Chapter 443 Hikijaide Cave
Sure enough, just as Joan expected, within two minutes, Xiao Miao's stiff body trembled, like a sleeping person, struggling with the idea of staying in bed, and struggled several times before she got out of the restraint and fully regained her mobility .
While Xiaomiao was immobilized, her body was unable to move, her mind and senses remained active, and she could see everything that happened just now. After regaining her freedom, while moving her limbs, she scolded Big Jack for being insidious and despicable, and vowed to double the humiliation she suffered today to that monster.
At this time, Mr. Benny and the farm manager Freeman walked across the field row, followed by a group of farmers holding steel forks.
Teacher Benny saw that everyone was safe and sound, only Xiao Miao was full of anger and scolded endlessly, so he asked Ah Zhi what happened.
Hearing him briefly describe the encounter with Brother Jack just now, he suddenly said: "No wonder Mr. Freeman and I saw a giant bee flying over our heads just now. After that, all the activated scarecrows in the field stopped going mad and returned to normal. , it turns out that the 'Shepherd' has already left!"
"It can be seen from this that the man behind the remote control crazy scarecrow attacking the farmers is indeed the 'shepherd' Idar."
Joan noticed that Rebecca and Xiaomiao were confused and explained in due course.
"You already know that the 'Hub Clockwork' can remotely control the low-level structures embedded in the 'Sub Clockwork', but there is a detail that I haven't had time to talk about, that is, this kind of remote control has a distance limit. If the 'Hub Clockwork' Get too far from the Clockwork and the remote won't work."
"What is the maximum remote control distance of the clockwork module stolen by Master Rawls?" Xiao Miao asked curiously.
"About three hundred yards," Edward answered for Joanne.
"So the 'Shepherd' was so close to us just now!" Xiao Miao couldn't help being afraid.
"If it is applied to the battlefield, 300 yards is nothing more than a stone's throw. This distance is far from enough to ensure the safety of the commander of the army. In fact, this is the biggest shortcoming of the 'experimental clockwork module' at present."
Thomas looked thoughtfully at the jungle-like corn stalks in his field.
"If it is on a flat ground without shelter, we can easily find Idar who secretly remotely controlled the scarecrow. He chose to use the clockwork module in the unharvested cornfield, presumably because of the convenience of hiding his whereabouts. As for Brother Jack, They don't have much thought, they just kill people for fun."
"We happened to pass by the farm today and destroyed the plot of Idar's party. They must hold a grudge, and they don't know how to retaliate against us in the future." Martin was worried.
"I hope they will take revenge, so that we don't have to hunt them down." Edward looked murderous.
"But the enemy is not stupid. They will never come to the door to challenge openly. They are more likely to use their good sneak attack and assassination techniques. Unless we stay together forever and stay on guard forever, otherwise it will be easy in this situation where the enemy is dark and we are clear. Something happened." Teacher Benny frowned deeply.
Hearing his concerns, the young and vigorous Edward couldn't help frowning, feeling deeply troubled.
"Joan, you mentioned before that you have something important to discuss with us, do you already have a countermeasure?" Thomas asked optimistically.
Joan did not disappoint him, and nodded slightly.
"I have a way. Maybe I can lure the shepherd party to the place we specify at the time we specify."
"What are you going to do?" Thomas asked in surprise.
"Yi Rong returned to the pier area of Layton Port, went to the owner of the Red Tomato Tavern, and asked him to pass a note to Mr. Idar, who claimed to be a naturalist, and asked him to meet and talk about the meteorite in Beaver Village."
Joan lowered his voice and looked deeply.
"Just leave a note... Will Idar really come? Will he see it as a trap?" Thomas asked worriedly.
"If I am willing to spend 3,000 Gold Duga to collect a meteorite, then this meteorite is probably worth more than 30,000 Gold Duga to me. Even if I know it is risky, I can't help but go to the appointment." Martin Smith said quietly explain.
"Mr. Smith's analysis of the mentality of the 'Shepherd' is very reasonable, and I also think he will come to the appointment, but what kind of meteorite is it that fascinates him so much?" Teacher Benny looked at him in surprise. joan.
Joan hesitated to speak.
Rebecca saw that he didn't want to talk about this topic, so she quickly interrupted Mr. Benny's questioning, and rushed to say: "What's the use of meteorites, I'm afraid only Idar knows. Our purpose is just to trick him into showing up. Meteorite details!"
"That's true." Teacher Benny shrugged and stopped asking about the meteorite.
"Joan, when are you going back to the city?" Thomas asked.
"Let's go now."
"That's fine, you go and come back quickly, let's get rid of the remaining scarecrows first, and wait for you to come back for dinner at the farm."
Joan nodded, and cast a spell to transform into an eagle form. In order to avoid being ambushed by the "shepherd" party during the flight, he also planned to bless the "invisibility technique".
At this time, Rebecca stuffed a heavy purse into his hand, and said softly, "Go back to the city and help me buy something along the way."
"buy what?"
"Cold iron bullets can be sold at Yangbo Trading Company. If you buy two hundred gold coins, it is almost enough."
"How many cold iron bullets can I buy with two hundred gold coins?" Ah Zhi leaned over and asked eagerly.
"20 rounds." Qiao An often goes to Yangbo Trading Company and is familiar with the prices of various commodities. "The cold iron bullets are very heavy, and 10 rounds weighs about a pound."
"I don't care if it's heavy or not. What I care about is how expensive this thing is. It costs more money than shooting gold bullets!" Ah Zhi couldn't help but howl poorly.
"The price of cold iron is not cheaper than gold, and the processing cost of bullets is also included. This price can already be called a conscience."
Joan felt it was her duty to do justice to Mr. Havel, the manager of the firm.
"Oh, it's expensive, so I still have to buy it." Ah Zhi took out his wallet, "Joan, bring me a cold iron bullet that costs 100 gold coins."
Rebecca stopped Joan from taking Azhi's wallet, and said with a smile: "Everyone is here to fight against the evil party. There is no need to make a clear distinction. When Joan helped me buy bullets, I brought them to Mr. Azhi. Just a few."
"How dare you make Miss Custis spend money..." Ah Zhi rubbed his hands, embarrassed.
"Mr. Azhi, you don't have to be polite to Rebecca. Her family has more than 20,000 acres of plantation, and it's not short of these few pennies!" Thomas laughed and coaxed.
"Anyway, I don't have any money like you!" Rebecca gave Thomas an angry look, held Joan's arm, looked up at his face and exhorted softly: "Be careful on the road, go and come back quickly."
"I know it."
Joan spread out his eagle wings and flew into the air, waved goodbye to Rebecca and others, and disappeared out of thin air with the blessing of "invisibility".
