Deng affirmed his concentration and walked towards the two sheriffs at the door.

He was honest in his heart - he hadn't caused any damage or had any conflict with the authorities anyway, and despite Captain Duncan's reputation, what did the mobile catastrophe on the Infinite Sea have to do with him as an honest antique store manager?

If you think about it, the most suspicious thing about yourself is that you participated in a cult gathering - then he enthusiastically reported it after he came out!

Wait a minute...... Report?

Duncan suddenly remembered this, and immediately vaguely guessed the reason why the two sheriffs came to the door, and the steps forward suddenly became more confident, but Nina obviously did not have this calmness, she saw her uncle coming downstairs and hurriedly greeted her, and at the same time lowered her voice from an angle that the two sheriffs could not see, and said in a hurried tone: "Uncle, you must be honest when the two sheriff gentlemen ask questions......

Duncan's footsteps suddenly staggered, and he looked at his "niece" with strange eyes: "I have such an image in your heart?" ”

Nina looked at her "uncle" who had a bad reputation and was approached every once in a while for alcoholism or a casino brawl: "...... Otherwise, Mr. Sheriff, why else can you come to your door? ”

Duncan: "......"

He sighed helplessly, came to the door of the store, and showed a bright smile to the two sheriffs in dark blue uniforms: "Good morning, two gentlemen, is there something wrong?" ”

"Mr. Duncan Straine," said the older of the two sheriffs, in a polite and businesslike tone, "we have found this place at the address we have registered—the clues you reported to the patrol yesterday have been confirmed, and on behalf of the City Hall, we thank you for your contribution to maintaining order in the city-state, and we have sent you a bounty. ”

As soon as the words fell, the young sheriff next to him stepped forward and handed over a paper bag that looked a little thick.

Nina, who was standing on the sidelines, had her eyes widened.

Duncan had already guessed the intention of the two sheriffs just now, and estimated that it should be a follow-up to his previous report on the cultist's den, but he didn't expect that the reward money would be sent directly to the door, he took the paper bag a little unexpectedly, and saw the words "435 Sola" on the disposable wax seal at the place of the seal - for the residents of the lower city, this is a very generous bonus.

"So there's still money to take......" Duncan pinched the paper bag, feeling the thickness of the banknotes, "I didn't even think about it so much at the time." ”

"Of course, there is a bounty - the Archon takes the fight against evil in the city-state extremely seriously, especially in recent times, and all valid reports are rewarded with real and generous rewards," the young sheriff laughed, "not to mention the clues you provided...... Very unusual. ”

Hearing this, Duncan's heart couldn't help but move, and he pretended to ask casually: "By the way, I didn't dare to go over and take a closer look when I heard the movement over there...... What the hell is going on over there? ”

The two sheriffs looked at each other, then took two steps forward into the store, and Nina was stunned for a moment, and quickly stepped forward to close the door.

"We didn't go to the scene, the matter was handled by the guards, but according to the information that came...... The situation is terrible," said the younger sheriff, who had not yet fully learned the businesslike tone of a veteran, "and it is right that you did not approach it rashly but found the patrol officer to report it at the first time, otherwise you would be in danger." ”

The young man's voice fell, and another sheriff also spoke: "Ordinary citizens don't need to know about the specific situation, we just want to remind one sentence - there have been more and more cult activities in the city recently, don't mention the matter of you reporting and receiving rewards to outsiders." ”

Duncan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

This is the lower town, where the sewage and poison barriers fall, and the most shady things of the Poor are hidden in these shabby and winding alleys, and they are bound to hide in such places when heretics are about to move.

Although the neighborhood where the antique shops are located is considered a decent part of the city, and some distance from the most dilapidated slums, the whole of the downtown is actually about the same from the point of view of hiding dirt and dirt.

On the other hand, even if we do not consider that there may be cultists lurking among ordinary people in the lower city, a person who "reports to the authorities and receives a bounty" is very likely to be the target of vigilance here.

Sheriffs who are familiar with the situation on the ground certainly know this, and they are a routine reminder, but at the same time they do mean it.

Duncan thought about it for a moment, and felt that the reminder was right.

