Payne wondered why Meg's town was built stronger than the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The Silver Knight replied that the Earl of Manly was short of gold coins, but that didn't mean anyone else could peep at them.

Come to think of it, such a large field is cultivated all year round, and it is strange that the lord can lack gold coins, and the best way to protect gold coins is to have strong walls and fierce guards, and the Earl of Manly is not short of both. Thinking of this, Payne couldn't help but shake his head, "What does this have to do with me." Cheering himself up, he continued on his way.

Entering the town of Meg, there is a rock-paved winding stone road in front of you, and at the same time passing through the five taels carriage is not a problem at all. On both sides of the road are some typical Western buildings, and standing at the city gate, you can see two of the most conspicuous buildings, - the castle of the lord and count on the right, and the other on the left, the church set up by the Holy See here.

The Bounty Hunters' Guild is near the church, and if you walk towards the spired building, you'll be sure to find the Bounty Guild.

"Hey, that red-haired kid, what are you doing standing there. ”

Payne looked and saw two men in armor and heavy swords standing there.

On the chest of the armor is a shield-shaped emblem with ears of wheat above and two crossed swords below, the family crest of the Earl of Manley and a symbol of the land of Meg.

Apparently, both men were guards of the town.

From helmets to boots, they were all steel plate armor, and what the phrase said, armed to the teeth. The two in front of me are like this, and those who don't know think that there are two statues standing there.

"I'm going to the Bounty Guild. Payne said, shaking the heavy sword on his shoulder.

"If you want to go to the Bounty Guild, go quickly, don't get in the middle of the road. One of the guards said unceremoniously.

Payne was stunned when he heard this, he remembered that the last time he and the knight came to Meg, the two of them were also standing in this position, and Lord Hervey also explained some information about the town, and stopped here for five minutes. And he was scolded for standing for less than half a minute, which is simply unreasonable!

But after all, he left the middle of the road and sat down on the stone platform by the side of the road. He was so tired that he didn't toss lightly this day. So far, all he has eaten is the paste in the morning, and he has long been hungry with his chest pressed against his back.

I didn't dare to rest in a hurry before, but now that I have entered the town, I have nothing to worry about, so I just sit down and rest for a while.

However, he can't rest too often, this ghost place is like something as soon as it gets dark, he has to rush to the bounty guild before the sun sets, otherwise except for the nobles, it is forbidden to walk around the streets after dark, especially in winter.

After a short rest, Payne lifted his sore legs and walked in the direction of the church.

The architecture of the Bounty Guild is similar to that of a tavern, and even the façade is almost identical, so it is estimated that it was a tavern before.

Payne pushed the door directly and walked in, the light inside was a little dim, there were a total of twenty round tables, only one table was occupied by people in front of it, and the whole guild seemed deserted.

The man's head drooped, his eyes squinted, and he looked like he was asleep. Payne glanced at the man, then withdrew his gaze and walked towards the counter.

Sitting at the counter was a brown-haired man, about forty years old, wearing a gray sweater, looking quite energetic.

His name was Miller, and before he lost a leg, he was also quite famous among bounty hunters. After that, the Bounty Guild did not give up on him, but made him a usher.

Coming to the counter, Payne put down his heavy sword and horse bag, and looked at Miller, who was smoking a pipe, "Hello, I'm the servant of the Silver Knight Hervey. ”

"You know, if I'm not mistaken, your name is Payne. ”

"Yes, I'm here—" Before Payne could finish his sentence, Miller interrupted him.

"We've learned of Hervey's death, and I'm sorry, Payne. Miller turned his head and looked at Payne with blue eyes, "Hervey is a great bounty hunter, but as a bounty hunter is like that, he has to face danger and death at any time, even if he is great, and few people can die well." ”

Payne saw a faint sadness in those blue eyes, and if someone else had said these words, he would probably have scoffed at them.

But Miller is different, he has the qualifications to say such things. He traded one of his legs for the lives of three of his companions, something that most people could not do, and his spirit deserved the admiration of all bounty hunters, even the Silver Light Knight respected him considerably.

"You... "Payne wanted to ask how you know, but he didn't, because he didn't belong here, so he couldn't even ask if he had any doubts, which the Knight had told him.

The other party nodded, took a puff of cigarette, and said lightly, "This matter is over, the Holy See doesn't want to spread this matter, so whatever you know, don't tell anyone about it, this warning is also advice." ”

Payne's eyes flickered, but he had already told the story. Looking at Miller's eagle-like eyes, Payne secretly said... Worst.

In the face of an excellent bounty hunter once upon a time, the other party will read a lot of information from his eyes, and his performance just now will definitely not escape those keen eyes.

Just as Payne was about to respond, the other party smiled, looked down for a moment, and then handed him an envelope.

"This is what Hervey told me on his departure, that if he does not come back and you do, give you this letter. Miller's eyes returned to calm, as if nothing had happened before, which relieved Payne slightly.

After taking the envelope, Payne was stunned for a moment, the font used on it was very strange, not English, let alone Chinese. It didn't matter if it was German or French, the important thing was that he didn't recognize the words at all. His predecessor could only barely write his own name, nothing more.

"This..."

Miller looked at Payne's expression and smiled, "Need help?"

"Thank you. Payne touched it with his hand as he took it, and he found that there was nothing but a piece of paper in the envelope, so he handed the envelope to Miller again.

"Wait a minute. Miller spoke, then got up and lit the oil lamp beside him, and although the light was not very bright, it was not a problem to read the text of the letter.
