Deep Sea Embers Chapter 85: Remuneration

Deng affirmed his concentration and walked to the two sheriffs at the door.

He is open and honest in his heart - anyway, he has not done any damage, and has not had any conflicts with the authorities. Although Captain Duncan is famous, the moving natural disasters of the boundless sea are like him being an honest antique shop. What does the length have to do with it?

Think carefully about his most suspicious actions being attending a cult party—then he zealously reported it after he came out!

Wait...report?

Duncan suddenly remembered this, and immediately vaguely guessed the reason why the two sheriffs came to the door, and stepped forward suddenly became more confident, but Nina obviously did not have this calm, she saw the uncle coming Lou hurried up to greet him, and at the same time lowered his voice from an angle that the two sheriffs could not see, and said hurriedly: "Uncle, when the two sheriffs ask questions, you must be honest... "

Duncan stumbled suddenly, and looked at his "niece" strangely: "Is this image in your heart?"

Nina looked a little aggrieved at her "uncle" who had a bad reputation and was called to the door for drinking or casino fights every once in a while: "...otherwise, why would the sheriff come to you? "

Duncan: "..."

He sighed helplessly, came to the door of the store, and smiled brightly at the two sheriffs in dark blue uniforms: "Good morning, two gentlemen, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Duncan Strain," said the older of the two sheriffs, politely and in a businesslike tone, "we found this place at the registered address - you told the patrol yesterday The clues reported by the personnel have been confirmed, and on behalf of the City Hall, we thank you for your contribution to maintaining order in the city-state and send the reward money."

When the voice fell, the young sheriff next to him stepped forward and handed over a paper bag that looked a little thick.

Standing aside, Nina's eyes widened.

Duncan had already guessed the purpose of the two sheriffs just now. He guessed that there should be a follow-up to his previous report on the cult's den, but he didn't expect that they would send the reward directly to the door. He was a little surprised. After taking the paper package, I saw a disposable wax seal with the words "435 Sola" on the seal. For the residents of the lower city, this is a very generous bonus.

"So I still have money to take..." Duncan squeezed the paper bag, feeling the thickness of the banknotes, "I didn't think about it at the time."

"Of course there is a bounty - the consul attaches great importance to cracking down on criminal acts in the city-state, especially in recent times, all effective reports will be rewarded practically and generously," the young sheriff laughed "Not to mention the clues you provided... very unusual."

Hearing this, Duncan couldn't help but ask, pretending to be inadvertent, "By the way, I didn't dare to go over there and take a closer look when I heard something wrong over there... What happened over there?"

The two sheriffs looked at each other, and then stepped forward two steps into the store. Nina was stunned when she saw this. After she realized it, she quickly stepped forward and closed the store door.

"We didn't go to the scene, the guards are handling this matter, but according to the news... the scene is very tragic," said the younger sheriff, who had not fully learned the senior In a businesslike tone, "It is correct that you did not approach rashly, but found the patrol officer as soon as possible to report, otherwise you will definitely be in danger."

When the young man's voice fell, another sheriff followed suit: "Ordinary citizens don't need to know the specific situation, we just want to remind you - there are more and more cult activities in the city recently, don't tell outsiders about your report and reward. ."

Duncan was startled for a moment, but quickly reacted.

This is the lower city, the place where the sewage and poison barriers fall and converge. The most shabby things in Prand are hidden in these dilapidated and winding alleys, and when heresy is about to move, they will inevitably hide in this kind of place.

Although the neighborhood where the antique store is located is considered a decent place in the lower city, it is still some distance away from the most dilapidated slums, but from the perspective of hiding dirt, the entire lower city is actually similar .

On the other hand, even without considering that there may be cult members lurking among ordinary people in Xiacheng, a "person who reports to the authorities and collects a bounty" is very likely to be the object of vigilance here.

The sheriffs who are familiar with the local situation certainly know this, they are a reminder of the routine, and they are indeed well-intentioned.

Duncan thought about it for a while and felt that the reminder was right.

