"Mipa!"

"Mipa!"

"Mipa!"

“.......”

At Hill's grocery store in the business district, there are constant reminders of small noises. Once in a while, the sound stops instantly, and two identical faces emerge from behind the counter.

After waiting for someone to leave, they will go back under the counter and:

"Mipa!"

"Yaopa!"

"Mipa!"

“.......”

Time passed quietly, from the bright sun in the early morning, to the hot sun at noon, to the afterglow of the sunset in the afternoon, the voices in the grocery store went from very standard at first to strange in tone at the end, until—

"Oh my God!"

The younger brother of the Hill brothers collapsed to the ground, looking helpless: "Why is the spell so difficult!"

"What kind of band can be released successfully!"

"I feel like I'm going to die, big brother, and I'm going to be the first mage apprentice in history to be tortured to death by a water balloon spell!"

"Hell, there are always people who come here to buy things, and they're annoyed! Elder Delan really has a blind idea, why do you have to open a shop when you hide your whereabouts? It's okay to find a house to live in without showing up, anyway, those merchants have very smart noses, and they can always find us. ”

"I want to go back to the island, big brother, what about you?"

“........”

There was no response, and the other apprentice was now looking intently at the magic book in his hand, looking very attentive.

Seeing this, the younger brother patted his brother's arm dissatisfied, and shouted: "You can't rest for a while, you can't watch this or recite a spell all day long, aren't you annoyed?"

The elder brother glanced at him and ignored him.

My brother was muttering alone.

"But there's nothing to do here, except for chanting spells and reading books, fortunately we can go back to the island in a month, hey, I hope the next wave of juniors won't get bored with this." ”

As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly think of something: "By the way, I remember that an aunt came here in the morning to sell some newspapers, and what about newspapers? Thanks to the goddess of magic, I can finally get rid of books and spells!"

Looking at his younger brother who was rummaging around excitedly, his brother Man Hill rolled his eyes helplessly.

He still remembers the events of the morning vividly, the aunt named Ma Shan is really difficult, I didn't want to pay attention to this kind of door-to-door sales, who knew that she would not leave until the two brothers were helpless and bought a newspaper.

Thinking of the aunt's face that did not change because of the cynicism, he rarely held back a few words: "It's terrible." ”

Man Hill naturally didn't know that those "salesmen" were trained by Alan based on the sales methods of countless salesmen who sold houses, insurance, and shoe polish in his previous life, although they were very tender compared to those in his previous life, but it was completely enough to deal with a thin-skinned mage like him.

Just as Mann was distracted by the recollection, the shouts of his younger brother Chi Hill came from the backyard of the grocery store: "Ha, I found it!"

Then, like a gust of wind, the excited brother came running with a wad of paper full of handwriting.

There was an empty space under the counter, a rectangular space where the Hill brothers could "hide", and they were always here to read, chant mantras, and visit the shop.

The broken-mouthed Chi Hill cried out and wilted across from his brother, then picked up the newspaper and read it, reading as he went.

"Lord Alan Chrissy was assassinated at the inauguration, someone from Reef City is investigating the matter, and City Defense Officer Carter is arrested for his involvement in the assassination?"

"Haha, that brown-haired bastard will have today, if I hadn't learned water polo skills, I would have trained him a long time ago!"

"Huh? There's a portrait here, Alan Chrissy, the new lord, and it looks familiar. ”

Shaking his head, his brother Man Hill had long been accustomed to his brother's startled look.

"Carter confessed that the assassination of the lord in the dungeon was planned by a group of pirates known as the Black Hand Pirates, and the new sheriff, Barry Velon, decided to go on a rampage to eliminate the pirates' presence in Bay City and offer a bounty..."

"Ten gold coins for each person, 100 for the leader, I remember more than 200 pirate groups, good fellows, the new lord is really rich!"

The elder brother, Man Hill, pointed to the newspaper and said, "You should pay attention to the latter sentence." ”

Because of his brother's constant shouting, he couldn't read at ease, so he simply followed along to look at this novelty called a newspaper.

