Carlos was noncommittal about Char's hasty decision to take the malt away from Salt Well Town, after all, if it were him, he wouldn't ignore it.

But is it the right choice to take a weak girl to the wilderness?

There was a commotion at the door not far away, Carlos woke up from his thoughts, and everyone walked quickly towards the door of the bar.

Soon, Carlos came to the door.

Char and Malt were found hiding in the middle of a seven-man team of bounty hunters, surrounded by five tall, strong figures in the middle of the group.

Malt was wearing a different blue-green dress today, and the shallow brown spots on her face were covered by a layer of foundation, which made the original thin girl next door have much more delicate and beautiful facial features, and with her petite physique, she looks extraordinarily beautiful.

The hunter team was led by a half-hundred-year-old man, whose face seemed unaffected by the years, his hair as dark as the shadows before dawn, and a long black cloak full of patches, which looked as if he had been baptized by countless years.

And what stopped the hunter team in their way were two people who seemed to have a master-servant relationship.

A tall man, with blonde hair, a face with a few scars and ravines, no fear, and eyes that were sparkling.

A man dressed as an aristocratic man with long white hair, flowing hair, and broad shoulders, with a handsome and emaciated face, and a pair of blue eyes hidden under his thick eyebrows, shooting a chilling and gloomy gaze like a falcon.

"Unlucky!" Daddy Rhodes suddenly shouted the leader of the hunter squad, the old man who brought Char into the team.

He had been standing still for half an hour, his eyes fixed on the two men in front of him, and only occasionally quietly squirming his Adam's apple with very gentle movements.

Daddy Rhodes felt an aura of extreme danger in the blond man across from him, stronger than any beast he had ever encountered in the wilderness.

In contrast, the two who stood in the way were much calmer.

The blonde man with a scarface said, "Since you've met, why don't you go in and have a drink?"

Daddy Rhodes turned his head to look at his hunter team, then at the blonde man talking opposite, hesitated and then deflated:

"I just don't need to! In the first half of the year, our team didn't capture anything, and we really couldn't pay the headhunting fee, since we met, I hope that Young Master Laurent can send a message to the guild and give some grace. ”

The aristocratic man, whom the leader of the hunter squad called Laurent, tapped his arm with his index finger and laughed.

"It's okay, Daddy Rhodes is an old man of our Astrolabe Hunters Guild, and a little headhunting fee can naturally be forgiven by one or two. ”

Father Rhodes flattered and said: "Rhodes is grateful to Master Laurent for his kindness, please forgive me, I will take the team to the Rodney Mountains to try my luck, and in a few days I may be able to go to Cyprus to give you a good animal skin." ”

"Don't worry... Your people just snatched the wine girl that Young Master Ben fancied, and handed over the kid and the little girl first. ”

Father Rhodes laughed when he heard this: "Lord Jinke, it's all a misunderstanding, where is there any wine girl, these brothers and sisters are newcomers to my hunter team, aren't they just about to set off." ”

"Nonsense! Have you ever seen a huntress in a Luo skirt? Believe it or not, Young Master Ben eliminated you from the Astrolabe Hunters Guild?"

Daddy Rhodes was speechless for a moment, and the two sides fell into a brief silence.

Rhodes, the leader of the hunter team, stood in place in embarrassment, not daring to offend the two bigwigs of his guild who suddenly arrived in front of him, but also not wanting to hand over Char, whom he admired and valued.

Pierre, the trapper in his ranks, a man in his thirties with a black beard, whispered in Daddy Rhodes' ear:

"It's better to let Char and the little girl stay in the town first, and then come and pick them up later when they have a chance. ”

Papa Rhodes turned to Pierre and said, "I promised to take Char to join the Hunters' team, and besides, he offended the little girl's mother and Monsieur Laurent for it, and leaving him alone would only cost him his life." ”

Brother Hu Zi could only whisper helplessly: "Then just hand over that little girl..."

Father Luo Lang glared at him sternly, resolutely rejecting the proposal.

"No way!"

At this time, the blonde-haired man with scars on the opposite side seemed to have lost patience, and he crossed his arms and said loudly: "Rod, hand over the person now, otherwise you will know the consequences." ”

Carlos looked at the master and servant coldly, but he was not in a hurry to mingle and maintained an indifferent attitude.

He turned his head to look at Grant beside him, and said suspiciously, "Uncle, do bounty hunters also need to register a guild?"

"Young Master, you don't know, this Bounty Hunter Guild is different from the official guilds of black magicians and alchemists, they are not recognized by the empire at all, so they are just some private guilds. ”

Carlos sighed and said, "Then why would these people be willing to join such an organization that requires headhunting fees in the first place?"

Uncle Grant's eyes narrowed, and he said helplessly: "Because these bounty hunter guilds often have enough resources and equipment, and they have the movement of the beast tide in one hand, and hunters without guilds can only look for prey aimlessly in the wilderness. ”

Carlos nodded, wandering aimlessly in the wilderness to find the alien beast, but it was extremely hard, even for a brilliant swordsman like the eldest brother De Ligt, it was a test of life and death.

In contrast, hunting in groups with a purpose is much easier.

"So the Rodney Mountains beast tide can cause so many bounty hunters to come, and these hunter guilds are behind it!

Grant shook his head slowly with a cold face and said, "This is the specific amount... Guilds vary, but there is a consensus that once a private guild joins a private guild, a bounty hunter needs to pay an annual headhunting fee until they die. ”

What the?

Carlos was taken aback when he heard this, "Why...?"

Grant sighed and said, "In order to live, the private guild gives those poor people who want to become bounty hunters, provides weapons and equipment, and gives these people a chance to live, so it is natural to obtain greater benefits from them." ”

Sidis and Koman, who were listening to Carlos's master and servant, all showed exaggerated expressions of astonishment, shock, and disbelief when they heard the words.

It's the equivalent of signing a contract of sale.

While the three peers are more aware of the cruelty of this world, they also feel a little worried about the fate of Char and Malt in the future.

Carlos watched as Charles and Malt leaned together, like innocent prisoners waiting to be judged, full of helplessness and hesitation.

With a cold aura that he had never seen before, he looked up at the two masters and servants of the Hunters' Guild from Cyprus City, and he muttered:

"Uncle Grant, have the Night Watch escort Reyna out and take her to the manor. ”

Regardless of Charl's thoughts, as Malt's friend, Carlos felt the need to stop the tragedy that Charl's impulse might cause.

Grant looked at Carlos in surprise, and suddenly felt a strong aura faintly emanating from his body, a fishy smell that belonged to wizards or symbolized the power of the underground system.

The groom inhaled vigorously through his nose, as if smelling roses, and suddenly thought of something that was both surprised and frightened, and said:

"God, little master, when did you awaken that terrible inheritance!"

Later, he whispered in a whisper that only Carlos could hear:

"The old servant will do it, please do not use that power in front of anyone lightly, until you are sheltered by the winter moon. ”

Carlos was surprised that Grant actually knew Xia Zhiyue's secret, but he didn't think about it, just nodded with a calm face.

Soon, Grantra whispered to the Night Watchman beside him.
