Chapter 21: The Game of Finger Pricking

After a while, the recruit changed the subject and broke the silence: "The snow country you just mentioned is a good place, and I want to go on an adventure when I am discharged from the army, but unfortunately I don't have enough money." ”

"That's not easy, if you can catch these wanted criminals, you'll have money. A fierce-eyed soldier pulled out a crumpled piece of paper and spread it out on a small square table.

It was a wanted post,

Several people are drawn on it, divided into two lines, the first line only outlines a vague outline, and does not draw specific appearances.

The first of the horizontal rows is a thin humanoid with a reward of 10,000 gold coins.

The second is a normal humanoid with a reward of 10,000.

The third is a burly figure, and a reward of 10,000 is also offered.

The fourth was a hunchbacked man with a reward of 10,000 yuan, but he was given a red cross and was obviously caught.

The two people in the second row have busts, and their physiognomy is drawn more clearly.

The first one is a long-haired man with a pair of peach blossom eyes. A reward of 50,000 is offered.

The second is a long-haired girl with a grim expression and outstanding appearance. A reward of 500,000 was offered.

"See, a total of 580,000 gold coins will be offered, 580,000 yuan, enough for you to eat, drink and have fun for a lifetime, and you can leave a lot as an inheritance for your children and grandchildren. ”

Glancing at the wanted warrant with his peripheral vision, Kevin's three hearts sank.

Because the picture on the wanted notice is not someone else. It's a few of them. The hunchbacked man who was red-crossed on the wanted notice was a companion who died to cover their escape.

The second row of Roland and Qin have been drawn very similarly, if you take this wanted warrant and compare it, anyone can find Roland and Qin out of the crowd.

Fortunately, Roland cut her long hair, and Jean also disguised herself as a man, but Roland's peach blossom eyes were still so obvious, and Jean's plain clothes couldn't hide her youthful and girlish appearance.

Kevin, Carl, and Agas looked at each other silently, making eye contact.

And the Beiao soldiers around him did not notice the nervous expressions of Kevin and the others. It's ridiculous that the wanted criminal they were looking for was around, and they didn't find it.

Looking at this wanted notice, the soldiers of the North Austrian began to discuss.

"I heard that these people are all the guards of the Nord family, and the little girl below" Soldier Mark pointed to the portrait of Jean is the only living heir of the Nord family. ”

"What's more, it is said that the Nord family has a secret treasure hidden in it, but after the Nord family was destroyed, it disappeared, and it is very likely that it is in this little girl. ”

"It would be nice if I let my brothers meet, and I will never worry about eating and drinking again. The Fierce Eye Soldier said.

Beiao and his entourage turned pale.

"How can there be such a good thing, the whole country has been wanted for more than a month, and they still haven't been caught, they must have fled abroad a long time ago. ”

"And. Mark lowered his voice again: "The Nord family has produced many famous abilities, and this little girl. He pointed to Qin's portrait: "At a young age, he was offered a reward of 500,000 yuan, maybe he is a powerful character, and he is also a capable person." ”

He paused: "On the battlefield, we've all seen the methods of the capable, haven't we?"

Hearing this, all the soldiers fell silent, and this time there were no more boos.

They had indeed seen the methods of the capable on the battlefield, and in the great battle of North Osura three years ago, Mark's team of sixteen people was ambushed by the capable in the dark, and only two of them, including Mark, survived.

And there is only one person on the other side. That man is the one who is mighty.

The terrifying atmosphere in the darkness, the horror of his comrades dying one by one but being powerless to resist hit his heart again, and Mark shivered.

That experience became Mark's heart disease, and it was because of this that he gave up the opportunity to be promoted, decided to leave the army early, and went home to spend the rest of his life with the girl he loved.

The same is true of the other soldiers, who have seen in different battles the power of those who are far beyond ordinary people. In the hearts of ordinary people, the capable are already almost superhuman beings.

"With such an opponent, we have a few lives that are not enough to die. Forget it. Mark broke the silence.

The soldiers fell silent.

The three Kevin sat in the seats on the left side of the aisle, and the soldiers sat in the seats on the right. The two sides were silent and did not talk to each other.

The soldiers were at ease, while the three Kevin were fidgeting in their seats. The wanted warrants placed on the soldiers' small tables were like a steel nail pierced into their hearts, itching painfully.

"Why don't we play a game?" a soldier broke silent, and the offer was echoed by the other soldiers.

One soldier stood up, drew a short knife from his boot, and stabbed it on the table.

"Prick your fingers, whoever comes first. ”

The three of Kevin looked at each other, crying and laughing.

Finger pricking is a game in which both players close their eyes and take turns stabbing the dagger between their fingers, and the distance of the dagger blade from the back of the hand determines the winner.

It seems simple, but in fact, with your eyes closed, it is a test of courage and skill. In order to win, you need to stick as close to the back of your hand as possible between your fingers, and the closer you are to the back of your hand, the easier it is to hurt yourself.

This game is bloody and brutal, and in their hometown of North Olympics, it is very popular with the reckless people in the market. The three of Kevin also played a lot, and most of the time it ended up with Agas pricking his finger. Fortunately, he has rough skin and thick flesh, and he has extraordinary resilience.

The soldiers began to play a game of finger pricking.

There are 7 soldiers in total, and they can't be divided into two groups equally, so after playing for a while, the side with fewer people always loses, seeing Kevin and the three looking at this side, a soldier who has just lost the game beckons to everyone in Beiao:

"Would you like to come over and play?"

Kevin was about to refuse, but saw that Carl had already stood up: "Okay, I'll try." I've beaten the best of the town's masters, and I'm the best of the best......"

Carl has been wandering for many years and has a good deal with all kinds of people. The temperament of the market hooligans is not easy to be suspicious, so a few words shortened the distance with the soldiers and participated in the soldiers' game.

Carl beckoned, motioning for everyone to join in.

Kevin and Agas looked dazed. I don't know what Carl is going to do.

His group is a wanted criminal, sitting at a table with the soldiers and playing games, is Carl's brain in water?

But Carl has always been flexible and thoughtful, and although he is silent, both of them think that he must have an ulterior motive in doing so, and Kevin and Agas join them.

Kevin is in a group of three and two soldiers. The other party is also five people, and this time they are evenly matched.

Carl went first, rubbing his hands together and pretending to be nervous.

He pulled out his short knife "with difficulty" and closed his eyes with a nervous look on his face.

The knife went down and gently pierced far away from the finger.

Kevin and Agas looked at each other. The heart said Carl, what are you going to make trouble about?

The soldiers also let out a boo: "That's it? You're embarrassed to say you're a master." ”

Karl playfully pulled out the short knife again: "This time it doesn't count, this time it doesn't count." ”

Carl slashed again, but the tip of the knife still fell near where he had been.

The soldiers laughed.
