Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As the only city in the ice and snow wasteland, Eskil City, like other cities, also has a complete governance system. The governance system of Eskil City is not only perfect, but also very powerful, because here, it seems that this is  It is a place where civilization and barbarism of the times meet and merge.

    From the powerful tribes in the ice and snow wasteland, from the sword-carrying merchants on the Ewendalar Islands, and people who came to the ice and snow wasteland with various purposes, they all gathered here to rule such a city.  A city, of course, needs a strong governance system, and among the entire governance system, the most powerful, the most capable of intimidating others, and the most weighty are undoubtedly the institutions of violence.

    The police station in Eskil City is exactly such a violent institution. The police here are different from the police in other places, because all the policemen in Eskil City have another name - wasteland bounty hunters.  Of all the criminals in Eskil City, few can escape the pursuit and killing of these wilderness bounty hunters.  The entire Eskil City and the seaside port area are under the jurisdiction of the Eskil City police. If you leave this area, even if you kill someone, you will no longer have anything to do with them.

    ¡­¡­

    The rain stopped, and a yellow cordon was put up outside the alley. A group of policemen in black uniforms surveyed the scene with solemn expressions. Judging from the survey of the scene, the guy who killed people here was definitely a master.  A sixth-level soldier was killed like a chicken and a dog without even being able to fight back. Therefore, all the police officers felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

    "It's very difficult" A policeman wearing black boots squatted next to the body and inspected it for a long time, then finally shook his head and stood up, "This unlucky guy was choked by someone, and then died with a knife. That fatal wound  It comes from the gap between the fifth and sixth ribs under this man's armpit" The policeman who stood up gestured with his hand, imitating Zhang Tie's movements at that time, and he was almost inseparable, "The dagger is directly against this  The gap between the ribs of the person was stabbed in. The width of the wound was one or two inches, but no bones were touched inside. The movement was clean and quick, with the least resistance, and the distance from the heart was closest. This was an experienced hand.  , even a sharp style that can only be found in a killer who often kills people. Judging from the strength, the person who killed him is at least level eight, and the possibility of being level nine is very high! "

    The policeman leading the team frowned as he listened to these words, "Eskil City is indeed not very peaceful recently. Too many outsiders have arrived, and few of these outsiders are honest" After saying this  , the police officer leading the team turned and asked a person next to him, "You said you have seen what the assailant looks like and know his name?"

    The guy being questioned was the guy who followed Zhang Tie in after he left the alley.

    "That man is a pioneer, about eighteen or nineteen years old. When we knew that a ship was arriving at the port this morning, Perce and I went to the port. Sir, you know, people like us who run jewelry and antique stores  People like to cooperate with these pioneers, because these pioneers often have some very good things that need to be sold, and the price is not too high. Recently, there have been many pioneers in the ice and snow wilderness, and many of them  We didn't even enter Eskil City and left directly after the ship arrived. Therefore, Bosi and I were fully prepared to try our luck at the port and waited at the port all morning" The speaker was talking.  While rolling his eyes.

    ¡°Let¡¯s get to the point¡­¡± The police officer leading the team waved his hand impatiently.

    "Yesyes" The guy who spoke licked his lips, "The man got off the Aurora, saw me and Perth on the pier, and walked straight towards us"

    "Have you known each other since the beginning?"

    "Of course not. He came over to us after he saw the code words used by pioneers who bought jewelry and valuables to communicate on the two of our hands. You know, sir, these pioneers are some very special people.  Cunning guys, they have a special way of communication, and we have learned a little bit about it because we often come into contact with these people!¡±

    "Then what?"

    "Then the man told Perth that he had something he wanted to sell, but he was afraid that it would be too conspicuous on the dock and that he would need to go to the city to trade. By the way, just as he was walking over, we heard several people who got off the boat with him.  The pioneers called him by name, and the men called him Peter, Peter Humphreys!"

    "A young pioneer named Peter, seventeen or eighteen years old?"

