Later that day, the Water Snake Town Adventurer's Guild sent a clerk to the door to confirm that the bounty mission issued by Victor and the others had been delivered. Harvey pressed his fingerprint on the animal skin document, which meant that the large bounty now belonged to Old Wolf, the leader of the thieves in Water Snake Town.
This is somewhat funny. The mission of offering a reward to a thief ended up with the thief taking away the reward.
In a place as big as Water Snake Town, without the protection of the Thieves Guild, Stephanie would have been dragged out in exchange for a huge bounty no matter how clever she was. Perhaps the old wolf couldn't bear the pressure from adventurers and townspeople, so he had to hand over the thieves under his banner.
Although this goes against the rules of the Thieves Guild, it also calms down the turmoil caused by the huge bounty in the town.
Neither Harvey nor Maddie thought deeply about the reason. After all, Stephanie was just a teenage girl, so it was normal for the Thieves Guild to treat her as an outcast. Even if she has outstanding talent and full potential, it will take time and resources to become a powerful professional.
What the future holds for Stephanie is anyone's guess.
The clerk got the paperwork signed by the employer, said goodbye politely, and then hurriedly left the rental house.
Harvey folded his arms and stood at the door, scanning the corners of the streets and alleys with fierce and sharp eyes, but found no one following him. It seemed that all the informants arranged by the town guard were frightened by him, and they did not dare to appear in his sight these days.
With a creak, Harvey closed the door and turned around to see Stephanie washing Ruth and Jessica's hands. He couldn't help but shake his head and muttered: "5,000 gold pagodas, enough to buy 20 young and strong barbarians." A slave girl, but in exchange for a skinny little child.”
"You know nothing." Maddie said to him rudely.
McGrady has trained more than a dozen secret hunters. The town of Braun has undergone drastic changes. His students have died and scattered. It is not known whether those scouts who were lucky enough to survive can be reunited in the future. Fortunately, as a top level four dark hunter, even if he loses most of his power, he can still teach the awakened ones.
The adventurer's home in Braun Town absorbs top level four professionals. Most of them are disabled during adventure activities, but they can serve as instructors in training camps and teach the Dharma to the mixed-race children of the Hemer tribe.
Harvey is not qualified to pass the law, but he believes in the experience and vision of his old buddy McGrady. If Stephanie really has the chance to become a Venerable, she will definitely be able to relieve Master Victor's worries.
How can twenty strong barbarian female slaves be compared with a level five dark hunter?
Harvey's eyes became softer when he looked at the little girl, and he thought to himself: Cole, you, a lecherous old doctor, must not die at the hands of an orc.
Cole, the doctor in the Adventurer's House, is also an indispensable role in cultivating professionals, and his role is even more important than that of a preacher.
When they and Cole parted ways during their escape, Victor and his group broke into the shadow lurker's forest and took on the responsibility of attracting the pursuers. Dr. Cole's team should have more chances to survive.
Harvey also counts on Doctor Cole to help Master Victor train a steady stream of capable subordinates. Now he often thinks of the benefits of Doctor Cole, hoping that he can escape the pursuit of orcs and barbarians and wait to be reunited with everyone in Sands Town. .
Stephanie is not very old, but she is a smart and sensible little girl, and she is very observant. She was very aware of her status, rushing to do the work, cooking, washing, cleaning, and taking care of Jenny and Jessica. She was like an energetic, hard-working and capable little maid, taking care of all the chores in the rental house in an orderly manner. .
Harvey and Maddie originally had to do these trivial things every day. Although they were not tiring, they were indeed a waste of time. Harvey and Maddie felt relieved now that Stephanie was taking care of them. The only regret is that Stephanie's cooking skills are really terrible, and the food she makes is unflattering. Fortunately, it was common for Harvey and the others to eat and sleep in the open. As long as they could eat enough, they would not be picky about the taste of the food.
Victor only wakes up once every other day and night, eats briefly, deals with personal issues, and listens to the intelligence information collected by Harvey. Then he goes to sleep again and never interferes with Stephanie's affairs.
Time passed like this, and on the sixteenth day of the blockade of Water Snake Town, a group of guard soldiers finally came to the door.
There were five of them in total, wearing leather helmets and carrying long and short weapons. They walked menacingly through the alley and arrived at the steps in front of the rental house. When Harvey violently opened the door from the inside, he stopped their actions with cold eyes and undisguised contempt.
