Pale Emblem

Chapter 108 Mutation
Among the few guests present, the caravan steward with a wealthy background had more or less heard of the deeds of the "Bounty Hunter".

According to legend, the "Bounty Hunter" was once a powerful force of the Earth Temple.They have long since parted ways with the current Earth Temple, but they retain their own inheritance and serve exclusively for the famous highland families.

Bounty hunters are stealthy, capable, and keep their promises. They only accept the employment of famous nobles to solve some difficult problems for them.No matter how much money the city-state giants spend, they can't hire "bounty hunters" to do things for them.

In a sense, "Bounty Hunter" is also a precious resource, a special resource that belongs exclusively to highland famous families.

Being able to talk face-to-face with a bounty hunter is also something new.However, this bounty hunter named White-haired Rhine is just plain bad.

He deliberately exposed Victor's identity in public, which immediately put everyone in a dilemma.At this time, someone wanted to get away from the scene, and was afraid that Victor would misunderstand that he wanted to inform.Harvey, who is suspected to be a sixth-level venerable, still holds a sword in his hand, and he can kill here with one sword alone.Moreover, the mayor did not show up for a long time, and his personal guards quietly withdrew again.What can an unarmed guest do against a gang of fallen nobles?
Let me ask, who would dare to take the lead in leaving in the face of this situation?

Eckert, the head of the trade union, was dumbfounded, and the rest of the guests also looked ugly.

Victor had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, and he found this matter very interesting.

The white-haired Rhine pushed the party guests to the opposite of Victor with a few words.Actually pitting them against each other constitutes a delicate balance.

With reference to the military configuration of the Iron Rhino Caravan, the caravan stewards and adventure group leaders who were left here, including the trade union leader Eckert, each have armed guards. If their men are added together, there will be about 400 to [-] people. , and still an elite fighter.

The reason why they are being led by the nose by Rhine now, feel aggrieved and helpless, there are no more than two reasons.

First, the caravan steward and the head of the adventure group have a big family and a big business, and they always try to avoid getting involved in the internal struggles of famous families, so they are timid in front of Victor.

Secondly, Harvey has shown his strength.He holds a long sword, within a few meters, it is equivalent to putting the blade of the sword under someone's neck.Few people can ignore the threat Harvey brings, especially when confronting Harvey without weapons and equipment, I am afraid that he will kill him on the spot after a few encounters.

If it is said that the guests who participated in the open-air party have become hostages, then Victor and the others are the desperadoes who took the hostages.But from another perspective, Victor's actual situation is no better than the hostages.

Victor and Harvey could not stand up to an army of several hundred men.Not to mention the army, even the few professionals present are by no means weak.As long as they join forces to siege, McGrady, Ruth and Jessica who have no combat effectiveness will all die here.Whether Harvey can fight his way out of the encirclement of the guards in Water Snake Town is not certain.

As long as Victor dares to do something to these guests, it must be the result of two defeats and fear of death.

Rhein created opposition and established himself as a key player.He has weapons and equipment, and he doesn't look weak.When a conflict broke out between the two sides, as long as Rhine was willing to block Harvey for a moment, Eckert and the guests could call the guards to rush in to make a rescue.

However, Rhine miscalculated Victor.

Freedom is a property of the air element.Victor, who is compatible with the wind element, is often free from the shackles of emotion, morality, and social rules.He never hesitates in doing things. When necessary, he can discard Ruth and Jessica; he can discard Maddy; he can even discard Harvey without any psychological burden.

This is the unruly wind, ruthless because it does what it wants.

The guards, private soldiers, and adventurers of Water Snake Town, relying on their superior numbers, want to capture Victor, who has the talent of popularity, boiling blood, and activation?
It's almost impossible for them to succeed.

Victor can leave and come whenever he wants, no one can control him, so why should he worry?
Victor is now wondering what the purpose of the white-haired Rhine is.He tilted his head to look at the other party, and asked indifferently: "Do you think I am a defector from the famous Golden Nightingale family, and you will inform the famous Golden Nightingale family?"

When a guest heard this sentence, he was about to defend himself, but after thinking about it, he kept his mouth shut.Regardless of whether Victor was a fugitive pursued by the famous Golden Nightingale or not, they had to report the matter to their backstage bosses.In the end, whether to inform the famous Golden Nightingale family is up to the backstage boss to decide.Now, they are telling Victor that they are not going to tell the truth, it is just sophistry, and it may completely irritate the other party, so it is better to keep silent, and it is best not to attract Victor's attention.

