In the passenger compartment of the magic steam train heading to the royal capital.

Wearing a gentleman's formal suit, Hal Maxwell, with messy half-length brown hair combed into a big back, sat on the seat with his feet wide open, his upper body leaned against the back of the chair, and he looked up halfway in a daze. upwards.

On the luggage rack diagonally above, there were three suitcases, one of which was Hal's luggage.

Duanduan squatted in the wasteland in front of the prison head and prisoner supervisor, and suddenly he was called back like a reminder, and suddenly he was packed into a train like a dog, and asked to go to the capital to perform tasks... That's all!

Anyway, Hal is a bit tired of squatting in the wasteland, and it’s okay to come out to get some air-this task may be blind for others, but it’s really not difficult for Hal; After the event, Hal did have a channel to contact the people of the Rhine royal family.

Hal has absolutely no reason to refuse this mission to be able to go to the royal capital with the public funds given by the city hall, and to be fair and upright to the black lord Yang!

It wasn't until the train started that Hal remembered something belatedly.

How did Yang know that he knew someone from the Rhine royal family?After being tricked by Yang to Tarantan, he never mentioned it to anyone.

Trying to think back to the last time he mentioned this to others, Hal's face gradually turned ugly...

That's right, when he was trying to find another black magician "Lich" Enwei to help solve the plight of the thieves group, Yang just happened to come to the door.

He had just drawn out his biggest hole card, the relationship with a member of the Rhine royal family who was in the line of succession, and Enwei disappeared without a word.

At that time, Hal thought that Envi was not interested in this bargaining chip, and he never thought about it again.

Now that I think about it—"Lich" Enwei was scared away by Yang! !

Afterwards, when Yang arrived in Inadli, the "Lich" Enwei, who had been squatting in the Sorensen Mountains for several years, just packed up his things and left without saying a word!

If Enwei hadn't been scared away, the thieves group who hadn't reached the point of nowhere would not have to be tricked into Tarantan.

No need to be harassed by the undead, no need to owe Yang debts, no need to be forced to do things...

But at the same time, many opportunities will be lost... For example, he, Tuttle, and Pan Xi, who have been on the wanted warrant, if they hadn't become Yang's people, they would have no chance to openly appear in the town with their own identities , not to mention being a warden or a puppet lord.

The more he thought about it, the more he struggled, and Hal gradually fell into a state of salted fish.

Hal, who was slumped in his seat in a rather unrefined posture, sat across the board table from a middle-class couple.

When the couple found that the passenger sitting next to him was a vicious man who was decently dressed but looked like a villain, they couldn't help but smile...

There is no way, Hal, the big villain, has such an aggressive taste, even if he wears a formal suit that will not be rude to attend a reception, he wears a bow tie neatly, and there is a case for a monocle in his breast pocket. The corner of the pure white silk scarf was exposed behind the glasses case, more like a robber than a gentleman.

When the train arrived at the station, the middle-class couple who were seated with Hal couldn't wait to get off the train. They sat opposite each other for several hours, and the couple didn't even ask Hal's name...

Hal didn't care what the passengers on the same car thought of him. After leaving the station, he skillfully summoned a carriage and entered the capital.

The rules of the capital are much stricter than those of other cities. People walking on the road may be stopped by the city police at any time for interrogation, asking about their identity and where they live-the last point is very important. People who live in the right place will probably be taken back to the city superintendent, and they won't come out unless they take off a layer of skin.

The first thing a foreigner does when entering the capital is to find a hotel or hotel to stay.

The logic of action is the same as that of Yang Qiu when he entered the capital. Hal, an old Jianghu, also found a block with the largest population flow in the outer city to live in. He did not stay in a hotel, because he would stay for a long time. , the latter is even more secretive.

Next, I rented a carriage from the apartment owner and hired a coachman... There is no need to hire servants, and Hal doesn't need to go to occasions where servants are needed to save face anyway.

Next, find the underground branch of the Bounty Hunter Association hidden in the outer city, and register as a bounty hunter with the national certificate issued by the Innadri City Hall.

In this way, they can obtain a work certificate and avoid the trouble of being treated as a vagrant; they can also obtain some additional convenience through the Bounty Hunter Association-the Bounty Hunter Association has a very wide customer base, and there are many dignitaries.

Hal, a long-time fugitive, is not to mention very skilled in the routine of hiding his identity and gaining a certain amount of room for movement in a big city.

After settling the issue of identity, Hal went back to the apartment and took a nap. When it was getting dark, he got up energetically, shaved off his stubble, and used the hairspray prepared by the city hall to tidy up his hair, and finally put on the city hall Prepared, more elegant set of formal suits, a brand new gentle... no, formal suit thugs, just made their debut.

Before going out, Hal thought of something, went back to the bathroom, and sprayed on the perfume prepared by the city hall...

"Cough, cough! Grass, it stinks!"

