Half-elf Notebook

Chapter 205 Bounty Target

"Can I first get some information about the person being pursued, and then give an answer?" Ina said calmly:

"I'm not referring to the intelligence you collected, but only the part that is publicly known."

There are many kinds of murderers, including fugitive criminals who kill by accident or in revenge.

But some may be murderers who truly enjoy killing, or even worse, they may be killers with special group backgrounds.

Punishing evil is a good thing, and getting a reward at the same time is even better.

But you have to do everything within your ability.

Ina was not going to risk her life for the bounty.

Ward nodded, took out a slightly yellowed piece of paper he carried with him, and handed it over.

Ina unfolded it, her eyes quickly swept over the words on it, and she quickly went over the contents in her mind.

Blonde hair, black eyes, hooked nose... His name is Bot Albido, a high-ranking magician who once served as a private magic teacher for the daughter of a knight noble...

Crime: suspected of kidnapping and causing the deaths of at least 25 citizens of the kingdom. Evidence suggests that this is a one-man show, extremely dangerous, and citizens who are aware of his whereabouts should report him to the nearest soldier or sheriff as soon as possible!

A top-ranked official magician? He doesn't look that dangerous...but the bounty is surprisingly high...It can even be said that it is so high that even a silver-rank bounty hunter would be willing to run around for him...

Is it because of the number of victims?

However, it must be said that he is really good at hiding himself. With this amount of money, a lot of bronze-level adventurer teams and bounty hunters would have already made him their number one target.

While thinking, Ina added sugar to her coffee spoonful by spoonful.

In just half an hour, she had already shaken seven or eight spoonfuls in, which made Ward's eyes twitch.

People with high incomes are usually willing to spend money on some details of life. The same is true for adventurers like Ward who put their heads on their belts, or even more so.

The coffee beans he grinds and brews by hand are all from highland countries further south, which are taken over by large chambers of commerce. They are strictly transported and preserved, and are high-priced luxury consumer products.

"It's still a little bitter and sour..."

Ina took a sip and commented in her mind.

She is obviously not a coffee connoisseur.

She still prefers the sweet taste to the unique bitterness.

“I still hope to be able to participate.”

She returned the paper with the portrait and information of the wanted person to Ward.

At the same time, he gave his own answer.

"Can I share your information now? Or do I need to swear an oath or pay something as a guarantee?"

"Normally, we would collect ten gold coins as a deposit, but I can vouch for Miss Ina. After all, you took care of my business last time."

Ward waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Aren't you worried that I will resell this hard-earned information to other bounty hunters?"

"How to convert the intelligence you get into the biggest and safest benefits is also an important part that a successful adventurer needs to learn."

"Ms. Ina, if you can find a team of adventurers or partners who are more confident and can earn more than us, then we will have nothing to say."

Ward explained to Ina with a smile.

The two members did not seem to have any prejudice against Yi-na on this issue.

After the brown-haired half-elf finished speaking, the brown-haired young man named Bello Harvey took over the conversation:

"According to the intelligence we obtained from Captain Connor, Mr. Ward, and other sources, it can be roughly divided into three points."

"First, his rank is not that of a high-level magician, but at least a mid-level high-level magician or above."

"Isn't he the same high-ranking magician as the one listed in the bounty information?"

Ina raised her eyebrows. The danger levels of a mid-level high-level magician and a high-level magician are completely different.

"Most of the information in the reward notices has huge limitations, such as being outdated. These rewards are reprinted every year, but they will not be revised unless someone provides reliable and concrete information."

"Criminals don't pay taxes to citizens every year and go to the government service center to update their information... Just like the rank information of this bounty, it is exactly the same as when it was posted five years ago."

Ward spread his hands:

"I'm not hiding it on purpose. This is indeed one of the intelligence we collected with great effort."

"Second, he is not a normal magician. He may possess some extraordinary abilities beyond imagination. This is the conclusion reached by Captain Connor and Mr. Ward after discussion."

"A lot of the intelligence I've obtained and heard vaguely points to him having performed some kind of ritual to summon demons, or... it would be more appropriate to describe it as a blood sacrifice."

Bello continued to explain the information the adventure team had learned.