The white-haired Rhine untied the big sword, put it on the side of his seat, nodded with a smile and said, "It seems so."

His sharp eyes swept over every "honest" guest, and finally fell on the face of the white-haired Rhine. Victor asked again: "What if I don't care? We dare to come to the open-air party, and we are not afraid of someone to inform us. Is it reasonable for me to say this? Anyone of you can leave now if you want, and I will never stop...except Mr. Rhine. You, you can't leave. "

Rhine tried to keep everyone, but Victor refused to let him be satisfied, because he wanted to see his reaction.

Sure enough, Rhine tapped the tabletop of the long table with his index finger, attracting everyone's attention, and said slowly: "I heard from President Eckert that Water Snake Town often holds open-air parties, which is convenient for caravans and adventure groups to exchange news. and intelligence. Today’s open-air gathering, the host has not arrived yet, so it would be rude for us to adjourn the meeting now.”

Victor raised his eyebrows and asked, "Others are here to exchange intelligence and news; I'm here to get acquainted with 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 ask for help... Branch President Eckert can testify for me."

The person in charge of the adventure union instantly became the target of public criticism. He smiled awkwardly and explained: "Mr. Rhine followed the wolf shepherd bandit Bertina and passed by Water Snake Town. He needs some useful clues... Everyone knows that the wolf shepherd girl The bandit Bertina is a public enemy of the alliance, and as the person in charge of the Adventurer's Union stationed in Water Snake Town, I am obliged to assist the bounty hunters who hunt down the bandit Bertina. Therefore, I will bring Mr. Rhine to today's party."

Everyone was in an uproar, and a caravan steward asked directly, "Ector, do you mean that Bertina, the wolf shepherd, passed by Water Snake Town, or that she is nearby?"

"Don't be nervous, everyone, listen to me."

Rhine raised her hands, signaling to the audience to be calm, and said, "I guarantee that Bertina, the wolf shepherd girl, is not in Water Snake Town at the moment, and she will not threaten anyone here. However, since I tracked down Water Snake Town, it means that she Passed by. Did any of you meet her?"

"Are you joking?"

The head of a certain grumpy adventure group yelled loudly: "If we encounter Bertina, the female wolf shepherd, will we still be able to attend today's party? She is a large armed caravan that attacked Zhuming's family. She can't get enough between her teeth."

Victor's eyes lit up suddenly, and he raised his voice: "Don't make noise! ​​Mr. Rhine, how can you prove that you are not a liar? If you can track Bertina, how can the alliance let her escape?"

Rhine said: "I don't want to prove anything. You can listen to my story and judge whether I am a liar or not. Those who are not interested in the wolf shepherd girl can leave, but I don't think anyone will leave. After all, about Bertina News is valuable, very valuable."

The reward hanging on the head of the wolf shepherd girl is as high as a million gold pagoda, which is undoubtedly an unimaginable wealth.And the armed caravans and adventure groups of all sizes are themselves interested in Bertina's intelligence.

Everyone became quiet, but Rhine was not in a hurry to start telling stories.He reached out and grabbed a half-elf slave girl who was delivering fruit, and pressed her on his lap.This half-elf female slave has been trained, and she didn't let out a scream when she was caught off guard by a guest. Instead, she quickly covered her small mouth, only whispered softly, and let Rhine do whatever she wanted to her. She was so tender and pitiful. .

The half-elf slaves kept by the mayor of Middleton are all young and beautiful, with fair and delicate skin. They are obviously not good at working, and they are purely private slaves who entertain guests with beauty.Even if she was held in Rhine's arms and rubbed wantonly, the half-elf slave did not resist, and even adjusted her posture quietly, catering to her with a shy face.

Rhine is tall and handsome, with unique silver hair and red agate-like eyes, and his gestures are full of the masculine beauty of a male half-elf.The half-elf female slave can get Rhine's attention, even in full view, just 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 treated their guests with beautiful female slaves, just imitating the style of a wealthy family.The guests who are eligible to participate in the party are all determined professionals, and no one will play with the mayor's slave girl like Rhine.

They all looked at Rhine with disdain, maybe a little envy, jealous of his free and easy, domineering, and unscrupulous?
With his nuanced perception, Victor was able to grasp the state of mind of these people.Despite Rhine's skillful disguise, Victor didn't see male desire in his eyes.

Rhine's big hand moved under the half-elf slave's skirt, clearly checking her body.

Victor often does the same to Ruth and Jessica.

