Chapter 257 Paradise Town

After a simple cleaning with the water in the basin, Louis did not rest immediately, but put on his jacket and slipped outside.

The residence arranged for them by the Sheriff Ellen is right next to the Sheriff's Office. It is a somewhat outdated but well-maintained two-story building.

Louis's room is located on the corner of the first floor, and outside the window is the main street. As long as he opens the window, he can see anything that happens on the main street of Paradise Town. Not far away is the "entrance" of Paradise Town. He can react as soon as possible if anyone comes here or an enemy appears.

After coming out of the residence, Louis first looked around.

The sheriff's office is the building next to it, which is also a two-story building. The first floor is the sheriff's office. Those who serve as the sheriff can rest directly on the second floor after finishing their work, which is also the sheriff's "home".

At this time, the female sheriff named Ellen did not stay in her office or her own home, but sat on a wooden chair outside the door, wearing cowboy boots and wooden railings, holding whiskey in her hand and drinking whiskey in her hand.

"If you want to pass the time in a tavern or something, the one that is diagonally opposite."

Paradise Town is not very big. Louis stands at the door and can see the end of the other end of the village at a glance. The most important shops in Paradise Town are on the main street, while the remaining residential areas occupy other areas. The layout of the entire town is long and does not extend from the second main street.

"Is it the Creation Mountain over there?" Louis did not answer the tavern. Although he came to such a place and the tavern seemed to be a place that he had to see, Louis had more things to ask the sheriff, such as the Creation Mountain.

“It’s there.”

Looking from this location to the other side of the town, you can see the outline of a mountain. The peak seems to be covered by gauze. You can only see the outline and you can't see anything clearer.

"It's a very dangerous place, and I advise you not to have any idea about that place." Ellen, with blonde curly hair, took off his cowboy hat and scratched his hair vigorously: "And I hire you to stop people from entering there, don't forget your job."

"Why stop others from entering there?"

"I don't know, I don't care." Ellen looked lazy, not sure if she was drunk or she usually looked like this: "I only know that my job is to protect this town from any threat, and those who want to enter the Creation Mountain are likely to threaten this town, so I have to deal with them."

Things are that simple. Ellen stated that she was just trying to make money and that the messy things had nothing to do with her.

Louis continued to chat with Ellen. Anyway, neither of them had anything to do, and Ellen seemed to be happy to talk to Louis.

Even though two cowboys suddenly rushed out of the tavern and were preparing for a duel with a pistol, Ellen didn't even move her butt, just lazily continued to watch the fun.

"Don't stop them?"

"They are just a group of idiots who are drunk too much, not those guys who want to enter Creation Mountain. Don't worry about them and let them decide the outcome." Ellen raised the whiskey bottle and asked Louis if he wanted to drink it?

Louis took it over. His feeling about the drinks was not changed much, but the storage space was unavailable. He couldn't take out the coke he specially stored. He stood here and chatted with a little tasteless. He really wanted to drink something with flavor.

When I took a big mouthful of whiskey, the two guys on the street had already decided.

One of the cowboys burp on the spot!

The winning cowboy was raising his hands to celebrate his victory. The audiences watching the excitement came out of the tavern and didn't care about this. At most, a few guys who made the bet and chose the wrong person were scolded, which attracted many people to laugh.

“It’s time to work.”

"What?" When Louis returned the whiskey to Ellen, he heard this sentence: "Do you say there is a job to do?"

I looked at the entrance of the town and saw no enemies appear?

Turning his head again, he saw Ellen pointing down the corpse on the street with his finger holding the bottle: "Pull the corpse outside the town and buried it... If you think it's too troublesome, you can throw it away a little further, and there will be animals willing to help you deal with it."

"..." Louis understood what Ellen meant. The emotional sheriff asked himself to come not only to help protect the villages and towns, but also to deal with these miscellaneous tasks: "Is this also the work content?"

"It's considered an extra benefit." Ellen didn't deliberately instruct Louis. The corpse of a cowboy who was killed during the duel would be disposed of so casually, and the various money and equipment on the cowboy would naturally be scattered.

In this regard, it is indeed an additional welfare income.

Louis looked down on this benefit, and shouted directly at the victorious cowboy: "Remember to deal with the corpse you made."

