Chapter 7: Bounty Hunters

What a girl looked at the fat magician in front of her in disbelief, this was the first time she had missed since she began her career as a thief at the age of six, how could she stand it with her pride

At this moment, an imperceptible sneer appeared on the girl's face, and she saw that her left hand, which had been blocked by her right hand, moved slightly, and a dagger flew straight towards Cassius, and stabbed - the dagger pierced Cassius's throat with unmistakable accuracy, and the fat body fell down with a bang

Hmph, a dead fat pig wanted to fight with Miss Ben, and the girl with her left hand who had withdrawn her free hand muttered to herself with satisfaction

But then she found herself in trouble, and in the face of the dozen or so companion girls who had been frozen into ice sculptures, she scratched her head in confusion: "Oh, how can we restore them to their original state, if only we didn't clean up the fat pig at once, it would be better to nail all his hands and feet to the dagger, and then torture him little by little to force him to dissolve the spell."

At a young age, your heart is too vicious

The girl, who was pondering a solution, was startled by the sudden appearance of the word, because the owner of the voice should have been killed by her, and the girl turned her head to look in the direction where Cassius was standing, but Cassius was gone, and there was no body on the ground, only a large puddle of water and the dagger lying in the puddle

What was going on, the girl was puzzled

It's very simple, what you just 'killed' is just an illusion made of water elementals, and while speaking, the real Cassius appeared at the door, only to see him snap his fingers, the large puddle of water stains on the ground quickly gathered and turned into a transparent water elemental man, standing in front of Cassius, this water elemental man quickly changed color and shape, and became another Cassius

The girl watched in amazement as Cassius completed this qiē spellless spell casting, you are a three-ring mage

No, I had already done the process of chanting this magic before I came in, and it was just a snap of my fingers that the last step to activate the magic had evolved into a snap of his fingers, Cassius was very realistic, and he never exaggerated his strength

The girl smiled bitterly and said, "According to you, I have lost the opportunity to sneak attack for the second time, and she said helplessly, and she lowered her right hand, which was still holding the dagger

That's true, and there's no way you're going to get away with it, because I went to report the crime, and now the sheriff has sent someone to surround the place, and as Cassius spoke, he touched his wand to the water elemental self and put it back into the watery state, and at the same time, his body went to the other side of the doorway, and a man walked in, only to see him wearing the uniform of the city sheriff

Thanks to your full assistance, we were able to bring this group of thieves who had been plagued by the city for many years to justice, and the magistrate of Fana stared at the girl and told Cassius that he was not a member of the church, and that he did not have a deep prejudice against the magicians of the Snowy Federation, and now that this magician had helped him solve one of the most difficult security problems in the city, he was grateful to this mage

The girl snorted her lips and raised her head upwards with a look of disdain

But as her head went up, a blue hedron pendant hung around her neck was revealed, and Cassius noticed that the blue hedron was flashing constantly

This is...... Cassius pointed to the blue hedrons, but before he could finish his sentence, the change happened again

I don't know why, the girl had an inconspicuous little test tube in her hand, and she smashed it to the ground, and a puff of smoke quickly took over every corner of the small room

Well, Cassius and the sheriff rushed up at the same time in smoke, but the place where the girl had just stood was empty, and the smoke quickly cleared, and it seemed that the alchemist who made this magic reagent was not very high, and the sheriff's men also rushed into the house, and reported to their commander that they had not seen anyone running out of the house when they surrounded the house, and then they found a large hole in the corner, and it was pitch black inside, and they did not know where it led, but one thing was certain, and the girl escaped from this

There was also a large pile of gold and silver treasures on the table that the girl had not had time to take away, and Cassius took these belongings back into his bag and lifted the freezing magic from the dozen or so thieves who had not been able to escape

The sheriff was directing his men to escort the dozen or so shivering men and women back when he found Cassius packing up his belongings and about to leave

Sir, where are you going, the sheriff asked

I think it's time for me to leave, Cassius said

Don't rush to leave, anyway, your belongings are not lost, the sheriff will sincerely keep you, you have done us a great favor today, and the lord of the city will personally reward you with a medal of 'Outstanding Citizen' tomorrow morning."

