The Behemoth of Xavier Chapter 60: The Tavern Controversy
At this moment, the tavern waiter brought fried pork chops, a few vegetables and ale, and suddenly the smell of meat penetrated into Chi Bone's nose.
"Gentlemen, roast leg of lamb has to wait a little longer. Just then, the waiter's voice rang out, interrupting the conversation at the same time.
Roasting lamb shank is a delicate job that must be swirled in a charcoal fire from time to time. Only the grilled outside is charred and tender on the inside, and the outside is roasted to a golden crispy skin, and when you cut a piece of it, the half-red meat with blood on the inside is the most delicious enjoyment.
Cassel was looking forward to the dish of roasted lamb shank, so he introduced it in a colorful way, making the bones drool.
The three of them ate delicious food and drank ale. Sure enough, a breakthrough was made in one of my father-in-law's experiments, and mine is becoming exceptionally cheerful today.
Joseph told some trivial stories about the Imperial Academy, and from time to time there were some stories that outsiders did not know, and Cassel also picked up two sentences from time to time, and Chi Gu became a loyal listener.
The halls of the tavern were a bit noisy, as most of the diners were rude mercenaries and adventurers.
The other table, five meters away from the table where they were, seemed to be arguing, and the sound of the quarrel was accompanied by the sometimes huge bronze wine glass smashing on the table, causing the listening Chi Bone to frown slightly.
The waiter came over with a wooden plate of sliced charcoal-grilled lamb shank, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with the tavern's special spices. Even from a distance, the olfactory bones with a keen sense of smell can smell the fragrance.
At this moment, the quarrel next to him became intense.
"You're a brute force fool, as stupid as your name suggests, Hall. A tall, irascible bald man slammed the cup on the table and stood up.
The man at the table, Hall, bowed his head and looked dark, his long curly brown hair falling down, making his owner appear somewhat silent. He just stared at his glass, gulping it dry as the man across from him cursed.
"If you hadn't run in the wrong direction, those damn werewolves wouldn't have run away. You can still laugh happily in front of everyone, what a brainless guy. Hall's silence didn't make the bald man stop his taunts.
"Hey, Wright, damn it, you're overdoing it, sit down. You know Hale was unintentional, drink the damn wine in your hand, and then I'm going to hear your apology to Hale!" A very tall, small-haired man at the table slapped the table and ordered in a stern tone. A hideous scar from the corner of his left eye to his right cheek added a bit of viciousness to the man's face.
The scarred man's words calmed Wright a lot, and Hall lowered his head and gasped, then slowly let go of the hand that was holding the copper cup.
The sturdy copper cup was pinched by him and changed shape, and the traces of his fingers on the copper cup proved that this man's strength was far beyond ordinary people, you must know that he had not used any fighting spirit just now.
Both of them seemed to have a lot of respect for the man with the scar on his face, and the other two at the table began to persuade Wright and Hall.
The group fell silent, and Hale held the distorted wine glass, and then poured himself another glass from the ale barrel on the table.
Just when everyone thought that the farce was over, the lowly Wright muttered a low voice, which completely detonated the anger that Hall had just extinguished.
"Those damn werewolves, damn it, don't know how many barrels of ale are missing. ”
Wright can swear with his life that he really just feels sorry for the bounty of killing those werewolves, after all, one werewolf's head can be exchanged for ten gold coins on the border battlefield. He definitely didn't mean to continue sarcastically mocking Hale, after all, their boss had spoken.
But that's not what Hall thinks in his heart, and he knows he's made a regular tactical mistake after all.
I was just complained by Wright, but if it's wrong, it's wrong, and he, Hall, is not the kind of person who wants to argue three points if he doesn't pay attention.
The boss spoke, he suppressed the anger rising in his heart, he thought that this matter was over, and just used the ale to numb the annoyance, but the cheap Wright on the opposite side mentioned the ale again.
Hall's now somewhat confused mind didn't think about the true meaning of this sentence, he just felt that he had just poured the ale Wright and deliberately blamed him with the ale.
Enraged, Hall smashed the glass in his hand at Wright, who hadn't had time to sit down.
With a "dang", the copper wine glass smashed into Wright's metal breastplate. The sheer force caused Wright to stumble backwards, and his back slammed into the waiter who had just stopped in front of the three-person table with a delicious roasted lamb shank.
Chi Gu has been paying attention to these people, and at the moment when the waiter was hit, Chi Gu instantly stood up, holding the waiter's shoulder with one hand to stabilize him, and the other hand firmly caught the wooden plate that had left the waiter's hand.
Chi Bone had just put the plate he had picked up on the table, and Hall on the other side had already jumped over the table, landed in front of Wright, and then punched Wright, who had not yet stood firm.
Hall was not tall, only up to Wright's chest, and his dark skin was a little dark red under the influence of alcohol. The figure that looks a little thin is muscular, as if there is no fat at all.
The scar-faced man also changed his face, and hurriedly stood up, intending to drag the angry Hall. He knew what kind of strength this not-so-tall Hall had.
