Long-term goals aside, Ouyang Dao's immediate short-term goal is to deliver safely. Ouyang Dao touched his left breast pocket, looking forward to this trip even more. In the left pocket there is a small cloth pouch with three layers of seals on the outside and a high-resistance protective array inside.

The small bag that Fiona handed him before his departure, unlike the trial biotite, was the centerpiece of the trip. In Fiona's words, the importance of both can be summed up simply: biotite can be lost, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, and if the package is lost, then don't think about other deals.

Fiona cautiously reminded Ouyang Dao that his journey was likely to be known by others, and if the information was not kept secret enough, he would likely be targeted along the way. After analyzing this possibility, Ouyang Dao finally chose to take the last ruthless Robert. The other two have already gone to hell, and if anything happens on this trip, this would be the best way to reunite the three of them.

Of course, Ouyang Dao left him a way out, and if it was handled properly, Ouyang Dao didn't mind sparing his life. But there is also a problem with this journey, Robert has plenty of opportunities to get rid of his hidden identity, and normal people don't pursue him because of who he is and what he does. As for Ouyang Dao's choice, it was up to Robert to decide. Several people headed west from the capital to the town of Colin, a transportation hub to the west of the capital.

On his way from the king's capital to the town of Corin, Ouyang Dao encountered many caravans, most of which had a large number of guards, and hunters could often be seen in the caravanserais. Caravanserais are one of the main sources of income for the Hunters' Guild, and the druid's career path is firmly in the hands of the Guild, which is also known for its global meat production.

This is the legacy of the Church of Mother Earth, and the legend of Druidism has been the object of prying eyes at the Temple of Titans and Elves. Robert was nervous to see so many hunters, the items they were escorting were dark after all, inherently incompatible with the duties of hunters. As soon as Robert is nervous, his body moves unnaturally. He looks like a robot. When he was like this, many hunters looked at him.

Ouyang Dao saw this scene with a sad face. "Uncle Robert, where are we going next?" My dad is very sick this time, Uncle Robert will be in trouble on the road," he said, Ouyang Tao hugged the briefcase tightly, seeing his action, many hunters had their own guesses. A few servants, but it looked like the young man was going out for the first time, and the convoy might have something else to do.

"Don't worry, young master, if we complete the task, his master will be cured," Robert replied to Ouyang Dao respectfully, a move that confirmed the suspicions of the other hunters. Under normal circumstances, the fate of the family was now in the hands of this old servant, who must have been once contemptuous, now religious, and probably had other plans. In this way, Robert's nervousness when he saw the hunter could be explained, and Ouyang Dao looked at the hunters around him blankly and breathed a sigh of relief. When the other caravans were far away, Ouyang Dao glanced at Robert coldly. "I don't want to have another accident like this"

Robert trembled reverently. Without saying a word, Ouyang Dao and his entourage reached Corinth before dark, by which time most of the caravan had already left, and the rest had already assembled at the only inn in the town to wait for tomorrow's train.

Colin's inn, the transportation hub in the western part of the kingdom, was so large that when Ouyang Dao arrived, there were already five caravans, or nearly 200 people, in the town. Even so, there are enough empty rooms for four people to choose from.

But there were no more than four rows of rooms, no more than three rows in one row, and the two men who followed behind looked at each other and asked in a low voice, "Can we share a room?"

Ouyang Dao frowned, suddenly turned around and ate and drank in the crowd and asked, "May I ask if the fourth and seventh floors are a friend's book?" If it is convenient, I want to change the room There was silence in the dining room, and then, when it was time to eat, when it was time to speak, no one wanted to talk to Ouyang Dao.

"I'll give you money!" I'm going out with three guards, I want to live together," Ouyang Dao shouted again, holding a wallet in his hand. Ouyang Dao said: "One more room, 50 pieces of gold, no more." There was a low burst of laughter in the hall. The hotel is a six-story building with about 50 rooms on each floor, but as the number of floors above ground increases, so does the luxury of the rooms.

In addition to the waiters and hired professional bodyguards, the five caravans had about 100 regular members, who would naturally opt for the first three tiers, which were the cheapest. Looking up from the fourth floor, there are people who are either professionals or businessmen who are not willing to exchange their room for 50 pieces of gold. Ouyang Dao shouted again, but no one answered, so he accosted the guards and asked them to share a room.

"I'm sorry, at such a critical moment, you are all willing to travel with me, I can only book one room," Ouyang Dao said, but Ouyang Dao's perfunctory hypocrisy was obvious. The two gang members waved their hands as if nothing had happened. They knew that this was acting, but they didn't want to be disrespectful to Ouyang Dao. Ouyang Dao looked at these two people a little disappointed, but he also understood that it was forced to really want these two ordinary members to break out into emperor-level actions.

With the key, the four of them went upstairs, although the hotel was very large, but the sound effect was not good, and the people sitting in the hall could still vaguely hear the sound of the fourth floor. Robert expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the guards and expressed his admiration for Ouyang Dao.

The hunter heard the sound of movement coming from upstairs in the hall, and every eye flashed a hint of helplessness. "Teacher, this Gaia is a fool who trusts his old butler at such an obvious time," said the young hunter, her eyes full of the urge to punish the wicked and do good. "He's stupid, but he's just an ignorant young man, teacher, let's arrest his old butler!"

Henry, the middle-aged hunter, shook his head slightly, "Relax, Duchess Elena, Duchess of Lugo, we have no proof," he said to his young apprentice, "but Robert's attitude is so obvious..."