This group of heavily armed guards immediately retreated, like a mouse encountering a cat. Under the gaze of natural enemies, they had nowhere to hide but did not dare to move.
In fact, weapons and armor have a hidden property - giving them courage and recklessness.
Half-elves have neither the power of minions nor the possession of scale skin, but they are equipped with tough armor and have sharp weapons in their hands. Ordinary civilians will also have more courage, invisibly improve their own spirit, and become brave and possessive. Aggression.
They are protected by armor, so they may not be injured if they are hit. If the sharp blade in their hands hits the enemy, it may kill them.
This is by no means an illusion of the guard soldiers. Strengthening defense and attack as a common cognition can indeed change the mentality of half-elf soldiers.
After all, a sixth-level venerable is still a body of flesh and blood. He can bleed, be injured, and can be killed by swords.
Several heavily armed Guardsmen faced an unarmed Harvey, and it was easy to establish a psychological advantage. As for Harvey, who could easily kill a few ordinary guards, it was not a real danger that they could realize.
These days, Harvey openly beats and humiliates the guard sergeants on the streets of Water Snake Town. Many young and energetic guards are holding back their anger and always want to take revenge on him. But when they saw Harvey in person, they were afraid again.
Because, Harvey is a servant of a famous noble family, and the noble family does not need to be responsible if they want to kill a few ordinary guards. At most, they will lose money.
Harvey's group happened to be rich and powerful. Perhaps with just one word, they could take off their standard leather armor and turn them into lower-level civilians.
The army soldiers of the Disa Alliance were naturally shorter than the famous nobles. They were so frightened by Harvey's gaze that they didn't even dare to breathe.
Although the Water Snake Town Guards all believed that Victor and others came from noble families in the Highlands, their noble status was not confirmed. The leading soldier regarded them as ordinary travelers, tightened his face, and said with a stern tone: "I... We received a report that you are harboring a fugitive from Island Street. I...I want to search this room now. Oh, no...we were ordered to search...yes, we were ordered to search!"
The notorious female wolf-herder Bertina once settled on Island Street in Beibang, Luoye City. Therefore, all the residents of Island Street were judged by the Supreme Council of the Disa Alliance as associates of the female wolf-herder. In the name of catching fugitives from Dao Street, the sergeants of the Luoye City Public Security Department took advantage of the situation, bullied men and women, and did many dirty things. Ordinary people would have to shed their skin if they were to be associated with the Island Street fugitives.
Harvey did not forget that back in Braun Town, the famous Golden Oak dragoons also slandered Wiltok as an accomplice of the Wolf Shepherd Girl and planned to arrest Wiltok without any reason.
Now, the Water Snake Town Guard actually charged them with the same crime. Harvey suddenly became furious and stepped forward to push the guard leader in the chest.
"roll!"
The soldier only felt a huge force coming, and his legs retreated uncontrollably for more than ten steps. The speed of retreat became faster and faster, and the steps became larger and larger. Finally, he really fell. On the ground, he rolled several somersaults in a row.
The half-elf residents watching the excitement around the streets all burst out laughing. The few guardsmen did not dare to retaliate, so they had to evacuate in confusion amid the laughter of the residents.
The five soldiers returned to the guard station for business. As soon as they entered the guard captain's mansion, one of the soldiers quietly left the team. There were five of them when they went there, and one more person came out on the way. When they came back, there were still five, but one person was actually missing. But they felt absolutely nothing about it, as if the soldiers who had just left the team did not exist at all.
The most terrifying thing is that what passers-by in Water Snake Town just saw were five Guards soldiers looking for trouble for Harvey, and even Harvey only saw five soldiers.
The "invisible" soldier turned into a living room in the mansion, took off his helmet, and gently threw it on the ground without making a sound, revealing an ordinary face that no one could remember.
In the living room, Anthony, the leader of the Beibang Thieves Group, seemed to "hear" the movement at the door. He turned around naturally and smiled at the soldiers who entered the room:
"Kyle Feddy, I just like your unique way of knocking on doors. You always wake up the person you want to wake up... How about that? Are you still satisfied with the target person?"
The killer king who shocked Beibang showed no expression and completely ignored the compliments of his companions.
