Hogan adjusted his posture and leaned against the sofa. He stared at the drunken Feng Chou and asked word by word, "Allen?
Did you really find the Green Owl?
I heard that the Green Owl is very rare and lives in the mountains where there are few people. It's very difficult to find them. "
Feng Chou waved his hand proudly and said, "That's right, you're right. Even the most experienced Hunter would have a hard time finding traces of the Verdant Owl, but I'm different. I once helped a new Mage from the Mage School to capture the Verdant Owl. That Mage told me a lot about the Verdant Owl's habits and activities. With these habits, I can find the Verdant Owl much easier than the average person."
At this point, Feng Chou leaned forward and asked, "Do you want to know what their habits are?"
"Let's hear it," Hogan said.
Feng Chou extended his left hand in front of Hogan.
Hogan looked at Feng Chou in confusion. Feng Chou said, "Two thousand crowns. Since we're friends, I'll sell this secret to you for only two thousand crowns."
Hogan sneered and slapped Feng Chou's hand away. "This isn't worth two thousand crowns. No, it's not even worth a cent."
Feng Chou retracted his hand and said unhappily, "Hey, this secret is going to earn me five hundred crowns!"
After finishing the last mouthful of wine, Feng Chou put down the cup and stood up shakily. He looked at Hogan, who was staring at him, and mumbled, "Hey, Hogan, my friend, you don't have to look at me like that. I won't really kidnap your lord's son. I'm not stupid enough to provoke a lord who has dozens of knights under his command!"
Looking at Feng Chou's back as he staggered out of the living room, Hogan fell into deep thought.
After leaving Hogan's house, Feng Chou's hazy eyes immediately became clear. He lowered his head and slowly walked back to the Red Lion.
Back at the tavern, Feng Chou burrowed into his room and fell asleep.
He slept until the evening before Feng Chou came out of the room.
The sleepy Feng Chou went downstairs and went straight to his usual seat. He called for the waiter and ordered a pork pie and a cup of ale.
After the waiter left, Feng Chou rubbed his eyes and cheeks as if he was still not completely awake.
At that moment, a figure sat opposite him.
Feng Chou looked up and saw that it was Hogan.
Hogan held two oak wine cups and placed one cup in front of Feng Chou. Feng Chou unceremoniously raised the cup and took a big gulp.
The wine cup was filled with expensive Casablanca gold wine, which was said to be produced in the city of Casablanca. The wine was amber in color and had a sweet and mellow taste. It was the most expensive wine in the Red Lion.
After taking a sip of the wine, Feng Chou exhaled a breath that reeked of alcohol and looked intoxicated.
When Feng Chou put down the wine cup, Hogan pretended to ask casually, "You said this afternoon that you found traces of the Green Owl?"
Feng Chou looked at Hogan in confusion. He frowned and looked like he was deep in thought. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Did I say that?"
After saying that, he rubbed his head in annoyance. "Oh, okay. I always talk nonsense after I drink too much. Don't take it to heart …"
After saying that, Feng Chou looked up and saw Hogan's disbelieving eyes. He shrugged helplessly and said, "That's right. I did find traces of the Green Owl. I'm good at this."
When Feng Chou was talking, Hogan kept staring at Feng Chou's eyes, as if trying to determine if he was telling the truth.
After Feng Chou finished speaking, Hogan was silent for a while. He raised his wine cup and took a sip. He asked in a low voice, "You said that the Green Owl is a very stubborn bird of prey. Once it is captured by humans, it will die very quickly?
So, you must have a mage who wants to sign a contract with a Green Owl as a magical pet and follow the team that hunts the Green Owl? "
Hearing that, Feng Chou scratched the back of his head and said unhappily, "This damn wine!
Why don't I remember saying that at all? "
Seeing Hogan staring at him, he shrugged and said, "That's true. It's not a secret anyway. Every mage apprentice knows this."
Hogan was silent for a while again. He suddenly leaned close to Feng Chou and said, "You said you wanted to kidnap Young Master Cizé?"
Feng Chou shook his head hard in shock and said in a low voice, "Of course not. Heavens, Hogan, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Hogan stared at Feng Chou with a burning gaze and said word by word, "You're right. Baron Amborite is indeed the richest Baron in Antalya. Young Master Cizé is the most outstanding genius in magic in the House of Amborite in the past century, the only son of the Baron Amborite. If you can really kidnap this young master, the Baron Amborite will be willing to pay a ransom of 200 thousand crowns for him."
After hearing Hogan's words, Feng Chou looked at him. The fear on his face gradually disappeared. He stared deeply at Hogan and asked, "Are you serious?"
Hogan clenched his teeth and said in a low voice, "That's 200 thousand crowns!
We'll each get half, that's 100 thousand crowns. It's enough for us to leave Antalya and go to the big city, to Tyron, and live the lives of nobles. "
After hearing Hogan's words, Feng Chou couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Whether it was the information in the wizard academy's library or his experience on Earth, they all told him that even though 100 thousand crowns was a huge sum in a small city like Antalya, it definitely wouldn't be enough for someone to live the lives of nobles in Tyron, the most famous city in the Northern Continent.
However, Feng Chou obviously wouldn't say that out loud. He cooperated and revealed an expression that alternated between greed and fear. After struggling for a while, he asked, "It's just the two of us. Can we do it?"
Hogan said, "According to my understanding, Young Master Cizé has four fixed knight attendants. They're all young knights under the Baron, but they're the most talented knights. Every time Young Master Cizé goes out, these four people will be his bodyguards."
"If you trust me, you can tell me Qingxiao's location. I will be the one to complete this bounty mission. With that, I will be able to join young master Schroder's hunting squad as a guide."
"When the time comes, I'll be inside, and you'll be outside. I'll be in the light, and you'll be in the dark. With the two of us working together, wouldn't we be able to take down four normal knights?"
After hearing Hogan's words, Feng Chou immediately became alert. He hesitated and asked, "Isn't it the same if I sneak into the hunting party?"
Hogan said, "You're an outsider. If you sneak into the hunting party, they'll be careful of you. Although I'm not valued by the Baron, I'm a civilian knight under the Baron. They won't be as wary of me as they are of outsiders. This way, we'll have a chance to work together. Do you understand?"
Seeing that Feng Chou was still reluctant, Hogan took off a ring on his finger and put it in front of Feng Chou. He said, "If you don't trust me, I can mortgage this magic ring with the level two spell" Brute Force "to you. The price of this ring is definitely more than one kilogram of Crown. You should trust me now, right?"
Feng Chou picked up the ring and looked at it. He nodded reluctantly and said, "This ring seems to have been used a lot. Well, for the sake of our pleasant cooperation, I'll trust you this time."
After saying that, Feng Chou was about to put the ring into his pocket. Unexpectedly, Hogan grabbed his hand.
Feng Chou looked at him in surprise. Hogan said, "How do I know you won't lie to me with a random place? If you want my ring, you have to take me to see the Green Owl, right?"
Feng Chou thought for a moment and returned the ring to him. He said, "Okay, we'll leave tomorrow morning."
