Without saying a word, it didn't take long for the four of Lance to arrive at the city guard office located west of the city of Kohima.

It is a three-story spire stone structure that is taller and wider than other buildings.

Near the gate on the first floor, two soldiers stood straight on duty.

For the arrival of the four Lance, although it was the middle of the night, they were not too surprised.

Obviously, they had received the news of the arrival of the four Reims in advance.

The two guards saluted Lance before one of the soldiers ushered the four into the office.

In the hall were more than twenty soldiers of the City Guard in black cotton armor, who looked a little tired from sitting and leaning in the dim and flickering firelight.

When the four of Lance entered the hall, they attracted the attention of the soldiers.

The group of soldiers was stunned for a moment, and then recognized the four Lance, and the soldiers cast grateful glances at them.

You don't have to think about it to know that it was these four people who ended their long-term stay up late.

Under the appreciative gaze of the soldiers, Lance had a proud look on his face.

"To be a hero, that's what you want. ”

Lance thought to himself.

With a straight back and a smile on his face, he followed the soldier who led the way up the wider wooden staircase up the second floor.

When you walk upstairs, you will see the second floor, which is as wide as the first floor, but the decoration of the second floor is obviously much more elaborate.

On the wall facing the staircase hung several elaborate shields and crossed swords.

The decorative effect of these things is greater than the actual effect.

It is not difficult to see that the owner here should be a more "exquisite" soldier or military monk.

In the middle of the second floor, there is a large oval table, with more than a dozen chairs with high backs, neatly arranged around the table.

A somewhat old-fashioned-looking middle-aged officer was sitting at the table, leaning back in his chair a little bored, he was propping his head with one hand and tapping the table with the other rhythmically.

He must have been waiting for a while.

The guards who led the four of Lance up quickly walked to the middle-aged officer's side, and after whispering a few words in his ear, they stood behind the middle-aged officer.

The middle-aged officer stood up, holding the hilt of his sword in his left hand, and strode towards the four of them.

"You're the mercenaries who killed the ghouls?"

The middle-aged officer stopped at a distance of one meter from the four people, which was a safe social distance.

There were no polite greetings, and there was no letting Lance and the others sit down and talk.

The middle-aged officer greeted him without a trace of emotion, and asked directly.

His rudeness and arrogance made Lance and the others feel very uncomfortable.

Shouldn't Lance be treated as heroes when they kill ghouls so that the inhabitants of Cohima City are no longer in danger of being killed?

"Where's Captain Jonathan?"

Libert glanced at Lance, who was a little displeased, and asked the middle-aged officer first.

As he spoke, his eyes were still scanning left and right, not caring at all how the middle-aged officer felt.

Although Libert is usually polite and elegant, this does not mean that he does not have a temper.

Bruce knew that it would be terrible for Libert to start a fire.

"Jonathan is not here, and I will temporarily replace him as the captain of the City Guard. The guards have already reported your situation to me, and if it is really a ghoul who has committed the murder during this time, then you are the recipients of the mission bounty, congratulations. ”

The middle-aged officer's tone was still cold, and there was a hint of displeasure and coldness in his expression.

Although he said words of congratulations, Lance and the others did not feel any congratulations at all.

"You ......"

Lance is a little angry, it's just that he doesn't have the same treatment as a hero, at least he has to have a better attitude!

But this middle-aged officer was so cold and arrogant, which made him feel completely lost.

Lance, who was angry, was just about to do something, but was pulled by Liebert, and then shook his head at him.

Lance suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and nodded to Liebert.

Libert turned his head to look at the middle-aged officer, and said in the same cold tone: "We are here to receive the mission bounty, this is the heart of the ghoul, it should be used as a certificate for us to complete the mission, right? ”

"I know all this, give, this is ten gold coins, you can go. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged officer took out a velvet bag containing gold coins from his bosom and impatiently threw it to Liebert.

This velvet bag is the same bag that Jonathan took out in the tavern.

Libert took the bag, weighed it in his hand, snorted, and took the lead to turn and walk downstairs.

Since then, the cannibalism incident in Cohima City has come to an end.

And when the four of Lance left, the middle-aged officer's face showed a look of contempt.

"Hmph...... The Witcher......"

After speaking, the middle-aged officer walked up to the third floor alone.

......

Lance walked out of the city guard office, although a little unhappy with the attitude of the middle-aged officer.

But when they returned to the first floor, the soldiers in black cotton armor were given them heroic treatment.

They all stood up and high-fived and saluted Lance to express their gratitude and admiration.

This also fully satisfied the vanity of Lance and Ike.

"That's the way it should be, that stinking officer, don't let him fall into my hands, or I'll beat him all over the ground to find his teeth. ”

Lance said very unhappily.

But in a blink of an eye, he saw the velvet money bag that Libert was weighing in his hand, and immediately threw those unpleasant things out of the clouds.

Soon, several people distributed the bounty according to the prior agreement.

As for the gold coin for drinking, Libert generously handed it over to Lance for safekeeping.

In his words, Lance was invited to the meal.

"When...... Dangdang...... Dangdangdang......"

At this moment, the third bell of midnight had struck.

The rhythmic sound of the bells, echoing in the empty city, sounded a little ethereal, a little untouchable.

It seems to be telling a story that no one else understands.

It's late at night, and there are no pedestrians on the empty streets, and even the mercenaries and patrols involved in the mission have probably gone back to rest.

Lance and Ike prepare to go back to the tavern to rest.

Libert and Bruce lived in another tavern, but not far from the tavern where Lance and the others lived.

So the four of them made an appointment to go back together.

"It's amazing, I met the ghoul in a daze, and successfully completed the mission, it's a bit of a dream. ”
