Chapter 56: The Bounty Hunter Emblem
Chapter 56: The Bounty Hunter Emblem
It is worth noting that in his previous life, the famous NBA star O'Neal was only around 2.2 meters tall and weighed 300-400 pounds.
The heavy weapons wielded by ogres can even penetrate through plate armor and cause shock damage to the flesh of knights.
"Moreover, ogres like to gather Gorgons, werewolves, and other creatures as their minions. When ogres attack human villages, these minions will also come to get a piece of the action!"
Rain nodded, now understanding why Sir Hamilton placed so much importance on ogres.
Turns out the opponent is not only formidable in one-on-one combat but also capable of rallying a group of 'henchmen' as minions.
"Sir Hamilton, is it not possible to set up a trap and lure the ogre into it before surrounding and killing it? Why do we have to fight the ogre head-on?" This was the point that Rain found most incomprehensible.
After all, it was humans' ability to use tools that allowed them to kill large ferocious beasts.
Sir Hamilton shook his head and said, "Digging traps might work against ordinary beasts, but for ogres, their danger sense is very strong. They can easily discover and avoid traps. Trying to defeat them with traps is like a fantasy."
"This includes raging beasts as well; they all possess extremely strong danger sense abilities."
"So, when facing them, there aren't many clever methods. Humans can only rely on their own extraordinary strength." Sir Hamilton explained.
This made Rain suddenly realize!
Ogres are so difficult to deal with that once they launch an attack on human settlements, it often results in heavy casualties.
For the local sheriff, the appearance of ogres in his jurisdiction is an extremely serious security concern.
"Alright, enough talk about ogres. Rain, I have something here that I believe you'll like."
Hearing Sir Hamilton's words, Rain showed curiosity.
"I just got this." Sir Hamilton took out a round, pale yellow emblem from his drawer, slightly larger than a gold coin, and handed it to Rain.
Rain reached out and took it, examining it carefully.
The emblem felt heavy in Rain's hand, and authoritative. Judging from the material, it should be a copper product.
It seemed to be mixed with a small amount of other metal, the color resembling gold but slightly darker, with a beautiful hue.
The front of the emblem depicted a roaring wolf's head, with sharp fangs and fierce eyes, all carved vividly.
On the back were the words Rain Calan, Master County Glintstone Town, and a long string of numbers.
"This is the Junior Bounty Hunter's emblem. With it, you can carry weapons with you at all times." Sir Hamilton revealed the secret.
"So, this is the Bounty Hunter's emblem, but how did you get it so quickly?" A glimmer of joy flashed in Rain's eyes.
"Haha, Rain, you're lucky. Your application was submitted right at the time node, otherwise, you'd have to wait at least another month." Sir Hamilton smiled slightly.
Rain nodded, feeling that his luck was indeed good.
With the Bounty Hunter's emblem, he could carry weapons with him, ensuring greater safety.
Unlike before, when dealing with thugs, he wouldn't have to rely on a hammer!
However, Rain became pensive.
Not long after.
Rain left Sir Hamilton's office, wrapped the two-handed greatsword in a large piece of sheepskin, slung it over his shoulder, and headed home.
(End of Chapter)Although he now had the bounty hunter emblem, Rain didn't want to flaunt it in public.
"When it comes to people, be low-key, but when it comes to actions, be bold!"
Just then, Velen approached with a delighted expression.
"Captain Velen, is there something you need?" Rain asked.
"Here you go! These are your spoils of war. The quartermaster has just finished evaluating them." Velen smiled and handed Rain a large sack.
"Such efficiency! It's truly admirable!" Rain's face also lit up with a smile.
Taking the sack from Velen, Rain weighed it in his hands, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Opening it, he found his guess confirmed.
"Why are there so many?"
Rain's astonishment was not without reason, as inside the sack were exactly ten imperial gold coins.
"The quartermaster assessed that the spoils were worth 20 gold and 9 silver. I'm giving you 10 gold, and I'll take care of the change. Is that okay?" Captain Velen said with a smile.
"Of course, it's fine!"
"No, I mean, you've given me too much." Rain said sincerely.
"This is what you deserve! Alright, you can go now. I also need to distribute the money to the others." Velen patted Rain's shoulder, not giving him a chance to refuse.
"Thank you, Captain Velen. Goodbye."
As Rain watched Velen walk away, he carefully placed the money bag in his chest, feeling delighted.
At this moment, he suddenly touched the strange ore.
"Why not take a detour to the blacksmith shop and ask Boris about this ore?"
"Forget it, let's go home first. It's not urgent."
Rain looked up at the darkening sky and abandoned his plan to go to the blacksmith shop, heading directly towards his home.
At this time, 'Venom Blade' had already arrived near Rain's house, completed the terrain survey, and through observing the situation inside Rain's house, confirmed that Rain had not yet returned home.
Therefore, 'Venom Blade' proceeded with his plan.
As an assassin, work is work, and 'Venom Blade' never let personal emotions interfere with his tasks.
So, when his dagger slashed towards the neck of a child, a young girl, a noblewoman, or an old man that tongue works."
At the same time, his sharp dagger would ensure that the target would leave this world without too much pain.
'Venom Blade' believed that this was his greatest act of mercy.
Since the host had another request to make the target appear to have died from an accident, he had also planned accordingly.
At this moment, he was applying poison to his dagger, 'Black Stinger'. The poison's effect was rather singular, causing paralysis and dizziness.
After striking the target, he would drag them into the nearby woods.
Then, he would release some blood, knowing that the scent would soon attract beasts. When people discovered the boy's remains after a few days, they would assume that he had wandered into the woods and was attacked by wild animals.
It seemed not entirely perfect.
But the money he received from above could only allow him to achieve this level of deception.
'Venom Blade' didn't plan to spend too much effort on it.
After arranging everything, 'Venom Blade' patiently waited for the target's arrival, his face calm and composed.
"Hey! This should be him!"
'Venom Blade' smiled, for he rarely made mistakes after seeing a person's portrait. He was confident that the boy approaching from a distance was Rain, his assassination target.
Thus, he walked out of the alley with a quick step, heading towards Rain.
