Chapter 20

There are three days in the Harvest Festival, and Ende's assessment results will come down the next day after completing the plant knowledge assessment.

Although the knowledge of plants is not qualified, fortunately, the shooting skills assessment results are amazing, so Ande obtained the qualification of patrol hunter without any danger.

He had a night of having sex with his peers who passed the assessment. On the next day, Ande got up early to visit him, mainly to let the elders who helped him know that he could finally be considered an adult.

There is a custom in the Kingdom of Gilt that girls can consider marriage if they are fourteen years old; while men are a little bit miserable, and they are usually considered adults until they are eighteen years old.

This is because once a man declares adulthood, he must have the ability to be self-reliant. If he cannot do this, he will be looked down upon - he can't even support himself, and he is embarrassed to say that he is an adult?

Young people like Ender who are not as old as eighteen but already have a decent career can declare themselves adults in advance - and such children who are adults early are usually regarded as promising and capable, and are the envy of their peers, and are also the so-called "other people's children."

Ender's social relationship is quite simple and does not require many visitors.

In addition to celebrating with his peers, the three elders, Telligan, Corey and Lerera, need to visit them officially.

As for the Reultes, on the night when they were qualified for hunters, Ender met as an adult and received a big red envelope, which was a gift from the Reultes to celebrate his adulthood - thirty gold coins.

After Ender visited these close elders and thanked him, it was his turn to pay homage to the mayor, Mr. Danny, and the priest of the God of Battle.

The former is because Ende needs to register at the town office; the latter is because he has to go to the temple to donate some property.

The God of Fighting is the main belief of Leicester. Ender also followed the crowd and became a shallow believer who could not be more shallow. However, although he was a shallow believer, since he had passed the threshold of adulthood, it was still necessary to pay a certain amount of money to God. This is a local custom, and Ender did not want to be innovative in this regard.

I have been busy all day, and after the Harvest Festival, it will be the day when Ande reports to the tourer Bo Qisi to join the job.

The tourer Bo Qisi does not live in the town of Leicester on weekdays, he lives in the forest fifteen miles away from the town of Leice.

It is said to be a forest, and it is divided into several levels.

On the edge of the territory, places with sparse trees and relatively safe trees are called forests; when you go in, some places where trees are lush and beasts appear at times are called forests; as for the real forest, where trees cover the sky and the sun are blocked, there are no sunshine during the day, and there are all kinds of terrible poisonous insects that you can't imagine, and the monsters appear from time to time - even the forest patrolman Bo Qisi will not rashly enter such a dangerous situation.

After crossing a stream more than one meter wide, along the forest path that was only two feet wide, Ander followed the hunter Vito and came to the Hunter's Hunter's Lodge, the residence of the tourer Boqisi.

The exterior walls of Bai Qisi's Hunter's hut are made of solid logs. The thick woods are not even removed from the bark, and they are just built together to form the walls of the house. This pure natural color is very consistent with the environment of the entire forest.

Ender followed the hunter Vito into the wooden house.

There is a fireplace in the room with very little furniture. Apart from a few wooden barrels, there is a long table and a large bed, and there is not even a seat.

"End, can you look at the map?" Bai Qisi asked, standing at the long table.

"See a little bit, Lord Bai Qisi." Ander replied.

Originally, Ander wanted to say that he could look at the map, but God knew what the map of this world was abstracted. A curve represents a river, and two triangles represent a mountain. As for the scale, there was no such thing at all. The distance was entirely estimation.

Ender was able to guess what these patterns mean, but he was thankful to his familiarity with the territory and terrain.

"Very good, since you can understand it, I don't need to say more. Xavier is old and you have to take over his area and be responsible for the security of the territory there." Bai Qisi clicked on the spread-out animal skin map, referring to a wooden house marking between two hills.

"This location is Xavier's Hunter's Hunter's Cabin. Let Vito take you to hand over later. You will be stationed there from now on. You cannot leave at will without special circumstances."

"I understand, Lord Bai Qisi." Ender nodded. Hunter is a profession with a high income but also very lonely. Generally, it can only be returned home once a month.

"Don't call me lord. We hunters are not as hierarchical as in the army. We are just working together." Bai Qisi waved his hand, looked at Ender, and pulled the corners of his mouth slightly (this is probably his smile): "Cori and I are about the same age. You can call me Uncle Bai Qisi in the future."

"—Okay, Uncle Bai Qisi." Andy was like a good person, and it was always good to have a good relationship with his immediate boss.

Hearing that Ande changed his words and called himself uncle, Bai Qisi stood up from the table and patted Ande on the shoulder, further introduced:

"The patrol hunter is divided into two types: the patrol hunter and the guard hunter. The guard hunter's duty is to station the edge of the territory and prevent goblins and beasts from entering the territory."

"The vanguard hunter is responsible for circling and supporting support, solving some problems that guard hunters cannot solve. If necessary, the vanguard hunter has to follow me into the forest to eradicate some dangerous sources. Ender, your shooting skills are rare. Hurry up some experience, and you will be a vanguard in the future."

Bai Qisi looked at Ende with expectation. The vanguard hunter needs stronger combat power, and of course his status is much higher than that of the guard hunter. The guard hunter's salary is two gold coins a month, while the vanguard hunter must have more than five gold coins - this is almost as much as the income of the squadron leader in the town guard.

