boy and bone

Tai Qiao anxiously followed the man in knightly attire, leaning forward from time to time and whispering, "It's not good for us to leave Miss Dovkaff alone in the hotel."

Kerns showed embarrassment: "It's even worse for her to follow. Don't worry, she is very good at taking care of herself. Let's focus on your affairs."

Tai Qiao nodded solemnly when he remembered that his life had not yet been settled.

He led Kerns to check the location of the shipwreck. Kerns analyzed the terrain and the distribution of the sea area. The coast closest to the shipwreck belongs to this floating gold capital. It is the nearest survival channel.

However, Fujin is not considered a small town with a large population. If you want to find a boy of twelve or thirteen years old here, it is not as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. What's more, the boy has a magic bone on his body and he dare not show off in the city, so his whereabouts are even more difficult to be discovered. .

In fact, Tai Qiao didn't want to meet the young man, as long as the young man didn't come to him, he would be thankfully a vegetarian for the rest of his life, so why would he want to send him to his door?It's a pity that the holy deer knight he hired didn't think so. He thought that instead of guarding against the young man's conspiracy at some time, it would be better to fight him openly.

They decided to go ashore and come to this Fujindu.However, he had no time to hide, let alone contact with that dangerous and unknown person...

"Hey..." Tai Qiao sighed all the way behind Kerns: "Your Excellency Kerns, we really don't think about it anymore? I hired you to protect my life, not to let you bring danger to in front of me."

Kerns understood his feelings: "Avoiding can't solve the problem. You don't know when the other party will attack. I can't protect you for the rest of your life. The safest way is to dig out the potential danger, dig it in front of us, and then solve it." Drop him."

Tai Qiao was worried. His original intention was to find a safe place to hide, and let the knight resist when he encountered danger. Who knew that the knight he found was a stunned young man who insisted on rushing to the death zone to stop him. Can't stop it.

"I admire Your Excellency Knight for your openness, but openness needs a certain amount of strength to support you. You are a holy deer knight and you don't have to worry about many things, but I'm just a commoner, and I can't handle it. In case of danger I missed it, and I'm afraid it will hurt you."

When Kerns heard this, he stopped and stood side by side with Tejo's retreating figure. He comforted Tejo and said, "If that boy is really a monster as you said, I can't stand it alone, I know Your worries are not based on stupidity, I will not put us in danger without enough strength."

"Then aren't you going to dig out 'Danger' now?" Tejo said confusedly.

Kerns said: "I want to find out the danger as soon as possible, but we have limited clues. Instead of scurrying around like a headless chicken, we should gather enough strength first. Let's find help now."

helper?Tai Qiao seemed to suddenly open up, that's not bad.But he changed his mind and became worried again: "But I don't have that much money in my pocket to hire others."

Kerns smiled slyly: "Don't worry, you don't need any money." He patted Taicho on the shoulder, then raised his hand and pointed forward. A bounty tavern stood across the street.

"The tavern?" Tejo was puzzled.

Kernes walked across the street with him, and Kernes pointed to the cutting board hanging on the double-leaf door, on which were scrawled three distinctive lines:

"When you come to Anise, don't look at your scepter and medal; pay attention to your feet, the mud is mixed with blood; drink a pot of osmanthus wine, and make friends even if you meet enemies."

Every bounty tavern will hang these three sentences in front of the door to show that they are different from ordinary taverns, just like a joint signal to attract people in need.

Tai Qiao has been in the market all year round, and he is very good at these rules. He immediately understood Kerns' intentions, and said with a smile: "The black knights in the bounty tavern also need money."

Kerns didn't answer, just pushed the man straight into the tavern door, and then settled him on the high stool in front of the counter. He waved to the boss: "Where is the communication microphone?"

"Over there, there's a row in the corner of the wall." The boss wiped his wine glass and couldn't help responding.

"Where are the star map threads of each black knight regiment printed?"

"There is a stack on the table, and one is randomly selected. They are all regular black knights registered with the bounty guild."

"Thank you." Kerns said.

Techo thought that the Knights of the Sacred Deer were very strict and old-fashioned. In the impression of ordinary people, they were like the people in the shrine, which symbolized a kind of noble honor. He did not expect that the people in front of him However, the Holy Deer Knight is also very comfortable in the bounty tavern where fish and dragons are mixed together.

Kerns didn't see the slightly admiring gaze in Tejo's approval. He took out a piece of thread printing paper and handed it to Techo: "You told me before that a group of black knights found you, and their members were The thugs hired on the ship, those members unfortunately encountered accidents. They found you because they wanted to find out who the murderer of their brother was."

Tejo nodded: "Yes."

Kerns said: "You contact them. They are eager for revenge. You don't need to spend money to hire them. They can just stand on the same side as you. And they are not lacking in strength. They are the right choice for helpers. You can tell them that you have I found some clues about the murderer, and let them come to Fujindu, and the place is in this tavern."

