Calamity Island: Endless Trials

Chapter 7 The Mysterious Wanted

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Gal patted Tang Jiumin's shoulder heavily: "My friend, this is an investment."

"Who knows in the future when our caravan is ambushed by robbers, will you be nearby? If you are, won't my two boxes of goods be all right?"

Tang Jiumin replied immediately: "Of course, it is necessary to make trouble with two shots, at least to scare them."

The caravan group laughed and was amused.

Gal even said: "That's not right. In the future, the one who helps shoot the robbers twice beside us is your friend, so this meal must be invited by me, and you must not refuse."

"When we go out to do business, this money is nothing but petty money. To be honest, the money you pay for a meal and a glass of wine is nothing compared to the goods we lost."

"It's important to make friends, don't you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gal directly raised his head and greeted the counter: "Daniel, hurry up and add food and wine, I will pay for the money, don't rob me, I must treat him to a good meal."

When the food and wine were served on the table, Tang Jiumin devoured for a while. When he was full, he patted his stomach and thanked the caravan happily.

"Thank you so much. Look at it. Next, I will definitely patrol the town and kill a few more werewolves. I should thank you for this meal." Tang Jiumin patted his chest and assured.

"No matter how powerful those werewolves are, in the face of so many bounty hunters from us, how can they still make a comeback? Sooner or later, they will be killed."

"It's not a problem at all, trivial."

At this moment, Tang Jiumin's cheeks were slightly red, and he was a little drunk. The words he said made everyone in the caravan around him couldn't help but laugh.

If werewolves were as easy to kill as the Gunslinger Brothers boasted, they wouldn't be losing a lot of people every year.

However, neither of the two bosses exposed Tang Jiumin.

There are many bounty hunters and gunmen in the Center Tavern on the night of the blood moon, most of them love to drink, and then when they drink high, they will especially like to brag.

There's nothing to be ashamed of, everyone is like that, man.

Those who drank more before dared to say that they had killed a giant dragon.

Daniel not only did not demolish Tang Jiumin's platform, but jokingly agreed.

"Then I'll first wish you a few more werewolves here, little brother. After all, as long as you kill one werewolf, you can go to the mayor to get a lot of bounties."

"Oh, boss, don't worry, I can kill at least three of them! Come and invite the people in the tavern to drink."

"Humph."

A sneering and disdainful voice reached Tang Jiumin's ears. He looked drunk and immediately turned his head to look at the voice, and found a person sitting at a small table by himself in the corner of the back.

There was just a big glass of bad beer on the table, and nothing else.

The wine was almost gone, and only the bottom of the glass remained. The man sipped the glass while observing the people in the tavern.

A very strange person.

He was wearing a deep black hat and a mask that covered his entire face, except for one pair of eyes.

The moment Tang Jiumin turned his head to look at the other party, the other party instantly turned to look at Tang Jiumin, and their eyes met.

Although he couldn't see what the other party looked like, Tang Jiumin could see the contempt for him in the eyes of the other party.

Because of my bragging just now?
Tang Jiumin carefully observed the other party and found that the weapon he was carrying was different from that of other bounty hunters. Most of the bounty hunters he saw so far had one or two revolvers, and some people had obtained shotguns.

But the man in the corner had a revolver on the other side's table and a shotgun hanging from his right waist.

Are you used to close combat?Why not bring a shotgun?Ammo isn't cheap.

Tang Jiumin noticed the specialness of this person, frowned and thought for a moment, silently taking note of the other person's outfit.

Then, when Tang Jiumin turned back, the thoughtful look on his face instantly disappeared, but a drunken smile appeared on his face.

It's like two people.

"Come on, have a drink!"

After drinking a few sips of wine with the caravan owner Gal, everyone in the caravan was in a good mood, and they all seemed to be chatting about their experiences on the road.

At this time, Tang Jiumin finally found the time to speak and started to do business.

"Boss, it's already the night of the blood moon, and the werewolf will appear soon. Why are you still staying in the desert and didn't find a chance to leave in advance?"

"You guys are too big..."

The last sentence was muttered.

Hearing this, Gal waved his hand immediately. He drank a few drinks with Tang Jiumin in a row, and was also a little drunk.

