Chapter 268 The Theft Case with Ulterior Purposes

"Boss, a special mission. A strange thief appeared in the city. He is suspected of being a bloodline awakener. He has the ability to fly. He has already stolen the treasure houses of three nobles." Early in the morning, Zhu Lante handed over a mission slip to to Smallville.

Short in stature, condescending, able to glide and fly for a long distance, fast, has a certain combat effectiveness, and is very familiar with the terrain, suspected to be a new flying bloodline awakener in this city.

The location of the theft was in the southern district of the city, and the crime was committed in the middle of the night. The thing stolen was: gemstones.

The defensive vigilance of the security department of the city hall seems to be ineffective. The other party seems to have a unique detection method that can evade the security personnel for theft.

"Did the other party only steal the gems, and didn't move anything else?" Xiao Weier's heart moved, and he asked Rand carefully.

Seeing that Rand had always prepared carefully, he shook his head slightly and said, "That's not the case. Besides the gems, they also lost some gold coins, but the amount is so small that it's not worth mentioning. The nobles demanded that the gems be recovered, and the gold coins are fine. The mission rewards are paid by three nobles, totaling 500 gold coins."

"What do you think?" Xiaoweier didn't directly assign the task, but kicked the question to Rand.

Lante has long been used to it, so he naturally expressed his guess: "The night-flying animal-like bloodline awakener has the ability to detect, and the preliminary suspicion is that the bat bloodline awakener is very likely to be a local, of course, it is not ruled out." A professional thief who has been out for a while."

"If you are a local, then the low-level people in the southern district are very likely. Stealing gems is not the purpose, but gold coins are the real purpose. The gems are just to divert attention. You can give up the gems afterwards. As long as the gold coins are used, the other party's guilt will be cleared." It's very small, and the nobles won't continue to pursue it."

"What if it's an outsider?" Xiaowei continued to ask.

Seeing Rand hesitate for a moment, he shook his head slightly and said, "If it's an outsider, then his plans must be very small. The gold coins and gems may be disguised, and the southern district may not be his real target."

"Good analysis, but without investigation, you have no right to speak. This matter is temporarily left to you and the police dog. By the way, let Swift learn a little bit of experience." Flying, what else is faster than Swift? Although she has been promoted to a junior fighter not long ago, her hands-on ability has improved a lot. It is not a big problem to face ordinary junior fighters and junior knights. After all, what she has learned is very suitable for her, and she has magic runes and equipment.

After the meal, Xiaowei quietly found the ice cube and asked her to follow in secret to pay attention to the safety of Swift. In front of absolute strength, small tricks are not worth mentioning at all. Ice cube is a first-level blood magician, and he is the best among the first-level blood magicians Those who belong to the top ten masters in the entire Drake City.

During this period of time, Xiaowei has gotten used to going in and out with Lilith. Even on the road, the two of them can exercise while discussing some things about knight training and swordsmanship. They don't need to work too hard.

Angor is already halfway out of the teacher. In addition to training according to Xiaowei's arrangement and accepting some resources provided by him, he is more likely to practice with Floret at other times.

In Angel's opinion, the gap between Will, who has become a high-level knight, and himself is too large, and it is no longer suitable for practicing together. It is better to be a Floret knight.

There is only one level difference between junior knights and intermediate knights, and Floret, as the captain of the city defense army, is very good at training. He is a real knight family member. Although Xiaowei is smart, he has too little contact with him. , the cultivation of ordinary people is somewhat unsatisfactory.

"My friend over there, you've already followed us all the way, aren't you going to follow us all the way to school?" Xiaowei suddenly stopped, and turned his gaze to the big tree not far away.

"Don't think I'm lying to you. If you don't feel that you don't have too much malice, do you think you can leave the house of everything? Just rely on your strength as a senior fighter?"

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" The applause sounded, and a middle-aged man dressed as a mercenary slowly stood out from behind the big tree. His face was dark and his clothes were old but neat, with a sword slung across his waist. In the middle, there was a pair of tiger leather boots under his feet.

"It's rumored that Lord Vier Declan is a great genius who became an intermediate knight at the age of fourteen. I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it." The middle-aged man woke up respectfully, "My lord The deputy head of the wolf mercenary group, Nate Wolfe, has seen Lord Will Declan and Miss Lilith Kendall."

"Being courteous, you must ask for something. Tell me your purpose." Xiaowei waved his hand. His first impression of this person was not very good. How should I put it? Not a beast, this person is not strictly a good person.

"The theft in the southern district was done by our mercenary group. We know that these small tricks can't be hidden from everyone in the house of masters, so we will return all the stolen gems. I hope you don't interfere." Nate Wolfe The words were very direct, but Xiao Weier's eyes were fixed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Your mercenary group is from Mabster County, right?"

