The outpost of the Koruk Wasteland is a small outpost, with a command post that covers about two buildings and three small barracks, which encircle the central training ground in four directions, and also use the small windy rock mountain on which the training site depends to perfectly block the barren wind blowing from the north of the outpost. Perhaps because of the relationship between the original post station, many buildings here can still faintly excavate some traces of the life left by the ancient imperial people, and with the passage of time and the increasing growth of the imperial military headquarters, this post station next to the side of the Crook Road has also become a military facility and a fortress pass to check the caravans after being occupied by the imperial army.

Of course, caravans and adventurers' teams coming and going here will still be allowed to stay overnight.

"It takes at least one to two hours to hand over those things, and there's also an inventory of the goods...... Let's contact the steward of the outpost, we may be staying here today. ”

At noon at the Crook outpost, in front of the rather deserted bar called Igor's Tavern, several adventurer-looking people who were sitting here slowly focused their eyes on the players who had just entered this hall, and then responded to him helplessly: "Is there such trouble?" I thought we were going to be able to do it right away, and then we were going home triumphantly. ”

"Now that you're here, let's be at ease."

Throwing the long knife in his hand to the side of the bar, the fat man named Xingluo Fries then fanned the wind in his ear with his fat palm: "Anyway, the most difficult moment has passed, just leave the rest to the Imperial Army." ”

"I didn't expect it to go so well." Duan Qing, who was sitting on the side of the bar, nodded when he heard the sound: "Since that fire, there has been no decent attack since that fire. ”

"Originally, we had a lot of other preparations, such as dealing with the attack of monsters in the wild or hidden restorers."

It seems that he was a little tired when he was carrying goods and dispatching carriages just now, and the fat man who was panting put his arms on the bar in front of him, and his heavy body with armor then pressed out the old wooden bar with a creaking sound, which caused several people around to look sideways: "But now...... To be able to have such a result, it is still thanks to Miss Suyuliuyu. ”

"No thanks."

Waving her hand slightly, a blue-haired female swordswoman sitting on the other side of the bar wrapped in bandages then took a soft sip of the wine glass in front of her: "It's just a coincidence." ”

"Discouraged by the effects of the battle that I witnessed—well, it's a possibility." Duan Qing, who had a smile on his face, then also patted his palm: "It is worthy of being a strong man in our adventurer world, and he can intimidate all the hidden enemies just by relying on his momentum......"

"Don't be so respectful to me, I won't accept your affection again."

interrupting the other party's words, the blue-haired female swordsman who was also propped up on the bar with her hands closed her eyes slightly: "But...... The glass of wine you invited is still very good, thank you. ”

"It's hard work, why worry about it." Duan Qing, who raised his hand, then turned his gaze away from the other party's slightly shifted gaze: "Anyway, after this mission is over, we will be able to enter a large amount of gold coins into the account, so the wine this time is actually invited by Xingluo Griffin, right?" ”

"Hmph." The answer to him was a cold snort from the fat man: "Don't worry, this little money is not our turn to be treacherous." ”

"So ......"

"Wait for me, the money will arrive in a while."

Duan Qing, who was twisting his fingers, glared at his eyes, and Xingluo fries pointed his fat finger on the bar in front of him: "After the thin wolf completes the handover of the team, we can get the rewards given to us by the Imperial people, and then we will not only have gold coins to take, but maybe there will be equipment to receive ......"

"What?" Duan Qing jumped up in shock: "Why didn't you say this before?" ”

"Didn't I say that? Ah—that's what we only found out about here. ”

With an obvious triumphant smile on his face, the immobile fat man replied in a low voice, "Probably because people saw that we were doing a good job, so they added a reward or something......

"Then, then we will divide it too! This escort mission was originally completed by you and me, and since the money should be divided into half, the things should also be divided into half! ”

"After that, Star Tree Griffin should pay half of the people of the Green Spirit Adventure Troupe, that is, five thousand gold coins - the contract between us is clearly written! And what use do you want those equipment, those things are at least level 50 attributes that can only be equipped......"

The small quarrel then sounded between the fat man and the gray-robed magician, and soon it descended in the obviously much higher force suppression on the fat man's side, and the corners of Xue Ling's phantom ice, who had been sitting on the side without speaking, then pulled out a hint of schadenfreude smile, and then hurriedly hugged Duan Qing's arm in the vaguely discovered gaze of a certain observation: "This, how can this work!" The income from equipment is also income, even if we can't equip it, we can still sell it for money! ”

"Well, so what, the contract doesn't write these ......"

"Can you be unscrupulous without writing? Can we ignore the fact that there are benefits from equipment income? Are you guys in Rowgriffin going to ignore the truth that these schoolchildren can see, and continue to play word games with us? ”

"Uh......"

Even with an angry look, the amazing charm of the beautiful face under the hood still continued to shock the hearts of the people around him, and I don't know whether it was the beauty of the other party or the other party's words Xingluo Fries didn't say a suitable word for a long time, until the surrounding voices became silent before he let out an embarrassing cough: "Ahem, that...... Anyway, I don't know what the condition is, and it's not impossible to divide one or two of you when the time comes......"

"Okay, then it's settled."

Without giving the other party any time to react, the anger on his face was instantly withdrawn, and then he tightened his hand holding Duan Qing's arm: "How did I behave this time, husband?" ”

"Uh...... Aha. Duan Qing, who didn't know what to say, had to let out a few dry laughs: "This, that...... Anyway, this tavern is really peculiar, it can be built in a place like the Outpost of Crook......"