It's a cultist-prone place - he still has the sun emblem in his pocket.

"Thank you for the reminder," he thanked sincerely, and though he didn't know what the average of most of the sheriffs here was, at least the two in front of him gave him a good impression, "Would you like to rest here?" ”

"No need," the older sheriff waved his hand and turned to walk to the door, "We still have patrol duty." ”

The young sheriff looked back before leaving: "If you still encounter clues in this area in the future, please report it in time - the security of the city-state affects each and every one of us." ”

"Of course," Duncan squeezed the paper bag in his hand, a heartfelt smile on his face, "I have always been a good citizen who cares about the order of the city-state. ”

The two sheriffs left the antique shop of "Mr. Duncan, a good citizen", and it was not until the two uniformed figures disappeared into the street that Nina finally looked back at her uncle, who was opening the paper bag and counting the blue, blue, green and green bills inside, and the pleasant sound of the bills flipping made her feel a little more real: "Uncle...... Is this really a reward for the town hall? You're ...... Really ......"

The girl opened her mouth for a long time, but finally she was embarrassed to ask the sentence "You can really do good things".

Duncan knew what Nina was thinking, and he knew what she was wondering about, and he laughed: "It's just that when I went home yesterday, I reported some illegal behavior—uncle, I have always been enthusiastic about public welfare." ”

Nina: "......"

"But I'm surprised to have such a high prize," Duncan didn't wait for Nina to speak, then lowered his head and looked thoughtfully at the money in his hand, muttering quietly, "This is faster than making money in business......

There was another thing he didn't say: according to the information he had before, there were still many cultists from various city-states hiding in the city.

That's all money!

Nina didn't react for a moment: "Uncle, what did you say?" ”

"Nothing," Duncan said casually, waving his hand, contemplating the new way to make money, "isn't it time for you to go to school?" Don't be late for an early departure – by the way, when will Mr. Morris visit? ”

"In the afternoon, I only have one class in the afternoon," Nina said, as if thinking of something, "Uncle, you still have to go out today?" ”

Duncan nodded, "Well, I'll go out for a while, but I'll be home before your history teacher comes." ”

When Nina heard this, she immediately cast a suspicious look: "Uncle, what are you going to do?" ”

Duncan smiled brightly: "Uncle went out hunting." ”

He already had an idea, since the Sun Badge is so easy to use, and the authorities are so happy to send money, this way does not need to be in vain - anyway, even if there is no factor of "reporting and receiving money", just to ensure the stability of his surrounding environment, he is also going to trouble the cultists, and now he is sure that he can do it again after finding them trouble, why not?

Nina is a smart girl, even if she doesn't know Duncan's other details, she suddenly guessed what her uncle's words mean by "hunting", and the girl's delicate eyebrows immediately wrinkled: "...... Uncle, it's not right for you to do this, you also said yesterday that you want to open the store in a down-to-earth manner, and you also said that you want to rectify the situation in the store and recruit clerks......"

"Caring about the security of the city-state is not contradictory to opening a store in a down-to-earth manner," Duncan waved his hand, "You go to school, uncle has his own measure." ”

However, what he didn't expect was that when Nina heard this, she found a chair next to her and sat down.

"Nina?"

"Uncle, this is dangerous." Nina looked up and looked at Duncan with her eyes intrinsic.

Duncan: "Huh...... Actually......"

"I'm going to watch you," Nina sat stubbornly, "the two gentlemen of the sheriff just said that the city-state has not been safe lately...... If you accidentally encounter something, how can you take the initiative to find those dangers? ”

Duncan looked at the girl who was only seventeen years old in a bit of a daze.

He suddenly realized that the other party really cared about him—in a stubborn way that she thought was right and safe, about Uncle Duncan, who in her eyes was "seriously ill for many years, frail, reckless, and recently desperate to make money."

"I don't want a bike." Nina lowered her head and muttered quietly.

"Let's go to school." Duncan exhaled suddenly, smiled and pressed Nina's head.

Nina looked up in surprise.

"You're right, it's dangerous," Duncan looked at Nina very seriously, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm waiting for you to come back in the store." ”
