Among the several guests present, a caravan steward with a wealthy background had heard more or less about the deeds of "bounty hunters".
It is said that the "Bounty Hunters" were once a powerful force of the Earth Temple. They have parted ways with the current Earth Temple long ago, but they maintain their own heritage and specialize in serving the famous families in the highlands.
Bounty hunters are secretive, have outstanding abilities, and keep their promises. They only accept employment from famous aristocrats to solve some difficult problems for them. No matter how much money the city-state wealthy spend, they cannot hire "bounty hunters" to do things for themselves.
In a sense, "bounty hunter" is also a precious resource, a special resource that belongs exclusively to famous families in the highlands.
Being able to have face-to-face contact with a bounty hunter is a new thing. However, this bounty hunter named White-haired Rhine is simply bad.
He deliberately revealed the identity of Victor and others in public, immediately putting everyone in a dilemma. At this time, some people wanted to leave the scene, but they were afraid that Victor and the others would misunderstand that they wanted to report. Harvey, who was suspected of being a sixth-level venerable, still had some weapons in his hands.
Carrying a sword, he can kill here with just one sword. Moreover, the mayor has not shown up yet, and his private guards have quietly evacuated. This leaves the unarmed guests with what they can do to fend off a group of people in trouble.
A nobleman from a well-known family?
Let me ask, who would dare to take the lead in leaving in this situation?
The union leader Eckert was dumbfounded, and the other guests also looked ugly.
Victor had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions and found this matter very interesting.
In just a few words, White-haired Rhine pushed the guests at the party to be the opposite of Victor. In fact, they were pitted against each other, forming a delicate balance.
Referring to the force configuration of the Iron Rhino Caravan, the caravan stewards and adventure group leaders who were left here, including the union leader Eckert, each had armed guards. If their subordinates were added together, there would be almost three to four hundred
A man, and an elite warrior.
The reason why they are now led by Rhine and feel aggrieved and helpless is due to two reasons.
First, the caravan manager and the leader of the adventure group have a great business and always try to avoid getting involved in the internal struggles of famous families, so they behave timidly in front of Victor.
Secondly, Harvey has shown his strength. He holds a long sword, and within a few meters, it is equivalent to putting the blade under someone's neck. Few people can ignore the threat posed by Harvey, especially without equipment.
If he tried to confront him, he would probably kill him on the spot after just a few encounters.
If the guests attending the open-air party have become hostages, then Victor and the others are desperadoes holding hostages. But from another perspective, Victor's actual situation is not much better than these hostages.
Neither Victor nor Harvey can face an army of hundreds of people. Not to mention the army, even the few professionals present are by no means weak. As long as they join forces to besiege, McGrady, Ruth and Jessica, who have no fighting ability, will be defeated.
He has to die here. It is not certain whether Harvey can fight his way out and break out of the encirclement of Water Snake Town guards.
As long as Victor dares to attack the guests in front of him, it will definitely be the result of defeat and death.
Rhine created a confrontation and established himself as a key role. He has weapons and equipment, and he seems to be strong. When a conflict breaks out between the two sides, Rhine is willing to take action to fend off Harvey for a moment, and Eckert and several other guests can
Summon the guards to rush in and relieve the siege.
However, Rhine miscalculated Victor.
Freedom is the characteristic of the wind element. Victor, who is friendly to the wind element, is often free from the constraints of emotions, morality, and social rules. He never looks forward or backward when doing things. When necessary, he can discard Ruth and Jessica; he can discard
Tracy McGrady; even dropped Harvey without any psychological burden.
This is the unruly wind, which follows one's will and appears ruthless.
The guards, private armies, and adventurers of Water Snake Town, relying on their numerical advantage, want to capture Victor, who has the talents of Wind Travel, Boiling Blood, and Activation?
It's almost impossible for them to succeed.
Victor can leave and come whenever he wants, and no one can control him, so what does he have to worry about?
Victor was just curious about the purpose of the white-haired Lain. He tilted his head and looked at the other party, and asked calmly: "Do you think I am a defector from the Golden Nightingale family, and you will inform the Golden Nightingale family?"
When some guests heard this, they were about to defend themselves, but after thinking about it, they shut up. Regardless of whether Victor was a fugitive pursued by the famous Golden Nightingale family, they had to report it to their backstage boss. In the end, whether to report to
It is up to the boss behind the scenes to decide whether Jin Nightingale's famous family will report. Now, if they tell Victor that they will not report, it is completely sophistry, and may completely anger the other party, so they might as well continue to remain silent, and it is best not to attract Victor's attention.
The white-haired Rhine took off the sword and placed it on the edge of his seat. He nodded with a smile and said, "It seems like this."
