Chapter 27 We are friends now!
Elliot gasped when he saw the head of a jackal inside the package.
Jackals are not as capable of growth as humans. Most of their strength is innate. Generally speaking, the larger the gnoll, the stronger it is. Some giant gnolls can even easily crush a senior third-level knight.
And looking at the size of the head that Luo Mo brought, it was definitely not an ordinary jackal. Could it be a leader?
He stood up and said to Luomo: "Please wait a moment."
Then he took out a pile of materials from the cabinet on the wall and looked through them.
This pile of materials are all bounty notices for various jackals.
After browsing for a while, Elliot finally found a notice and compared it with the Gnoll head.
"The sizes are almost the same. There is a scar on the left eye, the big tooth on the right is missing, and there is an old injury on the nose."
Elliot compared it for a long time and finally confirmed that this was actually the blood hammer leader from the southeast of the Volo River?
He was suddenly shocked. This Bloodhammer leader had more than a hundred murder cases, including a baron and three lords.
He killed countless knights and once caused a great headache to the city hall.
Elliot remembered that Bloodhammer once robbed a batch of magical supplies from the southern lord Baron Udir.
Baron Udir's brother was a court minister in the royal city and had a rich background. Under his urging, the Knights of the City Hall once sent a team to conquer the blood hammer.
But that expedition ended in vain.
Because the knight team discovered that there were four magicians in the Blood Hammer camp and even a large number of magic fighting tools.
The knights did not want to fight these beasts, so they only assassinated two gnoll mages and handed their heads to Baron Udir.
Although that knight team also had elements of cheating and sneaking, and there were also some aristocratic children who came in through nepotism. But the fact that they were so afraid of the Jackal group that they were unwilling to take action was enough to illustrate the power of its leader.
Unexpectedly, such a troublesome jackal leader would be killed by this gentle and unknown little lord in front of him.
Elliot was immediately impressed by Lomo. He asked solemnly, "Have you wiped out the entire Jackal gang of the Blood Hammer leader?"
Lomo was frightened when he saw Elliot's serious look on his face. One jump. I thought to myself, could this blood hammer be a powerful character for them?
He didn't want to expose his strength too much, so he shook his head and said: "No, when my knight attendants and I encountered him, he was the only jackal." When
Elliot heard this, he felt a little confused. Jackals all act in groups, why would this leader act alone at this time of year?
But these are not important, the leader is killed, and the gnoll gang will soon fall apart and merge into other gangs.
After confirming that the body was correct, Elliot asked Lomo to wait, and he turned around and left the room with the body.
After a while, Elliot came back again. The head in his hand was gone, and there was a heavy small bag.
"20 gold coins, this is your reward for killing the Jackal leader Blood Hammer. Please click on some." Elliot put the bag in front of Romo and said.
Luo Mo gave a slight greeting and then took the bag, thinking in his heart that this city hall is really stingy. A gnoll leader is only worth 20 gold coins.
But it was still meat after all, so he immediately opened the bag and checked it.
While Lomo was checking, Elliot casually looked at the jackal bounty notice on the table and said bitterly: "These jackals are really hateful. When I went to Hanson Manor two months ago, I was robbed by jackals. Yes. Although I wounded one, they took away my wallet and horses."
At this point, Eliot showed gratitude on his face and said sincerely to Romo: "So, what did you do this time? It's so beautiful, you are simply doing harm to the people. The people of the Volo River Valley will thank you." When
Romo heard this, he immediately understood that the person in front of him was the sheriff responsible for the death case of Baron Hansen.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately decided to establish a relationship with the sheriff.
So he put down the money bag in his hand and pretended to be surprised: "Mr. Eric, it was just two months ago when I met this jackal. Moreover, this jackal was also injured. I understand. He was wounded by you. It turns out that we killed the jackal leader together!"
Elliot was stunned when he heard this. The jackal he met was definitely not this blood hammer. And he didn't have any strength to cut down such a jackal. Lord Saldin was obviously trying to put money on his face.
He thought for a moment and asked directly: "Lord Saldin, do you mean to share this credit with me?" "
Yes." Luo Mo smiled and nodded. He wanted to express it more implicitly, but he didn't expect the sheriff to speak so bluntly.
He took out 10 gold coins from his bag, put them in front of Elliot, and said with a smile: "This is half of your bonus." Elliot's
face suddenly showed a very happy look, he rubbed his hands and said excitedly : "Thank you so much. To be honest, money is nothing, but if you really give me half of this credit, it will be a great help to my career. How should I thank you?" Although he said
so Saying it was nothing, Elliot kept the gold coins.
"Speaking of whether to help or not, I just want to make you a friend." Luo Mo said while keeping a smile.
Elliot waved his hand and said directly: "I know you must have something I can help you with. Tell me. You don't need to beat around the bush! We are friends now!" "Okay, Mr.
Eric, you really are. It's so refreshing. Compared with you, I seem a bit pretentious." Romo was used to Elliot's way of talking and said directly: "I really have something to trouble you." "Please tell me!
"
" Actually, I am an alchemist. I have some goods to sell, and I also want to buy some magic materials."
As he said that, Luomo brought another bag of things to the table. He opened the bag and found everything inside. It's a rejuvenation potion.
"I want to apply for a magic products trade license." Luo Mo said solemnly.
This is the most important purpose of his trip.
Elliot originally looked at Romo with a confident face, but upon hearing these words, a troubled look appeared on his face.
"I'm really not very good at helping you with this." Elliot said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but that I can't help you. The issuance of licenses is controlled by our mayor and financial officer. Generally, everything is issued. "Give."
After a moment of silence, Elliot said, "Generally, they are given to those powerful lords and nobles with backgrounds."
Lomo had been mentally prepared for this, and he asked, "Isn't there any way? Elliot
shook his head, with a helpless expression on his face, and said: "At least I can't do anything. I'm sorry, I can't help you this time." "Okay."
Luo Mo felt disappointed, but He didn't show his disappointment on his face.
He took out another piece of parchment from his arms and said, "I have one more thing to trouble you with." "
Please tell me, as long as it is within my ability."
"The thing is like this, at the end of last year, Baron Hansen said Come to our manor to borrow something. At that time, I lent him 8 tons of wheat, 10 tons of potatoes, 2 tons of ironware, and 50 gold coins. This is the IOU." Romo pushed the parchment in front of Elliot and continued: "The
result After borrowing it, something suddenly happened to Hansen and his sons. Now the Hansen Manor is in a mess, and there is no one responsible. I am wondering if I can use the houses and land in the Hansen Manor to offset the debt. ."
As soon as Elliot heard that it was about Baron Hansen, he frowned slightly.
He had been to Hanson Manor three times and learned that the baron killed serfs at will, bullied and occupied the farmer's daughter for a long time, and murdered many knights. His sons are no good either. The whole family is a beast among beasts.
As a peace officer, Eliot was most disgusted with such lords. He just casually glanced at the IOU and said immediately: "Since we have the certificate, of course we can use the land to pay off the debt. But a copy of the IOU must be kept at the city hall." "Of course you can." Luo Mo nodded
.
The matter at Hansen Manor was settled so easily, and Luo Mo was secretly happy.
However, the matter of the magic products trade has not been resolved, which makes Luo Mo a little depressed. Is he really going to go hunting in the depths of the jungle and work as a wage earner for the Navit House in Black Rock City?
