There are two types of "Wanted Orders".
One is the official wanted warrant of the empire. People who are on this kind of wanted warrant are usually really heinous criminals who have violated the laws of the empire.
Of course, in a place like the Phantom Thieves, this kind of official wanted notice is more like a "medal of honor". The higher the bounty, the more worthy of bragging.
The other kind is the wanted order on the black market, which is a bit like a vendetta. Regardless of whether you are guilty or not, as soon as a reward is posted on the black market, someone will come to trouble you for money.
In general, if you get an official bounty, you can still fall into the trap of being a bandit and get into trouble; if you get on this kind of black market list, there will be real troubles.
... .
"What's going on?"
Renn looked at the black market wanted poster in his hand and was stunned for a moment.
Although it is hand-drawn, it is almost the same as the photo.
Oh, such a handsome face, that evil yet sharp eyes, that unique temperament... who else could it be besides himself
"Am I wanted?"
Renn finally understood why the two guys looked like they knew him just now.
It turned out that it was true that they were looking for wanted criminals.
And coincidentally, the wanted criminal is actually Lei himself!
But at the same time, he was confused, how could he become a wanted criminal
This is not an official wanted order with a red stamp, but the most troublesome "black market wanted order"
... ..
Ymir on the side saw Ren's shocked expression, and even though he didn't see the image on the wanted poster, he guessed what was going on.
But she still had no intention of inquiring into other people's privacy. Instead, she put on her coat and started meditating with her eyes closed.
The boss didn't ask, and Renn wouldn't say much to explain.
He held this wanted notice and his face became uncertain.
He had just escaped from the "Weasel Phantom Thieves". Not to mention making enemies, he didn't know many people. How could he be offered a reward
After thinking about it carefully, it is not difficult for Ren to guess the reason.
"It looks like... Pixis most likely revealed to others that I was carrying the 'Relic of Baron Morin'. Those guys didn't find me, so they planned to use the wanted method to find the needle in the haystack."
He thought to himself that this was the only reasonable explanation, "But it's also possible that the person behind the hiring of Quinn was suspicious of him..."
In any case, Renne determined that the purpose of wanting his guy was for the "relics of Baron Morin."
Thinking of this, his face became a little ugly.
Originally, he thought that the "Weasel Phantom Thieves" would probably be wiped out in the battle at Storm Lake. In a large-scale war like that, a lot of people would be left dead.
I originally wanted to hide it from the public and make the identity of the new assassin "9527" completely disappear, but I didn't expect that those guys didn't intend to give up.
"One hundred million liso? Haha...those guys are really willing to spend their money."
Renn was a little helpless.
This bounty is sky-high. Only top-level monster thieves like [White Wolf] Bazel are officially offered a bounty of 180 million. He, a little-known little shrimp, is definitely considered a "huge bounty"!
This is indeed a huge bounty that is enough to drive those bounty hunters and gangsters who work on the black market crazy. If he hadn't had a small amount of assets now, he would have been completely destitute, and he might have thought of selling himself for a reward.
But thinking about it this way, Ren suddenly felt that this reward might have the most to do with the murderous force behind Quinn.
After all, Pisis was not sure what "Molin's Relic" meant. Even if the news was revealed, no one might be willing to pay such a high price to reward him.
... .
"How do those guys know that I'm not dead?"
When Ren thought of this, he suddenly felt that it was pointless to dwell on this issue.
Dead or not, put a huge bounty on them and catch them if there are any, but there is no loss anyway.
What's more, in this extraordinary world, there are also mysterious supernatural beings with some strange abilities, such as [diviners] and [prophet].
As long as there are biological clues such as hair and blood, it is not difficult to confirm whether you are dead or not.
He lived in the "Weasel Phantom Thieves" for a year, and he definitely left a lot of traces.
Now that this wanted order is issued, it means that the other party may have used some means to confirm that "Baron Morin's relics" are on his person
Suddenly, Renn thought of a more serious problem.
"Eh... Now there are people on this train carrying my profile picture everywhere looking for me. Then aren't all the major cities posted at their gates?"
Renn suddenly felt that his planned future was suddenly disrupted by this wanted notice.
The "Black Market Wanted" does not only involve gangsters. This huge bounty is enough to make any city guard, peace officer, etc. greedy.
All major human cities must check your identity before entering the city. It is impossible to enter wearing a gas mask.
In the past, he could be said to be a war refugee, but now he is wanted, and the lie is exposed.
If he can't even enter the city, all his plans will be ruined!
Is it possible to live in exile in the wilderness for the rest of your life
No, the path of "taking advantage of the grass and turning it into a bandit" is also blocked.
Now that the black market wanted order is out, he is no longer even qualified to join the Phantom Thieves. With such a high bounty, any Phantom Thieves would choose to kidnap him in exchange for money. This is much easier than robbery!
