Chapter 256 Conspiracy and Traps
But this is a question to be considered later.
Gaode put away this handful of golden wheat just to be prepared.
Hence, he took a few grains of golden wheat from the clay pot, rubbed open the husks, and brought the grains to Flora's mouth smoothly and naturally.
Flora's nose was slightly bent, and she smelled the smell of wheat grains. Then she opened her mouth with confidence, and Gothe fed the wheat grains into her mouth.
After chewing twice, Flora immediately narrowed her big eyes in pleasure.
The taste of Jinhui Mai is obviously to her liking.
Here, Loic and Kathleen started chatting.
What they said was exactly what Elder Grant was asked to do today.
The two of them did not shy away from Gao De. I wonder if they felt that it would not be a problem for him to hear the matter, or was it something else?
"Even with Elder Grant's power, it will definitely take less than half a month to thoroughly investigate this matter and find useful information." Katherine carelessly rubbed the golden wheat in her hand while speaking to Loic.
"Then what can we do during this period? Why wait?" Loic asked, scratching his head.
"It's not good. We two hunters stayed in Phoenix for so long for no reason. If the people behind the scenes have arranged spies in Phoenix, it would be easy to notice our abnormality." Kathleen said decisively.
"Go and pick up one or two bounty missions in Phoenix," she thought for a moment and made a decision: "The hunters in the sect often come to Phoenix to take bounty missions to earn some extra money when they are not on missions. It is reasonable."
Kathleen glanced sideways at Gothe, but didn’t care about Gothe’s interruption. She even explained a few sentences to him with her usual indifferent attitude, “Phoenix is the only place in the north that can be called a city. Since it is a city, there will naturally be So-called illegal and criminal acts occurred. "
"Phoenix itself does not have a strict law enforcement team. When encountering these illegal and criminal acts, the Zhenbing tribe usually sends hunters to arrest and punish the criminals."
Gothe nodded slightly when he heard this.
· Indeed, a place that cannot even support professional soldiers would not have the financial resources to support a "law enforcement team"
· Kathleen continued: "But the discovery of these behaviors always has a lag. If you encounter a cunning person, you may have fled Phoenix before the people of the Zhenbing tribe discovered it."
"Naturally, the Zhenbing Tribe will not allow these people to go unpunished. After all, if there are too many such things, Phoenix's authority will be gone."
"However, tracking these people in the vast snowy plains is also an extremely time-consuming matter, so in order to save labor costs and improve efficiency, Phoenix will issue bounty missions to hunt down these fugitives."
“Everyone can accept the bounty mission and exchange the heads of these fugitives for the bounty.”
“The so-called bounty is usually ice marrow.”
Ice marrow has always been the hardest currency in the North.
"That's it." Gao De suddenly realized.
"However, as of now, the content of bounty missions is no longer limited to chasing fugitives," Loic added at the right time: "All kinds of requirements will appear in bounty missions."
This is the "mission hall".
Gaode expressed that he was familiar with this.
This is the professional field of the "Hunter", the guardian of the snowfield. No wonder Kathleen said that hunters in the sect often come here to make extra money.
This is to give full play to your own strengths.
"I will pick up a suitable bounty mission and come back later." Loic volunteered.
Kathleen nodded slightly.
In the next few days, Gaode's life became extremely peaceful.
Roic and Kathleen accepted a bounty mission and started to get busy, as if they really came to Phoenix to make extra money.
As for Gaode, who was hit by the forbidden ice needle, they safely left him in Phoenix without any additional control.
One is that they believe in the forbidden law Ice Needle, and the other is that after getting along with each other these days, they also believe that Gaode is a smart person and will not make unwise decisions.
The two of them were "not at home", and Gothe didn't sit still. While resuming the practice of the "Aoki Immortality Sutra", he took Flora and wandered through the streets of Phoenix.
However, the leakage incident on the first day was just an exception after all.
In the next few days, he did not encounter such a good thing again.
After all, even though the "educational level" of the people in the north is lower, they still have basic eyesight, and few regard magic plants as worthless weeds.
The main reason why that magic plant is "dusty" is that it is still in the seedling stage and has already lost its magic.
But in fact, the only thing that is peaceful is his life.
Many waves have arisen quietly these days.
Snowfield Guardian, headquarters.
"Sir, it has been confirmed that the people investigating us are from the Zhenbing tribe." A slightly older voice sounded from the shadows.
"Zhenbing Tribe?" Another voice was full of energy.
"The Zhenbing tribe has never had anything to do with our sect, so why are we suddenly being investigated?" The owner of the voice paused for a moment, and then suddenly asked: "Has anyone from the sect been in Phoenix during this period?"
"Sir, I thought so too, so I did some research and found that only two people from the sect were in Phoenix during this period."
"Which two people?"
"The Saint and Loic."
"They?! Do you know why the Saint appeared in Phoenix?"
"According to intelligence, the two of them accepted a bounty mission in Phoenix and are currently on a mission." The old voice reported.
"Bounty mission." Another voice paused for a moment, seeming to be thinking, "No, there is a problem."
"Forgive me for being ignorant, what do you mean?"
"According to the news from the branch below, someone once claimed to be under the influence of Baruch. He was commissioned to report the news, but the person behind him didn’t know what he had discovered and escaped overnight. The Saint happened to be nearby at the time and took over the matter. "
"In this case, their current mission should be to track this person. How could they be lured to Phoenix to do a bounty mission?"
"And just after they appeared in Phoenix, the Zhenbing Tribe sent people to investigate our matter for no apparent reason?"
"How can such a coincidence happen in the world?"
"What do you mean, sir, did the Saint discover something?!" the old voice said hesitantly.
"Although we left the matter to Baruch, slaughtered the Snover clan, and destroyed all evidence, it is not foolproof. There are still many magical means to trace some clues."
"The saint happens to have some such strange means." The mage known as the Lord said coldly.
"There can't be any luck. If what we do is discovered, there will be no place in the sect."
"It's better to strike first."
"Is this a saint?!!" The old voice was stunned for a moment, obviously understanding what the other party meant, and said subconsciously.
"The saint is nothing to me. If she dies, just replace her with another one," "Sir" is still indifferent, "But it is not good to attack directly, it is easy to leave traces, it is better to use a borrowed knife to kill someone. Let's do it."
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?"
h "Borrowing the Zhenbing tribe's knife"
A small whispering voice sounded.
