Chapter 34: The Hunters' Guild
I don't know why, he always has a bad premonition in his heart.
Oscar Sauron smiled a little weirdly: "Remember that mysterious voice you said?" Unfortunately, after our judgment, she is the person we are looking for, although I don't know why she wants you to commit suicide, but it is certain that you are very important, so using you as bait, there is a certain chance to lure her out. ”
Sean's eyes froze, and his mind couldn't help but think of the soft voice full of magic that night: Go to Port Philids, go, young man, jump bravely, your family is waiting for you in the sea.
His face was a little ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who is she?" ”
Oscar Soren said with a solemn look in his eyes: "A very dangerous and strong man, as for how dangerous it is, I can only tell you that when I meet her, I am afraid that I will not even have a chance to escape." ”
"......" Sean's face gradually turned pale, and he slowly squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying from between his teeth, "Captain, this joke is not funny. ”
"I'm not kidding." Oscar Soren said with a serious face, "Although I will die when I meet her, but you are different, judging from your experience these few times, it seems that she does not want or can't kill you with her own hands for some reason, so you are the best bait." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, and without waiting for Sean to speak, he continued: "By the way, you are not the only one participating in this bait operation, Professor Arya will also participate in the way of bait, after all, in Rex's case, she was also a victim, and she was assassinated like you. ”
Yes!?
Sean was startled and hurriedly said, "Professor Arya is okay, right?" ”
Oscar Soren smiled slightly, "You are close to Professor Arya?" ”
Sean raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes and said, "Captain, you are asking knowingly." ”
He didn't believe in the powers of the Light, and he wouldn't be able to find out what had happened between Professor Arya and his aunt.
Oscar Sauron really didn't continue the topic, but smiled: "Of course Professor Arya is fine, not only is it fine, she has already taken the secret fruit of my path last night and became a Sequence Nine night visioner, hmm...... Unfortunately, she ultimately chose to join the Esoteric Retreat instead of the Transcendental Squad. ”
Speaking of this, he paused and added, "Of course, as a party to Rex's case, she is obligated and willing to join this operation as a bait. ”
The underlying meaning of this sentence is to tell Sean: don't think about rejection, and promise to be a bait is your only option.
Although he was not pointed at a gun in his head, Sean still felt the pain of being manipulated, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and saying, "Then what am I going to do?" And, what does this have to do with giving me that revolver? Do you think I could kill her with this revolver? ”
"No, no, no!" Oscar Soren waved his hand with a smile on his face that sent chills down Sean's heart, "This revolver is not for you to kill her, but to prove that you are the real murderer of Detective Douglas Andreich." ”
Sean was stunned for a moment, speechless for a long time.
"Hehe, don't be surprised, although Douglas is just an ordinary person for us, in the detective circle, he is also a well-known detective, so the question is, why would such a person take a commission that is obviously problematic?"
Speaking of this, Oscar Sauron paused, with a strange expression on his face: "Visually confirm that Sean Victoria walked out of 43 Garden Street alive before November 4th, and the honorarium is 200 gold coins?" ”
......
Tulip Neighborhood, on the street of Liberty Street.
Sean looked at the four huge words "Hunter's Guild" on the door sign directly in front of his head, and at the same time felt unbelievable, he felt that all this was so natural.
He had envisioned many possibilities for the Lightseekers to disguise their identities, such as bars, chambers of commerce, and even mercenary squads, but he had no idea of the unofficial organization of the Hunters' Guild.
The Hunters' Guild originated in the era of the First Roman Empire, and it is said that there were a lot of monsters, monsters, and even terrible half-orcs and other monsters in Shanghai on the Western Continent at that time, so for the safety and survival of the human race, some heroes who were sung by bards jointly established the Hunters' Guild, calling on every imperial warrior to become a glorious demon hunter and fight for the human race.
It is said that in that era, the status of the witcher was more revered than the warriors of the empire, and even the great First Emperor of Ancient Rome was a powerful witcher who stood at the top.
With the passage of time and historical changes, this long-established guild organization has not been drowned in the long river of history, but has survived tenaciously, but this non-governmental organization has been strongly controlled by the officials of various countries, and the demon hunter has gradually changed from a full-time demon hunter to a bounty hunter who has a comprehensive business and lives on a reward.
Official organizations such as the Light Bearer, the Machine Heart, the Child, and the Night Nobles are registered with the Hunters Guild under the name of the Bounty Hunter Squad.
However, according to Sean's speculation, these official organizations must also have the task of secretly supervising the Hunters' Guild, after all, every registered bounty hunter squad or individual bounty hunter has a legal gun license.
Touching the revolver in his pocket, the corners of Sean's mouth gradually became bitter, although he had guessed that this operation would definitely not be so simple, but he didn't expect that the captain would let him be a bait.
He was even arrested by the police on suspicion of killing Detective Douglas Andrezzi.
Thinking of this, the conversation he had with the captain before leaving resurfaced in his mind again:
"Captain, I can be a decoy, but what about my aunt? What did she do? She must not be able to accept this situation. ”
"Don't worry, your aunt won't be able to see you lately, huh...... The kingdom's navy has discovered an ancient tomb of the Cadiz family in a deep trench in the Lesubi Sea, which has unearthed many antiquities and documents, and in order to unravel the secrets, the kingdom has secretly transferred these items to your aunt's Hogg Academy...... It should not be surprising that Professor Arya is the only scholar in the kingdom who has studied the Cadiz family deeply, and in the event that she is unable to do so, your aunt, as her right-hand student and who also has a lot of research on the Cadiz family, will be the only choice for Hogg House. ”
“...... What about Professor Arya? Didn't you say she's also a decoy? I don't need to talk to her? ”
"No, you're on a different mission than hers, all you need to do is your normal reaction when you're wronged."
Your normal reaction when you have been wronged...... Sean silently repeated this sentence several times, and gradually understood the point of this mission.
Perform!
That's right, it's to perform in your own true colors.
Thinking about this, he took a deep breath and turned to walk in the direction of home......
