965 Three guests come to the door
"Boss, serve me the best wine!"
In the free world, in front of the bar of the Wind Eagle Tavern in Tanzanian City, one of the two adventurers who had just sat down laughed and slapped the table in front of him, and at the same time looked at the tavern owner named Paul with an upstart-like expression: "The best wine?" What is your best wine here? Wootland? I've never heard of this name, but it's only a thousand gold coins, a thousand gold coins! Hahaha! β
"What's the matter with you, little brother?" White, a regular customer of the tavern sitting on the side, put down the wine glass in his hand with a strange expression: "Got rich after a trip?" β
"I've made a fortune, I've never seen so much money in my life!"
Laughing and answering the question raised by a drinker next to him, Duan Qing, who was holding a glass of ice blue wine, looked around the tavern: "I'm happy today, I have asked everyone here for the wine money!" β
"Hey, aren't you getting a little carried away?"
Amid the cheers of the originally noisy taverns around him, the cloaked woman sitting next to Duan Qing hurriedly tugged at his sleeve: "Have you forgotten the days when we were penniless before?" The NPCs here are very good at drinking. β
"Don't worry, this is a full 80,000 gold coins."
Raising his hand at the room of drinkers, Duan Qing, who was raising his glass, pointed to a bulging money bag at their feet: "Eighty thousand gold coins for one mission...... Hehehehe, it turns out that making a fortune by doing tasks is not a dream. β
"It's strange to say." So Xue Lingphantom Ice also showed a puzzled expression: "How could that mission give so much money?" β
"It's been dragging on for four years, and it's doubled in a year." Taking out his adventurer's manual, Duan Qing pointed to the place where the pages of text marked the rules of the adventure mission were located: "At the beginning, it was 10,000 gold coins, but now it's 80,000 gold coins?" β
"Then we should probably delay it for another year." Xue Lingphantasm rolled her eyes: "Otherwise, I won't be able to see enough for you to spend." β
"Anyway, the money won't be spent in vain."
Pointing to the crowd around him who were raising their wine glasses to celebrate, Duan Qing exhaled a leisurely breath of wine, and then pushed the appetizer that Paul brought up later in front of Xue Linghuan Bing: "Look at the expressions of those people looking at us...... Our reputation in the Wind Eagle Tavern must have increased a lot, and if they are useless now, they may have a miraculous effect at some point in the future. β
"Well, you're the head of the regiment anyway." The corners of his mouth tugged at a slight smile, and Xue Ling Phantom Ice then forked the fruit in one of the fruit bowls: "It's up to you to decide what to do with these bounties." β
"Don't blame me for that reason, you wrote that name." Duan Qing tilted his head helplessly when he heard this: "The entire registration form is your handwriting, and you can set the adventure party as you want......
"The name of the regimental commander must be yours."
Waving his hand slightly, Xue Lingphantom Bing turned his chin against Duan Qing's shoulder: "Because...... I'm the one who listens to you. β
"Come on, when you fought in the canyon before, you didn't make a lot of decisions."
Poked the other party's forehead with disdain, Duan Qing put on a sneering face: "And what if I become the head of the regiment?" Aren't you the only one under your hands? β
"Isn't it enough for you to show off with me?" Snow Spirit Phantom Ice turned his head sideways: "And you are not only the head of the group, but also the leader of the Green Spirit Guild, what is the difference between the two...... I don't need to remind you, do you? β
"People, money, things, and things must all be in my hands...... Shh Duan Qing, who understood what the other party was referring to, sighed involuntarily: "That's why I don't want to join the guild, it's all troublesome and headache-inducing." β
"Since you don't want to care, then I'll put away the money bag of 80,000 gold coins first."
His toes tapped on the conspicuous bag between the two seats, and Xue Ling's phantom ice gestured with a helpless face: "If Boss Paul asks in a while, please think of your own way to pay for the wine in the entire tavern first-"
"Oh, hey, don't, don't, can't I be wrong?"
