Chapter 3: The Silver Trunk

The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun is reflected on Maple Town, combined with the scattered maple leaves, as if putting on a layer of autumn gauze for Maple Town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a remote town in the western part of the kingdom, Maple Leaf Town has no developed shipping, no new factories, neither an economic center nor an administrative center, just an ordinary town.

The reason why it can be famous in the western part of the kingdom is entirely because of the unique scenery formed by the combination of the local topography under the sunset and the maple leaves, and the town of Maple Leaf is also praised as a tourist city in the entire Wilma Kingdom.

On this day, however, all the residents of Maple Leaf closed their windows and doors, even the hardest working people put away their stalls, the most demanding bosses gave their employees a day off for free, and the policemen who used to roam the streets all day disappeared

The most important thing is that the local snake in Maple Leaf Town, Scar doesn't know where to shrink, so Anx ran to his residence and knocked on the door for a long time, you must know that this Scar has to walk around the streets of Maple Town several times a day, for fear that others will not know him.

And in the entire Maple Leaf Town, except for Anks, it is estimated that no one knows that this headache gangster Scar is actually from the home of Kevier, the richest man in Maple Leaf Town.

"Kiscar, what the hell happened today, why is everyone huddled at home"

The person who is called Scar by Anks is Scar, and Scar is Kivier's youngest son, who is 13 years old this year, the same year as Anks, and grew up together.

When he was a child, Scar always hit Anria's attention, so Ankers had a lot of conflicts with Scar, and Ankers also found Scar back home by chance, only to discover his secret.

Ankers didn't know what evil the youngest son of the richest man in Maple Leaf Town had fallen into, but he actually liked to be a gangster, and thanks to Scar's strange hobby, Ankers was able to learn a lot of secret information about Maple Town.

The door opened, and a round head stretched out, like a turtle that had just stretched out of its shell, and its eyes were very obscene, and it seemed as if he had been thinking about how to calculate others all day long.

"Ankers, how many times have I said don't call me by my real name, and don't come to my house to look for me, are you itching?"

Ankers completely ignored Scar's threat, and directly explained the purpose of this visit, "You give me two tickets for Leah's tour, and tell me what happened, and I'll leave"

When Scar heard the name of Leah's tour group, he almost cried out excitedly, but fortunately Ankers hurriedly covered his mouth, Scar looked behind him nervously, and then beckoned Anx in.

"The next time you see someone else, don't mention it, that is, I know you, otherwise you would have been dragged into the police station a long time ago"

Scar quietly took Anx into the house, Scar's home was very large, Kivier had a large area in the best place on the outskirts of Maple Town, and he had chartered a large area to make a manor, and the buildings in the manor were all polished with the best marble.

Every building in the house was designed by designers from the city of Wangdu ---- Ville, and Scar even rode a horse every time he went from the garden to the place where he lived.

At this time, as soon as Anx entered the gate, he saw that the garden was full of big men, all of them holding a long pipe, staring sharply in all directions.

As soon as Anx came in, he was furious at what they saw. Ankers knew that the long tube could shoot terrifying iron balls, which was terrifying.

Scar waved his hand, and then led Anx through the garden, to a small grove next to the garden, and after walking for about three or two minutes, a small log cabin appeared in front of him.

Scar brought him into the room, and Anx found a chair to sit down, then naturally pulled up a teapot next to him, poured a cup of black tea, and drank it.

"What happened today, why do you have so many air guns in your family, it's a lot of money?"

"What's this, the guards inside the manor still have jet guns, this is a real good guy."

Listening to Scar's very smug words, although he didn't know the difference between this jet gun and an air gun, he was still very envious in his heart, but Ankers didn't show a trace of envy.

"I'm unlucky to know you, do you know how much the tickets for Leah's tour group are fought, it's 1 gold coin, and the price is not marketable"

"1 gold coin", Ankers looked at Scar with a stunned expression.

"How can it be so expensive, one gold coin is equal to a hundred silver coins, I remember the last time a tour group came to perform, it was only 5 silver coins a piece, it was a tour group performing in various countries"

One hundred silver coins, which is almost equivalent to Ankers' salary for more than 9 years, and it takes nine years without eating or drinking to save a ticket, which makes Anx a little dumbfounded.

"This has to do with the second news I said", Scar leaned closer, as if he was afraid that others would hear it.

"It's said that we've got a xenomorph !! in town"

"Xenomorphs! No way, aren't xenomorphs all wiped out by hunters, how can there be?"

Hearing the name now, Anx can still remember the horror stories told by his parents when he was a child, dressed in human skin, but inside lived demons, who fed on humans, were infinitely powerful, extremely fast, and were not afraid of swords, and almost destroyed them.

The horror caused by xenos has not dissipated in Anx's generation, and to this day, xenos are still a nightmare in people's hearts.

