"He won't—"

Anna was also a little angry at these words, but more of a speechless. It is true that his identity is a little unusual, and Zoro may be a little less calculating because of the family's affection, but he has no obligation to take more care of Austin and others.

Maybe he shouldn't have been involved in the open and secret battles of this group of men? Like a noble lady of Apocalypse City, it might be more suitable for him to wander around in the high-class salon after having a certain ability to protect herself? Anna suddenly doubted her choice, which was extremely rare in the previous ten years.

The path up from the untouchables may be different from the struggle between the nobles, but it is more bloody and direct, like the brutality of hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield.

The biggest reason in the killing field is that it is unreasonable, all actions are just for their own better survival, and perhaps also include the few people around them, and the rules between the nobles have become dispensable, which makes Anna quite uncomfortable.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, the air seemed to be gradually stagnant, and even the howling wind and the light in the sky seemed a little redundant in this space at this moment.

"Alright, David, I know your intentions. Austin spoke suddenly, breaking the unsettling silence, "I believe in Anna, and ...... Even if, even if there is some secret between Anna and Zoro that we don't know, Anna, I'm just a hypothesis, I hope you don't mind, is there anything else we can do?"

When Davix heard this, a few thoughts flashed through his mind, and he suddenly understood the meaning of Austin's words, and said, "Indeed...... Even if it's really a pit, we'll have to jump down. ”

"Relax, what if we think too much, what if it's just an ordinary commission?" Austin rubbed his face vigorously, smiled brightly, and walked over and put his arm around Davix's shoulder, "Anna, we really don't mean to suspect anything, it's just that some things always have to be figured out." ”

Anna bit her lip and nodded vigorously, "It's okay, I understand." David, I know a thing or two about what you think. Zoro is not invincible, it's only the first time you've faced such a big man on your own. Ants can also bite elephants to death, and the electors are also people, and the superiors are also people, as long as you find the right direction, you don't need to look up at them, and you can even trample them under your feet. ”

With these words of encouragement, Anna carefully hid a trace of gray in her heart, like a brown piece of dirt on a snowy mountain, small but dazzling.

"That—I said everyone, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, shouldn't we discuss it, should we accept Zoro's commission?" Moroji cleverly changed the subject this time, although the topic he was looking for was exchanged for idiot looks from several people around him.

"Hey, are you listening to all this talk?" Anna jumped up and slapped Moroji on the head, "If we want to investigate Zoro, this is the best place to start, of course we have to take it!"

That afternoon, Austin sent Brunei and Blazing Bear back to the barracks, and then took a few men and guards to the Hunters' Guild in the Black Market to look for the birds that Sauron had spoken of.

Blazing Bear has always been a big personality and is extremely obedient to Austen's orders, while Brunei is a little unhappy, but Austin explains that this is his "private work" and does not want to involve the brothers in the Inquisition, and they will naturally be used in the future, so Brunei is a little unwilling to leave.

The Hunters' Guild is a somewhat special organization, except for a mysterious initiator, the rest of the characters are mixed, most of them are pioneers and wandering warriors from the bottom, who go in and out of the wilderness or accept commissioned tasks in exchange for resources and even life security for continued advancement.

But at the same time, it is also full of thieves, intelligence traffickers and gang members, and the Hunters' Association does not exclude this part of the population, but it does not give them an official name, giving them a great deal of autonomy.

It was wartime, and the halls of the Hunters' Guild were a little deserted, after all, in such a situation, few people were willing to go out of the city to explore the wilderness. However, at this moment, the people who dare to stay in the hall and wait for the opportunity have all been screened by the situation, and they are either exquisite in all directions, or they have strong combat power and extremely high self-confidence.

Austin and the others were dressed in disguise, although they were a little rough, but they also concealed their true colors, and as soon as they entered the hall, they felt a few not-so-friendly glances, and at the same time, a few people's eyes flashed, and they were about to lean over with smiling faces.

Austin frowned, and several people exuded a fifth-order source force at the same time, and suddenly the blood red and earthy yellow light would reflect each other, and several other powerful force fields instantly spread outward, and the sound of bluestone jumping suddenly came from the room!

After pushing the onlookers back, Austin went straight to the person in charge, reported the name of the bird, and was taken to a room at the back of the hall.

"Welcome, Lord Baron Austin. The lord of the castle said that you would definitely come, so he ordered me to wait here, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly, but it surprised the little one. ”

Asuka's face didn't match his codename, he was a gloomy young man with high cheekbones, deep-set eye sockets, a somewhat sharp jaw, and extremely thin lips that gave him a cold look. Asuka stood up and saluted, his hands still not leaving the double knife at his waist, his fingers were slender and powerful, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed, and he was obviously also a good hand at controlling cold weapons.

Although he only has a fourth-order rank, which is lower than half of the people present, Austin does not dare to despise such a person, especially since he is made a "deputy" by Zoro, who must be extraordinary.

After a brief introduction, Austin decided to get straight to the point: "I don't know what Lord Zoro's commission is, and what about the reward? I didn't talk to the adults in detail before, and I asked Mr. Asuka to tell me." ”

"Lord Austin doesn't need to be in a hurry, the little one will give you answers one by one. Asuka lowered his posture very low, even a little flattering, and Austin did not object.

"First of all, the Lord received a batch of goods from the Blood Moon Chamber of Commerce, and for some unexplained reasons, the goods stayed outside the city. Adults are afraid of being intercepted on the way to the cargo......"

"Who is so bold as to intercept your adult's cargo?" Austin interrupted somewhat unceremoniously.

Asuka was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I really don't know this, my lord-the city lord has not explained, I guess maybe it's a spy from the Northern Barbarians, maybe it's some bandits or something." ”

Austin pouted, making no secret of his distrust of the explanation.

Asuka didn't feel embarrassed, and said to himself: "Actually, it's a simple escort mission, but it may deal with some unexpected situations, I believe that with your strength, there should be no problems." In addition, as for the remuneration you will receive, it is tentatively set at 2,000 gold coins, 1,000 in advance, and the remaining 1,000 when you arrive at your destination. ”

Austin's fingers tapped lightly on the only table in the room, and after a long time, he said, "Is it inconvenient for Fang to tell me the contents of the goods?" A mission in Apocalypse City is only a few hundred gold coins at most, and this time he will directly give me two thousand, which makes me a little flattered." Is the cargo too valuable? If anything, I can't afford it. ”

Asuka tried to make his smile look kinder, but Austin always felt a little mocking: "You misunderstood, this cargo doesn't need any special protection, and the reward is shared by several people." With so many good players joining, it is naturally a lot of money. As for how it will be distributed among you, it has nothing to do with the castle lord. ”

Austin nodded in understanding, and Asuka continued to ask, "Are you going to leave immediately?" If so, we'll go and contact the Blood Moon Chamber of Commerce now to expel people together." They also had the duty of guarding, and they would have helped. ”

Austin didn't like the other party's fixed expectations, and he didn't seem to have a clear answer from beginning to end, but now was not the time to be picky, and immediately said: "That's very good, then please." ”
