Chapter 0158: Old and New Duel
A bounty hunter searches for another bounty hunter, and Downing looks at the other. "Mr. Alex, as one of the most famous bounty hunters, I don't believe there is a task you can't accomplish and need Caddell's help, tell me what your purpose is for him. ”
Another participant of the game, who had been confident before, heard the young man say the name of the third person, and he sat up straight and looked at the guy whose face was covered by the brim of his hat. "You're Alex, the Son of Ghosts?"
Alex lifted the brim of his hat slightly, there was a clear wound on his face, and his grim eyes stared at the young man sitting opposite. "You recognize me? Then you shouldn't be sitting here. ”
"Then what should I do, get up and flee, or kneel on the ground and beg for your forgiveness?" Downing let out an eerie laugh, staring at the Ghost Child in front of him. "If you're going to kill someone, escaping from here doesn't seem to do much, and now that I've revealed your identity, you'll hate me. ”
The third person saw the two madmen in front of him, the younger madman recognized Alex, but he didn't run away, and Alex himself was a murderous madman, he didn't seem to have much chance of winning in front of the madman, remembering that he almost did it just now, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then looked at Alex. "Mr. Alex, I have no intention of competing with you, I can give you this mission. ”
He got up and wanted to leave, Alex pulled out a dagger from his waist with great speed, slit the throat of the guy who wanted to leave, and watched the other person fall, and he sat down again. "I don't need a handout, and there is a price to pay for saying the wrong thing. ”
Swift speed, vigorous skills, worthy of the title of the son of ghosts, Tang Ning looked at the scene in front of him and applauded. "Pretty good skill, it's really eye-opening, uh, I'm more curious about what you're doing with Kadel?"
Alex looked at the young man in front of him with a relaxed expression, unlike other people who saw him do it, frightened and afraid, he wiped the blood from the dagger and said softly: "I have some grudges with him, it's time to settle our personal grudges." ”
"Then why not just assassinate? It seems more straightforward and more productive, and there is no need to play this game at all, Alex's assassination technique can be trusted. Tang Ning was puzzled.
"I have to finish it in person, be fair, and prove that I'm better than him. Alex stared at the young man, wondering how the other recognized him.
"It's unbelievable that assassins are good at assassination and say that they should be fair, and it seems that this feud is due to the fact that Kader is more famous than you in the Bounty Hunter Order. Downing defined grievances.
"Clever young man, being able to guess that this is not a good thing for you, and may cost you your life. Alex stood up and stared at the young man in front of him, rubbing his fingers against the blade of the dagger. "I'm sorry, I was wrong, now I have to let you die. ”
"To tell you the truth, I think so too, we'll have to settle our personal feud before Cader doesn't come here. Downing stood up, one hand in his arms, and stared at Alex, a bounty hunter in front of him who excelled at assassination. "Originally, I thought I was going to look for you, so it would save me a lot of trouble, you know, it's not a good experience to travel long distances. ”
On the list of those bounty hunters, Alex is one of them.
Alex frowned. "I guess the only grievances with you are today's rivalry, or that I have hurt your relatives, or friends, or lovers? No, I never kill women, and I usually give those targeted women to people in need. ”
"That's right, you have a grudge against one of my uncles, and of course it is impossible for you to kill him with your ability, but you betray him, which is even more difficult for him to accept than killing him. Downing shrugged. "Because you were friends once, you must not have experienced what it was like to be betrayed by your friends. ”
Alex could not have imagined that such a person was his friend and betrayed by him, but he never had a friend. "Maybe you should tell me his name, maybe I can remember. ”
"Bounty Master Soluk, your former boss and the one who sets the industry standard for bounty hunters. Tang Ning smirked. "You need to hurry, time is running out, I don't want Kader to see me ruining his game. ”
Hearing the name, Alex's hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, and the finger that was placed on the cold blade of the dagger had something wrong with its strength, and blood flowed out, and his gaze was shocked. "Who are you, I haven't heard of any relatives and friends in him. ”
"Yes, it is true that he did not have any relatives or friends before he was betrayed, but after he was betrayed, he knew me and entrusted me with this task. Tang Ning cleared up the other party's doubts. "If you don't remember how you betrayed him and put Hendwell Carter in place, I don't mind combing through it for you. ”
Alex, of course, remembers that Hendwell Carter relaxed the standards of bounty hunters, in addition to the officially released tasks, they can also get some high-reward private tasks, without worrying about some moral issues, the previous Soluk forbade bounty hunters to accept private tasks, choose to cooperate with the authorities, out of * There are a lot of fine rules, only those villains released by the official will become the target of bounty hunters, and if the bounty hunter becomes an official target, he will be removed from the bounty hunter organization, but Henwell Carter will not do this, and the lax policy has made many butchers of bounty hunters come up, such as Alex, etc., and those honest bounty hunters are lonely.
