A stout middle-aged man was walking from the port towards the town.

It was obviously the hot season, but he was wearing a black trench coat and a cowboy hat on his head.

Walking the streets in brown boots.

He was carrying a cloth bag in his hand, and it looked a little heavy.

As he walked, he could be heard humming an unknown tune, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

From time to time, the residents of the town looked at this middle-aged man with curious eyes, who had never appeared in the town.

Until he disappeared into the town.

Follow the trail until you reach the center of the island.

The cemetery on the island and where the statue of the Mother of Stone is located.

Right at the entrance of the cemetery.

Priest Pakchi was already standing there waiting silently.

Looking at the figure that was already walking towards him in the distance, he couldn't help but smile.

In a few moments, the figure came to him, and it was the strange man who had just appeared in the town.

"Andrei, you're here."

Only then did the figure raise his head and take off his cowboy hat.

He has short silver hair that is slightly dull, and his face is exposed, and he looks somewhat mature and handsome.

A conspicuous X-cross scar appeared in his left eye, but it did not hurt his eye.

He still had a cigarette in his mouth, and habitually spit it on the ground and stomped it out with his foot.

Then I saw Parridge frown.

"Okay, okay."

The man said helplessly, bent down, picked up the extinguished cigarette, and threw it into his pocket at random.

Then he said, "Tell me, what did you tell me to do here?" Is there anything you can ask me to help with? ”

Hearing this, Paritch stared at him and said unhurriedly, "I want you to help me raise a child and let him join your treasure hunt." ”

"Huh?" The man was a little surprised.

"Did I hear me right, Paris, you're going to send a child into my treasure hunt?"

looked at the somewhat surprised face of the man in front of him.

"Andrey, the kid is 16 years old," Paric said. ”

"16 years old? That's just an adult, and according to you, he must be from Homeland Island too. ”

"You know, my job isn't fun, fighting, dying is always there."

Speaking of this, Andrei couldn't help but pull out a brand new cigarette from his coat pocket.

"There's no way I'm going to take care of him because of you."

After that, he put the cigarette in his mouth and rubbed his thumb and forefinger together to light the cigarette.

He took a hard breath and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"And the main thing is that the treasure hunt is not accessible to everyone, it requires enough knowledge and experience."

"He has some knowledge and experience, and he has talent."

Hearing Pakchi's words, Andrei glanced at him with disgust.

Don't seem to believe it.

After all, this is just a 16-year-old child, and he is still a child of Homeland Island.

It's so good to be protected.

"I'm not lying, just a week or two ago, he found Jack's treasure on the island on his own."

Hear this.

"Oh?" Andrei made an interested voice.

"That magician Jack?"

"Yes."

"It's kind of interesting, but that treasure should be enough for him to live carefree for the rest of his life, right?"

Hearing this, Pakchi shook his head: "The treasure was taken first, and he didn't get anything. ”

After finishing speaking, he was stunned for a moment, reorganized the language and said, "But...... He should have gotten Jack's inheritance and experienced magical powers. ”

"Tut-tut, I guess I understand."

After listening to Puckage's words, Andre slammed his mouth and said.

"A young man who has just come of age, is interested in treasure hunting, and has the ability to really harvest, and most importantly, he has experienced the power of magic."

"How alluring is endless wealth and magical power."

Pakchi nodded approvingly.

Such a temptation is so tempting for a 16-year-old.

That's how they used to be, knowing full well that blocking would backfire.

"What's his name?" Andrei asked, with some interest.

"Arka, Arka Raghu."

"Arka?!"

Hearing Andrei's voice change somewhat, Pakchi looked at him: "Do you know?" ”

"It's more interesting, okay, no problem, I promised you, I'll accept this person. As long as he shows his potential, I will take him to 'touch'. ”

“……”

"That's what you want me to take him for, isn't it? There is no better fit than me. ”

"Okay, don't be sad, it's rare to get together, come, let's have a drink for a while."

"Okay."

…………

Alka, standing in his own small courtyard.

Next to the big tree in front of him, I don't know when there was an extra humanoid target.

It's covered with straw and all sorts of markings.

With the swing of the arm.

Two silver rays of light arced into the forehead and neck of the target.

These two silver rays were actually two cards made of metal sheets, which shimmered with sharp light.

A few more silver streaks were smooth.

It flew from all angles, stuck in the stomach and thighs, and even stuck in its back by using a whirlwind.

Then, I saw Arka stretch out his right hand and snap his fingers.

A card appeared again in his hand and was thrown out by him.

The card crossed a straight line and landed on the target's forehead.

This card has a red heart printed on it.

is the style of a playing card.

I saw that the gentleman of Arka saluted and pulled his top hat.

"Laughing."

At this time, Sigget's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Arka, Arka."

Hearing this, Arka quickly straightened up, ripped off the tie from his collar, and then took off his top hat and threw it on the side of the house.

With a casual look, he walked towards the target in front of him.

Siggert pushed open the gate of the courtyard and rushed in.

Looking at Alka's appearance, he was slightly stunned.

"Uh...... Aren't you hot? ”

I saw that Arka was wearing a white undershirt and a black vest on the outside.

Straight and neat pants and a clean pair of boots.

In the breast pocket of the vest, there is also a white scarf with a corner exposed.

"Ahem." Alka coughed without changing his color.

Removing the card from the target, he walked towards Siggett, kicking the top hat on the side of the house farther away.

Siggert looked at the metal card in Alka's hand and said with a smile, "How is it?" The workmanship is good, isn't it? ”

"Very good, I love it."

Alka had a total of 12 metal cards on his body, which he had commissioned Siggart to customize for himself when he went to Turan later.

12 spent themselves a full two silver snakes.

But it's worth it.

Perfectly met their own needs.

"Is there something wrong with you rushing here?"

"Oh, yes, yes, you listen to me." Siggert came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "There is an extra ship in the port, and I told you that the ship is very beautiful, and it looks very expensive." ”

"I heard from my uncle that there was a middle-aged man I didn't know who went to the cemetery wearing strange clothes."

"Well, do you want to go to the harbor and see the ship? It's really beautiful. ”

Hear Sigget's words.

Arka couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Strange expensive ships, strange men go to the cemetery.

Could it be that the treasure hunt group that Puckage said has arrived?

Just thought of this.

Outside the courtyard, the voice of the priest of Pakchi was heard.
