Chapter 165: Trading Upgrades

The bounty hunter in front of him was obviously a little stunned, and the majesty emanating from his body was also empty.

"I see, it seems that Sherman has found a powerful backstage, no wonder no one has dared to touch him recently...... In that case, let's talk about it, I don't get the bounty of Intis and Fenerport, but you can try it, and my request is 50 pounds in cash, and half of what he owns. ”

"It's just ordinary possessions, and you've got to make sure he's the trafficker Barron, not anyone else with the same name."

Sherman had mentioned these requests in a previous communication, and Angel was quick to agree.

"Of course it's him, a native of the Southern Continent, with brown skin and missing teeth, and the feldgin and Riso on this guy's bounty add up to five hundred pounds, if it weren't for Rune's wanted, how could I wait until you came to the door?"

Hugh poured another sip of ale, and with a satisfied expression on his face, continued:

"But we move fast, he only changed his residence last week, and he won't leave in a short time, but it's hard to say if it drags on for a long time, if there are no current clues, to find such a person in the East District, with all due respect, I'm afraid you won't get anything next year."

"Then gather here at ten o'clock tonight, you can pick his belongings first, but people must leave them to me."

Angel was also worried about the long nights and dreams, and the characteristics that the other party said were indeed consistent with the information provided by the hanged man, which made her determined to catch Barron today.

And at the Tarot meeting in the afternoon, he could even provide this clue to the hanged man first to "strengthen" some cooperation, after all, the bounty for "finding Barron" is 100 pounds, and "catching Barron" may be another price.

The two quickly agreed on the details of the evening, and out of trust in Audrey's friend, Angel paid half of the amount, which was £25, to the bounty hunter's face, drank the ale in the glass, and got up to leave.

After the diminutive figure staggered away from the door of the bar, Angel looked back at Sherman, the assassin who seemed to be afraid of revealing his identity as an extraordinary, and remained silent in front of Hugh, quiet as a quail.

"Miss Watson, you've known Hugh before?"

"I met in a noble salon and knew that she was extraordinary, but I didn't expect that the bounty hunter you mentioned was her."

Angel replied casually, her eyes looked at the door of the bar again, the swaying back of the girl leaving just now made her a little worried, could it be that the other party actually drank very badly?

"Aristocratic salon? I thought she was only hanging out with poor people like us, drunkards, and homeless people in the East End...... It seems that those rumors do have some credibility. ”

Sherman pushed his glass of ale away, frowned, and when Angel cast a puzzled look, he continued to explain:

"Rumor has it that Hugh Dilcha used to be a nobleman, but for some unknown reason, the family fief and title were deprived, so he changed his name and changed his surname to hide. Now she catches wanted criminals in the East End, not just for money, but for some so-called 'truth'. ”

"Aristocrats?"

Recalling the little girl's outfit in the salon, Angel was skeptical about the veracity of the rumor. But it should be true that the other party is diligent in finding the wanted criminal, after all, she was quite concerned about the matter of Lanerus before, and even caused the informant to cause murder......

The two were chatting without saying a word, when a loud noise suddenly came from outside the bar, like the sound of something smashing wooden barrels and wooden boxes, which made Sherman, who was reporting his "assassin" experience, suddenly shut up, and a trace of panic appeared on his face:

"It's over, that guy must be drunk, and he is fighting with the drunkard at the door again!"

————

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool, and everyone."

With the brisk greeting of "Justice" Audrey, the tarot meeting of the week begins.

Due to the riots in the East End at noon, Angel returned home and was dragged into the gray fog after only having time to remember a copy of Russell the Great's diary, so she looked at the others in silence at first, until she realized that no one had the intention of submitting the diary, and then she had the courage to offer it to Mr. Fool.

One is better than nothing!

This diary was read by Mr. Fool for longer than usual, and it didn't move for a long time.

The rest of the crowd were also silent, knowing that this was often an important part of Mr. Fool's diary, and that they might share it with everyone later, and that these contents were almost all valuable knowledge that was difficult to obtain from the outside world.

After several minutes of silence, hidden behind the gray mist, Mr. Fool, who was hazy, spoke:

"Sorry, I saw something interesting, you can communicate."

There was no sharing from the fools, and a deep sense of disappointment permeated the long table, but instead of grieving too much, everyone quickly began to exchange information with each other.

"Mr. Hanged Man, I found Barron you were tracking, the Southerner involved in the human trade, he is now hiding in Beckland, and the bounty hunter I hired has found his tracks."