Duchess Elena, Duchess Lugo pouted disapprovingly, Henry patted her, got up and went upstairs. "We should be on the same train as him, so if you have the chance, remind him on the way"

It was a quiet night, the Colin Hotel was silent, the consuls and guards of the caravan were asleep, and most of the professionals had saved their strength for emergencies.

"My stuff is gone, catch the thief!" The sudden shout woke up the crowd, and Ouyang Dao, a middle-aged man about 50 meters away from the room where they lived, also walked out of the room.

The matter attracted attention, Henry and Princess Elena, Duchess of Lugo were in the crowd, there were the most professional personnel on the scene, but only six hunters were in charge.

"The most important thing now is to find out what was missing, Boss Chris, how did you find the thief?" A pair of hunter brothers said that they were employed by the largest of the five caravans and were very generous to each other. Neither brother slept. Before Chris could speak, they first explained to the other professionals: "We all stayed up all night and didn't notice any energy fluctuations, so we wondered if Boss Chris was mistaken."

Then the hunter, coming out of the next room, said, "I'm sleeping in room 416 tonight, and there's no movement."

"Mr. Karrh, why do you think I'm delusional?" Chris was a little annoyed, he just opened the door and led them into the room. The hunters followed, and Ouyang Dao stood outside the door watching. The most conspicuous items in Chris's room are two large boxes, which Chris drags over and opens in front of the crowd. Inside the box is a layer of dark soil with 36 seedlings inside.

"Actually, I'm in the herbal medicine business, and these two boxes are the seedlings I bought recently. You don't have to look at the box, but it actually has a lot of internal fixation, and it doesn't touch the seedlings inside, no matter how big the external impact is," he said, pointing to a green plant in the box. To prevent theft, I planted a ring of worthless ordinary saplings in the outermost layer. If it were a normal box, these outermost seedlings would definitely be damaged, but because my box has been specially treated, it will not actually be damaged.

But now, you see, there is a clear cut in the leaf of this seedling. The thief cut it off and tested it, and then found that it was worthless, so he put it back, and there was indeed some slight loss in the leaves.

At this point, the Henry, Caro, and Hunt brothers stop talking, leaving an older hunter to ask Chris what happened. Now that the evidence is clear, several hunters began their investigation, first by eliminating the smell of the beast, and then by detecting elemental fluctuations and residual energy. But after some practice, the hunters did not find any specific clues.

Faced with all this, Chris fidgeted. He burst through the door and scolded the crowd. "I know there must be thieves among you, and now I know what the most important thing in my room is, but I advise you not to have any malice, because from now on, I will not take a step with these boxes" Master Chris, we don't want this to happen, but please don't insult our honor In the face of Chris's accusations, an old man on crutches was the first to refute. The old man was well-dressed, and his cane was neatly carved with violet flowers, like an old nobleman. "I respect you, sir, but some people don't respect themselves"

Chris glanced at the crowd and said in a hateful tone, "He can appear in my room today, and in several rooms in the future." Gaia brothers, be careful with your briefcases" Ouyang Dao's face changed when he heard this, and he rushed back to the room. Chris looked at Ouyang Dao's movements and said happily, I suggest that you also be careful, if necessary, I think we should take turns guarding the knight frowned, and the old hunter joined him and whispered something. "In that case, I think it will be necessary to arrange a night patrol," began the gentleman, and his chamber of commerce officers looked at each other, and at last sent a man downstairs to call the guards.

God's reserve has infected several others, but there are still a few people resting on the fourth floor, except for God and Chris, the other two caravan captains sleep on the top floor. One of them hesitated for a moment and ran over to report. The other butler thought about it for a moment and directly agreed to send someone. Ouyang Dao came out with his briefcase, and everyone discussed how to disperse the patrol. Ouyang Dao said to Chris: "Fortunately, my things are fine, thank you for the tips." ”

But Chris twitched unnaturally under Ouyang Dao's gaze. Just then, the innkeeper announced that he had found a body outside the inn. The hunters ran down the stairs, and when Ouyang Dao went downstairs, the corpse was completely surrounded. "It appears to have been an accidental fall while climbing the outer wall, the incident happened suddenly, without protection, and died instantly"

"Thief, it looks like the serpentine dagger can transform itself, being able to mimic the shape of a rune key". The deceased's fingers had five colors, so he was a thief? Any accident can happen. By the way, Chief, in which direction was the body found?" and then they went to the hotel again, but in the end, we found nothing. The body was on the northeast side of the hotel, but all but the fifth floor was empty. And the fifth floor is a luxury suite, which is not the master bedroom in this direction.

Now that the thief has been discovered, and the other has died in an accident, and no one has found the stolen belongings, that's how it goes. The owner of the local inn carried the body out and did not know what to do with it. From beginning to end, Ouyang Dao had been looking at Chris's face, but he hadn't noticed anything. Then they went back to rest, but the night patrol was not canceled.

Although the killer is dead, everyone's nerves have not relaxed, they have not spoken one night, and they are all a little depressed when they get up the next day to meet. By this time, Chris had gathered a caravan, and a dozen people marched around the boxes, which had been disguised and sold directly to the innkeeper. The old knight saw something strange.

Of all the people, only his caravan was the most normal, simply trading goods. Of the other four, Chris is a herbalist and the brothers are in charge of a legion that is the most guarded and well-equipped. The owner of the ship who hired Henry was a bit of a mystery and rarely appeared in public, and the actual running of the caravan was entirely the responsibility of Henry and a few caretakers.

The strangest thing was the only caravan that didn't hire hunters. Ouyang Dao and the last captain looked at each other, then turned their heads again.

"Oops, looks like a colleague"
