Chapter 20: The Time to Trace

Young people tend to feel unreliable when they do things, and it's hard not to wonder if such a young city lord is sitting in this position on his own. But now it seems that the city lord is not disadvantageous because of his youth, on the contrary, the desk in his study is full of a large pile of documents, and several attendants are sitting at the table quickly flipping through the documents, the sound of the paper turning is very rhythmic, but such a fast flipping speed makes people wonder if they can read the words on the documents clearly. The monotonous color of the paper makes people dizzy, this is a very tedious work, and if people with poor patience come to do it, they will probably go crazy. But they were so engrossed that they didn't notice that someone was coming.

"They are all bookkeepers. "Looking through documents is no different from looking at ledgers, and they are good at turning over boring papers." As soon as the incident happened, I went to them to check the documents. You can't slack off in dealing with the case of a magician, so as not to make any trouble, catch it as soon as possible, and sleep peacefully as soon as possible. ”

"Have you found anything now?" Mu Xi jumped out from behind Shao Xuechen, "For example, is there anyone worth doubting?"

"There are two, but they have been investigated. "As for the rest, they're still looking through the papers." Not at the moment. ”

"Wending City doesn't have an official magician, how can you check? Let ordinary people come to the door and won't be beaten?" Mu Xi said something unrealistic, and he was worried that he was seen as a follower.

"Anyone who is not sick in the brain will not do this, and they will not be able to take the anger of the Empire. Therefore, they can only cooperate honestly, otherwise they will be allowed to go to prison to reflect. The city lord turned his back and turned to leave, "There are so many documents that will not be found for a while, and I still have some things, so I won't accompany the two of you." Later, I'll have someone take you to the shower and change your clothes, and it's very uncomfortable for your wet clothes to stick to your body. ”

"Hey, what's your name?" Mu Xi said loudly at his back.

The city lord stopped, turned around and said lightly, "The surname is heavy, the single name is clear." ”

"Come with me, both of you. An attendant approached and motioned for them to follow him.

A long, translucent curtain hung from either side of the bed, and even the air seemed to be hot.

The sound of a woman squirming when she takes off her clothes arouses the little worms in a man's heart, and it is itchy and numb. She looked straight at the man, her eyes lit up with emotion, and her crimson cheeks looked like glossy apples, seducing people.

The man wrapped his arms around her slender waist as if he were holding a piece of warm jade.

Although this woman is engaged in an improper profession, I don't know how many seniors have spent the night with her, and they have fun in fish and water. But aside from all this, the woman's appearance is also good, with a small and delicate nose and thin lips, at least worth those two gold coins.

Peony flowers are also merry to be ghosts, and now I think about this sentence is really good. It is not difficult to understand why everyone wants to be the emperor, this is just a top card, so what if it is hundreds or even thousands of top cards? He couldn't believe it, and he suddenly understood why those kings would waste state affairs and fall into the arms of their daughters. Whoever it is, it's hard to choose not to be a faint king.

He is a sorcerer, but within sorcerers he is also known as the Bounty Hunter, a profession that is hired to help people solve problems, and the nature of the tasks they receive is usually in the gray area of the Empire's laws, and if they go any further, they will break the law. They do everything from helping people fix dinner tables, helping neighbors run errands to go to the market to buy groceries, helping grandmothers take care of their children...... Although this sounds a little funny, but this is the bounty hunter, as long as the price given is enough and the client guarantees that the money will reach them, they will not mind killing someone or setting a fire, and even assassinating the emperor is not impossible, although the assassination of the emperor is not very realistic, but there are not a few crazy people among the bounty hunters, for them it is a big deal to run away, there is nothing wrong with being a wanderer, at least there is money to buy alcohol and visit brothels on the road.

Bounty hunters like him are populated all over the world, with secret gathering places, managed by special people, with commissioner assignments, and all sorts of oddities. You can even find out what the emperor ate this morning, and what color the queen's underwear was wearing.

They only live the life they want to live, they claim to be a group of people who advocate "reality" and "ideals", they are only obsessed with money, dare to disrespect the emperor, dare not bow to the gods, they are a group of outlaws, living a life of dancing on the tip of a knife.