"What?" The cowboy, who was still celebrating the victory and preparing to go back to the tavern to continue drinking, and then used this victory to brag for a while, was stunned: "Are you talking to me?"

"That's right, it's you! You can handle the trouble you create yourself."

"It's so interesting. It seems that I can't only win one victory today..." After smiling at the people beside me, the cowboy turned around and faced Louis arrogantly: "What if I say no?"

The cowboy's right hand was ready to pull the gun above the holster with the revolver in his hand. This posture had already shown his attitude: if you can't understand the situation, you will lie on the ground with that guy.

He was not simply warning the demonstration. If this guy who didn't know where he continued to "oppose" him, he would really pull out his gun and shoot.

"You will do it well."

It's a pity that this guy insisted on going against him and the cowboy quickly pulled his gun.

The gunshots rang out, but they were not accompanied by the painful groans of Louis after he fell to the ground or was injured, but the screams from the cowboy.

The gun in his hand landed not far behind him, and was forcibly shot out of his hand by a bullet; his right hand was completely paralyzed. If he hadn't let go of his hand and had not had time to reach the trigger, he might have been injured even more seriously - this also means that the opponent pulled the gun and fired a lot faster than he did.

When the cowboy was ready to take a pose, the guy was leaning against him, and even when he issued a clear warning, the other party did not pose as a "welcome to the enemy".

Even now, the other party still maintained his previous posture, but had an extra pistol in his hand and he looked at him casually - the cowboy didn't know when the man drew the gun.

But he understood one thing, this was not a gunman he could afford, so he immediately put away his arrogant attitude, picked up his pistol without saying a word, and then obediently dragged the corpse on the ground and prepared to ride a horse to a place far enough from the town to throw it away.

Here, no law or reason is useful. Whoever draws the gun and shoots quickly enough and shoots accurately enough will speak well.

The cowboy obediently cleaned the body, and Louis inserted his pistol back into the holster. From beginning to end, he leaned against the wooden pillar next to him, as if he was just a crowd watching the fun, and he didn't do anything like pulling a gun and shooting.

"Very awesome." Ellen, who was sitting next to him, saw more clearly. Louis was very fast, pulled out his gun, pulled down his hammer, aimed and shot in one go.

Even if she just sat next to her and watched the whole process, she couldn't see the whole process clearly.

She finally felt that she had not hired the wrong person, this bounty hunter named Louis Hunter, was worthy of the revenge she gave.

Louis said nothing about Ellen's praise. After all, his physical fitness and reaction speed have exceeded the level of human beings. It is not surprising that he can achieve this level when his quality crushes the other party.

The real impact of this incident on him was that after showing his strength, Ellen trusted him a little more and said more information about Creation Mountain.

Only then did Louis realize that the legendary place called Creation Mountain hides mysterious power, which can make people gain powerful power and even immortality, so many people want to go to that mountain.

But Chuangjie Mountain cannot enter at will, and there will be an opportunity to enter the mountain every three years: when a rainbow appears on Chuangjie Mountain, the door to mysterious power will be opened!

Only during this period can you enter Chuangjie Mountain and gain the legendary mysterious power. There is only a small town near Chuangjie Mountain. Anyone who wants to enter Chuangjie Mountain must pass through Chuangjie Town.

If you don’t enter Paradise Town for the final supply, you may have been starved to death and thirsty before you even reached Chuangjie Mountain.

"But there is a saying that Heaven Town keeps the 'key to the gate'. If the key is not available, it will still be unable to enter the Creation Mountain." Ellen gave another additional information, as if this is the real reason why Heaven Town is facing huge trouble.

After all, you can bring more supplies, but if Paradise Town really has a key, it will definitely not be able to escape a disaster.

With enough information, Allen, who drank a whole bottle of whiskey, had gone back to rest. Louis turned back to his residence and discussed the information he had obtained with his friends.

"It sounds a bit like the plot of an old western film."

After listening to Louis's inquiry, Kassel gave his own evaluation: a group of outsiders, after they got together by chance, learned that a small town was about to suffer disaster, so the group formed a group to protect the town.

"What we have to face is probably not just robbers."

Louis did not ignore the information that Allen mentioned casually: the people who are aiming at Creation Mountain... and other things.
