136 The Golden Cicada Escapes the Shell
Rudy left the meeting room. He didn't have much idea about the bargaining chip given by Captain Omar Hill.
With his qualifications, even if Captain Omar Hill forces him to be the deputy leader, there is no way to convince the public, and he will become a target of public criticism and an eyesore to many people.
And Rudy could vaguely think of the intentions of Captain Oomahir.
As she said, the death of Deputy Captain Lucas made the Greentown Knights very passive.
Especially not long ago, the Black Death Society caused a fire that shocked the whole country. The city of Glinton is already famous.
Now, the deputy leader of the Knights has been killed inexplicably, which puts Captain Omar Hill under great pressure.
In order to relieve the pressure, she must establish a hero, just like she did when she faced the crisis of the Black Death Society.
Captain Omar Hill promoted Rudy and molded him into a hero who turned the tide, but he downplayed the fact that the Knights suffered heavy losses.
This time it is a similar approach. Anyone who performs well in the case of the murder of Deputy Captain Lucas will definitely be taken advantage of and become the new banner figure of the Knights.
Rudy just doesn't want to be in the limelight. What's more important for him right now is to keep an eye on the construction site.
He had a feeling that the person pretending to be the young mage was the key.
So after the meeting, Rudy did not go to check on the body of Lieutenant Colonel Lucas, nor did he get together with others to discuss the case, but chose to leave directly.
Kelly didn't go to join in the fun, but was called by the secretary of Captain Omar Hill. Before leaving, she hurriedly reminded Rudy to be more careful recently.
Rudy could feel that Kelly seemed to know something about Lucas' death, and there was a solemn look in her eyes before leaving.
However, Rudy didn't want to be distracted by the investigation. After careful consideration, he decided to catch the fake mage at the construction site.
After leaving the Knights' station, Rudy was about to return to the monument's construction site, but at this moment he suddenly received a report from Black.
Rudy's expression changed. Unexpectedly, not even two hours after he left, a major accident occurred at the construction site. The scaffolding that had been built suddenly collapsed, causing at least ten workers to be injured or killed.
Rudy frowned. An accident happened at this time. Is this a prediction that the Knights would have a meeting?
It's just that the other party didn't expect that Captain Omar Hill's meeting would be so short and concise. It seemed that he had misjudged the time, so the meeting had already ended when the accident occurred.
"Are we going to take action?" Rudy boarded the carriage and looked through the window in the direction of the monument.
Although I learned that there was an accident at the monument's construction site, I also guessed that it might be the fake young mage who finally couldn't help but take action.
But Rudy did not rush back in a hurry. If his estimate was correct, even if he went back now, he would definitely be in vain.
If nothing else, the pretending young mage must have taken advantage of the chaos and ran away, taking with him the sealed object that was hidden on the construction site.
But Rudy was very sure that the sealing array of the sealed object was not that easy to break, and when breaking the sealing array, even the most skilled magician could not do it silently, and it would definitely cause violent fluctuations in magic power.
Rudy has been staring at the construction site for the past few days, actually hoping to wait for the magic wave when the other party secretly breaks the seal.
Unfortunately, the other party was very cautious and did not break the seal rashly, but chose another method.
It is impossible to carry such a large sealed object away directly. In all likelihood, it will still have to be transported by carriage.
Therefore, as soon as he received Black's report, Rudy ordered Black's crows to keep an eye on every carriage parked near the construction site.
Ten minutes later, Rudy returned to the monument construction site and found that the fake mage was indeed missing.
And received a report from Blake. A total of twelve carriages were found. Five are still staying in place, seven have left, and two have noble family crests.
"Nobles~" Rudy frowned slightly, these carriages with noble family crests were a bit troublesome.
Even members of the Knight Order must think carefully before rashly intercepting a noble's carriage.
It's easy to say what will be found out, but if nothing is found out, it will get entangled and cause some messy things like 'family honor' and 'noble dignity'.
But from another perspective, precisely because carriages belonging to nobles have this attribute, they are most easily used as a tool to get through.
"Could it be those two noble carriages?" Rudy thought silently.
But there are pros and cons.
Since you use aristocratic carriages, you have to bear the disadvantages brought by aristocratic carriages.
According to convention, aristocratic carriages must move slowly in the city, and can only travel at high speed when they leave the suburbs.
Firstly, it is to show the elegance and calmness of the nobility, and secondly, it is also to show the mercy of the nobility. There are many pedestrians in the city, and the slow movement of the carriage can avoid accidents as much as possible.
Therefore, the disappeared fake mage used the two aristocratic carriages. If they accelerated, they would immediately reveal their flaws. If they suppressed the speed, Rudy would have enough time to determine the whereabouts of the other party before they left the city.
However, just as Rudy was thinking quickly about how to find the real target from the seven leaving carriages, he suddenly said "Hey" and looked at the wooden house on the construction site.
It was a temporary resting place specially built for the engineering team. The fake young mage usually rested in this temporary wooden house.
Rudy returned to the construction site and subconsciously looked at the wooden house, but he was surprised.
"No!" Rudy screamed secretly and immediately rushed towards the wooden house.
With a bang, a simple single room inside was pushed open.
There are two single rooms separated in this temporary wooden house, which are specially used by the two rotating magicians. Although the conditions are very simple, it still has some privacy.
When Rudy came, the room was still locked, and he didn't look for the key. Green chakra flashed in his palm.
The thin wooden door fell down, revealing this simple room.
The room is not small, but there is only a relatively clean wooden bed, and a row of nails on the wall for hanging clothes.
But at this time, there were many rough and thick ceramic fragments scattered in this room.
"These things..." Rudy's face darkened. These rough ceramics were undoubtedly the large water tank that wrapped the outer layer of the sealed object.
Inside the water tank is a suspended metal box.
Rudy previously judged that the fake mage left in a carriage, all based on the premise that he took the water tank with him.
