Jiang Wei, dressed as a mercenary, walked on the streets of Blackstone Town, feeling the slightly bored eyes of the townspeople, and was a little confused: he didn't just come here, and he didn't seem to have done anything bad, why are these people's eyes a little unkind.

However, he had no intention of exploring, and this world was not the earth, and he would leave in eight days at most, so he could not win the friendship of the natives. On the six-meter-wide street, he saw several mercenaries going in the same direction and followed.

After walking for more than a hundred meters, Jiang Wei saw a signboard with a large beer glass painted on it, and immediately understood that those mercenaries must have come to drink, so he also stepped into the tavern, which is a good place to gather intelligence.

As soon as he entered the tavern, his ears were filled with loud and noisy sounds, and the sound of drinking and laughter mingled together to form a rough and bold background.

The facilities of this tavern are very simple, except for a long table for ordering wine, there are only more than a dozen thick tables left, and there are already more than a dozen drinkers.

Jiang Wei ordered a large glass of beer for a copper coin, sat in the center of a group of drinkers, and pricked up his ears to listen to the loud bragging.

"Haha, Jack, do you know? I joined a mercenary team last time, protected a caravan to the Business Alliance, and earned ten gold coins in two months. The middle-aged mercenary with a big sword at his feet said proudly, his head facing the twenty-something drinker on his left.

"Congratulations Kebu, usually this kind of task only gives seven gold coins, and you earned it!" The mercenary named Jack had a look of suspicion in his eyes and a disapproving smile on his face.

"You just have to follow me, and I'm guaranteed to earn more than you're earning now." The middle-aged mercenary drank half a glass of beer in one gulp, burped and said, spewing out a large smell of alcohol.

Jack moved back, avoiding most of the foam, and said perfunctorily, "I've had other tasks lately, I'll talk about it when I'm done." You know, I've already taken a deposit for a gold coin. Breach of contract is to pay two gold coins. ”

"It's okay, I'll still call you next time I have a task, and I promise to let you earn more money, haha." The middle-aged mercenary stretched out his thick palm. He slapped Jack on the shoulder and said triumphantly.

Jiang Wei could see at a glance that the clothes on his body were the neatest Jack among these drinkers, and he obviously didn't believe the words of this middle-aged mercenary, but just said polite words.

He sat down across from Jack. smiled and said hello: "Hello, my name is Jiang Wei, this is the first time I have come to this Blackstone Town, please give me a lot of advice." I asked for the next drink. ”

"Jack, you've got the right person in Blackstone half the year! Tell me, what do you want to know. Jack was not polite at all and ordered a beer.

Jiang Wei asked directly: "Let's talk about the strong people in Blackstone Town first, the names of big names like me that outsiders can't provoke, and I'll give you a drink when you introduce me." ”

"That's a very good question of yours. When I went to other places, I was the first to learn about the names and appearances of the strong people, and I didn't want to accidentally bump into them and die in a foreign land. The first one is, of course, Lord Orlando Mage, but we don't have a chance to run into him unless you can break into the Mage Tower, haha! ”

Jack's interest was high, perhaps to take the opportunity to get rid of the middle-aged mercenary who was spewing alcohol indiscriminately, or perhaps to hear that there was a free beer.

"The second person is the captain of the guard in Blackstone, he has a team of twenty vigilantes under him, and if you provoke him, you will know what a cruel black prison is. The third is the Tavernkeeper, who used to be a very formidable warrior. The captain of the guard can't beat him, but as long as you don't fight here, you'll be fine. ”

Jack gestured to a bear-sized man behind the long table. The man was clutching the rag with his thick palm, wiping his wine glasses one by one, looking ordinary. Nothing like a formidable warrior.

Jiang Wei was not too interested in these, and finally asked what he was most concerned about: "Do you know where to sell books nearby?" ”

"Huh? Brother, you are not drunk, except for the mage tower, there are no books stored within five hundred miles, let alone selling books. Maybe there are shops selling books in a state town two thousand miles away, haha. "There's something strange about Jack. glanced at Jiang Wei and said.

Jiang Wei snorted, staggered the topic, and talked about other things.

At this time, the middle-aged mercenary who bragged about it before said: "Have you heard, there is a major event in the territory of Master Nikolai not far away, it can be said that in recent decades, it can be ranked among the top three within a radius of several hundred miles!" If it weren't for the fact that I had a relative in the Guard, I wouldn't have known the news. ”

He chuckled in his heart, and his intuition told him that this so-called big thing had something to do with him, and after listening to it, he found that it was indeed true: "There is a mage who has ordered that five criminals are wanted, and whoever captures them can get a small town as a fief. That's a fiefdom, as long as you have it, you can become a nobleman by spending some gold coins! ”

Jiang Wei knew that he was a stranger, and it was easy to be suspicious of these local natives, so he pulled out all his spirits and tried to discern the attitudes of the people around him.

Fortunately, it turned out well, and no one looked at him with suspicion, presumably because he was alone and did not fit the description of the five people. He decided that he couldn't go back to the hotel to join Wu Jinxiong and them.

"There are wilderness everywhere within a radius of hundreds of miles, and there is no way to find them, how can I find those five people, I don't think anyone can get this reward. It's a pity, this is a step to become a nobleman, I don't know what those five people have committed to make the mage pay such a big price. Someone sighed.

"That's it, who can find those five people just hiding, this matter has nothing to do with us, you better say something else." The other drinkers' eyes were red, but they all knew that town was not for them.

The news was so exciting that the drinkers in the tavern shouted for a long time, and they didn't stop discussing it until the tavern closed late at night.

"You drink beer and keep your own accounts, leave the money at the counter, and I'll rest!" The strong tavern keeper spoke, ignoring the guests who were still drinking and bragging, and went up the stairs in the corner to the second floor.

Jiang Wei had already heard about it, and he had a great understanding of Blackstone Town, and he didn't plan to continue listening to the braggings of these guys. He figured that there was no second hotel in this small town, so he found two wine tables in the corner and put them together, and lay down on them.

I don't know how long it took, but the rude drinkers didn't make a noise, and some of them left, and some of them got drunk and lay on the table. Only two oil lamps burned in the entire tavern, and the dim light swayed in the breeze.

Wow, a footstep sounded, and finally stopped beside Jiang Wei. (To be continued.) )
