Since cameras had not been invented at this time, the bounties were all accompanied by portraits of people. However, the portraits that were drawn by ordinary painters and then printed on a printing press looked very "wild", and they were somewhat similar to real people.
It’s unknown.
After all, this is not a realistic oil painting painted by a famous artist like a portrait of a big shot.
"Don't drink it yet, we have business to do..."
When they saw the boss writing a new reward on the task board, the drinkers gathered around him shouting and holding wine glasses.
"Ha, it's a hunting bounty! Old Mark, your job is here..."
After hearing this, John looked towards the middle-aged man sitting in the corner with a weathered face. He saw a big bow on his back. He was obviously dressed as a hunter. He was one of the few John had seen who did not choose a steam musket as a weapon.
One of the bounty hunters.
After all, steam muskets have been invented for about two hundred years. Although they only emerged on a large scale a hundred years ago, due to their power and other factors, primitive cold weapons were quickly eliminated.
In addition to the nobles who still adhere to the chivalry style of swordsmanship that has lasted for thousands of years, the people of various countries have long been obsessed with swords and guns, because it takes at least three years to master a swordsmanship, but a woman can master it with a few days of training.
Steam muskets are basically used, so everyone has given up on cold weapons that are too inefficient, let alone hand-to-hand combat.
In addition to the military and fighting enthusiasts, civilians, that is, gangsters and gangsters, will specifically train how to beat people.
This is more true in areas with superior natural conditions. On the contrary, places with harsh climates such as the cold North Sea and the Ivan Empire still maintain a martial style.
Of course, the Holy Empire and its states, known as the birthplace of knights, are stronger than other countries in the Old Continent due to traditional reasons.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Rem Town wouldn't be open for several days. I got lucky today. Thank you, Mr. Sheriff..."
This person is obviously very confident in whether he can complete the reward.
Another drunkard who looked rather wretched also said:
"Each of these prey items has ten gold pounds. It's difficult to survive. Let's set a few traps to see if we get lucky..."
…
These drinkers, who are obviously bounty hunters, are as excited about the new bounty as a hound is when it discovers the meat and bones of its owner's reward.
I don't know if I was laughing at John for being stupid and having too much money.
The bounty targets announced by Key John are just wild beasts. No matter how ferocious the beasts are, they are not as cunning as humans. Compared with the thugs and thugs on the list worth fifty gold pounds, although these beasts may be physically stronger, they are undoubtedly much easier to deal with.
, if you are lucky, a simple trap may be completed.
The only trouble is that it requires live targets and not just corpses.
After all, John doesn’t know when he will be able to gather the ingredients, so it’s best to keep them alive, because the internal organs of the five beasts need to be fresh, and it’s best to take them out no more than twelve hours ago. Even if they are kept fresh with ice cubes, at most
It cannot exceed three days, otherwise the spirit and vitality will dissipate and deteriorate.
In addition to beasts and gold foil, John also generously set bounties of one gold pound per pound for other materials. The collection of these things is not dangerous, just a little troublesome. If John hadn't just arrived and had no relevant channels, there would be no use at all.
You don't have to come to the tavern to post a reward. A few cents can probably solve the problem.
Now he is in urgent demand, so he can only set a heavy reward. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under a heavy reward, and this is true in any world.
Anyway, he is not short of money now. The monthly salary of the sheriff is enough to live on. The remaining pumped water is still placed in the small vault. In the past two months, a small pile of yellow and white ones has been piled up.
Among all materials, gold foil is a common decorative material and alchemy material. It is easy to buy in Jinsha Port because there are specialized craftsmen and merchants who can manufacture and operate these.
Similarly, gold foil is also an alchemical material. Isn't the so-called alchemy the earliest pursuit of immortality and the transformation of gold? Therefore, alchemy has been closely related to gold since its birth.
However, in Rem Town, except for churches and the residences of a few wealthy businessmen, no one would have the leisure and leisure to decorate their homes with gold leaf. As for people who study alchemy, except for the enthusiast Klaus, the town may not be able to find anyone.
Come out with one.
So John looked for the grocery store in town, but as expected, they didn't have it in stock.
At this time, the tavern owner Vann took out a wooden box and placed it on the bar.
"In addition to posting rewards, I will also sell some materials on behalf of you. I have gold foil here. Do you think it's suitable?"
John glanced at Vann unexpectedly, and even activated his spiritual vision.
If it weren't for the fact that the handsome middle-aged man in his spiritual vision didn't have any unusual spirituality other than that of ordinary people, he would have thought that this man might have something to do with the supernatural world.
After all, isn’t that what the previous life novels said?
Those who run taverns are usually retired brave men, and those who sell some mysterious materials are often related to them.
The middle-aged handsome guy in front of me has two different characteristics. It is very possible to say that he is an extraordinary strong man hidden among the people.
After harvesting a box of gold foil worth five pounds and posting a reward, John was ready to go back and wait for news.
In fact, nearly half of the gold foil in the box is the processing fee and the difference in resale price.
Even though it is a box as big as two bricks, because the gold foil is extremely thin and separated by paper, the volume is greatly expanded. According to the calculation that one ounce of gold is worth 20 federal gold pounds, one gold pound only contains more than 1.40 gold.
, the more than 500 palm-sized gold foils inside are estimated to contain less than three gold pounds of gold.
The Commonwealth gold pound is the same as the Brooke gold pound. Although it is named after the gold pound, it actually adopts the gold and silver bimetal system. A gold pound of gold coin is not so much a gold coin as a silver coin with a gold content of only 1.4 grams.
However, since Brooke is now actually the most powerful colonial empire, the ordinary Brooke gold pound, although it does not contain any gold, is still the most popular international currency in the old and new continents.
Since the White Eagle Federation has gold and silver mines in the three western states, there is no shortage of gold and silver, so the precious metal content of its currency is higher than that of Brook, and its currency value is also very strong in the New World.
After leaving the Steam Knight Tavern, John deeply forgot about the place and felt that the boss Vann seemed a bit mysterious and must not be simple.
Although the fact of spiritual vision told him that this middle-aged handsome boy was just a mortal without any abnormal spirituality, but based on his intuition of many years of police career in his previous life, John believed that this man must have some unknown secret.
"But what the heck! I'm just here to post the reward and prepare for the next step of training. Whether the boss has a story or not has little to do with me."
The reason why we choose to hire bounty hunters at high prices instead of entrusting them to ordinary traders in the town is because bounty hunters wander around chasing rewards and there will always be opportunities to encounter unusual things. Many supernatural rumors on the market are
From the mouth of a bounty hunter.
So John wanted to rely on these people to complete his preparations for cultivation.
The requirements in his reward are five wolf kings and horse kings, the best beasts in the group. Such beasts are often more spiritual than ordinary ones.
"And maybe these bounty hunters can bring you unexpected surprises!"
Walking on the land home, John thought to himself:
"After all, the world is different. In Taoist terms, if you grow in an environment with abundant spiritual energy, some animals will be more likely to transform into spiritual beasts. Even if there are no spiritual beasts, etc., some initially spiritual beasts will be better than ordinary beasts.
The beast is much more powerful, and the effect of being used as a foundation is more than ten times greater."
