Aftans, as the city that the Dils army had only recently captured, became the headquarters of the Dils army, mainly because Palchi was now gradually becoming stable, even the newly conquered Epsmilton and Napatis, under Li Tianhao's rule, gradually stabilized, and although the people were still conflicted in religious beliefs, at least the more comfortable life under the rule of Aki made many people begin to settle for the status quo and began to cooperate with the new ruler. However, as a city that had to surrender only to the end of the last battle in the last battle, the will of the people here to resist is even more fierce than that of the people of Durbans, who are currently in a state of self-government at the junction of Yaqui and Palci. In Durbans, the people were grateful to Palchi thanks to Li Tianhao's food relief, and the promise of autonomy freed him from the oppression of the sub-unit, and the number of people who favored Palchi in the relaxed environment was overwhelming.

As an important part of the march to Yaqui, the stability of Epfortans was crucial, so Li Tianhao moved his base camp from Epsommilton to here, and after he took charge of it, the law and order situation here was greatly improved, and the war-torn city was gradually recovering its vitality. Although the streets are not very bustling, they are far better than they were when the city first fell.

In a tavern on the side of the street, a dozen or so guests sat sparsely. The boss was pleased to be able to reopen and business was gradually recovering, especially since two of the guests were of such a distinguished status that would cause quite a stir if they were known to others: Brooks, the second chief of staff of the Dils Army, and the famous mercenary captain Xenus.

Xenus was a thirty-eight-year-old man, and his fiery red hair stood out. One of the most courageous warriors in the Tiers, he is worthy of the title of "Undefeated Mercenary", and over the past five years he has proven himself to be more than just a transcendent warrior by his prowess and deeds. is also a military general with unique command ability, if it weren't for the existence of the same monster-type character Li Tianhao. He will undoubtedly shine more dazzling; And Brooks was born in the side branch of the Yaki royal family, with the title of earl, this slightly pale face of the gentleman, in the Yaki court can be said to be unaccomplished, but after surrendering Li Tianhao, he began to gradually emerge, with his wisdom to become the second chief of staff, into the central body of the Dils army. He is a full eleven years younger than Nas, and the two can be said to be incompatible in terms of appearance and temperament, but for some reason they are quite compatible. Xenas is a big-talker, domineering nasty. There were few people in the Dils army who spoke well of him, except for the drunkard Pokel, the good old man Tatar, and the troublemaker Alam; Although Brooks is also a subordinate, he is not at all the same as the other Yaqui generals, and it is difficult for people from Palch and Dils bandits to think that they are the same kind.

However, the two men have something in common: they both love to drink and are both masters of tavern fighting; They also have a reputation as lustful men, and often go in and out of brothels; They also like to comment on other people out of their whims. Therefore, the spiritual wavelengths of these two people are quite compatible, and the friendship is getting deeper and deeper.

The two of them have been sitting together and pushing cups and changing glasses for a long time, and the topic of conversation has long since shifted from business to rumors in the market.

"I heard that you have recently been entangled with a girl in a brothel, but you are a family person, aren't you afraid that Mrs. Zun will be jealous?" Brooks took a sip of his wine. Said with a teasing smile.

Unmoved, Xenas drank the wine from his glass in one gulp, wiped his mouth and replied, "Doesn't my countess know me yet?" If she can let me out to fight, she knows that this kind of thing is indispensable, and I just say that she won't believe it without her. ”

"Then are you a broken can?" Brooks laughed.

"Don't just talk about me. You take a few women from the brothel every day, if you are so a**, why not just marry a few daughters-in-law? ”

Brooks waved his hand: "I'm a clean person." If it weren't for the beauty of a good woman, I wouldn't be able to look down on it, but I would have kept myself single until I met such a woman. ”

"Hahaha. The word cleansing comes out of your mouth and it is a defilement of the word. ”

Brooks laughed too, "Okay, okay, that's the end of the conversation." Anyway, this kid Alam is getting more and more unkind now. He seems to be deeply influenced by you, and he is always wandering around women. ”

Xenas spat and said, "What does this have to do with me!" He is Li Tianhao's apprentice! Besides, I'm not like he spends his days scourging good women. ”

Brooks looked at Xenas faintly and said, "As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and Alam is Li Tianhao's apprentice, but I heard that he spent more time with you than his master when he was a minor." The power of words and deeds cannot be ignored. ”

Xenas shook his head and said, "Then look at my apprentice Eglius, he is recognized by everyone as a good boy, and that kid was taught by me." ”

"It's different, Eglius was an adult when he was your apprentice, and besides, he is a very assertive person in his bones, and your influence can no longer work."

The two of them exchanged arguments about not having nutrition, and their voices became louder and louder, gradually attracting the attention of the surrounding guests.

"Xenas, it's Xenas." Someone recognized Xenas's fiery red hair and began to whisper.

Brooks immediately noticed it and reached out to stop Xenas's loud voice: "Don't yell, everyone else recognizes you." ”

"What are you afraid of, I'm so eye-catching, I know people everywhere, and I'm afraid that others will recognize me." With an indifferent expression, Xenas picked up the bottle and poured it up.

Just then, a woman walked into the tavern. There were very few women in this kind of tavern, and the woman's unusual attire made it even more eye-catching. The woman was dressed in a dark gray linen robe and held a wooden staff, her face buried deep in her hood and impossible to see. This kind of ascetic dress is very rare in the hot subbase area, and what makes Brooks even more strange is that the woman is wearing a silk robe embroidered with exquisite embroidery in the style of Paz, this fabric is rare even among the Yaki nobles, and its price is enough to discourage many nobles, and this woman actually wears such clothes.

Brooks pouted toward Senas Nunu, motioning for him to look back. Senas, who had his back to the woman, glanced at him, looked back slowly, and then turned back and said, "It seems that the person who came is not good." ”

"It's not a good idea to speculate like that, Lord Senas." The woman spoke suddenly, in a voice that was clearly of an age, and that she spoke in the pure language of Paz.

Xenas was shocked when he heard the voice, which seemed to have been heard somewhere, and he stood up and turned to look at the woman.

The woman took off her hood and said, "Don't come unharmed, sir." ”

Brooks' eyes straightened suddenly, and from the sound of his voice, the woman sounded at least fifty miles away, but what he saw in front of him was the appearance of a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. (To be continued.) )
