Chapter 105: Tavern Experience

Although it is said that you want to enter the quarantine area, it does not mean that you can enter it. The quarantine and non-quarantine areas in the city are more than 100 times more tightly guarded than those inside and outside the city.

The next day, after having a hasty breakfast in the basement, some people went back to Hearthfire Island, and some people planned to go out of the hall to get information. Anyway, with Novo and Peggy, one can detect and control pathogens, and the other can manipulate and strengthen immune cells, it is almost impossible for everyone to get sick.

Asker, Peggy, Sheila and No, the four of them came out of the hotel, each wearing a mask, although it was not necessary, but in order not to arouse the strange eyes of others, everyone still had to follow the local customs and disguise themselves as normal people.

Taverns, compared to inns, are easier to gather gossip. found a sunken underground tavern outside, and just as the four of them were about to enter, they were stopped by several men at the door.

"Pull down the mask and take a look." The guys, who were apparently guarding the door, said, "No sick people are allowed in." ”

Your standard for judging infected people is to see if they have yellow faces and thin muscles? Aske was also speechless, so he pulled down his mask.

He said that the three girls in the back pulled down their masks, which immediately aroused the amazing eyes of the janitors. However, the other party also knew that during the epidemic period, just looking at whether the face was healthy or not, could not identify 100% of the infected people, so he didn't have any provocative thoughts, but he just stared greedily at their faces for a long time before letting go of half of his body:

"Let's go inside. If we find out that you are infected, you know what will happen. ”

The four of them descended the stairs to the tavern hall, found a place in the center and sat down, ordered a drink (but did not drink it), and listened quietly to the conversation around them.

"The tavern is the embodiment of the vitality of the bottom of the city." Sheila said lightly, "If a city is not even frequented by taverns, then the city's lifespan must have come to an end. ”

"At least they still have people to drink." Nou also breathed a sigh of relief. The scene of the corpses on display when she entered the city before really scared her.

As they stared at the wine on the table, they heard the whispers of conversation at the next table, mostly sighs and complaints:

"The neighbor Joffrey's family is all dead, the floor is full of rats, and they were almost all eaten when they were found......"

"I just had a check-up at the hospital yesterday and I'll have to take Anna again tomorrow......"

"If you don't go out of the city......"

"There is no place to live outside the city, the rent of the house is so expensive that I can't sleep in the wilderness, and I am bitten by wolves......"

"The main thing is the recruiting officer, they don't dare to come in the city, and the conscription outside the city is unscrupulous......"

"The old man really wants to think of it. Soldier? What kind of soldiers should be during the epidemic period of this epidemic, men are fighting outside, women and children are sick and dead at home, and they don't know if they are eaten by rats, who dares to go out to fight with confidence? ”

"Don't say it, drink and drink......"

Everyone listened carefully, and gradually gained a general understanding of the miserable life of the people at the bottom of the city today.

On the one hand, there was a plague epidemic, and the city was constantly dying, and the rest of the people were panicked.

On the other hand, the Count was still sending recruiters to recruit soldiers on a large scale. Those who have families are reluctant to go out to fight, for fear that no one will take care of their family members if they are sick, and the recruiters can only take coercive measures.

It's okay to fight with the wind, but if there is a small defeat, maybe he will leave the camp at night and escape, and it is no wonder that the earl wants to find mercenaries to come and support.

"It's really troublesome." Sheila subconsciously put herself in the perspective of the ruling class, frowned and said, "Now is really not the time to use the sword, but internal and external troubles are coming." When the border provinces encounter such a situation, shouldn't they ask the central government for help as soon as possible? ”

At this, she laughed self-deprecatingly again.

The HRE was a loose feudal state, not a bureaucratic centralized state like the Eastern Rosla. To put it bluntly, Innsbruck's problem is your lord's own problem, and you should take care of your own territory, even if the people are all dead, it has nothing to do with the Weissbach family.

If it weren't for the invaders and the Wolf family, who had declared war and targeted the whole of Bavaria at the beginning, Weissbach would not have even come to the aid of common sense.

However, for everyone, the current situation is a bit awkward. The mission is to support Innsbruck, but to what extent?

Now you can still do the task, and when the wolf army is under the city and Innsbruck is completely defeated, the blue sword will face a prudent decision: is it to help defend the city? Or a strategic retreat to the mountains of Akhnau?

The task is the task, and the life and death are naturally important, and further evaluation is definitely needed in the future.

A few more people walked down the steps from the door of the tavern, but it was Alfred and his party who had just returned from the battlefield, and their robes were still stained with blood, attracting the attention and suspicion of the people around them.

A janitor tried to stop him, but was slapped against the wall by one of Alfred's men, unable to struggle. So the drinkers in the tavern all turned back as if nothing had happened, these people were strong and murderous, and they seemed to be in a bad mood when they looked at their faces, and they couldn't afford to provoke them.

"I will kill until I am soft, and when I come back, the year-end bonus is gone." The men sat down at a table not far from Asker, their faces gloomy, "What fucking bad luck, shit mercenaries. ”

"Don't go to those people's stubble." Alfred warned him, "Those people are not to be messed with. The blonde knight among them, you know? Noble, the eldest lady of the Weissbach family! A mercenary group that can accept the children of big nobles into the group, you weigh it in your own hearts, and how strong your background is. Lao Tzu also fought with them back then, whether you believe it or not, anyway, I am convinced. ”

"Are you scared of them, Alfred?" Someone sneered, "If you had recognized their identities earlier, we wouldn't have been forced to lose so much money." ”

"Fart." Alfred said, "And the red-haired woman, the mind sequence is all old. Even if I said it at the time, would you believe it? It's not all gearing up to win the 1,000 marks! ”

"Don't talk about it." Another said, "My heart aches when I talk about losing money." Now that the rich have fled to the outside of the city, we, as transcendents, have to rent a house in the city, and we may one day become sick. ”

"Hey, you said that we are also transcendental, why don't we go out and get some money?" Someone spoke in an eerie tone.

"How do you want to get money?" Alfred sneered, "Set up an early stall to sell bread?" ”

"You don't have to sell it early." The man waved his hand and said, "I say, how about we take some mercenary business too?" ”

"That's fine." Alfred touched his chin, "But if you have a side hustle, you can't let the Earl find out." ”

"Then we'll be tight-lipped." Of course, everyone patted their chests and promised.

"When it comes to side hustles, the most profitable thing must be to transport drugs into the quarantine area to sell!" Someone suddenly said, "The medicine that is outside is transported inside, and it is said that there is at least a tenfold price difference." ”

"Do you have a way?" Alfred asked.

"Hey, you're asking the right question." The man looked cryptic, and his voice was immediately lowered.

Next to him, Nuo silently opened the mind reading.
