Chapter 14: The Little Acorn Tavern
After pushing open the wooden door, Levi walked into the tavern called Little Acorn.
The area of the tavern is not large, it seems to be only forty or fifty square meters, probably because Levi came at the wrong time, now there are less than ten people in the tavern plus the owner and waiter, and it is not as noisy as Levi imagined, the drinkers are all three, two gathered together, and discussed something in a low voice.
Xiaobai's arrival caused a little commotion, and a bald man who seemed to be the boss hurriedly greeted him: "Lord Hero, what do you want to eat?" What to drink? ”
As he spoke, he squinted uncontrollably at the very majestic white lion in front of him, which seemed to be a little young, but its preciousness was unquestionable.
Levi naturally knew what the other party was worried about: "It's okay, Xiaobai won't hurt anyone." Levi waved his hand and motioned for Xiaobai to quickly find a place to squat, and then he sat down himself.
The tavern owner licked his face and smiled, then handed over a paper menu: "This is what we can offer in the tavern." ”
Levi glanced at it and found that although there were not many types, the prices were all very cheap: ordinary beer, a cup of beer only cost 1 copper coin, a pie cost 2 copper coins, a fresh fish cost 3 copper coins, and a night stay is only 5 copper coins.
And according to the communication with the tavern owner, Levi learned that he could temporarily house his subordinates here, as long as he paid the accommodation fee every day, and he could even go offline here, which could be regarded as a safe zone.
However, it was originally limited to human subordinates, and Levi's Xiaobai and the two hounds could not be placed here, until Levi said that he could pay more, and the tavern owner hesitated for a long time before agreeing.
Of course, there are also expensive things in it, a bartoma sausage for 3 silver, a glass of fine wine for 10 silver.
Levi's thought back a little about the maintenance cost of the class he just saw, the maintenance fee for the spearman is 3 silver per week, that is, 30 copper coins, an average of almost 4 copper coins per day, well, the money for two pies, if you calculate it like this, it is really not expensive, because the militia with a cheaper price, his maintenance fee can't even afford a pie a day...
Levi glanced at the others in the tavern and saw that although they weren't staring at him, their small movements showed that most of their attention was on themselves.
Levi stood up directly and said loudly: "I'm Levi, who just arrived here today, and everyone may feel that I am a stranger now, but I believe that we will soon become friends." ”
After finishing speaking, Levi snapped his fingers: "Trouble boss first send everyone here a glass of oak fruit wine, count it on my head." ”
Oak fruit wine, looking at the name, should be a specialty here, it is a lot more expensive than ordinary beer, the price is 3 copper coins a glass, but this money is nothing to Levi's, although he is still a level 0 Chosen Hero, but he is born much richer than these low-level troops.
The tavernkeeper immediately responded: "Okay, Hero, please wait, I'll be right away!" ”
The sound in the tavern was first stagnant, and then the atmosphere instantly became lively.
"Haha, thank you!"
"It's refreshing!"
"Worthy of a hero!"
The oak wine was quickly placed in front of everyone, and Levi's was no exception, he took a sip from his glass, and found that the taste was actually not bad, with a slight aroma of fruit and wood.
After everyone had finished drinking, Levi continued: "As you all know, I am a Chosen Hero, and I will be operating here in Oak Village recently, I need to recruit some reliable subordinates, who is willing to join me in the glorious battle?" ”
Since these people in front of him were not Levi's subordinates, and he didn't have skills such as reconnaissance, he didn't know what kind of strength these people had, so he could only roughly judge by their appearance and the equipment they carried, so it was better to let them introduce themselves.
The drinkers looked at each other, and the last man with a long sword at his waist took the lead to stand up: "I am a second-order warrior, if the hero can give me a shield, then I will follow you, as long as there is enough bread and meat every day." ”
"I'm a Rank 1 spearman...
"I'm a Tier 0 militia...
After someone started, others also spoke. After all, they spend all day out mingling, fighting every day in exchange for a meager pay, and if they can fight with a hero, it will definitely be much better than mixing alone.
After careful inquiry, Levi finally selected two stronger ones from among them, and agreed with the warrior who spoke at the beginning, the warrior who claimed to be from the empire, that Levi would find a shield for him as soon as possible, the warrior nodded, and then sat back and continued drinking.
