Pale Emblem

Chapter 107 The Mysterious White-Haired Rhine

For the caravan stewards and the heads of the adventure groups, collecting timely and accurate information in advance is their most important job.The person in charge of the trade union has a wealth of information, and everyone should establish a good relationship with them.

When Eckert, the person in charge of the Adventurer's Union stationed in Water Snake Town, came to the meeting place, the guests greeted him as if they had seen the backbone.

Victor just glanced at Eckert, then turned his attention to the half-elf with white hair and red eyes.

He is 1.9 meters tall, and his build looks like a savage fighter. The hard leather armor on his body is swollen by his strong body, showing a full and solid muscular outline. The heavy sword looks extremely intimidating.

However, this powerful white-haired half-elf has a handsome appearance and an elegant temperament. His red agate-like eyes are full of warmth and tranquility, and he has a charm that makes people around him feel at ease.

Victor, who is slender and well-proportioned, with a nearly perfect proportion, is even more majestic and arrogant. His ice-blue eyes are pure and flawless, sharp, aggressive and oppressive, making it impossible to look directly at.

The temperament of the two of them is like two extremes, but it is equally eye-catching.At least in such a hot weather, guests who wear formal clothes or leather armor and carry weapons are really different.

Everyone will think, are you here to participate in social activities, or are you looking for trouble?

Then, it will trigger panic and doubt among guests.

Since the guards at the gate failed to prevent these uninvited guests from entering the meeting place with weapons, several regular guests here inevitably questioned the authority of Mayor Middleton.Because, the mayor lost control of the situation, leaving the unarmed guests under the threat of swords.

Although they are very skilled, Harvey, who is suspected to be a sixth-level venerable, holds a sharp blade and can basically kill any of them on the spot.

In addition, the mayor's confidant left in a hurry, and the mayor himself did not show up for a long time.

The whole thing feels weird, and Middleton's motives are questionable.

The white-haired and red-eyed half-elf was brought in by Eckert. Several guests didn't know him, but they chose to trust the union leader.They walked over to greet Eckert together, and actually regarded the white-haired half-elf as Eckert's guard, and they stood behind him, forming a faint confrontation with Victor and the others.

The professional venerable with a sword is very lethal, and they have to guard against it.

The white-haired half-elf wears armor and carries a sword, and has an unusually majestic figure. At first glance, he is very difficult to mess with. In addition, they are a group of professionals, which should make Victor and others feel afraid and not act rashly.

As it turned out, they were wrong.

Victor didn't care about the so-called "confrontation" at all. He strode forward, followed by Harvey, Maddie, and two young ladies in a daze.

When the person in charge of the Adventurer's Union saw Victor for the first time, it was like seeing an arrogant and famous nobleman. He couldn't help showing a flattering smile on his face. He was about to speak, but Victor raised his hand to stop him.He reacted immediately and closed his mouth consciously.

Who would be willing to curry favor with a troubled nobleman in public, without fear of being hated by his enemies?

"Who are you?" Victor asked bluntly, staring at the half-elf with white hair and red eyes.

The white-haired half-elf had just followed the back of the mayor's confidant with his eyes, and when Yisenniel disappeared from his sight, he was still thinking.Hearing Victor's question, he woke up. He first looked at Harvey who had met him, nodded to him, then looked at Victor, smiled and said, "My name is Rhine, the white-haired Rhine, Red-eyed Rhine, these are my names... Dear Mr. Victor."

Victor's eyes lit up suddenly, and with some expectation, he asked, "You know me?"

The white-haired Rhine pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know you, but I heard about your reputation when I came to Water Snake Town. Some people say that you may be a troubled nobleman from the nightingale family in the city of Rapids, who fled into the wilderness after being hunted down by the enemy. You have been wandering outside for a long time, and now you are back. After all, you have such a powerful professional as Mr. Harvey by your side, and your own appearance is particularly outstanding, and you are carrying precious mithril ore. Except for the nobles who are in distress, Everyone can't think of the rest of the identity."

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was stunned.

There are some things that cannot be explained. Golden Nightingale's famous family is chasing political opponents all over the world. If the news here reaches Golden Nightingale's ears, even if Victor and the others are not Golden Nightingale's target, it will cause countless troubles.

Sure enough, Harvey stared at the white-haired Rhine and the guests behind him, and cursed viciously: "Which bastard dares to slander my lord behind his back?"

His roar was not high-pitched, but heavy and powerful, as if a sledgehammer struck the heart, causing people's scalps to tingle and their ears to buzz.

High-level beings have a natural spiritual suppression of low-level beings. Ordinary half-elves will tremble all over when they are glanced at by a third-level ogre, and it is difficult to control themselves.Once Harvey, who is also at the third level, gets angry, he will show his fangs like a lion and tiger, and the people present will be judged according to their level.Those young and beautiful half-elf female slaves were all pale with fright, holding their full and straight chests with both hands, trembling.All the guests attending the open-air party were alert, took a step back, and put on a defensive posture.But the white-haired Rhine didn't realize it, the smile on his face made people want to punch him.

