Chapter 10: Snowy Night Tracking
Quinine Carrick's lips twitched slightly, and his expression suddenly froze, looking at the door.
"What's wrong?"
Li Tong looked back at the door, looking puzzled.
"It's possible that your old friend is back." Quinin Carrick got up, tiredness disappearing from his face, his eyes sharpened again, and slowly walked to the door.
"Aren't you curious where those cards come from? You'll find out next. ”
He reached out and pulled out a sword behind his back, held it in his hand, and slowly pushed the door open, the cold wind blew in, mixed with snowflakes, and it began to snow outside again.
The door was empty.
With curiosity, Li Tong walked over, the night was silent, the cold wind slapped on his face with snowflakes, the tiredness disappeared in an instant, and he was much more energetic.
The bounty hunter looked around the night street, and after a moment withdrew his sword and pointed to the ground.
"That's the best source, and the Cursed will also have primordial Destiny cards in their blood."
Li Tong paused for a moment and looked at the ground of the doorway pointed by the other party's finger, there were some footprints, which were quite clear, but they were only limited to the part of the door, and the snow one meter away from the door was quite flat and there were no traces.
The snow is not heavy, and if there are footprints, it is impossible to be buried at this time, so how did the eavesdroppers get to the door?
"Old friend...... The Cursed ......"
Thinking of these two words in the bounty hunter's answer, he suddenly understood.
"It's Renzade......"
Quinine Carrick walked out, stood in the snow, and looked back at the roof, where the snow on the eaves was thick, and a large amount of snow was sliding down the roof.
Seeing the bounty hunter's actions, Li Tong thought about how the eavesdropper had come to the door.
Roof......
After being discovered, you can leave from the roof, so you can be sure that you will not leave a footprint when you come and flee.
Rushing out of the doorway, I looked up at the rooftops, where some of the unshaken snow could be seen with visible footprints.
The scene in front of him was chilling, and Li Tong shuddered and quickly re-entered the house.
"What did he come back for?"
"I don't know, but it's definitely about you."
The bounty hunter frowned slightly, raised his hand to his mouth, and whistled.
A moment later, in the darkness of the night, a horse galloped at a gallop and stopped at the door.
Black fur, perfectly blended with the night, no sense of disobedience, covered with snow, peculiar purple eyeballs look unique, swinging their heads to make a "poof" sound, looking quite restless.
"Put on your coat and bring a weapon if you have one, we'll have to warm up tonight."
Quinin Carrick stroked the black horse's neck, rolled over, jumped on the horse's back, and looked at the young man at the door.
Is this going out to fight on your own? Li Tong's legs were weak, quite resistant, and he raised his hands and swung them, looking embarrassed.
"Well, no need, I'll just wait for you here."
The bounty hunter grabbed the reins and swung them gently to quiet the restless horses.
"Don't you want to know what your abilities are, the battle can be discovered more quickly, and I can assure you that it is safer to be with me than you to be here alone, you are quite important to me, and to be precise, indispensable for my employer's next research."
Li Tong looked up at the roof, and there was a creaking sound from the roof, although he knew that it was caused by the heavy snow, but he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he remembered that Rensad had escaped from the roof earlier.
It's hard to stay here to ensure that Lensad won't kill a horse pistol, and it will definitely be "cool" when the time comes, although the guy in front of him is annoying, but at least it doesn't look like his life is in danger at the moment.
After analyzing the pros and cons, take off the black cloak from the hanger on the side of the door, put it on, go to the desk and take the "minion" primordial fate card that belongs to you, go out and close the door, and walk to the tall horse.
"Well, you'll have to lend me your musket."
……
The snow was halfway up the horse's legs, which seriously affected the horse's speed. The pace of travel is very slow, and it is not possible to go there faster than walking.
The dark night had merged the earth and the sky, and at this moment it was far away from the town, and it was impossible to distinguish the specific direction by the only object that could not be distinguished.
