Four lovely children, it seems that Tom Stark's days are stressful for a reason, and Downing takes off his hat and salutes respectfully. "Ma'am, it doesn't matter, I like naïve kids, they don't usually lie, they just tell what is in their hearts. ”

Taking out a few candies from his pocket, Downing usually kept a little candy in his pocket to pass the boredom on the road and distribute the candy to the three children.

"Thank you, you are such a nice person. The lady watched the three children who had been given the candy and ran back to the house happily, and said with some embarrassment: "Sometimes it will embarrass some of the guests." She stepped out of the way. "Come in and sit down, you must be tired. ”

Not seeing the man at home, apparently Tom Stark was not there, Downing put a piece of candy in the hand of the child in the lady's arms and touched his face. "No, ma'am, I'm coming to find your husband, Mr. Tom Stark, who doesn't seem to be at home, can you tell me where he is?"

"Do you have anything to do with him?" asked the housewife. "He's usually looking for a job at this time, and it's not easy to earn money now. ”

"Well, I admire his craft and want to visit him, and maybe he can make me something I want, and I will pay him quite well. "Don would rather not tell a woman or a child his true intentions.

Housewives get excited. "I'll take you there. She walked out, took the baby in her arms, and turned to tell the three little ones in the room who were eating candy. "You have to stay in the house and don't come out. ”

"Well, it's not good to leave three children at home alone, it's okay, you just need to tell me where he is, and I'll go over myself. Downing rejected the other party's enthusiasm, because no one could predict what would happen later.

The housewife, seeing that the other party was serious, went out and stood outside, pointing to a small square below. "He's usually waiting there, just go over and ask. ”

The small square is not big, after all, there is no way to build a square that is too luxurious in a mountain city, the square is full of people, there are many travelers, and there are some locals in the corners around who are quite shabby, holding some construction tools, obviously waiting for work.

Downing randomly found a place where the craftsmen gathered. "I'd like to find Mr. Tom Stark, he's here. ”

A young craftsman pointed to the corner of the plaza to the southeast. "He's there, you can just go there, with a big pipe in his mouth, it's easy to recognize. ”

In the southeast corner of the square, the craftsmen were sitting around playing cards, a local type of card, and one of them, a raunchy old man, was playing a game with a large pipe in his mouth.

"Mr. Tom Stark, allow me to introduce myself to you, Downing Stewart. Tang Ning introduced himself to the old man who was playing cards.

Tom Stark glanced up at the young man, handed the cards in his hand to a young man next to him, and immediately got up and walked in front of Downing, in good spirits. "Sir, do you have a job, my craft is quite good. ”

"Yes, but it doesn't seem to be necessary for your tools. Downing glanced at the tool that the old man picked up casually, and couldn't help frowning, Tom Stark's current state didn't seem to have anything to do with the bounty hunter, and he even had some doubts about whether the current Tom Stark would still be able to complete the bounty task.

"Don't worry, I'm okay with the carpenter's job. "Tom Stark is very enthusiastic, it's not easy to find a job, he has to seize the opportunity, but don't run away with the business that comes to his door. "If you're still not sure, we can work first, and then you pay me at my level, how about that. ”

This was already the biggest concession, and Tang Ning didn't know how to explain it, so he looked at the craftsmen next to him. "Well, you're probably misunderstanding, we need to find a quiet place to talk to you and me. ”

"No problem, whatever you want. Tom Stark happily agreed, pointing to a nearby alley. "It's a sewer over there, and it probably doesn't smell good, so there are very few people going, how about it. ”

Following Tom Stark into this little dirty alley, Tom Stark turned back. "Tell me what kind of work it is. ”

The environment was quite harsh, the smell was almost suffocating, and Downing wanted to end the conversation quickly, pinching his nose. "Mr. Stark, I want you to get back to your old business and do something for me, a bounty job, and I'll pay you quite handsomely, enough for you and your family to live a prosperous life. ”

Tom Stark's eyes became a little weird, and Tang Ning was afraid that the other party would refuse, so he hurriedly explained: "Or you can put forward any conditions, as long as you are willing to accept my assignment, I don't think you will ......"

