Gallo went back to the garden, found Misseran, and told her that he would be traveling for the next two days.
After hearing this, Miseran's eyes flashed with surprise and asked:
"You would actually accept such a commission?"
She had always felt that Gallo was an archbishop-level figure and should not have to deal with such trivial matters.
But Gallo asked without conscious thought:
"why do not you answer?"
Misseran tilted his head slightly and thought for a while, but couldn't find a good way to explain it. After all, Gallo had always regarded himself as a priest.
However, she had an idea and quickly asked:
"Will you accept any commission?"
"As long as it's simple and safe, doesn't take up too much time, and makes money at the same time."
Gallo replied bluntly.
Misseran nodded repeatedly, having some calculations in mind.
When I have a day off, I will entrust Gallo to accompany me shopping, visiting the park, and eating desserts...
Although a direct invitation seemed okay, she was worried that Gallo would come up with some answers other than those in the book, such as asking her to go for a run or something...
If you change it to a commission, you don’t have to worry about him rejecting it!
With good expectations, the two of them spent the whole afternoon discussing magic. It was not until it was almost dark that Misseran hurried back to the church to deal with the chores that had been put aside, not even taking care of dinner.
When sending her away, Gallo said something special:
"I heard that there is delicious sweet corn grown in Yorktown. I will go over and bring you some back this time."
"Well, I'm looking forward to it..."
Misseran replied with some joy.
After seeing Misseran off, Gallo went back to prepare his luggage for tomorrow.
In fact, there is nothing to prepare. Just some simple dry food and some food at noon. Then you can arrive in Yorktown in the evening. You can stay one night and return the next day.
So he only brought the sandwich prepared for him by the old bishop and the small wooden hammer given by the goddess. He didn't even bring the Skull Crusher's outfit. He was just staying for one night anyway, so there was no need.
At dawn the next day, Gallo took his donkey cart and met up with the mercenary team outside the city.
"You are very punctual. I thought that a young man like you would always sleep a little bit."
Captain Gessen greeted him and then turned to look at Amiya.
"Uh... But this mule... How about I help you find a horse?"
He was worried that the mule would not be able to keep up with his speed.
"Thank you for your kindness, but my Amiya is very fast and has good endurance. Don't worry, this journey is just a warm-up for it."
Gallo said very confidently.
"Oh well..."
Captain Gessen said helplessly, and he didn't force it. He just walked a little slower along the way. If he walked at this speed, he wouldn't be able to reach Yorktown until dark.
Fortunately, the matter wasn't that urgent. It would be easier to walk slowly, so the other mercenaries didn't say anything.
Everyone walked and chatted all the way, and Gallo was mostly listening silently, thinking about how to speak and preach to them.
Unexpectedly, while we were chatting, the topic automatically turned to Gallo.
"Tell me, how come that Skull Crusher seems to have disappeared recently?"
The elf mage sapling suddenly asked.
"Didn't we just kill a baron a while ago? There seemed to be a lot of commotion about it, but it seemed to have subsided again."
Aunt Shanla replied.
The caveman scout, who had been relatively silent before, was also interested in this topic and asked:
"Is a baron worth his while?"
It's worth it, of course it's worth it. I always treat everyone equally, regardless of high or low...
Gallo replied secretly in his mind.
And the elf mage said:
"Don't underestimate these human aristocrats. Even if they don't have a high title, they are no less crazy than those with respectable figures. They may even be even crazier!"
He then said slightly disappointedly:
"But...I was originally looking forward to seeing what shocking crimes he would commit when he came back from a long trip, such as the tragedy at the orphanage..."
No, wasn't that all three years ago? I almost forgot, but you still remember it?
Gallo cursed speechlessly.
This so-called orphanage tragedy was caused by a well-known philanthropist in the City of Innocence. He apparently ran a charitable foundation dedicated to taking in orphans and established an orphanage. He was a kind-hearted philanthropist.
.
But behind the scenes, he embezzled charity money, abused orphans, and even forced them to beg and steal, among other evil deeds.
Gallo was only fifteen years old that year. When he got involved in this matter, the old bishop accidentally picked up a little girl in the suburbs and kindly sent her to an orphanage under the foundation. However, a few days later, he saw her being interrupted.
His legs were broken, his eyes were blinded, and he was begging on the street.
After some questioning, the old bishop found out the whole story and the man's crime.
That night, the Skull Crusher strikes hard!
That was Gallo's busiest night, and he was busy all night long.
None of the sinners escaped. The headless corpses knelt in a circle on the ground, looking like they were performing some evil ritual. People once thought that the Skull Crusher was a cultist.
But all the orphans and those innocent employees were unscathed...
As the case was revealed, people came to know the evil hidden behind the orphanage, and also understood the righteous deeds of the Skull Crusher.
Those orphans were later sent to orphanages run by major sects and were properly placed. In the following years, no one was heard of anyone daring to do similar things.
It was after this major case that shocked the whole city that Skullcrusher became famous in one battle and attracted his first batch of fans. At that time, Undine, who was in charge of investigating the case and was only a private in the military, was one of them.
"Although it was three years ago, when I think back now, I still feel so happy. I wish I could have been by Skullcrusher's side and fight alongside him!"
"It's a pity that he has been keeping a low profile recently..."
The elf mage finally concluded.
Gallo cursed from the side:
Do you have any misunderstanding about me?
It’s not that I’ve been low-key recently, but I’ve always been low-key!
And I'm not so short of money recently, so I don't need to covet Lieutenant Undini's 10 silver coins, so the corpses and traces are destroyed very cleanly...
In the future, the Skull Crusher will probably disappear completely, or be renamed the Purifier, right?
Aunt Shanla heard the Master's words and said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"You can't even be our teammates, and you still want to team up with the Skull Crusher?"
"Then your body has probably turned into ashes. Do you know how much his head is worth?"
"Of course I know, the bounty of 2,000 gold is the highest in the city and the fifth highest in the country..."
"And I heard that the one caught alive is more valuable. Many rich women are willing to offer him an unprecedentedly high price!"
