Chapter 17: The Uninvited Guest
"The Brotherhood of Destiny was formed by my employer, and there are only ten people on my board, each with a different original destiny card, and the employer wants to study this new mystical power system through the upgrading of the members' destiny cards."
Quinin Carrick doesn't drag his feet at all and gets straight to the point.
"Originally, we thought that there were only ten different primordial fate cards, but your appearance broke the status quo and the eleventh primordial fate card appeared, and if you want to fully study this new mystical power system, your participation is essential, although I haven't had a chance to ask for the opinion of the employer, but he will definitely agree with my decision to absorb you."
After a pause, he got up and walked to the bedroom door, stretched out his left hand to hold the bedroom door to prevent the children from coming out suddenly, and then pulled the gun out of his bosom with his right hand.
"I don't think you understand what I mean, I'm not asking for your opinion, and if you choose not to join, I'll only give you a bullet to keep you from falling into an organization that is doing the same research as my employer."
This is not a domineering president, this is a robber.
Benjamin, who was lying on the desk with his eyes closed, woke up at this time, looking proud.
"I sympathize with you, but I can't seem to help you, I need to leave for a while to avoid your blood splashing on my hair." Then he turned and jumped off the desk, and slipped under the desk with a grunt.
Luo Ning's back spine was cold, and Benjamin even made up for the knife.
Those who know the times are Junjie, and they don't have to worry about running out of firewood.
Less than a second later, he immediately made a decision to sit motionless in his position to avoid some unnecessary actions that could cause misunderstandings and eventually lead to a bloody case.
"A huge reward of 15 guilders per month, an idiot will refuse, I am 10,000 in favor, and now we are accomplices."
There was a crisp sound in the back, it was the sound of the gun retreating, and Luo Ning immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The bounty hunter returned to his seat, put away his gun, and took out another nameplate and placed it on the table.
"The badge of the Brotherhood of Destiny is your identification."
Luo Ning reached out and picked up the badge, the badge depicted a monkey, the monkey was holding something like a coconut in his arms, and looked at it for a moment to put the badge away.
"You know...... I'm from the Order Church and I'm joining this ...... Brotherhood of Fate, will there be any trouble? ”
To survive in a strange world, you must first understand the rules here and avoid any dangers that may arise, he asked earnestly.
Quinin Carrick shook the emblem engraved with a silver sword from his bosom.
"At the same time as joining the Brotherhood of Destiny, I am also a member of the Brotherhood of Silver Dawn, and that doesn't matter, because the Brotherhood of Destiny is not public, it's just a small group between the employer and the eleven of us."
After confirming that there was no danger, Luo Ning accepted his new identity, and the series of experiences just now also made him make up his mind that he would not tell this guy about the new abilities he had acquired, and the bounty hunter was a bit capricious, making it impossible to judge his position.
"From now on, you have to inform your employer of any discoveries or changes you have in the new power system."
The bounty hunter took a pen and paper from his body, wrote a line of addresses, and handed them over.
"Just look for a reliable sender to deliver the letter to this place."
took the note and looked at the address, at present, the geographical environment of this world is still limited to Crow Town, and I don't know the specific location of the address, so I put the note away and found a topic at random to ease the tension just now.
"Where have you been today?"
After a long silence, Quinine Carrick placed a piece of the Brotherhood of Destiny badge on the table, the badge still had some blood stains on it, and his voice was tired.
"One of our members died last night."
Luo Ning chuckled in his heart.
"Why? Vendetta? Accidentally? ”
The bounty hunter shook his head in denial.
"His original fate card was taken by the murderer, and the matter that represents his entry into the new power system has been leaked, and someone has been eyeing him for a long time, but he only took action last night."
After experiencing the inevitable event, you get the combination card, and then you need to upgrade the combination of other original cards given by the combination card, murder and robbery are inevitable, it seems that after getting the original card, the danger not only comes from itself, but also from the outside world, Luo Ning gasped.
"So the Brotherhood of Destiny members went from eleven to ten?"
The bounty hunter nodded.
"I need to develop a new member with the original Destiny Card of the Free Man into the Brotherhood of Destiny as soon as possible to fill the empty spot he left behind, which means I need to leave early, and the danger of Rensad can only be dealt with by yourself. ”
After a slight hesitation, he took the gun from his bosom and placed it on the table.
"The gun is lent to you for the time being, only five bullets, save a little, if five bullets can't solve Rensad, you can only pray that the gods will bless you."
After that, I got up and tidied up my bags and walked to the door.
Luo Ning was still staring at the gun and secretly excited, and immediately left the chair and walked to the door after realizing that he should get up at this time, pretending to be lost.
"It was a great time with you, and it was sad that I didn't expect to have to say goodbye so soon."
The bounty hunter, who had already opened the door, suddenly closed the door again.
Seeing this scene, Luo Ning's expression froze, and the muscles on his face twitched.
"This guy shouldn't really stay because of his own words."
Quinine Carrick looked a little embarrassed, a rarity in him, and hesitated for a moment to speak.
"You're a pretty good cook, and frankly I've never tasted it this before, and I have a daughter, fourteen, and I think she's going to love the kind of potato pie you make, so I'd like to bring some back to her."
Luo Ning finally understood that this guy was willing to lend him the gun, not because of kindness, but just to exchange for some potato cakes.
After understanding the other party's intentions, he breathed a sigh of relief and snapped his fingers.
"No problem, wait a minute."
Half an hour later, a large number of fried hash browns were baked, some wrapped in paper, and sent the bounty hunters away.
Looking back at the vanishing into the night, the children had already emerged from the bedroom and looked at the remaining hash browns on the table.
Ronin quickened his pace and put the gun away to avoid the children touching it, and then divided the hash browns evenly.
After the children finished eating, they were sent back to the bedroom, and they told bedtime stories according to the old rules, and when the children fell asleep, they returned to the outhouse and couldn't wait to take out the revolver.
Opening the magazine, the five silver bullets are a bit dazzling, and with this gun, you can be much more relaxed in the face of danger.
To be on the safe side, you can only carry the gun on your body, it is already late at night, and it is time to rest.
I got up and added some firewood to the stove to keep it warm, and was about to extinguish the candles, when there was a slight creaking sound from the roof, and with the small sound, a small dust spilled from the cracks in the roof, and the dust drifted under the candlelight, mixed with a little pungent in the air.
"Looks like we'll have to clear the snow tomorrow or the roof will collapse."
Luo Ning looked up and muttered a few words, and was about to continue to extinguish the candle, when the slight sound of the roof continued to come, and the rhythmic sound quickly changed the position, which could be distinguished from the direction of the dust falling from the roof, just forming a straight line, and when it reached the eaves above the main entrance of the entrance, a dull loud sound came.
"Knock"
It was the sound of a heavy object falling on the ground, just outside the door.
"It's not snow, someone!"
