Chapter 257: Heaven Town
After a brief wash with water from a basin of water, Louis did not rest immediately, but put his jacket back on and slipped outside.
The accommodation that Sheriff Ellen arranged for them was next to the sheriff's office, a small two-story building that was a little old, but well maintained.
Louie's room is located in the corner of the first floor, and the main street is outside the window, as long as he opens the window, he can see anything happening on the main street of Paradise Town, and the 'entrance' of Paradise Town is not far away, anyone who comes here, or an enemy appears, he can react immediately.
Coming out of the lodgings, Louis first looked to the side.
The sheriff's office is the building next to it, which is also a two-story building, and the first floor is the sheriff's office, and the person who serves as the sheriff can rest directly on the second floor after finishing his work, which is also the sheriff's 'home'.
At this time, the female sheriff named Lun did not stay in her office or her home, but sat on a wooden chair outside the door, wearing cowboy boots with her feet on the wooden railing, and drank whiskey in her hand.
"If you're looking to go to a tavern or something like that, the one diagonally across the street is it. ”
Paradise is not very large, Louis stands at the door and can see the end of the village at a glance, the most important shops in Paradise are on the main street, the rest of the houses occupy other areas, the whole town is laid out in a long strip, and there is no extension of the second main street.
"Is that the Genesis Mountain over there?" Louie didn't answer the tavern's words, although coming to such a place, the tavern seemed to be a must-see place, but Louie had more things to ask the sheriff, such as what is this Genesis Mountain?
"That's it. ”
Looking into the distance on the other side of the town, one can see the outline of a mountain peak, which seems to be hidden by a thin veil, and only the outline can be seen, and nothing clearer can be seen.
"It's a very dangerous place, and I advise you not to fight the idea of that place. Ellen with curly blond hair took off her cowboy hat and scratched her hair vigorously: "And I hired you to prevent people from entering there, don't forget your job." ”
"Why stop others from getting in there?"
"I don't know, I don't care. Ellen looked lazy, and she didn't know if she had drunk too much or if she was like this: "I just know that my job is to protect this town from any threat, and those who want to enter Genesis Mountain are likely to threaten this town, so I have to deal with them." ”
It's that simple, Ellen shows that she is just trying to make a living, and that the mess has nothing to do with her.
Louie continued to ramble with Ellen, who had nothing to do anyway, and Ellen seemed happy to talk to Louie as well.
Even if two cowboys suddenly rushed out of the tavern, raising their pistols and preparing for a duel, Ellen didn't even move his buttocks, just lazily continued to watch the excitement.
"Don't stop them?"
"They're just a bunch of drunken idiots, not the ones who want to get into Genesis Mountain, so ignore them and let them split the winners. Ellen held up the whiskey bottle and asked Louie if he wanted to drink it?
Louie took it, his feeling about the drink didn't change, but the storage space was unusable, he couldn't take out the Coke he had specially stored, and he was standing here chatting a little tasteless, and he really wanted to drink something with a taste.
By the time he took a big sip of whiskey, the two guys on the street had already decided the winner.
One of the cowboys burps on the spot!
The winning cowboy was raising his hands in celebration, and the crowd of spectators pouring out of the tavern didn't care about it, at most a few guys who had bet on the wrong person were scolding, drawing laughter from many people.
"Got to work. ”
"What?" Louis was returning the whiskey to Ellen when he heard something like this: "You mean there's work to be done?"
I looked at the entrance of the town, but I didn't see any enemies?
Turning his head again, he saw Ellen pointing at the corpse on the street with the finger holding the wine bottle: "Pull the corpse out of town and bury it...... If you find it too much trouble, you can also throw it farther away, and there will be animals willing to help you deal with it. ”
"......" Louis understood what Ellen meant, and the emotional sheriff invited him not only to help protect the village and town, but also to deal with these chores: "This is also the content of the job?"
"Kind of an extra bonus. "Ellen didn't mean to instruct Louie, like this, the cowboy who was killed during the duel would be disposed of so casually, and all kinds of money and equipment on the cowboy would naturally be swept away.
In this respect, it is indeed an additional welfare income.
Louis didn't like this benefit, and he shouted directly to the victorious cowboy, "Remember to dispose of the corpse you made." ”
"What?" The cowboy who was still celebrating the victory and was about to go back to the tavern to continue drinking, by the way, he was stunned for a while with this victory: "Are you talking to me?"