"Friend, you don't understand when you see it, don't worry about the night of the blood moon and werewolves, as long as there is business, our caravan will naturally be there."

"Ah?" Tang Jiumin didn't seem to understand.

"Did you know that Yuehao Town doesn't look like much, but the business is easy to do?"

Tang Jiumin thought for a while, then lowered his voice and asked, "I can make your entire caravan come to do business even at the risk of the blood moon night. It seems that the profit from it must be very considerable."

"That's right, but basically everyone in the town knows about this matter, but you don't know, this is your first time in Yuehao Town?" Gal looked at Tang Jiumin, a little funny.

Tang Jiumin was startled, and was sensitive to the presence of the information, but he shrugged in the face of other people's inquiries.

"That's not true, it's just that I don't come many times, and I'm a bounty hunter. It's better to study more about the bounty."

Gal showed a look of understanding.

Also.

As the gunman said before, it can be seen that he doesn't have much money himself, and he is busy doing tasks to earn bounties, so it is normal not to pay attention to these.

"As long as we have time every year, our caravan will go back and forth between Yuehao Town and other cities. The profit of each trip is too great, and no one can refuse."

"What exactly are you selling to make so much money?"

"Antiques, antiques, and some decorations."

Then the caravan owner pointed to a bag next to it, which contained a lot of accessories and gadgets, each of which looked exquisite and extraordinary.

"These things? How much are they worth?" Tang Jiumin asked again.

"You don't understand this. You may not know that in Yuehao Town, the most valuable business is not mining, fur or the like. After all, those businesses are also found elsewhere, and many places are even rich in those things."

"The most famous thing here is the business on the mayor's side. He has an antique shop in his name that sells such imitations."

Tang Jiumin always showed a dazed look.

Seeing his dazed reaction, Gal explained in great detail.

"Don't underestimate these things. If ordinary imitations can make us a lot of money? Impossible. Because the imitations sold by his shop are the best of the best!"

"This antique shop understands these things better than many excellent collectors. Many so-called collectors are only good at collecting and appraising antiques. Unlike here, these old objects can be completely re-engraved. "

"Like these, they are all replicas of the handicrafts that have appeared in the past. If you ask other collectors to come, at most you can only make them look similar, but the internal structure is completely different from the previous ones, and the imitations here in Yuehao Town are Even the internal structure is very consistent.”

"It's too powerful." Tang Jiumin appropriately showed an expression of surprise and anticipation.

"It is said that all this is under the guidance of the mayor, and he has a great understanding of the history of the entire wilderness." Gal couldn't help but sigh: "There are rumors that he has been exposed to these things since he was a child, and was once a descendant of a certain family in the wilderness. "

Descendants of a certain family?Mayor of Moonhowl who knows the history of the wilderness?

Tang Jiumin frowned slightly, feeling a little strange, but he replied, "Yeah, it's amazing..."

Just then, there was a commotion near the door.

The door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a group of sheriffs who had seen it at the entrance of the alley walked in with a revolver.

Tang Jiumin raised his eyes and looked slightly.

What are they coming for?
Obviously, this group of people didn't come in casually to drink and eat. As soon as they came in, they waved to the tavern owner and motioned for Daniel to come and talk.

Daniel came out from behind the counter.

Both sides talk.

And as Daniel stepped forward, everyone in the tavern heard the sheriff's intention.

One of the sheriffs pulled out a portrait with a human face, and he was pointing at the person above.

"This is a wanted order. The wanted man above has entered our town, Daniel, have you seen this guy!"

After all, before the boss could answer, the sheriff held up the wanted order and displayed it in the tavern.

"And everyone, if you see the person on the wanted notice, you must tell us as soon as possible."

Daniel stared at the wanted notice and looked at it carefully, puzzled.

"When did there become such a wanted criminal?"

"Look over there, sir."

"My Center Tavern is the largest tavern in the town. People come and go, and the flow of people is very large. In order to ensure everyone's safety, I regularly hang the portraits of wanted criminals on the wall in time to facilitate all those who come to the tavern. The guests see it."

"I've posted all the wanted orders over there, but this wanted order... When was this wanted order issued?"

