Chapter 162 - Bounty
Chapter 162 - Bounty
As soon as you walk into the tavern, you are greeted by a hot and dry breath, all kinds of good or bad smells rush into the nostrils, converging into an indescribable smell, and the ears are full of the sound of pushing glasses, the sound of tableware colliding, the call of "boss has another hoof tendon", the sound of the old men talking, the screams of the waitresses, the obscene laughter, and the sound of slaps.

As soon as Tang Yuan walked in, the people who were close to the door of the tavern glanced at him reflexively, and then turned around and continued to drink and fart.
He squeezed through the dense crowd of people standing or sitting, during which he accidentally touched the buttocks of the waiter's little sister, was slapped back, and went straight to the counter, and then the bearded uncle who didn't know whether it was the boss or the bartender came over to the counter.
Tang Yuan smiled first, pointed to the blonde waiter's little sister and said, "That girl is good, hey." ”
So Uncle Huhu made a statement with a straight face, as if reading a textbook, and I don't know how many times he had said it: "She's just a waiter, don't think too much." ”
"It's because you're thinking too much...... Tang Yuan replied, "Mead, just take a barrel, if you don't have it, you can just beer, do you have squid here?" ”
"Squid is only fresh in coastal cities, and only dried squid is available here."
"Forget it, let's have a steak, you can do it when it's mature, recommend it."
"Okay, kegs of mead and a steak, five silver coins."
He counted five silver coins out of his pocket, lined them up on the counter, grabbed five silver coins from his beard and checked them in his hand, nodded, turned around and yelled into the large curtain behind him: "A steak, half-cooked!" Then he took out a small wooden bucket from under the counter and brought out a plate of chopped jerky.
"If you spend more than one silver coin, you can drink it first."
"Oh."
Tang Yuan looked back at the whole tavern, and saw that there was no place to sit down in the crowd, and saw that there was a row of chairs nailed to the ground in front of the long counter, and there were already several people seated, so he sat directly opposite the beard not far away, and knocked on the counter at him: "I'll just sit here." ”
The bearded man nodded, ignoring him, but stood behind the counter with his hands in his hands, his hands on the countertop, motionless, looking like a statue.
After drinking some wine, Tang Yuan estimated that the steak should be about the same for a while, and sure enough, at this time, the bearded man walked over with a steak the size of two palms and put it in front of him, and there were two table knives on both sides of the plate - I heard that the fork will only be sent to you when you eat chopped vegetable leaves (salad), otherwise there are only two table knives, it seems that there are also left-handed knives and right-handed knives, generally speaking, the right-handed knife is sharper, and if you have a little experience in eating Western food, it is not very difficult to master the use of two table knives, So he didn't show anything out of the ordinary.
The steak tastes decent and even better if it weren't topped with a layer of cream jam...... Otherworldly people are really weird.
After disposing of most of the steak, Tang Yuan slowly put down the knife, and was about to ask the bearded man when he saw the guy looking at him with an indescribable expression, so he was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The bearded man said quietly, "I haven't seen a guy like you in a long time...... Those rough people all ate directly with a knife, as if they wanted to show how good their knife skills were and how bold they were. ”
"Oh, this? It's just a habit, and it's not through these ways to express yourself, don't you say? Tang Yuan smiled, "It's the first time I've been here in Emir City, wouldn't so many adventurers piling up together pose any threat to public security?" ”
The bearded man understood that this guy wanted to ask for some information, but since he had already made a purchase, he usually asked these guys casually, so he also leaned over: "For example? ”
Tang Yuan continued: "For example, the guy who doesn't have long eyes offended the head snake or something...... Are there any more influential gangs or clans here? I may need help from this force for something. ”
"There are no gangs, if I have to say it, there is a branch of the Bounty Hunter Guild in this place, but it has no influence." The bearded man said, "If you want to talk about the family, it's just a Gruwal family, there used to be a Sejka family, but they moved a few years ago and completely gave up the property of Emir City - if you really want to say it, Sejka's strength is much stronger than Gruvor, but their business slowly moved to the imperial capital a long time ago, so in the end, they directly gave up the origin of Emir City and moved to the imperial capital...... Maybe it's because successive generations of patriarchs have been relatively mild, anyway, now that the Gruwal family is the actual administrator of Emir City, the city lord sometimes has to look at Iznia's face. ”
"Oooh...... Is that Iznia the patriarch of this generation of Gruvor? Or is it the head of the house? Tang Yuan blinked, "When I came here, I also heard some rumors, saying that the two sons of Iznia were attacked by a large group of demonic beasts while hunting a while ago...... This might be a bit of a blow to Gruwal, right? ”
The bearded man popped out without thinking about it: "Don't talk about chickens...... Ahem! I mean, the impact is almost none, because the family business is still in the hands of Iznia, and their family seems to have been waiting until the heir takes over the position of patriarch, and I really don't know why such a family hasn't collapsed. ”
"Okay, I see, but families and gangs are different...... If I want to ask for help, the gang should be more talkative and just get paid to do things...... What about the Bounty Hunters Guild? Tang Yuan asked again.
