The original intention was to earn a winter fund by going north, but I didn't expect to come back to Devonburg, and the time had come to the end of spring.

At the end of this long journey, the three bounty hunters were paid more than expected, and each of them doubled their gold coins, so that the shy dwarven warriors in their pockets would walk with the wind, and they were also very tolerant of the trouble of not going to the old vulture, and the taste of money made him very happy to forget about being concealed by the other party, after all, as a result, the old vulture did make a lot of money for him this time.

Laura is no stranger to this, the scar has forgotten the pain, and it is not the first time I have seen it, maybe only if I fall on a big heel once, and the fall is hard enough and painful, Gerak will really realize the seriousness of the matter, instead of losing money all day long.

Pierce was much better, and when he returned to Devonburg, he didn't spend a lot of gold in a tavern with someone all day, buying drunk, and seemingly spending a lot of gold in a plan.

A large amount of income, once again giving bounty hunters the opportunity to indulge in a little.

One day, when Laura was going to Uptown to buy a new bow for herself, she met a boy she hadn't seen for nearly a year, who had been dying at the first meeting and was now a lively child.

The boy was also followed by a man with a smile on his lips, looking a little uninhibited.

Residents of the Lower Town who wish to enter the Upper Town will need to pay a security deposit of five gold coins to the guards if they do not have a French-approved pass, which you can get back from the guards when you leave the Upper Town. If you make trouble while in Uptown, not only will you be punished by the law, but your five gold coins will also be confiscated and you will lose the opportunity to enter Uptown forever, provided that you leave Devonburg Prison alive.

After Laura handed over the five gold coins, she quietly followed behind one big and one small, and from the way the two got along, it seemed that this man was most likely a friend of Mr. Merchant. The boy talked and laughed with the man along the way, and sometimes he could make grimaces, and the cheerful smile on his face made Laura feel at ease, and Mr. Merchant really kept the original agreement, and he took good care of the boy.

Just as Laura was about to leave with peace of mind, the man suddenly turned around and beckoned to her, which made Laura feel a little embarrassed, she thought that her tracking skills were still remarkable, but she didn't expect that her existence had been detected by the other party.

"Is there something wrong?"

In the face of the man's inquiry, Laura first glanced at the boy, but the boy gave her a confused look, Laura felt a little disappointed, but it was normal, after all, the boy had been in a coma at that time, and it was normal not to recognize her.

"My name is Laura and I'm a bounty hunter. "I've had the opportunity to travel with Mr. Merchant once before. ”

"Oh, you're one of the three?" the man seemed curious, "Hello hello, my name is Hank, and this little guy is Mike." ”

Mike nodded cooperatively, as if he had said hello.

Laura: "Nice to meet you, little Mike. ”

Hank: "You're in Uptown?"

Laura: "Well, I'm going to buy a new weapon. ”

Hank slapped his thigh and said, "Coincidentally, we happened to be going to the blacksmith shop too." ”

Mike: "Ah, we're not here to buy food ......."

Hank interrupted, "By the way, all by the way." ”

Under the man's decision, Mike had no right to object and had to let it go, and Laura was polite and didn't know how to refuse, so the three of them had to go together.

Walking on the road, Mike suddenly asked, "Sister Laura, you said you traveled with the store manager, where did you go?"

Store manager?

When he first heard this title, the bounty hunter didn't realize that he was talking about Mr. Merchant, but after thinking about it, the manager of the antique store was also appropriate.

Laura: "Yes, Mr. Merchant and I and two of my other companions have been on a trip to Shadow Wolf Mountain, actually, but it should be a bounty mission for us, we are responsible for escorting Mr. Merchant and protecting his personal safety. ”

The boy looked like he was, and didn't ask any more questions, but the bounty hunter didn't want to end the conversation so quickly, she wanted to talk more with the boy.

Laura: "Does Mike now work in Mr. Merchant's antique shop?"

Speaking of this, Mike looked a little proud: "Yes, I'm a shop clerk now, and I'm in charge of all things big and small. ”

Hank interjected, "Most of the time it's a trifle. ”

"It doesn't make sense of my importance!" Mike stressed.

The man shrugged.

Good Luo, if you say it's important, it's important Luo.

The boy was very unconvinced by the unbeaten expression, and immediately argued with Hank. Seeing this, Laura laughed, this is what a child should be.

After that, the three of them came to the blacksmith shop, and the boy was always very excited and focused in front of the powerful weapons, perhaps because of nature, and when Mike came to the shop, he was immersed in the atmosphere of steel alone, and he was very happy to see the weapons of different styles.

