"Hell, you've been following me here?" the big tall Soley reacted first, he probably understood what was going on.

"Who is he?"

Conrad, who had no experience dealing with Black Hats, whispered to Murray, who was still lying on the railing of the bridge.

"Don't come near me, or we'll make you regret it. Murray covered his belly and groaned, ignoring Conrad's question, looking at the dark shadow opposite vigilantly and said, "The laundry must be frightening expensive." ”

Anderson, the black cap, kept a distance of several meters from the three and did not move.

A large black cat slipped off his shoulder, jumped lightly onto the railing of the bridge, its green cat's eyes glinting, and followed the railing towards the three men, and then sniffed at Murray's cuff closest to the railing.

'Meow' and slowly retreated.

Then he stood on top of the wooden bear at the beginning of the bridge, looking down on the three bounty hunters.

"Look, what are we up to, dumb?" said Conrad, unamily. However, out of hunter's instinct, he finally sensed that something was wrong, and whispered to Soley, who had reached out to take out another misty scroll from his arms, "I mean, what does this person want?"

Soli said, "Black hat Anderson, haven't you heard of it?"

Conrad finally realized the seriousness of the problem when he heard this, and the person in front of him was really likely to be Anderson, the executioner who liked to kill bounty hunters for promotion.

Only he dared to put his mind on a group of outlaws.

Immediately, his fat face began to tense, and fine sweat soon covered his forehead.

Solley gritted his teeth and suggested, "We can do a surprise attack, we have one last Mist Scroll left." ”

"We don't have weapons. Murray shook his head.

"What can I do? Solley looked coldly at the figure of Anderson in the black hat and said, "If we can't beat us, we can run, and we will be safe when we cross the bridge." ”

Behind him is the territory of the Stevenson family, there must be guards or night watchmen there, they help the young master Carlos of the Stevenson family, and they have no reason not to save them.

Murray's face turned a little pale and said, "That damn thing, if I inhale it again, I'm going to hang up." ”

The three of them hadn't yet discussed it, but the black hat on the other side was already ready to act.

Murray lowered his head and saw through the fading morning fog that he could clearly see the triangular bayonets of Bai Sensen shining in the sleeves of the figures on both sides of the opposite side.

He had to slide one of them into his hand first, then the other.

Then he saw the man's sleeves fluttering.

Murray's pupils suddenly contracted rapidly, he probably knew what his opponent wanted to do, instinctively stuffed the gray stone on his body that was ready to be exchanged for gold coins into the arms of Conrad, who was leaning on him, and pushed him away and shouted: "Run!"

In this case, the legs and feet are very important.

The moment Murray turned to look at the sun, he had just pulled out of the dawn clouds.

In an instant, the dwarf stopped his sluggish steps, and a look of despair appeared on his weather-covered and dry face.

Don't rush to give a review of your stupid bounty hunter career.

A triangular stabbed steel knife had sunk into his vest.

...

In April, spring comes very late.

In the morning, when the sun has just come out, the windowsill is covered with cone-shaped ice edges.

Carlos rolled over from the bed, usually he slept until the sun basked his buttocks, and he would wake up only when he felt the gentle sunlight caress his buttocks.

"Peng, Peng!"

Awakened by two rhythmic knocks on the door, he had to put on his clothes and open the door.

Carlos was led downstairs by the servants to the large living room, where Maury Stevenson was sitting by the fire and De Ligt was standing behind him, and when he saw Carlos coming over with sleepy eyes, he smiled faintly at him and gave him a meaningful look.

Once Carlos was seated, his father got straight to the point.

"I lost something in the alchemy room last night. ”

Carlos feigned surprise, "Oh, yes? ”

De Ligt looked at Carlos's calm expression with interest, as if he wanted to see a clue in his younger brother's immature face.

He had a hunch that it had something to do with it.

"Alchemy stone. ”

Carlos quietly glared at his brother De Ligt, coughed lightly, and said, "Father, what is this alchemy stone?"

Maury raised his eyelids and looked at Carlos for a long time, until Carlos began to feel a little hairy in his heart, and then said: "That's an alchemist's treasure, but to other people, it's rubbish, it's not worth much and it's not easy to sell,

The old man Du Buyi attaches great importance to it, and came to our house early this morning and asked us to help find it. ”

Carlos looked around, "Is Mr. Du Buyi here, where is he?"

This strange man, who had lived in the alchemy hut forever, so that he had never seen him before, actually came over this morning, and Carlos's eyes flashed with surprise.

Mo Li said lightly: "He was eroded by the mist scroll, but fortunately, there are ready-made materials in the alchemy room, and he easily prepared the antidote, but he has already gone back." ”

Carlos had some regrets.

And he asked,

"Oh, so the thing has been found, isn't it? ”

Maury was silent for a moment, "It's not over yet. ”

"Something. ”

Mori's gaze was fixed on Carlos and said, "Someone pretended to be a black hat and killed someone on the wooden bear bridge. ”

Carlos's face was not red and his heart was not beating, "Could it be that the one who died was the thief who stole the alchemy stone, why did it say that it was a pretend, maybe it was the black hat who did it? ”

"It's true that there are black hats who are too honest in their hearts and eyes to do this kind of thing. ”

Carlos nodded in agreement.

Maury sneered, and said, "But they don't have the guts, and they don't have the patience to do it right under the nose of the night watchman, and besides, De Ligt just picked up something from the scene of the crime on the bridge..."

Carlos felt that his father always gave him the feeling that he was calculating when he talked about things, and with his silver and white hair, he was like an old fox.

At this time, Carlos had a feeling of being calculated.

De Ligt took something out of his arms and threw it on the table.

The one made of rubber horse brush.

Or an old horse brush, what does that mean?

Carlos looked at the horse brush, a little stunned, but after looking at it for a while, he realized that something was wrong, because he seemed to think that this thing was so familiar.

crime scene,

Horse brushes.

In an instant, Carlos understood, and his face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"If you can't even do this little detail, don't mess around outside, Du Buyi went to the bedroom to see you this morning, if it's just basic alchemy, he is willing to help find the alchemy stone this time." ”

As soon as these words came out, Carlos quickly left.

On the surface, after being exposed by the elders, he left in shame.

In his heart, things were not as perfect as he expected, but the result finally met expectations.

It was a successful plan.

Before this, Carlos had used many methods, and he couldn't get close to the strange alchemy hut, and each time he was either driven out of the grove by countless crows, or forced to flee by the inexplicable lightning balls.

Even if he walked around the woods, there were two damn white dogs, who had already stretched their necks and barked at him under the window!

Before, there were no outsiders in the town, and he had other ideas that could not be implemented.

This time it can be regarded as the right time and place.

But there is a little regret, that is, I was caught by my father, and I feel ashamed to think that I was trying to show that I didn't know it just now.

Carlos looked up at the already rising sun, and there was already an angry expression on his face.

He hurried to the backyard, and threw off the rubber horse brush to Uncle Grant, who was scratching his ears and cheeks and wondering what was going on, and said angrily: "If you go to kill people, do you have to take the horse brush with you?"

Grant looked at the big horse brush on the ground, and was pleasantly surprised.

"I found it. ”

"With the exception of the bounty hunters, who had to die if they inhaled too much mist, the bounty of the other two doubled for them. Carlos shouted at Grant and turned to leave, and after walking three or five steps, he turned back and said, "Don't bring a horse next time!"
