The Night Adorer Chapter 16: Mist incident
Sulman stepped into the door. Behind the door is a venue slightly smaller than the tavern hall. There is also a bar and a wine table.
The difference is that this ‘li tavern’ is no longer noisy. Everyone is dignified and generally dressed in black and gray. Young men and women with neat clothes and top hats sit around the wine table.
Some are talking in low voices, some are playing bridge, but more people focus on the center of the bar, the bounty card with densely packed small pieces of paper, this is the task of the bounty hunter. Bulletin board.
The bulletin board is taken care of by the bounty guild, which receives and dispatches tasks uniformly.
Bounty guilds are second only to the Orthodox Church in the northern cold soil. In terms of scale, it is larger than the ancient local nobles, but the bounty guilds do not participate in secular power struggles. They are only given to each city-state. The bounty hunter provides a trading platform and draws rewards from it.
No matter where you belong, as long as you give the money and give enough, the bounty hunter will do the work for you.
Even during the war, it is not uncommon for different factions to hire bounty hunters to attack each other’s members. They are similar to the arms merchants on earth, the difference is that those merchants sell arms, and bounty hunters sell their abilities.
When Sulman came in, some of the bounty hunters cast a curious look.
This is a strange face.
As bounty hunters in Steel City, most of them have a little impression of each other. Even if they are not close to each other, they are at least familiar. However, the young man in front of them feels strange to them, most likely a newcomer.
Sure enough, the waitress in front of the counter acted next to let them confirm this.
"This gentleman, are you Sulman Athedall who is here for the assessment?"
Obviously, the waitress got the news early and asked directly in the first sentence.
"Yes, I'm here to get the qualification certificate for the bounty hunter." Sulman nodded slightly. In his previous life, he had also joined the bounty hunter. Not only that, his level is also very high, and he is eligible to go to the bounty. The headquarters of the guild.
At the beginning, with that identity, Sulman also participated in the epic war that swept across the entire northern cold soil. He once became the "Night Reaper" on the battlefield, making the people of the opposing camp panic, earning a lot of experience and Meritorious service.
"This is a very wise choice, Mr. Sulman." The waitress was very polite, and explained to him the nature of the bounty hunter's job, which is what Sulman already knew. Finally, she returned Smiling: "As bounty hunters, sometimes, we will receive commissions from ancient nobles or Orthodox sects. Of course, those tasks are very risky."
Bounty hunters are different from joining private chambers of commerce. The former are mercenary in nature, not only do not restrict themselves, but are favored by large and small forces. Sometimes, when the official forces are at a loss, they will seek the help of bounty hunters.
"For new entrants, we will take an assessment..."
The waitress led him to the bulletin board. There were dense task notes hanging on it. However, under each note there were small notes that read: gray iron, silver and original words, she He smiled and said: "Regarding the division of bounty hunters, we use the name of the epoch, just like the third era is now called the Gray Iron Age, so the bounty hunters in the first stage are gray iron hunters."
"The second stage is the Silver Hunter, which corresponds to the second era, also known as the Silver Age."
"The third stage is the original hunter, corresponding to the first era, the earliest era, also known as the original era."
After finishing speaking, the waitress added: "Of course, it is very difficult to promote the title of hunter, and you must have enough contribution. If you reach the original hunter, you are even eligible to go to the headquarters to participate in the assessment of a higher title."
"However, this situation is too far away for you. Not to mention the original hunters, even silver hunters are very rare. There are only three silver hunters in the guild of the city of steel. Two of them are accepting commissions and are not in the city of steel. Within the range of.
The remaining one is Mr. Chairman, who is currently following the ‘patroller’ and cooperating to investigate a major commission. "
After the introduction of the waitress, she finally got to the point. She pointed to the commission on the bulletin board——
"Please select a commissioned event as your assessment."
Sulman looked at the bulletin board and began to choose slowly. At this moment, he recalled in his mind that there was a story about the future of Steel City.
While he was selecting, the curious hunters looked back at the other wine tables and started drinking and chatting again——
"It is said that Mr. Chairman, has cooperated with the patrons and is searching for the descendants of the Stuart family..."
"That original-level mission? On the entire bulletin board, there is only this original-level mission."
"After all, Steel City is not comparable to the top cities with churches. It is said that the city where the church of the Snow Festival is located, and the bounty guild in Snow City, there are only two missions above the original level. There are more than..."
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was interested, but Sulman's heart moved. Sure enough, the target of the patrol was not him, but another descendant of the Stuart family who was hiding in the city of Steel. The other party was extremely valuable. Great, even motivated the club’s club to grow up!
I can catch that guy's location, do you want to report it? A bold idea came up in Sulman's heart, but he thought about it and found it wrong, it was not a blood relationship, except for Sylvie, those people had insulted the original owner.
Sulman reported the other party, and there was no psychological pressure.
is just one thing, he can’t explain the source of the ‘news’, he can’t say one thing: ‘I’m the ghost among them, right? ’This is definitely not appropriate. It is easy to pit yourself into it, just like reporting other people’s failure cases.
It seems that this task has to be considered for a long time... Sulman took back his sight and secretly kept this only original task in his heart. Maybe he will complete the task when he becomes an official bounty hunter. Chance.
And he remembers correctly, if the Grey Iron Hunter completes an original mission, he will be promoted to the Silver Hunter.
Go and complete the assessment first...
Sulman scanned it again, and soon his eyes fixed on a certain commission.
——The fog event.
Commission difficulty: Silver.
Incident content: In the steelmaking area of Gangdian City, at No. 16 Hansen Street, the most northerly, in the golden taro iron smelting yard, people have disappeared for several days. When the incident occurred, it was born with fog, suspected Extraordinary life haunts.
Remuneration: 25 gold pounds.
"That's it!" Sulman's eyes lit up, because he remembered the Iron City of his previous life, and this foggy incident was recorded.
The reason is that the supernatural beings involved in the case are very rare "strange fog monsters". It is not only a supernatural monster~IndoMTL.com~ itself is also extremely precious supernatural material, when players are promoted to the second tier. , It can greatly increase the success rate!
At present, after being promoted to the Night Rider, Sulman has entered the first-order (transcendental realm), but he will definitely seek promotion in the future and prepare for the rainy day, so Sulman must have the weird and strange materials.
"Miss waiter, I decided it was it..." Sulman was about to reach out and peel off the paper. Suddenly, a thin armoured palm was inserted next to him, and he also held the entrusted paper. A corner of it.
"I will take on this task...huh?"
The owner of armor is a young woman. Her features are not pretty, but her features are sharp. Next to her, there are two hunters, one man and one woman, both dressed up. The way to set off.
At this time, Suhlman heard someone exclaiming on the wine table next to him: "Scarcy is back..."
Scarcie, this is one of the two silver hunters who went out.
It was obvious that the two were interested in the same commissioned event.
The waitress was stunned for a few seconds, and then stepped forward and asked Sulman: "Sir, would you like to change a commission? And, this is a silver commission..."
responded to her with Sulman's firm shaking of his head.
...............
half an hour later,
Steelmaking District, 16 Hansen Avenue, in front of the gate of the Golden Taro Ironmaking Plant.
Sulman glanced at the bounty hunters next to him, especially Miss Scarcy, who had a tight face.
could not help but shook his head secretly, he did not expect that the result of the dispute between the two sides...
is,
jointly execute this commission.
