As soon as Kane entered the bakery, he heard a diminutive, bloated Tammy cursing the sheriffs, and the homeless man who had caused him to pay a few more silver coins was on his list of curses.

Tammy was tired of scolding before he muttered to himself viciously: "Sooner or later, I will ask you bastards to eat poison and make you eat and fall straight like rats in the sewers!" ”

Kane, who was picking bread, almost dropped the bread on the ground with a shake of his hand, and he doubted that this fat man would really do such a thing one day, and it would be better to come less in the future.

Kane bought cheap brown bread in the shop, crudely made, but filling enough.

As he paid the bill, Kane pulled a gold coin out of his pocket.

Tammy's eyes lit up when he saw the gold coin, and when he saw Kane's dress, he said in an unfriendly tone, "Boy, is this gold coin clean?" You can't steal it from anywhere, right? ”

It's true that Kane doesn't look like someone who can get a gold coin, especially at this time.

Tammy didn't dare to accept this kind of gold coin, and if he did, his bakery might suffer a lot.

Kane held the gold coin up in front of Tammy, then slammed it on the counter, "Look! I can guarantee that this gold coin is cleaner than your wife's body! ”

Kane, who was underestimated by Tammy, said in an unhappy mood.

Tammy was also frightened by Kane's confident momentum, although the boy who was a head taller than him looked very down, but it was certainly not an easy thing to get the gold coin.

He still dares to look down on ordinary petty thefts, cold-eyed ridicule and even spit on them, these people are cowardly and think they are inferior, so naturally they don't dare to return the color. If he encounters some ruthless characters, he will never dare to do this, for fear that others will slap him and beat him.

And Tammy's definition of ruthless characters is also very simple, that is, those who dare to fight back and mock him head-on.

Tammy was slowly taking change, and muttered as if he was still unconvinced, "My wife's body is not very clean, and I knew that she had slept with several men when I married her." Who knows if there's anything really clean in this world. ”

Tammy apparently disagrees with Kane's words, and even more dislikes Kane's comparison of his wife's body to this coin, which he thinks is certainly not as clean as the money he makes every day.

Kane took the seven silver coins that Tammy handed him and said to Tammy with praise, "That's really congratulations, you have no small ability to marry her from so many men's beds!" ”

Tammy heard the mockery, but he didn't dare to punch Kane in the face a few times, and continued to babble and curse, busy with business.

As it approached noon, there were more and more pedestrians on the streets, and now passers-by were breathing a little more life into the streets than in the morning.

After Kane finished buying bread, he went to the blacksmith shop and bought a few traps and short blades for self-defense, and after buying them, he went home with a bunch of things.

......

The Hunter's Tavern in Ilo is a place where all kinds of rangers and bounty hunters in the city meet, and there is not only cheap liquor, but also a lot of valuable information. Some low-level bounties will also be issued here, and the tavern is more of an information buying and selling station in general.

The messy tavern was filled with smoke, and the shouts and curses rang out incessantly, one higher than the other. Bounty hunters, rangers, criminals, etc., dressed in strange costumes and of all colors, have either wine glasses or pipes in their hands, and even hallucinogenic items.

It's like a den of criminals without legal constraints.

Frass sat down dejectedly next to a table of guests playing cards, clutching an empty wine glass in his hand and his eyes full of chagrin. Whenever there was an exclamation at the next table, he turned around and craned his neck to see who had just won.

As a member of a team of five bounty hunters, their team hadn't been open for a long time to make money, and his captain's brother Nerm gave him two gold coins before leaving, so that he could stay in the tavern for a few days, and the four of them were going out to find some work.

At the very least, he had to earn some living expenses to survive for a few days, and Nerm knew that his brother liked to gamble, and when he left, he specially instructed him not to take the two gold coins to the gambling table, otherwise he would wait to starve to death.

Fras, who got the money, forgot all about his brother's instructions after he left the house, and spent all the money in just two days.

He was now worrying about the rest of his life when a familiar and angry voice sounded behind him, and a large strong hand grabbed him by the back collar and dragged him away like a dog.

"Oh yes, I told you not to touch that damn table, did you let my words go like a fart! Your hard-earned money was gambled by you in two days, and I really should have chopped off these two dogs' claws! ”

Nerm threw Frass into a corner with all his might, and his fists kept beckoning at him, then he stood up again and kicked Fras hard.

After most of his anger was gone, Nerm looked at his brother who was lying in the pile of food scraps viciously, and his anger completely disappeared when he looked at those frightened and aggrieved eyes.