    "Yes, when Bosi and I started, we saw that he was young and didn't pay much attention to it. I asked Bosi to go to the city with him to trade things. Bosi is a veteran and is not afraid of suffering losses, but I wanted to continue on my own behind.  To see if there was any business, the passengers on the boat were gone in a few minutes, and I didn¡¯t attract anyone else.I was happy, and the rain started to get heavier at that time, so I was going to rush back to the city to find Perce and see what he had received. I followed them into the city, but I was just a little late.  Later, when I was queuing up at the city gate to enter the city, I saw Bosi and the man turning into this alley. I felt something was wrong at that time. When I chased him in, Bosi was already lying here.  And that person has disappeared, and the more than one hundred gold coins that Bosi carried have also disappeared"

    "So, you didn't see that person murder with your own eyes? And you were the only witness to the whole thing? You were the only one who saw the whole process" The policeman who asked the question narrowed his eyes slightly.

    "Uhthat's true!"

    "Do you still remember what that person looks like?"

    "Remember! If I can catch that person, I am willing to provide 1,000 gold coins as a reward!"

    "According to the information you provided, the pioneer named Peter can only be wanted as a criminal suspect. Whether he is guilty or not requires investigation to determine. In this case, you and Officer Posey first go back to the police station and give a detailed description.  That person's appearance, we can issue a wanted warrant" The police officer leading the team waved his hand and asked someone to take the person back to the police station.

    As soon as the man left, the policeman who was squatting on the ground took a step forward and said, "That guy was lying just now. There are many problems with his words!"

    "I know, but one thing that guy said is indeed true. No matter what, this matter has something to do with the young pioneer named Peter. It's just that there are too many outsiders in Eskil City now.  It¡¯s a lot, and it does need to be hammered down. Anyway, we are fulfilling our responsibilities and getting money, so what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    "But that guy might be a tough guy!"

    "Hard fight?" A proud sneer appeared on the face of the policeman leading the team, "This is the ice and snow wasteland, the territory of our Slavic bear clan. The only people here who can be called hard fight are people like Samaranch.  , a little pioneer, do you think he is a knight? No matter he is level 9 or 10, as long as he dares to challenge the rules of the ice and snow wasteland, there will naturally be a lot of people willing to deal with him! "

    "I heard that news has been reported from Erqida Mountain" Seeing that there was no one around, the policeman who spoke suddenly lowered his voice a lot.

    "Who knows, back then Erqida also said that the man who could reunite our bear clan took his first step on the ice and snow wasteland here. From then on, the Iron Bear Tribe began to build Ai here.  Skir City, because every Slav didn¡¯t want that man to see desolation at the first sight when he came to this land. This legend has been circulating in the ice and snow wasteland for hundreds of years, and the man has not appeared.  Pass! Okay, go get the wanted order as soon as possible. By the way, what is the name of the wanted pioneer? "

    "Peter Humphreys!"

    "Is it another guy named Peter? This name is really bad!" The police officer leading the team tilted his mouth.

    "Who says it's not!"

    ¡­¡­

    The efficiency of the Eskil City Police Department is very fast. Just one hour later, wanted orders with the face of "Peter Humphreys" were distributed to all parts of the city at an extremely fast speed.  .

    This is a three-pole warrant. The three-pole warrant targets criminal suspects whose crimes have not yet been finalized. Therefore, the warrant requires that they be arrested alive as much as possible instead of "death or alive" like the second-level warrant.  ¡± or ¡°kill on the spot¡± on the first-level wanted warrant.

    The reward on the wanted order is 1,050 gold coins. 1,000 of the 1,050 gold coins come from the bounty provided by the victim, while the remaining 50 gold coins come from Eskil City's security tax for those wanted for such vicious crimes.  There is a fixed subsidy for the suspect in the case. The person who provides information can get 10% of the total reward. The person who catches the person to the police station can get 90% of the total reward. If the person is killed and then sent to the police station,  Then you can only get 40 of the total bounty.

    The bounty of 1,050 gold coins for a wanted criminal is not the highest in the history of Eskil City, but it is definitely not low. The highest wanted bounty in the history of Eskil City is a first-level wanted criminal.  The order's 1.25 million gold coins, but in normal daily life, the number of rewards on the wanted order ranges from dozens to hundreds of gold coins. Anyway, this amount is enough to make most of the ordinary people in Eskil City and  When the police see the wanted poster, their hearts beat faster and their eyes widen.

