Nightingale Bar.

The aroma of barbecue, the mellow aroma of ale, and the noise of mercenaries filled the bar, and after many years, nothing had changed.

The barmaid Nightingale was lying on the bar counter squinting and drowsy, and the barmaid and barmaid were served by waitress and barmaid and didn't need Nightingale to take care of her, she was here every night because she liked the atmosphere. Looking at those mercenaries who drank heavily and bragged loudly, I felt that my young years were still there, and I was still the beautiful female mercenary who attracted countless men.

"Aunt Nightingale!" a familiar voice sounded in front of the bar.

Nightingale opened her sleepy eyes, and stood in front of her a smiling young man with black hair, who she didn't seem to have seen.

"Auntie, don't you remember me?"

Nightingale rubbed his eyes vigorously, black hair, a good-looking smile, and a heroic and hard face, and then suddenly grabbed the man's arms from behind the bar, "Are you little Arthur?"

Arthur nodded vigorously, his eyes moistened before he could say a word.

"Let Auntie take a good look at you, little Arthur has grown so big, he is already a big man!" Nightingale habitually pinched Arthur's cheek with one hand.

Arthur blushed a little, but it still didn't stop Aunt Nightingale from behaving like a child.

Behind Arthur there was a foul laugh.

Only then did the nightingale realize that there were other people behind Arthur, and she was a little embarrassed to take her hand off Arthur's face, and the little boy was now an adult man.

"You've brought your friends with you? Let your friends sit down and try Auntie's barbecue." ”

Arthur naturally didn't come back by himself this time, there were still seven people standing behind him, Joan, Huey, Arya, Spence, the Ten Princesses, Ellenie and the dwarf Toruan, and Arthur's cloak was hidden under the faceless ice fairy Gru, except for Shino.

After the battle of Wuling Mountain, with the fall of the "Divine Punishment", all the clues were broken, and Arthur, who had nowhere to go for the time being, returned to the dwarf kingdom.

Shino didn't live long in the dwarven kingdom before he was the first to leave. After all, he was a family man, and he said that he would go back to see Gloria and the children, and then prepare to take a casual stroll around the mainland. Because the high-ranking people of all ethnic groups can feel that this matter will never end with the destruction of the "divine curse", and there must be some conspiracy hidden behind this.

Led by the "Star and Moon Guardian", all the clans have not given up the follow-up investigation of this matter, and Shino himself is also interested in this matter. He is not for the righteousness of the human race, he purely uses this matter as a way to sharpen himself and cross the peak of martial arts.

Arthur originally planned to leave after breaking through the war school in the Dwarven Kingdom, but after only half a year of cultivation, he and Joan both encountered a bottleneck.

Although the difficulty of crossing from a war captain to a war school is not as difficult as that of the war general Tianguan, it is also stuck in more than 90% of the martial arts. Crossing this level requires not only the improvement and control of the total amount of Dou Qi, but also the understanding of the realm of martial artists and the transformation of Dou Qi.

The reason why Huey was the first to enter the war school was not only the effect of the two temple elixirs at the beginning, but the tempering of life and death battles again and again in the Necromantic Heights, and the tempering between life and death was the fastest way to cross the realm.

Arthur's own Dou Qi Gong was incomplete, and it was even more difficult to try to cross the realm by relying solely on the accumulation of Dou Qi, so he left the dwarf kingdom ahead of time regardless of the risk.

In addition to the reason for Arthur's early departure from the kingdom of cultivation bottlenecks, there is also the fact that he can't let go of the doubts and obsessions in his heart. The secret that the corpse of the leader of the "Divine Punishment" and the person who received the goods in the Solon Gorge seemed to be the same person, and he didn't tell anyone, this matter was so incredible that even he couldn't confirm it.

In addition, Arthur has another clue, that is, the small box of celestial star wood that was used to hold the pendant. Keynes gave it to a little girl in the Mercenary Guild, and if he could get the box back, he might be able to follow the client's leads.

It was this series of reasons that led Arthur to return to Ciudad Huaolez after eight years of absence.

After Aunt Nightingale arranged seats and wine and meat for Joan and Huey, she pulled Arthur to her side again to take a closer look, and sighed, "I really grew up and made so many friends." ”

Nightingale naturally saw the Light Priest, Dwarf, and Elf in the team when arranging for them, although they couldn't tell the rank, but such a team was by no means something ordinary people could form.

"Auntie, how are you doing all these years? Is there any news that Tony or anyone else is still alive?"

Nightingale shook her head lightly and sighed, "What a good boy, still thinking about them." Since you left, it has been completely deserted, and only recently was bought by a merchant from the royal city, and you can't see anything if you want to go back and see it. ”

"It's okay, I'll restore that place to normal. ”

Nightingale looked at Arthur incredulously, "You bought that big mansion in the South City?"

Arthur smiled evilly and nodded.

"Didn't you stop by this time, come and see your aunt and leave?"

"No, I'm going to rebuild the Blue Enchantress Mercenary Group, and I don't plan to leave when I come back this time. ”

Nightingale was stunned for a moment, then shook her head again and again, "No, kid, don't think that after such a long time, things will pass, those killers have extraordinary backgrounds, and they won't let you go." You have a meal at Auntie's place, and leave with your friends quickly. ”

Arthur smiled, "I don't need them to let me go, I've already dealt with them all." ”

"What did you say?"

"I said I'd killed all the killers, and I went into their headquarters, destroying their entire organization. ”

"Don't joke with your aunt. Nightingale still couldn't believe it.

"Auntie, please quickly bring me a copy of the barbecue and golden rum in the store, I have been thinking about these things for all these years outside, I will tell you more while eating. ”

"I even care about greeting others, but I forget you. The nightingale smiled and went to get Arthur something to eat.

Arthur devoured a large piece of barbecue and wiped out most of it, and then began to tell Aunt Nightingale about his experiences over the years.

Even though Arthur had tried his best to pick up the main thing, because the experience was too magical, it also made Aunt Nightingale cry and laugh for a while, not only sighed again and again: "You have really suffered outside all these years." ”

Nightingale had not noticed when she listened to Arthur's story, and there were so many mercenaries in the bar today that there was no place for them.

When the nightingale looked up by chance, he found that the lobby was almost crowded with mercenaries, and wondered, "Why are so many people running to me today?"

Arthur wiped the oil from his mouth, and said with a smile: "I'm not as good at talking as Captain Keynes back then, and since my blue enchantress has been rebuilt, I have to officially explain the future rules to the other mercenary groups in the city." ”

As Arthur spoke, a familiar figure walked in......