"How many are left?" Nerm asked angrily

Fras, who was beaten to a lost temper, resignedly said, "It's gone."

Nerm almost made up for him twice.

Although I wanted to beat him again, it was so far that no matter how much I beat Frass he wouldn't get the money back. Nerm could only swear again in his heart that he would never give the money to Flas again.

At this moment, a man with dyed yellow hair and a scar on his face came to the vacant seat next to Niels and sat down, and looked at Fras on the ground with disgust. Valerian is a loyal follower of Niels because Niels is strong enough.

In the five-person team, not only Valerian was deeply convinced of Nerm, but the couple who were tracking the target also listened to Nerm's command.

But they looked down on Frass who had nothing but gambling, and if it weren't for Nerm's face, they would have kicked Fras out of the team.

Nerm asked for a beer, "Rocky, have they found their target?" ”

"The Micinro district has been found, and the two of them have already rushed over early. It is enough to deal with an ordinary person, and the cooperation of the two of them is more than enough. ”

Nerm nodded.

A few days after the four of them went out to look for the bounty order, they stumbled upon a pauper's bounty with two gold coins. For a powerful bounty hunter, this quest is not worth watching at all, but for a small team like theirs, it is a decent income.

Nerm took this rare opportunity and immediately asked Rocky and Jonny to see the situation.

He was not worried that the injured Frass would stay in the tavern for too long, and he was afraid that he would cause trouble again, so he went back to the tavern first.

"In that case, we don't have to go over and wait here for the two of them to come back. After taking the bounty, he hurriedly left for the Cisse dynasty, and Baron Udiruf was already urging. ”

Frass trembled and walked to the empty seat opposite and sat down, and asked cautiously, "Brother, will the Baron really take us in?" ”

Nerm replied in the affirmative: "Of course! Our friendship is deep. Here, I warn you once more, don't get me into trouble again, or I'll break your legs, and don't think that if my mother told me to take good care of you before she died, you can let me wipe your ass every time you get in trouble! ”

Frass was pointed at his head by his brother and warned in a stern tone.

He craned his neck and nodded timidly.

The shrunken turtle of Frass looked like a waste in Valerian's eyes, and the contempt in his eyes was even more obvious.

When Kane returned home, Arya had been waiting for a long time, and today she went to the almshouse to collect the wheat. The guards on the side saw that she was a girl and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but let her dodge.

The guard, who didn't succeed, scolded and walked away, saying that the next time he saw her, she would be left empty-handed.

Arya boiled some porridge with wheat, and Kane pushed the door open and smelled the fragrance wafting in.

Kane went into the kitchen and took out the ingredients he bought, washed them and put them in the pot.

Arya sees Kane working alone in the kitchen and wants to go up to help, but Kane refuses.

After a long day's work, Kane brought out steaming food, and Arya served the porridge.

Drinking steaming porridge and munching bread. Arya felt more satisfaction than ever, since her parents died, she and her brother had never had a full meal, and after his death, she was like a lonely soul wandering in the world. Thinking that she would die in the dark alley of winter, she accidentally met Kane, and Kane took her home.

She looked up at Kane, who was concentrating on eating, and a feeling suddenly rose in her heart.

Perceiving her gaze, Kane asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Arya's cheeks were slightly red, and she turned her head and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of some things from before." ”

Arya swore in her heart that she would be a useful person in the future and follow him forever.

After eating, Kane retreated back to his room, leaving Arya to clean up the table.

Kane picked up a trap, snapped its sharp teeth like the mouth of a beast into the ground, and gently poked the trigger with a thin wooden strip.

There was a click, and the wooden strip was simply "bitten into" into two pieces, which looked very powerful, reaching the level that Kane expected.

However, a few traps alone did not hurt much, and in order to avoid this unknown danger, he still needed to make more preparations, so he took out some gadgets that he had tinkered with for a long time to redesign, and some of the hidden weapons were also coated with some drugs that paralyzed the nerves.

Then Kane took them all to the hallway, and put them in some hidden places, such as the tattered garbage, the piles of broken furniture, and he arranged them as much as he could.

He had laid out almost ten traps in total, and he remembered the locations of these traps clearly.

Standing in front of the door, Kane looked at this dangerous corridor and felt a lot more relieved. The reason why they dare to place a trap like this is because the people here have been short of food since the onset of winter. The people who lived here were basically gone, and they had gone elsewhere to seek refuge with relatives and friends or move south in search of life, and Kane was basically the only occupant of the entire building, and he didn't have to worry about these traps being triggered by others.

Kane prayed silently in his heart, hoping that he would easily survive these few days and wait for Virgin's arrival.