Levi didn't care either, because he had already received this task from the other party, so he was not worried that the other party would pay the bill.
The two new subordinates recruited are a 2nd-order swordsman, and the other is a 2nd-order halberd, neither of them has their own names, and they seem to be very silent, Levi secretly speculates that it should be because their intelligence level is relatively low, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it is okay, although they are not as good as Xiaobai, but it is also a powerful supplement to their current combat effectiveness.
The only thing that's a bit of a pity is that there are no hunters in the tavern, not even a Tier 1 one.
Levi still remembers the scene when he was at the entrance of the village, the hunter John led a group of hunters to disassemble the corpses of the beastmen, if there was a hunter in his team, there would definitely be additional gains after defeating the enemy, but now there is no way, so he can only postpone it for now.
Name: Halberd

Maintenance fee: 0.8 gold/week.
Attack 9, Defense 2, Health 35.
Skill:
Counter-charge, when an enemy is charging at a high speed, he will find that he or his mount is the first to be injured.
Mild Armor Piercing, the sharp halberd blade can cut through part of the enemy's armor, dealing more damage.
(The halberd was a long-handled, heavily bladed weapon, and when the halberders formed a thick line with their halberds, all the cavalry could only be deterred.) )
Name: Swordsman
Gender: Male
Faction: Order - Kingship - Knights of Bretonnia
Race: Human
Tier: 2nd Tier (Normal)
Maintenance fee: 1.5 gold/week.
Attack 13, Defense 2, Health 32.
Skill:
Flexible, after hard training, the swordsmen are faster than ordinary people in terms of attack speed and movement speed.
Beginner swordsmanship, after a long period of study, he has mastered the use of common sword weapons.
Swift, this swordsman is more agile than his normal counterpart, and his attack speed has been further increased.
(Although they don't have thick armor, with the swords in their hands, swordsmen are still active on battlefields large and small.) )
The attributes of the halberd soldier are decent in Levi's opinion, but he himself said that his weapon is a bit old, so his attack power is a little weaker than that of ordinary halberders, but he is also cheaper than ordinary halberders, so Levi directly accepted him.
And this swordsman is not ordinary, he claims to be stronger than ordinary swordsmen, because ordinary swordsmen only have two skills, one is flexible and one is a beginner swordsmanship, while he has an extra agility skill.
Although Levi was slightly skeptical about the attributes of the swordsman recruited from the barracks, the maintenance cost of this swordsman was higher than that of ordinary swordsmen, which also proved something from the side.
However, in order for Levi to fully believe in the other side, it is necessary to have a real battle and prove the opponent's strength in actual combat.
After the two new subordinates were full of food and drink, Levi packed a few more supplies, and after settling the bill, he looked at the tavern owner again: "I'll go out to clear the monsters in the wild later, do you have any tasks by the way?" ”
"Oh, of course, Hero, look here." The tavernkeeper quickly slipped into the bar, pulled out a stack of materials, and placed them in front of Levi.
Levi took a closer look and found that there were really not a few tasks, at least thirty or forty, large and small, but in general, they could be divided into the following types:
Donate materials, from all kinds of stone, wood and other materials to gold, equipment, and even troops, the danger is zero, and you can also exchange a lot of experience points and reputation rewards, but this is only chosen by players with special resources.
All sorts of trivial tasks, from finding lost things to searching for specific information, etc., but Levi didn't stay on these missions for long, most of which were less dangerous, but wasted time and didn't pay much.
The last one, and one that Levi prefers the most, is the clean-up mission.
Clearing out the various monsters in the wilderness near Oak Village will not only reward you with great experience points and reputation, but you will also be able to complete some donation quests along the way, as some donation quests require the drop of monsters in the wild.
Levi picks out a few low-level tasks and prepares to complete them. But before leaving, he thought of another question: "Why is the task of donating supplies to the village posted in the tavern?" ”
Hearing Levi's question, the tavern owner smiled, this question had already been asked to him by many people: "Because this is what Captain Cam meant, he was originally in charge." ”
Levi let out an "oh", turned around and left, he had been here for a long time, if he didn't hurry up, I'm afraid it would be dark, and he didn't have many arrows, and he needed to replenish it.
