Chapter 299: The Clue of the Mad Mage
Roy and the others returned to the surface, they buried the three companions on the spot, brought only some food and water and the proceeds of the tomb robbery, and all the equipment was left here, and returned overnight.
After walking for more than an hour, I came to the place where the carriage was parked before.
The two coachmen were also killed by the enemy, but fortunately the enemy had not killed the horses and drove the carriage away.
So a mercenary member drove the car, and the group continued to walk back.
You will need two carriages when you come, and one will fit you on the way back.
It was only after the carriage left the mountains that Alston returned the "teleportation stone" to Hobert, and when they reached the plain, the road was lined with villages, and it was unlikely that the enemy would launch another surprise attack here.
Auston then put the proceeds in the carriage and said to Hobert, "Thanks to you, we can take all these things with us, and you can choose a few more trophies." ”
Hobart nodded, and chose a pair of red eyeballs from the stone statue, as well as the properties of the human skin shadow, and the book in the tombowner's sarcophagus. BIquGe.biz
Hobert suspects that the eyeballs are supposed to be the core crystals of the Serapus Gargoyle, so the first two are extraordinary materials that can be traded with the "world" at the Tarot meeting.
And that book can be brought into the coffin by the owner of the tomb, there may be more important content or research results, generally speaking, the extraordinary people of the "soothsayer" path are half scholars, this will be a very valuable extraordinary information.
As for the five extraordinary characteristics, Hobert took a look at them, which were basically Sequence 9 and Sequence 8, and they probably didn't add up to the value of the core crystals of the six-winged gargoyle.
After Hobert had chosen to leave, Auston made another distribution, dividing the points into seven, three of which would be sold for gold pounds and given to the deceased's relatives.
Alston asked, "Mr. Hobert, where are we going to find you if we need your help in the future?" ”
Hobart gave the address of the law firm.
After everyone relaxed, they began to feel sleepy, and after arranging the order of vigilance and driving, Auston also closed his eyes and rested, and soon the carriage remembered the snoring.
Hobert did not sleep, he observed Alston and Pete, etc., and went into the tomb with him, and opened the sarcophagus of the tomb owner, and in their sleep, they did not have suicidal tendencies, nor did they show signs of being hurt in the dream.
This made Hobert wonder, could it be that the curse of the tomb owner would end when he reached Lina?
In that case, Lina would be really unlucky.
Hobert looked out the car window, and gradually heard the rooster's croaking, and gradually saw the smoke rising from the farmhouse, and gradually the sky began to light, and some farmers began to work in the fields.
The horses were pulling carts day and night, and they were tired, so they spent the whole night not making it back to Beckland.
As the outside of the carriage began to brighten up, Hobert found the scene outside somewhat familiar.
At this time, Alston knocked on the carriage: "Is this the way back to Beckland?" ”
Pete, who was driving at this time, said: "Boss, I went the wrong way, but I looked at the road sign just now, and I can go back to Beckland here." ”
Hobart saw an abandoned villa on the side of the road: "I'll get off here." ”
Auston was stunned for a moment, then knocked on the carriage again to stop Pete.
Hobert carried the painting covered in a black cloth on his back and got out of the car with his belongings.
In the corner by the side of the road, infuse the spirit into the necklace you just got.
This necklace has some of the abilities of the Faceling: it can transform into another person, it can use a "paper man double", it can perform divination, and it can create simple illusions.
The specific negative effects are not well known to Hobert, but through spiritual feelings, the negative effects are not too serious.
He used the power of the necklace to transform into Pete's form and come to the abandoned villa he had just seen.
This is the villa of the Henry family, and it was a case that Hobart received in Sequence 9, in which he obtained the "Teleportation Stone" and established a partnership with the Night Watch Squad.
Now this ownerless villa has become a little dilapidated, and the police cordon is still there, but the door frame of the villa is still empty, and the house is full of depression.
It is estimated that this villa will be abandoned forever, after all, there are dead people, and it is unlikely that someone will buy it.
At this time, Hobert's spirit sensed that a person came out of the villa behind.
He remembered that the owner of that villa was Mr. Polly.
Sure enough, Mr. Polly's voice sounded behind him: "Young man, are you also here to find the owner of this villa?" ”
Hobert was stunned, "too"?
He turned his head and smiled slightly: "Hello uncle, yes, I am a distant relative of their family, I haven't been in touch for a long time, and I happened to pass by here, so come and take a look, have they moved away?" ”
Polly sighed, "It's all dead." ”
Mr. Polly then proceeds to recount the discovery of the bodies of Henry's family, probably due to a non-disclosure agreement, but Mr. Polly only gives a general account of what happened, but does not say details that sound like ghost stories.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Hobart asked, "Has anyone else come to them?" ”
"Yes, some time ago, someone came to the Henry family and asked me about the Henry family."
Hobart immediately thought: Could it be someone from the House of Solomon?
He asked, "What does it look like?" How old is it? I probably know him too. ”
"He looks quite old, his hair and beard are gray, and he looks like he's been traveling, but he looks healthy and walks as fast as the wind."
Hobart thought for a moment, then he took out the pen and paper he had brought with him: "Does it look like this?" ”
He began to draw on paper the "mad mage" who had been in the city of Tingen and had taken away a "wood of order".
In this era when photographic technology was not yet widespread, fine art was a compulsory subject in universities and grammar schools, and almost everyone who had attended a few years of school could draw a few strokes at hand.
The same is true of Hobert, without the help of rituals, although the portraits he painted, although they did not have any sense of art, did not have the same sense of reality as photographs, but still painted the vicissitudes and the feeling of dust and dust on the body of the "mad mage".
Before he could finish the painting, Polly said, "Yes, yes, yes, this is this old man, you really know him." ”
Hobert smiled, "Yes, I know him, did he say anything when he left?" ”
Polly took out his pipe, and while filling it with tobacco leaves, he thought for a moment: "He said some strange things, what kind of family is how, and he said that he felt something incongruous, and the source of the incongruity came from Beckland and the like." ”
Hobart nodded: "Thank you for the information. ”
He planned to stay at home and in the office for the next few days, and go out and run around casually, lest he be found by a certain "mad mage" to find the "source of incongruity".