This place is indeed prone to cultists - he still has the sun emblem in his pocket.

"Thank you for your reminder," he sincerely thanked. Although he didn't know the average level of most of the sheriffs here, at least the two in front of him gave him a good impression, "Do you want to rest here?"

"No need," the older sheriff waved his hand, turned and walked towards the door of the store, "We still have a patrol mission."

The young sheriff turned around before leaving: "If you still encounter clues in this regard in the future, you are welcome to report it in time - the security of the city-state affects each of us."

"Of course," Duncan squeezed the paper package in his hand, with a sincere smile on his face, "I have always been a good citizen who cares about the order of the city-state."

The two sheriffs left the antique shop of "Mr. Duncan, a Good Citizen", and it was not until the two figures in uniform disappeared from the street that Nina finally looked back at her uncle, Duncan. Uncle was opening the paper bag and counting the blue, blue, green and green bills inside. The sweet sound from the bill flipping made her feel a little bit real: "Uncle... This is really the reward from the city hall? You actually... ...really..."

The girl opened her mouth for a long time, and finally she was too embarrassed to ask the sentence "You can really do good things".

Duncan knew what Nina was thinking and what she was wondering. He laughed: "I reported some wrongdoing when I went home yesterday - Uncle, I have always been enthusiastic about public welfare."

Nina: "..."

"But I was surprised to have such a high bonus," Duncan lowered his head and looked at the banknotes in his hand thoughtfully before muttering, "This is faster than doing business to make money. Ah..."

There is another sentence he didn't say: According to the information obtained before, there are still many cultists from various city-states hiding in the city.

That's all money!

Nina didn't react immediately: "What did you say, uncle?"

"It's nothing," Duncan said casually, waving his hand, thinking about this new way to make money, "isn't it time for you to go to school? Start early and don't be late--by the way, when is Mr. Morris coming to visit? ?"

"In the afternoon, I only have one class in the afternoon," Nina said, as if thinking of something, "Uncle, are you going out today?"

Duncan nodded: "Well, go out, but I'll be home before your history teacher arrives."

When Nina heard this, she immediately cast a suspicious look: "Uncle, what are you going to do?"

Duncan smiled brightly: "Uncle is out hunting."

He already had an idea, since the sun badge is so easy to use, and the authorities are so happy to send money, this approach should not be used in vain - anyway, even if there is no factor of "reporting and receiving money", it is only to ensure the stability of the surrounding environment. ~IndoMTL.com~ He is also looking for trouble with the cultists. Now that he is sure that he can do more trouble after finding them, why not do it?

Nina is a smart girl. Even if she didn't know Duncan's other details, she guessed the meaning of "hunting" in her uncle's words. The girl's delicate eyebrows immediately wrinkled: "...Uncle, you This is not right, you said yesterday that you need to open the store in a steady way, and you also said that you need to rectify the situation in the store and recruit shop assistants..."

"There is no contradiction between caring about the security of the city-state and opening a store with ease," Duncan waved his hand, "Go to school, uncle has his own measure."

However, what he didn't expect was that Nina found a chair next to her and sat down when she heard this.

"Nina?"

"Uncle, this is dangerous." Nina raised her head and looked straight at Duncan.

Duncan: "Um... actually..."

"I want to watch you," Nina sat there stubbornly, "the two sheriffs just said that the city-state is not safe recently... If you accidentally encounter something, how can you take the initiative To find those dangers?"

Duncan stared at the seventeen-year-old girl in a daze.

He suddenly realized that the other party was really caring about himself - in a stubborn way that she thought was correct and safe, caring about in her eyes "severely ill for many years, weak, reckless, and recently desperate to make money Uncle Duncan".

"I don't want a bicycle." Nina muttered with her head lowered.

"Go to school." Duncan sighed suddenly, and with a smile he stepped forward and pressed Nina's head.

Nina raised her head in surprise.

"You're right, it's dangerous," Duncan looked at Nina seriously, "I'm not going anywhere, I'll be waiting for you in the store."
