Chapter 1: First encounter with the five
"Boss, five glasses of Murga". Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Champ, I don't need it".
"Rector, it's okay with just one drink."
"No, I'm going to go into the mountains later, I have to adjust to the best condition."
"Well, what an uninteresting man," Chaim said. "Boss, let's have four glasses of Murga." "Okay, I'll be right away," the boss Tarsi responded enthusiastically, "Ryan, serve a few distinguished guests." At this time, Tasi's heart blossomed. Murga is the best and most expensive liquor in the store, and the profit from four glasses of wine is almost half a day's income. Then a nine-year-old boy walked out from behind the counter with four glasses of Murga. Ryan's skin was a healthy wheat color, his body was strong, his pace was steady, his plate was sticking to his hand, and not a drop of the four full glasses of wine were spilled.
Ryan looked at the five as he laid out his glasses. The nearest to him was a middle-aged man covered with scum, with unkempt hair, and a sword wrapped in coarse cloth beside him. To his right was a very charming young woman, with long blond hair, a tall nose, fair cheeks, blood-red lips, and seductive eyes that swept over him as Ryan looked at her. Lane was so frightened that he didn't dare to look at her again. Sitting opposite her were two men, well-looking and resolute, one carrying a bow behind his back, and one standing behind a spear, exuding a compelling heroic spirit all over his body. If the middle-aged man is like the neighbor's uncle, these two people are like soldiers on the battlefield. And the two have seven appearances, and they should be a pair of brothers. Sitting opposite the middle-aged uncle was a very handsome young man, with a sickly pale face, wearing a wide robe, with only his head exposed. He sat in the darkest corner of the hotel, his eyes closed, oblivious to him, or even perceptible. He seemed to feel Ryan watching him, and suddenly his eyes opened, and although there was no expression on his face, he could feel a chill in his eyes. It was as if he was looking not at a living person, but at a corpse. Ryan was glanced at by him, cold sweat oozed from his back, as weak as a sheep being targeted by a strong lion, although it was only a short time, but Ryan felt like a hundred years had passed. Ryan quickly put down his glass and ducked back to the counter.
"Rector, how do you bully a child" At this time, the young woman teased, "That little ghost may have seen your bad face, so he looked at you twice." After saying that, he covered his face and smiled.
Rector didn't pay attention to it, just said lightly, "Jessica, are you really sure there is goods in the mountains"
"Why, you still don't trust people?" Jessica said with an aggrieved face, "People have worked hard to get out of Rondo."
"It should be true, twice as many people have been coming to Mount Lagos recently than they were some time ago. Judging by the number of people who know about it so far, this is an opportunity for us," said Cham, who drank half a glass of wine in one gulp.
It's not dark yet, there are not many people in the hotel, and the counter where Ryan is located is not far from them, and the conversation between Cham's and his party can be heard clearly by Ryan, and a trace of strange color can't help flashing in his eyes.
Ryan has been helping his father Tath take care of the hotel since he was sensible. The "Forest by Night" hotel is the largest hotel in the small town of Marto. The town is located at the foot of the southern part of the Lagos Mountains, and there is a forest between the Lagos Mountains and the town, and many mercenaries who enter the mountains from the southern part of the Lagos Mountains will rest and resupply in this town. There are many other towns like this scattered at the foot of the Lagos Mountains, and Marto is just one of them.
"Forest Night" entertains some mercenaries like Chamme every day. Reading words and emotions is one of Ryan's best skills. Hearing their conversation, Ryan's heart was not at peace. It's no wonder that there have been a little more people going into the mountains lately than before. Could it be related to the sound I heard in the middle of the night? Could it be the fox? Thinking of this, Ryan turned his gaze to Cham.
Chaim took a sip of wine from his cup and said, "How's the preparation going, Hales, Hellter?"
"No problem, as long as you find some clues, you will definitely not be able to escape our tracking."
"Hopefully we'll find it."
"Don't worry, you can definitely find it with the boss's means."
"It's hard to say, there are other mercenary groups competing with us, and Rondo's Lion Mercenary Group should not be underestimated."
"Yes, there are quite a few powerful mercenary groups."
"Well, other mercenary groups can develop to this day, and the means are not simple, and they must have special skills in tracking prey."
"Tracking, what are they tracking? Alone? Or is it an animal? Ryan pondered as he laid out the wine on the counter. Is that the fox? Is that fox precious? After a while, Cham's party was almost drunk and ready to leave.