"The branch leader is very good, but he doesn't like to entangle with people from other forces, so the guild branch has no sense of existence." "But occasionally there are some adventurers who go to that place to see the bounty or something, and it won't be close to the point, and if you really want to ask someone for help, you might want to go there and give it a try." ”
"Well, thanks." So Tang Yuan finished eating the steak in a few clicks, picked up the barrel and drank most of the remaining half of the barrel of wine (there was a cheer around), wiped his mouth and walked out of the tavern, found a pedestrian and asked where the branch of the Bounty Hunters Guild was, and then walked directly over there.
Speaking of bounty hunters, in the earliest days, this was just a profession that hunted down fugitives and sent them to the law and order in exchange for a bounty (in reality, it usually appeared in the western United States), and the bounty hunters in this world seemed to help with other things in addition to paying attention to those wanted notices, and as the number of bounty hunters increased, eventually, the guild was formed, and since then, the handover of bounties has become more formatted and efficient.
In those novels, the so-called "mercenaries" are simply misinterpreted, and the real mercenaries are actually mercenaries, so they will not take on those ridiculous tasks of finding people and collecting materials, their goal is always small-scale or even large-scale wars, and there will be no "mercenary union".
So when Tang Yuan walked into the dilapidated building, the first thing he saw was all kinds of wanted notices of all sizes plastered all over a wall...... The drawings on it are all sketches of the upper body of some people, maybe the humans of this world have mastered a certain degree of printing technology, otherwise just drawing can exhaust people to death.
Tang Yuan found the little girl at the counter and asked, "Driver, a while ago, a woman left here with a flower cat and a parrot, she should be a local resident, and she may have luggage on her...... Do you have any news here? ”
The little girl at the counter had a textbook-like smile on her face, bowed slightly, and said, "You're talking about Ryan Amber, right?" She has already been put on a private bounty. ”
"Okay, I'll look for a wanted warrant, thanks." Tang Yuan thanked him and returned to the wall covered with headshots, and began to search for the name "Ryan Amber".
Got a private bounty? Hehe, needless to say, it must have been done by the Gruwal family, saying that it was a private person, but in fact, this may be more important than the city lord's wanted warrant in Emir City.
Sure enough, Tang Yuan looked for it and soon saw a relatively new wanted notice, on which a woman with medium and long hair was drawn, although the portrait was black and white, but the pair of slightly pointed ears were noticed by him.
"Amber Flower" is such a strange surname, and the ears are a bit pointed...... Is it an elf? It's not right, Tang Yuan has seen tree elves before, it seems that the elven clan's ears are longer than this, could it be a hybrid of elves?
Well, at least it must have elf blood, and it looks pretty good, and it's no wonder that guy Kayas would say that he wants to his own little sister, this little sister Ryan is indeed a beauty.
Tang Yuan looked at the numbers below again--yo! 1,000 gold coins! If you calculate the purchasing power on this continent, it is almost hundreds of thousands of RMB, and the old man in Iznia really wants to give an explanation to his son's spirit in the sky.
And it was actually Kayas's doing...... It's impossible for Iznia to know, which means that this old guy really threw out a thousand gold coins to buy Miss Ryan's head just to vent his anger, and he was really a local tyrant, and he didn't take money seriously, and he didn't take human life seriously.
"It's kind of interesting...... Oh? There is still a briefing? Last seen in Beast Bone Town in the Southwest Mountains? Tang Yuan felt that Kaias's adventure was not over...... You see, this Gruwal family is really a bit capable, everyone has already run softly, and they can still find the last place to appear, and the southwest mountain range is in the southwest of the continent, and the Arakham mountain range is in the northeast of the continent, which is basically across the continent, which can also be found!? Talent, what a talent!
