Chapter 9: Monta
I don't know if it's an illusion. Ever since Natila became familiar with the main business in the tavern, Chen Mo had become much lazier.
"Natila, clean up there. β
"Hmm. β
"Natilla, clean up over here. β
"Good. β
Linna, who was drinking juice on the side, couldn't stand it anymore.
"Store manager, you're exploiting child labor. β
Chen Motou didn't reply, and said: "My tavern doesn't raise idlers. β
β......γ β
Having said that, there were no complaints about Natila. Hearing Lina speak by herself, she just smiled and said, "It's okay, it's all small work, and it's ...... The manager also took good care of me. β
After speaking, he continued to work in his hands.
"Uh....... β
I'm talking for you, hey!
But really, in the current state of Natila, it would be nice to be busy. Alas, it's just a ...... to cheapen a black-hearted store manager. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but glance at Chen Mo, who didn't know what he was busy with.
"Jingle Bells"
The tavern has guests coming.
"Welcome. β
It was Grayles, who was wearing his guard uniform, presumably trying to get lazy.
"Hmm, Lina, you're here too. β
Seeing that it was Grayles, Linna's face became a little displeased.
"Yes, because of some unscrupulous captain, I have nothing to do, so of course I can only pass the time here. β
β......γ He explained, "You also know that this city of Lolan is not peaceful now. β
Seeing that Lina was still unmoved, Greiles continued: "You also know that the archbishop has instructed me to keep you safe ....... β
Seeing that Grayles wanted to do Tai Chi again to fool herself, Lina felt even more angry.
"But now it's been ten days, and there hasn't been any improvement at all? And you're underestimating me! I'm a third-order mage anyway!"
"But right now, it's not very safe in the city. "Greiles is going to do tai chi again.
"Whew!" forced Lina to swear directly.
In fact, after all this period of dealing with the matter, the impact has been minimized. In the end, it is the ability to manage the guards of a special city, which is still a bit of an ability.
It's just that Grayles didn't want Lina to continue, and it was only expedient to let her be a guard.
Seeing this, Chen Mo was also a little gloating in his heart, and immediately added to the fire, and said: "Grayles, don't bully Linna casually, she is also a gossip expert in the tavern now, she knows everything now." β
Hey, don't bring this?!
"In that case, then...... Then tomorrow. Seeing that he could no longer fool around, Grayles could only choose to compromise.
"No, I don't want to be a guard this time, I'm going to register an adventurer, you have to help me, or I'll tell grandpa that you're lazy and drinking during your shift!"
"You!" Seeing that Lina still wanted to beat the snake and stick it, and threatened herself, good fellow, where did that simple child go?
So you turned her eyes to Chen Mo: Is it your kid who is bad? His eyes were full of questions.
"Don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me. Chen Mo explained.
Grelles wasn't convinced.
"And I've heard that it's going to be the Adventurers' Guild rating assessment in a while, and it's a good opportunity!" said Lina again.
Well?!!
Grellers was surprised again, how could this girl know everything, so he glared at Chen Mo again.
Hey, it's not me.
"I can tell you, don't try to fool me this time!"
"Okay, okay, whatever you say!"
Grelles verbally agreed, and Lena said no more.
"Once the word is spoken, the horse is difficult to chase. If you dare to repent, I will shake out all your guilt~ parts!"
As he spoke, he also showed a vicious color, as if to say: If you dare to fool me, then you will bear the consequences!
......
At this time, the night gradually hung up in the sky. The number of customers in the tavern has gradually increased.
"Jingle Bells"
An old man in a red robe walked into the tavern. With a smile on his face, he said, "Chen Mo, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
"Huh?Uncle Zhang?!"
"Haha, that's the name again. Hearing this familiar name, the old man also laughed.
This uncle, whom Chen Mo called Zhang, was the enshrinement of a large chamber of commerce in Luolan City. His real name is Zhang Dena, because this name is somewhat similar to the nomenclature of Chen Mo's hometown, so Chen Mo habitually calls him "Uncle Zhang".
"I haven't seen you for a while, are you out of town?" asked Chen Mo.
Zhang Dana nodded and said, "Well, this time I escorted the caravan to the Sola Alliance, and there was an accident on the way, so it was delayed for a while. β
"What's wrong? No surprises, right?"
"It's fine, it's just that I met a tide of beasts in the Pilsner Mountains, so I stayed for a while. Fortunately, the scale of this Warcraft wave is small, otherwise, I wouldn't have come back so easily. β
"I see...... β
The PlzeΕ Mountains serve as the boundary between the Holy Empire and the Sola Alliance, as well as the Forests of Garner, which makes the region a place where animal tides are frequent.
For a long time, the people in this area have gradually summed up the law of the occurrence of animal tides and many ways to deal with them.
And every time there is about to be a beast tide, the local guard will issue a notice in advance to remind the caravan to divert its route. Therefore, although there will be a tide of beasts, the damage caused by each time can be controlled.
