《The Inhabitants》Chapter 8. The Courier
Advertisement
Lando arrived at the plantation area not far from the Willburg's residence. This is one of the secret passages to enter the Willburg residence. At night, this place is only guarded by a few guard dogs and Lando is quite familiar to them. Not far from the estate is a man-made pool where Elisa Willburg used to take warm baths at night. Lando crossed this path when leaving the Willburg residence after finished his special job.
After walking for a while, Lando could see several buildings wich it walls made of woven bamboo and roofs made of thatched. There are five such buildings varying in size from 20 to several hundred square meters. The buildings was where the Wilburgs kept their livestock.
There are two guards who are quite a distance away. They do not like to be too close to the cage because in addition to the unpleasant smell there are also many mosquitoes at night.
Lando made sure he was hidden then started stuffing coal into the bamboo. There were half a dozen pieces of bamboo that were half filled with coals. Lando lit a small fire and burned 6 small pieces of coals. Almost simultaneously, Lando put 6 small pieces of coals into the bamboo and immediately covered it using unburned coals.
Lando secretly placed a bamboo filled coals on the roof of the two largest barns. Then he went away.
After a detour, Lando arrived near Willburg's house. The sun still hadn't risen but Lando saw several people were already standing in front of the main gate. Near them was a tram pulled by two horses. Looks like they're delivery soldiers.
Lando knew the delivery soldiers from his childhood. Usually they delivered premium supplies to wealthy merchants, such as premium sugar, luxury fabrics, and other expensive goods in the market.

As a child, Lando and the children around would often help these soldiers lift things and earn a few cents in return. Sometimes if a penny is given to a representative, Lando is not given a share.
Originally, Lando had planned to enter by climbing over the side railing while commotion from the fire broke out. But after seeing delivery soldiers in front of the gate he changed his mind.
Lando approached the soldiers and offered to help. Without the bandages, Lando's face looked like someone from the Hindibel government, but the skin of Hindibel government people was usually pale white or slightly reddish, while Lando's skin was yellowish. His hair is also black straight. These characteristics are very familiar to the soldiers, it was the characteristics of illegitimate children.
Even though they were not invited to live together, it was not uncommon for people from the Hindibel government to let their illegitimate children work as lackeys, so the soldiers didn't think about it further. They let Lando help out.
After the gate opened, Lando lifted a sizable box and asked the guard where he should put the box. Lando was quite surprised after hearing the box he picked up to be carried straight to the main building. Usually the order is placed elsewhere and then the butler will count the items before paying for them. Lando feels god supports his revenge.
Lando didn't delay any longer and walked straight to the main building. It's easy enough for anyone to know where the main building is because its size is much bigger than others. The guards thought Lando was quite familiar, but right now Lando was wearing a hat that covered the upper part of his face. After all, for anyone who recognized him, Lando assumed they would think Lando had become a mummy with a terrible face. Actually, the guards didn't care about such a small thing. They had frequent encounters with delivery soldiers, and to feel familiar was not unusual.

Lando easily reached the main building of Willbug residence. After going inside, he waited in the vestibule. This room is quite wide. Many wooden furniture such as tables, chairs, and statues seem to be expensive.
Lando held the box in front of him using both hands, so he couldn't see someone walking over. Lando only knew from the sound of his footsteps that the man was big.
After the big man took the box from Lando by one hand, Lando could see his face clearly. Short brown hair and slightly reddish. A square and clean shaved face. Huge body and height of almost two meters. Anderson Willburg!
Fortunately, Anderson didn't notice Lando. Apart from his height which made his gaze at Lando's face covered by a hat, he also looked up because he was fumbling in his pocket to pull out some coins.
After receiving some coins from Anderson, Lando immediately turned towards the outside door. He walked outside the main building. Lando saw the coin Anderson gave 'Wow, he's more generous than Elisa!'
