Chapter 23

As the only city on 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 The place where civilization and barbarism meet and merge in the era.

Those powerful tribes from the snow and ice wasteland, those wealthy businessmen with swords from the Evin Dara Islands, and people who came to the ice and snow wasteland with various purposes, all gathered here to rule such a land. A city, of course, needs a powerful ruling system, and in the entire ruling system, the most powerful, the most deterrent, and the most weighty is undoubtedly the violent institution.

The police station in Eskil City is just such a violent institution. The police here are different from the police in other places, because all the police in Eskil City have another name-the wasteland bounty hunter. Of all the criminals in Eskill City, few can escape the pursuit and hunting of these wasteland bounty hunters. The entire Eskil City and the port area by the sea are under the jurisdiction of the Eskiel 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 pulled up outside the alley. A team of policemen in black uniforms surveyed the scene solemnly. Judging from the survey situation at the scene, the guy who killed here is definitely a master. A sixth-level soldier was killed here without even the strength to fight back, and because of this, all the policemen felt like they were facing an enemy.

"It's very tricky..." A policeman in black boots crouched next to the corpse for a while, then finally shook his head and stood up, "This unlucky guy was strangled by someone, and then he was killed with a knife. The fatal wound It comes from the gap between the fifth and sixth ribs in this person's armpit..." The policeman stood up and gestured with his hands, imitating Zhang Tie's movements at that time, and it was almost inseparable, "The dagger was directly attached to this The gap between the ribs of a person pierced in, and the width of the wound was about 1.2 inches. But it did not touch the bone inside. The movement was clean and quick, with the least resistance, and the distance from the heart was the closest. This is an old hand Even the sharp style of a killer who often kills, from the strength point of view, the killer's strength is at least level 8, and the possibility of being level 9 is very high!"

The policeman who led the team frowned after listening to these words, "The city of Eskil is indeed not peaceful recently. There are too many outsiders coming, and few of these outsiders are honest..." After saying this , the police leading the team turned around and asked a person next to him, "You said you have seen what the assailant looked like, and you 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, this morning when he knew that there was a ship coming to the port. Perth and I went to the port, sir, you know, like us who run jewelry and antique shops Everyone likes to cooperate with these pioneers, because these pioneers often have some very good things in their hands that need to be sold.

And the price will not be too high. Recently, there have been many pioneers in the ice and snow desert. Many of them did not enter Eskil City, but left directly after the boat arrived. Therefore, Perth and I are completely prepared. I went to the port to try my luck, and waited at the port all morning..." The speaker rolled his eyes while talking.

"Get to the point..." The police officer leading the team waved his hand impatiently.

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

"You knew each other from the beginning?"

"Of course not. He came towards us after seeing the coded gestures that the pioneers who bought jewelry and valuables used to communicate with the two of us. You know, sir, these pioneers are some very Cunning guys, they have a special way of communicating with each other, and we have learned a little bit from our frequent contact with these people!"

"and then?"

"Then the man told Perth that he had something he wanted to sell. He was afraid that it would be too conspicuous on the pier, and he needed to go to the city to trade it. By the way, when he came over, we heard a few people who got off the boat with him The pioneers called his name, and those people called him Peter, Peter Hampres!"

"A young pioneer of seventeen or eighteen, named Peter?"

"That's right. Perth and I saw him young when we first started, so I didn't pay much attention to him. I asked Perth to go to the city with him to trade things. Perth is a veteran and is not afraid of losing money. I want to continue on my own. See if there is any business. The passengers on the boat left in a few minutes. I didn't attract other business. At that time, the rain started to pick up again. I was going to go back to the city to find Perth and see him by the way. After receiving something, I followed them into the city, only a little late, when I was queuing at the city gate to enter the city, I saw Perth and that person turn into this alley, at that time I felt something was wrong, when I chased him in, Perth was already lying here, and that person had disappeared, and the more than one hundred gold coins that Perth was carrying were also missing..."

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

"Uh... that's true!"

"Do you remember what that person looked like?"

"Remember! If you can catch that person, I am willing to offer 1000 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 needs to be investigated to determine. In this way, you should go back to the police station with Police Officer Posey and describe it in detail. That person's appearance, so we can issue a wanted warrant..." The police officer leading the team waved his hand and asked someone to bring that person back to the police station.

As soon as the man left, the policeman who was squatting on the ground took a step forward, "That guy was lying just now, there are many problems in what he said!"

"I know, but one thing that guy said is true. In any case, this matter has something to do with that young pioneer named Peter, but now the outsiders in Eskil City are too Much, it does take a beating, but we're doing our job anyway. What's wrong with getting paid for it?"

"But that guy might be a stubble!"