Nat Wolf was stunned when he heard this, and his heart skipped a beat: "Lord Declan is prejudiced against us mercenaries who were born in Mabster County? If I remember correctly, the Lord's father was also born in Mabster County. Sturtshire is right."

"No, I just want to confirm that last year we just helped Mabster County repel the alien invasion and shattered the conspiracy of the believers in hell. It can be said that we saved the lives of everyone in the entire Mabster City. What is the attitude of the people of Boothshire toward their benefactor."

Smallville pointed to Lilith and said: "The two great knights of the Kendall family have contributed a lot, and I proposed this expedition. Although we don't necessarily ask for rewards for doing these things, at least we don't want anyone to repay their kindness and help them. Let the followers of hell deal with the heroes."

Nat Wolfe's face changed slightly, "Lord Declan said cautiously, although our wolf mercenary group is lowly, we are not people who betrayed the race. We admit that we have done some bad things for money. But he has never turned to a believer in hell."

"That is to say, you won't embarrass people who fight against the forces of hell, right? The Kendall family, the Declan family, the city defense army, the city hall, the church, I don't think anyone would foolishly offend such a huge force."

"You must know that although the alien army retreated miserably, the hell messengers are still there. With the complicated form of Mabster County, who knows when there will be another wave. If the people of Mabster County reject the reinforcements themselves , then don’t blame us for wanting to die.” Xiaowei’s words were very serious, which made Nate Wolfe tremble with fear.

He very cunningly pulled the city defense army, the city hall, and the church into the same camp as the Kendall family and his own family. As long as he offended one, he would offend all of them, and he might even be identified as a follower or lackey of hell.

"We are only performing the entrusted task." Nate Wolfe's face was slightly livid.

Smallville smiled coldly, and took out a badge, "Then do I also have to perform my duties? The Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps from Mabster County, I have the right to arrest you based on your statement just now." arrest, and even mobilize the security personnel of the City Defense Army, the Church Knights, and the Security Department of the City Hall to arrest you in a concentrated manner."

"If what you have done really involves the main members of the parties I mentioned against the believers in hell, I can even launch the Noble Arbitration Court of Drake City to question Mabust City and ask them to give us an explanation. , don’t think that our Drake City’s help to Mabust City is free, and there are no small things between cities.”

Nate Wolfe's head was suddenly dazed. He just accepted a commission and led nearly half of the mercenary group to Drake City to perform a mission. Why did he suddenly become a lackey of hell believers?

"Don't provoke the nobles, the military, the government, and the church casually. It's not been a day or two since your mercenary group was established. Don't you have a little common sense in this area?" Xiaowei looked at the senior soldier in front of him very strangely, and then The arrogance of the reporter suddenly vented, "We owe the other party a lot of favors, so there are some things that we know we can't do."

"Even if you become a sinner through the ages and your family is ransacked?" Smallville's words were not alarmist, and Nate Wolfe's face became extremely ugly.

"I'll tell you a secret, I hope you can keep it for me." Xiao Wei'er saw his hesitation.

"After repelling the alien invasion, Drake City and Mabster City made an agreement, an agreement between nobles. In order to guarantee or maintain these heroes who resisted the invasion of hell, Mabster City will , all groups and individuals in this city who have participated in this war, as well as families and forces, will be dealt with the most severe blows."

"In other words, in the next ten years, if the people of Mabster County touch this bottom line, they will be regarded as the accomplices of hell believers and dealt with the most severe blows. You don't need to have any worries. If the person who issued the task to you is A person with great energy, then I doubt whether you have been abandoned by him, or you are an abandoned child."

"It's impossible!" Nat Wolff turned pale with shock, his face slightly uncertain.

"Then, deputy head of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps, Nate Wolfe, can you tell me who your target is? Before irreparable damage is caused, I want to know who dares to risk the world's disgrace , to deal with the heroes who resist the followers of hell, and which hero is being targeted by the believers of hell." Smallville's words made Nate Wolfe in a dilemma.

"Forget it, since you don't want to say it, just pretend I didn't ask." Xiaowei turned around and left very simply: "Just pretend that you haven't come to see me today, and I haven't met you, anyway, our people have already met you." It has been sent out, and things will come to light one day, I hope you can take care of yourself and don't fall into the hands of the church."

Seeing Xiaowei and Lilith go away, Nate Wolfe's palms were full of sweat. Is what he said true? Wouldn't it be deceiving yourself on purpose? But what if it is true? No, those people under him have already started to act! They must be stopped, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. On the other side, Xiaoweier has already spread the news.