Laura is choosing alone, she trusts her own vision more than the shopkeeper's recommendation and other people's advice, in fact, in the choice of her own weapon, other people's opinions are far less important than her own senses, after all, the person who uses the weapon is you, what kind of weapon is suitable for you, no one knows better than you.

As Laura was studying a longbow, Hank suddenly approached, "Accustomed to using a longbow?"

Laura: "Not really, my bow is a little shorter than this now, but for the sake of the exquisite workmanship, I want to take a few more looks, Mr. Hank doesn't need to pick a good weapon?"

Hank: "Don't call me sir, just call me Hank, I'm not the same guy as that, I'm not used to being called that." ”

The other party squirmed from side to side, and seemed to feel very awkward about the word "sir", and the funny look made Laura laugh: "Okay, Hank." ”

The normal salutation made Hank return to normal, and nodded with a satisfied face, "Well, I'm Hank." Speaking of that guy, what do you think of the other guy?"

Laura was surprised by the question, "You mean Mr....... Merchant?" Mr. Merchant is a ...... Normal people?"

Hank's eyes widened as if he had heard something ridiculous, and he said, "Normal, that guy, I can't imagine that you are humorous, and why is it a question?"

Laura: "Because I'm a little unsure, Mr. Merchant looks like a kind antique store manager, but he doesn't know what to say. ”

"Oh?" said Hank, with interest, "what is the kindness of, and what is the feeling of not being able to explain?"

Laura frowned and thought for a while before saying: "In terms of kindness, Mr. Merchant has no shelf when communicating with us, and he doesn't want other rich people to make things difficult for you with money, on the way to Shadow Wolf Mountain, Mr. Merchant also specially prepared three meals a day for us, which tasted very good, and I was embarrassed to eat, so I asked my employer to solve the problem of food and clothing for us." He would always communicate with us, with a friendly and smiling attitude, and all in all, it was very comfortable to get along with Mr. Merchant. ”

"As for the indescribable feeling...... Laura's brow furrowed even deeper, "I don't know what to say, I don't know how to describe the feeling of not being clear, do I?"

It's really a clumsy and low-level acting.

Hank secretly evaluates someone in his heart.

As for the indescribable feeling in Laura's mouth, Hank probably knows what it is, no matter how superb his acting skills are, he will show his feet, after all, it is a false thing, which makes people feel that disobedience is inevitable, and sometimes acting too well is a kind of disobedience in itself.

Hank: "Well, I kind of know what's going on, I've decided I'm glad you get along with my troublesome old friend." ”

Since they are old friends, why do they still inquire with curiosity?

Strange, Laura didn't ask.

It didn't take long for Laura to pick a new bow, and instead of buying the finely crafted longbow, she chose to buy a weapon that suited her length.

The bounty hunter and the other two were separated from each other, and as Laura expected, the purpose of the two was not to buy weapons in the first place, to be precise, Hank came for her in the first place, but wanted to understand the personality of his old friend from an outsider who had only been with him once, and Mr. Merchant really had a strange friend.

......

...

The moon is sparse, and the moon hanging in the night sky is like a headlight, bright and dazzling.

At night, the forest is very quiet, and the animals that have been wandering around during the day return to their nests to sleep peacefully, and prepare themselves for tomorrow's life.

A little fluorescent light flies in the forest, listen carefully, you will find that the forest covered by darkness is not silent, hold your breath, you can find that there are many animals walking quietly in the dark, the night is their big stage.

Beneath the silent exterior, there is actually a lot of danger.

"Ha-ah, ha-ah"

The sound of rapid breathing attracted the attention of the whole forest, and with the help of the moonlight, a young girl was vaguely seen running through the forest, dodging the dense branches and stumbling roots, and looking back from time to time, as if something terrible was chasing her behind her.

There was a sharp pain in her lungs, and every inhaled air was tearing at the girl's internal organs, and the muscles of her feet were warning their owners that they were in dire need of rest, and so was she.

I don't know how long I ran in the long night, but under the strength of my whole body, my feet could no longer support the girl's next step, and she fell to the ground.

The girl fell to the ground panting for breath, eager to suck up all the air around her in one gulp, and she held her neck up, and in that deep darkness, it seemed as if a devil's claw was stretched out in the next moment, dragging her into the abyss.

The beating heart was not only because of the vigorous exercise, but also because of the boundless fear, but the exhaustion of the whole body hit like a wave, drowning the girl in the deepest part, and the girl lost consciousness.

Under the moonlight, in the forest, on the grass, the girl's heartbeat was still rapid, and it was accompanied by a jumping white light.
