I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 501 On the Road (3)

But just when Alma was stunned, Edward patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay.

Now that things are lost, we can't put the responsibility on you.

Forget it this time, Ellie and I must now track down the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone. If that thing falls into the hands of some people, there will really be big trouble in the mainland.

It's you, what are you going to do?" "Me?" Alma glanced at Edward with a confused look, and then smiled bitterly.

At this moment, she felt that although the world was big, there was no place for her, "Where else can I go? My father is dead, and the last person in the world who is worthy of my trust is also dead.

Where else should I go?" "Elma, well, I think, can you consider traveling with us?" At this time, Ellie hesitated for a moment, and then spoke her mind, "We are going now

To trace the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone, but neither Edward nor I

He is the kind of person who is good at asking for information." Ellie is not very good at this kind of words, so even a fool can understand the meaning of Ellie's words. She needs someone to help them find out information and run errands.

, and this person is himself who caused such a series of disasters.

But just when Alma was still hesitating, Edward's words made her determined to leave this city with them, which had left her with no worries.

"If you don't want to, we won't force you.

But you'd better leave this city.

That man is very strong, and all his attacks will kill him in one hit.

If his purpose is to silence you, you will definitely be his next target." Edward paused and continued, "And one more thing, the person holding the gem now must be related to the person who killed everyone here.

.

Aren’t you going to avenge your companions?” Yes, revenge.

Perhaps hatred is the best reason to support oneself in continuing to live.

Without thinking about excuses, Alma nodded to Edward very solemnly.

The three of them left Kent City the next day. As for the raids on the Kent City Rangers Guild, that was not what the three of them were concerned about.

In front of Edward's golden mercenary badge and the magic badge engraved with seven six-pointed stars on Ellie's chest, the governor of Kent City only asked a few symbolic questions before sending them out of the city with a smile on his face.

.

Although they had no direction, under Alma's suggestion, the group set their destination at Luo Yan, another major hub city in the south, just because that was where the Wanderer Guild had the largest scale and largest number of people in the southern continent.

a city.

"Okay, the Luoyan Rogue Guild is just ahead." Alma said, turning around and facing Edward and Ellie behind her, "I'm going to help you explore the situation now.

Sister Ellie, why not take a stroll around here first.

Luo Yan's crystal products are the best in the mainland." After hearing this, Ellie was so happy that she dragged Edward to satisfy her collection desire, but Edward naturally could only smile bitterly and was dragged away by Ellie.

In fact, along the way, Alma quickly figured out Ellie's preferences.

Moreover, along the way, Alma used Ellie to use various methods to punish Edward, which made him very embarrassed.

But the relationship between Ellie and Alma is really as good as biological sisters. Relying on Ellie's support has made Edward miserable all the way.

After seeing the two people leaving, Alma immediately put on a harmless smile.

This is her signature expression for inquiring about information. At least more than half of the men, after facing Alma's expression, would pour out their own family trees in less than ten seconds.

After wandering around the streets seemingly aimlessly for a while, Alma didn't find anything that interested her.

However, this was indeed not her purpose. After wandering around for a while, she quickly turned into a bar that was not obvious.

Because there was a mark engraved on the door of that bar that she was very familiar with, the emblem of the Wanderers' Guild.

After casually ordering a drink at the bar, Alma walked around among other people as if nothing had happened.

She knew that this kind of place was the easiest place to get information, and it was the hardest to control a person's mouth when he was drunk.

But just when she sat down at the bar again, several men who looked like loafers opened the door and walked in.

The two of them, one fat and one thin, looked like they had traveled a long way.

After sitting down, one of the relatively thin men asked the bartender for two glasses of wine, and then started chatting with his companion next to him.

Alma had to calm down out of habit. As an elf, she was born with extremely sensitive hearing, and she was once one of the best scouts in the elf army, so eavesdropping on other people's conversations was something she could easily do.

But before Alma could hear a few words, her entire face turned as pale as a zombie.

"...That thing is really evil.

The entire union, which numbered more than thirty people, was all taken over by one person.

Then the strength of the rogues' union in Kent is a bit inferior." It was the fat man who spoke.

"Well, you can't say that.

Isn't there a saying that it's hard to guard against a domestic thief? I heard that the person who took down that union was the adopted daughter of their leader.

I heard that he took her in after seeing her alone more than ten years ago. I didn't expect that woman to actually murder her for a treasure.

Alas, I’m so pitiful about that Fernandez, who lived for most of his life and died in the hands of his own daughter.” Having said this, the thin man still seemed very melancholy.

"Treasure? What are you talking about?" The fat man didn't seem to listen to anything else and was just focusing on what the thin man mentioned.

"Well, I can tell you this.

But you kid, please don't talk nonsense.

Maybe..." As he spoke, the thin man made a motion of wiping his neck.

The fat man glanced at the thin man in surprise, then swallowed his saliva and replied in a low voice: "Brother, just say it.

From now on, even if someone puts a knife to my neck, I won't show a word of it." The thin man was so alert that he looked around for a while to make sure no one was paying attention to them, then he put his mouth to the fat man's ear and whispered.

"I heard that the thing that was stolen was the Philosopher's Gem." "What did you say, it was..." After hearing this, the fat man seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he jumped up and shouted loudly.

But as soon as he said these words, he was immediately covered up by the thin man.

"Brother, are you, what are you saying true or false?" After realizing that he had lost his composure, the fat man immediately leaned down and confirmed in a low voice.

