After getting up, Hobert first wrote a letter to the masked man, Byron. According to their prior agreent, the letter contained only the phrase "The goods have arrived."
After affixing the stamp and sealing it with sealing wax, Hobert took the letter downstairs.
Fors, now that she wasn't an apprentice, didn't get up early either, clearly planning to sleep in.
Hobert didn't disturb them. He toasted two slices of bread for himself, spread jam on them, and ate breakfast alone.
After finishing breakfast, he began preparing for his mission that morning. First, he broke off another "Order Wood" from the "Nation of Disorder", made it very small, and put it in his pocket for later use.
Then, Hobert took the pipe he had picked up from Heyman's hiding place, put on his windbreaker, picked up his cane and the wooden box containing the "Hurricane Axe", took a taxi carriage to mail the letter first, and then ca to the outside of the Roselle morial Exhibition Hall as agreed.
Klein had just arrived. Hobert beckoned him to get into the carriage and told the coachman to wait by the side of the street.
Taxi carriages were charged by the hour, and the coachman couldn't wait for them to chat in the carriage for a while longer.
Hobert handed the wooden box to Klein: "'Hurricane Axe'. The seller originally asked for 580 pounds, but I bargained it down to 510 pounds.
"You can either pay in cash now, or wait until the mission is over and deduct it from your earnings."
Hobert didn't overcharge. This "Hurricane Axe" was indeed worth 580 pounds, but Hobert got a considerable discount.
"I'll give you the cash now," Klein said. For him, this transaction was also very cost-effective, equivalent to trading for a Sequence 7 main material for 510 pounds.
One person counted the cash, and the other checked the "Hurricane Axe", and the transaction was completed quickly.
It was of course very inconvenient to look for soone with the "Hurricane Axe", so Klein temporarily stored the "Hurricane Axe" in the Quelaag Club.
It was already ten o'clock in the morning when the two officially started looking for Heyman.
Hobert took out his pipe, briefly explained its origin, and finally asked, "Before looking for soone, you can first divine to see if the owner of the pipe is still in Backlund?"
If he wasn't, this task would be troubleso.
Klein nodded, closed his eyes and began to divine. After more than ten seconds, he opened his eyes and looked at the crystal pendant hanging on his wrist.
The pendant was rotating clockwise. "The owner of the pipe is still in Backlund," Klein said, and then he began to use the dowsing rod to divine and direct the coachman.
Hobert couldn't help but sigh in his heart, diviners are really convenient for finding people!
If he had to do this commission himself, it would be too troubleso!
The carriage crossed most of Backlund and ca to the factory district.
The coachman was the happiest. He didn't expect to have such a big job at noon, and the entire morning was spent being charged.
Close to noon, the carriage circled around an enal factory, indicating that Heyman was in this enal factory.
Hobert got out of the car and paid the fare. After the carriage left, he smiled and said, "The fare is considered our joint cost. After the mission is completed, half of the fare will be deducted from your earnings."
Klein was obviously stunned: "You, didn't I hear that lawyers, especially well-known lawyers, have high incos?"
"The news you heard is correct, but for so reason, after I t you, I always wanted to settle these small accounts clearly."
Klein muttered, "I'm not the 'God of Accounting'. Why calculate so clearly?"
But in the end, he did not refuse to pay the other half of the fare.
The two first found a coffee shop, ate a simple al, and then Hobert first used the docunts issued to him by the police to check the details of the enal factory with the local police station and the industry and comrce departnt.
But Hobert was still a little worried, so he went to the bar near the enal factory to inquire about news.
Combining information from all parties, Hobert and Klein believed that this should be an ordinary factory. Heyman might be hiding among the workers, or there might be a secret room in the factory.
After all, the factory building was so large that it would be difficult to notice an extra room.
It wasn't until dark that the two people who had been investigating for an afternoon ca to the gate of the enal factory.
Hobert took out two masks made of "Order Crystal" and gave one to Klein: "It has the effect of anti-divination."
Klein glanced at the mask and asked, "How do we get in?"
There were still so many workers in the factory. They couldn't just climb in, could they? Besides, after they put on the masks, they would be more easily noticed.
"Just go in like this." Hobert, wearing the mask, walked in front.
Klein was stunned at first, then he realized that Hobert was an extra mber of the "Nighthawks" and had relevant docunts from the police departnt.
It's really good to have an official identity, Klein couldn't help but sigh, while recalling the ti when he also had an official identity.
But what he didn't expect was that Hobert didn't show his docunts, he really just went in like that.
Several gatekeepers seed to be very familiar with Hobert, greeted him with a smile, and even wanted to hand Hobert a cigarette.
Klein wouldn't believe it if you told him that Hobert knew them, but he suddenly rembered that the information he saw earlier said that "lawyers" were good at distorting their thoughts, and he didn't expect it to be used like this.
In fact, Hobert used the ability of the "Psychological Spoon" to hypnotize everyone he t: I am the manager of this factory.
Whether they knew him or not, everyone had to be polite to him, and they completely ignored the black mask on Hobert's face.
Klein continued to use the dowsing rod to divine and find people. Hobert followed behind and glanced at the workshop illuminated by the gas lamps.
Although it was still the steam age, so processes in the workshop had already been chanized.
For example, in the plastic shaping step, the worker took a piece of tal, which Hobert didn't know what it was, and put it on a mold slot.
The "hissing" sound of steam was endless, and a huge machine pressed down, and a basin was ford.
Of course, the edge of the basin had to be manually repaired.
The next step was to apply enal. The worker used tools to clamp the repaired tal basin and rolled it in a pool full of enal, and an enal basin was ford.
One corner of the large workshop was already full of enal basins, and in another workshop, workers were grinding the dried enal basins on grinding wheels.
Dust flew in the grinding workshop, like a layer of white mist. Hobert felt a little uncomfortable in his respiratory tract even from such a distance, and the workers walked in the dust to work without any protective gear.
Dang dang dang~
A dull bell suddenly rang in the factory. This was the signal to get off work. The workers poured out of the workshop like a tide.
Hobert and Klein hid aside, paying close attention to the crowd, lest Heyman slip away before their eyes.
More than ten minutes later, the workers had all left, and the machines were also "hissing" and venting.
The surrounding factories probably got off work at the sa ti, and the noisy production sound quickly disappeared.
Klein continued to divine, Heyman was still in the factory.
He led the way in front, turned a corner, and ca to the side of the workshop. His cane stood still on the ground.
Hobert and Klein were both stunned, and then the two looked at the ground together.
"Manager, what are you doing here?" a voice asked.
Looking in the direction of the voice, in a corner of the factory, under the not-so-bright gas lamp, there was a large piece of scrapped equipnt, and two people dressed as workers were guarding the equipnt with their arms folded.
Hobert had just seen them, so he continued to use the "Psychological Spoon" to hypnotize them, making them think that he was their manager.
Hobert smiled: "I heard that the grass at the base of the wall here needs to be pulled, so I ca over to take a look."
"You don't need to worry about it, hurry back!" said one of the people dressed as workers.
"Okay, okay." Hobert said with a smile.
Those two workers definitely had a problem! How dare they be so rude to the manager!
And Heyman was likely hiding underground, and the entrance should be around the abandoned equipnt.
Hobert continued to use the "Psychological Spoon" to hypnotize the two workers over there, but the content of the hypnosis changed: ignore the abnormality in front of you.
After the two put on their masks, Hobert slowly drew out his knife and inserted the scabbard directly above Heyman's head: "Order!"
Klein was slightly stunned when he saw the Tang sword in Hobert's hand. It always felt familiar, but he didn't know much about cold weapons and didn't know much about Tang swords.
