After Kino finished handling the matters at hand, seeing that it was still early, he planned to go to the Nightingale Tavern for something to eat.

The skills of the chefs in the military camp cannot be complimented. The food they make is only "edible" and cannot compare to the freshly made desserts in the tavern.

The stars at night are bright and bright, like lights dotting the sky, quiet and peaceful.

Under the silent sky, the Nightingale Tavern was as lively as ever. The sound of the crowd could almost lift the roof. People were laughing here, pouring wine into their mouths, trying to forget the hard work caused by the day's work.

Chino ordered dark caramel pudding, chocolate sandwich bread, almond honey toast, fresh cream cheese, honey syrup...I felt a bit full after eating it, and wanted to change the taste to relieve my tiredness, so I ordered another whole piece

Black truffle cake.

A total of 249 iron moons had to be paid. He couldn't get the change at the moment, so he paid with 25 copper moons. Naturally, the boss was very happy.

The black truffle cake had just been sold out, and it had to be baked fresh, which was slow, so Chino took out the book in his arms and read while waiting.

To be honest, the pub is not a good place for reading. It is very noisy. The drinkers talk about everything. Some people are discussing the girls they had sex with last night, some are bragging about their heroic past, and some are drinking.

Singing vulgar songs.

Kino was very focused and was not disturbed.

Not long after, the tavern door opened.

Two men walked in, and the shorter one was cursing and complaining: "Why is the temperature difference between day and night here so big? Clin, aren't you cold in what you wear?"

The taller one looked like an older brother. He found a place to sit down and waved: "Stop complaining, Kurtz, let's have something to eat first."

The two ordered some garlic bread, grilled chicken breast, and two glasses of fruit wine.

The fruit wine and bread were served cold and were served quickly.

Kurtz ate the bread with his head down, drank the wine in the glass in a few mouthfuls, and muttered to himself: "It tastes really bad, I want to drink what I brought."

Klin frowned, but seeing that his brother was agitated, he didn't say anything and let him take out the small wine bottle in his arms, and the two chatted about something.

While Chino was reading, the maid came over with a baked cake and showed a sweet smile: "Good evening, Chino Civil Affairs Officer, this is your black truffle cake, freshly baked~"

"Thank you, just put it next to me."

When the maid left, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Klin and Kurtz. Their eyes were staring at Kino's back without saying a word.

The maid thought to herself: Master Kino is really so cute, he attracts attention wherever he goes.

Kino closed the book, did not touch the cake, but picked up the water glass and stood up.

Klin and Kurtz took the opportunity to look away. They looked at each other secretly, their eyes seemed to be hiding something.

Suddenly, a figure came to them and sat down on the side seat: "Good evening."

They subconsciously raised their heads and saw those jewel-like amber eyes.

Klin nodded: "Good evening, what do you want from us?"

Kino: "This should be my problem. Do you have any problem with me?"

Klin was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Your brother complained about the big temperature difference between day and night when he came in, which means he is an outsider. He doesn't come to Xilin Town often and is not familiar with the climate here. You were chatting just now, and after the maid called my name, your conversation was suddenly interrupted. It means that my name is

It is very recognizable in your ears; and..." Chino gently lifted Klin's sleeve, and there was a red mark on his ring finger. He should have been wearing a ring, but now he has taken it off.

Kino smiled and said: "You are the ones who entered the country this morning and asked the Paladin Centurion about my whereabouts, right?"

The two brothers' expressions froze for a moment. Kurtz touched the bridge of his nose and said, "Your observation skills are extremely meticulous."

Chino: "Thank you for the compliment. Now that you have found me, what do you want to say to me?"

Kurtz laughed dryly twice, shrugged and said, "You misunderstood. We only needed an entry signature at that time, and we didn't know that you entrusted the signature to a subordinate, so we asked him a few questions."

Kino: "Continue."

Kurtz was stunned: "What continue?"

Chino: "Continue editing."

Klin and Kurt's breath suddenly became stagnant, and they had goosebumps all over their bodies.

"You are lying." Kino's eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. "You dare not look into my eyes."

Although Kurtz deliberately controlled his gaze, when he looked at Kino's amber eyes, he felt an inexplicable creepy feeling, so his eyes kept wandering.

"Now, you are very nervous, your pupils are dilating, you are swallowing your throat subconsciously, your lips are trembling, and your arrector pili muscles are contracting. Oh~ you are sweating on your forehead, wipe it." Chino took out a tissue from his arms,

Putting it in front of Colin, the smile was slowly disappearing and turned into a cold expression, "Why did you lie?"

All the symptoms mentioned by Kino have deepened on Kurtz's face. It can be seen that his whole body is extremely uneasy, his nerves have been tense to the extreme, and he feels like he will break at any time.

"Hahahahaha!" Without any warning, Klin laughed. He patted the back of Kurtz's hand to comfort him, shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Civil Affairs Officer, this is indeed the rhetoric I made up with him in advance.

, used to confuse other people. Because... what we want to discuss with you may not be suitable for other people to hear."

Kino shrugged and softened his voice a little: "It's very noisy here, so we just have to speak softly. If anyone else hears it, I can detect it, trust me."

"Okay, I believe you." Klin leaned a little closer and lowered his voice and said, "Now, the black market of salt crystals in Doguland is overflowing, and bans are repeated. The channel for overseas smuggling has not been cut off. Am I right?"

This topic aroused Chino's interest: "What are your opinions on this?"

Klin narrowed his eyes: "If I told you that I have important information about salt crystals, would you be interested?"

Kino touched his chin and asked with great interest: "I want to ask a question first, there are so many border towns and civil affairs officials, why did you choose to come to Xilin Town to trade with me?"

Klin coughed lightly and lowered his voice: "I received news from an intelligence dealer that all members of Millo's caravan were missing and were last seen in Shilin Town. I knew then that you should be the one who cracked the smuggling.

He must have learned the method of smuggling salt crystals - hiding them in his stomach."

Kino's smile became deeper: "You also know this smuggling method, and there is only one possibility - you are also smugglers."

Klin licked his dry lips: "Yes, that's why my brother is very nervous. Now, our lives are in your hands. But instead of taking away our lives, I think you will be more interested in this deal."

interested."

"explain."

"You cracked the smuggling case of Millo's caravan, but in recent days, no gastric lavage inspection has been carried out on other caravans at the border passes of Doguland, including Xilin Town. So I guess you did not report this method. You should

It’s just waiting for an opportunity.”

Clinton paused and continued in a deep voice: "I have foreseen that once the time comes and you report this smuggling method, our industry will be destroyed. Therefore, I want to take my brother and escape as soon as possible."

Klin subconsciously looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then he leaned forward and lowered his voice: "Tomorrow, we will agree on a hidden location, and I will give you a confidential map with our smuggling marked on it.

Base. Whether you hand it over to your superiors to claim credit, or lead your own troops to clear it, I don’t care. In exchange, you have to provide me and my brother with one thing - proof of identity - so that we can become legal Dogu.