"Boss Checkout"
At this time, Cham's shout interrupted Ryan, who was thinking. I saw him casually put a gold coin on the table and said, "Don't look for it." Then get up and leave. At this time, Tasi had already walked over, and put away the gold coin with a smile, "A few people go slowly, come often when you have time."
Seeing this, Ryan shouted in his heart. Ryan grew up in the town and could see many mercenaries come and go every day, listening to them talk about their experiences while drinking in the hotel. Ryan has always longed for this kind of adventurous life, and the dreamer himself will one day be able to venture everywhere, otherwise he would not often run to the mountains where there are no wild beasts, and his skin will be sunburned. It's just because of his mother that Ryan hasn't told Tashi what he thinks. Ryan hadn't seen his mother since he was a child, and no matter how much he asked, Tath was silent. Tasi was only in his thirties, but he looked like a man in his forties, with a lot of gray hair on his head and a slightly haggard face. Only when the guest is more generous, he will show a smile, and he usually looks at Ryan blankly and sighs uncontrollably. Thinking of this, Ryan really couldn't rest assured of his father.
Ryan is conflicted at this time, on the one hand, his father, on the other hand, his own dreams. Ryan watched Chaim and his party walk out of the hotel and sighed softly. If your guess is correct, then you will be 80% sure to get in touch with them, or even join them. Among the mercenaries I have seen, except for those who are alone, the least are seven or eight people, and there are dozens of people. And there are only five of them in Cham, which means that their strength is definitely not bad, and it is not my dream to be able to intersect with them? But for the sake of his father, he had to give up.
Ryan looked disappointed and in a gloomy mood, and slowly wiped down bottle after bottle of wine from the counter. While wiping, while in a daze.
"Smack"
Before I knew it, the bottle in my hand slipped off.
Ryan then reacted from his daze, oh no, why was he so careless. Looking up at his father who looked at him with a concerned face, he couldn't tell what it was like.
Ryan hurriedly said, "Sorry, father, I'll clean up right away"
"No need, look at your blank look, I know what you're thinking?" Tasi said earnestly, "Would you like to be like them?" ”
"No, father, I'll help you keep the hotel going."
"Don't lie to me, I grew up watching you, I know what you think, I always thought you were just impulsive, and I wanted to change your mind slowly. I didn't expect you to be so adventurous, and I know that with your character, if I didn't say it, you wouldn't have spoken. Speaking of this, Tasi sighed heavily, "I have lost your mother, and I don't want to lose you again." ”
"Father, you said mother, mother she?"
"She's fine, I'll see you again, it's just that it takes a lot of money" Speaking of this, Tasi seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. "Go ahead, do whatever you want."
"Father's ......"
"It's okay, don't worry about me".
"But didn't you always want me to stay with you and help you?"
"It's nothing, you always have to leave me."
"Father's ......"
"Go ahead, I'll just invite someone else in the hotel, I'm looking forward to the day when you grow up, perhaps, to see your mother needs to rely on you"
"Okay" Speaking of this, Ryan's hesitation disappeared completely, and his eyes became more and more determined. Ryan bowed to Tath and gave him a deep look. Then he turned upstairs and packed some of his belongings, and left the hotel without looking back. During this time, Tath just looked at Ryan silently and did not say a word.
Looking at Ryan's departing figure, a beautiful woman's face gradually appeared in Tasi's heart. Ryan is so much like you!
The few guests in the hotel looked at the father and son quietly, they were all scattered mercenaries, although most of the mercenaries were rude, but they didn't have any bad intentions, and they didn't bother them very tacitly. There was silence in the hotel. After tasting the aftertaste, I found the embarrassment in the store. sorted out his mood and said, "Let everyone see the joke, today I have a treat, everyone will drink"
"What's the matter, boss, you have a good son. It's like my son, who doesn't understand me at all for working hard outside, and every time he sees me, he just asks me for a gift without saying a word."
"Yes, you should have invited us to drink, you should celebrate that you have a good son, so sensible at such a young age! If I had such a son, I would support him in whatever he did, but I didn't, why? Because Lao Tzu is still a single person, hahaha."
Hahaha, everyone in the hotel laughed.
"Boss, don't always be sad, come and drink with us."
"Haha, then I'll let go of my belly and drink today." Tasi seemed to have figured out something, "I'm old, so I'll leave anything to the young people."
There was a burst of laughter from the small hotel......
