Chapter 46: After the War
As far as Carlos knew, the residents of Salt Well eventually went from house to house on this day to make a windfall, and as long as the bounty hunter's head and seizure were handed over, Baron Maury generously gave every bounty, not a single silver coin was deducted.
This made Carlos suddenly feel that his family had suddenly become a bounty boss, and this quiet and isolated salt well town without even a name became a den of bandits, and the simple inhabitants were changed from miners to butchers overnight.
Carlos was hit on the back of the head.
His Baron Morry looked high-spirited, and warned his youngest son not to call the town of Yanjing a den of bandits, he was not a bandit leader, he was a descendant of a pioneer, a veritable hereditary lord of the Yuguang Empire.
Old Grandpa Flint and his granddaughter, High Priest Geoffrey, are gone.
A large carriage with a steam engine hanging from the back compartment that Carlos had never seen before, carried them away.
The carriage was long and wide, and Carlos could even see a group of soldiers in black armor sitting in the long carriage.
Baron Maury was sincere when he saw him off, and pinched his youngest son on the thigh.
Seeing Carlos blinking his innocent big eyes, he naturally shed a handful of tears before he stopped.
After finishing the farewell, Baron Maury quickly took his eldest son De Ligt to capture it.
Seeing his father's look full of interest, he suspected that he wanted to use these equipment to arm a team of bounty hunters of his own.
As for the candidates, the miners of Yanjing Town, who had just seen blood, were the best candidates.
Carlos rubbed his thighs and walked back, ready to find a few friends who were also frightened, Char's dream of being a hunter was probably shattered, and she was being reprimanded by her aunt, Malt's mother with her ears raised, Malt's little face was full of vitality, and after the freckles were covered, the little girl suddenly became beautiful.
With Carlos's guarantee, Malt didn't need to go to the bar to be a girl, and maybe her mother didn't want Malt to go to the bar either, and the woman didn't know that her daughter was so familiar with Baron Mawrie's precious son.
Carlos went to say hello when he arrived.
The woman lifted her head as she carried Char's drooping ears, and looked at Carlos with an eye that was too affectionate to look at, and there was nothing left in her eyes that burned like fire.
Carlos was glad that Char finally had someone to discipline him, and ran away.
Also reprimanded was the little fat man Koeman.
The Steam Guardian Augusta looked at his son with disdain.
"You haven't even cut off the head of a bounty hunter?"
Coman puffed out his cheeks and said arrogantly: "I had a move with a two-star swordsman, and a chair smashed on his shoulder, and the whole person vomited blood, Carlos can testify." ”
The tower-like man looked at Carlos, who nodded desperately.
"Yes, I saw it, Coman smashed that guy hard with all his strength, and I almost took a step back when I saw that scar-faced swordsman was smashed, almost ......"
"Go back and keep practicing... Don't leave the steam valve house for a month!"
Augusta taught his son no mercy, and slapped the little fat man on the high cheeks.
The little fat man Coman's originally bulging cheeks quickly died down, and then quickly bulged again, turning blue and purple.
Carlos took a breath, subconsciously rubbed the bruises on his thighs, and suddenly felt less pain.
After looking around, I didn't see the figure of the short-sighted Sidis, it is estimated that he was rushed by his father to snatch the corpse to receive the reward, and it was not easy for his father to send him to the Academy of Dark Magic.
Grant arrives in the carriage and prepares to take Carlos back first...
The carriage was followed by four or five armed horses, tall and burly, and at first glance they were good horses of solid color.
Carlos was in a daze for a moment.
Grant was also a little stunned, and when he saw Carlos looking at him, he pretended to be a competent old groom, looked ahead with a serious face, and covered his slightly reddened old face.
Carlos climbed into the carriage and sat down before saying, "Why do you want so many horses, can you brush them over?"
"As long as it's a good horse, it's brushed. ”
Grant drove his horse slowly forward and thought carefully for a moment before speaking.
This is a true expression, and I don't know why this thief-turned-killer is so interested in raising horses, Carlos shook his head slightly.
If you don't understand it, you don't think about it, and suddenly you remember something, Carlos asked Grant.
"Uncle, why did you kill the bounty hunters alone at that time, and you didn't go to the bar to protect me, young master, I was almost caught by that Laurent. ”
The old groom pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "With that old man here, no one can hurt the little master, and besides, his daughter seems to be a master." ”
Carlos glared and said in surprise, "You also know Grandpa Flint?"
Grant drove the car, and only said slowly for a long time: "Back then, it was the young lady introduced by that person for Lord Baron Morrie, and then there was you, young master." ”
Carlos was dumbfounded.
The Stevensonsian Nightwatchmen suffered heavy losses in the battle, for which Baron Maury temporarily halted the salt well business.
A group of newcomers were recruited from the miners to serve as night watchmen, numbering nearly a hundred, armed with bounty hunters' standard short guns and scimitars.
As long as De Ligt trains these people for a while, he can be quite powerful.
Carlos knew that the mines in Salt Well could no longer satisfy his father's appetite, and with the verbal guarantee of General Flint, his ambition even secured 7,700 square kilometers of land in East Cyprus.
The original map of the humble town hanging in the center of the study was replaced by a fine map of the administrative district of East Cyprus.
And his original target, Xilin City, was only one of the ten medium-sized cities in the Eastern Administrative Region.
Everyone seemed to have their own goals, and Carlos was too embarrassed to be idle.
Early the next morning, Carlos led Grant in a carriage to the dungeon under the Salt Mine to pick up people.
Carlos looked at the three hunter brothers with a smile, and after the three sets of bounty hunter clothes brought from the capture were put on by the three guys who were not beginner hunters, not to mention that it really looked like that.
The fat hunter Conrad looked at his appearance with satisfaction, and heroically put his rice bowl on the haystack of the dungeon and said: "I knew that there was this treatment, and the little young master ordered my brother to agree to come down a long time ago." ”
"As long as this mission is completed, you can get three sets of trainee knight's armor. ”
Carlos was not polite, squinting and nodding.
The tall Thorley and the short Murray had a look of anticipation on their faces.
Carlos turned his head to Anderson, who was holding his steel-patterned sword, and said: "In addition to alchemy medicinal materials on this trip, you also have to help me escort two people into the mountains, and you don't care who is sitting in the car along the way, just send them to the designated place, and then return along the way, and after taking the medicinal materials out, return early."
I'll have to wait for you in the town for five months, and if you miss the season and the snow covers the mountains, I'll treat you as dead. ”
Anderson looked up at the fat black cat lying on the railing of the dungeon, and said lightly: "Don't forget your promise, even if I miss the time, as long as I complete the task and come out, you have to let me go to the Central Province without being wanted by the Sword Pavilion." ”
Carlos smiled, revealing his white teeth.
"No problem. ”
