The news that the Duke of Brennus was going to hold a banquet in the royal city spread throughout the territory of Sarion with the silver king doves that fluttered their wings and flew into the sky at the head of the city. The great nobles of the Principality www.biquge.info replied with their intention to attend, but Ulrique V, who was still in Severcro Castle, declined the invitation. The city's most exclusive ale and bread workshops are already in full operation; The gardeners of Rose Manor brought roses with dew on their petals in horse-drawn carts; The butcher at the slaughterhouse changed three knives in one day; Young knights flock to the Intramural Arena to hone their martial arts skills in order to become the next Kenriko at the tournament held at the same time as the banquet. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Essiu was ordered by Dante to leave the upper city after his injuries and lurk in the lower town. Eshua didn't care, anyway, with his skills, it was easy to get in and out of Uptown quietly.

Ned is probably the busiest man in the royal city. Although Ulrique V did not remove Ned when he recalled Dante, he was still nominally the deputy director of the Inquisition, but with the tacit consent of the Duke of Elfwan, he had taken over the position of acting president. When he returned to business after many years, he didn't seem to be unfamiliar with logistics, but was so familiar that he gave people the illusion that he had never left. It's like an old rider who has stepped on the back of a horse again, and the moment he grips the whip, he shows his still superb equestrian skills, just like back then.

Ned is only worse than me. It's just a banquet, why is everyone making a fuss? This is the comment that the Gold and Silver Tiger sneered at. Schneider had just recovered from his serious injuries, but his body was still weak, and he could only recuperate at the highest level of the Royal Hospital. In the past few days that Ned has taken over the power of the Chamber of Commerce, he has been like a grumpy bad horse, writhing restlessly in the hospital bed, forcing Kia to purify the tranquilizer ointment to enhance the calming effect.

"I said, can you settle down a bit?" Kia drank low as he sipped the rotten flesh off the wound with a scalpel. He was a little irritable, but after that night, Ned seemed to be on the alert, and strengthened the guards around him, and was escorted in and out by a whole team of Blackwing monks. Eshy wanted to try to break through, but was stopped by Dante, who had some scruples—there weren't many Blackwing Monks in the first place, and Trevor had already slaughtered a team, so how could he let Eshy slaughter another team?

"Can't!" Schneider was so painful that the facial features on his face were twisted into a whirlpool, but his mouth was still hard, "If I am not discharged from the hospital, the Chamber of Commerce will only know the whip of order, not the tiger of gold and silver!" He glared at the young viscount, "What did you say to that person after I fainted that night?" ”

Kia recalled the conversation he had with Essho, a bloody exchange that only young men have, short, sonorous and tacit, as if the swords were in full swing. He lowered his head, the scalpel gently picked out a piece of ointment and applied it to the wound, and casually prevaricated: "I told him, if you want money, you will die." He said 'oh' and said no more. ”

"That's it?" Schneider's face was full of "listen to your" expression. "I've only dealt with that guy once, but I know very well in my heart that this young man is not only superior in martial arts, muscular, but also terrifyingly shrewd. It's just too far worse than I was back then. At this time, Schneider did not forget to boast, "Didn't he take advantage of the situation to let you give him his life?" ”

Kia's hand smacked, and the scalpel stopped. Schneider sensed the clue and smiled proudly: "Let me guess correctly!" Tell me, what deal did he make with you? ”

Sure enough, the gold and silver tiger is not so easy to deal with, and if he asks him again, I'm afraid something will happen. Kia continued to rip at the carrion, with a slight force on his hands. Schneider opened his mouth in pain, but Kea's eyes were quick and he stuffed a piece of tranquilizer into it. After purification, the effect of the soothing ointment was really extraordinary, Schneider glared at Kia, and just about to say something, his tongue was already stiff and numb, as if a piece of wood had grown in his mouth.

