Chapter 0139 Animal Companions

"You just saw Gattuso?" said the coachman, driving the carriage, trying to talk.

"That's right. Downing replied.

"Do you have a task for him?" the coachman shrugged, holding the reins and whip. "It didn't seem like he was a good fit for the profession anymore, and he didn't have a license, and he didn't seem to have much interest, and the money went down the drain. ”

"Not necessarily, he's going to change his mind. Downing confidently plugged his eyes with his hat and lay down in the car, thinking, "He will never refuse when he sees that name." ”

"And where are we going next?" the coachman interrogated.

"Jon Hart, if you've heard his story, tell me about it. ”

"Of course I've heard that the bounty hunter known as the Skull Crusher, who usually smashes the head of his target, is the most active of the active bounty hunters. ”

"That's right, tell me who is the most valuable person wanted in the kingdom right now?"

"If the Holy See counts, it should be Cardinal Pagner of Varna City, who has offered a huge reward for his head. ”

Taylor's magical journey is progressing well, he has mastered the beginner fireball technique and has become a qualified fire elemental mage, and he needs more practice to become more proficient in fireball art and be able to fire as much as he wants.

A stone is blown apart by a rudimentary fireball technique, and Taylor is excited.

"Now that you've mastered the fire element, you'll have to practice more in the coming days to make sure you don't lose your life when you encounter the enemy. Richard patiently explained to the girl. "As for the more advanced fire magic, I'll give you a detailed practice plan. ”

Seeing the thick stack of old manuscripts, Taylor was a little overwhelmed. "Do you need to read these manuscripts to practice magic, isn't it a bit too much? ”

"There are no shortcuts to becoming a competent fire elemental mage, your starting point is high enough, and the manuscripts of the Esdiarra mage family are not something that everyone can see. Richard was a little unhappy with Taylor's lazy attitude. "Now you have no way back. ”

"I'm just kidding, I'm willing to put up with everything for the sake of love. Taylor was a little aggrieved.

Richard gave the materials to Taylor. "That's good, don't let me see you lazy, or I'll punish you harshly, and I won't tolerate it. ”

He valued his family's manuscripts and was willing to share them out of sheer curiosity about what a girl could achieve by learning magic, as if it were an experiment.

When he turned around and saw that the squirrel had been running in, Taylor put down the manuscript, looked at the cute squirrel, and reached out his hand, and the squirrel jumped into her palm. "Little one, if you don't want to be dinner, you'd better leave quickly, Pugna has been looking for new ingredients these days. ”

She didn't notice that Richard's face had become very solemn, and he walked up to Taylor and stretched out his hand. "Give it to me, he's my partner. ”

Taylor half-convinced handed the squirrel to Richard, who leaned down and put his ear on the squirrel's mouth, and the little squirrel made a strange noise, after which Richard lowered the squirrel to the ground. "Man, get up with your work, keep an eye on the dots, and tell me what's going on. ”

The little squirrel seemed to understand Richard's words, and immediately left from here, hiding in the grass, and Taylor was startled by this scene. "You can communicate with it. ”

Richard's face was already difficult to see, and he nodded. "That's right, the little animals within a hundred miles, they are my good companions, acting as my eyes, monitoring everything around me, and I told me that day that Pugna had fainted nearby, otherwise he would have been taken away by the beasts. ”

"So, you knew everything we did when we came that day?" Taylor looked at Richard in disbelief, which was beyond her comprehension.

"Yes, but you are not in any danger, so I was not wary when my companions told me you were coming. Richard replied with a frown, he seemed to have something on his mind since the squirrel left.

According to Richard's account, the squirrel should have told him something just now, and Taylor asked curiously, "What's going on, it looks like you have something on your mind." ”

Richard was silent for a while, and asked suspiciously, "Do any of your friends in the Holy See know that you are here, and reveal to others that I am hiding here?" ”

Taylor denied it. "You mean that someone from the Holy See is coming?"

Richard nodded, a little more sad on his face. "This means that the person who came is not our friend, but our enemy, and it is supposed that your whereabouts have been exposed. ”

"What are the people of the Holy See doing here, how can they follow us?" Taylor didn't think about Pugner for a moment.

