Brod's body jumped on the ground in fright, and he sat up with his strength, and in the light of the flare, at some point, without noticing, a man lay beside him. It can't be said to be next to each other, but the distance is definitely within the dead line for any surgeon.

Frozen in place, the tiredness affected Broad's reflexes and senses. By the time he remembered to draw his gun and hold the tactical knife, the man next to him had just raised his hands, and everything he wanted was on them.

"You'd better lie down and rest, I have no ill will, if I try to kill you, you'll be a corpse on that street." The man next to him said, "Because of your misjudgment, we are dozens of kilometers away from the city, and we will have to run back later." The man looked over, "An hour and seventeen minutes, and the endurance is quite passable." ”

Broad stared a little blankly ahead, the wilderness dyed pale red by flares. He didn't listen to the man and lay down, but he didn't make any other moves. Unlike himself, when he looked at the man just now, the natural face, as well as the smooth breathing and heartbeat that he noticed at this moment, all proved that the person next to him didn't seem to have any consumption.

It's not so much about consumption as it is about running for more than an hour as a warm-up exercise for men. Aware of the facts, Broad snorted to himself, as if laughing at himself, and his body slammed back and pressed heavily on the dirt.

"They hired you?" said Broad after a while, when most of his breath had regained, "I don't think that thing would have allowed them to do this. Your price will definitely not be cheap, probably more than 10 million holy coins. I'm not worth the price. ”

"What did you say?"

"It's easy for you to kill me. But you didn't do that, probably trying to make me realize the gap through these actions. Broad said to himself, "Well, I got it, I got it." If you don't kill me, you should want to take another sum of money from me, as money to buy your own life. This kind of thing is done by mercenaries and bounty hunters, especially this kind of mission that involves very long distances. Eight million Holy Coins, I can only get so much. ”

"However, they are also really willing to spend so many holy coins to buy my life, which I didn't expect. I always thought that when I came to a small country, I could leave all the previous things behind by disappearing on my own initiative. After saying that, he sighed to himself, and Broad's whole person seemed to be cheerful at this moment, and it seemed that he had completely cut off contact with something in the past.

"You're an empire-born?"

"Huh?" replied Broad reflexively, and then he heard something was wrong, and immediately sat up, looked at the man beside him, and seemed to sense something on that smiling face, "What do you mean? You have nothing to do with the Chesnows? Not someone hired by them?"

The man nodded, "How can I explain it to you, anyway, wait a few more minutes, wait for the other two to come over, I think you can understand quickly." It's just that I'm surprised that you're an empire-born, and I don't get any information on that. However, we can take advantage of this rare time to talk about other things, such as the Chesno family in your mouth. After patting the ground, the man motioned for Broad to lie down.

In the end, he still lay on the ground, but Broad did not speak, as if he did not want to talk.

"Is the Chesnow family famous? I don't think I heard this last name when I was in the Empire. ”

"It's not famous, it's the absolute ruler of the shadows in a large area, and it's inextricably linked with all walks of life there, the dark world, the open trades, including the management departments of various cities, and so on. The hereditary marquis family, if you know the empire, you should understand the weight of it. ”

"No wonder you can't remember, Marquis. I thought I hadn't been back for a while and had misremembered the family names. The man sighed, but not for the title of the marquis, but for more than a year, recalling the information of the empire, there would be doubts.

Broad smiled, "Yes, Marquis." Filled with confusion and mockery of the man's contempt, "It seems that you haven't been in the empire for long. It seems that the marquis is pressed by the big family above, but in the eyes of other forces and families, a hereditary marquis is a mountain that cannot be crossed. ”

"I agree with you, then can you tell me why this Chesno family hired me、、、 suppose to hire someone else to hunt you down? No, since it's the Marquis family, you don't even have this power?"

"No、、、 you、、、、" Broad felt that something seemed wrong with the atmosphere, he sat up again and looked at the man next to him, "Sir, I want to 、、、"

"You can call me Soriatu, but you'll have to call me 'boss' after that, so just call me boss. As for 'Soriatu', just know it. Kasia looked at Brod and smiled, "It's better to lie down, the other two are still a few minutes away, it's a surprise, you understand when you see them." ”

Broad then lay down again, for it was much more comfortable. However, he was silent and did not speak.

"You killed someone from the Chesnoe family, and that person is still important?" continued Kasia, "but that's a bit wrong. If the deceased is important, then there is absolutely protection around them. With your current strength, it seems that there is no way to deal with those who protect them. Is it because of your own identity, which makes the Chesnow family have a scruple that they can't send people directly from within the family, but need to hire bounty hunters?"

"On the other hand, you seem to know the Chesnow family very well, and you hear it in the words. I feel so. Kasia continued, "You're from the Chesnows," Brod, who was on the side, reacted slightly, "But, since you don't want to talk about it, forget it." ”

"Killed a man who had the status of an heir. After a while, Broad took a long breath, "But there was a lot of luck and accident that time. Of course, as you guessed, I'm from the Chesnow family, otherwise I wouldn't have had a chance to get close to being a member of the heir status. It's just that I always feel unfair when I think about it, but now it's gone, it's still my own reason. ”

"Mr. Broad, you should also be an heir, right? From the perspective of the surgical development project, your first ten minutes of state should be the fusion of the two projects. Without the support of strength and family, and without a little identity in it, it is probably difficult to obtain. On the other hand, in the Marquis family, it seems that the vast majority of them retain the distinction between direct and collateral lines. The one who died should be the direct one, and you, Mr. Broad, are the inconsequential sideline. "I don't know if I'm right, I should be right, but I still know a little bit about it, though not much." ”

"Basically the same. Broad replied, and Kasia fired two flares at the same time.

"So there is a reason why the Marquis is pressed by the twenty-three major dukes. Even if there is still such a thing as you in the Grand Duke's family, as long as it is handled properly, it is the capital for your own promotion. Anyway, the internal tolerance of the Grand Duke's family is completely incomparable to that of other title families. ”

"Mr. Soriatu, are you from the twenty-three princes?" Brod sat up anyway, he thought it was awkward to lie down on such a topic.

Silence shifted to Kasia's side, and after a short while, Kasia sat up, "The other two are coming. As he spoke, he fired the last-minute flare and stood up at the same time, looking ahead.

For most of the minute, in the last light of the flare, the two panting finally stepped into sight. Two flashlights turned on, illuminating the ground in front of Broad.

"Boss. Syvi and Tretke walked over, and then looked at Broad, whose eyes were constantly going back and forth between Kasia and them, "I haven't seen you in a few months, Brod, how are you talking to the boss?"

"It's a pleasure、、、," said Broad, who lives in Muna.

The four of them returned and went directly to Broad's residence, which took three hours. It was eleven o'clock in the evening, and the men were seated at the table in the small drawing-room, and Brod came over with a drink and sat aside.

"Here's the list, it's good to make sure. Kasia took out the paper she had prepared and handed it to Broad, "As I said when I came back, you can think about it, but it's only two days." I'd love to hear you on board, Mr. Broad. ”