The fellow seemed to relish the frightened, cowed look of the other half-elves.He must be a Tier [-], his contempt for the weak is hidden in his bones, and he usually doesn't show it, but at this moment he deliberately provokes Harvey, just wanting to see others make a fool of himself.

The person in charge, Eckert, didn't expect Rhine to have such a bad personality, so he quickly said, "Mr. Harvey, don't get me wrong. Rhine is a solo adventurer who happened to pass by Water Snake Town. He and I are not familiar with each other either. We are not familiar with the things he said. Do not know at all."

"What kind of solo adventurer? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Harvey's face became even more angry, but he finally stopped advancing and waited for the other party's explanation.

Adventurers are not enough to protect themselves in the wild, and even professionals who have mastered the Heart of the Mirror need the support of their companions when they are exhausted.Adventurers must act in groups, ranging from three to 40 people, and as many as hundreds of people.This is basic common sense, there is no such thing as a lone adventurer.Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep comfortably in the wild, so why would he talk about adventures?
"Yes, yes." Eckert said with a smile: "It's just that few people know about it, but they are indeed adventurers registered in the union and perform certain special tasks. Mr. Rhine has a letter of introduction from the adventure union of Strom City, I am responsible for receiving him and providing him with some convenience, but I am not good at disclosing the tasks he performs."

Rhine didn't care that the head of the local trade union revealed his old background at all, and said with a smile: "There is nothing I can't say... My mission is to track down the wolf shepherd girl Bertina, which was directly announced by the Strom City Council, and ordinary adventure groups can't get it at all." tasks like this."

"What's this saying? I can see reward notices for catching wolf shepherds in my adventurer's guilds everywhere." The head of an adventure group was annoyed that Rhine had just provoked the incident, and questioned it on the spot.

The white-haired half-elf looked back at him, and said with an unchanged smile: "It's different... The employer of the adventure group is the Adventurer's Union, and our employer may be a famous family or the city-state council. We only treat our own employers Responsible, the adventurers union has no right to interfere with our missions. The leaders of the unions in various city-states call us 'lone adventurers', but in fact we should be called 'bounty hunters'."

"Bounty hunter?" Victor looked at Rhine suspiciously, but he didn't see anything about this burly man like a hunter.

Rhine explained in a flat tone: "Yes, nobles from famous families always have some troubles. They don't want others to know, and it's inconvenient to solve them themselves, so they ask us to solve their troubles for him. For example, the famous Nightingale family in Strom City also hire The bounty hunter hunted down some famous nobles. But please rest assured, that is not my task. My companion and I are only responsible for tracking down the whereabouts of the wolf shepherd girl. There is no need for this kind of task to be kept secret."

Harvey snorted, and shouted: "Who knows, what you said is true or not? Now all the messy things can be pushed to the head of the wolf shepherd girl!"

"If you don't believe me, I can't help it." The white-haired half-elf sighed, spread his hands, and said helplessly.

"You still have accomplices?" Victor asked with a frown.

"Of course, but I don't need to tell you, just like Mr. Victor doesn't need to tell me, your real identity."

"Are you under the mayor of Water Snake Town?"

"No."

"What is your relationship with the mayor's wife?"

"Lady Christine is a beautiful, elegant lady, but I don't know her, I haven't even met her or Mayor Middleton."

"You're not the mayor's subordinate, and you don't know Mrs. Christine, so why did you appear here?" Victor asked rudely.

Even Eckert, the head of the adventure union, several caravan stewards, and the head of the adventure group felt that his questioning attitude was too domineering and very rude.The white-haired half-elf Rhine finally showed his impatience, and asked back: "Don't you think you have asked too many questions? Why should I answer you?"

"My lord asks you something, and you have to answer it! Otherwise, I'll make you..." Harvey threatened confidently, but was stopped by Victor's shoulder.

When they met for the first time, they were still strangers. Victor publicly interrogated each other, and Rhine actually answered his questions. He expressed some dissatisfaction, but Harvey threatened him nakedly.Frankly speaking, such a straightforward dialogue is incomprehensible to onlookers.

Harvey, his mind and body are abnormal, and he is blindly obedient to Victor.Victor, on the other hand, ignored the idlers, but he was not an idiot who didn't know anything. He already clearly felt that Rhine needed him, so he would answer every question.

However, there are other people present here, so why let them listen in?

Victor raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "White-haired Rhine. I'm getting more and more interested in you. I hope we can find a place where we can chat alone."

Rhine didn't seem to agree with him at all. He glanced at Harvey, who was staring at him, and said, "I dare not chat with you alone. I'm afraid that Mr. Harvey will chop off my head."

The more he said this, Victor became more certain of his judgment, and asked calmly, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Rhine nodded, pointed to the long table arranged in the corner of the garden, and said: "The mayor of Middleton has prepared food, wine, and beauties for the guests. We should not disappoint the master's kindness. Anyway, I am a little hungry now, so it is better for everyone Let's go there together, chat while eating, and get to know each other... What do you think?"

Victor said without hesitation, "Okay."

He added in his heart: I just want to see your performance.
