Chapter 520 Waiting for the rabbit
Afterwards, the group rushed to the Tamil city-state in the eastern part of southern Xinjiang, where a major theft had just occurred and the victim was the local richest man, Duke Sander.
According to the reports of the ranger law enforcement officers, Duke Sander had engaged in a fierce and desperate fight with the blue-haired thief underground. They fought for dozens of rounds and were still evenly matched. In the end, the blue-haired thief used some strange teleportation magic to escape.
In front of the bed, Hilmeria stopped Duke Sander from saluting. The three thousand year old tree elf was extremely weak at the moment, and it was obvious that the loss of the family treasure had dealt him an enormous blow.
Although Duke Sander was old, he was still a vigorous old elf before the incident. All the medical sorcerers who had examined Duke Sander believed that he could live for another few hundred years.
However, Duke Sander now seemed to be hanging on to his last breath. Even the visit of the Pope himself could not make him regain his spirits. Bai Hao even felt that if the blue-haired thief was not caught, Duke Sander would probably pass away in a few months.
“Yes, I was chanting a spell and preparing to cast a super high-level grass elemental magic, but the green-haired thief was faster than me. Ahem. The whole room was instantly shrouded in gray-white light. I couldn’t tell what element of attack magic it was, ahem…”
Duke Sander sat on the hospital bed, recalling the battle with Youla in great seriousness. He described it as a dangerous and life-threatening situation, as if Youla was an extremely strange black magician.
"Fortunately, I have thousands of years of combat experience. Ahem, I used an extreme side roll to dodge the guy's attack. In order to protect the family's honor, I chose to guard the exit of the secret room. The blue-haired thief seemed to be afraid of my strength and finally chose to use a secret method to escape!"
After listening to Duke Sander's story, Bai Hao was stunned again and again. Looking at the old elf in front of him with a serious expression, he couldn't help but began to doubt whether the blue-haired thief he mentioned was Yula.
After all, Bai Hao and Hilmeliya beside him knew that Yula was a worthless fighter. She couldn't even beat a soldier guarding the city. She usually relied on her incredible luck in battles and won by relying on her strength.
But it is indeed true that Youla is very strong, because luck is also part of strength.
Bai Hao has already visited the underground secret room of the Sander family. Through the divine vision, he can easily see that the remaining treasures are all extraordinary objects containing the power of destiny. At the same time, at the scene, Bai Hao also found traces of the remaining power of destiny.
There is no doubt that the blue-haired thief mentioned by Duke Sander is Yura. The amplified Wheel of Destiny directly teleported her to the underground secret room of the Sander family, next to more than twenty extraordinary objects containing the power of destiny.
I guess Youla is laughing so hard that her mouth is crooked. With so many extraordinary things, Bai Hao can't imagine how much power of destiny Youla can absorb. I guess she hasn't absorbed it all yet.
Thinking of this, Bai Hao immediately vowed: "Duke Sander, if you trust me, please leave this case to me. I can even guarantee that I will help you catch the 'evil blue-haired thief' before the clock strikes midnight today!"
Duke Sander looked at Bai Hao who was confident in his plan without saying anything. Instead, he glanced at Hilleliya behind him without leaving a trace. After a while, he half-saluted and said, "Since it is someone brought by the Pope, I naturally trust him. It's just that it's past noon now, and time seems a bit tight..."
"Haha, please rest assured, Duke. I always keep my word," Bai Hao answered confidently, and then murmured in a low voice, "There are almost twenty extraordinary items. She should have absorbed them all..."
Duke Sander did not hear Bai Hao's whisper clearly. He noticed that Hillelia had a smile on her face and seemed to trust Bai Hao very much. So the last trace of doubt in his heart completely disappeared, and he looked at Bai Hao as if he was looking at an unparalleled detective.
"Viscount Campbell, please feel free to ask for any help you need. I, Duke Sander, have some influence in Tamil City-State. If you need to conduct a carpet search, I can immediately notify all the rangers and law enforcement officers to cooperate with you!"
Bai Hao shook his head slightly after hearing this, and said intriguingly: "There is no need to search, the blue-haired thief will come to me on his own, but I do need you to do me a favor..."
Soon, Bai Hao arrived at the entrance to the underground secret room of Sander Manor. Timis, who was standing beside him, smeared his blood on the magic pattern on the wall. With a magical rotation, the secret room slowly opened.
Looking at the empty secret room and thinking of his father's painful look, Timis couldn't help but sigh, looked at Bai Hao and said respectfully: "Father told me that you can ask for anything you want. I'll be waiting outside!"
After saying that, Timis left with heavy steps. He was not optimistic about Bai Hao's strategy of sitting back and waiting. Timis thought that they should conduct a carpet search of the whole city as soon as possible before the blue-haired thief ran away.
But Duke Sander asked Timis to listen to the silver-haired boy, no matter how absurd his methods of handling cases were. This was not a trust in Bai Hao, but a trust in the Pope behind him.
The ranger captain at the side also thought so. He had already assembled hundreds of rangers with rich experience in handling cases, ready to catch the rampant blue-haired thief, but Bai Hao showed up in the middle of the process, so he was forced to stop all search work.
"My Lord Earl, are we really going to do nothing? The blue-haired thief is very likely on the run!" the ranger captain said anxiously.
Timis shook his head upon hearing this, and said softly while looking at Bai Hao's back, "The Pope has great trust in that silver-haired boy, just like my father trusts the Pope. Don't do anything unnecessary, just wait and see!"
Arriving at the secret room, Bai Hao sat calmly on a sofa, leisurely opened an adventurer's magazine and flipped through it casually. He believed that it would not be long before Youla would teleport over again.
There are two reasons.
Firstly, there are still several extraordinary objects containing the power of destiny in this secret room that have not been taken away. Youla will never give up these treasures, and she will definitely come back to "clean them up".
Secondly, Youla is not a real thief. On the contrary, she is law-abiding and polite. Therefore, Youla will definitely return the nearly twenty treasures she took away. Bai Hao knows Youla's character well.
Sure enough, after Bai Hao had been reading the magazine for less than an hour, a gray-white light suddenly lit up in the secret room, and a sneaky blue-haired girl appeared there with a bunch of messy objects.
Bai Hao chuckled and shook his head, then closed the book, found the right angle and patted Youla's plump buttocks with his hand.
"Snapped!"
"Wow!"
Youla turned around with her hands covering her butt and a flushed face. When she saw it was Bai Hao, she was stunned for a moment, and then hugged him excitedly. She didn't seem to be too surprised, and even somewhat expected it.
Because Youla knew that this silver-haired boy would definitely find her, no matter where he was!