"There are two points, the first point, they have obtained information about Pagna, Pagner is a wanted criminal of the Holy See, they want to come here, bring Pagna back, and accept the punishment of the Holy See, and the second point, they have found my traces, supernatural forces that are not controlled by the Holy See they will not allow to exist, so I am also their enemy, and they have come to punish me. Of course, it's possible that both, but it's not safe now. ”

Richard explained to Taylor, shaking his head. "But things are a little strange, according to the little squirrel's information, the Holy See only sent a paladin here, and it was a paladin with a silver sword badge, obviously the Holy See would not know that a paladin with a silver sword badge is impossible to deal with me, and even can't deal with the traitor Pagner of the Holy See, what they want to do, I don't understand. ”

Taylor was lost in thought, but soon she became excited. "Anyway, we have enemies here, and they have broken into our area, which means that I have the opportunity to fight. ”

Richard didn't dare to let a beginner fire mage face a paladin with a silver sword badge and waved his hand. "Don't worry, we'll have to figure out his intentions, he's got a horse, it's still a long way from here, we have time to make the right decision. ”

"What to do then?" Taylor asked.

Richard gestured to Taylor. "You've got to get Pugna back, and I'll have to do the rest, and we'll have to be like ghosts before he finds out. ”

As one of the most famous bounty hunters in the current world, Jon Hart already has a fairly high status and status, and it is not easy to get this bounty thunderman to make a move, even if some high-ranking government officials ask for help, Jon Hart will not necessarily take over, and even his whereabouts are a bit mysterious.

The city of Havana is a prestigious ancient city, the architecture here has been handed down from the time of the Holy War, and it has been baptized by the Holy Army, and now it looks full of history, but at night, like the cities of Blot and Varna, it becomes brightly lit, and the dirtiest people in those towns take to the streets and start their lives, including prostitutes, thieves, murderers, and some perverts.

Downing had heard something about Jon Hart from Uncle Soluk, Uncle Soluk, as the leader of the Bounty Hunters organization, he was familiar with most of the powerful bounty hunters, Jon Hart happened to be one of them, the best in the entire industry, Jon Hart had a special fetish, he liked to harm himself, it was a surprising special fetish.

People with such a habit are usually very withdrawn, they will wear clothes and live a normal life like normal people during the day, but at night, they will shed their disguise, look for their own organization, and then collectively engage in some self-harming behavior, and ordinary people can't contact this organization, because the price of contacting the organization is that you have to have a little self-harm behavior as a letter of introduction. Moreover, the laws of the kingdom prohibit the existence of such organizations, which proves the importance of order and rules, and such organizations usually form some kind of evil religion, which is also not allowed by the Holy See.

Walking through the ancient streets of Havana, Downing had Gerald keep his carriage in a garage for maintenance, while Gerald found a comfortable hotel to rest in, now on his own.

What kind of place will come into contact with the self-mutilating perverted organization, the old rule, go to some underground tavern or casino, or even a brothel to inquire, because these places are the most well-informed, and the people who go to these places are always the most complicated.

In one of the speakeasies in Havana City, the dimly lit place where people are tired from working during the day usually choose to relax and talk about some very interesting things.

The small bar is not even able to see the cheeks clearly, the smell is a little unpleasant, and the man with heavy eyeliner on the bar bars the guests to make a drink, and only need to pay a copper Caesar to drink a drink.

A young man arrives at the bar and throws a bronze Caesar. "Man, have a drink, it's a bit tiring from the day's work. ”

The man at the bar could see that the young man was unfamiliar and was making a glass of spirits. "When you come here, you will get the maximum relaxation. ”

Soon a glass of concocted liquor was handed over, and the young man took the glass and drank it down, as if he was not very happy. "It doesn't seem like it's going to make much of a difference, I should have a few more drinks. The young man took out another silver Caesar and placed it on the counter.

After a few glasses of wine, the young man hung his head. "Damn boss, he only squeezes his employees and never thinks about them, I should teach him a lesson and even screw his head. He gestured a few punches and kicks, and showed both hands.

The man at the bar could see that the young man was a little drunk, and seemed to be very unsatisfactory, and he vented his inner dissatisfaction with the strength of the wine, usually there are many people who do this, and in the face of the boss, they can only talk about it, he has seen too much, maybe he should introduce something new to the young man.

Put your head up. "Young people, are you interested in playing something special, which can make you vent your anger, at least not because you are too depressed to do something that will make you lose your job. ”

The young man put down his glass and wondered, "Tell me about it." ”
