Chapter 190: Kelly and Jessica's return gift
Throughout the afternoon, Hobert, who was in a beautiful mood, was very enthusiastic about his work, and was interviewed by a magazine and a newspaper.
During the interview, he frequently uttered golden sentences, which often attracted a burst of shorthand from reporters, and the reporters were very satisfied with this interview.
In addition, Hobert also did research on the case he had just taken on and formulated a corresponding defense plan.
In addition, he began to process the second batch of letters he received, and the efficiency was amazing.
When it was time to leave work, Hobert stretched happily and picked up his cane and briefcase to leave work.
Back at the rental house, Hobert saw only Furth.
After questioning, it turned out that Hugh had received a contact signal from the masked man and went to the agreed contact place to meet.
Hober nodded, trying to remember, how did he remember that Hugh would not receive the masked man's commission until much later?
……
The fog of Beckland, which obscured the sun in the sky early, immediately darkened the street, which was not very spacious.
Hugh only came a dozen seconds earlier than the agreed time, and the masked man had not yet arrived, she hugged her arms and watched her surroundings vigilantly.
It was a little over a minute before the masked man appeared.
Hugh said, "You're late!" ”
"No, I came before you." The masked man said, "You seem to be already a 'sheriff'. ”
Hugh understood what the other party meant, and the reason why the other party arrived early was to use this opportunity to observe himself.
"Yes." Hugh generously admitted.
"I'm curious, what is your relationship with General Christine's eldest son?"
"Does this have anything to do with the task you're giving me?"
"It doesn't matter." The masked man said gently: "You may not know that three months ago, General Christine's eldest son was still very ordinary, and he seems to be very active in the last three months, as if he has changed all of a sudden. ”
Hugh asked, "Does this have anything to do with the task you have given me?" ”
"It still doesn't matter." The masked man said, "Okay, I'll tell you about the task I'm going to give you today: track down Raft Ponte, here's information about him." ”
Hugh took the masked man's information, but didn't immediately look at it: "How long do you want to follow him?" How dangerous is it? ”
"For the time being, follow up for two weeks and get paid 20 pounds!" The masked man said, "There may not be any danger, but the level of danger may also be high."
"But you're only responsible for tracking, and if you find any danger, you can end the mission immediately, and then contact me with emergency contact."
Hugh nodded: "Okay, I'll take this task." ”
The masked man took out 10 pounds in cash: "This is the deposit, and when you report the follow-up results in two weeks, I will give you another 10 pounds." If an anomaly is found during the mission, the mission ends and the reward is paid. Oh yes, it's best to form a written report on the tracking results. ”
……
Hobert sat on the couch, looking at the "Beckland Evening News" that he had just gone out to buy, and sure enough, in the second edition, he found the chaos of this afternoon's Russell Memorial Exhibition:
“…… Regarding the chaos at the Russell the Great commemorative exhibition, the staff said that it was a farce caused by the baron because he did not buy VIP tickets, and it is reported that the exhibition area was not greatly affected, and order was quickly restored and reopened.
"Some viewers claim that they once saw an old man flying over their heads, and some people seemed to see the outlines of two gates in mid-air, and sure enough, it was Russell who was full of mystery, and his commemorative exhibition was also full of mysterious ......"
Because it happened recently, the report on the incident was brief.
Hobert smiled unconsciously, it seemed that the Church of Steam and Mechanics was going to deal with it lightly, and it didn't even plan to make the news of the robbery of the Creative Manuscript public.
With the newspaper upright, Hobert considered that in order to show his openness, and as he had said before Ikanse, he was interested in Russell the Great, and that Hobart planned to visit the fair in the next few days.
Firth had already prepared dinner, but Hugh still hadn't returned, and she had to wait for a magazine.
It wasn't until about half-past seven that Hugh returned with a bag of papers: "Thank goodness there is such a delicious dinner waiting for me, my stomach is almost hungry." ”
She put down her file bag and said as she helped Firth with her meal, "You don't have to wait for me. ”
Hobert put down the newspaper: "If we wait until eight o'clock and you don't come back, we'll eat first." ”
All three of them were hungry, so they quickly settled the dinner in front of them, and then sat around the table, chatting over tea.
Hugh spoke of the assignment she had just been given, and that she had been spying on a baron named Raft for some time, and might rarely come back for dinner.
Through Hugh's description, Hobert learns that Raft has been released.
The consequences were better than Hobert imagined, and he had thought that Raft would not be able to withstand the "interrogation" and go insane.
It is believed that the Church of Steam and Mechanics will also send someone to spy on Raft, for Hobert, this baron has no value, and for the sake of safety, he does not plan to observe him through the stars in the future.
The next morning, Jessica went to work as normal, and Hobart had a small meeting to remind them of the precautions of the cases in hand.
Not long after the meeting, not long after Hobart returned to the office, Jessica knocked on the door and came in: "Attorney Hobert, thank you again for giving us the VIP ticket, my friend has prepared a return gift for you." ”
As she spoke, she opened a small box with a keychain with a gold-colored badge on it and a symbol for the "Eternal Sun" painted on it: "This is a little thing made by my friend himself, not a tribute." ”
Hobart didn't refuse: "Thank you for me, friend." ”
Holding the keychain in my hand, I immediately felt the warmth of that badge.
Hobert immediately judged that when this keychain was made, a small amount of extraordinary materials of the solar path were added, so that this keychain had some extraordinary properties of the pathway.
Although they do not possess the ability to take the initiative, some undead creatures will avoid the presence of the keychain from a distance.
It's self-made......
Hobart was reminded of the lady he met at the "Eyes of Wisdom" party who sought a potion of "savages" and was associated with a wild craftsman. It can't be a combination of Jessica and Kelly, right?
Hobert didn't say anything, and chatted with Jessica, and during the chat, Hobert learned from Jessica that George III had also arrived at the scene yesterday!
Hobert immediately realized that George III was attracted to himself, or the "country of disorder", and it was precisely because he thought that George III had learned of the incident that led to the resumption of surveillance of Raft.
It is estimated that the Masked Man is just one of the forces that are spying on Raft.
Thinking of this, Hobert mourned for Raft for three seconds, no, for a second, and finally deceived the watcher by pretending to be crazy and stupid, but he didn't expect to start being watched again.
However, this surveillance should not last long, as the process of Raft's use as a pawn is too obvious.
Then it occurred to Hobert that in the future he should use the power of the "State of Disorder" in Beckland with moderation, although the process of George III's godhood was a bit hasty and the state must have been very bad, he remembered that he seemed to have taken advantage of some loophole to jump directly from sequence 5 to sequence 1.
But with the blessing of Adam, George III's current state should be delicate, and he may be more easily attracted by the power of the "disordered country" than the "king of angels".
After talking for a while, Jessica took her leave.
Looking at the keychain in his hand, Hobert didn't think much about it, and put it in his briefcase, although these two female extraordinaries showed enough friendliness, but they were not very familiar with each other.
After a full day of work, Hobart came out of the office with his briefcase, and was thinking about what to eat this night, when he saw a carriage with the "Holy Emblem of the Night" blocking the door.
Lorota opened the car door and smiled, "It's time to start!" ”
