Chapter 64: The Legendary Earl (Taiyin Greets the New Year's Greetings to the Lords)

After Mayo told the whole thing the ins and outs, everything was clear at a glance. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and the reason why he said the whole thing so clearly was not because he wanted Payne to repay him anything, he just wanted to pass on some experience to the other party.

As for why he wanted to help Payne, Mayo himself couldn't be sure of the real reason. Maybe it's because of the generosity of the other party before, it's more pleasing to the eye, and it may be that it's a bounty hunter's occupational disease.

Bounty hunters are not just dealing with demons or beasts, but more often than not, they will face vicious bandits, cunning murderers in disguise, pirates, undergrounds, smugglers, and more.

Therefore, analyzing mission intelligence has become a necessary tool for them.

"You're amazing!" Roy sighed sincerely, his analysis of Mayo and the means of dealing with it were simply admirable.

Roy isn't anything less than normal, he's just not good at thinking. Especially when it comes to complex things, let alone connecting those unrelated details, it is difficult to even find an entry point.

"Me?" said Mayo, who smiled, and although he didn't seem shrewd, it was always pleasant to be complimented by others, "I can't even touch the surface of someone's feet compared to the legendary Count Alding Fish." ”

"Earl Legend?" Roy touched his head, looking confused.

When Payne was following the knights, Lord Hervey often talked about the earl.

About thirteen years ago, there was a series of murders that caused a sensation in the kingdom of Glow to the whole country, and in half a month, nine nobles were killed one after another, seven of them were counts, and the other two were dukes.

This incident not only shocked the royal family, but even the Holy See sent an envoy to investigate the matter, but half a month later, they found nothing, not even a clue.

During this period, all the nobles were in fear, and in order to appease them as soon as possible, His Majesty the King issued a reward of 1,000 gold coins in the Bounty Guild, and promised to be rewarded with the title of hereditary earl.

For this bounty, which is almost a one-step bounty, not only the bounty hunters of the three kingdoms, but even the bounty hunters of the dwarf and giant kingdoms are involved.

But in the end, only one person found out about it was Oldin Fish of the Terrans, and it took him only seven days from beginning to end.

Although the truth of the incident was not revealed in the end, a legendary count was born.

It is called a legend because he did not accept the canonization of the king, but joined the Holy See.

Everyone thought that the Holy See had secretly dug a corner, but this was not the case, and to everyone's surprise, it was Oldin Fish himself who took the initiative.

It is said that instead of directly accepting Oldin, the Holy See of Light personally subjected him to strict scrutiny before finally accepting him into the Holy See, and the legendary count was not entrusted with a heavy task.

In fact, the Holy See rarely invites anyone, and the vast majority of the congregation in the Holy See grew up in monasteries, where they were trained, nurtured, and indoctrinated from an early age.

However, all the congregants who choose the Holy See after they become adults will face layers of review, and finally need to pass the personal review of the bishop, and some special people need to be reviewed at a higher level, such as archbishops and cardinals.

Roy's eyes were a little dilated after listening to Payne's words, which was simply incredible.

Roy's dream was to be a knight, to be canonized as a count by the king himself, he didn't even dream of it, but the earl was stupid to refuse, except that he had something wrong with his head, he really couldn't think of any other explanation.

"Then why is he called an earl, and not the papal one?" Roy asked.

"Because he was a figure that all bounty hunters admired. Mayo said with a shrug.

"Was it?" Roy was visibly puzzled.

"Well," Mayo nodded, "Count Alding has rarely reappeared since he was called a legend, especially in recent years, as if he had evaporated from the world. ”

"I see. Roy said matter-of-factly.

......

After the two left, Payne quietly thought about it alone, and in terms of the whole thing, he was indeed a victim. But 'I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me.'"

It was hard for Payne to stay out of the situation, and as soon as he closed his eyes, the faces of the tragic deaths came to his mind.

Fortunately, more than a dozen people survived in the end, and the most seriously injured was Johnny, who lost his forearm.

Thinking of this, Payne sighed, "Whew... , I really want to have a cigarette. ”

At this time, Roy pushed the door again and walked in, and smiled at him, "I helped you make a bowl of porridge, you have been in a coma for three days, I think you must be hungry now." ”

"Thank you, Roy. Payne felt a sour nose.

......

By the time Payne was fully restored, it was already three days later. He had to sigh at the magic of this world, and the mercenary group didn't know what medicine to use for them, and after recovering, Payne was shocked to find that there were no scars left on his body, let alone any sequelae.

During the period of recuperation, the Bounty Guild sent a person in charge and brought a bounty, although the other party did not say anything, but Payne knew that this bounty was eighty percent of Hagen's.

There were four golds and thirty silvers in total, including the demon's tooth.

Neither Payne nor Roy had ever seen a gold coin before, it had an ornate scepter on the front and a mountain on the back, and characters were engraved around the coin, but neither of them could read it.

Just like the movie, it is golden and heavy, and just one glance will make people greedy and unable to extricate themselves.

Penn knew that the bounty was not his, and he returned one of them to Crane through Mayo.

Crane didn't think much of what he said at the time, but if you really thought about it, it was definitely not a gold coin. This can affect an individual's reputation.

As for the rest, Payne asked Roy to give it to the living, and those who died could only slowly compensate their families in the future.

As long as he's alive, Payne swears secretly.

But even so, he still felt a knot in his heart that could not be solved.

Payne didn't hide it, and he chose to face it calmly, whether or not these people forgave him.

To be honest, Payne found it hard to face these people, especially when he saw Johnny's half-amputated arm.

Fortunately, Hawke and the others, including Johnny, did not resent him, much to Payne's surprise.

In fact, they were mentally prepared when they joined the mercenary, as a mercenary is like this, the head is always pinned to the belt of the trousers, this kind of thing is almost unavoidable, they have long been enlightened.