Professional physicians can sense the physical condition of half-elves at close range by stimulating the ability of secret blood.Victor does not have this ability, he can only check Ruth and Jessica's body temperature, skin toughness, muscle strength, bone hardness, instinctive reaction and other physical conditions through touch, especially after they take drugs, the body changes Both need to be documented.

Victor didn't care about the sex of the subject at all.If Ruth and Jessica were male, he would do the same.

It was too strange for Rhine to secretly examine the body of the half-elf female slave of the mayor's house.

Is there anything special about the slave girl of the mayor's house?

As soon as Victor thought about it, he looked at the half-elf slave girl a few more times.

"It feels good, but it's a pity that the beautiful female slave is not suitable for me." Rhine suddenly pushed away the red-faced female slave, and smiled at Victor: "A bounty hunter like me has been running outside all year round, and a weak woman can't follow me Suffering. I can't take care of them."

Hey, this guy is very perceptive. He found out that I had seen through his actions, and deliberately changed the subject to prevent me from exposing him in public?
Victor thought to himself, and said, "A strong and healthy slave girl is suitable to follow you?"

"Barbarian slaves? Haha, forget it, I will be laughed to death... My employers are all famous nobles. If they hear that the white-haired Rhine loves barbaric 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 females."

The bounty hunter looked over Victor, landed on Ruth and Jessica behind him, and asked, "Mr. Victor, I think your two maids are very good, can you sell them to me? "

This turn of events was a real surprise.When Victor rescued Ruth and Jessica from the orc bone collectors, he judged that there were forces within the Disa Alliance colluding with the orc gangs to resell half-elf female professionals.

Is it a coincidence that Rhine expressed his intention to buy Ruth and Jessica without even asking whether they were slave girls?
Maybe, it's a test...

wrong!Rhine has been arousing my curiosity. He seems to be able to see into my weakness, which is strong curiosity. He uses this to restrain my behavior... Victor's will seems to be split into two, one is full of curiosity, Eager to explore the purpose of the white-haired Rhine, and would rather be led by the nose by him; the other examines his own emotional problems calmly and objectively.

Victor didn't understand what conditions triggered such wonderful changes in the mental body, but he had already realized that the white-haired Rhine might have the special ability to confuse people.

"When I picked them up in the wild, they were already crazy. I don't know their identities, and I'm not their master. How could I sell them to you as private slaves?" Victor turned his thoughts, half-true Half-fake to test Rhine.

Rhine pondered and said: "According to the law of the alliance, the recipient or her family must pay a reward to the rescuer when rescuing a half-elf in distress in the wild. If the recipient is unwilling to pay the reward, then she will serve as the rescuer's Private slaves, trade."

"This is to encourage the half-elves to help their compatriots in distress, and the alliance is willing to protect the interests of the rescuers."

"You can resell the two of them to me, the price is negotiable." Rhine said sincerely.

With a "snap", Victor slapped the pure gold thorium sword with sheath on the table, raised the corners of his mouth, showing his white teeth, and said with a smile, "Okay... If the price you offer doesn't satisfy me, You're just kidding me. At your own peril..."

Harvey, who was standing beside Victor, immediately untied his hands, arched his back slightly, and narrowed his eyes, the luster in his eyes had froze.

The third-order half-elf inflator that ignites the fire of the soul, the will is revealed, like a beast that chooses to eat.

"Wow", "Wow", all the guests sitting at the table pushed down their chairs, stood up one after another, and retreated together.They had no doubt that Harvey was about to explode and hurt people.Rhine, his target, put his hand on the hilt of the greatsword.

The atmosphere in the small garden became extremely tense, and the half-elf maids around were also holding their breath in fright.They were very confused, the guests were fine just now, why are they going to do it all of a sudden?
Harvey's aura was extremely fierce and violent, and Rhine had to be on full alert, and he couldn't continue to speak.He knew that Harvey was strong, but he didn't expect that a strong man like Harvey could carry out Victor's will without any scruples and reservations.

It was only now that Rhine clearly realized that it was not he who had the initiative, but Victor.

Of course, Harvey's aura can only affect within a few meters.At the critical moment, the sound of guards' chaotic footsteps came from outside the small garden.Everyone thought that the mayor of Middleton was coming.In fact, a group of heavily armed personal guards rushed into the garden in a panic, and the leading professional shouted to the person in charge of the Adventurer's Union:

"Master Eckert, something has happened!"

"...Mayor Middleton, he, he is dead..."
