Text Chapter 2 The Demon Eye Blade
Ray has no memory, since waking up from an abandoned basement three years ago, digging out of the ruins and seeing this devastated world.
I don't have a clue what happened to me just now.
He briefly treated his wounds, pulled out a short knife from Gray Sedley, and walked in the direction of Merce.
Located on the border of the Principality of Faynan, the city of Mo is built on a mountain and is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It's not rich, there are no other natural resources to be extracted, only a water purification system that sustains thousands of people.
The details are the most prosperous part of the city, and almost all the transactions in the city are hit here.
Large and small workshops can basically meet the needs of daily life, guns and ammunition, cold weapons, tobacco and alcohol, and women are all in the ranks.
The detail tavern is actually the home of mercenary hunters, and there are many people coming in and out every day to hand over tasks, and of course there are pure drinkers.
Ray found a quiet corner and drank rum quietly, having been in Merge for more than a month, barely speaking to anyone except for a brief conversation with the tavern waiter, Nunn.
He saw the rejection in the eyes of others, and as an Oriental descent, he did not want to see him anywhere, perhaps in their eyes the Oriental people were insidious and untrustworthy.
The people gradually went into hiding, and the head of the hunter's house, Old Max, still did not appear, and complaints and curses began one after another.
People like to use vicious language to find dissatisfaction in their hearts, and it is precisely this that is a sign of weakness, and capable people generally speak with strength or bluntly with fists.
The small retro folding door of the tavern was pushed open, and a burly black man with a large box in his left hand and a heavy machine gun in his right hand squeezed in, really worried that the small door would not be squeezed.
Seeing the appearance of the black strong man, the noisy tavern became silent.
Old Max's crutches clattered against the wooden floor, and he was so depressed that he wanted to hit the hearts of everyone with a heavy hammer.
His eyes burned over the people who had been insulting the loudest just now, but they didn't dare to look at Old Max's gaze and lowered their heads.
"I like young people who know how to do things, because such people are generally lucky and don't die inexplicably in the wilderness. ā
The tepid words were a warning to everyone, and after the desired effect was achieved, Old Max did not pursue him again, believing that the little bunnies would become docile.
Despite his old age, he was one of Mogg's first five followers, and the glory of turning this wilderness into a city was something to be feared.
The rest of the exchange went according to plan, Ray was the last to redeem, and when he presented a fire python heart and three coyote tails, the other people's eyes became hot and jealous.
Old Max also looked a little surprised, he made an impression of the black-eyed and black-haired young man in front of him.
Because there was very little movement of people in the East in Mer, he remembered that Ray had registered at the Hunter's House a month earlier and mortgaged the worn-out pistol he had because of the lack of payment.
It is rare to hunt prey worth hardware coins on your own, and you must know that the Yan Python is a monster that is equivalent to a human being's two-order defense and two-order power explosion.
"Orientals always bring unexpected achievements to people, what is your name, young man?" Mr. Max actually asked Ray's name, and he had never even seen a black bodyguard who had been following him for many years.
"Thunder"
"Okay, I remember, then Ray you can exchange a total of five gold coins for goods, do you want money or weapons, as far as I know, you don't seem to have a self-defense firearm, if you want to exchange it for a new Gran pistol, this thing is not much less powerful than the old sand eagle, if you want me to send you fifteen bullets." "Max didn't realize that he was talking a little too much today.
"Thank you for the suggestion, Mr. Max, but I'd like to exchange it for money anyway. Ray politely rejected Max's suggestion and got his money and returned to his seat.
Old Max did not leave after collecting all the prey, but ordered a bottle of wine and slowly weighed it.
The old birds all know that under normal circumstances, he will issue a high-level mission, so everyone gathers around him and waits for the news to be released, hoping that he can reap the benefits of it.
"You all know that there is a Silent City stronghold in the Fallen Plains, right?Last night, the stronghold was attacked, and all the garrison personnel were killed, including Captain Nordin, who has a third-order defense and a second-order assassination mastery. ā
As soon as Max's words fell, everyone was amazed, this hot potato was not something they could take over.
"Even the third-order squad leader is not an opponent, no matter how many of us go, we will be sent to death. "Someone in the crowd said.
"Yes, unless the Praetorian Guard sends someone to lead us in a search. "That's it, it'sā" echoed the voices that grew louder.
"A bunch of soft eggs! I hope your city is already finished!" a rough voice came from outside the door, and the door was kicked open with a kick.
Coming in was a young white man who looked only a few years older than Ray and had a short beard that matched his rugged voice.
Lei saw that the giant sword on his shoulder was carrying a cloth bag dripping with blood, and his nose was very sensitive, and he knew that it was human blood when he smelled it.
None of the others in the tavern had seen him, and they were extremely unhappy with his tone.
He dropped the greatsword and Barrett heavy sniper rifle on his shoulder, went straight to sit down across from Max, picked up a glass full of wine, and drank it all.
"Thanks, full. ā
In the face of his rude behavior, Max behaved very mildly, without any sense of anger.
The others finally couldn't help but be annoyed.
