Having had a similar experience before, Grov wasn't as scared as last time. He glanced at his companion, as if to say: Now do you believe me?
Grov's companion, however, was completely dumbfounded, watching the little train engine "float" into the air, and finally disappear.
A dozen seconds later, his companion finally reacted: "Quick, quick, go get someone..."
The train engine was really stolen!
Grov didn't expect this time, how did the train engine disappear? Last time, it just "floated" in the air for a while before falling back down.
The two hurriedly went back to get people, and soon brought seven or eight guards.
But everyone found that the little train engine was right there, perfectly fine! Where did it float into the air? Where did it disappear to?
Just as the other guards were about to accuse Grov and his companion, one of the guards discovered: "Why is the train engine outside the tracks?"
Everyone took a closer look, and indeed, the train engine, which was originally parked on the tracks, had its wheels shifted slightly to the side, causing the little train engine to derail.
If it had been moved back and forth, it might have been pushed by Grov and his companion, but moving it left and right was a different story! Even if the two of them were strong, they couldn't have moved the train engine horizontally off the tracks.
The guards looked at each other, one of them said: "I'll report to the manager!"
The others also reacted, quickly left the little train engine, they felt a chill down their spines, and walked faster and faster, finally breaking into a run!
So the next day, the haunting of the freight train station was confirmed, and the "Machinery Hivemind" even sent two members to investigate.
...
Tuesday morning, Hobert, Fors and Xio were chatting and laughing while eating breakfast. Going to work after breakfast is a completely different mood than going out for a walk after breakfast.
The three had changed their clothes and were about to go out when Audrey's personal maid came to deliver a letter.
They got into the carriage and opened their letters. The content was similar. Audrey hoped to organize a "Justice League" gathering on Friday, and she mentioned in the letter that she would introduce a new member to the group.
Hobert thought, could it be that she's going to introduce Susie? Just imagining Susie sitting behind Audrey and speaking, there's a strange sense of comedy.
The three of them arrived at the Roselle Memorial Exhibition Hall together, and Hobert even greeted a member of the "Machinery Hivemind" he knew.
This member quickly reported the matter to Captain Ikanser, the Steam and Machinery Church's investigation into Emperor Roselle's "Creative Manuscript" is still ongoing.
Hobert, who had been there that morning, was of course also a suspect of the "Machinery Hivemind", but he was far behind in the list of suspects. Holamick and Ikanser didn't focus their attention on him, just checked as a matter of routine.
Ikanser heard that Hobert had visited the exhibition hall again, and didn't take it too seriously. After all, Hobert had said before that he was very interested in the set of mysterious symbols invented by Emperor Roselle.
However, subconsciously, Ikanser had basically ruled out Hobert's suspicion.
Hobert in the exhibition hall didn't know that his purpose had been achieved, he was still considering when to come again next time, he had to use up all the free tickets.
While absentmindedly listening to the commentator's explanation, Hobert was making plans in his mind, when suddenly he saw a familiar figure in the study area.
Although he deliberately grew a beard and wore glasses, Hobert recognized him at a glance.
It was Klein, who was carefully studying the exhibits in the study area. He had just thought, could Roselle have placed a "Blasphemy Card" openly in his study?
Just looking for it, Klein's spirituality sensed something, turned his head and saw Hobert smiling at him.
Hobert hadn't changed, he still liked to wear windbreakers, although it didn't look gentlemanly enough, it suited Hobert's temperament.
Another change was that Hobert's cane seemed to be longer.
Klein remembered very clearly that Hobert's cane could turn into an "Order Tree"!
Since they met here, Hobert said to Fors and Xio: "I met an acquaintance, I'll go say hello."
The two ladies who were concentrating on listening to the commentator's explanation, one said "Oh", and the other waved her hand to indicate that she knew.
Hobert and Klein came to a corner of the exhibition hall with tacit understanding. Today is a working day, and the memorial exhibition has been open for a while, so there are not many tourists.
There were also a few other gentlemen or ladies who met acquaintances, chatting aside like Hobert and Klein, their actions were not conspicuous.
Hobert asked with a smile: "Are you used to life in Backlund?"
"It's okay." Klein smiled: "Except for seeing the sun for only five minutes every day, and the feeling of dampness and cold, there's nothing else I'm not used to."
"This sarcastic tone is very much like a Backlund gentleman." Hobert smiled: "I was just trying to find a way to find you, I didn't expect to meet you here."
That's the truth, he planned to complete the commission this week, earn the bounty, and buy a sealed artifact with "Travel" abilities, hoping that Heyman hadn't left Loen.
Hobert whispered: "I have a commission here, to capture a member of an extremist organization, the bounty is 800 pounds, the strength is 8, but I think it might be 7 now.
"Of course, I think he will definitely resist arrest, so I will simply kill him, so I can earn more income, how about it? Are you interested in completing this commission with me?"
Although he made a small disguise in his words, Klein could completely understand.
Klein, who was also worried about money, agreed after a little thought. First of all, he knew that Hobert was already Sequence 7. A Sequence 7 plus a Sequence 8, if it was a sneak attack, it was not dangerous to deal with a Sequence 7 at all, unless the target of the capture had helpers.
Secondly, in Klein's view, Hobert was a relatively trustworthy person. After all, they had fought together, and he had also seen his deeds in the newspaper.
Seeing Klein agree, Hobert nodded and said: "Okay, then how about we meet here again tomorrow morning? I have an item he often uses, and you will be responsible for finding him then.
"After finding him, I'll charge and you'll cover. I'll take 50 pounds of the mission's income as an information fee, and we'll split the rest."
Klein nodded and said: "No problem."
Then he asked: "Do you have a channel to get mystical weapons? Weapons for men."
Hobert was stunned, then smiled and said: "I just saw a weapon last night, called 'Hurricane Axe'."
He thought to himself, this can't be blamed on me, you asked yourself.
Then Hobert briefly described the effect of the "Hurricane Axe".
Klein's thoughts were similar to Hobert's, the "Forsaken Land" was the best destination for the "Hurricane Axe", he asked again: "How much is it?"
Hobert recalled: "Within 600 pounds, I should be able to get a 10% discount with my name."
