Chapter 22: Heart of Ice, Sylvia
A knight and two guards disguised themselves as farmers and went with the farmers who came to report the incident, searching for the black-haired boy.
They didn't need to arrest Miss on the spot, they just needed to confirm his location first and then wait quietly for reinforcements from the royal capital.
Along the way, I didn't encounter the black-haired boy.
"What's going on? Didn't you say we could meet if we just follow this road?" a guard asked impatiently.
The farmers were panicked. They saw with their own eyes the black-haired boy walking on this road. He must be going to the town. How could they not meet him?
Seeing the farmers looking at each other in bewilderment, another guard became puzzled, "You fools, are you trying to defraud the kingdom of its bounty?"
Although the wanted poster only states that the reward is for the person who catches the person, the person who provides information can also get a reward.
After hearing what his men said, the knight felt that he had been deceived by these farmers.
The knight drew out his sword with a clang, stuck it into the ground, and stared at the farmers.
The farmer was almost frightened by the sudden cold light and quickly knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
"Sir Knight, please spare my life."
"We really saw it, a black-haired boy, absolutely!"
The noisy noise attracted a bearded man. He was sturdy and stood there like a small hill. He had a ferocious expression and looked like he was up to no good.
"Are you a knight of the kingdom?" Brother Beard patted the knight's shoulder and asked.
The knight who nearly fell down swallowed his saliva and leaned back unconsciously after seeing the appearance of the person coming.
"I...I am a knight of the kingdom. What...what's wrong?"
"I heard that you are looking for a black-haired freak. If you provide useful information, you will get a reward?" asked Brother Beard.
The knight used his sword to support himself on the ground, while the two guards hid behind him and trembled.
"How...how, do you have news about him?" The knight pretended to be calm.
Brother Huzi pointed to the west and said, "That brat just went to the city in the west."
The knights and guards looked at each other, then gathered in a circle, muttering something.
After a moment, the knight asked nervously, "Why should we believe that what you say is true?"
Upon hearing this, Brother Beard raised his right hand. This raised his hand scared the knight and the guards so much that they retreated two meters away.
He said: "Just now that kid bumped into me, I grabbed his disgusting hair and beat him up. Look, there are still some of his hairs in my fingernails."
The knight was suspicious, but finally walked forward and found a few black hairs on the huge palm.
He gently picked up the hair and looked at it carefully.
Yes, it is indeed human hair.
"How is it?" asked Brother Hu Zi.
The knight nodded. "It is indeed the hair of the wanted criminal. It seems that he has indeed gone west. Thank you for the information you provided. It is very valuable."
After saying that, he took out a gold coin and placed it on the palm as hard as steel.
However, Bearded Man did not retract his hand, but still spread it out in front of the knight.
The knight didn't understand, and looked up into the bearded man's eyes, which were still as fierce as ever.
His Adam's apple jumped, and he swallowed again, saying, "One gold coin for each piece of information, we also have rules, big brother..."
"Hmm?" Brother Huzi was obviously dissatisfied.
Under the shove and push of the guards around him, the knight had no choice but to admit defeat. He took out two more gold coins and put them in the eldest brother's hand.
Brother Hu Zi snorted coldly, then left with satisfaction.
The knight watched his back as he left and cursed him a thousand times in his heart.
Originally, the two gold coins were supposed to fall into his pocket.
"Go back to Mag Town and report to the higher-ups." The knight was about to leave with his guards.
The farmers were fed up with it. They dropped their work and came to the town to report it just for the reward. But now they got nothing.
"Sir Knight, where is our bounty?" The timid farmer called out to the three people who wanted to leave.
A guard glared at them fiercely and said, "You call what you provided intelligence? If you have the guts, show us the evidence."
The farmers were speechless and had to accept defeat.
The bearded guy who received the bounty was now on his way to Mag Town. He weighed the three gold coins in his hand and chuckled.
I can actually get a reward by reporting myself. It seems like I have discovered the secret to getting rich.
. . . . .
"Big Beard" Miss came to the entrance of Mag Town again, registered his entry information and was inspected by the guards.
During the examination, the eyes of people around him were focused on him, because the image of the bearded burly man this time was a bit too outrageous, like a giant.
He decided that after entering the city, he would find a place to change back to his small account [average appearance].
However, among the many gazes, there was a murderous gaze that Miss noticed, although only for a moment.
He turned his head and looked behind him, only to see the fleeting figure of that person and his snow-white waist-length hair.
Illusion?
After entering Mag Town, Miss immediately found an empty corner and used the [Online Dating Assistant] to modify his appearance, turning back into an ordinary-looking man.
After finding an ordinary hotel to stay in, he found that it was not dark yet, so he decided to go out for a walk and familiarize himself with the environment of Mag Town.
Although Mag Town is a town-level city, adventurers flock to it because of the existence of the dungeon. In just a few years, it has developed to be comparable to some large city-states.
Walking down the main street of Mager Town, what came into view was the scene that Miss had always dreamed of.
Various shops and stalls sell rare items that are hard to come by at other times. Adventurers of all kinds are active here. Some are using their youth to pursue their dreams, while others are using the rest of their lives to sing the praises of peace. It is very lively here.
To Miss, this was quite a different world, and it just suited his taste.
As he walked, he came to a building of a completely different style.
Adventurer's Association.
Walking into the association hall, the pretty lady at the front desk was helping novice adventurers register their identities, and experienced adventurers were pacing back and forth near the task commission column, looking for commissions that suited them.
A strong man dragged a giant, cold pheasant into the hall. Behind him were several companions, both men and women, who were joking with each other.
The young novice adventurer looked at the group from afar, his face full of longing.
"Are these the members of the E-ranked guild Cold-Blooded Sharp Teeth?"
"How amazing! They were able to defeat such a powerful beast. They are indeed a guild certified by the Association."
"I heard that all the members of their guild are D- and C-rank adventurers."
"Is this the strength of the strongest guild in Mag Town?"
Mis, a member of the spectators, hid aside and listened quietly to their discussion.
Suddenly, that murderous gaze appeared again.
Miss was frightened and turned his head to look.
I saw a cool and beautiful girl with a beautiful face walk into the association hall.
Her long snow-white hair was tied into two strands and lay on her back. The simple white top could not hide the magnificent figure of her chest. The black long skirt had slits on both sides, showing off her snow-white and delicate long legs to the fullest.
There was a flash of murderous intent in his ice-blue eyes.
Miss's expression was solemn. After entering the city, he had deliberately used magic props to change his appearance, so it was impossible for a normal person to notice it.
Besides, I have never seen her, so why would she be so hostile towards me?
The moment the girl walked into the association hall, everyone fell silent and stared at the beautiful scene.
Miss quietly asked the boy next to him: "Who is this woman?"
The young man thought he had misheard and was stunned. "Don't you know that the dark horse of Mag Town this year was rated as a C-level adventurer by the association in just two months, the Ice Heart, Miss Sylvia!"
