Locke walked into the alley and stopped in front of the mansion. He sensed that there were five people inside, three of them were at the bronze knight level, and one was at the silver knight level.
After hesitating for a moment, he thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. Behind him, the undead barrier opened silently, and the strong undead man from Cool Town was summoned by him.
"I need your help." Locke said straight to the point.
The undead thought for a moment and nodded. After all, Locke had saved them.
"I need you to go inside with this screen ball and secretly record their conversation." Locke said with a smile on his face.
"Your Excellency Necromancer, I don't understand why you are doing this. The group of people inside should be easily dealt with by your strength." The strong undead man said with a shrug.
"Sometimes power can't change everything, such as changing other people's opinions of you. Only evidence and facts can do it." Locke still said with a smile.
The strong undead man nodded and said, "Drook is willing to serve you." After that, he took the screen ball and disappeared invisibly in front of Locke.
Locke found a hidden place to hide. This cat and mouse game made him feel inexplicably exciting.
Time passed by little by little, and just when Locke was getting impatient, the closed courtyard door finally opened, and the hooded man stuck his head out to check that nothing was abnormal, and then walked towards the street.
"Your Majesty the Necromancer, everything you asked for has been recorded. I have to say that for such a traitor, his soul should be handed over to us." Druker's body appeared and he handed back the Shadow Screen Bead. Said to Locke.
"Traitor?" Locke asked doubtfully.
"They agreed to attack the caravan tomorrow, and then kill the caravan before putting the blame on you. You have to be careful," Drucker said with a smile.
"Thank you. Without your help, I might have fallen into a trap. I promise you that I will find a way to return the undead gems to you." Locke nodded and said.
"It's no longer necessary. With your necromantic barrier, we can live more happily. The necromantic elements there are very strong. We can improve our strength there. If you need anything in the future, just give us your orders." Druk bowed respectfully. Bowed, and then flew into the undead barrier.
Locke shook the screen ball in his hand, turned around and walked towards the hotel.
Back at the hotel, he couldn't wait to know what was going on inside. His mental power was injected into the screen ball, and the images appeared out of thin air.
In the image, there are five people in a dark room, one of whom is the hooded man, and the other four are all strong men. Judging by their aura, they should be the four low-level knights.
The angle of Drucker's video was from the rooftop, so the faces of the five people could be seen clearly.
After checking the video, Locke learned that the four strong men were famous gangsters in the Western Region, with more than a hundred people under their command. It was said that there were strong men behind them, who often committed crimes in the Sai Valley area.
The Guarding Knights of the Western Territory have encircled and suppressed many times, but these bandits are extremely cunning. They will send people to join each caravan in advance to confirm the value of the goods. Once it is worth taking action, they will ambush in advance, and then attack quickly, and they will succeed immediately. Fleeing far away, deep into the Sai Mountains, no one can be found.
This time, they focused on Uncle Comb's caravan, and the hooded man was one of theirs, having joined Uncle Comb's caravan as early as two years ago.
This time, Uncle Comb delivered five trucks and thirty barrels of fine red wine, which cost more than 300,000 gold coins based on the market price.
For this reason, they kept strict confidentiality. Except for a few people who knew the truth, the other guards thought they were drinking low-quality red wine.
Unfortunately, this hooded man is one of the insiders.
He and Emma had an unexplainable relationship. He had outstanding looks and a sweet mouth, and he easily got close to Emma. It was probably Emma who revealed the details of the goods this time.
In fact, there are rumors in the caravan that he and Emma have slept together, and he may be the young owner of the caravan in the future. The reason why he can drive Locke out of the caravan this time is because he encouraged Emma many times. If he rewards according to his merits, He must have contributed a lot.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the sake of Uncle Comb, it wouldn't matter how many times Emma dies." Locke thought to himself.
Looking out the window, he was hesitating whether to inform Uncle Comb now.
"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door. Locke put the screen ball into the ring and opened the door.
Outside the door, the owner of the hotel stood respectfully. Seeing Locke opening the door, he quickly bowed and said, "Dear Magician, the hotel has prepared a sumptuous dinner, and I specially invite you to come downstairs for the banquet."
Seeing Locke's hesitation, the boss continued: "In order not to disturb you, all the other guests in the hotel have checked out. Don't worry, dinner belongs to you alone, and of course your pet."
The whole hotel knew that Locke was a magician. The hotel owner was proud to have a magician staying there and went out of his way to coax away other guests.
"Thank you very much. All the expenses will be recorded in my room fee." Locke did not refuse. Others respected him, so he naturally had to return the favor accordingly.
When we came to the first floor, we saw that the long table was filled with sumptuous dinners, and the standards were no less than those of important holiday celebrations.
The shop owner, the proprietress, Locke and Hui Hui, three of them and one gorilla, started to have dinner together. They exchanged glasses and talked and laughed.
After drinking until late at night, Locke dragged the already drunk Hui Hui back to the room. As soon as he entered the room, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
After a night of silence, when he opened his eyes again, it was already bright. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Locke suddenly woke up, slapped his forehead hard, and secretly cursed himself for drinking and causing trouble.
He cast a frost magic on himself and Hui Hui, which would help wake him up. After a brief wash, he dragged Hui Hui, who was still confused, downstairs.
The shopkeeper hadn't woken up yet, so he didn't bother to say goodbye. He took out five gold coins from the ring and placed them on the bar, thinking that the money would be enough to spend on last night's dinner.
We rushed all the way to Uncle Comb's mansion. In the empty courtyard, the white-haired old man with a cane was cleaning.
After asking around, I found out that the caravan had left for the Western Territory early this morning. By calculating the time, it should have almost entered the Sai Valley.
Locke was very upset and just wished he could catch up with them.
He hurried on as fast as he could, and when he passed by a horse-selling shop, he threw out a few gold coins, took a horse and ran away without even looking at it.
Hui Hui lay on the horse's back, rocking violently to wake up the little guy. He shook his head in a humane manner. He was still a little confused after drinking.
It opened its hand and grinned when it saw the small beetle it had been holding in its hand.
After rushing out of Rey City, there was an open field ahead. There were many caravans coming and going at this time, and Locke couldn't raise his speed at all. In desperation, he had no choice but to ride his horse and gallop on the land beside him. The dust thrown up annoyed the passing caravans. Swearing.