"That's right, it's you! Deal with the trouble you created. ”
"It's funny, it looks like I'm not going to have to win more than just one today......" After smiling at the people next to him, the cowboy turned back to Louis arrogantly: "What if I say no?"
The cowboy's right hand is ready to be drawn above the holster of the revolver, and this gesture has already made its attitude clear: if you don't understand the situation anymore, then you will lie on the ground with the guy.
He is not simply warning and demonstrating, if this guy who appeared out of nowhere continues to 'fight' against him, he will really draw a gun and shoot.
"You'll do it. ”
It's a shame that this guy insists on going against himself, and the cowboy quickly pulls out his gun.
Shots rang out, but instead of the groans of pain from Louis falling to the ground or being wounded, it was a scream from the cowboy.
The gun in his hand landed not far behind him, and was forcibly knocked out of his hand by the bullet, and his right hand was completely paralyzed, and if it wasn't for the speed of his own release and the fact that his fingers didn't have time to reach the trigger, he might have been hurt even more seriously - which also meant that the other party drew his gun and fired much faster than himself.
When the cowboy was in a pose, the guy was still leaning over there, and even when he gave a clear warning, the other party didn't take a 'face-to-face' pose.
Even now, the other party still maintains his previous posture, but he has an extra pistol in his hand, which is very casually aimed at himself - the cowboy doesn't know when this person pulled out the gun.
But he understood that this was not a gunman he could afford to provoke, so he immediately put away his arrogant attitude, picked up his pistol without saying a word, and then obediently dragged the corpse from the ground away, ready to ride it far enough away from the town to throw it away.
Here, no laws or principles are used, and whoever draws a gun and shoots quickly and accurately enough will be able to speak.
The cowboy obediently cleaned up the corpse, and Louis put the pistol back into the holster, and the whole time he leaned against the wooden pillar next to him, as if he was just a crowd of onlookers, and he didn't do anything like pulling out a gun and shooting.
"It's amazing. Ellen, who was sitting next to him, saw more clearly that Louis was very fast, drawing his gun, pulling down the hammer, and aiming and shooting in one go.
Even if she just sat next to her and watched the whole process, she couldn't see the whole process clearly.
She finally felt that she had hired the wrong person, a bounty hunter named Louis Hunt, who was worthy of her revenge.
Louis didn't say anything about Ellen's compliment, after all, his physical fitness and reaction speed have surpassed the level of humans, and it is not surprising that he can do this level when his quality crushes the other party.
The real impact of this incident on him was that after showing his strength, Ellen trusted him a little more and told him more information about Genesis Mountain.
Louis then realized that the legendary place called Genesis Mountain hides mysterious powers, which can make people gain great power and even immortality, so many people want to go to that mountain.
However, Genesis Mountain cannot be entered at will, and there will only be a chance to enter the mountain once every three years: when a rainbow appears on Genesis Mountain, the door to mysterious power will be opened!
Only during this time can you enter Mount Genesis and obtain the legendary mysterious powers, and there is only one town near Mount Genesis, Paradise Town, and anyone who wants to enter Genesis Mountain must pass through Paradise Town.
If you don't enter Paradise Town for the final supplies, you may have starved to death of thirst on the way before you even reached Genesis Mountain.
"However, there is a saying that Paradise Town keeps the 'key to the gate', and if you can't get the key, you still can't enter Genesis Mountain. Ellen gave another piece of information, as if that was the real reason why Paradise was in great trouble.
After all, you can bring more supplies or something, but if Paradise Town really has a key, then it will definitely not be able to escape a catastrophe.
Given enough information, Ellen had gone back to rest after drinking a full bottle of whiskey, and Louis reflexively returned to his lodgings to discuss the information he had gotten with his friends.
"It sounds a bit like an old Western. ”
After listening to Louis tell the information he heard, Cassel gave his own evaluation: A group of outsiders, after getting together by chance, learned that a certain town was about to be destroyed, so this group of people formed a group to protect the town.
"We're not just going to have to deal with robbers. ”
Louis did not ignore the information that Ellen casually mentioned at the beginning: the person who aimed at Genesis Mountain...... And what else exists.
