"," Maggie asked, "what to drink?"

"No," the archer smiled and decisively declined in a sweet voice, "you don't have anything good here anyway." ”

"Good things for you to drink, that's a tyrannical thing. Haha......" Maggie laughed dryly.

"Hmm......" Giggs suddenly stood up silently with his glass and left the bar, slowly moving to the table behind him.

Sid also felt a strange tension in the air, and even lost the interest in toasting with Rodel, and cleared his throat uncomfortably.

"Give me a waste, won't you waste it if you give it to him?" the sweet voice did not hide its anger. As soon as the words fell, there was a snap, and Ian didn't even see the movement of Titil's bow, and an arrow had already pierced the cup in Giggs's hand. The arrow flew straight across the bar with the remains of the glass, thud into the back of the couch where Babich was sitting.

Babich jumped up: "Enough of you! I finally came back alive, but I don't want to die at the hands of you jealous women!"

Giggs stood up and moved to the side with an ugly face.

"Old goblin, give you face, do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Maggie's figure had disappeared from the bar, and at some point quietly appeared behind Titi, her hands hanging easily, but in the palm of her hand were two short and inconspicuous daggers.

"Who do you say is the old goblin!?" turned slowly, her voice still sweet, not in the slightest because of her emotions that had become low and gloomy or high-pitched and harsh. Her chin was raised slightly haughtily, her face flushed, and the bow she held in her left hand trembled slightly, evidently already raging.

"Captain, we're back!" Suddenly, a voice heard by Ian came from outside the door. As the footsteps approached, a swordsman with a mechanical arm and a warrior with a halvic helmet with two short axes were seen walking in from outside. It was the mechanical swordsman who spoke.

The mechanical hand swordsman didn't notice the tense atmosphere in the hall at all, and went straight to the old man Rodell and saluted respectfully: "Captain, my subordinates have completed the task of clearing up with Ah Ji, and now they are back to restore their lives." ”

"My name is Achilles!" the warrior in the hawksbill roared under his breath, "How many times do I have to tell you, and don't call me Aki?"

"Ahh ”

"Achilles!" the Hawksbill Warrior was a little frustrated, "the next time you change the robot, let them change your head too!"

Achilles said this, and finally noticed the two ladies in the middle of the hall.

"Maggie, what are you doing standing here, I'm thirsty. ”

"Drink it yourself. Maggie replied coldly, her eyes still fixed on, and she met the half-elf's angry eyes without fear.

"What did you say?" Achilles was about to sit down at a table when he stopped and turned his head to look over, "How dare you talk to me like that?"

"Wow, another grumpy man," Babich said in a mocking tone, standing up at some point, leaning on the back of the couch, and teasing in a mocking tone, "Why do we have so many big people here, all of whom are from aristocratic backgrounds?" Ian later learned that the only person in the Warscar Mercenary Regiment who was from a noble background was Babich himself.

At this time, Ian, like Sid, turned around and sat with his back to the bar. He only felt a flower in front of him, and Achilles, who was supposed to be in front of him, suddenly disappeared.

"Babich, you don't want to live anymore!"

With a bang, his axes were crossed around Babic's neck, and the latter used the knife that pierced the sofa to resist the momentum of the two axes. Although the axe stopped, it could not stop Achilles' ferocity—Babich was pushed against the wall and the couch flew away.

"Babich!" Giggs, who had kept an unusually low profile, finally couldn't help but exclaim, "Come on, kill him!"

All eyes were focused on the two men, and the two ladies found it boring.

"Commander, you don't have to ...... Don't you need to persuade them?" asked Sid Rodel.

"Young people, it's good to be energetic. Another sofa flew up and slammed against the door, and the old man laughed, "When I was young, I was more passionate than them!"

"Are you embarrassed to mention when you were younger?" a deep, deep voice came from the landing where the stairs on the first and second floors meet. There were only a few words, and they had nothing to do with the people who were fighting, but they seemed to make the air condense, and the source of the sound attracted everyone's attention.

Titi's voice was so beautiful that it was breathtaking, but this voice was a majestic voice that intimidated those present.

Everyone looked at the source of the sound, and it was Lena standing on the platform on the second floor.

At her feet was a creature smaller than her, as if he was the one who had just spoken. It had the head of a rodent, and two sly black eyes hidden in black circles. He stood up as upright as he could, so that he could appear taller. But soon gave up and chose to climb the guardrail of the platform instead. He leaped deftly, jumped up in three or two strokes, crouched down neatly, and then rolled his tail forward.

Ian saw a clump of blond hair on the tip of his tail.

The mongoose people, a minority among the subhumans, are extremely rare in number, second only to the half-elves. Most of the mongoose men's tails are black, and the gold color is especially special - it seems that this is where the Golden-tailed Chamber of Commerce comes from, and Ian can't help but think of the name of the Chamber of Commerce.