Hurriedly pulled the money bag that emitted a pleasant sound to his feet, and Duan Qing, who raised his head, let out a few dry laughs at Xue Lingphantom Ice: "I finally made so much money, how can I not enjoy it once?" β
"As long as you don't make it so conspicuous." Xue Lingphantom Ice looked at the left and right of the bar with a little vigilance: "From the moment you came in to show your golden hand, I have noticed countless pairs of eyes passing under our feet. β
"I know, I know." Duan Qing replied casually: "Coming here with this money bag originally meant to cause trouble, otherwise, how would we know what the current situation in the city is?" β
"The current situation in the city."
Lying on the other party's shoulder, his head shifted slightly to the back, and Xue Ling's voice became muffled: "What has become of the city now......
"You just have to look at the eyes of these people in front of you."
Following her gaze that shifted from her cheeks, Duan Qing's gaze gradually looked behind her, and then took a few hidden figures who had been paying attention to the movement here, along with a group of laughing hall drinkers. It seemed that he sensed the intention of Duan Qing and the two of them to observe the surroundings, and those few eyes hid back into the noisy tavern hall, but for an old Jianghu like Duan Qing, this level of hiding could not escape his eyes: "Well, only one or two people who want our money bags...... It seems that the security in the city is much better than before. β
"That's right, after all, His Royal Highness the Prince is in the city now, if he can't even solve this level of Xiaoxiao, then he really can't be called a pillar of the empire."
"Solve these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the big fish will not show up easily, and such means as Jianbi Qingye may play a certain role in the real battle, but in this kind of anti-war, it ......"
"Not necessarily, the results may already be there."
The drinkers who were still walking back and forth gradually blocked the vision of the two of them, and Xue Lingphantom Ice, whose cheeks were almost together, also chuckled and turned his head, raising one of the wine glasses in front of him, while gently fiddling with the fruit bowl in front of him with his fingers: "Although this effect is ...... for us"
"It's not a good thing."
A sonorous sound then appeared at the door of the tavern not far from the two of them, and a figure with the appearance of a soldier gradually moved towards Duan Qing's location, and the armor and uniquely shaped helmet with the obvious imperial logo also continued to move with the momentum emanating from this figure, forcing some of the strangers around him to retreat out of the range of the bar. Standing firmly in place and Duan Qing who had re-positioned each other, the two of them silently confronted each other, and the imperial soldier who took off his helmet then revealed his long hair and his face in the air full of the smell of wine, but the gaze that had been staring at Duan Qing slowly turned to the opposite side of the other side of the bar: "...... Are you looking for these two too, adventurer? β
"That's right."
As this voice sounded, a player wearing a Taoist robe with the words "Hongshan Old Dao" on his head sat on the seat on the other side of the bar with Shi Shiran's movements: "I see that these two people have ruddy faces, high impressions, and generous shots, and they will definitely be auspicious people in the future, so I have come to make friends." β
"I can understand the ruddy complexion, what does Yin Tang Gaozhao mean?" John Corner's originally expressionless face was a little more strange: "Is it a new way to use magic?" β
"You can see this face as a way to peek into your fate." The player named Hongshan Lao Dao replied with a smile: "Of course, Your Excellency, your face also looks very good, although there may be a sign of blood light recently, but if you can take measures and make good use of it......"
ββ¦β¦ This guy. β
Looking at the familiar appearance of the person who ignored John's anger and began to sell the Five Elements Yin Yang Technique, Duan Qing couldn't help but chuckle, but the thought of picking up the wine glass just now was interrupted by the cold eyes of Xue Linghuan on the side, and at the same time, her rather stiff fragrant shoulders appeared: "This guy ...... He's the guy over there. β
"It's really rare that you actually know him?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "Aside from the final League Cup final, you shouldn't know more details about the Battle of Tania, right?" β
"I've heard some of your descriptions, and I've been investigating them for a while." Snow Spirit Phantom Ice explained in a voice that only two people could hear: "Later, when the Wings of Liberty settled in the Magic Empire, I met those high-level magus with Freedom Fly, and I met them a few times. β
ββ¦β¦ Sounds like a lot of information. Duan Qing's brows gradually furrowed: "Is it the organization called the Royal Knights?" β
"I can't remember the specifics, because ...... You know, I was a little unconscious at that time. β
Closing his eyes slightly, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who buried his head, pressed his fingers to his eyebrows: "I can't remember the guild and power that this guy belongs to, the magic empire was in full swing at that time, so the people who came and went there were too mixed, but ......"
