Chapter 16: The Tavernkeeper's Commission

Rhodes walked into the inner room with the tavern owner, the sound disappeared on the other side of the door in an instant, and he casually glanced at the inner room, there was no magic aura around him, and the purpose of sound insulation was achieved through a special structure.

The tavernkeeper sneered and introduced Rhodes into his chair before hesitatingly saying, "I wonder if the warriors have heard of the bandits in the nearby hills." ”

Rhodes thought of the rumors he heard in the bazaar in the morning, so he nodded: "I've heard that the gang of bandits seems to have only risen recently, why, didn't Anluo City send troops to suppress the bandits?" I remember that the city lord of Anluo had set out in person to clear out the bandits in Storm Wind. ”

The tavern keeper shook his head with a wry smile, exuding a bitter smell all over his body.

"Recently, bandits have been rampant in the province of Storm, but the bandits in this place are not strong, and they are not taken into account by the city lord, so they sent the sheriff to clear them, but they have not succeeded in exterminating them several times, and the external saying is that there are too few bandits, and the mobility is too strong, and they often run away without a trace before the soldiers arrive, so several times, the sheriff will also collect troops and withdraw to Anluo City."

Rhodes' heart moved when he listened, and he finally knew what he had forgotten, and he felt that he had forgotten something in addition to strengthening his physical attributes during the day.

Because the original owner in order to ensure that he has a way out in the future, even if he becomes an adventurer, it will not be too miserable, so he has never spared no effort to collect intelligence on Anluo City, and this sheriff is one of the key objects of the original owner's intelligence collection.

This man is like many people who use power for personal gain, he is debt-free, greedy for merit and cunning, but this man is not like other people, he knows how to measure proportions, although he puts debts but never puts usury, he is greedy for merit but knows how to share it with others, and he never touches those pies that should not be touched.

This is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, how can such a cautious person who wants to become a nobleman let him go.

Because as long as he succeeds in entering Wang Lit and other colleges, he will become a figure that the other party cannot afford to offend, and if he still successfully graduates, he will inevitably suppress the other party and completely destroy the other party's mind of becoming a nobleman.

Now hearing the tavernkeeper's words, Rhodes immediately had a certain conjecture in his mind.

He naturally knew more about Anluo City than the tavern owner, and he also knew the caution of the Anluo City Lord, if this gang of bandits was really strong and couldn't be controlled, he would definitely not leave Anluo City with confidence.

But the truth is that the bandits have not been cleaned up yet.

Rod pretended to be casual and asked, "So recently, has that gang of bandits been going down the mountain to rob?" ”

The tavernkeeper's face appeared happy: "Xu is the sheriff really frightened the bandits, making them become frightened birds, there have been no major movements recently, and there has been no looting, but in the long run, it is not a way, the voice of the small shop has become a lot worse recently, and even the adventurers and mercenaries have been reduced, so I thought of asking the warriors to eliminate the harm." ”

Rhodes looked down in deep thought, the tavernkeeper's words were just in line with his conjecture, and he couldn't help but smile confidently.

The tavernkeeper misunderstood Rod's smile, thinking that Rhodes was sure to get rid of the bandits, and just waited for him to propose a reward, the tavernkeeper immediately took out a small package from the drawer, and the clanging sound of metal clashing attracted Rhodes' attention.

Seeing that Rhodes was attracted, the tavern owner opened the small package, revealing the gold, silver and copper coins inside: "Warrior, here are 2 gold, 50 silver and 32 copper, which is the income of the small shop for the whole of last year, as long as the warrior accepts the commission, this is the warrior's reward." ”

Rhodes secretly sighed that the tavern owner was willing, although it was unlikely that it would be a year's income, but 1 gold was enough for civilians to live in Anluo City for half a year to a year, which was already a lot of property.

Thinking that he still needed to raise money for his sister for the next year's tuition, and that it coincided with his own purpose, Rhodes would not be able to sleep well if he did not kill a thoughtful enemy like the sheriff.

"Okay, I'll take the boss's reward, if the thieves are really as the boss said, I will get rid of those thieves tonight, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."

Rod shook his arm and put on the armor of his right arm, as if inadvertently revealing the enchanted full body armor and the badge of the Royal Academy, the tavern keeper was stunned at first, and then his face turned to ecstasy, as if he had picked up a treasure.

"The warrior is actually a student of the Royal College of Higher Education, and the villain is really blind to gold and jade, in order to express his apology, the little old man will make up the remuneration to 3 gold, and I hope the adults will not dislike it."

The tavern owner looked at Rhodes with a smile on his face.

Who in the Kingdom of Sartre doesn't know that the students who are qualified to wear the badge are all students who graduated from the Royal College of Higher Education and were specially admitted by Wang Lit and other colleges, such students can be said to have a bright future, and the highest achievers have even directly become nobles.

Of course, the tavernkeeper's poisonous eyes saw through Rod's enchanted body armor is also an important reason, and the value of this enchanted body armor is far more than 3 gold.

Rod nodded profoundly, and was very satisfied with the boss's bid, so with the 10 gold obtained by the life and death fight, it was 13 gold, which was definitely a huge amount of money.

Rod got up to say goodbye, the tavern owner hurriedly sent out the door, Tom at the counter was gone, but Rod was not anxious, raised his hand and threw Xiao Er a copper coin, ignoring the surprised adventurers and mercenaries, and strode out of the tavern.

After walking out of the tavern, Rod sensed Tom's position, strode directly to the mountain forest opposite the tavern, turned left, and saw that Tom had turned into a prototype, and his paws held down a person, who had passed out in a coma, with no more than two or three attributes, and was completely a strong ordinary person.

"Master, I just saw this man sneakily observing his master, and then walked out of the tavern and went straight to this mountain, I am afraid that he is a thief who reported the news." This hill is what the tavern owner calls a bandit stronghold.

Rhodes nodded understandingly, and confirmed the conjecture in his heart, and sneered in his heart, sure enough, he was ambushed here, look at how you die this time, fornication bandits in this sensitive period, even if you don't die, don't want to become a nobleman.

It's just that I still need to confirm the information of the bandits, directly cover the skull with magic power, wake up this person, and use the method learned from the academy to extract a confession from this person, and the pain of magic invasion makes this person recruit according to the truth.

There are not many bandits on this mountain, but the leader is quite shrewd, it is said that not only is he a recruiter, but also has a connection with Anluo City, so that they do not have to hide in Tibet, this morning he suddenly received a task to find someone from Anluo City, this person is Rod.

After getting what he wanted, Rod rewarded the thief to Tom, less than three attributes, completely ignored by Rode, Tom, who had not eaten for a day, was hungry and swallowed the thief in three or two bites.

Sooner or later, you will have to pay back, and becoming a mountain bandit in this era when the rule of officials is still clear is equivalent to becoming a robber in the nineteenth century, and it will not be a good person in the future, only those who have committed a crime and are desperate will choose to go up the mountain.

Therefore there is no need for mercy.
