"You said you entered the forest to help me capture the wolf, but what is the mission of the two agents?"
Facing John’s question, Mark said matter-of-factly
"Rather than just wandering around in the forest as they say, why not earn more bounty money on the way? They don't know about it anyway, right?"
Obviously, Mark has no intention of actually helping the federal police. Although he is an alternative among bounty hunters, he is also a bounty hunter and is not at all hostile to federal law enforcement agencies.
When John heard this, he immediately thought of the description "the cunning of an honest man".
Obviously, although old Mark has some persistence of his own, he is not a stubborn person who does not know how to adapt.
And he also saw the unreliability of those two federal agents. For the so-called investigation and evidence collection, they went deep into well-known dangerous situations. Once they encountered the fog, there was no return. Isn't this stupid?
The key point is that the body was dumped here, which shows that the murder did not occur in Rem Town at all. It was just a warning and demonstration to the federal government.
That's why Old Mark planned to earn a bounty while also proposing that John also participate.
Because he had seen John's skills in teaching scoundrels at the market, he thought that this sheriff was not a senior bounty hunter in terms of swordsmanship. Compared with the federal agents who could only rely on obstructive steam muskets in the forest, this
is undoubtedly a better helper.
You must know that the terrain of the forest limits the performance of the steam musket, and it takes a certain amount of time to reload it once, which is enough time for a ferocious beast to tear its neck apart.
After negotiating the terms, the two federal agents went back in a good mood to prepare for tomorrow's operation, and John nodded goodbye to Vann and Mark.
He had to go back and talk to Klaus. After all, if he participated in such a dangerous matter without telling him in advance, the young master would probably lose his temper.
It wasn't until ten o'clock at night that the eldest son of the Hessenser family wandered back to the apartment.
John breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that it was a good thing he didn't spend the night outside, otherwise he wouldn't have a chance to explain a few words when setting off tomorrow morning.
"John, are you going on a long trip?"
Klaus, who was a little tipsy, looked at the packed luggage beside the living room and asked in confusion.
It was a backpack made of thick canvas.
In this world, backpacks have not yet been invented. Most of them are straw or wooden or leather suitcases. If you carry that thing into the forest, it will definitely be a burden.
It was getting late, and John didn't have time to find a tailor, so he simply sewed one using an old canvas he had at home for rain protection.
These manual skills are cultivated in this life. After all, although a noble butler does not need to be as versatile as a robot, he still needs to master all common skills in life.
Therefore, when the Hessensel family trained them, in addition to etiquette, heraldry, swordsmanship and other essential skills for nobles, they also had cooking, painting, flower art, sewing and even simple pharmacy.
You don’t need to be proficient in everything, but you must at least know how to appreciate it, which can also be used to save the owner at critical moments.
"Yes, young master, I will accompany the investigation agents from the federation into the Dragon Claw Forest tomorrow."
Klaus' eyes widened.
"Why did you agree to go with such a dangerous mission? Did the town council force you? The worst we can do is leave Rem Town and stop being the Sheriff!"
John smiled and comforted him
"Master, don't worry, this is what I asked for!"
"Why?"
Klaus asked with confusion on his face.
John knew that the young master would not let him go without telling him the truth.
So he reached out and pulled off a three-inch long feather from the decoration on the living room wall.
He saw the feather in the center of his hand, sinking with his hand, but strangely the feather did not fall together, but floated and turned a few inches above his palm, like an invisible air current lifting and blowing it for ten years.
few seconds.
"This this……"
When Klaus saw this, he couldn't help but rub his eyes in surprise to see if he was drunk and hallucinating.
Of course there was no change in the result. I couldn't help but be shocked by the sight in front of me.
"This is extraordinary power, isn't it?"
Klaus became excited and clutched John's handwriting tightly.
As a student of the Mysticism Department of Rodriguez College, he has been obsessed with studying the wonderful changes in alchemical potions. Although he has created a very famous entertainment potion in the circle, he has never been able to develop an alchemical potion with truly extraordinary power.
Come.
He also started to be interested in extraordinary powers at Rodriguez College, but he couldn't get in for several years.
Unexpectedly, his personal attendant, his brother John, suddenly mastered the extraordinary power that he had been waiting for for a long time, so he was naturally very excited.
"That's right, young master, this is the extraordinary power I have mastered. I have only awakened in the past few days. The reason why I went to the forest this time is for the next step in promotion, so I have a reason to go!"
Klaus was first shocked by John's extraordinary power, and his worries about his adventurous behavior deep into the dangerous forest weakened a lot, but after the excitement, he still asked worried questions
"Then what if you encounter the fog of death, the biggest danger in Dragon Claw Forest?"
John smiled confidently
"Not to mention that in addition to a team of elite federal agents, this team also has a powerful old hunter as a guide. The danger is not that great. Even if we encounter the legendary fog of death, I already have extraordinary abilities.
You can also find a way out with your own senses."
Hearing this, Klaus put down his worries slightly, but still said uneasily
"No, I'm still worried. Just wait for me..."
After saying that, he ran to his laboratory, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and soon he came up with a bunch of things.
"These are things you are holding. They are all things I accidentally created during my experiments. They were originally used for self-defense. Although they are not very powerful, they can also provide more life-saving means."
As he spoke, Klaus took out a leather tool belt, which was similar to an electrician's belt, with plaid pockets on it, and stuffed bottles of medicine into it.
"This is a corrosive agent. I have done experiments and a small bottle can melt a whole piece of beef with its skin."
"This is an explosive agent. It can explode if dropped. It can also ignite flammable items, so be careful when carrying it..."
"These three bottles are burning potions. I named them dragon fire oil. As long as they are touched by a little spark, they can burn quickly and can even be immersed in water without being extinguished. When used with the explosive potion, the effect is as terrifying as the flames spit out by the legendary dragon.
"
"There is also this bottle, I call it All Things Three. It is an unknown mixed toxin. Even a bull will lose the ability to move in just three breaths if it inhales the volatiles. It must be used when using it.
Be careful not to inhale it yourself..."
…
Seeing Klaus's long-winded instructions like an old mother and the things prepared for him, John was moved in his heart.
It seems that this young master was sent to Rem Town by his family. Although he didn't say it on the surface, he still looked like a libertine. In fact, he felt very insecure in his heart, so he prepared these self-defense potions early.
The belts were all prepared and now they were handed over to me without reservation.
Therefore, I must come back intact and break through the innate realm as soon as possible, so that I can protect Klaus and gain a foothold in this world.
