Chapter 1214: Hot… Very Hot…
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Delivery courier?”
There were prison guards in all the four walkways, and many of them were 7th-tier and 8th-tier knights and magic casters. However, they didn’t dare to move rashly, and they were stunned after they heard what the mysterious person who’d managed to sneak all the way to basement four said.
This fellow was petite, but he had a weird mask that covered his entire head. He was also wearing a set of clothing with the words “Are you full?” on the back. He looked extremely weird.
This fellow could climb over the high walls of the Bastie Prison silently and sneak all the way to basement four, evading all the guards. He had to have very powerful capabilities and certain gifts, so they had to be very careful.
“Spit it out! Whom are you trying to get out of jail?!” a prison guard shouted loudly.
“Out of jail? I am not here to get anyone out of jail. I am here to deliver a takeaway. But your place is huge and I’ve gotten lost. D-don’t stare at me like that. I am scared…” Connie felt so aggrieved that she almost burst out crying. She had been wandering around for hours in this stupid place, and now she was surrounded. What were these fierce-looking people trying to do to her?
“Stop your pretense! Don’t blame us for being harsh if you still refuse to say the truth!”
Even though this fellow sounded like a young maiden, the prison guards didn’t let down their guard at all. The Bastie Prison had all kinds of inmates. They had seen a bull-headed demon who could speak like a lolita. This fellow who had his face all covered up could look very hideous.
“I am saying the truth. I’m really a delivery courier, and I have accidentally got lost…” Connie was sweating profusely. Was she, the beauty, going to perish here?
“Have you caught the intruder?” A deep voice appeared behind the crowd.
The crowd split up to give way, and Rex came forward. His gaze landed on Connie as his two thick eyebrows furrowed.
A prison guard answered, “Yes, Deputy Warden. We have locked in the intruder successfully, but she refused to admit that she is the intruder, and insisted that she had lost her way.”
Losing her way in Bastie Prison? What a ridiculous explanation.
“Seems like this is a stubborn intruder. Let’s just judge her on the spot,” Rex said in a deep voice and clenched his right fist. He would still be able to go and have his supper next door if he knocked off from work now.
“Deputy Warden!” Connie, who was in a panic, widened her eyes and stared at the strapping man with thick short hair who was standing in front of everybody. She raised the insulated bag in her hands up high, elated, and said, “It’s you! You ordered the delivery! I finally found you!”
“Huh?” Rex was stunned and stopped his fist.
“‘Buddha jumps over the wall’. Your ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’.” Connie opened the insulated bag and opened the cover of the little urn in there.
A rich and enticing aroma rushed out instantly, and spread out toward the four walkways.
“Smells so good!”
All the prison guards’ eyes lit up, and they stared at the insulated bag in Connie’s hands with disbelief. What kind of food was this? It could actually give out such a mesmerizing aroma.
“‘Buddha jumps over the wall’!” Rex’s eyes lit up too. He knew this aroma very well. His thick hair depended on the daily supply of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’.
Only Boss Mag knew how to make ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’, and it only had limited portions every day. He had sent someone to order one helping today, and Boss Mag promised to deliver it to him at 5 o’clock. However, it still wasn’t delivered yet.
“You are the courier sent by Boss Mag?” Rex asked, still very doubtful.
“The deputy warden knows this intruder?” The prison guards were shocked, and they felt weird. This deputy warden had just broken out of the prison a few days ago, and became the first person to break out of the Bastie Prison successfully. And now, this intruder also had something to do with him?
“Yes. Boss Mag asked me to deliver the takeaway to you.” Connie quickly nodded. Finally, someone could understand her.
“But, you only needed to deliver it to the gates. Why do you have to breach the Bastie Prison? Moreover, you came all the way to basement four,” Rex said to Connie with a judging look.
“I couldn’t find the gates even after I walked one round, so I climbed over the walls to get in. Then, I saw a big house and I guessed you should be in it, so I went in. But the walkways in there were all intertwining, so I lost my way. I had been walking for hours, and my legs hurt from the walking…”
Everyone was silent after hearing that, and they started to feel sorry for her.
Not because she was pitiful, but because she was… stupid.
Oh my heavens!
What kind of person was this?
She caused a first order incident in the Bastie Prison when she only had to deliver a takeaway!
“Deactivate the alarm. All of you return to your original positions. Be alert when you are doing your duties. The Bastie Prison that could be breached by a young girl making a food delivery doesn’t deserve to be called the number one prison on the Norland Continent,” Rex said to all the prison guards in a grave voice as he unclenched his fist.
“Yes,” all the prison guards answered in shame. The deputy warden had already confirmed that the intruder was the food delivery courier from the restaurant next door.
The Bastie Prison that was deemed to be impenetrable was breached by a young maiden delivering a takeaway. If this got out, they would be losing their face.
Rex said to Connie, “Bring the ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ and follow me.”
“Yes.” Connie covered the little urn obediently, and followed after Rex with the insulated bag. Compared to the rest, this fierce-looking mister was nicer. At least he could understand her, and he was her mission target today.
The alarm stopped, and all the prison guards returned to their positions with a complicated feeling. They all became very alert to make sure that no intruder would ever succeed again and an incident like this would never happen for a second time.
Rex brought Connie back to his office on the first floor. Pointing to a table at the side, he said, “Leave the ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ there.”
“Okay.” Connie took out the little urn of ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ from the insulated bag, and placed it on the table obediently. She stood to the side and dared not moved as she sized up Rex carefully, using an inconspicuous side-glance.
This strapping mister had a frightening aura, just like her father, so he had to be a very powerful powerhouse. And she seemed to have made a huge blunder earlier. In order to leave this place alive, she decided to put on her best behavior.
However, this room was too warm, and she was wearing a thick technical jacket with fleece and insulated helmet. The dizziness caused by the heat began to take over her.
Rex, who was sitting behind the desk, asked, “Are you very hot?”
“Hot… very hot…” Connie only managed to remove her helmet before she fainted on the spot.
“Cat ears? Orc? Is this little one related to the Falk Tribe?” Rex mumbled to himself as he stood up, looking at Connie’s cat ears.
