"Good news?" said Tarrant, leaning on his desk boredly, looking out the window at the night sky.

As the Wensley case progressed, the sheriff found the victims where they were and began to send them back. ”

"Good news indeed, I hope they all come home safe and sound", Tarrant couldn't help but yawn when it got dark, maybe the stalker would come looking for him.

"The sheriff told me a message that the victims had been reported missing, and that their families had put up a bounty to find their whereabouts, and that you had now completed those tasks. ”

Tarrant understood what Stewart meant, and he inadvertently completed the bounty, "There is no need for that, I will not go to collect the bounty, this is the duty of the Light of Protection." ”

"I'm glad you think so, the virtues of the paladins are embodied in you," Stewart smiled with relief, "Also, at noon, a few guests came, and they brought you some bounties on behalf of the Empire in recognition of your righteous deeds, a total of ...... Eleven thousand gold coins. ”

"What?!" Tarrant seemed to wake up, a number he never dared to dream of, "Will Serenso be so generous?"

"Let me think about it, 5,000 gold for the Iberon Empire, 2,000 gold for the Moro Empire, 2,000 gold for the Gonzhas Empire, and 2,000 gold for the Serenzo Empire. ”

"Iberon is such a generous country, I'm starting to like it", Tarrant, although he didn't think money was important, was still a little excited when faced with such a large amount of gold.

"The Imperial Emissary of Iberon also affirms that you will be the most popular adventurer in Iberon, and that if you go to them, you will be received with the highest treatment. ”

"Wait until you have a chance. "Located at the easternmost point of the Redstone Continent, on the edge of the sea, a few months from Serenso, the Iberon Empire is known for its huge libraries and the best magic research institutes, and of course, the Iberoon Royal Guard, the most attractive guard in the continent. In Iberoan, high mages and veteran adventurers alike are warmly welcomed by the populace, as a large part of their kingdom is occupied by barren land, breeding for all kinds of strange beasts and monsters, a suitable place for the birth of legends. They rewarded Tarrant with 5,000 gold coins, which was undoubtedly a sign of goodwill, hoping that Tarrant would become one of them.

"What are you going to do with the gold?" Stewart stared at Tarrant very seriously, as if he had something to say.

"What do you think?"

"After the old man left, I have been taking care of this house by myself, and I am getting older and older, and I don't have the energy to do a lot of things, I think I need a helper here, the garden, the facades, and the ceiling, all need to be renovated. ”

The garden, the exterior walls, and the ceiling, Tarrant felt that there was nothing wrong with these, they were all in order under the old butler's cooking, maybe Tarrant's requirements were too low, he respected Stewart's decision, "You're right, you should take this opportunity to renovate it well, hire a few more servants, is 2000 gold enough?"

"Hiring a gardener, two maids, and a repairman doesn't cost you 100 gold a year. ”

"That's it, 2,000 gold coins are put there for you, the expenses and commissions of the family, and your commissions, how many years do I owe you?" Tarrant laughed amusefully, "It's worth hiring the best butler in Siant, paying 2,000 gold coins." ”

"Young Master, if you hadn't taken me in, I wouldn't know where I could go now. ”

Stewart rarely called Tarrant a young master, but at this moment, he felt that it was necessary, and Tarrant was gradually growing.

"It's up to you to take care of the house, and it's time to give this old house a new lease of life. ”

"Then what are you going to ......do with the rest of the gold coupons?"

"Well...... Give it to me", 9000 gold coins, plus 700 gold coins in your pocket, you can get a better outfit.

The old butler took out a stack of gold coupons from his pocket and handed them to Tarrant, "If it's okay, I'll go down and rest, it's been a busy day today, and the lord was the same when he was the most famous, and a dozen or so servants in the family couldn't keep busy." ”

"Okay, pay attention to your body", Tarrant looked at Stewart's scurrying steps, he was really tired.

After the butler went down, Tarrant collected the gold voucher and could go to the faith tomorrow. He suddenly thought of a way to suggest to the Stalker, he opened the window, and opened it at night, and the contact should be able to understand.

As the minutes ticked by, Tarrant stared at the clock on the wall, the pendulum swaying tirelessly from side to side, "tick", "tick", and under the effect of the pendulum, he slowly closed his eyelids.

Until a voice sounded: "Knight, it seems that you have a clue." ”

Tarrant was half-asleep, startled by the sudden sound and almost fell off his chair, the stalker came, Tarrant slapped his face with both hands, and regained his spirit slightly, "Yes." ”

"Oh, it's fast," the stalker was skeptical.

"The bystander you are looking for is in the hands of a thief, and his name is the Feather Angel. ”

"Feather Angel?I know the name, he's just stealing money, what proof do you have?"