"That's all for today's treatment, I'm going out for a drink with Morris." Kia smiled and threw down the scalpel and looked at Schneider, whose eyelids began to fight, "Also, his name is Esher Baranduk, not that one." ”

Kea walked out of the gates of the Royal Hospitaller, and Viscount Maurice was already waiting. When he saw Kia, the first thing he said was: "I heard from my father about the castle in Carlindern, and you are not hurt, are you?" ”

Kia glanced at Maurice's calf-like body and slapped the other party's chest hard: "You're all right, how can I be okay?" ”

Maurice received this punch, and his mood suddenly dropped: "How can it be anything, the first time I charged, everyone protected me behind my father, and I watched them be stabbed one by one by the black spear of the Holy Sepulchre, and then my father was also stabbed by the grave keeper......" He said sullenly, his eyes red with hatred.

Kea's palms were sweating when he heard this, and he was terrified, and he patted his friend on the shoulder wordlessly. It turned out that behind the great victory was such a tragic sacrifice, and even the famous general of fire was almost splashed with blood in the desert.

"And I'm not fine, the second time I charged, my horse collided head-on with a tower sword cavalryman, and although I cut off his head, I was still rubbed by his cavalry." Morris continued. Only then did Kia notice that there was a not-so-obvious protrusion on the left side of his friend's clothes, which should have been bandaged. "Now I just want to have a good glass of beer from the Lion Tavern, and only the smell of wheat can wash the blood off my body."

The two of them arrived together at the Lion's Tavern on the border between Lower and Upper Town, which was filled with samurai from all over Sarion, and the demand for ale was in short supply every day. Fortunately, the boss had the foresight to personally move all the stocks in the cellar on the day the good news reached Wangcheng, and also placed an additional order of 300 barrels to the ale factory, which was able to survive and avoid the tragedy of the shop being smashed. However, those adventurers who are full of swords and swords will make trouble if they can't drink, and they will make trouble even more when they drink. After getting drunk, the quarrel can turn into a big thing and a small thing, even if both parties are drunk, the boss has a way to persuade them to go to the back alley. But the new hatred is easy to solve, and the old hatred is difficult to dissolve, in case the two of them didn't deal with each other before, then they had to draw their swords, and it was too late to persuade them. The day before yesterday, someone splashed blood in the tavern, and the murderer saw that there was a death, and the wine gushed out of his body with cold sweat, and he just wanted to slip away, but he was kicked on the ground and subdued on the spot.

"Do you want to die?" Two more adventurers quarreled, and it was a trivial matter, one boasting about how fast his horse was, and the other disdainfully saying that you were really good at escaping for your life. The former exploded when he heard this, and as soon as his hand put the hilt of the sword, his wrist was pinched.

"If you want to fight, go outside and fight, and leave the weapon with me." Eshua looked at the adventurer quietly, but the warning in his eyes pierced like a needle. The adventurer shrunk his neck, he was no stranger to Estheu, the young man who had subdued the fatal fool two days earlier. Then he was caught by the boss at a glance and became the town of the bar, and he also has amazing strength. Anyone who dares to make trouble in the tavern will definitely end up being knocked unconscious by Eshy and thrown into the waterlogged road in the back alley. And he had seen Ei Xiu make a move, there were many famous samurai, and even a well-known boss in the mercenary union, who relied on his own force, and he couldn't walk a single face in Ai Xiu's hands. The nostrils come in with the sky and the face goes out. The adventurer's brain, which was burned by inferior ale wine, suddenly sobered up a lot, nodded busily, and did not forget to hook his finger at the person opposite the wine table: "You, come out!" The two went out scolding.

Ai Xiu rubbed his eyebrows, if it weren't for the unique location of the Lion Tavern, he would never have come here as a town. In the last few days, he has been accompanied by the smell of alcohol, dealing with drunks, even if Esher has been with the oldest drunkard in all Pandet for ten years in Janos, the current environment cannot be said to be unbearable, but it will never make him happy.

"Huh......" Kia saw Esher at a glance, and was a little surprised in his heart, and then realized. The Lion Tavern is only a block away from Uptown, and it's still a dead end for the guards. If you're looking to lurk in the lower town, this is the place to be.