"Hard stubble?" 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, and only people like Samaranch can be called hard stubble here , a little pioneer. Do you think he is a knight? No matter whether he is level nine or ten, as long as he dares to challenge the rules of the snowy wasteland, there will naturally be a lot of people willing to deal with him!"

"I heard that news has come 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 first step of the man who could reunify our Bear Clan set foot on the ice and snow wasteland was here. That's why the Iron Bear Tribe began to build the Aegis here. The city of Skir, because every Slav does not want that man to come to this land and see a barren land at first sight. This legend has been circulating in the ice and snow wasteland for hundreds of years, and the man has never appeared Pass! Alright, go and complete the arrest warrant as soon as possible, by the way, what is the name of the pioneer who is going to be wanted?"

"Peter Hampres!"

"Is it another guy named Peter? What a bad name!" The police officer who led the team twisted his mouth.

"Who says it's not!"

...

The efficiency of the Eskil City Police Department was very fast. Just an hour later, the arrest warrants with the face of "Peter Hampres" printed on them had been issued to all parts of the city at an extremely fast speed. .

This is a third-level arrest warrant. The third-level arrest warrants are aimed at criminal suspects whose crimes have not been finalized. "Or "kill on the spot" on the first-level arrest warrant.

The reward on the arrest warrant is 1050 gold coins, 1000 gold coins of the 1050 gold coins come from the bounty provided by the victim, and the remaining 50 gold coins come from the public security tax of Eskil City for such vicious people who are wanted. A fixed subsidy for criminal suspects in the case, and those who provide information can get 10% of the total reward. Those who catch people to the police station can get 90% of the total bounty. If they kill people and then send them to the police station, they can only get 40% of the total bounty.

The bounty of 1050 gold coins 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 1.25 million gold coins for a first-level wanted order. There are hundreds of gold coins, anyway, this amount is enough to make most ordinary people and policemen in Eskil City beat faster when they see the arrest warrant.

The guy who said he remembered Zhang Tie's appearance actually lied. At that time on the pier, he just glanced at Zhang Tie from a distance. , especially some details of the face, I don’t remember very clearly. For this reason, the portrait of Zhang Tie drawn by the professional painter of the Eskil City Police Department that appeared on the wanted warrant was just the same as Zhang Tie’s. Before I changed my shape, I was seven or eight points similar.

Zhang Tie didn't know that he was wanted that day.

In order to deal with the beast tide in the gray hills, the Adeles merchant group recruited some low-level fighters, because the iron-toothed hyena itself is a low-level mutant beast, and its level is higher than that of ordinary wild wolves and hyenas Level one, that is, the appearance of level one, this kind of beast has limited attack ability, a soldier of level three can deal with several at the same time as long as he has a weapon in his hand, and the income of hunting this kind of thing is also very low, the level is high Some fighters don't like to do such a job at all, so only those soldiers and pioneers who are lower than level six are willing to take on such a job in order to make some money.

Now the pioneers of the entire ice and snow wasteland are running towards the crevice of the Hydra glacier, and even many low-level fighters are joining in the fun. Those who can be recruited by the Adeles business group 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 Adeles Merchant Group, when the recruiter asked Zhang Tie what his current level was, Zhang Tie said without hesitation. A bunch of nonsense.

"I'm a fourth-level warrior now!"

"Young man, I want to remind you that iron-toothed hyenas are not easy to deal with. The personnel we recruit this time must be at least level three or above. Although we will also provide some benefits for those who go to the gray hills, if your strength If it’s not enough to kill you, then you can’t blame anyone, even if you are injured, the Adeles Merchant Group will only compensate a small part of the medical expenses!”

Hearing this, Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Could it be that he is too young now, even falsely reporting a fourth-level soldier? Some people suspect that he has reported too many levels. Zhang Tie thought for a while. , perhaps for most ordinary people, a person who seems to have reached the level of a fourth-level soldier at the age of seventeen or eighteen is indeed too conspicuous, just like in Heiyan City, if you follow your original trajectory, don’t say it now Level four, even if you can reach the level of a second-level soldier, it is not bad, and level three is almost something that people like Gries can reach.

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

"Okay then, this is the employment agreement, press a fingerprint here!" The person in charge of the recruitment took a look at Zhang Tie and pushed a form over.

"Don't you need ID?"

"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 handprint on the form without hesitation.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Huo Yi!" Zhang Tie made up a new name for himself without hesitation. Anyway, this time he came here for Qiliguo, and the other things are small things. There is no tax for naming himself. It's not easy to find, so it's better to be thorough...

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

After completing the registration procedures, Zhang Tie was arranged by the Adeles 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 in police uniforms Holding the arrest warrant of "Peter Hampres", he began to investigate the occupants of the small inn...
