When Rudy learned that this matter was actually related to the Ostein family, he immediately realized that the situation was serious and reported it directly to Captain Omar Sil.

Captain Omasil was also surprised.

In fact, Captain Omasil is about to be transferred to Stern City, and the last thing he wants is to cause trouble at this time.

But it just so happens that this case also involves the mechanics union.

This organization is very powerful and influential, and it is a group of highly skilled engineering men who are most likely to get into trouble.

Of course, Captain Omasil could not stop the investigation, so he simply left the matter to Rudy for full authority.

Rudy also understood what Captain Omasil meant. This matter can be investigated but try not to make too much noise.

Of course, it's not absolute. Captain Omasil's fear of trouble is only relative. If there are enough benefits or in exchange for benefits, like the one in Baima Town, she can also reluctantly do so.

In fact, Rudy didn't intend to cause trouble, he just cooperated with the investigator from the mechanics union.

As for how far the investigation can go, it all depends on how capable the investigator named Parker is.

Instead, it was the accidental mechanic that made Rudy wary.

It seems that the management model in the alchemy workshop must be formalized, and the control over the employed alchemists must be strengthened.

Otherwise, such loose management will not matter now, but in the future, many business secrets will be involved, and it is conceivable that the company will definitely be infiltrated into a sieve.

However, strengthening management is not something you can just talk about, it must be implemented.

This is bound to cause a backlash among existing mechanics.

To quell the dissatisfaction of mechanics, their salaries must be increased, which will be a huge expense.

Although Rudy currently owns 30% of the equity in the magic crystal mine, he has not yet obtained the funds, so he is really not rich.

I was thinking about it in my mind, so I had to put it down for the time being and wait until I had more money to think of a way to implement it.

And another big thing happened soon on Rudy's side.

Just three days after Rudy met the Parkko investigator, bad news suddenly came from the Knights.

The fourth team went to a small town below to perform a mission, and encountered a sneak attack by an unknown enemy. The entire team of five people was wiped out!

At this moment, the entire knights seemed to have been stepped on by the tail of a cat, and their fur suddenly exploded.

Although it had been attacked by the Black Death Society once before, causing heavy losses to the Knights.

But losing a team at one time is still an unacceptable loss, especially when Captain Omasil is about to go to Stern City. This is simply a naked slap in the face, making Captain Omasil unhappy.

.

Who is so bold as to destroy one squad of Knights at a time?

Not long after Rudy received the news in the office, he was called over by Captain Omasil.

As soon as he entered the office, Rudy felt a depressing atmosphere.

Captain Omasir sat behind his desk with a gloomy face.

There is no one else in the office except Rudy.

Rudy yelled "report" and walked to the front of the desk.

Captain Omasil didn't talk nonsense and said directly in a sinister tone: "Go and find out who did this!"

Rudy also said no nonsense and stood at attention with a serious face to salute.

This is already a naked provocation to the Knights, and there is no room for concession. The murderer must be found, and then completely eliminated. The most brutal means should be used to let some people understand that the majesty of the Knights cannot be provoked.

Back in the office, Rudy's face was cold and he thought silently for half an hour. Then he left the Knights' station alone and took a low-key carriage to the town of Stoke, dozens of kilometers away.

It was here that the fourth team was ambushed and the entire army was wiped out.

This is a very prosperous town, even a small city to some extent.

Because it is located on a traffic thoroughfare, and a very precious spice is produced nearby, the economy of Stoke Town has developed rapidly.

This makes the local lords very powerful, and the extraordinary beings under their command far exceed those of Lord Spencer and Viscount Grand that Rudy has seen before.

According to the information Rudy obtained from Captain Omasil, Baron Stoke in Stoke Town has at least a fighting force of more than thirty extraordinary beings.

Don't underestimate the strength of this extraordinary team.

Regardless of the high-end combat power, only in terms of low-end combat power and number of people, these people are already comparable to the fifth-level strength of the Greenton City Knights.

The reason why Rudy acted alone and secretly went to Stoke Town was to guard against these people.

If the fourth team was killed by these people, it means that there must be some amazing secret hidden in the town of Stoke, which made the Baron of Stoke take risks and kill a squad of knights.

If it was not Baron Stoke who did it, it also means that something happened in Stoke Town, and there was another force that was enough to eliminate a small team of Knights in Stoke Town.

Rudy was dressed in casual clothes, like a young traveler, and came to the town of Stoke.

He was accompanied by Black, the crow, and hundreds of crows selected specifically to listen for information.

Arriving at the town of Stoke, these crows were immediately dispersed. Their main targets were the town patrol team and the town hall.

As for Baron Stoke's castle, Rudy did not send a crow there.

There must be strict magical defense there, and it would be difficult for these ordinary crows to penetrate it. Rather than risking everything in vain and alerting the enemy, it would be better to find another way.

Moreover, those extraordinary beings recruited by Baron Stoker were nominally the town's patrol team.

However, as the sent crow flew near the patrol, Rudy was surprised by what he found.

At this time, the courtyard of the patrol team was actually tense. More than twenty people wearing patrol uniforms gathered aggressively, each of them fully armed, as if they were going to fight.

Although it was just a patrol team, as Rudy's vision extended, he discovered that these people were all extraordinary people.

Even though the strength is average, most of them are junior extraordinarys, some are apprentices, and only the two leaders are intermediate extraordinarys, this fully armed team should not be underestimated.

The leader was a bearded man also wearing a patrol uniform.

But Rudy recognized at a glance that this tall, ferocious-looking bearded man was none other than the lord here, Baron Stoke!

At this time, Baron Stoke was roaring, as if mobilizing before the war to boost the morale of his men.

Rudy could vaguely hear words like 'brother', 'despicable', 'sneak attack' and 'revenge' from outside the patrol.
