Volume 1: Experiences Chapter 0023: Layout
When Old Walker heard this request, his hanging heart suddenly returned to his stomach, and he thought that the other party was going to help him deal with Gilbert.
He slapped his chest with a rough but strong slap and assured Renard, "If it's just this thing, it's no problem, it's on me." ”
"Five days!" he gestured with his right hand, which was missing a finger, and then embarrassedly and politely stretched out his left index finger to fill in: "I can complete the task in five days." ”
Renard silently summed up, feeling that the time was okay, and he just took advantage of this time to clear the bounty task, at least to buy a handy magic weapon in the system mall: "I'll give you ten days, and the map should be as detailed as possible." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled that the other party could leave, and old Walker ran out of the castle as if he had been pardoned.
It was only then that the two dog-legged men stepped forward with some curiosity and asked, "Young Master, you asked Old Walker to draw a map of the neighborhood, don't you really want to go on an adventure?"
The two felt that this matter was a bit unbelievable, although their young master was flying and domineering, he was notoriously arrogant, let him bully and bully the people, go outside to compete with monsters, how could he have that guts?
"Adventure, that's right!" Renard nodded nondeniably.
Hearing this, the dogleg hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade: "Young Master Renard, taking risks is an extremely dangerous thing, if something happens to you, how can we explain it to Lord Baron!"
Renard glanced at the two doglegs contemptuously, then picked up the cigar in the ashtray and lit it again, took two strong sips, and said vaguely: "How could I put myself in a dangerous situation, didn't I still have your back." ”
The two dogs were speechless, and they knew that their young master was not a good thing.
Raynal looked at the expressions of the two, shook his head helplessly, and said solemnly: "I do have the idea of taking risks, but not now, the most important thing now is to let others know that old Walker is doing things for me." ”
The two doglegs looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the young master's gourd.
Renard yawned and asked helplessly, "Don't you think things are a little strange?"
The two doglegs looked a little dazed and shook their heads at the same time.
Renard looked up at the ceiling and began to organize the language: "If I remember correctly, old Walker used to be a murderous adventurer, and even registered as an official mercenary. ”
"That's right. Tommy nodded: "I have investigated this guy in detail after I took this task, he is a character, he has traveled from south to north, is strong, and has a lot of experience, he is a rare talent." ”
Ben frowned and asked, "Does the young master want to take him under his command?"
"How's that going to work? Tommy immediately retorted: "Don't look at old Walker's superficial deference, it's not a good thing, you see he beat me up." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to his cheeks, which were still a little red and swollen, "He doesn't have much respect for the nobles. ”
Renard showed a look of surprise, and then nodded with a smile: "Yes, you are indeed very meticulous in your work, don't look at the old Walker's submissive performance in front of me, but secretly he is a black and white character." ”
His compliment flattered Tommy the dogleg, and it also made Ben next to him a little surprised.
Regardless of what the two of them were thinking, Renard added again: "I remember that old Walker's shop was not clean, and the three sects often went there to sell stolen goods. ”
He played with the medal in his hand, and his eyes were full of thought: "A person like him who doesn't even care about the law is very restrained and even afraid when facing me, don't you think the performance is too fake?"
Ben groaned for a moment, then said in surprise, "You mean, old Walker just performed all the pretends?"
That's right, his expressions, movements, and words are as if they had been rehearsed in advance, and they look real, but they are very false when you feel them carefully. Renard crossed his hands and stared out the window with burning eyes.
After a long time, he sighed deeply: "Tommy, even you know that the medal is in the hands of old Walker, how can Wilson, as the sheriff and captain of the guard, not know?"
Tommy frowned tightly when he heard this: "Then why did he ......?"
"Why don't you just ask Old Walker for it?" Reynard smiled, but his eyes grew colder, and then explained their question: "Maybe this is a trap, a trap set against Old Walker." ”
Tommy and Ben looked at each other again, but this time there was no longer confusion in their eyes, but they frowned and thought.
Reynard didn't have time for them to waste, and said directly and honestly: "Gilbert has coveted my position as the heir for a long time, and he must take action when he comes back from thousands of miles this time, otherwise it will only make my position more and more stable." ”
There was a twinkle in his eyes, as if Conan was possessed, analyzing the ins and outs of the matter: "Gilbert has been in collusion with Wilson for a long time, and his mother, who is from a humble background, has even made eyebrows with each other many times, do you really think I didn't see it?" ”
Renard sneered secretly: "I'm afraid that Wilson has secretly become his lackey." ”
Tommy immediately patted his forehead and said with annoyance: "Yes, I didn't expect that Wilson's heirloom would be so easily lost, and it was such a coincidence that Old Walker happened to meet Gilbert when he was about to return it." ”
"A coincidence is a coincidence. Ben frowned, still a little puzzled, and asked directly: "How does the young master know that this is a trap set against old Walker, and what are they doing this for?"
Renard's face was leisurely swallowing the clouds and spitting out mist, the hazy smoke covered his face, and he was silent for a long time, he replied helplessly: "I don't know." ”
Everyone was speechless, and Ben was about to speak, but was interrupted by Renard: "No matter what the other party's purpose is, let's just stir up yellow for him." ”
After speaking, a confident smile appeared on his face: "Bringing old Vokra to our camp is the first step, this cunning old fox will be a good pawn at a critical moment." ”
Tommy and Ben understood a little, and they both took a deep breath at the same time, feeling that the young master was much smarter than before, but also a little more intimidatingly deep.
Renard also felt this way, he was not shrewd before, but he would occasionally have a flash of inspiration when playing games, and now he was able to understand the truth of the matter based on a few clues, which really surprised him.
Could it be because of the ability to remember the eye? He quickly thought of the crux of the problem, after all, the introduction of the skill clearly showed: enhance the host's logical thinking ability.
