Chapter 18: Look at me
"I see?" said that, but the knight still had some doubts in his heart, "Then how did you tell that the old mage was on the verge of losing control of the elements, and besides, what kind of Holy Night poem we drank tonight is very famous, and why did the boss come down to see us in person when he heard that you ordered this kind of drink."

"Well, who knows, probably because that guy has been in a panic lately. Rob didn't know how to explain these two questions, so he could only prevaricate first, "Brother Kenneth, let's go find the grocery store first." ”
"Uh-huh. The knight nodded.
The two came to a slightly remote street, and the boy saw his small grocery store at a glance.
It can't be helped, who let the surroundings be full of magnificent new houses, and only a little east in the middle is an old building, which looks more dilapidated than when he left, as if his owner did not want to take care of it at all, mixed in with a pile of luxurious and exquisite buildings, which seems quite an eyesore.
The captain of the guard said, "Many merchants have come to your father and offered to buy your house, and it is said that some people have offered a price that you cannot refuse, but your father does not agree, saying that it is the best memory of your family, and that he will leave the house to you when he dies." ”
Rob's heart moved, and his resentment against the man's old state and gambling around was slightly reduced, but he said, "Hehe, in my opinion, that guy just took a fancy to the appreciation potential of this lot, and wants to sell it when it is more valuable in a few years." ”
Kenneth laughed, "Ha, you father and son are really alike, they look like they don't look at each other when they are in front of others, but in fact, deep down they are still worried about each other, are the men of the Rex family like this?"
"Cut, who would worry about him, the kind of man who doesn't have a sense of responsibility at all and only relies on his flamboyant tongue, I don't know what my mother liked about him back then. As he spoke, the boy stepped forward and pushed the door open.
"It's too careless. The captain of the guard shook his head, "Old Rex left in such a hurry that he forgot to lock the door?"
"Or, in fact, you don't need a lock at all. Rob said coldly.
Feeling the change in the young man's tone, Kenneth hurriedly looked in, but what he saw was a white expanse, which was really clean.
", is your house a thief?" The captain of the guard was startled, as far as his eyes could see, there was not even a rag left, even the worthless old counter was torn down and carried away, and the room can only be described as a house with four walls, empty like the Sahara Desert, "This ...... It's too much, it's okay, little Rob, you live in my house first, and I'll get the thief out of you within a week. ”
"I'm afraid there are no thieves at all. The young man's face turned pale, and he raised his feet and walked to the second floor.
The situation on the second floor was not much better, the silver frame on the portrait of my mother was stripped off and taken away, and the remaining drawing paper was thrown on the ground, and a few black footprints were stepped on, Rob had a gloomy face, and did not say a word, bent down to pick up the portrait, and carefully put it into his arms.
Kenneth was frightened by what he did, "Hey, you don't care. ”
"Absolutely, kill that bastard!" the boy clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said word by word.
The captain of the guard broke out in a cold sweat, hey, hey, that old Rex guy went too far this time, and actually provoked his own son to this one, in a sense, this is also a great talent.
At this moment, the two suddenly heard movement from the next room.
The voice was very soft, and if you didn't listen carefully, it was easy to be overlooked, but the two people present were not ordinary people, whether they were knights or magicians, their combat senses were very keen.
Someone?!
The captain of the guard subconsciously stretched out his hand to draw his sword, but unexpectedly touched the air, he remembered that because he was drinking with Rob tonight, he had already asked people to bring all his equipment back to the garrison, but he didn't panic much, Kenneth can become a second-order knight not by how sharp the long sword in his hand is, how strong the armor is, but by the hard power that he has been training for many years.
Even if you don't have a weapon, you won't have a problem dealing with a few small thieves.
He gestured to Rob, and the boy nodded in understanding, and deliberately raised his voice, "There's nothing here, let's go." ”
Kenneth also replied loudly, "Okay, let's go to my house tonight, and come back tomorrow." ”
The two of them walked towards the staircase as they spoke, deliberately putting their footsteps very hard, but halfway down the two quietly touched back again.
The captain of the guard used the standard version of stealth in the army, which he had learned from a few old scouts after half a month of filial piety with roast chicken, and the sound he made when he walked was lighter than that of a cat, comparable to that of a low-level thief, and he was once very proud, but today his pride was destined to be lost, and Kenneth found that Rob who was following him, a young man who claimed to be a historian of the continent, had no training, but he could act completely quietly.
How is this possible?!Kenneth's heart was hurt a hundred times, and even though he knew that now was not the time to dwell on this issue, the captain of the guard couldn't help but look back and look at the boy with a sad gaze.
Rob pointed to his feet with an innocent expression.
Kenneth found out that the boy had taken off his coat at some point, and pulled it in two and wrapped it around his shoe, which made him barely make any footsteps when he walked.
Kenneth suddenly realized, and gave Rob a thumbs up.
The two sneaked all the way to the room where the voice came from, and the boy gave the captain of the guard a look, and the captain of the guard said that he had received it.
Then Kenneth jumped to his feet under Rob's horrified gaze and slammed his body against the door.
I only heard a loud bang, and the wooden door that was quite sturdy couldn't withstand the terrifying impact of the second-order knight, so it let out a mournful roar, and was actually slammed into the air and flew out!
Kenneth didn't feel much better, he stood there and grinned, he didn't wear armor, and that was tantamount to using his own flesh and blood to clear the way.
"Ah?!Didn't you say it's better to rush together, why didn't you move? Kenneth almost burst into tears of pain, rubbing his right shoulder.
"Well, I think we just had a little bit of a misunderstanding about communication. The boy blinked, "I mean you hold this place first, I'll go find something that can break down the door, and then the two of us will change the guard, I'll break the door outside, and you wait downstairs, and once I alarm him, he will definitely want to run away from the window, and then you can easily take him down downstairs." ”
"But big brother, have you ever considered that one look can't convey so much information. The captain of the guard burst into tears.