"The Crook Wasteland and the Outpost of Crook are located in the hinterland of the Empire, and the possibility of being threatened in peacetime is relatively small." In the embarrassing atmosphere in which the fat man with a black face did not talk, he still sat on the other side of the bar and answered the question lightly: "Since the Imperial people who have stayed here have nothing to do, the necessary facilities and entertainment facilities to soothe their emotions have naturally appeared. ”

"Yes, is that so?" Slightly struggling with his arm that was still being held tightly, the cold sweat on Duan Qing's face seemed to have become a little more: "But, but I still think it's exaggerated, no matter what, it's ...... such a thing as drinking in a tavern."

"You're underestimating the Empire's bold drinking."

Lowering her head again and taking a sip of the wine in front of her, the smile on the blue-haired female swordsman's face expanded slightly: "And...... This kind of cocktail-like thing can't get drunk even if you drink it no matter how many glasses you have. ”

"Don't underestimate cocktails, okay? Some cocktails are still very high in alcohol...... Belch. ”

As if he realized something, Duan Qing, who was just about to retort, then scratched the back of his head: "No, whether there is an alcohol content in the free world, it's hard to say whether they call it a cocktail or not...... Hey, why haven't the two cups we wanted come up yet, I still want to try them! ”

"Right now, you two, please wait."

In the scene of the bartender, who had been standing behind the bar and constantly mixing something, shouting something without looking back, the smile on the face of the blue-haired woman named Yu Liuyu also spread more and more, and she quietly looked at Duan Qing's face for a while while playing with her wine glass, and finally dragged her body to stand up gracefully from her seat: "If you really can't wait...... You can try this glass of my wine first. ”

"Huh? Ouch-"

A stunned sound was made slightly, and Duan Qing, who had been hit in the abdomen, then hunched over and sucked in a trace of cold air: "That...... No, no, no, we're ...... a little Just wait a little longer. ”

"Don't worry, I've only had a few bites."

Sitting a few seats closer with a wine glass, the charming smiling face that was no less than Xue Ling's phantom ice became clearer and clearer in front of Duan Qing: "Or ...... Are you worried about your little lover being jealous? She just gave you advice, and she doesn't look like the kind of narrow-minded woman. ”

"I'm not afraid that she won't agree, I'm just a little more desperate."

The expression on his face changed to the serious appearance of righteous words, and Duan Qing, who felt the feeling like a needle tip behind him, replied in a heavy voice: "If you really drink it, you will probably be poisoned when you go back." ”

"Aren't you all from Tanzanian City?"

brushed his hair slightly, and then looked at the busy training ground outside the tavern: "Anyway, the mission is completed, and there seems to be no loss when you die, and you can take a ride or something......"

"If possible, it's better for us to go back normally." Duan Qing replied with a haha: "This companion of mine and I still want to see more of the beautiful scenery of this world." ”

"Companions? Ah, right. The blue-haired female swordsman who swirled the wine glass flashed with a thoughtful light in her eyes: "You are still a member of the guild, right, listen to this fat brother just now, what is the name of your guild......"

"Wine for two."

The voice belonging to the bartender then sounded in the ears of the two, and at the same time, there was also the scene of two glasses of wine that also exuded colorful liquor being pushed in front of Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing, Duan Qing, who seemed to sense a trace of danger, then hurriedly took his own wine, and diverted everyone's attention with a toast: "Ah, finally- come on, everyone, for the smooth conclusion of this mission, how about we have a toast?" ”

", it, there is no wine for labor and management." The fat man who had been black-faced slapped on the bar in front of him: "Boss! Bring me a glass of Bloody Rose! ”

"The mission isn't over yet, why are you just drinking?"

A deep voice then appeared at the far end of the tavern, accompanied by a tall and thin man holding a large wooden box and pushing the door in: "Let's finish the business before we enjoy." ”

"Aren't you doing everything, how long have we been waiting here...... Hey. Pulling his throat angrily, the fat man suddenly turned his head as if he remembered something: "No, didn't you say that it will take at least two hours?" ”

"I'm going to get the reward out first, so I'll move it over for everyone to see."

After looking around the surrounding environment, the tall and thin player then walked to the bar in a few steps, first put the box on the ground, and then looked at the rest of the players except the fat man: "The condition is quite good, you can pick what you want first." ”

"Really?"

showed a happy expression, and Xue Ling, who was the first to laugh, then grimaced at the fat man: "Look at it, you see, it's still the thin wolf brother who has more courage than you." ”

"Hmph, the good guys have been given to him, and the bad guys have made me do my best...... Hey, what are you doing? ”

"Of course it's a pick! This is a woman's privilege and specialty. Let me seeLet me see...... Hmm, a longsword with +4 strength, a two-handed sword...... Although the attributes are very good, but the effect is very average, and the wolf skin breastplate with agility +4, wow! This effect is very good, and when attacked, there is a 20% chance to trigger the counter-damage effect, causing the attacker to take half of the damage! ”

Her eyes and her hands kept turning in the wooden box, and finally looked up at Duan Qing beside her with excited eyes: "These things are really good, which one should we pick first...... Well? ”

"You, what's wrong with you?"

The excitement on her face gradually turned into doubt, she looked at Duan Qing fixedly and ignored her back, the latter picked up her own glass with a cocktail at some point, held it high in the air in front of her, and kept looking back and forth: "This glass of wine ......"

"What's wrong with this wine?"

"How long has this cocktail been around here?"

There was an inexplicable glint in his eyes, and Duan Qing, who had put down his wine glass, looked up at the front of the bar: "Can you explain to me a little bit about the recipe for this glass of wine, the bartender first...... Huh, Mr. Bartender? ”

He turned his head, his gaze lingering on the empty area behind the bar for a moment, only to be pulled back by the sudden sound of battle outside, and the sound of vomiting blood and coughing that suddenly sounded in his ears was pulled back at the same time.

"-Enemy attack!"
