Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

"Hahahaha, have you seen Jamie's old face?" Stan laughed.

The family was naturally happy, but they did not expect that the problem would be solved immediately as soon as the lawyer arrived.

They all felt that the 10 pounds was well spent.

Stan asked Hobert: "Mr. Lawyer, how do you know that the wild boar will definitely run to my forest farm? Jamie can't even blast it away! Hahahaha."

Hobert thought to himself: Of course I used my extraordinary ability to distort the thoughts of those three sows, and those piglets would only run after the sows.

Using his extraordinary ability to distort the sow's thoughts and solve a commission with a reward of only 10 pounds, Hobert always felt sorry for his extraordinary ability, as if it had made these abilities very cheap.

He said: "I happened to have read some books about the habits of wild animals. In terms of hunting experience, I am definitely not as good as you, but I know the habits of wild boars better.

"The location of your forest farm is more suitable for growing the food they need, so after being frightened, they will run towards you."

Stan said: "As expected, knowledge is wealth. I have been hunting all my life and I don't even know this knowledge."

It was already around one o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to the farmyard of the Stan family. The Stan family warmly entertained Hobert and the coachman for lunch.

While we were having lunch, the gentle sound of horse hooves on the road attracted everyone's attention.

There were three knights in riding uniforms, riding over leisurely.

From a distance, Hobert discovered that one of them he knew, the man who had introduced him to the attendees at the mercenary club party as "the son of the commodore".

Hobert remembered that his name was Harvey Hayden, and that he seemed to be the leader of the three.

Harvey Hayden waited until the three of them got close before dismounting, and then politely asked Stan for some water.

The Stan family were very enthusiastic and took their water bags to help fill them with water, and also invited them to lunch.

Harvey Hayden was about to refuse the lunch invitation when he saw Hobert greeting him. He smiled and said, "Hobert! I didn't expect to meet you here. Is your father okay?"

He used to be Christine's subordinate and seemed to have some feelings for this superior.

"Thank you for your concern. He is fine." Hobert said politely.

The two parties chatted for a while, and the water over there was finished. Harvey Hayden was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something: "We are catching three thieves, and we just don't have enough manpower. Hobert, please go and help. Wait." When the matter is over, I’ll give you a portion of the commission.”

Hobert knew that the case Barton gave him couldn't be that simple, but he didn't expect that this unexpected development would be to catch a thief?

Seeing Hobert's hesitation, Harvey Hayden added: "Those thieves didn't even have guns in their hands, and they were surrounded by us on a mountain.

"You only need to help guard one of the directions. There is not much danger."

Stan, who lives here, said worriedly: "I can go and help."

"No need." Harvey Hayden smiled and said: "Those thieves have knives and daggers in their hands. For safety reasons, it is up to us professionals to deal with them."

Then he looked at Hobert.

Hobert could feel the sincerity in the other person's eyes: "Okay, I'll finish this piece of bread and go with you."

In fact, Hobert just decided to go with Harvey Hayden to catch the thief because he guessed that Harvey Hayden also knew Rex and could get some information about Rex from him.

And he also wanted to see what surprises the "Law of Extraordinary Characteristics Aggregation" would bring him this time.

In order to prevent accidents, he carried the "Teleporting Stone Statue", "Tree of Order", etc. with him. As long as he didn't encounter an enemy of Sequence 6 or above who was determined to kill him, he would be sure to escape intact. .

Hobert finished the bread in his hand and said goodbye to the Stan family.

Stan happily paid the commission fee and gave Hobert some dried meat and wild vegetables.

Hobert gave the driver a portion of the dried meat and asked him to drive back first. He didn't know what time it would be until the end.

Harvey Hayden took the horse and walked with Hobert to join the others.

As he walked, he said: "Last night, a batch of jewelry was stolen from Count Vincent's house. The Count's son Simon immediately went to the mercenary club to announce a mission, so nine mercenaries, including me, formed a temporary team. Catch these thieves.

"We followed the clues and found the three fleeing thieves and chased them all the way here."

Hobert asked: "The noble Earl's home was actually visited by a group of thieves?"

Harvey Hayden whispered: "I also know that this matter is very unusual, Simon must be hiding something, but don't worry, I have seen the three thieves on the mountain, and there is only one Sequence 9 Beyonder.

"According to the mission issued by Simon, it is enough to capture these three people. We do not need to make further intervention."

Hobert nodded. An old mercenary like Harvey Hayden would certainly not get involved in the nobles' troubles.

At the three-way intersection not far ahead, Hobert and others met up with other mercenaries.

Harvey Hayden introduced Hobert to everyone: "He is also a member of the mercenary club. He was performing 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. With their evidence, the trust of other mercenaries in Hobert immediately increased a lot.

Simon Vincent, the actual commander-in-chief of this operation, also smiled and said: "We are short of manpower now, and you are welcome to join."

After everyone drank some water, Simon began to assign tasks. First, he appointed two people to guard the horses and carriages here, and Simon, Harvey Hayden, and a "hunter" went to search the mountains.

The remaining six people worked in pairs, guarding three directions on the road side, waiting for Simon and the others to drive the thieves out of the woods.

On the other side of the road is a deep mountain. If the three thieves were still sensible, they would not enter the deep mountains.

Hobert and a mercenary named Vico arrived at the designated location. They found two adjacent trees, climbed up the trees and waited condescendingly.

After waiting for more than an hour, the two of them got a little bored and started chatting away.

While discussing the Corn Bill, Hobert suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a trance, but then he woke up again.

Before he could understand what was going on, he saw Vico not far away with blank eyes, motionless, and sitting stiffly on a tree branch.

The "psychological spoon" in his clothes suddenly became hot, and Hobert realized that he had just suffered a psychological attack.

At this time, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes jumped from the ground to Vico's side.

The middle-aged man didn't seem to notice that Hobert still maintained his will. He asked, "What's your name?"

Vico replied with a blank look in his eyes: "Vico."

Hobert also quickly pretended to be sitting stiffly on a tree branch. The enemy's situation was unknown, so of course he had to pretend to be controlled by the opponent.

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 saying to another person: "I've confirmed it. They are mercenaries hired by Count Vincent to catch thieves."

"Then don't disturb them."

"Yes," the middle-aged man jumped back to the tree and said to Hobert and Vico: "You will ignore the convoy passing here for a while."

Vico nodded blankly: "Yes."

Hobert felt that the "Psychic Spoon" was a little warm again, and apparently blocked another psychic attack for him. He quickly nodded along: "Yes."

One more chapter.