"Why didn't you change the route this time for the beast tide?" asked Chen Mo.
Zhang Nade shook his head: "I don't know, the team leader didn't receive any notice." This beast tide came quite suddenly. I heard that there were also caravans that encountered a beast tide head-on and suffered heavy losses, but fortunately we haven't left the city yet. β
"It's okay, it's okay, and it's safe to return. β
"So that's kind of lucky. Zhangnad smiled.
"Isn't that something to celebrate? Like...... Your favorite tequila. Chen Mo replied
"That's! hehe-" Speaking of drinking, the old man also laughed innocently, "I've been hungry for your tequila for a long time, but I must drink a few glasses this time!"
"Well, this first cup, I asked you at the time, congratulations on your safe return. With that, he poured a glass of wine, then took out another plate of splash beans and placed it in front of Zhangnard.
"Then you're welcome. β
That being said, in action, it's already drinking.
Seeing Zhang Nade's appearance, Chen Mo also felt bitterly smiling, he was really a drunkard.
However, most of the people who come to this tavern are not people who have various connections with wine, whether it is for friendship, or for love, or for family. Wine, at this moment, has become a bond between people, or an outlet ...... for emotional catharsis.
And so the night began.
......
"Thanks for the hospitality. β
"Walk slowly. β
After sending off the last group of guests, the night was already very thick, and opposite the bright starry sky was the city of Luolan, which had fallen into darkness and silence.
Chen Mo suddenly said, "Natila, you go up and rest first." β
"Hmm. β
In contrast to the night, there is more than silence.
After Natila went upstairs, Chen Mo returned to his seat and began to mix wine.
"Jingle Bells"
The door to the tavern was pushed open. And Chen Mo continued to mix his wine.
"Presumably Your Excellency is Mr. Chen Mo. β
The visitor was a middle-aged man in a black suit with a hairstyle on his back. Behind him were two followers, and depending on the situation, it seemed that there were several outside the door.
"I heard that your wine here is very distinctive, I wonder if Mr. Chen Mo has any recommendations?"
At this time, the wine in Chen Mo's hand was also completed.
"If you recommend it, this is it, please use it slowly. β
"Oh?"
He was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Chen Mo to have already made it. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little awe of Chen Mo in his heart. He waved his hand and motioned for the entourage behind him to go out.
He sat down in front of Chen Mo. Then he picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "Well, this wine is really extraordinary." I don't know if there's a name?"
"Named: The Other Side. Chen Mo replied.
Hearing Chen Mo's answer, the guest couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahahaha, it seems that Mr. Chen Mo already knows who I am?"
Naturally, I knew that the person in front of me was the mastermind behind the turmoil in Xicheng District, a member of the Elders of the Wolf Gang - Monta!
"Of course I do. β
Seeing this, Monta didn't bother to hide it: "Since you know, then the matter will be easy to handle, then I will say it directly, I want to ...... I don't know if you will cooperate. β
At the end, the tone became tougher.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be very likely to be frightened by this momentum.
And Chen Mo chuckled: "Heh, since I knew that you were coming, it was naturally a decision made in advance." β
Well?
Immediately, Monta remembered the name of the glass of wine in front of himβthe other side. In the Raya language, this means "to refuse".
"Could it be that Your Excellency wants to interfere in the internal affairs of my Wild Wolf Gang? As he spoke, he showed a "very nerve-wracking" expression.
In this regard, Chen Mo replied: "When do I need to pay attention to your feelings when I do things?" At the same time, he let go of his momentum, like a wave of qi, and pressed towards Monta.
The strong negotiate with the weak, and the winner can be determined in an instant. At this time, Chen Mo was the strong man.
"Uh-huhβ"
For this sudden air pressure, Monta couldn't help but suffocate, even as a sixth-order fighter, he couldn't detect the depth of the person in front of him. This shows that the strength of the person in front of him is at least above the ninth order!!
"You say, how about my wine?" Chen Mo smiled, looked at Monta, and said slowly.
At the same time, he also put away his aura, and at the moment, it seems that he is just an ordinary store manager who is harmless to humans and animals.
"Huh...... This...... Only... As you wish. β
With that, Monta hurried out of his seat and walked out of the tavern.
It wasn't until I was blown by the cold wind outside that I woke up, and at this moment, I realized that my back was already soaked.
The attendant standing at the door couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what's wrong with you?" when he saw his boss looking frightened at the moment, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Monta suppressed the fear in her heart and said tremblingly, "Let's go!"
After taking a step or two, he still felt that he couldn't calm down in his heart, so he beckoned an attendant who was closer to him, asked him to step forward, put his ear to him, and said, "After you go back, you will secretly find someone to deal with Star, don't ......make a noise." β
Although he wondered why Monta did this, the attendant nodded honestly, only that someone would "disappear" again tomorrow.
"Okay. β
"Hmm. Then Monta patted the attendant on the shoulder, not knowing whether to encourage him or comfort himself.......
......
So, at night, calm was restored again.
