After explaining everything that came to mind, Marlon took Eliya and her little sister on the return journey.

Green stayed for the time being, and he still had a lot of work to do.

John also followed Marlon back.

Unlike when they came, there were a lot fewer troops on the return trip. There were only a few thousand people left in the vast army of tens of thousands.

did not go back to Zhongzhou City directly, Ma Long took people to several other selected locations.

In the name of inspection, in reality it is only to cover up the peculiarities of the surrounding basin.

There are fewer troops coming back, and he is not afraid of being seen by others, after all, there are scouts on the periphery at any time, and even if there are spies, it is not easy to get close, and it is even more difficult to find any practical problems.

Back in Zhongzhou City, it is already the second half of the year.

It took a few days to deal with the piled up of affairs.

While most of the power is decentralized, Malone is not without nothing.

When his subordinates have dealt with things, he always has to listen to the report, how to deal with it, when to deal with it, whether it has been done according to the procedure, what the consequences are, etc., and so on, he also needs to understand.

Moreover, there are other documents that must be signed and sealed by the king himself before they can be validated.

Some of the problems had been piling up for a while and urgently needed to be dealt with by him personally.

After being busy and accompanying his family for a while, Ma Long was ready to set off again, this time to the north.

However, he didn't walk, but went directly through the teleportation array to reach Tucheng.

The dwarven tavern is very lively.

Even if the border between Seris and Peiyan is tense, and even the volume of dwarve-to-human transactions has gradually decreased during this time, it has not affected the noisy atmosphere here.

For adventurers and mercenaries, who are drunk and drunk today, the confrontation at the national level does not have much impact on them.

When Marlon changed into civilian clothes and came here, it was already evening, and it was a good time to get drunk.

As soon as he entered, he saw Goldbeard sitting at his special table near the bar, with a huge bamboo wine glass in front of him.

The drinkers only felt that the light was dim, but a person came in at the door.

Most of them seem to be unconscious, and they don't bother to raise their heads, but some people turn their heads to look, are they acquaintances?

When I saw Ma Long, I couldn't help but be stunned, I shouldn't have come to this kind of place with such a dress.

Even if he is wearing casual clothes, Ma Long's temperament that has been cultivated in a high position for a long time is not comparable to ordinary people, not to mention that a dress that gives people an unusual feeling in terms of material and design.

Coming here is like standing out from the crowd!

Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, those who had not paid attention at first also turned their heads, and their eyes kept scanning, looking for the source of the change.

Soon found Ma Long, it was too conspicuous!

"Who's that?" Some drinkers whispered to the people around them.

"Shh......h

It just so happened that the person next to him had seen Ma Long.

He put his index finger to his lips and whispered, "That's the king!" ”

"Which king?"

The drinker was obviously not very sober, business was good today, he had made a lot of money, and he had already drunk two large glasses earlier.

Even if it's a low-alcohol drink, it's a bit drunk.

"This is Seris!" His companion whispered.

"Seris, of course I know it's Seris, Seris......" The drunkard woke up, a spirit, he knew who the man was.

Ma Long happened to pass by the wine table, listened to a few people discussing himself, and couldn't help but look down.

He ...... Your Majesty...... I don't hear you, did I say anything offensive? The drinker slapped himself in the face and came to his senses.

I heard that King Seris is terrible, even the nobles can kill if they want, and they can be arrested if they want, as a stateless person from outside, will he be ......

With a shudder, he didn't dare to think about it.

If he hadn't heard that there was a lot of money to be made here, he wouldn't have come!

Of course, I didn't regret it after I came, there are simply too many opportunities here, as long as you are diligent, you can earn a lot of copper coins and even silver coins in your pocket.

But now, he felt that he regretted it, why did the king of Seris quietly run to a tavern?

Didn't you hear someone say a few days ago that he was in the south, didn't he need time to travel?

"Don't worry, you didn't say anything wrong!" The companion next to him comforted that as a naturalized local, he still knew the true deeds of the king.

"Your Majesty is not bad to us little people......"

Malone didn't listen carefully to the conversations of these drinkers, but his keen ears still gained a lot of information, and he knew that many people recognized him.

Since the founding ceremony and the military parade, many people have seen his face, and it is not surprising that such a person exists in this wine pipe.

The others spotted Ma Long, and the goldenbeard who was facing the gate naturally also saw it.

However, he didn't say anything, and it wasn't until Marlon sat down that he reached out and snapped his fingers to ask the bartender to bring him a glass of ale.

"You're here anyway!"

Listening to his slightly dull tone, Ma Long had a sense of seeing martial arts in his previous life, and replied in a deep voice: "I'm here!" ”

Seeing that the other party didn't react, he asked again: "Should the next sentence say, 'You shouldn't come'?" ”

The dwarf was stunned, but he didn't understand the stalk, and he didn't know what it meant.

Marlon shook his head, he didn't explain, if he didn't know, he didn't know, if he knew, he might have to be frightened.

But this kind of work makes my heart a lot easier.

Picking up the ale wine, he lightly touched the bamboo cup in Goldbeard's hand to make a muffled sound, and then each took a sip.

Marlon just tasted the taste and moistened his throat, even if it was a shallow taste, the dwarf poured it down.

"That's all you drink?" Looking at the liquid surface that only fell a small part of the cup on the other side, the dwarf was dissatisfied.

"We'll have to talk about things later, drink less. Besides, if I drink less, you can drink more. ”

Ma Long is not joking, he has really heard people say that most of the money made by the tavern of Goldbeard goes into his stomach.

It's drunk, and it's almost to the point where you can't make ends meet.

"I'll invite you to drink!" The dwarf knew what he was saying, but he pretended not to care about his face.

"Are you sure?" Malone showed a smiling expression.

"Forehead...... Thinking of the amount of alcohol that Malone had shown in the dwarf clan at the beginning, Goldbeard hesitated and remedied: "You are free! ”

"Hehe......" Ma Long chuckled, and took over the matter.

"It's really good to come to you this time."

Looking at the surrounding drinkers who glanced here from time to time, Goldbeard got up and invited, "Let's talk inside." "During the action, I didn't forget to hold the wine glass in my hand.

"Hmm!" Ma Long nodded, it is really inconvenient to talk about things here.

Inside, where the dwarves lived and cellared, Malone saw two beds.

"Where's Jimmy?" He thought of his dwarven apprentice.

"Went to school." Goldbeard replied, "The newly opened Tucheng Academy." ”

"That's a good thing!"

It's better to go to school than to help out in the tavern every day.
