Chapter 370 I’m Really Looking Forward to It (Part 1)

The Round Table Conference is the highest-level meeting in the Britannia Empire. All territorial nobles, central ministers, local officials, heads of knights, emperors, crown princes... will gather in Pendragon, so security work is naturally Not sloppy or too low-level.

In history, there have been several incidents where spies from hostile countries came to disrupt the convening of meetings, or came to assassinate important personnel of the empire.

In order to prevent the sabotage of spies from these hostile countries, the empire's security work before and during the Round Table Conference became more and more abnormal every time.

The patrols deployed in Pendragon are densely packed, and you can see patrols armed to the teeth wherever you go.

These patrol teams have been given great powers. Anyone who feels suspicious of anyone on the street can directly go forward for questioning and inspection.

As for the interrogation and inspection of suspicious persons, the strategy adopted by the empire was "it would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

During this period, no one knows how many people were imprisoned because they stuttered when answering the patrol's questioning and were suspected of having evil intentions.

Although these people who were mistakenly taken in would be released after detailed inspection, the patrol's extreme approach still made all the citizens of Pendragon feel very frightened.

Therefore, the citizens of Pendragon are now too scared to look directly at the patrols after seeing them, for fear that the patrols will come to inspect and question them.

Therefore, Su Cheng now wears his knight's sword when he goes out. When he wears his knight's sword, fewer people will come to check on him.

However, even so, there were still so many patrol teams that came to check on him that Su Cheng felt his scalp numb.

On the short journey to the restaurant where Kailuoer worked this evening, Su Cheng had already encountered three waves of patrols who came to check on him.

There were so many times that Su Cheng even doubted whether he looked too much like a bad guy and was constantly being interrogated by the patrol team.

As for why I want to go to Kailuoer's restaurant now, the reason is very simple.

——Go and pick up Kyler.

Su Cheng has been taking Kairol to work every day since the day before yesterday, October 16, the day after he returned to Pendragon from the southern front.

As for why he has to transport Kai Luoer to work every day, the reason is also very simple.

——Protect Kailuoer.

After being friends with Kai Luo Er for so long and living under the same roof for so long, Su Cheng still knew a little about Kai Luo Er.

Su Cheng knew that Kailuo was actually a timid person, and she was easily frightened.

Although Kailuoer appeared to be harmless, there was no guarantee that the patrol would not question and check her.

Facing the patrol's interrogation, Kairol, who has a somewhat timid personality, will most likely be frightened by the patrol's intimidating aura and become unable to speak.

Facing the somewhat frenzied patrol team, speaking unfavorably is a big taboo.

The patrol team would most likely think that there was something wrong with Kailuo because of his unfavorable speech, and then directly take Kailuo to prison.

So for the sake of Kairol's safety and in order not to visit Kairol in prison, Su Cheng started picking up Kairol every day from the second day after he came back. He would take Kairol to the restaurant in the morning and pick him up in the evening. Come back and protect Kailuoer personally.

Su Cheng was lucky. After saying goodbye to the patrol team just now, Su Cheng never saw any patrol team again.

Su Cheng walked the last bit of the road safely and arrived in front of the restaurant where Kai Luoer worked.

There is a "Closed" sign in front of the restaurant where Kyler works.

Su Chengli ignored the "Closed" sign and directly opened the door of the restaurant.

After pushing open the door of the restaurant and walking into the restaurant, Su Cheng saw Kailuoer, Laika and Irving who were cleaning.

All the chairs in the restaurant were turned upside down on the table.

Kyler and Owen were sweeping the floor with brooms, while Laika was wiping every table with a rag.

"Good afternoon! Mr. Su Cheng!" After seeing that the visitor was Su Cheng, Laika put down the rag in her hand and greeted Su Cheng warmly, "You are also very energetic today!"

"Well, good afternoon, Laika." Su Cheng responded with a smile, "You seem to be in a good mood today. Did something good happen?"

"Hmph~~ Something good has happened! I picked up a Hidero with a face value of 100 yuan in the restaurant today!"

After saying that, Laika took out a crumpled one hundred yuan note from his pocket.

As soon as Laika said these words, Owen, who had been lowering his head and sweeping the floor carefully, immediately raised his head suddenly as if he sensed something:

"What? In the restaurant? Money? Lycra, that's my money, give it back to me."

"What! Manager!" Laika puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction, "I obviously picked up this money. Since I picked it up, it belongs to me! Also, why are you so sure about this money? Is it yours?"

"Because this money appeared in the restaurant." Owen said seriously, "I am the owner of this restaurant, so all the money dropped in the restaurant will naturally belong to me."

"What nonsense is this! I won't give you this money!"

…

Looking at Laika and Owen who were arguing again, Su Cheng smiled helplessly and quickly walked to Kailuol's side.

"Laika and Owen are starting to quarrel again." Su Cheng said as he took the broom from Kyler's hand.

"I'm used to it." Kyler smiled, "The two of them basically quarrel several times a day, but although they love to quarrel, their relationship is very good."

Because Su Cheng had been taking Kailuo to the restaurant every day these days, Su Cheng gradually became familiar with Kailuo's boss and colleagues - restaurant owner Owen and waiter Laika.

Although these two people always quarrel and are very different in age, one is an uncle in his forties and the other is a young girl about the same age as Kai Luoer, but the two are very good friends. Emotions, in addition to very deep friendship, are also mixed with some family affection.

After taking the broom from Kailuoer's hand, Su Cheng asked Kailuoer to rest first, and he would do the rest of her work.

Although Su Cheng didn't like cleaning very much, Su Cheng usually delegated the cleaning tasks at home directly to Alan, but when Su Cheng cleaned, he was still very agile.

The cleaning work was almost completed. Not long after Su Cheng took the broom from Kailuoer's hand, he finished cleaning the restaurant.

"Okay! Cleaning is done!" Owen looked at the now clean restaurant with a look of satisfaction on his face.

However, the look of satisfaction on Owen's face did not last long before it was replaced by a look of frustration.

"This roundtable meeting is really annoying...Immediately implemented a curfew, so I can't even do business at night..."

Two days ago, Pendragon officially implemented a curfew. Anyone who comes out at night will be regarded as suspicious and thrown into jail.

Because this curfew is quite abhorrent in Owen's eyes, he can only close the store before it gets dark.

This is a big blow to Irving's income. After all, dinner time in the evening is Irving's best business time of the day.

"Yes, this round table meeting is very annoying..." Su Cheng answered with a wry smile, "Even the meeting on merit and rewards has been postponed..."

It has been three days since Su Cheng returned to Pendragon from the southern front. According to the past, the merit-discussion and reward meeting had been held long ago and he had received a large reward.

This merit-discussion and reward conference is very grand, firstly because the results of this battle are quite astonishing, and secondly because this merit-discussion and reward conference will simultaneously deal with the "Spring Awakening" and "Xia Feng" offensives in one go. The heroes of the two offensives were rewarded, so there were many recipients.

However, the priority of the upcoming round table conference is undoubtedly much higher than that of the merit and reward conference. The central government of the empire is now focusing its work on this upcoming round table conference. There was no time to attend to the meeting on merit and rewards, so the central government announced that the meeting on merit and rewards would be postponed until after the round table meeting.
