Chapter 108: Catch the thief
"Hahahaha, do you see Jamie's old face?" Stan laughed.
The family was naturally happy, but they didn't expect that as soon as Mr. Lawyer came, the problem was really solved immediately.
They all thought the 10 pounds were worth it.
Stan asked Hobert, "Mr. Lawyer, how do you know that wild boars are going to run on my farm?" Jamie can't even leave! Hahahaha. ”
Hobart said in his heart: Of course, I used my extraordinary ability to distort the thoughts of the three sows, and those little pigs will only run after the sows.
Using his extraordinary abilities to distort the sow's mind and solve the commission that paid only 10 pounds, Hobert always felt sorry for his extraordinary abilities, as if they had made them cheap.
"I happen to have read some books on the habits of wild animals, and if I have hunting experience, I am certainly not as good as you, but I know the habits of wild boars."
"Your tree farm is better suited to the food they need, so when they are frightened, they will run to you."
Stan said: "Sure enough, knowledge is wealth, and I have been hunting all my life and I don't even know this knowledge." ”
Back at the Stanley family's farmyard, it was already about one o'clock in the afternoon, and the Stan family warmly entertained Hobert and the coachman for lunch.
While I was eating lunch, the sound of horses' hooves on the road, which was not very hurried, attracted everyone's attention.
There were three knights in rider's suits, riding unhurriedly.
Far away, Hobart discovered that one of them knew him, the one who had previously introduced him to the attendees at a mercenary club party as the "Brigadier General's Son". BIquGe.biz
Hobert remembered that his name was Harvey Hayden, and it looked like he was the leader of the three.
Harvey Hayden and the others got closer before dismounting, and then politely asked Stan for some water.
The Stan family was very welcoming, took their water bladders to help fill them, and invited them to lunch.
Harvey Hayden was about to decline the invitation to lunch when he saw Hobart greet him, and he smiled, "Hobert! I didn't expect to meet you here, is your father okay? ”
He used to be Christine's subordinate, and he seems to have some affection for this superior.
"Thank you for your concern, he's doing well." Hobart said politely.
The two sides chatted for a few words, and the water over there was also filled, and Harvey Hayden was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly seemed to think of something: "We are catching three thieves, just enough manpower, Hobert, you go and help, and when the matter is over, I will give you a part of the commission." ”
Hobart knew that the case that Barton gave him couldn't be so simple, but he didn't expect that this accident was to catch the thief?
Seeing Hobert's hesitation, Harvey Hayden said, "Those thieves don't even have guns in their hands, and they are surrounded by us on a mountain.
"You just need to help guard one of the directions, there is not much danger."
Stan, who lives here, was a little worried, "I can go and help." ”
"No, you don't." Harvey Hayden smiled: "Those thieves have knives and daggers in their hands, so for the sake of safety, we professionals should deal with them." ”
Then he looked at Hobart again.
Hobert could feel the sincerity in the other party's eyes: "Okay, I'll finish this bread and go with you." ”
In fact, Hobert decided to follow Harvey Hayden to catch the thief just now, because he guessed that Harvey Hayden should also know Rex and could extract some information about Rex from his mouth.
And he also wanted to see what surprises the "law of extraordinary characteristic aggregation" would bring him this time.
In order to prevent accidents, he carries the "Teleportation Stone Statue" and "Wood of Order" with him, and as long as he does not encounter an enemy in Sequence 6 or above who is determined to kill him, he has the certainty that he will retreat with his whole body.
Hobert finished his bread and said goodbye to the Stan family.
Stan happily gave the commission fee and gave Hobart some jerky and wild vegetables.
Hobart gave the coachman a portion of the jerky and told him to drive back first, he didn't know what time it would be over.
Harvey Hayden led the horse and walked with Hobart to join the others.
As he walked, he said: "Last night, a batch of jewels was stolen from Count Vincent's house, and the earl's son Simon immediately went to the mercenary club to issue a mission, so nine mercenaries, including me, temporarily formed a team to arrest these thieves.
"We followed the clues and found the three thieves who were on the run, and we chased them all the way here."
Hobart asked, "The home of the dignified earl will be visited by a group of thieves?" ”
Harvey Hayden whispered: "I also know that this incident is very unusual, Simon must have something to hide, but don't worry, I have seen the three thieves on the mountain, and there is only one Sequence 9 Extraordinary."
"According to Simon's mandate, it will be enough to capture these three people, and we don't need to intervene further."
Hober nodded, an old mercenary like Harvey Hayden, of course, would not get involved in the aristocracy's.
At the three-way intersection not far ahead, Hobert and the others converged with the other mercenaries.
Harvey Hayden introduced Hobert to everyone: "He is also a member of the mercenary club, and he was on a mission nearby just now, and I pulled him over to help. ”
The credibility of the mercenary club is very strong, and there are two mercenaries who know Hobert, and with their corroboration, the trust of the other mercenaries in Hobart immediately increases a lot.
Simon Vincent, the actual commander of the operation, also smiled: "We are short of manpower now, and you are welcome to join." ”
After a few sips of water, Simon began to assign tasks, first assigning two people to guard the horses and carriages here, and Simon, Harvey Hayden, and a "hunter" went to search the mountains.
The remaining six men worked in pairs and stood guard in the direction of the three sides of the road, waiting for Simon to chase the thief out of the woods.
On the other side of the road is the deep mountains, and the three thieves would not have entered the mountains if they were still sensible.
Hobert and a mercenary named Vico arrived at the designated location, where they found two adjacent trees, climbed on them and waited condescendingly.
After waiting for more than an hour, the two of them were a little bored, so they chatted without saying a word.
While discussing the Grain Bill, Hobart suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a coma, but then he woke up again.
Before he could understand what was going on, he saw that Vico, who was not far away, was already dazed, motionless, and sitting stiffly on the branch.
The "psychological spoon" in his clothes suddenly became a little hot, and Hobart realized that he had just been subjected to a psychological attack.
At this time, a richly dressed middle-aged man jumped from the ground to Vico's side.
The middle-aged man didn't seem to notice that Hobart was still holding on to his will, and he asked, "What's your name?" ”
Vico replied with a blank look in his eyes, "Vico." ”
Hobert also hurriedly pretended to sit on the branch, the enemy situation was unknown, of course, he had to pretend that he had been controlled by the other party.
The other party asked Vico again: "What are you doing here?" ”
Vico described their plan in detail.
The middle-aged man jumped under the tree, and Hobert vaguely heard him say to the other person: "It's confirmed, it's the mercenary hired by Count Vincent to catch the thief." ”
"Then don't bother them."
"Yes," said the middle-aged man, jumping back into the tree and turning to Hobart and Vico, "you will ignore the convoy that passes by here for a moment. ”
Vico nodded stunned: "Yes." ”
Hobert felt that the "Mental Spoon" was a little hot again, and obviously blocked another psychic attack for him, and he quickly nodded: "Yes." ”
