What unexpectedly caught Winde's attention was a drawing.

It is quite rudimentary on the whole, and the paper used is not very good, it is thick and yellowish, and some local areas have faint residues of vegetation; The painting on it is also very rough, rather abstract like a child's graffiti.

When Wen De swept it, he only felt familiar, and then he looked at it and found that the painting looked like a bird and a fish, and finally carefully recognized it for a moment before he was sure that it was a fish.

A fish with a towering dorsal fin, like a shark, but with a few extra cannons on its belly.

…… Well, it's quite similar to the sand shark he saw when he first came to the wasteland.

But it's not the same one, or even the same species, Winder can't be sure at this time.

He looked at the picture for a little longer, and was noticed by Caterina, who explained with a smile, "This is a bounty image, which is specially used to reward people or monsters who are dangerous in themselves, but do not pose much threat to the intersection for the time being." She pointed to the two strings of numbers below the drawing, "Look, that's its bounty." ”

Caterina said something a little tongue-twisting, but Winder understood it right away.

The appearance of the bounty is due to the lack of control ability at the crossroads. At the end of the day, Crossroads is just a regional force. Maybe it's invincible in the vicinity, with no opponents. But as soon as you leave the region, your influence is declining rapidly.

This can only be described as a limitation, not a disadvantage.

However, it is a pity that no regional power in the wasteland can be left alone and completely self-sufficient.

The intersection does not do this, and it can even be said that it has a number of disadvantages in this regard - the intersection has been able to develop rapidly because it is located on several very important trade routes, its existence ensures the safety of the area, and it is the constant flow of merchants that make the intersection prosperous.

To put it mildly, the merchant is the bread and butter parent at the crossroads.

Although today, the crossroads have grown to the extent that they can bully customers, but some superficial image projects still need to be maintained.

For example, a group of merchants on their way to the intersection accidentally encounters a group of robbers, or biochemical monsters, steel beasts, etc., and they feel the danger and escape.

He reported the news to Crossroads—mainly the Hunters' Guild, which had made a name for itself in the first place—and the guild couldn't turn a blind eye and said, "Oh, it's too far away (the monsters are too strong), you might as well ask for your own blessings (figure it out yourself." Something like that.

That doesn't work, it's tantamount to pushing the merchants out.

So even if the actual situation does not allow it, whether it is really beyond the reach of the whip, or the reward is less than the lazy to do it, but on the surface, the attitude still has to be done.

At the very least, you have to appease the other party with a false and aggrieved snake.

And the matter of vanity and wrongdoing has gradually developed to the extreme, which is the result of the bounty portrait.

For the bounty portrait, the guild attaches great importance to it on the surface, there is a special person in charge, it is updated at any time, and the announcement image is also in the most conspicuous place in the mission area.

But actually...... Not to mention the hunters in the entire guild who make a living from bounties, there are not many who are willing to do the work of bounty.

There are many reasons here, one is that the reward of the bounty is not very high - don't look at the number under the bounty portrait is a lot, but it is time-consuming and difficult - if you calculate it carefully, it is likely to be as much as the harvest of doing a few tasks honestly.

Second, most of the people who can be registered by the guild to paint a portrait to offer a bounty are more dangerous monsters or bandits who can be called "powerful". This is a natural phenomenon, and it is not the turn of the Hunters Guild to worry about the problems that can be solved by the caravan guards.

Therefore, if you want to solve these threats, you must have the corresponding strength.

Hunters of this level are not often seen at crossroads, and there are even fewer hunters who have no master and are willing to make a bounty.

Among the dozen or so great hunters, only Caterina will occasionally make some rewards. Among the hunters below, those who are willing to make a bounty can be counted on four hands.

So in the current guild, the bounty orders have been piled up, and almost no one cares about them.