So far, the Empire has been reluctant to use force against these unruly creatures, as a large group of magicians would be able to revolt in unimaginable proportions. And the tasks accepted by bounty hunters rarely openly violate the bottom line of the empire, so the empire also has a tacit attitude towards the existence of bounty hunters.

The man was just about to lean down and kiss the woman's slender neck like a swan, when he was interrupted by a rough knock on the door, and it was a crazy thing to be interrupted at a critical moment, as if you were playing a game and finally reached the last level, but because the phone call came, you lost everything. The man got up and grabbed a piece of clothing and draped it over his body and walked out, unworn, revealing a leg with thick leg hair.

He opened the door and shouted, "Who is so blind?"

The man outside the door was wearing a black cloak, a wide and deep hat covering his face, his whole body was wrapped in black, and there was a sense of mystery that made people want to tear off his hat to find out, but who knows if there would still be a masked face under his hat? This kind of appearance in the brothel will attract some attention, because he does not look like a prostitute, but like a faceless killer. Those who walked by wanted to see what kind of face was hidden under the cloak, but all they could see was darkness.

"How are you?" The man was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and said angrily, "Didn't you say that we would never see each other again? Isn't my mission completed? Or do you want me to invite you to visit the Qinglou once?"

Mo Tian has accepted various tasks and faced many clients, but everyone pays the money with one hand and delivers the goods with the other, and in the end, the two sides broke up immediately, and no one knew anyone. But after the task was completed, the client knocked himself out of the hot bed with a woman, and it was the first time he had met him. And it stands to reason that there is no longer any relationship between the employer and the employee. He felt that he had to get an explanation, otherwise the matter would not be so easy to solve.

"We agreed that the farther you go after the mission is complete, the better. Why do you want to visit the Qinglou now?"

"Every time I finish a task, I have to relax. Mo Tian shrugged, "Wine with beauty, this is called life." ”

"Well, then I hope that after this night, you can go far so that you can go on with your life. Two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins is enough for you to squander for a lifetime. The client didn't know where to get a glass of wine, the turbid yellow liquor rippled in the glass, and through the aroma of the wine, Mo Tian immediately distinguished that this was a rice wine with a low degree. But the client doesn't seem to be able to drink very well, and he divides the wine that can be eaten three times, and it seems that it is still a little difficult.

"Brother, if you can't drink it, don't drink it. Mo Tian went to the house and took out a piece of paper and handed it out, "Look at you drinking as if you are being tortured." ”

"Thank you. The client took the paper, wiped his mouth and threw it on the ground, "I don't like to drink too much. Remember what I said, the farther you go, the better, and it's best to find a deep mountain and old forest to hide for a while, because the official has already come. If you don't do what I say, the consequences are ...... I will personally send you to the gods. ”

He didn't say that word, but spread his hands, but it was impossible for Mo Tian not to know what that word was, but he felt that this client had a lot of ideas, and threatened him to leave or die, just like he used to block the road and be a bandit, yelling at passers-by, either pay the money or die.

"Are you kidding me?" Mo Tian's tone became stiff.

"What do you think?"

The client raised his head and met Mo Tian's gaze, Mo Tian was so shocked that he wanted to jump up, he dared to pat his chest and assure that it was definitely not an eye that a human could have, although his guarantee was not worth a few dollars. For a moment, he thought that the demons had infiltrated, but the eyes of the demons were generally dark purple, never black and gold, and a pair of pupils slowly turned into vertical pupils, just like cats.

The pair of pupils seemed to be sealed with ancient fierce beasts, and the more Mo Tian looked at it, the more he felt palpitations, as if his heart was held in the mouth by a beast.

"Remember what I said. The client's pupil became round again, just as it had become a vertical pupil. He nodded, turned and was about to leave.

"What if I take your cloak off?" Mo Tian recovered from the horror just now, cold sweat was already oozing from his body, "Could it be a new race that humans have never discovered before?"

