Chapter 1380 Trapped in the Bewildering Way (fifty-two)
At the same time, Egypt, the Cairo Hotel.
“Come on—come on—you lazy cat~” Albert carried the sleeping Mutter back to the hotel room, and immediately threw the cat boy on the sofa as soon as he returned.
“Phew.” After finally dropping a heavy burden, Tiger breathed a sigh of relief.
Mutter is still sleeping, and it doesn’t look like he won’t wake up easily for a moment. And Albert can only wait here for the cat boy, can’t he go anywhere? So complicated. Tiger thought about his next move. He wants to go to Chanel, report everything he encountered today to the elf girl, and discuss the next action with Chanel. But it was only half a quarter past noon, and Albert couldn’t be sure if Chanel was in her hotel room. Just go to Chanel like this…it seems a bit awkward again.
The tiger can’t help but walk to a large mirror in the living room and take a few shots. His morals are abysmal right now, he is still wearing a jersey, and his body is full of smudges and sweat. In addition, after the war, his entire tiger’s hair was fluffy and messy, and he didn’t fix the length. If he went to a girl like this, he would only be made fun of.
No way, let’s take a shower first. Albert scratched his head and walked towards the huge bathroom, which was extremely luxurious.
“Ding Dong!”
But as soon as one of his tiger legs stepped into the ragged bathroom door, the doorbell rang outside.
Well, it was Chanel who came to Albert. Unfortunately, Tiger couldn’t help but hide his face. If he knew it would be like this, he should have rushed into the bathroom and washed it right away. Now it’s too late, the tiger man can only bring his dirtiest and stinkiest side to see Chanel.
“Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!” The frequency of the doorbell became more and more urgent, and the people outside the door were obviously impatient.
“Come on, I got it!” In desperation, Albert hurried to answer the door. There’s hardly even time to cover up the smell of sweat with body lotion.
However, after the door was opened, Albert Castro, the vice president of the Monster Hunters Association, appeared in front of him. Albert breathed a sigh of relief, but his nerves were tense.
“What made you spend so much time?” The tiger man looked at Albert coldly.
“Vice President…why are you here?” Albert asked in surprise.
“Are you an idiot? Of course I went to your room to find you, and was told by the hotel staff that you had moved to the special deluxe room on the top floor.” Vice President Castro ignored Al Burt’s dissuasion, he walked into the room and looked around: “Oh, what a good boy you are! What magic did you use on the owner of this hotel to let him give up the best suite here to him?” You?——Huh? Who is that?”
“Mutter. The sports training personal assistant arranged for me by Father Sphinx.” Albert explained briefly: “He is seriously injured and needs to rest. Can you speak more quietly? ?”
“Yeah.” Vice President Castro hummed and turned down the volume. At the same time, he walked around the living room of the room, checking those corners that no one noticed. He seemed to be looking for cameras and eavesdropping. traces of the device.
He found nothing, however, the room was not being watched. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Albert: “Remember the information you asked me for yesterday? I found it.”
“Oh?” Albert snorted lightly as a response, but glanced absently at the sleeping cat boy Mutter: “Could it be——“
“Exactly that information.” Castro took out a secret document from the inner pocket of his coat: “A trainee monster hunter, a thirteen-year-old boy from the cat people ——“
“Wait!” Tiger interrupted nervously immediately, and moved to the other side of the luxurious hall: “Let’s talk on the balcony, okay?”
“What the hell, it’s mysterious.” Castro followed Albert to the connecting balcony at the end of the hall. Outside this balcony is the beautiful sea view of the Mediterranean Sea. They are on the 100-story balcony of this building, but they can’t feel the noise of the wind at all, because the Cairo Hotel uses some kind of protective cover to slow down the wind resistance outside the balcony. .
“Luff the Cat,” Castro slumped on a lounge chair on the balcony before he began to explain: “Thirteen years old, male, low-level trainee monster hunter. The current whereabouts are unknown. Hunter. When the association noticed that Luffy had not come back to make regular reports, it had already issued a search order for him. But the boy was only a trainee hunter after all, with such a low status, it is estimated that no one would really care about putting one in the wilderness. Can you find the missing child?”
Albert listened silently without commenting. Although he heard Castro’s ruthless evaluation, his heart hurt like a knife.