As for forest rangers like Bai Qisi, the requirements are higher. The position of forest ranger itself is the origin of forest rangers. Those who can hold this position are at least professionals above level 6, and they also need to be good at operating in the forest types.

Ender nodded and agreed. Being able to accumulate some combat experience in the position of Hunter is very important for Ender's future plans.

The hunter Vito, who was on the side, opened his mouth wide in surprise. He had never seen Bai Qisi be so kind to others.

In fact, this forest ranger stays in the forest all year round, cherishes his words when talking to others, and may not say so much in a month, even when meeting the baron, he looks cold.

Being able to say so much to Ender shows how deep he has to expect from this young man.

————————————

Leicester Town civilian area, temporary residence of Shadow Branch.

"Sir, we have been arrested so many of our people this time. It's a kid named Ender." Tabo, who was in charge of investigating the surviving pickpocket, reported his investigation results to Defu Priligy.

"End, this name is a bit familiar." Defu seemed to have heard of this name somewhere.

"Ander is the nephew of the town guard deputy captain Telligan, who is not related to blood. We have seen him at the Reult Hotel." Tabo reminded.

"Oh, it's him, a very flexible young man." Defoe Priligy remembered.

He once took several subordinates to observe several places suitable for setting up shadow union strongholds, and the Reult Hotel was the key point.

At that time, Ander held eight glasses of ale on a wooden plate and walked flexibly among the crowded crowd. The ale did not spill, leaving a deep impression on him. He just didn't match the name Ander with someone.

"How did you find it out?" Defu Priligy was very satisfied with his work efficiency, but he still wanted to confirm it.

It would be fine if Ender was an ordinary civilian, but his uncle Tligan, as the head of public security in Leicester town, was not easy to mess with.

"It was confessed by a local pickpocket, Damon, I'll bring him in." Tabo turned around and went out and called Damon in.

Damon walked in.

There was only one candlelight in the dim room. A man stood behind the long table with his back facing the door. His shadow was projected onto the wall by the candlelight, and it floated unsteadily with the leaping of the candlelight.

Mr. Tabo, who brought him here, bent over slightly and stood respectfully at the table, looking like he didn't even dare to breathe.

"Sir, it is the news he provided." In front of Damon, Tabo no longer called Defu the president, but was generally called the Lord.

"Damon?" Defu's voice suddenly became dull and illusory.

This is a special vocal technique circulating in the Shadow Union. It makes it difficult to distinguish the direction of the sound, makes people feel mysterious and can also cause some mental stress.

"Yes, sir." Damon was trembling. He was a small street pickpocket, but he had never seen such a scene.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you tell the truth, no one will hurt you. How do you be sure it is Ender?" Although his voice was illusory, his tone was quite kind, which relieved Damon's nervousness a little.

"Big, sir, I saw Ander pointing to Vinson with his fingers, and the people from the town guard rushed up and captured him; later, I saw Ander pointing to Tsipton, and the people from the town guard took him away; finally, Ander wanted to point me, but he knew me, so he didn't reach out to prove me, so I was not caught."

Vinson and Zipton were both pickpockets brought by Defort Priligy from Grae City. They wanted to make a deal during the Harvest Festival, but they were both arrested and jailed.

This also explains why veterans like Vinson and Zipton will be caught, while several new local recruits, like Damon, survive without formal training and low skills.

Defu nodded and waved his hand to signal Tabo to take Damon out.

After they went out, Defu asked again: "What's the news over you?"

In the empty room, an answer came: "I interrogated several gangsters present at that time, and the news I got was similar to what he said. It seemed that the culprit was that Ender.

Defu frowned: "You didn't kill anyone, did you?"

"Don't worry, it's just a few little gangsters, it's enough to use some tricks." The answer came from the room, but there was still no one to see.

"Well, then let you handle this matter?" Defu turned around, sat on the chair and asked.

"No problem, but how much do you have to do?" asked the invisible person.

"If you are willing to join us and help us take down Reult Hotel, let him go; if you don't agree, then you can do it, but don't do it in the town, wait for him to leave the town before talking - and be careful, this person performed very well in the shooting assessment."

Defoe Priligy said casually.

Although he said he wanted the other party to be careful, his tone of speaking was more like a routine.

In addition to pickpockets and scammers, the Shadow Union also runs assassination business.

These assassinations are sometimes held on union tasks and are completed by various professional or non-professional assassins.

The assassination of the Shadow Union is a broad statement. Even if it uses official power to arrest and kill the target, the Shadow Union will pay a lot of rewards.

But now Defu has just arrived, and he has not even established a formal stronghold, nor has he enough credibility and reputation. If he wants to publish a reward, he doesn't have to think about it, so he can only use the shadow union team he brought from Grae City to perform this task.

The man who only heard the voice but did not see him was the future vice president of the Shadow Union of Leicester Town, a professional who specialized in assassination business - Shadow Assassin Sean Dott.

No matter how good the other party's shooting skills are, he will never have the chance to touch the bow and arrow in front of a shadow assassin.

Defu's only concern was Telligan, but since Ender accepted the position of patrol hunter, after killing him, he would casually disguise and cover up the wounds, and then throw the body into the woods, and there would naturally be various scavengers to deal with it.