"Cats are very curious and want to see everything, but they have nine lives, and humans have only one. "I didn't say I was not human, but I was not like a normal human, just because of the blood that flowed in my body." In addition, a word of caution, prostitutes are most likely sick with their bodies. ”

"Thank you for your kind reminder, I'll remember. ”

Mo Tian looked at the client's back and was so engrossed that he didn't even notice that the woman in the lying room had put her hand into his money bag. He realized that the task he had completed should be a hot potato, and even if he lost it, it would still burn his hands. Anyway, he felt that he should run away at this moment, it was better to save his life, he was not short of money, and he could squander food, drink and have fun on the way. Bounty hunters think that money is to be spent, so the first thing they do when they receive the mercenary money is to have fun, and no one will deposit the money at all, and naturally no one will have such a thing as a deposit. Saving money is like a woman lying naked in front of you voluntarily, looking at you with big watery eyes and affection, while you don't do it because you insist that the other person is not your wife. This is simply a disgrace to the face of the bounty hunter, and if you say it, you will be laughed at by your peers.

If the purpose of making money is not to sing night and night, then making money becomes meaningless – this is a motto in the heart of every bounty hunter.

In life, living comfortably and happily is, of course, the most important thing.

The first stop he decided to go to was the Imperial Las Vegas, where he had lost all his savings and had to run out because he was in too much debt. Now that he has the money, he wants to go back to the table, turn over the book, and preferably win ten or twenty times. In order to attract the rich people, the casino there has placed a lot of flower-like girls in the casino, so that every customer sitting at the table can enjoy their services, and there are even girls from the Sith Empire, their skin is as white as milk, their long hair is as shiny as gold, and they will walk around the hall in extremely sexy, revealing clothes, wearing heavy makeup. As long as the customers need it, their blood-red lips will leave a charming and fragrant smell on your collar, their slender legs will wrap around your body, and they will softly tempt customers to throw a lot of money at the gambling table, Mo Tian lost all his money because of these women, and when he escaped from the casino, he still cursed in his heart the women who made him a poor bastard, and he also swore that he would never gamble anything again in his life.

But now when he thought of those bewitching girls, his heart tickled again, and he forgot the oath he had made. People live and work hard to make people look up for a breath, but the profession of bounty hunter is regarded as lowly, others say that it is impossible to look up, but it is different at the gambling table, no one knows who he is, he is just a heroic gambler, constantly throwing money at the gambling table to launch one big gamble after another, and his posture of throwing a lot of money is used to look up. In addition, he has to "punish" the bewitching girls who made him a poor bastard, and on the way he can only hide his name incognito to avoid the people sent by the casino to arrest him. He had no more than half of his body and could only live by digging wild vegetables, and sometimes he was not in the mood to dig wild vegetables, and he also tried to dig bark, but it was like eating sand, and his mouth was full of stubble, which was really difficult to swallow, and in the end he honestly continued to dig wild vegetables.

Sometimes, when I meet some kind-hearted people on the road, when I see him unkempt, I will generously break off a large piece of steamed bread in my hand and give it to him. He ate steamed buns and leaned against the tree, saying in his heart that the world was not so bad, at least there were people who were willing to give him their little rations.

The casino is in the easternmost part of the empire, where the sun can first be seen, and Wending City is a small city in the south of the empire, and God knows how he got here by digging wild vegetables, and he almost passed through the small half of the empire. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, he didn't know what kind of perseverance he relied on to persevere, and he had a feeling of the rest of his life.

If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing. Mo Tian thought to himself, maybe that unbearable past was a test given to him by God, although he didn't believe in the gods, but at this moment he still couldn't help but want to offer his kiss to God, although God should not accept his kiss.

Now that the official has arrived, it is not a wise choice to continue here, and the client seems to be a man of his word, and if he does not leave, he may actually die.

Mo Tian glanced at the window, which was covered by a white veil, but the light revealed from it also indicated that it was daylight, and that he could stay here comfortably for one night, but for two more gold coins, he had been living here for three days in a row.

Mo Tian lay back on the bed, thinking about what to do with such a large sum of money, in short, this time he would not bet all the money on the table again.

He didn't bother to care about the woman lying next to him stealing his money at the moment, he had money now, why not pretend to be a little more arrogant. And there is not much money in the money bag, the money is stored in the money bank, and the money bank's credentials lie quietly in the money bag. He believed that women would not be so stupid.