“However, the following information is much more interesting.” Castro continued to hold the document and read: “Generally speaking, apprentice hunters are not allowed to go out for missions at will. Apprentice hunters must have an A Senior hunters above the rank of senior hunters form a team and act together as the servants of this senior hunter, so that while they serve the seniors, they can also gain some experience and rewards in the task.——With a certain never It’s completely different from the guys who are teaming up with others, hehe.”
Albert agrees. Of course he knew this little thing. When he first debuted with a child who didn’t understand anything, he acted as Castro’s servant.
“However, this Mr. Ruff has never teamed up with anyone. At least not in the official records.” Vice President Castro continued: “Under the condition of not being accompanied by senior hunters, apprentice hunters have no experience at all. He was not allowed to enter the wilderness to take quests. However, this child has already taken on many quests and successfully returned alive. Who is his partner and who approved it, everything is a mystery.”
It’s not a mystery. Albert was very clear. Because Luffy is the partner of the tiger youth — at least until fate is changed, they are. It seems that the red potion that Bedivere drank for Albert, although it can change the fate of El and Luffy, so that the tiger man and his little servant will never have any intersection in their lives, but this [change of fate] ] The process is not perfect. It leaves behind a lot of [paradoxes]: some written records that show Albert and Ruf working together. Even though there is no Albert’s name in the document, it is written in the document’s record, [Luff and a certain senior hunter went out to complete a certain mission].
“He appeared in the snowfields of Western Siberia, near Lake Onega.” Albert said indifferently: “I saw him when I was doing missions there, but he was already in poor condition. , can’t be saved. I buried him on the shore of that icy lake.”
The expression of the vice president of the Hunter Association gradually became dark: “So you do know the whereabouts of that kid. Why didn’t you report it to us earlier?”
“Remember meow? I reported it.” Albert gave Castro a blank look: “But you put my carrier pigeon in the pot and stewed it, **** it.”
“Oh, yes——” Castro just remembered this, and couldn’t help laughing: “I’m sorry. That old carrier pigeon that is about to retire is really unreliable, and there is nothing to do if the letter is lost. matter.”
Albert couldn’t help but feel depressed: “It’s time for you to change to a better communication method. It’s too late to use carrier pigeons.”
“The Hunter Association has always been short of funds. We will talk about this kind of thing later.” Castro grinned: “Okay, I will send someone near Lake Onega to retrieve the kid’s remains and bring them back. His hometown is buried. After all, it’s a poor child. He is the only son in the family, and a sick mother to take care of. His mother will probably be devastated and despaired of dying like this. The abyss.”
Hearing Vice President Castro’s unintentional sentence, Albert’s face changed: “He…has a mother?! I heard him say that he has become an orphan. …..”
“Don’t ask me. At least the official records say that Mr. Ruff had a mother, but I don’t know what the truth is.” The vice president shrugged irresponsibly: “If you care so much, take the time to go. Look at his mother? You buried that kid, and according to tradition, it is your duty to send his remains back to his hometown so that he can see his family.”
Tiger’s heart was indescribably sour: “Let’s take a look… Wait until you recover that child’s remains~IndoMTL.com~ hum. You are not willing to give up this stupid no matter what. Trial of the Knights of the Round Table, right.” Castro looked at Albert tentatively: “I don’t want to hit you, after all, a young man who is determined to do one thing consistently is a commendable thing. However, this year’s [Great Hunting Festival] is coming soon. At that time, the Hunter Association will urgently convene all the hunters sent out, including you. Those of you who want to participate in the [Great Hunting Festival] really have Is Sora playing knight games here?”
“What meow?!” Albert was surprised again: “But shouldn’t the [Great Hunting Festival] be at the end of autumn every year?! Why is it so early this year? It’s only early spring!?
“
“I don’t know.” Castro shrugged irresponsibly again: “Because of weather changes? Because people over-harvested the natural environment, which angered the monsters? In short, this year’s monsters are extremely restless. There has been a small-scale riot in the area, and a caravan of bunnymen that has camped nearby has been killed. According to President Nitro’s calculations, [the big riot] will occur in a week, if we If we don’t gather everyone and start the [Great Hunting Festival], we will lose the opportunity to kill the army of monsters. You should know exactly what that means.”
