Wang Erde was on the Truth Society's list with a "bounty on him." This was something everyone knew.
But it had been two years, and no one had taken up the bounty.
First of all, it was the responsibility of the knights of the Miyirt Tower to get rid of the evil. Not many people had a sense of justice to show.
Secondly, Wang Erde was indeed cruel as a black wizard, but he was still an Annihilation Grade.
A disabled Annihilation Grade was still an Annihilation Grade.
Even if he was an Annihilation Grade that was half-dead, as long as he could still use aether and talk, he could kill a Panic Grade.
Without the power of an Annihilation Grade, no one dared to take up the bounty.
And an Annihilation Grade, who was short of money?
They were all big shots. If they wanted to kill someone, did they have to do it themselves?
And if they failed, it would damage their reputation. The loss would outweigh the gain. Why would they do that?
Besides, didn't you see that even his biggest enemy, the Yue Sefu, didn't take up the bounty? The first website was m.9biquge. com
Why would ordinary people join in the fun?
Plus, Wang Erde was still missing. There was no accurate information to prove whether he was alive or dead.
There was some news a while ago that he was in Nuo Jin, but there was no follow-up.
Taking up the bounty meant that they had to spend a lot of effort to find the missing Wang Erde.
It was not easy.
With such a set of logic, it was normal for Wang Erde's bounty to take two years for someone to take it up.
Walter Leonard, the director of the Truth Society's Alchemy Department, raised his head in dissatisfaction and retorted, "If this is a messy project, then your Mechanics is useless. You're either researching 'how to achieve automatic handstand shampoo' or 'multifunctional choker boxing gloves' all day long. In my opinion, the president shouldn't have given you any funding."
Then he said with a strange expression, "Someone actually took up Wang Erde's bounty? Which Annihilation Grade big shot has nothing better to do? "
He looked at the chessboard and said with a look of realization, "My dear Fitch, I suspect that you are planning to use this to divert my attention and then cheat to win."
The head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Lowell Fitch, screamed and slammed the table. "Hey, do I look like that kind of person to you?"
Leonard shook his head. "You don't look like it."
Then he moved a chess piece and said with certainty, "You are!"
Fitch glanced at him, shrugged, and sighed. "Even though you've wronged me, I'll still treat you as my best friend."
Leonard snickered. "Anyone can be your friend as long as they have money. The cunning, heartless, money-minded Fitch."
Fitch shook his head and said, "You have a deep misunderstanding of me, but I have to say that my research is useful. The 'Clay Idol' project is already nearing its end. As long as we get the Philosopher's Stone, we can immediately proceed to the final step."
"It's all thanks to the help of Madam Doris. The quality of the Philosopher's Stone on the Coffin of Eternal Sleep is much higher than the ones made by your alchemy masters."
Leonard listened to the sarcastic tone of the old man opposite him. He picked his ear and said mockingly, "'We can immediately proceed to the final step.' I've heard this sentence dozens of times, but every time after more than ten days, someone will come back with a failure report and continue to apply for funding. Sometimes I really wonder if this is a trick of yours to cheat funding."
"That's because the Philosopher's Stone you provided is not pure enough!"
"Don't quibble. It's clearly because your skills are bad!"
The two of them stared at each other for a while, then snorted at the same time and lowered their heads to look at the chessboard.
After a while, Leonard could not help but say, "You still haven't said who took the bounty."
Although he could directly check on the Truth Society's internal network, this kind of "off-site assistance" made him feel very embarrassed.
"Ha."
Fitch let out a short strange laugh and looked proudly at the alchemy director who spoke first. He said, "I knew you wouldn't be able to guess. The one who took the bounty this time is not an Annihilation Grade, but a Panic Grade Hunter."
"Hunter? Panic Grade? "
Leonard frowned. "Are you kidding?"
He thought about it again. No, he was not. The fact that the Truth Society could approve this person to take the bounty meant that he had at least a 50% chance of completing the mission.
But if this hunter was only a Panic Grade, then the answer was obvious —
"An Annihilation Grade promotion certification?"
If one wanted to be promoted on the Truth Society's annual list, one needed to be certified by deeds.
For example, if one defeated an Annihilation Grade in a battle, then the certification level would be determined as Annihilation Grade.
If there were no battles in peacetime, then one could also go through a standardized aether test.
However, the label "standardized test" would be put behind the name, making it seem like one was inferior. Therefore, under normal circumstances, one would still use their achievements for certification.
"That's right." Fitch nodded and said, "The Panic Grade Hunter, 'Pale Night Watchman,' Burton Ackerman, proposed to use Wang Erde's bounty as his achievement.
"In the standardized test, after injecting the tainted blood, his power has definitely reached Annihilation Grade, so we approved his application."
Leonard nodded. "I see. But he can really find …"
"What are you guys talking about?"
Andrew suddenly walked in and interrupted their conversation. He sat on the sofa beside them and threw the communicator beside him.
The vice president of the Truth Society sighed and said, "I didn't expect this …"
Leonard asked, "President, what's wrong?"
Andrew's gaze was complicated. He sighed and said, "300 years have passed. I'm already old, but she's still the same as in my memory. Even her tone hasn't changed at all. It makes me feel like I'm in a dream."
Leonard thought to himself that this was probably the melancholy after meeting the person he secretly loved.
Doris's elfin was a long-lived species. It was inevitable that there would be no change. What was there to be emotional about?
However, for the sake of his own funds, it was better not to say it out loud.
Fitch asked, "President, what's going on with that bookstore? Has the Iris Family really acknowledged him as their master? "
"They didn't acknowledge him as their master, but the so-called existence behind him. The Miyi Tower's files have already been sent over. You guys can take a look for yourselves."
Andrew frowned at this statement. A hint of disgust flashed across his eyes. He muttered, "I didn't believe that there would be an undiscovered God-level existence in Nuo Jin, but the files written by Yue Sefu himself have to be taken seriously … But since the Faction's attitude is kind, we can choose to slowly probe. However, such an existence in Nuo Jin will always be a problem."
Leonard said, "What do you mean?"
"Let's wait and see."
Andrew stood up and said calmly, "Wang Erde is also in contact with this bookstore. Guide Ackerman there and let him be our eyes."