It's just that his voice is too different from his appearance.

"Chamber of Commerce mascot?" Sid whispered a joke in Ian's ear, but immediately shut up. As soon as he spoke, he caught a glimpse of Maggie's hostile gaze. Cat people are so sensitive in hearing.

The mongoose man continued in a deep voice: "When you are the head of the regiment, you don't look like a head of the regiment. ”

Old man Rodell proudly made a gesture that he had only used to introduce himself: "Rodel is at your service, President." ”

The mongoose man stopped paying attention to the oily old man, and said loudly, "Except for the injured Jinx, everyone else is here, right? ”

Lena walked down the stairs and found a random chair to sit down.

Ian couldn't help but turn his head to look at the people around him, and sure enough, they all sat down honestly, including the shield-wielding female swordsman who came back at some point. She had already erected the huge shield in the doorway, and she sat directly on a square table nearby, her feet in metal armor boots stepping on the chair, which attracted Maggie's eyes again.

"The mayor's guards have sent me news that the demonic beasts in the town have been cleared, and the residents living on the outskirts and the merchants passing by have suffered many casualties, and the guards are stepping up to repair the damaged gatehouse and parapet. "It's just—" he dragged out his last note and glanced around the people below, "Oh, I almost forgot, you're Lena's guests, aren't you?" he waved his paw to sit down Sid, who was about to get up and salute, "You're friends of Lena, and you're friends of mine." I'm the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Victor. ”

He cleared his throat and continued: "What I want to say does not involve the secrets of the Chamber of Commerce, and it doesn't matter if you stay. He looked at Ian and Sid again, "Instead, you should have heard this news, and it should be my gift to you." ”

Sid and Ian looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.

"I will issue a Chamber of Commerce notice today, which does not recommend that merchants of the Goldtail Chamber of Commerce enter the southern part of the empire, and use any route in the southern part of the empire to travel to the Eastern Ancient Kingdom. ”

"Oh?" asked Babich, "I'm a little curious, what's going on in my hometown?"

The mongooseman glanced at him: "I have received news from the mayor of the town and the intelligence officers of our Chamber of Commerce from all sides, and I can already make two facts clear: first, the concentration of magic essence has increased significantly this year, and it is increasing at an incredible rate, the activities of demonic beasts in various places have become frequent and aggressive, and the awakening of high-level demonic beasts should also be taken into consideration. Second, there have been a number of serious Warcraft disasters in the southern part of the empire, and I don't know the details of your hometown, but several villages have been destroyed, which is similar to the situation in our vicinity. ”

Babich shrugged, not seeming to care.

But hearing that the village had been destroyed, Ian couldn't help but get nervous. He couldn't help but interject and ask: "In the south of the empire, which route divides the north and the south?"

The head of the Chamber of Commerce turned his head to look at Ian and responded, "Among the safe routes that can still be passed at present, the closest to the south should be from Babel City to Najian City in the Empire, and then pass through Huxin Town and Qingfeng Village all the way to the east, take this road to reach White Kite City, and then enter the Eastern Ancient Kingdom." ”

It was the route that Ian and the others fled from, because the strongholds were scarce and the population was depleted, and the merchants usually did not take this route.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but immediately became vigilant again: Qingfeng Village was already the southernmost safety line?

He glanced at Sid, and the other had the same suspicion in his eyes.

"As for your mercenary group," the guild leader turned back to Rodel, "I will allow you to take on the commission of the mercenary guild as an individual or as a group. ”

Rodel's gray eyebrows shrugged: "Hmm, when we were so idle before, you didn't let us take the commission." Now the surrounding situation is not good, why is it ......"

The president interrupted him, "So you can't be a businessman." The situation was relaxed before, and I spent some money to support you to ensure that in case of an accident like today's, my Goldtail Chamber of Commerce would still be safe and sound. If you look at the Greyclaw Chamber of Commerce in the east, as soon as you see that the activities of the Warcraft have begun to be frequent, they have sent out mercenaries to escort their caravans...... Now it's okay, right?" Victor didn't continue to describe the fate of his peers, "Now that the situation is urgent, I let you take over the commission will definitely improve and help the situation in the region." So Mayor Marew me a favor again, and you—" the president paused, smiling greedily, "I didn't have time to say that I was going to take a head on your commission. After all, you're still under my contract. ”

"Cunning ......"

"I knew he wasn't so kind......"

There was a whispered discussion below.

"Okay, I'm done. President Victor said, looking at Ian and Sid again, "What about you, do you want to join Rodel's Warscar Mercenary Regiment?"

Sid squirted out a gulp of wine, choking and coughing, his face flushed.