Ankers had always thought it was a lie, but it wasn't until he was eight years old, when he was assigned to the tallest tower-like building next to Maple Leaf Town, that he knew it was all true.

Hunters are real, and so are the xenomorphs of cholera, and Ankers is very unfortunate not to have the talent to become a hunter, that is, the so-called source particle adaptability is only 30%, and one of the minimum conditions for becoming a hunter is that the source particle adaptability reaches 50%.

Ankers didn't know exactly what the source particles were, but he thought it was a great thing anyway.

Because the people in the town have great respect for hunters, after a hunter comes to the town, they often celebrate for several days.

It was after this that Ankers began to work hard and learned some rough grappling techniques from a retired veteran policeman to comfort his desire to become a hunter

"Don't be so loud, I was just as surprised as you when I first heard about it, it is said that this xenomorph came from somewhere else, and the reason why Leah Tours' tickets have become so expensive is because Leah Tours has hired a hunter to accompany them"

After hearing this, Ankers' face softened slightly, but Ankers was still very uneasy in his heart, and Ankers was already thinking at this time, and after the performance was over, he would immediately leave Maple Leaf Town and go to the royal capital ---- Ville City.

Scar was still talking to himself, describing his disdain for Leah's tour and the horror of the xenomorphs.

"Although this Leah tour group invited hunters, but when the time comes, the xenomorphs and hunters will fight, it will inevitably affect us ordinary people, so ah, today's ticket, I will give it to you, how about it, Scar, I am righteous enough, you kid had better forget the address of Scar's house quickly, next time I come, Scar, I am not so easy to discuss"

Ankers casually took the two tickets given by Scar, didn't say anything more, threw down a cloth bag, turned and left.

"Hey, are you insulting your scar master by giving such a little money, hurry up and take it back, otherwise I'm welcome"

Before Scar's words could be finished, Anx had already left the cabin.

Seeing Ankers's expression, Scar sneered a few times, "Hmph, this kid is also scared sometimes"

--------Boundary--------

By the time Ankers left Kivir Manor, it was already dark, and Ankers was walking down the familiar street, lined with two groups of maple trees.

This road was built at the expense of Kivel, and Kivier also planted a large number of maple trees on both sides, and when autumn comes, this road becomes the most famous path in Maple Town, and it is known as the maple leaf promenade.

Almost every tourist who comes to Maple Leaf Town will come and walk this road, and Kivier took the opportunity to build some small shops around the Maple Leaf Promenade early, and these small shops will make Kivier make a lot of money every year.

The original golden autumn colors have passed, the maple trees block the moonlight, and the small shops on both sides of the road have closed their doors early, and the whole street looks inexplicably gloomy and darker at this moment.

The breeze swept across Ankes' cheeks, causing Ankes' body to tremble, and Ankers stopped and looked around at the overly quiet surroundings.

[Strange, this road shouldn't be so quiet, don't you say], Anx suddenly thought of something, when he had to run home.

But before Anx could run a few steps, a silver light flashed in the corner of his eye, and Anx stopped and looked in the direction of the silver light, and a silver-white box hung on the maple tree.

"What's that?"

Anx walked over curiously, and the position of the silver-white box was a position and a half higher than Anks.

Seeing this, even if Anx was leaving, there was always a voice in his heart telling Anx not to miss this box.

Without thinking too much, Anx jumped hard at the trunk, then stepped on the trunk and jumped again, and finally reached out and knocked the box down from the tree.

Anx stepped forward and picked up the box, the silver-white box was unexpectedly much heavier than Anx thought, the silver-white box had a red fork printed on the surface, and a golden sword passed through it.

Seeing this box, Ankers seemed to think of something, but Anx knew that now was definitely not the time to check, so he ran home with the box.

About 10 minutes after Ankers left, a man dressed in black appeared at the place where Anx had picked up the silver-white box.

The man in black carried a jet gun and a metal dagger around his waist, but the dagger was half broken.

The jet gun is almost the same as what Anx saw with Scar, but the man in black has a more elaborate workmanship and a larger muzzle, and the metal dagger is somewhat ordinary.

The man in black walked in vain, a trace of red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and on the clothes of the man in black's right arm, there was a red fork and a golden long sword, and the man in black looked at the maple tree that had just fallen from the silver-white box with a sad face.

The man in black jumped 3 meters high, jumped onto the previous maple tree, looked around and then jumped to another maple tree, although the man in black was injured, he landed on the treetop of the maple tree without making a sound

The man in black inspected several maple trees one after another, and each one was carefully observed.

"It doesn't make sense, I just saw that it fell here, could it have been picked up", the man in black looked around.

"Where will there be people in such a deserted place, where are you going to find it at night, let's go back and report it quickly, it's really unlucky!!"

The man in black glanced at it a few more times, and then quickly disappeared into the woods with a few last steps.
