Chapter 52: The Food Thief
"You haven't paid yet!" the Ombudsman chased after him, shouting at Allen.
"Uh. Alan stopped, touched his head, and smiled a little embarrassedly. It was not for nothing that he was called a stupid captain by the guards, he was always stubborn and simple, and he often did whatever came to mind, so he often forgot about other things.
"Whew. The Ombudsman gasped for breath and finally caught up with Allen.
Alan hurriedly took out the money and said, "Then can you make up for it now?" ”
"Forget it, don't give it to me. The Ombudsman crouched down and dressed for breath, and after a while stood up and said, "You're here to help Wheat recover the stolen money." ”
"It's seen. Alan smiled again and touched his head.
The inspector crossed his waist and asked, "Do you know how the money for the wheat was lost?" What are you going to do?"
"I didn't think much of it, and I didn't know much about the wheat, and I felt that asking too many questions would only make her more uncomfortable, so I might as well go and find it! ”
"Probably if it's a normal thief, but I'd like to know a little bit about this thief. The inspector said, at the same time he was a little shocked, looking at the man in front of him, he thought he was a complete fool, but he didn't expect that he still had a careful side.
"What, you actually know the news of the thief!" Alan was overjoyed, he thought he had no clue, but he didn't expect that there were still clues.
The Ombudsman continued, "Yes, I just saw a suspicious hooded man, and at the time I just thought it was as if I had seen it, and now after the wheat was stolen money, I remembered that the man was a well-known thief, Stealer Connor, known as the 'Stealing Thief'. What I've seen is not him personally, but his wanted portrait. ”
"It's this guy, it's said that he once sneaked into the palace and ate the food made by the court wizard for the king, so he was on the arrest warrant. It is said that as long as he knows which wizard has made the food, he must steal it. And once someone gets the precious ingredients, they will be targeted by him. He will steal those precious ingredients and let the good wizard make delicious dishes for him. As a result, he is a food thief. ”
"Yes, so such a person, I don't think he would go to the tavern like a normal person. How could such a person be staring at wheat, I'm a little strange, eh, that person, that's that person!" said the Inspector as he suddenly exclaimed, pointing to a young man who walked out of the tavern in front of him.
Alan turned his head to see that it was a young man wearing a hood.
This man is really a food thief, a stealing thief, a stealing thief, stealing Connor. As soon as Connor saw the Ombudsman pointing at him, he immediately knew that he was not doing well.
"It's really unfortunate that stealing children's money was exposed so quickly. It's not easy to look at that guy, you have to run!" Connor secretly screamed bad luck and ran away.
Thinking that he stole Connor, he even entered the royal palace and was not discovered until he ate all the food he had made for the king. I didn't expect that now I would be chased without even stealing a child's money for half a day, this gap is really huge.
Alan shouted angrily and chased after Connor, and at the same time, the short sword on his waist was already unsheathed and thrown towards Connor.
Connor caught a glimpse of something behind him, rolled on the spot, and after dodging, he saw that it was actually a short sword, and his heart suddenly felt cold: "I just stole a little money from the child, and I was going to kill it directly!"
He didn't know that Allen was a fool, a simple person, but very gentle and friendly to others. He helped Wheat during the journey, and he also knew that Wheat was a good boy who was serious and hardworking, and such a person was hurt. Especially wheat has no money, Alan knows that once the poor lose money, they will have to suffer a lot, his parents sold him to the Viscount's family when he was a child, but fortunately, the Viscount's family was very good to him, and he worked hard enough to become the captain of the guard and become a mid-level swordsman. A child like Wheat, once he loses his money, if he doesn't suffer any misfortune, at least he will suffer a lot. And Alan felt that Wheat was not a lucky child, otherwise he would not have been reduced to coming to Boom Boom Town with them. And he didn't want to let such a child suffer any more misfortune.
Allen, who shot with anger like this, was very ruthless as soon as he made a move.
"Is it necessary?" Connor was also a little upset, but then he couldn't speak anymore.
Alan had already leaped out of the step, and with one foot on the ground, the short sword that fell on the ground actually bounced directly into Allen's hand, and then a sword light had already slashed towards Connor.
Connor slammed forward, leaning back and kneeling to avoid the sword, but when he straightened up, he realized that there was already a bloody streak on his face.
"Intermediate swordsman, and the kind that is about to be promoted to advanced swordsman, I'm really unlucky to be home!" Connor sighed in his heart, turned and slipped into the alley.
Alan immediately chased after him.
When the inspector in the back saw it, he watched all this happen in surprise: "I didn't expect the stealing thief to go to the tavern." Do men only drink? Eh, I really don't understand men. ”
"Of course, if you could understand a man, you would have been able to marry a long time ago. Filona. Someone next to him said.
"Grandpa, you're actually there, shouldn't you be drinking too!" Inspector Firona turned around and saw that her grandfather was with a middle-aged man.
"No, I was just going to have a drink, and I happened to see you. Let me introduce to you, this is the leader of the 'Angry Thunder' mercenary group, Thunder Blake, and this Fertility Festival is preparing to let the 'Angry Thunder' mercenary group be responsible for maintaining order. "Filona's grandfather introduced to the leader of the 'Angry Thunder' mercenary group: 'This is my granddaughter, Frost Firona, an old woman who is almost thirty years old and can't get married. ”
"Mayor Kevin is so much fun. Miss Firona is a beautiful woman, and one of the female mercenaries in our mercenary group is thirty years old and still single!" Blake pulled out the poor female mercenary in his mercenary group without hesitation, not minding slandering others behind his back.
Firona watched the two of them talking and laughing, but she was a little worried, and was ready to leave immediately to catch up and see what was going on.
Captain Blake saw Filona's worries, and comforted with a smile: "That man looks much younger than me, but he is already an intermediate swordsman, and he is about to become a high-level swordsman. Even I don't dare to say that I can win against him, and although the Shadow Thief is famous, he is only skilled in theft, and he is not good at all in terms of combat effectiveness. So you don't have to worry about him. ”
Filona remembered the scene of Allen's brave battle against the stealing thief, and her heart was finally much calmer.
"Then let's go have some drinks, Captain Blake. ”
"I'm just in the mood for some of Rumble's specialty, Mayor Kevin. ”
Captain Blake and Old Mayor Kevin laughed and walked towards the tavern.
The strange thing is that neither of them seems to care about the stealing thief.