    The guy who said he remembered Zhang Tie's appearance actually lied. At the dock, he only glanced at Zhang Tie from a distance and remembered Zhang Tie's back, clothes and the like very clearly, but he didn't remember Zhang Tie's appearance very well.  , especially some of the detailed features of the face, I don¡¯t remember very clearly. For this reason, the person who appeared on the wanted poster was written by Eski.The portrait of Zhang Tie painted by the professional painter of the Chengcheng Police Department is only 70-80% similar to Zhang Tie himself before he changed his appearance.

    Zhang Tie didn¡¯t know that he was wanted that day.

    In order to deal with the beast tide in the gray hills, the Adelais Merchant Group recruited some low-level warriors, because the iron-toothed hyena itself is a low-level mutant beast, and its level is higher than ordinary wild wolves and hyenas.  Level one, which is what it looks like. The attack capabilities of this kind of beast are limited. As long as a three-pole warrior has a weapon in hand, he can deal with several of them at the same time. The income from hunting this kind of thing is also very low, and the level is high.  The first-level warriors simply looked down upon doing such work, so only those soldiers and pioneers whose level was lower than level six were willing to take on such work in order to make some money.

    Now the pioneers of the entire ice and snow wasteland are running towards the cracks of the Hydra Glacier. Even many low-level warriors are joining in the fun. The Adelais Merchant Group can recruit those who are willing to go to the gray hills to fight with the iron-toothed hyenas.  There are even fewer people.

    To participate in such a mission, if the level is too high, it will be too conspicuous, so when arriving at the recruitment point of the Adelais Merchant Group, when the person in charge of recruiting asked Zhang Tie what his current level was, Zhang Tie did not hesitate.  What a load of nonsense.

    "I am now a level four soldier!"

    "Young man, I want to remind you that iron-toothed hyenas are not easy to deal with. The minimum number of people we recruit this time must be above three levels. Although we will also provide some benefits to those who go to the gray hills, if you have the strength  If it¡¯s not enough to kill him, then there¡¯s no one to blame. Even if he¡¯s injured, the Adelais Merchant Group will only compensate a small part of the medical expenses!¡±

    Hearing such words, Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. Could it be that he was too young now? Even if he falsely reported a fourth-level soldier, some people suspected that he had reported too many levels. Zhang Tie thought for a moment.  , perhaps for most ordinary people, a person who seems to have reached the fourth-level combat soldier level at the age of seventeen or eighteen is indeed too conspicuous. Just like in Black Flame City, if he follows his original trajectory, don't say it now  The fourth level is considered good even if it can reach the level of a second-level soldier. The third level is almost something that can only be achieved by people like Gris.

    "I am indeed at level four, and I have the experience of hunting down dozens of wild wolves before. I will be responsible for my decision!" Zhang Tie said confidently.

    "Okay, this is the employment agreement, put your thumbprint here!" The person in charge of recruitment looked at Zhang Tie twice and pushed a form over.

    "Don't you need identification?"

    ¡°Ha, not many people in the ice and snow wasteland have that kind of thing!¡± The guy in charge of recruitment laughed.

    Hearing this, Zhang Tie left his fingerprints on the form without hesitation.

    "By the way, what's your name?"

    "Hoy!" Zhang Tie made up a new name for himself without hesitation. Anyway, this time he came for the Qiliguo, and other things were just trivial matters. There was no tax on naming himself, so he wanted to  If it¡¯s not easy for people to find, then it¡¯s better to be more thorough

    Soon, Zhang Tie felt that he was wise at this moment.

    After completing the registration procedures, Zhang Tie was arranged by the Adelais business group to rest in a small inn in the city. He was leaving early tomorrow morning. Not long after he arrived at the small inn, Zhang Tie saw several people wearing police uniforms.  With the wanted warrant for "Peter Humphreys", I started to check the people staying in the inn (To be continued.