"The latter paragraph?" Qi looked back and read, "Those who have lost their way can exchange the heads of the pirate members for twenty gold coins, and Lord Alan Chrissy vouches for his family's reputation, and he does what he says." ”

At the end of the reading, Qi's tone could not hide his envy: "Twenty gold coins, how much can those dock porters earn in a year? Two or three? Are the nobles so rich? I also have so much money, if I encounter the enemy, I will kill them with money!"

The elder brother nodded in agreement, but he admired the lord's methods even more.

There is not only a black hand pirate on the sea, the black hand is just one of the stronger ones, as long as the news reaches the sea, a person has ten gold coins for the head, and they are difficult to ensure that they will become the target of public criticism.

And the fact that people in the Black Hand can get twenty coins for killing their accomplices makes it even more possible for a split within the Black Hand Pirate Group.

"If I were one of those pirates, I would have to run away from the limelight now. Man Hill studied secretly.

Whether the Black Hand Pirate Regiment can run away in the surrounding peeping situation is two words, even if it does, there will be countless hidden dangers in the group because of those twenty gold coins, not to mention the trouble of finding a new lord.

And what about the new lord's side, although a huge bounty is offered, it is estimated that the future expenditure will not be very large.

Although money may attract countless sieges, Man Hill has been in contact with each other, and he feels that the Black Hand Pirate Group will not be easily dispersed, but in the face of this situation, they will definitely disappear for a while.

If there is internal turmoil among them, the turmoil on the sea is not like the land, and it is possible that the entire army will be wiped out, and if the leader of the black hand pirates is clever and his subordinates are not in turmoil, then naturally there will be no one to receive gold coins.

Man Hill was in a state of mind here, but Odd Hill didn't think so much about it, but continued to read:

"Reporting crime for huge profits, little Corey from the slums is known as the chief bounty hunter..."

"When it comes to it, half a pound of wheat will still be given to everyone's homes one after another," said the awakened lord. ”

The lord issued a tough stance against tax evasion, punished harshly, and warned the citizens not to take risks for it. ”

"Seagull Newspaper recruits reporters, editors, editors-in-chief and other positions, and the requirements are as follows..."

"City Hall is recruiting for the following:

Public security and urban defense personnel are required to be in good health and have no criminal record

Civilian personnel, with a clear mind, are required to be literate and hyphenated

Recruit neighborhood committee personnel, ask for locals, lively personality, and have a wide range of contacts...."

Qi couldn't read it anymore, he now had countless questions that he couldn't understand, so he scratched his head and looked at his eldest brother: "What is the city hall? What is the neighborhood committee? And the bounty hunter? recruitment?"

Man said absentmindedly: "Maybe it's a kind of management organization." ”

He only answered his brother's first question, and ignored the rest of the question.

At this point, he was staring intently at a piece of news written in the corner of the newspaper.

"In the face of the fish-man invasion in the near future, Lord Alan Chrissy decided to hire reef city mercenaries to participate in the resistance against the fish-men, and local mercenaries can also sign up, and ordinary fish-men will be rewarded with ten silver coins, and the boss and above.....

Registration start date: July 30, 137 Ephemeris almanac. ”

July 30th?

Isn't that three days away?

Man Hill had the urge to sign up at this point.

Ten silver coins is too little compared to the pirate bounty. But unlike the illusory pirate bounties, the Fish-Man is a visible profit.

When they were on the island, their apprentices didn't hunt fishmen, and although those monsters had a certain IQ, they were basically not difficult to deal with.

Except for being able to shoot water arrows, he is not even as good as a farmer in other aspects!

"Ten silver coins for a fishman, with my understanding of the fishman, how can I kill more than ten coins in a day, that is, I can harvest more than one gold coin every day?"

"Compared to us mage apprentices who can't cast spells yet, those mercenaries will only kill fishmen faster..."

Man Hill was now shocked by the trenches of Allen, the new lord of Bay City.

You must know that the fish-man invasion is carried out under the influence of the starry light, which is continuous and huge, and the star-man light will last for a month!

"How much gold does this cost?"