"What clues do we have?" Tejo asked strangely.He and Kerns had just arrived in Fujindu for a few days, and they basically just went shopping with Miss Dovkoff these days, and there was no sign of the boy at all.

"...You just say it like this, call the people first, and when the time comes, the helpers are all together, and everyone can look for the clues together." Kerns' original intention was to plan to empty the white wolf: "You know that the emblem of the Black Cavalry ?"

"Iron dagger lizard, it's a pattern of a lizard wrapped around a dagger. I see each of them has a tattoo like this on their arm."

Kerns glanced at the paper sheet full of communication threads: "No. 78 Black Knights, go."

Tejo was worried. He didn't know if Kerns' method would work. After thinking for a while, he went to the corner of the tavern to pick up the Grass Golden Bell microphone and traced the spiral star map on it.

Seeing that Techo seemed to have communicated with the other side of the microphone with his back leaning against the corner, Kerns turned his head and asked the owner of the tavern: "Where is the largest letter house here?"

"It's just around the corner from Front Street." The boss was busy with the passing customers, so he gave vague instructions to the customer who didn't order a bottle of wine after sitting down.

Kernes has some personal matters to settle.Ever since he came to Fujindu, he had a premonition that he might have a clue about the 24 believers. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or God's will. The possible weapon to kill the 24 believers—the original owner of the Eye of Sorrow left the holy deer After that, he settled in Fujindu.

It happened that he could take this opportunity to sort out the unresolved task.As for the exact address of the original owner who now lives in Fujindu, Kerns is not clear.But in the current situation of Kerns, he can't directly ask the people in the Holy Deer Palace. When he was tracking down the 24 believers, he was suppressed by the people above. Looking for the original owner of the Eye of Sorrow in the past, the people above will definitely think that he is provoking trouble, and the punishment that will fall on him will not only be going out to work, maybe he will be expelled from the Holy Deer Palace and removed from his office. Knight coat of arms.

So this matter can only be done by him in secret, he can't say anything before he is fully sure, he can't rely on anyone or anything related to the Holy Deer Palace, he can only rely on himself, and rely on the simplest means.

Tai Qiao put down the microphone and let out a long breath, then turned around and came to Kerns: "The people from the Iron Dagger Lizard agreed, they can go to Fujindu tonight, and the location is about this tavern."

Kerns turned his head to look at the bright sunshine outside the window. There was still a long time before nightfall, which was enough.He said: "There is still some time, you wait here, I have some personal matters to deal with."

When Tai Qiao heard this, he quickly stopped him and said, "No, what if the devil kills you right when you leave me? I have to follow you, and I have to follow you when I go to the toilet."

Kerns smiled wryly and had no choice: "Okay."

The letter house at the corner was flying a blue flag, Kerns went in and asked the person who was delivering the letter, he said: "Hello, I'm here to pick up a letter from a friend, my name is Goli Ma."

The lady sitting on the long table at the front desk said: "We deliver all the letters to the postbox with the address indicated by the address. You don't need to go to the letter house to pick them up."

"But my friend didn't receive the letter. Her letter should be delivered on time every month, but she didn't receive it this month."

"Where did it come from? Who is the sender? Who is the recipient? Let's see if there is a registration record." The lady said.

Kerns said: "Kuixibat Territory, Knight City, Sacred Deer Palace. The recipient is Goli Ma."

The lady flipped through the thick booklet at hand, which contained densely packed addresses.But after a while, she fixed her eyes on a registration message and said: "Goli Ma's letter has been delivered three days ago, and I have a receipt record here."

Kerns pretended to be surprised and said, "It's strange, she told me she didn't receive it, and asked me to check it for her."

The lady behind the long table shook her head: "We don't know about that."

Kerns said again: "Can I have a look at the registration records? Could it be that the mailing address was wrongly written and sent to another place?"

The lady didn't think much about it, because this was indeed a common thing, and she handed the thick volume to Kerns.

Kerns took a closer look, silently recorded the address in his mind, and then returned the register to the lady behind the long table: "Thank you."

Tai Qiao looked dizzy from the side, but because Kerns had said that this was his own private matter, Tai Qiao didn't dare to inquire too much, so he followed Kerns out of the letter hall and walked to other places in a daze.

This is an ordinary house, in a neutral place on a street, the dark red lacquered wooden door is repainted and shiny, unknown flowers are planted on both sides of the house, and lush vines are coiled on half of the house wall, It looks like there lives a man who loves life.

Kerns rang the bell on the door.

After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and a young girl with long flaxen hair was standing behind the door wearing a thin shawl.

Her violet eyes were full of surprise: "Kerns?"

The handsome face of the young knight seemed to be more stable than when they parted. His heels were close together and his upper body was standing straight in front of her: "Knight Commander Golly."

"Ride, knight commander..." Tai Qiao couldn't believe that the weak woman next door in front of him turned out to be a knight commander, and she was honored by a holy deer knight. What level is that...