"I also heard what others said.

But the Southern Wanderers Guild has put a bounty of 100 platinum coins on the blacklist, so I guess that's enough..." The thin man seemed to say something else, but at this moment, Alma had no intention of listening anymore.

Went down.

She could accept all the fabricated things mentioned above, but she didn't die and even left Kent.

But judging from the situation, if she didn't leave, she might have been silenced.

What really concerned her was that she was on the blacklist of the Rogue Guild.

That blacklist is actually a bounty order.

But unlike ordinary bounty orders, there is everything on it.

No matter what the other party is doing, whether they are white or black, as long as someone is willing to pay, they can buy the other party's head.

Although no one may dare to take those jobs, there are indeed many people who died because of being on that list.

And because that list has very special black and white characters, most people call this bounty order a blacklist.

Alma composed herself, then walked to the corner of the bar pretending to be calm, and then made a gesture to the bartender under the dim light that only a wanderer could understand.

Then the bartender quickly pulled out a piece of black paper from under the bar and handed it over quickly.

Due to the backlight, he did not notice Alma's appearance.

Alma walked out of the bar almost as fast as she could run, and then she turned into a deserted alley after twisting and turning on the street.

Almost tremblingly, he unfolded the piece of paper in his hand. It didn't matter whether the top five were still the five people who were simply impossible to kill.

In the sixth position, Alma's name is clearly written, and her profile picture is also attached.

"Conspiracy, everything is a conspiracy." Alma tore the blacklist into pieces with trembling hands, and then ran towards the place where she had just agreed to meet with Edward and Ellie.

She knows better than anyone the consequences of being on this list. If she doesn't have a lot of snobbish support behind her or is as powerful as Edward, her name will never stay on the list for more than 1

months.

The only thing she hopes now is to quickly return to Edward and Ellie. Only they have enough strength to protect herself.

Alma knew that her death was not a pity, but she could not bear the ungrateful remarks of others. She must get justice for Fernandez and other companions.

In order to hide from others, Alma did not dare to return to the streets with more people, so she could only choose a more secluded path.

But even so, not long after she walked out, she still found that there seemed to be many pairs of eyes around her staring at her.

At this moment, she pretended to accidentally throw the thing on her hand to the ground, and then peeked behind her while she was leaning over to pick it up.

Sure enough, just as she felt, there were two men not far behind her, hiding not far away and secretly staring at her.

Alma tried her best to calm down, then straightened up again and continued walking forward.

She knew that if she ran now, she would definitely disturb the other party first. God knows how many people were targeting her. She had to get rid of those tails before she could have any hope.

While thinking about the next step, Alma has already accelerated her pace in a situation that is difficult for ordinary people to notice, hoping to get rid of those tails.

After walking for more than ten minutes, she found that not only were the people staring at her not getting rid of them, but they seemed to be getting more and more numerous.

And what's worse is that not only his own skills, but also their people seem to be around him.

"Surrounded!" Alma frowned. She knew that bounty hunters were different from mercenaries. As long as they had money, they would do anything. Moreover, their principle was to kill the prey first and then discuss dividing the spoils.

Based on this alone, you must not let yourself fall into the hands of those people.

Alma, still pretending not to know, immediately ran away after turning the corner in front of her.

The bounty hunters who were originally just following and waiting for the opportunity to strike were stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that their actions had been discovered long ago.

But since this was the case, those people naturally stopped covering up anything and immediately chased after him quickly.

In their eyes, a small character like Alma is no different from a dead person.

Although Alma had the upper hand, she still couldn't get rid of the bounty hunter behind her.

After running wildly for more than ten minutes, she gradually felt that her breathing was no longer as smooth as before, and her legs were getting heavier and heavier, as if she would be unable to support herself at any time.

There are ten people chasing her. With her strength, it is absolutely impossible to face them head-on, but even escaping now is very difficult.

"Damn it, are you really going to die here!" At this time, Alma's physical strength was finally almost exhausted, and she could only watch the bounty hunters behind her approaching her little by little.

And just when Alma was helpless, suddenly a big hand stretched out from the corner of the street, grabbed her arm, and pulled her aside.

Unable to tolerate Alma's screams, he said in a tone that absolutely could not refuse: "Don't make a sound, follow me!" In front of him was a thin-looking man. The black hat must have made it difficult for Alma to see.

You can't even tell his face, let alone tell whether he is friend or foe.

But there seemed to be no other choice at the moment. Alma gritted her teeth and nodded towards the man.

I had to admit that the man was very familiar with this city. After a while, they walked through the neighborhood and reached a woodland in the west of the city.

However, the bounty hunters behind them were still unyielding and would not let go of them.

However, because I was not familiar with the road, I still kept some distance from them even though I was passively chasing them.

The man glanced in the direction of the bounty hunters, then pulled Alma and hid in the woods.

This move made Alma feel very strange, because the forest was not large enough to escape those tough bounty hunters.

But the man's actions immediately answered the questions in her mind.

He took out a scroll from his pocket and tore it open. Soon a faint smoke surrounded the nearby forest.

When the bounty hunters came here, they all showed surprised expressions at first, then said a few words to each other, and finally left in frustration.

Seeing that the light mist around her could have such a concealing effect, Alma never expected it.

"It looks like they've all left, thank you very much.

Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do.

The shielding effect of your magic is good, what kind of scroll is it?" Although she didn't know the man in front of her, Alma's tone was still relatively calm, after all, the man had just saved her.

"There's nothing to thank you for.
