Infinite Cafetaria Chapter 319

Chapter 319 Future Knights

After listening to the contents of the note, Ma Lu understood why Li Wei had given him this secret mission.

Shrike was killed by Li Wei and he "joined forces". Li Wei relied on this achievement to reach the peak of his reputation in the Holy Knights, bypassing the leader Martin, and Malu also transformed from a rookie knight to a Grandmaster.

Now there may be something wrong with this matter, and the people who will be affected will naturally include Malu in addition to Li Wei.

The two are grasshoppers on the same rope, so it makes sense that Li Wei arranged for him to secretly investigate this matter.

It's a pity that Malu didn't care as much about the identity of the master as Li Wei imagined, and Li Wei was not very interesting. He was asked to investigate the case, but he was not allowed to bring the witch.

Although there is no threat of activated plants in the city, the witch is not a rigid necessity. Knight armor is enough to deal with most enemies. If it is not possible, you can still ask for help from the knights. From the perspective of confidentiality, there is undoubtedly less movement when one person moves.

But Ma Lu was still unhappy and planned to give up.

However, he still had to keep up appearances. He randomly selected a few lucky passers-by on the street and pretended to inquire about the drinking party with them.

As expected, none of these people said they had heard of the name.

Just when Malu was thinking that he was almost worthy of Li Wei's cultivation, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him.

“A gathering of drinkers? I know, I know, that's where a group of uncles drink.”

“Who said it? There is a big sister there,” another voice said, “a beautiful big sister.”

"Why did you tell this? Uncle Hal said you can't talk about it everywhere."

"But the other party is a knight. The knight represents justice, so there must be no problem."

“Well, that's what I said…”

Ma Lu turned around and found that he was still an acquaintance. It was the group of children he had met on the street before who were chasing him for autographs.

Ma Lu also let them sit on his shoulders, but now that he has put on new armor, the children should not recognize him.

But the admiration in their eyes has not weakened. In fact, most boys in this city dream that one day they can become handsome knights, put on armor, and defend the Temple City and the last human civilization together with the witches under their command.

Hearing this, Ma Lu turned around and said, "Do you know where the drinkers gather?"

“Of course.” One of the boys who looked like a child king said proudly, “They are always changing places. One of our games is to find a new place for their gatherings, Jie Jie Jie Jie.”

Beside him, another little boy who was slightly thinner and looked like a dog-headed military counselor also put his hands on his hips and said, "Nothing that happens around here can be hidden from the eyes of our future knights."

“That's right, that's right. You look like you're made to be a knight.”

Ma Lu gave a thumbs up, and the group of children became even more happy when they heard this. Someone shouted, "I'll lead the way for you, Lord Knight."

It was hard to resist the hospitality, so Ma Lu could only follow them to a shoemaker's shop on the next street.

Before Malu could speak, a child rushed up, knocked on the door and said, "Uncle Hal, open the door quickly, we have brought a knight!"

"What?" There was an exclamation from inside, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps, the sound of something being hit, and the sound of broken wine bottles, but at this time a voice suddenly said.

“Why are you panicking? Today is a celebration day, you can drink.”

"Yes." Others also reacted at this time, and after a while, the door was finally opened.

A drunken man with a red face stuck his head out from behind the door, first glared at the group of children outside the door, and then raised his head to look at Malu.

"My Lord Knight, why did you come to my store? Today is the celebration day. My friends and I had a few drinks. If you want me to make shoes, you'd better come back tomorrow." "No, I'm here. Looking for someone.”

“Who are you looking for?” The visitor suddenly became alert when he heard this sentence.

“Do you know Goethe?”

"I haven't... never heard of this name." The man's eyes evaded, and he subconsciously twisted his neck and looked behind him, but he quickly realized something was wrong and stopped.

This poor performance left Ma Lu speechless.

As long as he could act more realistically, Malu could also take advantage of the situation and end the investigation. However, this guy was obviously drunk and his head was half a beat slower.

In front of so many people, Malu could only say, "I want to go in and talk to Goethe."

"Uh..." Hal was still thinking hard, trying to find a reason to prevent Malu from entering the shoe store.

But Malu had already squeezed past him and walked straight in.

There were about a dozen people in the shoe store, most of them men, with faces as red as Hal's. The only woman was about thirty years old, plump, and was playing cards with two men.

Without exception, they all had the smell of alcohol on their bodies, but there was no alcohol in the house.

Ma Lu looked around and asked, "Who is Goethe?"

No one answered.

After about half a minute, Ma Lu nodded and said, "It doesn't matter...I have plenty of time."

After saying that, he turned around and closed the door, pulled up a chair and sat at the door.

This is Ma Lu's new idea of catching fish. On the surface, it looks like he is working hard to investigate the case at an important location, but in fact, he is just sitting here killing time, and will call it a day when the time is up.

It was just that Malu didn't relax for long before he heard another voice, "I am Goethe. I don't know what you want to see me for, Sir Knight."

The speaker was a man with thin cheeks and a wide-brimmed hat.

"No, you're not! Sit down." Malu didn't want the investigation to advance so quickly, so he retorted directly.

A look of astonishment appeared on the man's face after hearing this. He wanted to say something more, but at this time, the only woman in the room suddenly put down the cards in her hand, stood up and said.

"Since the Lord Knight already knows that I am Goethe, why do you still ask questions knowingly?"

Ma Lu sighed, wondering if today was the International Investigation Day, and why everyone here was so busy surrendering.

Goethe continued, "I know why you are here, and I can answer your questions, but I need a promise from you."

“What promise?”

"After I confess everything, ensure my safety and not pursue the crimes I committed." Goethe said, "I am just a small information dealer, and I don't want to participate in the struggles of those big shots."

“Okay.” Malu nodded.

“Then let's go upstairs and talk.” After Goethe finished speaking, he took the lead and walked upstairs.

There was no ambush upstairs. Ma Lu could tell this from the chessboard map, so he followed.