His sharp eyes swept over every "honest" guest, and finally landed on the white-haired Rhine's face. Victor asked again: "What if I don't care? If we dare to come to the open-air party, we won't be afraid of anyone snitching.
What I say is reasonable, right? Anyone of you can leave now if he wants to, and I will never stop you...except Mr. Rhine. You can't leave."
Rhine tried to keep everyone, but Victor refused to let him get what he wanted because he wanted to see his reaction.
Sure enough, Rhine tapped the long table with his index finger, attracting everyone's attention, and said slowly: "I heard from the president of the Eckert branch that Water Snake Town often holds open-air gatherings to facilitate exchanges between caravans and adventure groups.
News, intelligence. The host of today’s open-air party has not arrived yet, so it would be rude for us to break up the party now.”
Victor raised his eyebrows and asked: "Others are here to exchange intelligence and news; I am here to get to know Mrs. Christine... What about you? Why did you come to today's party?"
Rhine pointed to Eckert, who was sitting next to him, and said, "In order to seek help... President of the Eckert branch can testify for me."
The head of the local adventure union instantly became the target of public criticism. He smiled awkwardly and explained: "Mr. Rhine followed the female shepherd bandit Bertina and passed through Water Snake Town. He needs some useful clues... As everyone knows, shepherd
The wolf bandit Bertina is a public enemy of the alliance. As the head of the Adventurer's Guild in Water Snake Town, I have the responsibility to assist the bounty hunters who are chasing the female bandit Bertina. Therefore, I brought Mr. Rhine to today's party."
Everyone was in an uproar, and a caravan steward asked directly: "Eckert, are you saying that the female wolf bandit Bertina passed by Water Snake Town, or are you saying that she is nearby?"
"Don't be nervous, everyone, listen to me."
Rhine raised his hands, beckoning the audience to calm down, and said: "I guarantee that the wolf shepherd girl Bertina is not in Water Snake Town at the moment, and she will not threaten anyone here. However, since I have tracked her to Water Snake Town, it means that she has been
Passing by. Did any of you meet her?"
"Are you kidding me?"
The leader of a hot-tempered adventure group shouted loudly: "If we encountered Bertina, the female wolf-herd bandit, would we be able to attend today's party alive? She was a large-scale armed caravan that attacked Zhu Mingmen. With our strength, we
She can't even squeeze enough between her teeth."
Victor's eyes suddenly lit up and he raised his voice: "Don't make any noise! Mr. Rhine, how can you prove that you are not a liar? If you can track Bertina, how can the Alliance let her run away?"
Rhine said calmly: "I don't want to prove anything. Everyone can listen to my story and then judge whether I am a liar. People who are not interested in the Wolf Shepherd Girl can leave, but I think no one will leave, after all the news about her
It’s very valuable, very valuable.”
The reward hanging on the head of the wolf-shepherd girl is as high as one million gold pagodas, which is undoubtedly an unimaginable huge amount of wealth. And various armed caravans and adventure groups of all sizes are interested in Bertina's intelligence.
Everyone quieted down, but Rhine started telling stories without any rush. He reached out to catch a half-elf slave girl who was delivering fruit, and pressed her on his lap. The half-elf slave girl had been trained and was caught off guard by the guest's arms.
She didn't let out a scream, but quickly covered her little mouth, only whispered softly, and let Rhine do whatever he wanted to her, so softly that it was pitiful.
The half-elf female slaves raised by Mayor Middleton are all young and beautiful, with fair and delicate skin. They are obviously not good at working. They are purely private slave maids who entertain guests with their beauty. Even if they are held in Rhine's arms and rubbed wantonly
, the half-elf female slave did not resist, and even quietly adjusted her posture to cater to the other party with a shy face.
Rhine has a majestic figure, outstanding facial features, unique silver hair and onyx-like eyes, and his every move is full of the masculine beauty of a male half-elf. The half-elf female slave can win Rhine's favor, even in full view of the public.
Looking at her watery eyes and slightly trembling shoulders, you can tell that she is shy and secretly happy at the moment.
The mayor and his wife used a beautiful slave girl to entertain their guests, but they were just following the example of a wealthy family. The guests at the party who were eligible to attend were all determined professionals, and no one would play with the mayor's slave girl like Rhine did.
They all looked at Rhine with contempt, and maybe some envy. They were jealous of his free and easy, domineering and unscrupulous manner?
Victor was able to grasp the mentality of these people with his meticulous and extraordinary perception. Although Rhine concealed it skillfully, Victor did not see desire in his eyes.