At this moment, it seemed that all roads were blocked, and Ren's face became increasingly ugly.
... ..
Ren didn't know enough about this world, so he thought about it for a long time. His brows furrowed more and more, but he really couldn't think of any way to break the situation.
Turning around, he saw Boss Ymir who was meditating with his eyes closed.
Maybe, I can only ask her for help.
"that... "
Regardless of anything else, Ren asked tentatively: "Miss Ymir, if you are wanted, will you not be able to enter the major cities?"
With this opening, he had no intention of concealing the fact that he was wanted with a reward on his head.
With a bounty of 100 million liso put on his head, any normal person would have guessed that he might have a big secret.
Ymir raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said: "You must take off your gas mask to check your identity at the city gate. Even if you sneak into the city through some black market passages, the black market reward order in your hand will probably People sold you immediately..."
As Ren expected, this smart woman guessed that the person on the wanted notice was him, Lei.
However, with her cold temperament, she did not take the initiative to ask why.
Hearing this, Ren asked with a dark face: "Then... is there no other way? Is there no city without identity checks?"
Ymir: "Yes! There are some extremely remote mining areas and refugee cities... But such places are very dangerous and precarious, but you may never come back after you go there for the rest of your life."
"..."
Ren also understood that the so-called "extremely remote areas" were a bit like the black coal mines in the mountains in his previous life.
Murderers and the like run away to dig coal to eke out a living, living in ugliness for the rest of their lives, never to see the light of day again.
Is it possible that I have traveled through time and spent my whole life like this
No, there is actually a last way.
That is to confess his secret in exchange for Ymir, the big boss, to protect him.
Based on his current guess, the identity of the woman in front of him is definitely not simple. With her protection, he may be able to completely solve his troubles.
But as a result, many questions arise one after another. 80% of the "intelligent brain" cannot be hidden. Will it be sliced up and studied
After all, the two of them are not that familiar.
Renn didn't intend to reveal his secret to anyone.
... ..
Just when Ren's tangled face was almost distorted, he suddenly heard Ymir speak again.
"But... there is one exception."
"What exception?!"
When Ren heard this, the dim light in his eyes immediately brightened up!
Ymir: "The [City of Glory] in the Chaos Triangle, where there is no need to check your identity when entering the city."
"City of Glory?"
This is a very unfamiliar place name. There is no big city with this name in Ren's memory, so he asked: "Is it also a remote small town?"
A strange color flashed in Ymir's eyes. He shook his head slightly and said, "No! On the contrary, it is a majestic city that is not inferior in size to the capitals of the two empires."
Ren was surprised, "Huh? Then... why have I never heard of it?"
Logically speaking, it is impossible that such a masterpiece has never been heard of before.
Ymir frowned slightly and said: "The explanation is very complicated. Some reasons are that it is too remote, so it is normal for people in the country not to have heard of it; some are also because the two empires deliberately blocked the news and were unwilling to let the people go there... . ”
After a pause, she said: "If you go, you will understand in the future that it may be the most suitable place for you."
"Most suitable?"
Renn didn't forget why he was going to the city, so he asked: "Is there any senior doctor in the 'Glory City'?"
"have!"
Ymir seemed to have no intention of hiding it, and there was even a hint of longing in her beautiful eyes: "Not only does it have a complete medical system that is not inferior to that of Omar Royal Medical College, it is also a holy land for magicians, the Second Potion Master's Guild, and research on ancient civilizations. Center, a paradise for free hunters..."
Ren was even more surprised, sounding more and more mysterious: "Huh? So powerful... Does this city not belong to the Omar Empire, but to the enemy country Sid?"
"It does not belong to any empire and is an absolutely neutral place!"
Ymir shook his head: "The founder of this city is the legendary figure recognized as the first of the 'Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters', [Great Polymath] Cavo Ramirez. That city also has a name. ... called the 'City of Freedom'!"
"this... "
This surprised Renn. Why does such a city have such a low reputation
It stands to reason that no matter how remote it is, everyone should have heard of the name, right
The city built by the top figure in the "Top Ten Legendary Hunters" is an absolutely neutral place.
It stands to reason that no matter how remote it is, everyone should have heard of the name, right
Ymir seemed to see through his doubts and said: "Don't make random guesses... The empire's laws do not allow the dissemination of any information about the 'Glory City', and smuggling there may lead to being sent to the gallows. So, you know There are not many talents..."
After a pause, she glanced at Ren and said jokingly: "Of course, you shouldn't care about breaking the law now."
"oh... "
Renn also understood that there was no need for the boss to lie to him, so he asked: "Then how do I get there?"
Moreover, this "Glory City" seems to be his only choice now.