You're welcome, Cassius has refused the sheriff's kindness, I must go after the girl, she may have stolen something from one of my friends

Located in the western border city of Kashi in the Kingdom of Vimumen

It was once the forefront of the military confrontation between the Vimumen and Ban Rush Men and the Fayer Empire, with both sides amassing heavy troops on the east and west sides of the city, but after the signing of the armistice between the Vimumen and the Uyghurs and Ban four years ago, the breath of war has gradually drifted away from people's lives, and with the end of military administration, various market cultures have been resurrected - including, of course, the gambling that was once prevalent in Kashi

I cāoWhat a stupid donkey dealt a stinky cardA thin black young man slammed a card on the table - he had appeared a few days earlier in a casino in the southern part of the peninsula in Port Celidaya

You lost again, as if this game was the 300th time you said that you would win, someone next to him asked, his words caused laughter, the face of the thin man was angry with pig's liver, he got up and was about to leave, when two big men blocked his way

You still owe us 3,000 gold coins of gambling debts, and you can only leave after paying off the two big men glaring at the black and thin young man

The two eldest brothers have something to discuss, you lend me some more money, and I will definitely turn the tables and pay back the money in the next game, and the black and thin young man is once again pretending to be pitiful with a smile on his face

Before the two big men had a seizure, a heavy cloth bag appeared in front of the two big men, and there was a crisp sound of gold coins colliding with each other

This little brother owes you money, see if there is enough here, and said a thin old woman with a money bag

The two big men took the cloth bag and weighed it, and then left with a full heart, and said to the black and thin young man: You are so lucky, I don't know where to find a big money as a backer

You are...... The black thin young man looked at this strange old woman who had never met a little suspiciously, and guessed in his heart the reason why she helped him out of the siege

I'm an old woman sent by your next employer

I'm sorry, old lady, I don't understand your words, the thin black young man is pretending to be confused

Stop pretending that all the people here are stupid donkeys, and do you still think my old woman is a stupid donkey, the best new bounty hunter in Olopa in recent years: Old Lady Joyka said the name of the thin black young man, and since the old woman said this loudly, almost everyone in the casino heard it

The bounty hunter Joica, who was the one in Joeyka's casino, all stopped what they were doing when they heard the name, and turned their heads to the black and thin young man and the old woman

The black and thin young man was in a hurry, so he hurriedly pulled the old woman's clothes: Let's go, let's go somewhere else to discuss

Arriving at a large tavern, Joyka and the old woman chose a quieter and more remote table and sat down

Say, Joika asks the old woman, how does your master know where I am

The old woman smiled and said, "You are very different from other bounty hunters, and people usually ask what the mission is first

It hasn't happened yet, I can't complete the bounty task, only the bounty task I want to take or not, Joika waved my hand, I want to see how capable this employer is before I decide whether to take this task or not, first of all, I want to know how you found me

Bounty hunters are a special profession in Olopa, they are generally warriors or mages with strong combat effectiveness, they have no regular income, and they do not serve a specific country or organization, they will only be temporarily employed by some employers to sell their combat power to complete the tasks assigned to them by the employer in order to obtain money to raise money, in this regard, the nature of bounty hunters is similar to mercenaries, but mercenaries belong to mercenary groups, and their behavior is restricted by their own mercenary group, while bounty hunters are completely individual, and some are more capableThe reason why Joika doesn't want to reveal his identity at the casino is that he fears that when he arrives at the casino the next day, dozens of people will block the door and hire him to do things, so he will have to travel to the next city to find a new casino

In the face of Joyka's questioning, the old woman replied with mockery: Actually, you are very easy to find, because it has spread on the three continents of Olopa, if suddenly one day a dark and thin young man appears in a casino, this young man will lose every time he gambles, not only poor gambling skills, but also worse gambling products, then this person must be Joyka

The old woman's words made Joyka's face flush with anger, and he left it, snorted, and stood up to leave

Don't be busy leaving, the old lady is not nervous at all when she sees Joyka leaving, don't you want those two things

What do you say, Joyka stopped

It's those two swords and longbows made of Mithril alloy, which are always taken to the pawnshop for money and continue to gamble, but after a few days you will be redeemed with a lot of money, the old woman explained

Hearing the old woman say this, Joyka immediately touched herself, and when he found the two notes lying intact in his coat pocket, he breathed a long sigh of relief

Don't look at my master, not a thief, just a merchant, the old woman laughed, she saw Joyka's actions, and knew what he was thinking, my master just bought the pawnshop, but what would happen to the goods inside, I don't know what to do with it

Joyka grabbed her hair and sat back in her chair and said to the old woman, "Forget it, I've been defeated, and now I admit that your master is qualified enough to be my new employer, say what do you want me to do?"

I want you to kill a woman

Woman Joyka blinked

Yes, it was a female priest of light, the old woman nodded, she had mixed up with a group of Gamboki, and now she might have reached the border area between the Fayeru Empire and the Kingdom of Pole, and you can find her if you find the Gamboki convoy.