Compared to the two, it was clear that Hendwell Carter was more friendly to them butchers, and for the sake of this, Alex betrayed Soluk, who taught him the skills of a bounty hunter, as a mentor and friend.
"So what do you want, kill me, cut off my head, and send it to him?" Alex put the severed finger in his mouth, licking his own blood, his face gloomy. "To be honest, I don't want to repent of the mistakes I have made, it was all Soluk's own doing, it wasn't that I abandoned him, but everyone abandoned him, he was an outcast of the Bounty Hunters, and everyone was excited about his downfall. ”
"It's good that I don't feel guilty about what I'm doing next. Tang Ning smiled and stared at the bounty hunter in front of him. "Thank you for being so honest. ”
Alex glanced at the young man, took the finger from his mouth, and pressed the dagger on the other side's waist. "You want to avenge him, you are his proud student, inheriting his killing skills and methods?To be honest, I really want to compete with Soluk, but I have never had a chance, now the opportunity has come, let's do it, let me see if Soluk's students are as good as him." ”
"Okay then. Downing smirked, and with a muffled thud, Alex's head cracked like a watermelon, his brain splattered, and his body fell, and the young man looked down at the hole under his shirt on his chest, and the musket smoked, and the famous bounty hunter's life came to an end, dying of ignorance.
"Times have changed, Alex, no hunter can beat the Engineer's Masterpiece like the Musket, and no one will continue to settle disputes with a dagger. Tang Ning took off his coat, wiped his hands and threw them aside, and let out a hideous laugh.
Alex was still stuck in the age of cold weapons, and his outdated thinking led him to lose the battle between the old and the new hunters and pay with his life, but as an engineer and a kadel dabbling in some alchemy, he would not make such a stupid mistake.
The game circle is gradually shrinking, and many people have died at his hands, and the horse is about to reach the finals, but there is a little accident during this period.
He meets a paladin, a stubborn paladin.
From Havana City to Hawke, Cybertron is a little tired, but he must prove his innocence before taking time to rest, this matter cannot be delayed, compared to the paladin, Pugna is even worse, his condition has become more serious, coughing along the way, the paladin found some wild supernatural power medium, that is, some herbs, with herbs to temporarily suppress Pugna's condition.
It wasn't obvious, but at least it was useful, and now that they had reached Hawke, they had to rush to the Holy See and meet the local cardinal.
Pagna followed the paladin, looking at the people around him, he had to hurry, this could be the last time on earth, as soon as he reached the Holy See, he would be executed and his life would come to an end.
The paladin firmly believes that the Holy See can be trusted, he can't convince the other party, so he can only take risks, Pugner has expected the final outcome, he doesn't feel sorry for his death, but the paladin in front of him is likely to be killed by the evil Holy See, which makes him a little heartbroken, but compared to the physical death, it can be foreseen that the kind of spiritual blow that comes from the Holy See when he finds out that the Holy See is really not trustworthy.
Maybe he could try again, and Pagna took a few steps to catch up with the paladin in front of him. "Look, the city is full of energy, young people like you are doing what they like, they are not bound by any external forces, how joyful, this is what young people should be. ”
"Living without faith is torture, they are content with pleasure, but when the pleasure is over they feel empty, and I am able to live to the fullest because of faith. The paladin scanned his surroundings, determined and unwavering.
"Maybe. The last effort was useless, and Pugner could only reply, he could only pray for the paladin.
It was only after walking a few steps that he saw the horses galloping on the street, the paladin stopped, looked at the horse, his heart beat faster, raised his palm, and saw the holy light jumping in his palm, someone used supernatural powers, his brows furrowed, and he stood in place to observe.
Pugna watched the panicked horses depart, and glanced back at the paladin, whose expression indicated that something had happened. "What did you find?"
"Someone uses supernatural powers. Cybertron explained to Pagna.