"This is different, it's the wanted order issued by the mayor himself." The sheriff took back the wanted order and glanced at it dissatisfiedly: "Why, is the wanted order issued by the mayor different from the ones on your wall, I plan to distinguish it treat?"

"Ouch!"

When Daniel heard this, he immediately slapped himself and stepped forward.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I'm the one who responded most positively to the mayor's call. I just saw a wanted order that wasn't there before, so I couldn't help but ask more."

"Bendis! You blind man, why don't you hang up this wanted notice!"

The sheriff loosened his face a little, snorted coldly, and handed over the warrant to the guy who came over.

And the other party trotted to the wall and put the wanted notice on the most conspicuous place.

Daniel turned his head when he saw that the arrest warrant was up, and kept rubbing his hands together and laughing.

"Sir, but these days are special. You also know that there are many gunmen in town. Even if I stare at the gate all day, I may not see it."

"Who knows where the wanted criminal has gone, even if he has come to me, he will definitely not stay for too long, otherwise it will be too conspicuous, I must have written it down long ago."

Hearing this, the sheriff took two steps forward.

Standing at the front of the tavern, he glanced from left to right, searching for wanted criminals in what he thought was careful attention.

But soon he found out that most of the people were wearing headscarves, and some people were wearing masks, so it was impossible to see everyone's appearance.

The sheriff couldn't help but take two more steps forward.

However, he suddenly stopped again, because he thought that these people in front of him were all bounty hunters, and the wilderness gunmen invited by the mayor would probably die in the battle with werewolves in the next few days.

Relative to the wanted criminals, they are not officially hunted enemies, but in a sense they are also a group of outlaws.

If they were forced to take off their headscarves or masks at this time, it would probably anger them.

Most of these guys drank alcohol, so they probably wouldn't mind exchanging their lives for their sheriffs.

Forget it is not worth it.

Compared with this group of people, their lives are much more precious, and the mayor's order is in place. After the night of the blood moon is over, it will not be too late for them to conduct a thorough investigation.

"It doesn't seem to be in the tavern." The sheriff said: "Boss, you have to pay attention. As soon as you see him, tell us as soon as possible. This is an order issued by the mayor himself, and it is for all of us. Safety."

"Understood, sir, you can rest assured. I will pay attention to it. Once I find out, I will report it to the officers immediately."

The tavern owner hurriedly promised, then turned his head and told the guys around him: "Bendis, send some officers quickly, and bring some wine from behind to quench the thirst of the officers."

On the other hand, when Tang Jiumin was talking with the sheriff and the boss, his attention was not completely focused on the two of them. Instead, he followed the example of the sheriff and carefully scanned the entire tavern.

The sheriff didn't even see if there were any wanted criminals. Could it be that Tang Jiumin could tell by just looking at it?
Coincidentally.

Before the sheriff came, Tang Jiumin paid great attention to the mysterious man who had just heard him bragging about killing werewolves and expressed disdain.

At this moment, Tang Jiumin learned the way of a sheriff to observe the surroundings, and subconsciously looked at the other party first.

Even after several follow-up observations, Tang Jiumin subconsciously looked at the other party several times.

Something interesting happened.

From the time the sheriff entered the tavern, the mysterious man who had been observing the surroundings suddenly became nervous, his eyes were dodging around, and he even lowered his head slightly and no longer looked at others.

And when the sheriff took two steps forward, the mysterious man's right hand touched the revolver on the table.

Tang Jiumin understood.

It seemed that the wanted criminal who was hunted down by the mayor himself was the man who had just heard his bragging and expressed disdain.

The tavern owner actually helped the other party for the sake of business and mud, otherwise the other party might not be able to run away if he really investigated it.

"Excuse me, I see someone I know." Tang Jiumin said to Gal.

"Okay." Gal was looking at the sheriff's side, his eyes fixed on the door, he heard the words and responded, but didn't pay much attention to Tang Jiumin's movements.

So, Tang Jiumin picked up a glass of wine that he hadn't started drinking yet, pretended to be inadvertently and slowly approached the corner, walked to this mysterious man with a tight cover, and put the wine on the table in front of him.
