Luckily for the bells, the two were not targeted by thieves and robbers, and although they paid for it with a gold coin when they checked in, there were so many people who had been generous these days that a gold coin was nothing in their eyes.

There were not only large families who moved out of the city of Hitra, but also some ordinary people. When the family moves, there is naturally a lot of money on them. These people have neither personnel protection nor martial arts, and at most they can pull out their swords to scare and scare people, but in fact they are useless.

There have been many incidents of theft and looting on the main road for several days, and the Empire has had to send troops to deal with it. However, this does not play a substantial role, at most it is just a psychological comfort for the traveler.

In order to reduce the number of cases, and also to suppress thieves, the Empire issued a bounty notice, and those who have made meritorious contributions to the arrest of thieves and robbers can receive corresponding rewards in the inn.

Since the notice was issued, a series of detailed names have been listed on the hotel's bulletin board. Whether it is a brave or a mercenary, as long as you can catch a thief or a robber, you will be rewarded according to the quality and quantity respectively. Of course, there must be conclusive evidence to catch a thief or robber, and if the evidence is insufficient, there will be no reward or even a corresponding punishment.

In addition to some basic bounties, there are also large special bounties on the bulletin board. It's usually some famous or powerful character, some of them are the leaders of the bandit group, and some are highly skilled thieves.

Mercenary groups, organizations of the brave, or individuals of superior strength can choose to complete bounties to receive high rewards. Of course, these actions are based on the principle of autonomy and voluntariness, in the process of carrying out the task. No one was responsible for all the casualties.

At the bottom of the bulletin board. It is the content of non-government rewards. People can put bounties here. The bounty used to recover finances or hire bodyguards is also paid entirely by the person offering the bounty.

The day after Bell and Annesha arrived at the hotel, the content of the bounty mission was revised again, and the good feedback from this initiative made the officials take the matter more seriously.

Therefore, the content of non-government bounties was not regulated before, and bandits and thieves pretended to be brave men to take on bodyguard tasks, resulting in the loss of life and property of some employers, which prompted the first cooperation between the empire and the mercenary union.

In order to ensure the quality of the employees. The Empire stipulates that only mercenaries who are members of the Mercenary Guild can perform bodyguard missions. Mercenaries must hold a medal issued by the Mercenary Guild in order to receive the corresponding quest at the hotel.

At the same time, in order to prevent criminals from assassinating mercenaries holding medals in order to seize medals, the mercenary union is preparing a strict registration review system.

In order to ensure that each medal belongs to its original owner, the three major forces of the Empire, the Mercenary Guild, and the Divine Hall have further cooperated. The Mercenary Medal is made by the priest of the shrine, and its main material is a special material called the Quentin Gem, which has the power of life connection after being blessed by the sacrifice.

The so-called life connection is the ability of the gemstone to connect with its owner. The blessed Quentin gemstone is a pale blue gemstone, and when its owner drops blood on the gemstone, the gemstone becomes a translucent pale blue color.

When the gem is three meters away from the holder's side. Quentin gems will revert back to an opaque pale blue stone, while the gem is still active. When the wielder comes within 3 meters of the gem again, the gem will still revert to translucent.

However, when the owner dies, the gem ceases to be inactive, and the gem remains opaque forever. Even if you take the gem to the shrine again, it is useless to find a sacrifice blessing.

This quentin gemstone is generally used as a medal for generals in the army, and it is ...... in the people This gemstone is often used for jewelry and gifting.

Since the activity of gemstones can only be triggered by the blessing of sacrifices, most of the folk circulation is rough stones. Occasionally, some of the Quentin gems are activated, which is also a blessing that the rich have spent a lot of money in the temple.

Quentin gemstones are not uncommon among the people, and active quentin gemstones are not extremely rare, what is really rare are live gemstones that have no connection with humans.

After receiving a blessing in the temple, a gemstone will immediately establish a life connection with people, and there is almost no one who does not establish a life connection with a gemstone after receiving a blessing.

And the most important point is that once the Quentin gemstone is in an active state, its form cannot be changed again, and if it is forced to modify its form, it will immediately become inactive.

This time, the Imperial and Mercenary Guild and the Temple are training in order to make a new mercenary badge out of Quentin gems, so that they can distinguish the identity of the real mercenary.

However, the workload of this work is undoubtedly huge, and even if the state forces intervene, it cannot be produced and distributed in a day or two.

As a result, non-governmental bounties will be suspended until the new badge is widespread. But that doesn't stop people from hiring bodyguards to keep themselves safe.

In the inn where Bell and Annesha are located, there are mercenary-like people looking for employers. The two men in military uniforms were considered by many to be mercenaries or brave men, and they had already been noticed on the first night, and the next morning they were asked if they would be willing to accept the hire.

Since coming out of the village of Loire, Bell has never been truly free, and his knowledge of the world has only stayed in the border area.

He had heard about Quentin Gems, but he had never actually seen anything like it. The new bounty system also fascinated him.

As for the mercenary union, it is just a simple word that exists in my mind, I saw mercenaries when I was a child, but I was not impressed by them. I've never liked the temple very much, but I didn't expect it to really have mysterious powers.

Things that I never thought were happening around me, and what could not be true? Just looking at the guests in the hotel, almost one in five was not an ordinary traveler.

Among these people are thieves, robbers, mercenaries, brave men, and some armed men who don't know what camp they belong to...... When I think back to the places I have walked before, it seems that there are people of various professions passing by, but I have never thought carefully about them.

All I could think about was how to survive, how to find the survivors of the Loire, how to find Miss Hertzkoch...... Sitting at the table in a daze, the cup in his hand hung to his lips, and the traveler on the side asked again, "May I ask you two brave men in the journey?" I don't know where your destination is, if you don't dislike it, can you go with me, I will give a certain reward." (To be continued.) )
