Chapter 53: Sam
Bay City, which had just regained its calm, fell into chaos again because of an order from Allen.
Countless soldiers went door-to-door to inform a wanted warrant, and an ugly man named Adam quickly became known to all the residents of Bay City.
for he was worth fifty gold coins.
Whoever catches him in Bay City or knows his location will receive a bounty of 50 gold coins!
This made countless residents of the city very excited, they were like cats that smelled fish, and they couldn't wait to turn into detectives one by one, and follow all kinds of clues to find the valuable target.
At the same time, Luo Wen, as the honorary chairman of the Bay City Neighborhood Committee, convened the leaders of various groups in the city and made a report.
"If there is a stranger who appears within half a month, you must pay close attention, and if you are renting a citizen's home, you must register it to avoid unnecessary danger. ”
For this circular, the various group leaders of the neighborhood committee attach great importance to it, not to mention how the two words of danger in the circular are reminiscent, let's just say that the simple implementation of the rights of the group leader has made these citizens who were just ordinary aunts and uncles very passionate.
The leaders of the neighborhood committee were not paid much each month, only one or two silver coins, but they were given the right to manage their neighbors by Allen.
That's the point, I've been an ordinary person since I was a child, and suddenly one day I became the head of the surrounding neighborhood, and this change is simply earth-shaking for these people.
The taste of being in power is fascinating, so they are very passionate and attach great importance to the tasks assigned by them.
Basically, after returning from the meeting, each group leader immediately walked the streets and alleys and began to work spontaneously.
Official, civilian, and various forces continue to exert their efforts, and the information of a secret person in Bay City is continuously transmitted to Allen's desk, but the Roland person who calls himself Adam seems to have really left, and no trace has been exposed.
This gave Alan a bit of a headache.
Except for the soldiers on the city walls and the mercenaries outside the city, he has basically mobilized all the other forces of Bay City, but still can't find a single outsider?
"It's tough. ”
Rubbing his forehead, Alan felt a headache.
Flipping through the information of suspicious people in the city, there was a sudden pause in his hand, and the information of a pastry chef named Sam caught his attention.
After looking carefully for a long time, Allen's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Interesting. ”
Sam's Bakery is located on a remote street in the business district, close to the bustling Tavern Street, but like a shadow in the sun, the bustle of Tavern Street has not spread here, the street is quiet and the store is deserted.
However, this does not affect the bakery's business, in fact, like its neighbor brewery, the customer base is stable, and many taverns on the street choose to order bread here.
Neighbor Cologne said half-jokingly, half-seriously: "I thank those pimps countless times a day, without them I wouldn't be able to run a brewery." ”
Chubby Sam nodded approvingly, looking in the direction of Tavern Street and grinning.
The Tavern Street in Bay City does not rely on the business of alcohol or catering, so the tavern owners generally do not put much effort into these two aspects, but if they do not invest, the wine or food they make will be difficult to eat, so the shops that specialize in serving wine and food in Tavern Street came into being.
Sam's bakery and Cologne's brewery are among them.
Or rather, it's better.
Usually, because there are more orders, the two of them are very busy every day, but since the fish-man invasion began, the mercenaries in the city have gone outside the city to make a lot of money, and the business of the tavern has been a lot colder, and naturally, their ancillary industries have also been affected.
"I wish those damn fishmen were out soon!"
Cologne cursed under his breath and spat on the ground in hatred: "I'm tired of their fishy smell, fuck, they smell so big, it's all coming to the city!"
Sam scratched his head and habitually smirked, "Doesn't it happen every year?" ”
Seeing Sam scratching his head, Cologne also touched his head, but just touched his bald head, he sighed inexplicably: "Yes, every year like this, the hair is getting less and less." ”
"I wish I could go up to the wall with those boys, but unfortunately, I can't pull my bow and arrows. ”
Sam casually continued, "Isn't that good." ”
"What a fart"
Cologne snorted: "My mother-in-law dislikes my physical strength, if the fishman really rushes in, I don't even have the strength to escape." ”
Sam grinned, "Probably not, Lord Allen is well prepared." ”
Cologne nodded and shook his head again: "Our lord is indeed good, but it's a pity that his money was used in the wrong place. Those mercenaries can't be counted on at all, they are not locals, they only care about his gold coins, and they don't care about our lives or deaths. ”
"If you want me to say, it's better to spend the money on buying weapons, Bay City has one and all of them go to kill fishmen, which is much more reliable than the mercenaries. ”
"But it's the lord's own gold coins, and I don't care how he spends them. ”
Cologne chattered, as if he suddenly remembered something: "Alas, don't you usually call the lord and the young master? Why are you now divided? Or did you go to recognize the door, but people ignored you?"
"Haha, I'll just say that you want to cling to the lord is not reliable at all, and you also said that you once did something in the Reef City Lord's house, so I deceived your wife..."
An unnatural look flashed across Sam's face, then he smiled innocently and didn't respond.
Cologne didn't care about this, he just mentioned it casually, and Sam was naturally skipped by him without picking up.
"Anyway, our lord is generous, but the rules are inexplicable, you say, let the old woman Mamado be the group leader, it's unbearable, she is so broken-mouthed, and she always goes to other people's houses at night, staying for most of the day, and doesn't care whether people eat dinner or not. ”
"I get angry when I think of this, there are no strangers in our family, and I also know the lord's wanted, the old woman simply has nothing to say, chattering until the middle of the night, my memory is not as bad as hers, I can remember it once I say it, what's the use of saying it so many times? By the time my wife saw her off, I was in no mood to eat. ”
"But 50 gold coins is indeed a huge amount of money, and the bastards in the city have been like crazy lately because of this, and they are always running around when they are not doing business, and they might as well go outside the city and kill a few fishmen if they have that energy. ”
"Speaking of which, we should be busy for a while after the fish-man is gone, Sam, don't forget to prepare early, otherwise you will make a lot less money if you delay...."
As he spoke, for some reason, Cologne's voice became quieter and quieter, and finally he was completely silent, his mouth was tightly closed, and his eyes were a little dumbfounded when he looked behind Sam.
Sam noticed his strange appearance, chuckled inwardly, and slowly turned his head to look.
In the sun, a well-dressed young nobleman was standing quietly in the shade of a tree not far from their shop, smiling at the two people in front of the shop.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's the lord, right?"
Cologne rubbed his eyes, a little incredulous of what he was seeing.
Hell, why did the lord who was busy with official business suddenly come here? Could it be that he heard the chatter about him just now?
Cologne was a bit of a thief, he patted Sam on his side to say something to alleviate the current "embarrassing" situation, but patted Sam's chubby body, he felt a little stiff.
"Huh, Sam, what's wrong with you?"
Cologne is a little strange, usually Sam's body is soft, what happened today?
Is it because of nervousness?
But didn't he say that he had served the lord before, and he should have met before, so why was he nervous?
Cologne wondered, but Sam didn't pay attention to him, or didn't have time to pay attention, because the young nobleman not far away was looking at him with a smile on his face, and his smile was a little panicked.
