The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
"It's you. I didn't expect you to be so lucky." Sean said to the other person.
To be honest, he had nothing to do with this female thief at all. At first, she bumped into him and then dropped the bounty hunter's medal here. Looking back now, the silver-level bounty hunter was definitely not her. She probably stole it from somewhere.
"What do you mean!"
"Oh, you know it's me, right? We've met before." The girl's eyes were filled with doubt.
"Didn't we meet a few days ago? In that small town."
Sean was talking about the small town where they stayed the morning after the battle with the goat men. There were only a dozen or so mercenaries present at the time, and they had all seen each other before and would never forget each other.
"That's not what I'm talking about. It was before, a long time ago. About a month ago. I wasn't sure at first, but after seeing the relationship between you and that Frelia, I was sure it was you. We met you in the small town outside Koga City. Have you forgotten?" The female thief finally talked about that incident at this time.
That day happened to be the first night that Frelia and I had just set off north from Koga City. Indeed, almost a month had passed!
"Really?"
"Even if you deny it, I know it's the Red Dragon Witch Frelia. I felt a strong resemblance to her when I saw her that day, but I wasn't sure at the time. But later I heard that she did go to Koga City and even dealt with the rioting people there."
Ordinary people said they didn't know the details of the incident. The only news that spread was that the people rioted and assassinated Earl Hamilton. So Sean expected the girl to say this.
"I've never heard of her being close to any man in all these years, until I saw you. And this time, from my observation, you were very close to her, so it must be you!"
Sean originally thought that the other party had been following him and knew about his secret talks with Frelia in the past few days.
That’s why I came up with this idea!
I told you, I never gave any indication that anyone was following me, so how could the other person know?
"Not bad."
"Humph, you can't hide it from me." The girl said proudly.
She is not tall, probably about the same age as Igonia. However, due to the different environment she grew up in, her skin color and height are not as good as Igonia's. However, her pink hair color is rare, so she is probably a member of the northwest ethnic group.
It’s the Asaman people!
Gwen, one of the earliest members of the archaeological team, was of that ethnic group, and her hair color at the time was also a very rare color.
Although Sean didn't state it directly, he obviously admitted his identity, so the girl walked up to him without any hesitation.
"Give it back to me."
"What?"
"You took it from me."
Sean fumbled for the bounty hunter's medal in his waist bag.
"This thing is not yours, right?! A platinum-level bounty hunter is not something that someone of your level can own." Sean now has a certain understanding of professional divisions and social common sense, so of course he understands these things.
"I lost it in my hand, so it's mine." The girl didn't want to admit it.
"As you wish!"
He threw the medal in his hand to the girl. Now this medal was of no use to him.
There is no need for a noble to act as a mercenary every time to participate in a mission. That little money is not enough for him. This time it was because the situation was special and time was too tight. If there is a next time, Sean is sure that he can handle it better.
"you"
The girl obviously didn't expect Sean to return it to her so easily. If that was the case, why did he say no at that time!
Suddenly he recalled that the mercenaries had been calling him Master for some time. Calling him Master showed respect and judging from the battle that day, the other party was indeed a strong man who used a musket to fight.
This kind of fighting style was something I had never seen before in all my years of experience! At least, I had never seen anyone who could fight like that with a musket.
"So you're not a real bounty hunter either?" He looked at me with some suspicion.
"What do you think?"
"How about we team up from now on? Although you are Frelia's person, she will definitely not participate in some tasks. We can team up and split all the profits in half." The girl said after a moment of hesitation.
Sean looked at each other
I didn't see any lying!
"Sorry, I have no plans to continue doing mercenary missions, and I'm not Frelia's little man!"
It's a joke that nobles themselves become mercenaries.
And you have to team up with a thief!!!
I'm not a stubborn person!
But the other party's words reminded me that in the future
What to do next.
I've been away from home for so long, it's time to go back. After going around in circles, I have finally dealt with this incident.
When did it start?
Probably when an avalanche occurred in the town of Thermian and rescue was requested, I got involved in this big circle.
The remaining days in Tacoma City will not be easy, and the Black Feather Knights may have to hold on for a while before they can leave. However, now that the fog has dissipated, airships from surrounding cities can come over.
The first batch of folk news was also spread by them, and soon there will be caravans coming to continue spreading what is happening here.
As long as the world is not destroyed at the same time, a disaster in any place will soon be known to people in other places.
When time gradually quiets down, Sean will think of Weisman's summoning ceremony again.
What exactly is this ancient god they want to summon?
Perhaps what exactly he wants to bring, including the existence of Ghroth that transcends common sense, is it?
Could it be that the Cain Slate is meant to tell the world these things?
For a moment, Sean also began to develop a strong interest in these unknown areas.
But Tacoma is not a good place to study these things.
None of the mercenary team members died this time. After a few days of reorganization in the city, Jonathan took everyone to say goodbye to Sean. Because Sean had given up the right to ask for the bonus before, he probably came to ask again to confirm this matter.
Although mercenaries are self-centered, they also value credibility, otherwise it will be difficult for them to survive in the future guild.
So we need to confirm with Sean once
This time the Tacoma matter has been completed, and no matter what the result is, we should be able to get some bonus!
Of course Sean said no, but he felt a little regretful in his heart.
There are only a few mercenaries who survived. If the 5 million gold coins were really divided, each person would have at least tens of thousands. It's such a pity that they missed out on so much money.
Now that the matter is settled, all that's left is to tell Frelia that I'm going back.
Instead of returning to the city of Lietis, he went straight back to his own town of Thermian.
