Volume 1 Daughter City Chapter 24 Auction House
There was no one in the dimly lit tavern, and by the light, the proprietress brought some side dishes and bread.
"Boss, what the hell is going on with the orcs in the south?"
Tang Xuan tasted the bread of the south, the south is the place where the nobles live for a long time, and the bread here is sweet and delicious, far beyond the products of the east.
The proprietress poured the wine in the cup, shook the wine glass gently, and a helpless look appeared on her face, only to hear her slowly speak: "The orcs in the south are not as good as the north, there are no tribes here, and orcs can be found anywhere, for example, the mountains outside Xueyang City are the habitat of the civet clan." ”
When the words fell, Tang Xuan's heart was shocked, and at this moment, Erin's face was filled with excitement, and she continued to ask, "Boss, how is the civet clan doing recently?" Are there any dangers? ”
The proprietress who saw Erin's identity smiled and continued: "Don't worry, with the skills of the civet clan, ordinary people can't catch them." ”
After hearing this, Erin breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid not that the people of the civet clan would be caught, but that they would be confused by human rhetoric, and then drugged into a coma and transported to other places as slaves.
"Don't worry, Irene, we'll go outside the city tomorrow to look for the civet clan," Tang Xuan gently touched Erin's little head and said softly, "Boss, are there any other orcs near Snow Yang City?" ”
The proprietress took out the map of the entire Mi Wei Miao country, and saw that the entire southern border was surrounded by the sea, like a small island, and she said: "The southern border is a must for those dukes, and now the southern border is in turmoil, and some orcs who have no ability to protect themselves have already secretly taken a boat to the north or the east and west realms, and only the civet clan dares to stay." ”
Tang Xuan nodded slightly, the proprietress's words were indeed good, some orcs who did not have the ability to protect themselves would choose to leave in this situation of endless war, and the civet clan was agile, even well-trained knights could not catch them, which was also the reason why they were able to stay in the southern border.
Knock knock!
There was a sudden knock on the door outside the tavern, and the proprietress changed her face and said to Tang Xuan, "I'm sorry, it's time to open for business." ”
Tang Xuan smiled and bowed his head, anyway, he had already heard everything he wanted to inquire about, and from now on he set out to find the clansmen of the little flower cat.
"Erin, would your people be willing to go to Daughter City?"
This question has been buried in Tang Xuan's heart for a long time, and if the civet clan is unwilling to go to Daughter City, Tang Xuan can't force it.
"Woo meow, sister, they all want to live in a stable environment, but our civet clan is not good at water, and we will be dizzy when we ride the boat for a long time, so the civet clan has never been able to leave the southern border."
The corners of Erin's mouth rose slightly, and two cute little tiger teeth were exposed, as if she knew that she would be able to reunite with her relatives soon, and she couldn't stop feeling happy in her heart.
"Erin, you never told me who your sister was?" Tang Xuan asked.
"My sister's name is Amy, and she is the leader of the civet clan, and her strength is much stronger than mine."
Erin's furry little paws gently caressed Tang Xuan's face, smiling lovely.
At the same time, the door to the tavern opened, and three or four knights in golden armor with swords and daggers at their waists entered the tavern.
At this time, the proprietress smiled and took out a few bottles of wine and a few bags of copper coins from the cabinet at the front desk and handed them to these knights, she resignedly said: "A few adults, let's give a few more days." ”
"Hmph, just like that, you have the face to take out the money? If you can't pay the taxes again, I'll tear down your tavern right away. The blonde knight at the head had a fierce look on his face and scolded the proprietress with a fierce face.
"Yes, yes, Xiaomin will definitely pay all the taxes next time, please rest assured."
The proprietress smiled in a low voice.
Seeing this, the claws in Erin's hands flashed coldly, and Tang Xuan also took out Kesha's silver dagger from his waist.
"Also, tell all the untouchables who come to you to drink that tomorrow I will collect silver coins from the untouchables in the whole city for the auction of Duke Dinos, and if you can't get the silver coins, you will die!"