Just as Downing was about to move out of the other party's family for an emotional offensive, Tom Stark smiled excitedly, "Of course, I accept your assignment. ”

This time it was Tang Ning's turn to be surprised, he originally thought that it would be very difficult to convince an old hunter who resolutely left the bounty industry very old, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so easily, you must know that Uncle Soluk had used many methods to persuade the other party to return to his old business, how could this be.

Tom Stark shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's rare for anyone to know that I was once a bounty hunter, and I thought I had been forgotten." There was some helplessness in the words.

Tang Ning was a little uneasy, and always felt that this matter was a bit strange. "I haven't forgotten, Mr. Stark, but I have to be honest with you, it's not an easy task, and it can cost you your life......"

Stark interrupted the young man in front of him, his expression rather calm. "I know that bounty hunter missions are usually life-threatening, and there is nothing to say about it, and since I have agreed, it means that I am ready to sacrifice. ”

Tang Ning was speechless, now he was more worried about whether the other party's skills would have completely degraded, everything that happened now was too unbelievable. "Well, Mr. Stark, I'm grateful for your promise, but it's been a long time since you've been in the business, and you're ...... at it."

Stark interrupted the young man in front of him with another movement, and raised his hand, and the carpentry saw in his hand pierced into a standing tile on the ground, exactly splitting the tile into two. "Your concerns are valid, but usually good bounty hunters will have their skills integrated into their lives, as if they were born with them, and will not degrade. ”

Downing looked down at the floor tiles that had been split in half exactly along the raised corners, and was speechless, before nodding.

"Let's talk about the pay, when to act, and the tasks. Stark picked up his tools and began to dig into the details of the mission.

Stark himself was quite satisfied with the reward for the mission, because the price offered by Downing was enough for the family to live a fairly good life for the rest of their lives, and Stark also got a note for the content of the mission.

"No problem, I'll do what you say. He put the note away and walked out of the alley with the young man.

"Then do you want to prepare and go with me, because I have to get there next. "Downing has found all the people he needs to find, and now he has to rush to that place, and as an employer, he has to see what happens in that place.

"No problem, you have to pay a deposit first. Stark held out his hand.

Downing handed a bill of exchange to the other party. "No, I can trust you, pay you in full, you will get all the rewards for this task, whether it succeeds or fails, don't worry. ”

"What a good employer, I'll take care of the task for you. Stark left with the money order, and he had to get home and get ready.

Downing had to go to the church to see how the paladin was, because time was running out, and he had thought that convincing Stark would take some time and that the paladins would have a lot of time to go to the church, but now it looked like they would have to leave the city of rocks soon.

The church was quite conspicuous in the city, and he had seen it under the guidance of the peddlers, and when he reached the door of the church, before he could enter the church, a group of people rushed out of the church, and it was the tourists, who had fled from the church in a panic.

"What's going on?" Downing asked, stopping a tourist.

"A madman inside the church. The tourist was frightened and pale. "He killed Mr. Bishop of the church, it's crazy. ”

It's really surprising that the paladin has become so decisive this time, it seems that you didn't talk very well after entering the church, but this is also in Downing's expectation, the people of the church only care about his bounty order, which is quite a good income.

At this time, someone rushed out of the church, followed by a group of people, it was the paladin Cybertron, who was holding a holy sword, apparently snatched it, and the paladins of the church behind him rushed out and surrounded Cybertron.

Cybertron was covered in blood, and he turned his head to see Downing not far away. "We've got to get out of this damn place quickly, they're not trustworthy. ”

Downing agreed, and threw his musket to the paladin. "You should be able to use it yourself, I'll wait for you at the agreed place. ”

The paladins saw that the murderer had his accomplices, and they wanted to separate people to stop the young man, but the young man was good at it, and he had already fled after a few turns.

Cybertron explained his identity in the church and wanted to explain everything, but this time he was on guard, and the cardinal of the church in the city of rocks tried to deceive him, and he saw through it, he killed the other party, and seriously injured a paladin and took the holy sword.

Enraged by the musket that Downing had thrown at him, Cybertron had seen his annoying companion use it, and he raised it to one of the men and pulled the trigger, killing a paladin from the local church with a loud bang.

"Die, you scum of the Holy See. Cybertron roared and kept pulling the trigger, his crosshair was quite good, the paladins of those churches kept falling, and the rest of the guys saw this situation, and they gave up their original ideas and began to flee, the bounty was not comparable to life.