Li Tong sat on horseback, holding a silver sword in his right hand, and secretly muttered a few "stingy", the wind and snow slapped on his face like a cold blade, completely blocking the black cloak on his face, finally better, looking at the bounty hunter whose cheeks were completely exposed to the air, muttered quietly.
"Is this guy iron-clad?"
In addition to muttering and slandering, of course, there are more important things to consider.
When he first arrived in this strange world, he could encounter a crisis at any time, so in addition to learning about his special abilities as soon as possible, he must have a weapon at hand, of course, a cold weapon is not a good hand, at least the silver sword lent to him by the "miser" in his hand does not count, the best choice is of course a musket.
The gun in the bounty hunter's hand is very good, but in the current situation, this guy will definitely not sell it to himself, so he can only inquire about the source of the musket, and then find the time to buy one himself, and after making up his mind, he patted the other party's arm holding the reins of the horse.
"Did you find anything?"
The voice of a bounty hunter was heard ahead.
"Well, not yet, I just wanted to inquire about the origin of your gun."
Li Tong responded embarrassedly.
Quinin Carrick grabbed the reins of his horse with one hand, and pulled his gun out with the other, and he was also very conspicuous in the night, and his face was proud.
"Listen, this is my gun, caliber 11.43 mm, revolver, the top of the Honey Master Gun Shop, produced at Yongge Fort in the fortress hills, the retail price is 135.56 guilders, the handle is made of walnut wood, the body is made of fine iron, and with a sensitive trigger, it is simply worth the money. Because of the special use, all bullets need to be specially customized with sterling silver, understand? (A tribute to "Evil Dead 3")
Listening to the speech-like introduction, Li Tong suddenly felt a little familiar, and a certain R-rated bloody movie in his previous life came to mind.
"Isn't that the line of the hapless protagonist......"
If it weren't for long enough, I almost thought that this guy was the unlucky movie protagonist who crossed over.
After joking, he suddenly remembered the price just introduced, and Li Tong's liver trembled.
"You just said 135.56 guilders?"
"That's right."
The bounty hunter retracted his gun, pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse stopped.
"It's a bit expensive, but it's saved me a few times, and it's totally worth it."
Then he turned over and dismounted, stepped on the thick snow and walked alone for a few steps and stopped, leaning down to check the snow surface in the dark.
Li Tong was still stunned on horseback, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"135.56 guilders, you need 135 gold bars to buy a revolver, this is no longer something that a profiteer can describe, it is simply a robber."
Looking back at the bounty hunter sitting in the snow not far away, he jumped off his horse, walked over and learned to bend down to look at the snowy surface, where a line of footprints had been buried by the snow, the outline was blurred, and it stretched to the edge of the night, leaving traces of Rensad's escape.
Quinine Carrick reached out and grabbed a handful of snow and put it in his mouth, his lips squirmed, he squinted in the direction where the footprints extended and was silent for a moment, then got up, clapped his hands, and slapped the snow off his hands.
"Let's go back."
Li Tong was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the other party decided to do so, it was better to solve Rensad sooner rather than later, as long as he existed, he would not be safe, so he simply mustered up the courage to propose.
"Just follow the footprints and we'll be able to find him."
The bounty hunter turned and walked towards the horses.
"Most of the footprints he left behind have been buried by the snow when we chase us here, and within ten minutes, the traces will be completely buried by the snow, and when the time comes, nothing will be found, it is just a waste of time."
Now the snow is much heavier than some time ago, Li Tong looked around, the night was silent, he came back to his senses and shivered, and quickly ran to the horse to climb on the horse's back, but because the snow had no support, he tried several times and failed, and stretched out his hand in embarrassment.
"Uh, do me a favor, give me a hand."
After a trip in the snowy night and the return of the horses, ordinary people will definitely get lost at this moment, but it is not a problem for Quinine Carrick, who can see at night.
