship.But seeing Carlos's very calm face, he felt that maybe the other party had some way to help him get back the money bag.

Rika led the people away, while Carlos walked on the street, and Adrian followed him, wondering what he was going to do.

I saw Carlos walk into a tavern, "Bring food and wine."

The waiter in the tavern was a tall and thin young man with a pale face as if he had never seen daylight. He glanced at Carlos and the others and walked into the kitchen.

After a while, three identical servings of black bread and West Asian wine were thrown on the table with a bang, and the wine in the cup spilled a lot and splashed on the table.

Dilic showed a look of disgust, the waiter's actions are too rude!

Carlos didn't seem to mind too much, "Wait a minute, can I ask you something?"

The waiter said impatiently, "Your Excellency, our business is very busy. Look, there are so many people here..." He pointed around, "No matter what you want to ask for directions, please find someone else. "

Carlos took out a silver coin and gently placed it on the table.

The young man stopped talking. He hurriedly grabbed the coin and stuffed it into his arms, but although he took the money, his tone was still not very good, "Okay, do you have any questions for me?"

"I want to know who is in charge of the beggar children around here."

The waiter looked at him, "What you said...I'm not someone who leaks information just for one or two jokes."

Carlos smiled, took another coin out of his pocket and put it on the table, this time it was a gold coin.

Only then did the young man show a pale smile. "You are so generous." He immediately reached for the gold coin.

Carlos pressed the gold coin with one finger, "Who is it?"

The young man muttered, "This group of troublesome children, sir, did they do something rude to annoy you? They are always like this, constantly begging for money, constantly causing trouble, and annoying, but who let them There's a good adopter, old Locke's their daddy, and with him taking care of the kids, we've got to turn a blind eye to most of what they do."

Carlos let go, and the young man quickly put away the gold coins. After getting the money, he seemed to have a better attitude, "Your Excellency, you don't want to trouble Old Locke, do you?"

"how?"

"I advise you not to do this. Let me tell you that Old Locke is not a simple person. He has relations with the local ruffians here. The locals never dare to provoke him easily. Judging by your appearance, you must be a foreigner." , then I suggest that you should not argue with him."

Carlos didn't say much, "Thank you for your help."

"It's a pleasure to serve you." The young man walked away happily.

After he left, Adrian said, "Carlos? Do you think this person stole my purse?"

Carlos said, "Generally, children who steal like this will only steal things when they are instructed by others. West Asia is a port city, and ordinary people are very rich. Their children don't need to steal, but beggars can't tell. I think that child The clothes are very shabby, and they should have been bought by someone without parents."

"So we're going to find this guy named Locke now?"

"Yeah, I guess he won't run very far, he should keep an eye on us."

"But there are only three of us. I heard that this guy has connections with many hooligans..." Adrian is not afraid of fighting with others. It just so happens that he hasn't practiced swordsmanship for a long time, so he can now try to see if his swordsmanship has regressed, but He was worried about Carlos' safety. Rika and the guards were not there. If something happened to Carlos, Adrian might not be able to escape the blame.

"I'm not afraid!" Dilic showed his sword. "Let them try it anyway."

"Not bad." Carlos laughed viciously, "Let's have a big fight!"

Adrian found that this guy was clearly afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, just one thing, we don't know what he looks like, where he lives, and we can't find him just by his name..."

"Look at me." Carlos winked at him.

He swaggered out.

Adrian wanted to follow, but Carlos shook his head at him, so he sat back in his seat, and when he saw Carlos leave, he twisted his body uncomfortably, "Where is he going?" ?”

Dillick took a sip from his glass, "I think he has a solution, Your Highness." He now has a kind of blind trust in Carlos. Along the way, he has seen Carlos' strength. Foresight is much better than those of them who have never traveled far. "Maybe he wants to catch a prisoner on the spot, and then let the other party lead us to find the old guy, so we don't have to worry about where we are."

Adrian shook his head, "I don't think it's possible. Those thieves are adopted children, and they depend on the face of their adopters to make a living. Children have no backing, and even if they are beaten, it is impossible to tell the truth." And he thinks that Carlos Not the type to beat up kids.

Dillick said optimistically, "Maybe someone will help!"

On this side, after Carlos walked out of the gate, he turned directly into the dark alley next to the tavern.

The alley behind the tavern was quiet and gloomy, with few residents haunting it, but there were many unconscious alcoholics, all reeking of alcohol and drunk as mud.

Carlos walked up to a man lying on the edge of a trash can and kicked him, "Hey, are you awake?"

The drunkard was suddenly kicked, he couldn't help crying out in pain, and reluctantly opened his eyes, he was a strong and tall man with a long scar on his face, he looked fierce and powerful, when he found standing in front of him screaming His face was a stranger he didn't know, and he suddenly showed a ferocious expression.

He cursed in a rough voice, "Who are you? Get out of here!"

Carlos showed a smile on his face, "Hey, brother, don't be so angry, I just want to ask you a question, why don't you get up first and listen to what I have to say?"

The drunkard yelled at the ground, but his attitude was still bad, "Why should I care what you say? Who are you?"

Carlos's smile didn't change. "Who am I? You'll want to know."

After a while, he returned to the hotel, but it was different from the time when he left. Behind him was a man with a bruised nose and a swollen face, who smelled like a trash can all over his body.

They walked across the table, and everyone around them covered their noses.

Carlos didn't say anything, he walked to Adrian and sat down, "There is news."

"Hello, gentlemen," the man following Carlos said immediately. Although the other party's face was terribly beaten, he was very courteous and greeted Adrian and the others, "I heard that you are going to trouble Old Locke. , That’s great, Old Locke has long been in need of cleaning up, and I’m happy to help you.”

Adrian looked at him in shock.

"This is George, a mercenary." Carlos introduced, "I told him that we encountered some troubles, and he was very kind to show us the way."

"Is that so?" Dillick said naively, "George, you are such a nice person."

"..." George grinned.

The 'kind' mercenary George reluctantly told Carlos the address of Old Locke's house. Carlos bought him a row of wine as a thank you. At the bar, when a whole row of West Asian wine was served, George couldn't wait to drink it.

"Are you sure you want to go to Old Locke's house?" He looked at the group of people while drinking, well, regardless of the person who beat him just now, the young man beside him is quite quiet, but he looks pampered, like the young master of a noble family , the other one seems to be a knight, he looks like he has several hands, but it shouldn't be difficult to deal with, so the group of people want to find fault with the local old rogue?It's not a dream, is it?

He was happy that the group hit a snag, so he didn't say anything to dissuade them.

"Let's go." Carlos stood up, "It's not too late, let's go directly to someone."

In the tavern just now, Adrian did not speak, but when they walked onto the street, Adrian couldn't help asking Carlos, "Did you hit him?"

"Look at what you said, I'm not a bad person, it was George who accidentally fell." Carlos said lightly. "He fell into the trash can and no one paid any attention to him, but I kindly helped him up, so he thanked me and decided to help us."

Adrian couldn't believe it.

"George told us the address. Will Old Locke retaliate against him if he finds out?" He was a little worried. "Actually, if you lose the purse, just lose it. It's not good to hurt others."