Anthony smiled slightly. He had long been accustomed to Kelfedi's dullness, but he would never succumb to him. Even though Kyle Fedi could kill him with a little finger, Anthony still insisted on chatting with him. In fact, Kyle Fedi not only "disappears" but can also inflict nightmarish terror on those he hates. However, Anthony endured the murderous intent released by Kelfedi, and Kelfedi also endured the other party's nonsense. Even Red Sir Brad was surprised that Anthony the Awakener actually reached some kind of compromise with the Assassin Lord, as if they were a pair of old friends.
Of course, Anthony knew what was enough. He took out a piece of parchment and laid it on the table, picked up the quill filled with ink, and asked, "Okay, you can say, I'm responsible for recording."
Kelfedi spoke, his voice hoarse and erratic:
"The target Harvey is a third-level shield guard. He is physically and mentally at the top level of a dragon-veined half-elf, but he is not a dragon-veined one! He is a strong man who masters the heart of the mirror... To deal with him, I need to prepare for twenty days."
"Maddie, a level four stealth hunter, is seriously injured and poses a certain threat."
"Ruth, crazy or idiot, no threat."
"Jessica, like Ruth, is no threat."
"Stephanie, a natural awakener with agility expertise, poses a certain threat."
"Victor..."
At this point, Kelfedi paused for a moment before continuing: "Unknown."
"unknown?"
The tip of the quill drew a thick mark of ink on the paper. Anthony was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyelids and asked thoughtfully: "Can I understand that Mr. Victor you have seen is an ordinary half-elf? But we all know that Mr. Victor has extraordinary skills and is by no means an ordinary person?"
Kelfedi nodded silently.
Anthony couldn't help but take a long breath. He knew very well that Kelfedi's core secret blood ability was to see the breath, and it was difficult for targets he had sensed at close range to hide their own strengths and weaknesses.
Harvey was not a sixth-level venerable, but a third-level shield guard who mastered the Heart of the Mirror, which was enough to surprise Anthony.
However, Anthony is not worried that the King of Killers can't deal with Harvey. Although those with a mirror heart should not be underestimated, as their fighting skills are extraordinary, but Kelfedi is also a level five assassin who has mastered the mirror heart. Assassination is a perfect art for him. He said that it would take twenty days to make preparations, and he would be able to kill Harvey and escape unscathed.
The King of Killers never disappoints and Anthony has full confidence in his abilities.
However, Kyle Fedi's insight failed in Victor's case?
Anthony frowned his gray eyebrows and asked thoughtfully: "Have you ever seen Victor with your own eyes?"
Kelfedi shook his head first, and then said: "I can feel that he is sleeping upstairs. He exudes a healthy, strong, and agile aura. He is an ordinary half-elf... I can sneak in again and take a look. he."
"No, no, no." Anthony waved his hands repeatedly and said: "You are not ready yet. If you are hit by Harvey, the strong man with a mirror heart, the situation may become very bad..."
The core secret blood ability of the Shield Guard is to predict the attack and then combine the defense with the attack, especially to restrain ambushes and assassinations. Harvey is also a strong man with a mirror heart who is comparable to a dragon-veined half-elf, so Kelfedi needs time to arrange the killing in advance in order to kill Harvey. If the two of them were to fight in close combat, even if Kyle Fedi had the upper hand, he would probably be killed by Harvey's counterattack.
Anthony thought for a while, shook his head and said with a smile: "The boss has told us that we only need to hold back the target. If the situation is not good, we must first find a way to escape. Only when everything is absolutely safe, will we consider killing Victor. bodyguards and secretly kidnapped him.”
"Although I think Mr. Victor is of great value to the boss, there is no need to risk your life or mine."
"I am now very sure that Mr. Victor's origin is very simple. He is either from an ancient pillar family, or from a hidden sect in the 'High Tower'..."
"Let's see, wait... we will have a chance. The only question is whether we should seize the opportunity." Anthony murmured in a low voice.
After a period of silence in the room, Kelfedi said with a dull expression: "I have remembered Harvey, and I will go find the next target right away... Baifa Laiyin."
"Damn it! We didn't come to Water Snake Town to satisfy your desire to create 'art'... Just thinking about Mr. Victor's problem is enough to give me a headache." Anthony covered his forehead and complained dissatisfiedly.
There was a dark luster in the eyes of the King of Killers, and he said softly: "I didn't say I must assassinate them, I just carved the target in my mind in advance...kill them in my mind first."
