Cangling Town, a small town located on the western border of the Fayele Empire and the Bole Kingdom, this ancient town has a long history, and it has existed before the birth of the two countries on both sides of the border, zài was originally established to commemorate the Duke of Cangling of the ancient Misura Empire more than 2,000 years ago, and now the battle medals of the Duke of Cangling have been submerged in the long river of history, only the name of Cangling Town has been handed down

The current population of Cangling Town is no more than 500, and they are not engaged in agriculture, because the caravans, mercenaries, and adventurers who travel between Poland and France every year bring a good income to the inhabitants of this town, and lead to the prosperity of some industries in the town, such as taverns and prostitutes

Fragrant Fire - The largest tavern operators in Cangling Town have combined two of the most developed industries in the town into one

A tall and thin man had just walked into the door of the tavern and attracted several people sitting at the bar with heavy makeup and bright clothes. Attention of the sexyly clad woman, the light in the tavern is dark, this is the ambiguous atmosphere deliberately created by the operator, so the man's face is not very clear, but he is not too old, the man has a weapon behind his back, those dusty women, from experience, this person should be an adventurer or a bounty hunter, but it doesn't matter what kind of profession he is, in the eyes of these fragrant warblers, the man's bulging pockets are the most attractive to them

The women gathered around him, scrambling to be the first to show him courtesy, in order to prove before the man that he had done a great job of serving the man, and the purpose was to get a little more in the man's bulging pocket, and in the face of such an affair, the man did not have to pretend to be serious, he blatantly rubbed the oil on the girls who were around him, and his eyes turned around on the girl, and at last he slapped the big buttocks of one of the girls with the biggest buttocks, and then left the female companions laughing, and the women were stunned at first, then scolded, and then they dispersed - they had to go to other customers to make money to make ends meet

If he had been in normal times, he would not have missed the opportunity to enjoy the good fortunes just now, but now he had no such ambition, because he had other important things to do when he came to this tavern, and the tall and thin man got rid of the girl's entanglement and searched around the tavern, his eyes always fell on some secluded corner, as if he were looking for someone

The tall and thin man searched with his eyes for a while, and finally found his target, if the dust girls just saw them, they would definitely vomit blood in anger, because this man's date was like an old woman in her sixties or seventies

How did you complete the task, and the old woman asked when she saw the man sitting down across from her without looking

No man answered

Since you haven't completed the task yet, why are you in such a hurry to ask me to meet, do you really want to date my old woman, if the old woman's words are heard by others, she will definitely be angry

The tall and thin man sitting across from her was choked by her words, and the wine he had just drunk in his mouth sprayed all over the table, cough, cough, cough, I said, old lady, are you joking, take something else, okay, you choked me to death just now...... By the way, this time I asked you to come to tell you that I won't do that task, and I will return the deposit to you, and he poured out the gold coins in his waist bag

Looking at the old woman's displeased expression, the man added: Here are three hundred gold coins, which is indeed a lot less than the deposit of 9,000 gold coins you originally paid me, but I will work hard to make money to pay you back

Hehehe, what you do seems to be against the professional ethics of a bounty hunter, this will have a great impact on your reputation in the future, the old woman is a little surprised, the tall and thin man's appearance

It's okay, the man spread his hands, anyway, I don't want to do this task anymore

The old woman picked up a glass of red wine in front of her, took a sip on her lips, and then said in a mocking tone: "I remember when we first met, you boasted that there was never a bounty task that you Joyka couldn't complete, and now what's the matter, it turns out that what you said before was just boasting?"

Yes, I said there were no bounties I couldn't complete, but I also said there were bounties I didn't want to accept, and Bounty Hunter Joika took a sip of the green fruit wine he ordered, and I'm sorry that the situation now falls on the latter

Can you tell me why I gave up the task, young man

Yes, but before I answer, I hope the old lady will come back to one of my questions

Funny lad, you say

I wonder who your master is, why did you kill that female priest, Joyka, and after saying that, she waited with interest for the old woman's reply

Oh my God, you're violating another piece of bounty hunter ethics: you shouldn't ask your employer who you are and why you're doing the job

But if I wasn't a bounty hunter now, why would you kill that priestess, Joika's eyes were sharp, and he was completely devoid of his original unruliness and carelessness

Who the hell are you, the old woman's expression was full of hostility

Who the hell are you, Joyka is unflinching, and she is not afraid to deal with necromancers

You...... The old woman pointed at Joyka, her eyes flashed with a fierce light, and since you know it, you are not allowed to live in this world anymore, well, now I will let you see my true colors

As she spoke, the old woman's countenance changed dramatically, the wrinkles on her face gradually flattened, her ears lengthened and sharpened, and in less than ten seconds a human old woman became a young elf—or so she was when she died, for there was not a trace of blood on the elf's face, but a deathly pale, and some of the skin on her sunken cheeks had shrunk and elongated, and there was not a trace of life or fire in her eyes

Banshee Joika immediately judged the identity of the other party, and while speaking, the long sword he had pinned to his waist was already on the neck of the banshee, and said Who are you

However, Joyka's current sword speed has not yet reached the speed of sound

The banshee let out an extremely terrible scream, Joyka's body was directly bounced out by the power of the sound wave, and the guests, waiters, and warblers in the tavern were all startled by this prominent scream, and soon the scream turned into a wail like a nightmare, and the terrible sound wave passed through everyone's eardrums, and all those who heard these wails fell to the ground in pain, convulsed a few times, and then completely stopped moving

Legend has it that if female elves are resurrected into undead by dark magic, they will become terrible banshees, and their banshee screams are a kind of nightmarish magic sonar. Unconscious, even more severe, mental confusion that turns into permanent dementia, and death wails are the most terrible banshee screams, which are murderous soundwaves, and anyone who hears this wail will die with a heart stop, and all the people in the tavern are dead, including Joyka