Given that the fact that he was in Beckland had been leaked in several previous exchanges, Angel no longer tried to hide it, but started the conversation efficiently.

"Are you sure it's the human trafficker? I've received several pieces of disinformation. ”

"If it's the one who is wanted in several other countries, that's right."

"Very well, that's him, only Rune in the North Continent hasn't wanted him, he's reasonable in Beckland......" The hanged man said with a hint of surprise in his tone, "Tell me where he is, and the 100 pounds will be yours." ”

"Or we can work together a little bit further and upgrade this deal. For example, I'll help you catch him in Beckland and ask you what you need to know, and you only have to pay a small amount of gold pounds......"

Angel did not immediately tell the hanged man about Barron's location, but offered a reasonable "markup".

Otherwise, except for the 50 pounds given to Hugh Dilcha and the money spent by Sherman in the early stage, she can only earn an errand fee, which is very uneconomical.

She was ready to bargain with the shrewd hanged man, or even refuse directly, but she didn't expect the other party to ponder for a moment and actually agreed, but also put forward a new request:

"I need all the information of the human deal in which he participated, and you can only give it to me, and not sell it to anyone else, and if it happens, plus the previous part, I can pay a total of 500 pounds."

That's the equivalent of the payment for making a Sequence 5 magical item...... But he demanded that the information could only be sold to him, and was even willing to shell out 500 pounds to find clues to the human trade at any cost, could it be that he had received a commission from someone else, and the "construction period" was very tight?

This is indeed not a low possibility, and the various manifestations of the Hanged Man, as well as his knowledge of the occult, can prove that he is likely to be an extraordinary person of the Orthodox God Church, and his way is the "sailor" mastered by the Storm Church, who often goes to sea to carry out missions......

So he was asked from within the Storm Church, or rather commissioned, to look for Barron's clues, and he "outsourced" the task to the members of the Tarot Society, which was a subcontract of all evils......

There is no doubt that the hanged man who completed the task can get far more than the 500 pounds, and may even be related to his status within the church, but the wealth is moving, and it is beyond Angel's expectation to get 500 pounds, she immediately nodded in agreement, and the two reached a verbal agreement.

The usually taciturn "World" has also proposed to have people sell a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of "Werewolf", as well as to find at least 3 hairs of Naga in the deep sea.

Mr. Hanged Man, who has great powers, quickly took the commission, as if to make up for his shriveled wallet.

After that, Mr. Sun shared his drowsy daily training experience, as well as the repeated review of the outgoing team within Silver City, and after everyone made some valuable suggestions, "Justice" Audrey said in a somewhat solemn tone:

"I think everyone should have known through their own channels or in the newspapers that this generation of Duke Negan, Pallas Negan, died in an assassination last week."

No, I don't know......

Except for the fool, a full half of the six members present looked blankly at Miss Justice.

"The Magician" Furth was saving money for his "master trick" potion materials, and had locked himself in his room all weekend busy creating new works, so he had no idea about the assassination that was raging in Beckland.

"Sun" Derick Berg didn't know where Beckland was or who Duke Negan was.

The "Hanged Man" knows something about Rune's upper nobles, and is even more aware of the importance of Pallas Negan, who used to be an admiral and one of the spokesmen of the Storm Church in the military, but he has been floating on the sea recently, and the only way to communicate with the outside world even depends on the Tarot Society and Mr. Fool, when he heard this news, he couldn't help but ask:

"Prime Minister Rune's brother, the Duke Negan of the Conservative leader?"

"Yes."

Audrey's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of sadness, although Duke Negan and his father, Earl Hall, although they had different positions and even some hostile tendencies in politics, they had a good relationship in private, and shortly before his death, he even received a gift from him - a holiday estate worth nearly 10,000 pounds in Desey Bay.

Fortunately, the assassin also died on the way to escape, but this is the strangest part......

She gathered her mood, glanced quietly at Mr. Fool at the head of the long table, and continued:

"The Assassin is an 'Apostle of Desire' who can use emotions and desires to kill, and after his companions distracted the attention of Ace Snake, the 'Singer of the Gods' of the Church of the Storm, he successfully completed the assassination by using the Duke's desires when he was in a special situation, and then almost escaped the pursuit with the help of complex sewers."

"Almost?"

The Hanged Man asked eagerly, he was a little restless when he heard the Church of the Storm and the Song of God, he didn't expect that such a big thing would happen to Beckland in the short time he had been out at sea.

"Almost," Audrey nodded, "because he was found dead in the sewers, the important items he was carrying with him were gone, and he was sprinkled with tarot cards." ”
