Chapter 374: Chapter 366, Is That a Mouse?_1
The interrogation records did not include information about the Orc’s right arm.
It could have been obtained from a previous interrogation.
Or, it could have been a collector’s item from the previous owner of the mansion.
It was just as well that the arm was not registered.
So that, Rebecca would not ask for it if she saw the record.
He stored the blueprint and the arm in his storage space.
Gray Bear came in from outside, saying, “Sir, the Lyss City army has arrived.”
Fang Hao’s team was responsible for capturing the people, while the Lyss City’s army was responsible for the interrogation and mopping up.
But the speed of the other party’s arrival was also quite fast.
“Replace the Nightstones in the room with torches, and take down all the paintings on the walls. Make it quick,” Fang Hao ordered hastily.
“Yes, Sir.”
Everyone acted quickly, taking down the Nightstones from the chandeliers and the paintings from the walls.
Fang Hao casually collected these into his storage space.
Through the window, he could already see the rapidly approaching torches.
The Lyss City’s army was about to enter the mansion.
“Let’s go, leave the rest of the mess to them and withdraw,” Fang Hao ordered once again.
Everyone quickly left from the other side, disappearing into the darkness before the mansion was completely surrounded by the army.
The army quickly surrounded the entire mansion.
The leading commander knit his brows at the sight of the bodies stacked all over the ground.
Such a large number of people!
Not only was he shocked at the number of enemies.
He was even more taken aback at how quickly Fang Hao and his men were able to successfully take them down.
“Commander, we found 6 men in black robes inside the room. They are seriously injured but appear to pose no immediate threat to their lives,” a soldier quickly reported.
Six Faceless Men.
No wonder there were so many guards stationed this time.
“Good, surround the area. Kill anyone who dares to approach or leave,” the commander loudly said, then entered the room.
Following Lady Rebecca’s commands.
He would immediately interrogate the prisoners once he received the message.
The city’s army would then capture them.
To shrink the window of opportunity for the Faceless Men within the city to react as much as possible.
This night was destined to see many of the city lord’s nobles and tycoons losing their homes.
The night was still heavy.
Fang Hao and his men found a cave.
They hung up the Nightstone, planning to wait there until dawn.
According to the plan, Fang only captured the people, leaving the follow-up work to Rebecca’s team.
Regarding how much information would be discovered, that would depend on who would be faster, Rebecca, or the Faceless Men.
The faster one would have the upper hand.
The Nightstone lit up the cave.
Fang Hao took out some food and water from the storage space, allowing everyone to replenish some strength.
Everyone chatted while they ate.
The current environment didn’t affect these bandits at all.
They were quietly discussing amusing incidents, women, card playing skills.
Some were chatting about what happened back at the mansion, taking pleasure in having managed to raid a nobleman’s estate.
Fang Hao silently sat on the side.
He took out the spoils of this operation.
[Orc Hero’s Right Arm]
[Category: Skeleton]
(Description: A right arm left by a Beast Clan hero, which after being preserved and dried has been sold as a collector’s item.)
Seeing the description mentioned it being a collectible, Fang Hao thought of the mantismen fossil he had bought before.
This arm might also be one of the items from some warehouse.
For those idle nobles, it might be quite possible to collect a dead person’s arm as a collectible item.
A single arm cannot be used to make a Skeleton Hero or be transformed in the Transformation Pool.
But it could be used to make a Demon Doll.
Now, he had already collected the left arm, right arm, skull, and wings for the magic doll.
It could be said that half of it had been collected.
Perhaps he should learn some of the alchemical runes recorded in the notebook to prepare for making the Demon Doll.
After all, the content recorded in the Demon’s notebook.
It was really not very suitable for others to see.
“Look at that! Is that a mouse…?” A discussion suddenly broke out near the entrance of the cave.
Everyone craned their necks to look in the direction of the chatter.
Fang Hao and his friends came over curiously.
Outside the cave, more than a dozen mice were carrying a piece of nightstone, passing by in the distance.
These mice were no different from ordinary ones except they were draped in cloaks, carrying the nightstone as they hastened on their way.
They looked like people in a hurry.
Also, from this distance, each mouse appeared to be balding.
A circular patch of fur missing from the top of their heads, giving them a unique look.
“What’s the deal with these mice, they’re even wearing clothes.”
“Could they be someone’s pets? I heard that the nobles in the city like to keep unusual animals as pets.”
“Who would keep mice as pets? Are you sick?”
“You can’t be sure, you’re not a noble, how would you know they won’t keep mice?”
“Boss, should I grab the nightstone from them? What would a mouse do with a nightstone…” one of the men seemed eager to act.
A single nightstone was worth at least 500 gold coins, and even then, it was hard to buy if you had the money.
Those mice were carrying it as if flaunting a glowing money bag in front of a bunch of bandits.
Thump!!
Grey Bear knocked him on the head, “You made no effort in the fight just now, and now you want to show off in front of the mice.”
The others almost burst out laughing upon hearing this.
Due to the distance, Fang Hao couldn’t see the names of these mice.
But from what he could see, these mice displayed a high degree of intelligence.
Being able to wear clothes, use tools, was not something ordinary animals could achieve.
Fang Hao didn’t make a move.
They needed to hide until dawn, there was no need to rob the mice of their nightstone.
The squad of mice soon vanished into the jungle.
Seeing the mice leave,
Everyone sat back down in the cave to continue their idle chatter.
Dawn was breaking.
Fang Hao took out some fresh clothes from his storage space for everyone to change into.
Everyone then directly walked out of the cave.
By the time they returned to Lyss City, it was already broad daylight.
There was a long line at the city gate.
Everyone needing to enter the city required inspection by the city guards.
Entry into the city never used to be this slow, there were twice as many guards stationed now.
Fang Hao and others joined the line, inching forward slowly.
They had all the required documents, entering the city wouldn’t pose a problem.
The main thing was to keep a low profile and avoid getting noticed.
“Damnit, what’s going on? I still have to work, at this rate, I won’t make it into the city by noon.”
“Stop whining, it’s obvious something happened in the city, or else why would there be such a fuss.”
“Whatever happened, you can’t hold up everyone’s time.”
“Shh! Quit talking, some noble’s son caused a ruckus here earlier and was almost taken out and beheaded. Keep your mouth shut if you don’t want trouble.”
“Yes, let’s not talk anymore. Last night, the city sent out its army, and they arrested a bunch of people.”
“Ah? Really?”
“Yes, let’s just stand in line quietly. You don’t want to cause any trouble.”
Fang Hao stood on the side, listening to the conversation around him.
From the looks of it, the military had already begun operations last night, arresting those who came under suspicion.
Soon, it was Fang Hao’s turn to be questioned.
After a quick check and identity verification, Fang Hao was allowed to enter the city.
The other members of his party also managed to get in.
There was frequent military activity within the city, fully-armed soldiers could be seen marching down the streets.
After he returned home and changed clothes,
He left again with Anjia in broad daylight.
They first went to the shop in West City’s commercial street, ate hotpot at the Enjoyable Hotpot Restaurant, then returned to their residence to rest.The next morning,
Fang Hao headed directly to the City Lord’s mansion.