"He must be from the Restorationist camp, I can guarantee that."
She tilted her head, her blinking eyes and her curved eyelashes fluttering up and down in front of Duan Qing's eyes: "Now you're running hereβyou understand?" β
"I understand, because I also have some friendship with this guy, and since he is here, it means ......"
"Hmph."
A heavy cold snort then echoed in the air near the tavern bar, but it was not Duan Qing whose face was gradually gloomy that made this cold snort, and John, who pushed the Taoist man aside, then returned to Duan Qing's field of vision again with heavy steps: "I don't have time to waste here, so ...... Come with us, boy. β
ββ¦β¦ Where to? Duan Qing, who had been sitting all the time, turned his head slightly when he heard the voice: "What reason?" β
"Go to our city guard in Tanzania."
Ignoring the glances of the surrounding drinkers, John slapped his palm on the bar counter on Duan Qing's right: "As for the reason...... You should know it in your own heart. β
"Wait a minute, wait a minute."
Before Duan Qing, who could pull the corners of his mouth, wanted to refuse the other party's request, the voice belonging to the old Taoist of Hongshan then sounded behind them again: "He is a nobleman, a friend I just wanted to make, and I haven't had time to drink and talk with my friends, and you officials and gentlemen have actually begun to interfere without permission?" β
"Your friend?" John tilted his cold gaze: "I'm afraid you don't know each other, right?" β
"As the saying goes, fate is a guest, and a guest is a friend, and those of us who walk between the mountains and rivers pay the most attention to going with the flow." Hong Shan Lao Dao waved his long sleeves fearlessly: "This friend just invited me to a glass of wine, and I haven't had time to thank you." β
"How can I let you ignorant people go and take him away at will?"
An increasingly false smile appeared on the faces of the two people as the old words fell, accompanied by the increasingly cold atmosphere between the two people, and the smell of alcohol that diffused between the taverns seemed to have lost its original intoxicating fragrance at this time, but added a bit of anxiety to the space in front of the bar. Pu Fan's big palm slowly landed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the imperial soldier named John looked at each other for a long time with the old man in front of him with sharp eyes, and finally slowly sank his head in the sound of coughing: "Well, His Royal Highness the Prince has just issued a ban before, strictly prohibiting fights at night in the tavern......"
"Well said, well said." The corners of Lao Dao's mouth, which had been raised upward, also sank slightly: "This officer and soldier master is really a person who understands the general situation, and he is also proficient in the art of advancing and retreating......"
"I didn't say I was going to give up."
The voice interrupted the other party's words in a low voice, John slowly released the fist that was blocking his mouth, but his eyes, which were originally oppressive, were transferred to Duan Qing who was watching the play on the side with a silent momentum: "You." β
"Do you know this so-called 'friend'?"
ββ¦β¦ I don't know. β
Amid the noise that gradually rose again around the bar, Duan Qing shook his head: "But as he said, there doesn't seem to be anything bad about making a new friend." β
"This noble man really has a special eye." The old man's voice was full of joy: "Then we-"
"Sorry, I don't have time right now."
Raising his hand in front of the old man, Duan Qing, who interrupted the other party again, then pointed to the gap between the two of them: "I can't accept the invitation of both of you, because I now have my own guests to receive." β
Along his arm, the two of them looked together in the direction of a blue-haired female swordswoman in light armor and a gorgeous sword at the waist that was standing at the door of the tavern, "If nothing else......"
"Would you please give up a seat to this friend of mine?"