These are what you asked for, it seems that outsiders can't be trusted, and I still have to take action myself, and the banshee came to Joyka's corpse and said coldly

Ignoring the corpses littering the tavern, the banshee walked casually towards the tavern door

Suddenly, an arrow pierced the banshee's body from behind

You haven't died yet, the banshee turned around and looked at Joika, who was holding the Mithril longbow flat in one hand and empty in the other, and asked in a hoarse voice

Of course, from behind Joika came a young girl in a pure white priest's robe, and I cast a light magic on him, the 'Holy Wall', but it was completely resistant to any magic blows

You're a bunch of banshees, and when you see the bounty hunter and his target side by side, you immediately understand why the mission failed

That's right, Sophia said coldly, and as she lifted a glowing cross, the white light on it that shone brightly, leaving burning scars on the banshee's body

Joyka and Sophia once discussed this question, who bought the murder and wanted to kill Sophia, and then after speculation, they came to the conclusion, the biggest suspect is that the necromancer Vladimir, who was defeated by Sophia more than a month ago, due to the restraint of light magic on dark magic, the necromancer himself can't kill Sophia, so he may fake his hand to others, so Joika and Sophia cooperated to investigate who was behind the secret plan, but I didn't expect that it was not Vladimir who was waiting in this tavern, but an elf banshee...... As a result, some innocent people have been tragically killed by pond fish

The banshee raised her head and opened her mouth as if she were about to let out another death wail, just as an arrow pierced her throat

I'm sorry, I'm not going to make you make another sound, Joika shot the second arrow

If you don't let her speak, how can you ask what we want to know, Sophia reproached, "Wait until I use the 'evil confinement' to seal her dark magic, so that she can no longer utter the 'death wail', let's ask slowly, Sophia raised the silver cross."

Hearing Sophia's words, the banshee's face became very ugly, and she suddenly pounced on Sophia, trying to break the cross in the priestess's hand, but before the banshee could rush to Sophia, she encountered a third high-speed flying arrow, and the powerful impact force directly knocked the banshee to the ground, leaving the third arrow shot by Joika in her abdomen, and the banshee struggled to get up, trying to pull out the arrow that had pierced her throat;

Well, she couldn't let out that horrible scream anymore, and Sophia said to Joyka

As she spoke, Joyka shot four arrows at the same time, nailing the banshee's limbs to the wooden walls of the tavern

Joyka came to the banshee and pulled out the arrow that had been stuck in her throat: Now you should be honest, who are you and who is the master behind you

The banshee had a grim smile on her face, her lips moving slightly, as if she was saying something, but Joika couldn't hear what you were talking about, and Joika took a few steps closer to hear what the banshee was saying

Carefully sensing the fluctuations of the surrounding elements, Sophia immediately warns Joika, who is not magical

Joyka, who was reminded by Sophia, immediately jumped out of place, only to see a sharp ground piercing out of the ground he had just left, and if it weren't for Sophia's timely reminder or her own slow reaction, the stab would have been inserted directly into his ...... Joyka wiped a sweat

I didn't expect her to be an elemental mage - at least wasn't she honest before she became a banshee, Joika pulled her bow again, and set up an arrow, then I will torture you one arrow at a time, and after saying that, Joika let go of the bowstring, and the sharp arrow pierced the banshee's chest directly

Watch out for a necromancer near Joika and Sophia

A voice rang out in both Joyka and Sophia's heads at the same time

The two of them looked around, but they couldn't find anyone who had spoken out to remind them

At this time, a cloud of black gas swept towards the two from behind, and Joika noticed it, he immediately pushed away the female priest beside him, and the two poured to the left and right sides respectively, and the black gas was dodged by Joika and Sophia, and the figure of the sneak attacker appeared at the door

It's you, Sophia and Vladimir, their eyes are facing each other, and they are both surprised, the world turns out to be so small

Okay, it's all about to get done, I can complete the task and take revenge today, Vladimir raised his staff with three skeletons, and was about to cast a spell on Sophia

Vladimir, what are you doing, don't you hurry up and save me, the banshee who was pinned to the wooden wall shouted to Vladimir, who suddenly appeared

Latik, how could you be so wolf, Bèi Vladimir saw the existence of the banshee, and he was surprised by the state of the banshee at this time

None of you can go, Joyka set up her bow and arrows, and aimed at the new second necromancer

With a strange roar, more than 300 purple wraiths flew out of the mouths of the three skeletons at the top of the magic wand, and rushed towards a man and a woman who were his enemies

Don't touch those things, Sophia hurriedly ran to Joyka's side, and at the same time, the light of the cross burst out, and opened a shield that emitted a gentle white light, protecting the two of them inside

After a few minutes, the army of wraiths was purified by the white light emitted by the shield, but Vladimir and the banshee, named Latik, were gone, leaving only a few arrows on the ground from the wooden wall where the banshee had been nailed

Disgusting and let him run away again, Sophia looked at the remnants of the magical reaction generated by the spatial teleportation, and said regretfully

Is that the male necromancer the one you last met in the Ramer Mountains, Joyka asked

Sophia nodded

Let's go after it, or we'll die more people

Wait, Sophia grabbed Joika, and she glanced at the corpses all over the tavern, and we still had some business to attend to

Joyka sighed: "I didn't choose to meet her in a crowded place like the tavern if I knew I would be involved with so many people, it's all our fault."

Don't be too pessimistic, they are still saved, Sophia's expression is solemn, they just have a heart pause, and the soul should not be out of the body

Joika looked at Sophia with delight, who motioned for him to take a few steps back, and then she walked to the middle of the tavern, stood on top of a table, and raised the silver cross in her hand over her head.......