The knight roared angrily, and when the words fell, the face of the proprietress changed greatly, as ordinary people, where could they have the ability to produce silver coins? It's hard to come up with even ten copper coins.
But in the face of these knights, the proprietress did not dare to resist, so she had to pretend to be obedient and keep nodding.
The knights took away all the wine on the counter before they were content to leave.
Boom!
The door to the tavern was suddenly sealed, and only a candlestick was lit in the dimly lit little shop. And the proprietress has long since disappeared, and the flickering lights create a terrifying environment.
The knights drew their swords from their waists and looked around warily.
"How... What's going on? ”
One of the timid knights had already begun to tremble.
"What are you afraid of, pretending to be a ghost! Come out for me! Have the ability to go head-to-head! ”
The blonde knight at the head roared angrily, his eyes constantly looking around.
As soon as the words fell, I saw a silver cold light flash, and a dagger pierced the blonde knight's throat, in the dark environment, where could he react?
"Huh? Die... He's dead? ”
The rest of the knights were already in disarray, their faces full of horror, they had already discarded their swords and began to knock frantically at the door.
"Help! Help me! ”
These knights kept banging on the door, frantically shouting for help.
Tang Xuan sneered in his heart, raised the dagger in his hand again, and walked towards these people.
......
"I'm sorry, hostess, for messing you up here."
Tang Xuan smiled awkwardly and looked at the corpses and blood stains all over the ground.
"Alas, run away, kill these knights, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape a day later."
The proprietress sighed and began to clean up Tang Xuan's mess.
The behavior of these knights to oppress the people really made Tang Xuan unbearable, if he fought in the daytime, Tang Xuan was definitely not the opponent of these well-trained knights.
But when it comes to conspiracy and catching turtles in the urn, Tang Xuan is definitely a first-class master, and if he falls into Tang Xuan's trap, even if he has a hundred lives, it is not enough.
"Boss, here is a gold coin, you take it and run away, if you don't know where to go, take a boat to the daughter city in the east, where you will definitely live a very happy life."
Tang Xuan had already seen the difficulties of the proprietress, and she also wanted to leave the hell on earth in the south by boat, but the conditions did not allow it, and these nobles came to collect taxes every now and then, so that the proprietress had no funds to flee from the south.
Seeing the gold coin, the proprietress's expression did not change much, and she smiled bitterly: "You killed these knights for me, I can't be ungrateful, you go first, I will take this charge for you." ”
When the words fell, Tang Xuan's heart was full of admiration for the proprietress, even if he gave up his life, he had to repay the favor, such a person is hard to find in this world.
Tang Xuan smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, boss, you can escape from here first, if you want to repay the favor, then go to the daughter city to find me, Irene, and I will naturally leave the southern realm after finding the civet clan." ”
Speaking of this, the proprietress was still a little hesitant, but after seeing Tang Xuan's firm eyes, she sighed helplessly and said, "You guys are all careful, there may be patrolling knights in the mountains south of Snow Yang City, be careful." ”
......
In the center of Xueyang City, there is a Qionglou Yuyu, which looks resplendent and splendid, this is an auction house, and it is one of the best aristocratic places in the entire Mi Wei Miao country.
Horse-drawn carriages were parked outside the auction house, and some middle-aged men with bloated figures, dressed in rich silk and gold and silver jewelry, stepped out of the carriages, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then walked into the auction house.
Tang Xuan had already inquired clearly, the reason why so many nobles were gathered here today was that there was a divine artifact for sale in the auction house, and these dukes all wanted to get this artifact, so they gathered at the auction house in Snow Yang City.
"Young Master, are we going?"
Erin and Tang Xuan hid in the dark alleys, observing the every move of those nobles.
"I'd like to see what that artifact is."
Tang Xuan muttered in his heart, and then said to Erin: "We must go, but we can't go in like this." ”