As an archer of the mercenary squad, Wright is not known for his defense. It happened so fast that Wright didn't have time to pick up his Dou Qi armor.
And Hall is a person with a rare talent for strength, and even without fighting spirit, a punch from a furious blow is enough to shatter Wright's head.
Now the scar-faced man only hopes that Hall's brain still remembers that the person in front of him is his teammate, and killing people in the city is a felony, not to mention that Hall will never want to mess around in Verbo City in the future, and it is unknown whether he can escape under the pursuit of the city defense army.
The scar-faced man was already very fast, but he still couldn't catch Hall, who punched instantly. Just as Hall's heavy punch was about to hit Wright's panicked face, a large, white and powerful hand grabbed Hall's unstoppable fist at once.
A loud "bang!" rang out in the noisy tavern, and a burst of air rang out between the fists, causing the hair of the three to fly backwards. Wright was also startled by the sound of the explosion and the dark fist in his ears, and sat on the ground, his face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat gradually oozed from his forehead. No one will laugh at him, and whoever has just walked on the brink of death will not look much better than he is in his current state.
The three people at Hall's table all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then looked at the owner of the hand that caught Hall's fist as if they had agreed.
A boy who looked less than twenty years old, with a height of only one meter eight, could only be regarded as medium height for these mercenaries. The body wrapped in a samurai suit that is not loose is very strong, with black braids on his head, and his handsome face is not as rough as the mercenaries, more like a noble young master who has not experienced the wind and sun.
What surprised them was not the age of the teenager, but the fact that the teenager had also caught Hall's punch in anger without using his fighting energy.
You must know that even if Hall does not use a fist of fighting spirit, he can penetrate a three-centimeter-thick imperial steel shield, which is unimaginable to ordinary people, and this is the terrifying advantage of those who are gifted with ability.
Could it be that this young man is also a person who is endowed with strength? This thought came to the minds of the three of them almost at the same time.
Hall was equally shocked that the boy was able to take his own punch, but his now chaotic mind didn't give him time to think.
"Ahh
With his waist sinking, his knees squatting slightly, his body on one side, the muscles in his shoulders tensed, and he slammed forward, right on the punch that Hall had hit.
The shoulder of the skull used the power of the waist twist to "bang" Hall's fist and crash it away, so powerful that Hall's dead fist could no longer be clenched.
Immediately after that, Chibone's right hand grabbed Hall's bounced arm and pulled it back, dragging Hall in front of him.
Hall was a little unsteady on his feet, but years of life and death on the battlefield made him fight back almost reflexively, and his other arm was also bent into an elbow shape, and smashed into the neck of the chrug.
With his left hand, he easily blocked Hall's elbow, and his slightly squatting knee slammed against Hall's defenseless stomach.
This knee knock sent both of the skinny Hall's feet off the ground. Even though Hall, as a power-type innate ability, his own defense was far beyond that of ordinary people, he almost threw up.
Twisting Hall's arm so that Hall's back was facing him, he kicked him in the crook of his leg, pinning Hall to the ground, and then pressing his knee down Hall's lower back.
Hall's struggles couldn't get the bones to move. In the eyes of Chi Gu, Hall is indeed incredibly powerful, but it is also compared to other martial artists that Chi Gu has seen.
The strength displayed by Hall is already equivalent to the strength of Teacher Ace's fighting energy, which is far from the muscle strength that Chi Bone now has four or five tons of muscle power in every move.
Chi Bone estimated that Hall should have about two tons of muscle strength, which was amazing enough, and it was the first time he had seen someone close to him in pure muscle strength. You must know that Mr. Ace's muscle strength is only close to a meal.
At this moment, Chi Bone suddenly felt that the Hall muscles that were pressed under him began to bulge, and a faint brown fighting qi appeared on the surface of its body.
Hall felt as if he was being pressed by a mountain, this kind of pure power suppression was the first time he had encountered it, and the discomfort and fear in his heart finally began to ferment under the influence of alcohol, and the fighting spirit was naturally used.
The few months of the Chi Bone in Aixavil were not in vain, and he had seen a lot of all kinds of martial artists, so he was still very good at judging the strength of martial artists.
Chi Gu could feel that Hall probably had the strength of the fighting qi around the middle stage of Qi Induction (Lord), which made Chi Gu a little surprised. I didn't expect to meet a mercenary here casually, with such a high strength.
The strength of the fighting spirit in the middle stage of the qi induction is enough to serve as the captain of a mercenary team, even if Hall does not have such amazing muscle strength, he is already a rare master among mercenaries.
The fighting spirit in Hall's body became stronger and stronger, and the strength of the struggle became greater and greater, and even the bones could no longer hold him motionless to the ground.
The surprise in Chi Gu's heart grew stronger and stronger, and he could feel that the thin man under him had nearly doubled his strength after using his fighting energy.
Earth-based Dou Qi is originally the type of Dou Qi of main defense and strength, and it is naturally suitable for those with strength-type innate abilities. Fortunately, even if Hale doubled his strength, he still couldn't beat the bones. Although Chi Bone also felt a little struggling, he still didn't let Hale break free.
