"Ale at Table 2!"

A middle-aged dwarf with a bearded face slapped four glasses of ale on the humble bar, and a young dwarf picked up the ale and took it to a table not far away.

"The wolf's teeth were only a little bit away from me, just a little bit further...... One click can bite my neck! At the wine table, four down-and-out warriors who looked like mercenaries were shouting loudly about their exploits.

The dwarven boss didn't think there was anything to brag about. As a tavernkeeper, this kind of human dwarf has seen too much. I don't know where to get a sword, I feel like I'm a warrior, and then I start pretending to be like a legendary hero in an adventure story the next moment. The dwarven boss is not at all interested in the mercenary braggadocio, but the young dwarf is interested.

After serving the ale, the dwarf stood behind a few of the down-and-out mercenaries, listening to their nonsense with curiosity on their faces.

At that moment, the bell at the door rang softly, and with a slightly chilly wind, two travelers walked in.

The first person to walk in was a good-looking teenager. The leather armor on the young man's body looked a little shabby, with many battle scars on it, and he carried an emerald green magic bow on his back, and his equipment looked a bit like a mercenary, but he didn't have the ferocity of a mercenary.

And behind the boy was a woman, a woman who was hidden in a cloak and couldn't see her face clearly.

The moment he saw that woman, the dwarf boss felt a palpitation!

That woman is dangerous!

Very dangerous!

The dwarven instinct sounded the alarm.

Although Chablis is a small village, it is on the main road to the Redstone Fortress, and caravans and mercenaries often pass by, and if you don't have a good eye, you can't run a tavern.

The tavern owner is still a little confident in his eyesight. This woman is the object that she will never provoke! The smell of blood on her body was even stronger than those veterans in the castle! But it shouldn't be tight, this kind of skill generally won't be bad.

Of course, even if such a master wants to repay the debt, the dwarf boss can only admit it. However, the dwarf boss can also see this aspect, what if he can't beat the other party, let the other party eat for nothing? It's time to treat and make friends.

"A twin standard room." Green walked to the front of the counter and placed a gold coin on the counter, "Let's settle the bill together when we go." ”

Looking at the gold coins on the counter, the dwarven boss was overjoyed. It's actually a southern gold coin, and it's really a big customer!

The northern kingdom of Northbord had a low gold production, so the standard currency of the Kingdom of Northbord was copper and silver, and no gold coins were used. Gold coins were usually used only by the big people who did business with the South, which produced much more gold than in the North.

The dwarf picked up the coin, observed the pattern, and licked it with his tongue. Counterfeit gold coins can fool the eyes of halflings, but they can't fool the tongues of dwarves!

"This taste...... It is the gold coin of the Kingdom of Palomea. Is it possible at the exchange rate of thirteen and two-thirds of a carter? ”

"Yes." Green sat down in a chair at the bar, "By the way, bring me two servings." ”

"How about two loach steak sets?" The Dwarven Boss spoke, "The loach fish that was just delivered from the Redstone Fortress this morning is still fresh. ”

"Okay."

The dwarven boss instructs the kitchen to prepare the food, and Green takes the opportunity to spark a conversation with the tavernkeeper.

"Has anything special happened lately?"

"Recently, the monsters in the north suddenly changed their temperament for some reason, and they didn't go south, which made the lords of the three northern fortresses suspicious, and suddenly began to recruit a large number of mercenaries." The dwarven boss gestured to a table of guests not far away, "For example, they're going to try their luck at the Redstone Fortress." ”

Green: "Isn't it a good thing that monsters don't attack?" ”

Dwarven Boss: "But if you don't know why, it's a little unsettling." ”

Green raised his eyebrows: "Fear comes from the unknown. ”

"That's true." The dwarven boss nodded, "If you don't figure out why, I'm afraid those big guys won't be able to sleep well." ”

"So they're going to let the mercenaries explore the way?"

"Yes."

"Hmm...... Do you know what's really going on in the north? ”

"I'm just an ordinary tavernkeeper, how could I possibly know such a thing?" The tavernkeeper chuckled, "But I've heard some interesting rumors. ”

"Oh? What kind of rumors? ”

The dwarven boss looked around and lowered his voice: "I heard that all this is because of the appearance of intelligent monsters in the Miracle Canyon that can control other monsters!" ”

"Wisdom monsters?" Green's heart moved, and he quietly slipped a silver coin over, "Tell me more about it." ”

The dwarven boss put the silver in his pocket: "It is said that the scouts once conducted a reconnaissance across the Tara River, and found that the monsters no longer guarded the lair, but consciously began to migrate, and it seems that there is a presence similar to that of a commander. ”

"Commander? What does it look like? ”

"I don't know. You might want to check out the Redstone Fortress. ”

In the midst of small talk, food was served.

After a simple late lunch, Green left the tavern with Chikage and ran out into the streets.

Perhaps in order to reduce the damage caused by the monsters, the dwellings of Chablis are scattered, and there is a fortified castle on a hill not far away. There are no walls outside the village, scattered buildings around the castle, and when the red moon rises, the villagers will hide in the castle or basement to hide from the monsters and wait for the red moon to disappear.

There is a square in the village. Green followed the tavernkeeper's instructions and found an exchange next to the plaza that looked like an ordinary house.

"Chablis grocery?" Green looked up at the exchange's sign, pushed open the door, and walked inside.

Although it looks like an ordinary house from the outside, inside it is a grocery store, and a young girl in a white dress with long burgundy hair is behind the counter holding a ledger and calculating something.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl raised her head: "Huh? A face I've never seen before. ”

"Hello, I've heard that the village is in charge of the dealings with the outside world."

"Is it a merchant?" The girl stood up and trotted over to Green, staring into Green's eyes, "I'm Xia Lili, the price trader in the village. ”

The girl's pale blue pupils reflected Green's figure, and the smile on the corner of her mouth carried a hint of naughtiness and cunning. From Green's point of view, you can see the girl's beautiful collarbone.