"Who the are you?!, so rude to Mr. Max!"
It was the same burly man who spoke, he was the most violent when he scolded Old Max just now, and now he cleverly seized the opportunity to repair the relationship with Max.
"Yo, old man, someone stood up for you, I didn't expect that no one knew me after I left here for two years, and everyone else died in the wilderness?"
Old Max smiled, apparently the two knew each other.
"Wait for a tap. Max replied to the question, not knowing who to tell.
The man who stood for him thought he was allowed to swing his fist and smash it at the head of the rude guy.
"Bang" sounded, and everyone didn't react, but the man who did it flew out of the tavern, fell a dog and ate, and didn't get up on the ground for a long time, yo yo barking.
Ray could see that he slapped the man with great speed, and he couldn't avoid such a fast attack.
"He's the Demon Eye Crazy Knife Nock, you better not provoke him in the future. Max seemed to admonish the others.
"Shouldn't you put the captain in Kama City, I'm afraid that some trouble has happened and you have fled here, right?" asked Mestinok, pouring him a glass of wine.
Nock drank it all again and said, "Ah, this wine is so good, it would be perfect if there was a cigarette." ā
Max handed him a cigarette and lit it for him.
Nock puffed out the smoke comfortably and said, "It's not a big deal, just cut off the son of a little nobleman, this kind of bullying men and women dog thing is dead and in vain, his father offered a high reward of 200 gold coins to buy my head After thinking about it, I still think that Mocheng is suitable, no, how wonderful it is to drink and smoke when I just arrived." ā
Nock didn't hide his wanted identity in the slightest, and he was confident that no one would dare to attack him.
"You can really cause trouble, I remember that you were only worth 30 gold coins last time, I guess you advanced again, right?"
Nock smiled and didn't answer Max's question, pointed to the package on the ground and said, "I also brought that bastard's head, see if you can exchange some money, a gold coin is fine, I'm a poor jingle now." ā
Max shook his head and said, "He's not worth much, the wine and cigarettes you drank just now are your payment, but I have a task in my hand that you heard just now, you can consider it." ā
Nock angrily kicked the package to the man who fell to the ground and said, "It's really bad luck, I knew this thing was worthless, I left it out to feed the wolves." Go dig a pit and bury him!"
The strong man was shouted by him, and he didn't dare to call anymore, so he immediately got up, picked up the package, and walked away.
"I've taken this task, can you provide some convenience, such as lending me some money or something. ā
"You must know that a merchant does not buy and sell at a loss, and if you are unlucky and die in the wilderness, I will lose a lot. However, I'll introduce a partner to you to compare, I'm afraid you won't be able to complete this task alone, and the various forces in the Fallen Plains are entrenched, and there is someone to take care of it, so it's safer to say anything. ā
Nock was a little surprised, he knew that Old Max was a person, and ordinary people would not pay attention to him, and his ability to be recommended by him should not be weak.
"Oh, who is it?"
Old Max set his eyes on Ray in the corner.
"It's not fair, why didn't we choose us if we stayed in Merce for so long. "There were protests, and after seeing the strength of Nock, everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie.
"The reason is simple, he is richer than all of you. Max said coldly.
Everyone knows that in the current world, ability is directly proportional to money.
Nock took his glass and sat down across from Ray, cheekily said, "Hey, young man, give me a chance." ā
After speaking, he picked up the wine bottle and poured it.
Ray noticed the hot eyes of the people around him, and he was very uncomfortable.
"You bastards, get out of the way!" Nock shouted back at Ray's uneasiness.
The others were frightened by Nock's sudden shouting.
Ray knew that he wouldn't be able to get along here, and he didn't want to be shot cold in the wilderness for no reason.
"I don't want to participate in everything you said, I just want to live my own life, I will give you this money, I hope you don't bother me in the future. ā
Ray's words made everyone's jaws drop, although Nock's invitation was dangerous, but the reward was also very tempting, at least after completing this single task, life would be worry-free.
Nock was not polite, scooped up the gold coins on the table and put them in his pocket, then put his arms around Ray's shoulders and said, "My partner is not so easy to give up, wait for me at the city gate tomorrow morning, or if you win, I will set you free." ā
Ray was so angry by Nock's words that he couldn't cry or laugh, it was obvious that he wanted to pull himself into the gang by force, and immediately got up and left the tavern angrily.
Nock tossed the gold coin in his hand and re-made it to the opposite side of Max.
"This young man is indeed interesting, why do you recommend him?" Nock knew old Max's vision, and with his natural insight, he saw that Ray was unusual.
"Because I can't see through his talents, which I've never met before, and my gut tells me he can help you. Max said, taking a sip of his wine.
Nock was secretly surprised, even Old Max couldn't understand Ray's ability, there were only two possibilities, either he was an ordinary person with no ability, or he was a genius with excellent talent, and I believe that the latter was more likely.
"Are you sure he'll be coming tomorrow? ā
"He can't go, I have this, hehe..." Nock smiled and dropped the pass he touched from Ray's pocket, "Don't mention him, we haven't seen each other for a long time, this wine, it's so good hahaha." ā
