Volume Three: The Shadows Chapter 61 The Mithril Tavern
City of Lemped.
The heavy door to the Mithril Tavern was pushed open, and the drinkers inside looked up at the door.
A young man in a delicate black coat with a calm and reserved face walked in, and the most eye-catching thing was that he was followed by a young woman with short pale yellow hair, who looked older than the boy next to him.
The woman was handsome, graceful, and attractive, and some drunken people couldn't help but whistle.
"Hey, Miss, are you interested in having a drink?"
"Don't follow that skinny imp next to you!
A burly man said, causing everyone next to him to laugh ambiguously.
The woman seemed to have never seen such a scene, and she was a little at a loss, and her body leaned slightly behind the young man.
"Let's go. ”
Kerry shook his shoulders and said to Bertha, and then walked straight inside.
The Mithril Tavern was slightly dimly lit, full of tables and chairs, filled with a strong smell of alcohol, and a mix of people, including adventurers with knives hanging from their waists, and gentlemen dressed elegantly, but since they came here, they were all looking for relaxation, so everyone let go of their reserves, drank boldly, and chatted loudly.
The atmosphere in the tavern was warm and noisy.
Finding a random spot, Fox sat down and said to Bertha, "Two drinks of rye bar." ”
Bertha nodded, then went to the front desk, asked the waiter for two glasses of rye, and then came back and put them in front of Kers.
"Hmph, is it the little master of which family, the hair has not grown and the adults are drinking?"
Seeing that such an attractive woman was as well-behaved and obedient as a maid, listening to the other party's words, someone couldn't help but say sourly.
"Haha, don't be envious, looking at other people's clothes, they are definitely from rich families, and may even be nobles, and their faces are much more handsome than you. ”
Some people who were waiting to see the excitement looked at Fox with interest, wondering how the other person would react, young people of this age, most of them love face, maybe they will blush and fight each other angrily?
The men spoke loudly, as if on purpose, and Fox naturally heard them clearly, but he didn't respond, just picked up the rye wine in front of him and took a sip.
"Cut, boring"
Seeing that he didn't react at all, everyone immediately felt bored, and continued to drink as much as they should drink, and chatted when they should have chatted, gradually forgetting about Nexus and Bertha.
"It's unpleasant. ”
With a smack of his mouth, he put down the rye in his hand and pushed the other glass towards Bertha.
"Some?"
Bertha didn't refuse, and after a few days of getting along, she was already so scared of Nex at first.
"Why are we here?"
"Listen. ”
Nexus smiled.
"Hey, have you heard? Tucson's son has become a first-class magician!"
"Really? That guy's son is not yet in his twenties, right? That guy has been a trainee magician all his life, but he has raised a good son. ”
"I heard that Viscount Bellucci of the city of Donlanto died unexpectedly, and his wife Yelena inherited his title and property. ”
"Mrs. Yelena is only thirty years old, right? hehe, she is a famous beauty, I don't know who will have a chance to get her favor, wealth and beauty are both abundant······"
"Hehe, I'm afraid no one has the life to enjoy it, I heard that Viscount Bellucci's death is not so simple········"
In addition, a certain mercenary team was hired, an adventurer discovered ancient ruins, etc., where a powerful demonic beast appeared, and so on.
············
Quex sat quietly in his chair and listened, and in the bar, where information was most easily accessible, where dragons and snakes were mixed and people were stimulated by alcohol, they were free to talk.
After a long time, Kerkes, who had finished drinking the rye wine in his hand, stood up.
"Let's go. ”
The two of them immediately left.
In the corner of the tavern, two drunken drunkards stared at the two who had left, glancing at each other with a malicious smile on their faces.
"Hey, a skinny little white face and a woman, this time there is another earning. ”
········
Walking out of the tavern, Fox led Bertha through the streets, eventually turning into the alley.
"Stop!"
Two men burst out from the back of the alley, each with a short knife in their hands.
"Get acquainted, if you want to live, cooperate with us, as long as your family prepares enough ransom, we can redeem you!"
One of them waved the short knife in his hand and said with a fierce face.
The other person didn't seem to be sober yet, his body was shaking, and he was even a little unsteady on his feet, and he glanced at Bertha drunkly, with a greedy glint in his eyes.
They have done this kind of thing more than once, they are experienced, they always pick fat sheep who look rich and easy to bully, both of them are very burly, in their opinion, it is not easy to deal with a teenager and a woman who do not look strong?
Nexus looked at the two drunkards and sighed slightly, why did he always encounter such troublesome things?
"Bertha, settle it. ”
With that, he turned around and continued walking.
Bertha answered, and then looked at the two unlucky ones, her expression full of pity.
Although the direction of the ability is not melee combat, Bertha is also a real first-level magician, and it is not a problem to use magic energy to teach two ordinary people a lesson.
Before Nexus had gone far, Bertha rushed over, leaving only two people behind him to groan in pain.
·········
After this trivial episode, Nexus takes Bertha to the largest hotel in the city of Lemped, where Cheeks pays the gold coins on the first floor and opens a two-bedroom suite.
"Sir, your key. ”
The staff said politely.
Nexus nodded slightly and took the key.
Coming to the second floor, Fox chose a room and said to Bertha, "I have something to do, don't come and disturb me if it's okay." ”
Closing the door and sitting on the bed, Kerry felt a little headache: "Why the hell did you take her········
Is it because you were touched by her words? But are you the kind of person who is overflowing with kindness?
At this point, although it was troublesome to carry a person, but fortunately, he could usually help him deal with some trivial matters, shaking his head, he put these thoughts behind him.
Then, Kerr took out two identical-looking black cards from his body, one from the Akatsuki Empire from the Akatsuki Empire, and the other from Bertha.
"It's really the same········"
Nexus said after a careful comparison.