Rhine's big hands moved under the skirt of the half-elf slave girl, clearly inspecting her body. Because Victor often did the same thing to Ruth and Jessica.
A professional doctor can activate the secret blood ability to sense the physical condition of half-elves at close range. Victor does not have this ability. He can only check Ruth and Jessica's body temperature, skin toughness, muscle strength, bone hardness, and instinctive reactions through touch.
Their physical conditions, especially after they take medication, all changes in their bodies need to be recorded.
Victor didn't care at all about the gender of the person he was checking. If Ruth and Jessica were men, he would do the same thing.
Rhine secretly examined the body of the half-elf slave girl of the mayor's house. This was too strange.
Is there anything special about the mayor's slave girl?
With a thought in his mind, Victor looked at the half-elf slave girl a few more times.
"It feels good, but it's a pity that such a beautiful slave girl is not suitable for me." Rhine suddenly pushed away the rosy-faced slave girl and smiled at Victor: "Bounty hunters like me are running around outside all year round, and women with weak constitutions can't help it.
If they follow me and suffer, I can't take care of them."
Hey, this guy is very perceptive. He realized that I had seen through his actions and deliberately changed the subject to prevent me from exposing him in public?
Victor secretly thought to himself and said: "Only a strong and strong barbarian female slave is suitable to follow you?"
"Barbarian female slave? Haha, forget it, I will be laughed to death... My employers are all famous nobles. If they hear that White-haired Rhine prefers barbarian female slaves, then I'm afraid I won't be able to get a job in the future.
"
"As a normal half-elf male, I still like half-elf women."
The bounty hunter looked past Victor and landed on Ruth and Jessica behind him, and asked: "Mr. Victor, I think these two maids of yours are very good. Can you sell them to me?"
"
This turn of events is really surprising. When Victor rescued Ruth and Jessica from the orc bone collectors, he concluded that there were forces within the Disa Alliance colluding with the orc gangs to resell half-elf professional women.
Rhine expressed his intention to purchase Ruth and Jessica without even asking whether they were slave girls. Is this a coincidence?
Maybe, it's a test...
No! Rhine has been arousing my curiosity. He seems to be able to see through my weak point, which is my strong curiosity, and use this to restrain my behavior... Victor's will seems to be split into two, one is full of curiosity, and the other is full of curiosity.
If you want to explore the purpose of White-haired Rhine, you would rather be led by his nose; the other one will look at your own problems calmly and objectively.
Victor didn't understand what conditions triggered the wonderful changes in the mental body, but he was already aware of White-haired Rhine's special ability.
"When I picked them up in the wild, they were already crazy. I don't know their identities, and I'm not their owner. How could I sell them to you as private slaves?" Victor thought, half-seriously.
Half-assumingly, he tested Rhine in turn.
Rhine pondered and said: "According to the laws of the alliance, when rescuing a half-elf in distress in the wild, the recipient or her family must pay a reward to the rescuer. If the recipient is unwilling to pay the reward, then she will serve as the rescuer's
Private slaves, for sale.”
"This is to encourage half-elves to lend a helping hand to their compatriots in distress, and the alliance is willing to protect the interests of the rescuers."
"You can resell them both to me, and the price is negotiable." Rhine said sincerely.
With a "pop" sound, Victor slapped the sheathed fine gold thorium sword on the table, showed his white teeth, and said with a smile: "Okay... If the price you offer cannot satisfy me, you will
Play with me at your own risk..."
Standing next to Victor, Harvey immediately uncrossed his arms, arched his back slightly, and narrowed his eyes, the luster in his eyes solidified.
His energy is surging and his will is obvious, like a beast that chooses people to devour.
"Whoosh", "whoosh", the guests sitting at the table all pushed their chairs, stood up one after another, and retreated together. They had no doubt that Harvey was about to violently hurt someone. And his target, Rhine, put his hand on the giant sword.
on the hilt of the sword.
The atmosphere in the small garden became extremely tense, and the half-elf maids around them were so scared that they held their breath. They were confused. The guests were fine just now, why did they suddenly take action?
Harvey's display of momentum was particularly fierce. Rhine had to be on full alert and could no longer speak. He knew that Harvey was very strong, but he did not expect that a strong man like Harvey could execute Victor without any scruples and reservations.
will.
Only at this moment did Rhine clearly realize that it was not him who had the initiative, but Victor.
Of course, Harvey's momentum only affected a few meters. At the critical moment, the noisy footsteps of guards came from outside the small garden. Everyone thought that Mayor Middleton was coming. In fact, it was a group of heavily armed private soldiers.
The soldiers and guards rushed into the garden in panic, and the leading professional shouted to the head of the Adventurer's Guild:
