Chapter 434 Wanted

"Aha? The police surrounded the tavern?" Thomas couldn't believe it. "Since when did the Leiden Port police become so capable, they actually found the real culprit before us and launched an arrest operation?"

"I told you a long time ago, don't underestimate the power of the police. After all, they are professionals. The clues we collected and the reasoning we made have been taken into consideration by the police. Why don't we start rounding up the shepherds? Already?" Rebecca said with mixed feelings, "It seems like we've been busy for nothing this time!"

"Master, Miss Custis, I'm afraid you have misunderstood me." Bobby said with a wry smile, "The police surrounded the Red Tomato Tavern, not to capture some 'shepherd', but to execute police chief Andrew Mr. Snow's order to hunt down the gangsters who often haunt the various pubs in the dock area... Well, to be precise, they are the members of the 'Sons of Liberty' association."

After listening to Bobby's explanation, Thomas and Rebecca were dumbfounded.

Xiao Miao, Ah Zhi, and Mr. Benny looked particularly ugly. The so-called "gangsters" who often haunt the tavern probably refer to the three of them.

"I said... those policemen are coming after you, aren't they?" Martin looked anxiously at Ah Zhi who was sitting opposite him.

"I'm afraid so." Ah Zhi smiled wryly and twirled his whiskers, "I didn't expect such an accident to happen. It seems that we have to split up. I, Xiao Miao, and Teacher Benny got off here."

"Wait!" Joan grabbed the white rat man's arm. "There are spectators everywhere. You will reveal your identity when you get off the car. Where else can you hide?"

"I can't control that much. If we stay in the car, if we are found by the police, won't it hurt you..." Xiao Miao said worriedly.

"Sister Meow, if you trust me, don't leave in a hurry. I'll try to send you, Mr. A Zhi, and Mr. Benny out of the city, and go to my manor to hide for a few days to avoid the limelight."

Rebecca held Catwoman's hand tightly, her eyes full of earnestness.

Moved by her enthusiasm, Xiao Miao sat back beside her, frowned and said: "Since the police have launched a comprehensive search for us, presumably the arrest warrant with the portraits of the three of us has been pasted on the wall next to the city gate. It may not be so easy to get out of the city."

"This is a big trouble for ordinary people. Fortunately, there are four mages in our car." Rebecca smiled and looked at Joan, Thomas, Edward and Martin who were sitting side by side. Can't help you?"

"It's very simple, a 'disguise spell' can be done easily." Thomas snapped his fingers smartly, but he showed his true colors in just three seconds, rubbing his nose and laughing: "It's a pity that I didn't prepare this unpopular spell today, Joan, How much 'Sid Mana' do you have left?"

"Just enough to cast 'Disguise' three times."

Qiao An inspired "Sid's mana" and transformed it into three 1st-level spell slots, respectively blessing Xiaomao, Azhi and Benny with "disguise" to completely change their appearance.

Martin Smith stared blankly at Joan casting spells, his lips trembling for a long time before restraining the shock in his heart and expressing emotion: "No wonder the professors and classmates in the college say you are a rare genius. This magical way of casting spells is really amazing. Only a genius can do it..."

"If I hadn't witnessed you taking the entrance exam with my own eyes, and even helped you fill out the student loan application form for the Mage major, I'd probably have mistaken you for a warlock just looking at the way you cast spells just now."

"That's right. Joan's 'Sid's Mana' is amazing. You don't need to prepare the corresponding spells in advance. You just need to use any temporary combination of spells. This is exactly how a warlock casts spells."

Edward looked at Joan with envy.

"Joan can learn spells freely like a mage, and cast spells freely like a warlock. All the good things in the world are taken by him alone."

"Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you said. 'Sid's mana' can only convert a very limited number of spell slots every day, and it will be used up soon."

Joan didn't dare to say that besides "Sid's Mana", he has more powerful "Mythical Power" and "God's Tears", which can also be used to replace spell slots and cast spells freely like a warlock.

"Thank goodness for having an extra level 1 spell slot, even if it's just a 1st level spell slot, you still think it's too little!" Edward's face was full of resentment, "I only have four 1st level spell slots in total now... Sigh, Stop talking, the more you talk, the more sad you will be, people are more deadly than others!"

Joan shyly avoided his gaze and looked out the window, pretending to be looking at the scenery on the side of the road.

Just as everyone was worried, several arrest warrants were newly posted in front of the city gate today, and the trio of cat, mouse and dog were among them.

Fortunately, the "disguise technique" played its due role, completely changing the body shape and appearance of Xiao Miao and others, and the patrolman did not have the ability to see through the magic disguise, so he leaned up to the car window and looked at it for a few times, then waved his hand and let them go .

Bobby swung his whip to urge the horse, and the carriage drove through the city gate to the avenue leading to the suburbs. Everyone in the carriage looked at each other and smiled, all heaving a sigh of relief.

Just after noon, the gloomy sky for days finally cleared up. The bright sun shines on the farmland on both sides of the street. The mature corn leaves are wrapped tightly like swaddling babies, with tufts of soft golden hair on top, exposing a single grain. Full-bodied seeds.

From September to October, it is the corn harvest season in the Yalfheim area. The small farmlands near the city have been harvested, and the corn stalks are bundled into stacks of "small tents" and placed in the field to dry. As a winter reserve firewood.

The carriage gradually moved away from the city.

When the sun moved into the sky and it was almost noon, the cornfields displayed on both sides of the avenue were no longer small pieces of "checkerboard grids", but vast and boundless, like an endless golden ocean.

Most of the farmers who buried their heads in harvesting corn in the field wore a white turban, as if pieces of tiny white sails were scattered in the sea. When a strong wind blows, the tall and straight corn stalks stretch their branches and leaves, and these small "white sails" are submerged in the golden sea. There is no trace to be found in the waves.

Joan rested his chin on the car window, staring at the cornfield, and suddenly remembered something. He turned around and asked Thomas, "Is that cornfield by the roadside yours?"

"Well, from here to there, my family planted more than 10,000 mu of corn this year."

"This year, the corn harvest in Yalfheim is bumper, and your family will get rich again." Edward said with a smile.

"Good idea!" Thomas sneered, "Have you heard of the proverb 'cheap corn hurts the farmer'? The more abundant the harvest season, the lower the price of corn. Now the purchase price of threshed corn has fallen below the price per day. Half a pound of copper Duga, including shipping and storage costs, basically no money, but my family can't eat so much corn, so what can I do? I have to use it to boil sugar or make wine, and ship it to If you go to the Old Continent, you can earn some money."