Hal waved his hands in disgust, and walked out the door fragrantly.

As a former big thief, it is absolutely impossible to like things like perfume. How can you sneak and hide wherever you go?

But because of this, the security forces in most places will not be vigilant against people with strong scents—one is that the poor cannot afford perfume, and the other is that such people smell of perfume everywhere they go, and they are sure to do bad things. exposed.

The driver who had just been hired during the day was waiting downstairs of the apartment as scheduled, pulled Hal and went straight to the brightly lit neighborhood at night.

The sensual venue in the royal capital is not comparable to a rural place like Inadoli.Bars, striptease shows, dance halls and other places are not classy, ​​and clubs are barely on the stage. Private clubs with membership access system are the mainstream of nightlife for the upper class.

Hal can't get into the private club, but it doesn't matter, the royal family member he is familiar with actually doesn't like that kind of place that either doesn't have fun, or has too much fun, and really tries to sneak into the club, but can't find it human.

However, Hal's luck this time seems to be not very good. He wandered around the most popular clubs and dance halls in the city in one night, but he couldn't find anyone.

Before dawn, Hal returned to the apartment.

After staying day and night for several days in a row, Hal finally found his target in a club...

The fourth prince of the Rhine royal family, Andre Henrik Rhine!

The line of succession is No. 6. There are three princes, a prince and a grand duke in front of him. It can be said that unless there is a great plague in the capital and the princes and princes suffer heavy casualties, it is possible to succeed to the throne.

But Hal boasted that the members of the royal family he knew were high in the line of succession, and it wasn't bragging, because there were more than a dozen people behind the fourth Prince Andre...

It's not that there are so many princes, but based on the succession order of the kingdom in Nabaron, the current king's son, brother, and brother's son and grandson can all be placed in the line of succession.

Of course, the king's brother is lower in line of succession than the king's son.

Hal, who found the target, did not rush forward to say hello, but carefully observed it first.

The fourth prince, Andre, would definitely not come to the club alone. Outside the booth where he was sitting, there were two stalwart men standing in the aisle, laughing at the waitresses in the club, while looking at the booths in the lobby. the guests.

The two men were bodyguards, and Hal remembered the name of one of them.

Several waitresses accompanied Andre in the deck where Andre was, and there were three others who came with Andre.

The two young men were greasy-faced. Hal, who was seated at a booth nearby, glanced out of the corner of his eye and judged that these two young men were no stronger than peasant women doing farm work.

The third person, Hal was a little confused.

This person was wearing a half-face mask used at a ball, only showing half of his chin, and was wearing an extremely loose, loose robe that looked like a nightgown, and his long pale golden hair was loose; because he was in a sitting position, he was lazy Because he was leaning on the sofa, he couldn't distinguish between men and women for a while.

"Who is this?"

Hal has a question mark on his forehead.

After observing for a while, I found that this person wearing a half-mask was not very close to Andre and the other two, and he seldom spoke. Character.

"Forget it, it doesn't look like a threatening person." Hal pondered for a while, unwilling to give up the opportunity, put down his glass, got up and straightened his collar, and left the booth, as if preparing to go to the toilet.

When passing by those two guards, Hal seemed to suddenly think of something, turned his head to look at one of them, and said in astonishment: "Hey, you are..."

The guard who was flirting with the waitress looked away at Hal, looked him up and down for a while, said "ah", and remembered him: "Mr. Harvey?"

"Ah, it really is you!" Hal clapped his hands pretending to be happy, "Grantham, I remember correctly, right?"

"There is no mistake, Mr. Harvey, your memory is very good." The guard smiled politely.

When Hal had a relationship with the fourth prince Andre, of course it was impossible to use his real name.

In addition, this guy has a wealth of experience in not doing business, and he knows how to spend money on the prince's guard... After a few years, the guards still have memories of him.

Chatted happily with the guard, and excitedly led by the guard into the booth to visit the prince.

Seeing Hal, the fourth prince not only immediately remembered him, but also acted very happy, pulled him to sit down intimately, and introduced to his friends...

Hal, who has a standard villain face and can let passers-by automatically give way when he walks on the street, if he is willing to show a polite and polite attitude and warmly make friends with others, in fact, he will have a very wide path-by a person with a rather intimidating body shape, People with professional-level strength, but no matter how they look like super villains and big villains, "put down their figure" to please people, it will give people an inexplicable sense of refreshment and satisfaction.

The mother of the fourth prince Andre is the stepmother of the old king. She is still a princess and has not been crowned queen. This is why Andre's succession is low; probably because she knew that she would not become the crown prince since childhood. Moreover, he was not valued by the royal family very much since he was a child. Andre did not have the kind of pride in the bones of his three brothers, but felt a little inferior.

Andre, who was often neglected and lacked self-confidence in his heart, was enthusiastically befriended by a villain like Hal when he was relaxing and having fun in "hidden identity". It was really hard to refuse...
