Grant stood in front of the gun-wielding man who fell to the ground, staring at him coldly.

All the people nearby took two steps back in a cold sweat.

Status and power are symbols of power, even in this part of the country. These outlaws are not afraid of any horse thief they encounter in the wilderness, and most of all a nobleman with status.

Even if it is a servant of a noble family, it is also better not to provoke. What's more, it was this old servant who knocked down the fierce murderer with one punch, showing his strength.

Carlos was surrounded by two night watchmen and came to Grant.

"What happened?"

Grant stepped on the man's ankle with one foot, not giving him a chance to run away or hurt someone.

"This man was drunk and committed murder in the streets. ”

"I'm not drunk, ah——!"

The thin man who was trampled on his ankle blushed in pain, and wanted to argue loudly, but was trampled by the heavier force on Grant's foot, and he was busy screaming and begging for mercy.

Carlos narrowed his clear Danfeng eyes, he looked at the drunk on the ground who had already woken up for most of the time with disdain, and then looked at the corpse of the middle-aged man who was bleeding all over the ground.

"Why kill people?"

"I'm drunk, I can't remember, ahh

Grant's cloudy eyes showed a terrifying gaze, staring at the thin man on the ground and saying, "You dare to talk nonsense again." ”

The man shrunk his neck and took a shuddering breath, it seemed that Grant's step on his ankle did make him feel very painful.

"Ahh ”

The thin man chooses to confess and argue loudly.

Carlos was stunned and wondered: "The alienated beasts are a trap set by someone, who can have such great ability to drive these alienated beasts out of the depths of the mountain range?"

The skinny chick nodded like a peck of rice,

"Yes, this young master is right, I also questioned him at the time, but he couldn't say why, the big guys thought he was a madman and grandstanded. ”

"And then you're going to chase him out and murder him while he's drunk?"

Carlos continued to ask.

"Ouch, this noble young master is wronged, how can this be, quarrels between hunters are commonplace, unless it is to snatch prey in the wilderness, they generally will not fight. ”

Grant glared at him fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense, pick and choose." ”

"Ahh ”

Carlos' face sank and he gave Grant a look.

Grant understood, bent down and reached out to pull down the clothes removed from the deceased's neck, revealing a black inverted 7 mark.

A wizard's mark indeed.

Carlos had seen this sigil in the Holy See Ruling Chapter VII, Sins of the Sorcerer.

People who possess the mark of a wizard are often wizards with the power of basic sorcery. After mastering witchcraft such as bewitchment and soul invasion, they always put a mark on the top of their shoulders and the junction of their necks to express their respect and desire for the power of witchcraft.

When the onlookers saw that the deceased was actually a wizard, they couldn't help but talk to each other.

Carlos frowned and asked suspiciously, "Since you know that this person is a wizard, you still dare to make a move on him?"

"Little master, don't you know? There can be any good people among wizards, and there are even rewards for magistrates in many places for killing wizards..."

"So, are you afraid that he will trouble you afterwards, so you will take the opportunity to kill you?"

The thin man's face froze, and he smiled and stopped distinguishing.

Carlos didn't say anything more, turned and sat back in the carriage.

Since there was a reason that could be explained, he didn't bother to ask more. Of course, things will not be as simple as the thin man said, he must have hidden something, but these are not his concerns.

Now that he knew that the wizards had set his sights on him, there was nothing strange about the few wizards in the town.

Grant moved the corpse aside, tied the thin man to a horse stake by the roadside, and arranged for someone to guard it.

A group of onlookers saw that there was nothing good to see, so they dispersed. As for the fact that a noble young master has seized a trivial bounty hunter and is going to send him to prison or throw him into a mine to work as a coolie to atone for his sins, it is simply a matter as big as a sesame mung bean.

Grant got back into the carriage and drove on his way to the obvious awe of the crowd around him.

I don't know when and when I pulled a button from the thin man's body, and after leaving the place of the incident, he handed it to Carlos.

"Young master, that thin man is not as simple as a bounty hunter. ”

Carlos took the brass button, which was tattooed with a pattern that resembled a lion's head, but it was so corroded by dirt that it was too hard to see.

Carlos squinted, closed his eyes to recuperate, and then pouted: "What's the matter with me, I won't listen to anything outside the window in the future, and I will only read alchemy books." ”

Grant's mouth opened wide, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment, and drove the carriage away.

After a few moments, the carriage drove out of the crowded street and turned into a quiet lane.

Carlos opened his eyes slightly.

The slender fingers rubbed the copper button, threw it back to Grant in front of the carriage and said, "Okay, uncle, you should keep an eye on it for Young Master Ben." Whether it's a wizard or the other nobles in the city, if they want to reach their tentacles into Salt Well Town at will, they chop off their claws and let them know that it hurts. ”

Grant smiled.

"What the little young master said is that this territory will also be your territory in the future, so naturally you can't allow those Xiaoxiao factions to interfere. ”

Carlos shook his head, not thinking about the future, but for now.

The wizards who wrote letters threatening their fathers would surely send people to harass them, and for whatever purpose, Carlos would have to arrange for some kind of help.

I don't know what benefits my father gave Du Buyi, but at this juncture, he let himself come to the alchemy house to take refuge.

Alchemy, it must be very interesting!

The grove where the Alchemy Hut is located is not large, but the road is very winding.

Obviously, it can lead to the entrance of a straight dirt road, but Du Buyi has to build it like eighteen bends in the mountain road.

However, in this way, there is some beauty of winding paths.

The carriage quickly stopped at the door of the alchemy room.

Carlos got out of the carriage and remembered the first time he came to the door of the alchemy hut and was not chased by a flock of pitch-black crows, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Grant knocked on the door, and Du Buyi, who was full of gray hair and stubbled beard, walked out, looked Carlos up and down carefully, and said expressionlessly, "Have you brought a gift?"

Carlos gave a whistle, and in a few moments a box of ale was brought out of the carriage by one of the night watchmen who followed the car.

"The best ale, but I secretly took it from the cellar, and I honored the teacher. “

Du Buyi's wrinkled old-fashioned face immediately grinned, pointed to a large box of ale in a special glass bottle, and said, "This is a bottle of three or four silver coins, what kind of malt beer?"

"Hehe, it's up to eight silver coins a bottle in the town now, and it's still priceless. ”

Grant, who was silent and pretending to be honest on the side, had the corners of his mouth crooked.

The malt beer is brewed by the young master himself, and the cost is only some crushed malt and starter culture, and the cost of a box is estimated to be less than a silver coin.

When I brush my horse, I drink it as water.

Du Buyi smashed his dry lips, and his old face was slightly hesitant.

"Well, uh, beer isn't very easy to buy, what's the matter?

Carlos narrowed Danfeng's eyes, smiled, and didn't explain.

"Yes, not a lot. ”

Carlos was happy in his heart, he didn't expect that this old alchemist was still an alcoholic, and it would be much easier to be filial in the future.

When I was a child, I had nothing to think about, but it sold very well in the town, and it was used to give it to the teacher I met for the first time, and it was neither rude nor rude.

Carlos thinks it's a good use.