"I saw the feathered angel and the bystander above his head. ”

"Are you sure? No one has ever seen a feathered angel. "The Stalker's meaning is clearly to imply that even if Tarrant planted the Feathered Angel, no one would be able to verify the authenticity.

"Paladin's morality is not something that bed bugs have the right to doubt!" Tarrant raised his voice, he didn't have a good impression of Falcon.

Stalker was shocked by Tarrant, and after a few seconds continued, "Well, even if it's with the Feathered Angel, why don't you take it." ”

"First, you only let me find the clues of bystanders, which is the most direct clue, and second, I don't have the ability to catch the Feathered Angel. ”

"Siant's hero isn't the opponent of the Feathered Angel either?" the Stalker was surprised, and immediately, he thought that the Feathered Angel had committed dozens of crimes and no one could catch him, and in common sense, he acquiesced to this fact.

"I have completed the proof you have requested, when will I see Astin. ”

"You found a bystander in two days, and it is true that you proved your wisdom, but in the face of Patlik, wisdom alone is not enough, you need other proof. ”

"What!" Tarrant stood up and slapped the table hard, the falcon might be playing with him, using him as a tool.

"Don't worry, this proof is simple, just get a winner's badge. ”

"What's that?"

"There's a tavern in the docklands called 'Pirates', and there's an underground boxing tournament in it, so win the fight and get the 'Pirate Badge', it's as simple as that. ”

"Why should I do this?"

"Prove your prowess, the battle with Patrick is about to break out, and we need you to do it. The stalker walked to the window, "Farewell." ”

The war within the falcon, Tarrant is very hesitant, he is chasing the spirit sucking monster, if this clue is wrong, it is not a small risk for him to be involved in the conspiracy of the largest assassination group for no reason, but there is no other entry point at the moment.

It was only a try, and Tarrant put on his armor.

Nine p.m., Docklands.

The earliest prosperity of Siant began with the dock area, which is a key connection point, connecting many important strongholds of empires in the continent, and a large number of strategic materials pass through here every day, which also means that there are a lot of opportunities to make money here, which is destined to be a very complex place, entrenched in various forces. The security situation in the docklands is very poor, taverns, prostitutes, sailors, thieves, and the security forces will stop patrolling the docks at night, otherwise their own safety will not be guaranteed.

Tarrant quickly found the Pirate Tavern, a two-story building near the waterfront in the docklands, with a small façade, and when he entered, it was full of people, and from their clothing, most of them were sailors, with rough skin, strong arms, and the marks of wind and rain on their faces, and they liked to speak loudly, and poured whole glasses of liquor down their throats round after round until they spent all their money.

The seats in the bar were filled with sailors, except for one in the corner of the bar, and Tarrant walked over, "A glass of Rontena!" he had to shout loudly, or the waiters wouldn't hear it.

A sailor next to him snorted contemptuously, he looked at Tarrant, and said with a mouthful of wine, "Son, there is no Turnney here, only strong dragon wine, have you tasted it?" I guess you must not have tried it, because your mother will be angry, hahaha!" Several sailors around him laughed as well.

Very provocative, Tarrant doesn't like to cause trouble, but this sentence makes him very unheard, and he quickly punches the bridge of the sailor's nose Tarrant, the sailor opens his mouth laughing, the whole person is frozen, the nosebleed keeps to his mouth, he tries to keep his eyes open, the effect of the fire dragon wine makes him lose his center of gravity, and he lies down to the ground suddenly, in his eyes, Tarrant appears several vague figures, he tries hard to get up, but he is numb, "You will regret it!" After saying this, his head fell to the ground and fainted.

The tavern suddenly became quiet, which only meant one thing, there was a good show to watch, and all eyes were on Tarrant.

Several sailors beside him stared at Tarrant, their companion was knocked unconscious, and one of the sailors stood up and walked towards Tarrant, "Boy, it seems that you want to exercise your hands and feet, let me tell you, what is a fist!"

"Listen to it", Tarrant also stood up, one by one he was not worried, the drunk man with no sense of direction was as ridiculous as the goblin.

Another sailor grabbed the sailor in front of Tarrant, "Forget it, he deserves it." ”

"What?" the sailor looked back at his companion.

"Forget it, let's keep drinking. "The man who spoke seemed to be the leader of this group of sailors.

Without the support of his companions, the arrogant sailor suddenly lost his confidence, and he pointed at Tarrant, "I will spare you this time!"

In the midst of a "boo", the tavern regained its noisy atmosphere.

The bartender walked over to Tarrant, "I thought we were going to collect the corpse again today." He placed a glass of Ronteney in front of Tarrant, "Cherish the rest of your life." ”

"Thank you for the advice", Tarrant saluted the waiter and raised his head to drink, "By the way, is there a boxing match here?"