Caterina also didn't advise Winder to do it, especially the one he was currently looking at, "You'd better change your goal, right?" You're staring at this mackerel so far from the crossroads! ”

The word sand shark was the first time Wende had heard of it, and the phonetic characters were not yet easy to see, and Wende barely felt a little familiar from its pronunciation. After thinking about it for a while, he asked tentatively: "Is this sand shark you are talking about active in the desert west of the crossroads?" ”

Caterina was stunned for a moment, "How do you know?" Have you ever seen it?! ”

It seems to have hit......

Winder couldn't help but look at the sky, "Have you forgotten?" That's where I came from the west. After a pause, he added, "And it's not as simple as just seeing it." ”

Katarina's eyes widened all at once, "You killed it?!" Seeing Wende nodding, he couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the shoulder, "It's really yours!" This guy is both cunning and has an amazing range of activities, and a few hunters have troubled it before, probably because the chariot is too loud, and the sand shark has not appeared at all! ”

In the excitement, her voice was a little louder. The staff on the side heard it and stepped forward and asked, "Madam, is there anything you want me to serve?" ”

Caterina ignored him, and without the slightest suspicion of what Winder said, she reached out and removed the bounty order. Then he thought, "Speaking of which, I've heard about you before......

Carter's understanding of the guild certainly wasn't comparable to Winder's. She swept her gaze, saw her target on a wanted post, pointed to a beastly man who looked a bit like a lion and asked, "'Lion' Tyke, a very famous robber on the edge of the Red Desert, is not strong in his own right, but he is very clever, and he has evaded three times against him......

Before Caterina could finish her sentence, Winder remembered the first beast he had met in the wasteland, and nodded in affirmation, "Hmm...... He couldn't make waves anymore. ”

Caterina didn't ask for details, but just reached out and removed the wanted warrant. Then, the next one was found, "Mechanical Sentinel." It is said to be a security robot before the disaster, but in time and space during the disaster, it has become a murderous killer......"

"Solved, it's a lot of fun with radioactive electric batons."

"The mimic rock, the body of which is unknown, is said to look like a huge rock on a regular basis, but creatures that accidentally approach it will always be."

"Uh...... It feels like a big hermit crab......"

"The Marshall family, the robbers entrenched in the area of giant pits and abandoned mines, the intelligence says that there are hundreds of people and more than a dozen cars......"

"They're gone!"

“……”

Caterina was very familiar with the surrounding situation, she speculated on Wende's walking route, found out the "bounties" that she might meet on the road, pointed to one, Wende nodded in the affirmative, and she casually removed the bounty portrait.

In this way, Carter actually accumulated as many as seven or eight portraits in his hands, and such a scene is not common outside the Hunters' Guild, probably only in legends.

Soon, a circle of hunters and staff gradually gathered around them, listening to Caterina's question, Winde nodded, and they couldn't help but take a breath.

After a while, when Carter asked one more, Winder finally gave a negative answer, "...... I haven't seen this before......"

This group of talents breathed out in unison.

But even so, the results are quite impressive.

Caterina raised an eyebrow, "It seems that those rumors didn't wronged you much." ”

Winder was also not modest, "Ah, there is no grass growing where I pass......"

Except for Carter, everyone else inevitably became curious about Winder.

Everyone present knew Katarina, but no one knew anything about him, and at this time, there was a lot of discussion at the bottom, "Who is this kid?" How could you do such an exaggerated thing? ”

"It's the one who was brought in by Lady Crimson yesterday." There is an immediate answer to the question of knowing.

"That's what ...... said."

"Shut up! If you don't want to live, don't implicate me! ”

“……”

In this discussion, Caterina walked to the counter in charge of the bounty with Wind, put the scroll on it, and asked, "All these amounts add up, Wende's level is enough to establish a hunting group." ”

The little girl in charge of this matter looked at the drawings, and after looking at Katarina, she almost cried out with a "wow", "Madam, don't embarrass me." Aren't all things like bounties all going to be evidence? ”
