Chapter 10: The Giant's Tavern

The Giant Tavern is the liveliest bar in the South City, and it is also the largest hotel in the whole of Horncreek City. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info returned adventurers, wandering poets, knights and a large number of civilians, although there are a lot of fish and dragons here, but few people dare to make trouble here.

There is only one reason, the owner of the tavern is Byron Budia, the most powerful man in Horncreek City other than Kailot, he is not only a nobleman, but also one of the richest families in all of Cormier.

Budia has a near monopoly on Komyr's mineral trade, and even less than a third of the mines in official hands are owned by them. The current leader, Chestero, was an old man, but he was also an earl with a private estate, not to mention that he controlled such a large amount of mineral income, and almost all the nobles of Cormier were in awe of him.

Byron was Chestero's second son and owned the family business in and around Horncreek. The sheer man of Horncreek had a shrewd mind that had seen gold coins early on, and he had bought a large piece of land from Kailot, and within five years, nearly half of the storefronts in the southern part of Horncreek had been left with the shadow of Budia.

Although a large part of Horncreek City's annual taxes come from Byron, Kellot doesn't have a good impression of him, after all, the other party controls more than half of the commerce in his territory, which is basically equivalent to being pinched by others. Moreover, Chestero and he often argued at the regular meetings of the lords because of their disagreement, and whenever Byron's name was mentioned, Kelot's face was very unpleasant.

But then again, Byron's Giant's Tavern does have a unique feature, not only with fine wine from all over the world, but also with a nearby brothel and underground casino, which attracts a large number of men with extra money. Moreover, he had claimed that anyone who dared to make trouble here would not see the sun the next day, after all, most of the guests came to the tavern to relax, and no one was willing to even be afraid of drinking like the North City, and coupled with Budia's prestige in Cormier, few people dared to touch his bad head. Of course, it is not excluded that those who opposed Byron were already floating on the canal.

Today's Giant Tavern was surprisingly quiet, and everyone's eyes were unifiedly looking at the young man who had just pushed the door in, and his eyes were full of banter.

"Is Bob Benjie here?" Ignoring the sneering glances cast at him by those around him, Ryan spoke to the tavern guy who greeted him.

"Captain Bob? In, who are you? The young man looked warily at the sharp scimitar at Ryan's waist, and was a little speechless for a moment, but when Ryan threw a few silver coins, the latter quickly changed to a flattering smile, "He just went to the casino, and I haven't seen him come up yet, you can go down there and look for him." ”

The exchange of Ariel's universal currency is that 1 gold coin is equivalent to 100 silver coins, and 1 silver coin is worth 10 copper coins, which is almost worth a few days of this guy's salary.

Getting the message he needed, Ryan bypassed him and headed straight for the stairs.

"Hey! Look at you, little one, you're rich. A muscular man suddenly blocked Ryan's path, his greedy gaze fixed on the money bag at his waist.

"You don't know me?" Although Ryan's reputation stinks to the extreme in Horncreek City, he is also a nobleman no matter what, and in this era when royal power is at its peak, there are really not many people who dare to openly disrespect nobles.

"Are you famous?"

Glancing at the table he had just sat down, the few people sitting around looked like they were watching a good show, and Ryan immediately understood that those people were obviously taking this stupid big guy and Ryan for fun. In that case, don't blame me.

Crash! patted the money bag, the sound of the gold coins colliding was so pleasant, Ryan smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and looked at the excited strong man in front of him: "You are very short of money?" ”

"No more nonsense! Hurry up and get it... There were companions watching behind him, and the strong man obviously didn't want to talk to Ryan much, so he stretched out his hand to snatch it directly, but Ryan easily dodged it, and as he stopped moving, a cold light was firmly on the strong man's shoulder.

"If you want money, you can, I want you to do something for me." As Ryan's flat voice sounded, a shallow blood mark gradually appeared on the strong man's arm hanging in the air, and everyone present gasped one after another, but no one could see the speed of Ryan's knife!

"What, what's the matter?" The blade was no more than a millimeter away from his throat, and the strong man who also failed to see the other party's movements was frightened by success, and his trembling voice was deliberately pinched very thin by him, for fear that he would make Ryan's hands tremble because he spoke too hard.

"Follow me." Glancing at the waiter who had silently left for help, Ryan put away his scimitar and walked straight downstairs, not worrying at all about whether the strong man had followed him.

The underground casino was so crowded that it was impossible to see through the crowd of people around the tables. From time to time, gamblers who won a lot of money held a large bag of coins, excitedly squeezed out of the crowd, picked up the thinly dressed maid, left everyone with envious eyes and a scream, and rushed directly upstairs.

Ryan, who had just walked down, seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the heavy smell of sweat here, frowned tightly, and stopped at the door to watch.

"Get out of the way!" A drunkard who seemed to be too drunk bumped into Ryan's shoulder, and reached out impatiently to push him away, but the cold touch and tingling pain from his palm made him sober up instantly.

As if he didn't see that his scimitar had cut a bloody mark on the man's palm, Ryan stretched out his free other hand to the other party, with a flat and scary expression: "Take it!" ”

The drunkard swallowed, and the hand behind him slowly stretched out, just grabbing the money bag that had just arrived.

Grabbing the money bag he had stolen, Ryan withdrew his gaze and ignored the sweaty thief.

"Bring him over and tell him that the Blackwater are looking for him, and I'll be waiting for you at the toilet." Pointing to the back of an armored figure in the crowd, Ryan took out a gold coin and threw it into the hands of the strong man behind him, without giving him time to reply, and walked straight to the corner where no one was around.

Looking at the shiny gold coins in his hand and Ryan who was gradually moving away, the strong man's heart suddenly swelled with an urge to turn around and leave, but thinking of the other party's unpredictable strength and the money bag that was still bulging, he still did what Ryan said.

"TM's! Lost again! You must be out of the woods! Slamming the table, Bob Banjie yelled at the dealer. The latter was unmoved, still focusing on the dice in his hand: "You shouldn't be out of money, right?" ”

"Who said that! What Lao Tzu has is money! ”

"So do you bet or not? If you don't bet, I'll start. ”

"Bet on your MB! You must be cheating! Lao Tzu didn't win a single thing today! ”

Shaking his head, the dealer was obviously accustomed to this kind of insult, and did not take it to heart, no longer paying attention to the angry Bob, and shook the dice cup in his hand again amid the shouts of everyone.

"Hey, bro."

Bob was about to attack again, but he felt a sinking on his shoulders, and turned his head angrily to look at the big man who came behind him at some point: "Who are you?" ”

"Uh... was suddenly scolded, the strong man didn't react at once, and looked at the arrogant guard in front of him in a daze.

"! Sick, right? Don't bother me if it's okay, uncle, you must win! Seeing that the other party did not reply, Bob frowned, scolded twice, and stopped paying attention to him.

"Someone is looking for you." Struggling to suppress his anger, the strong man slapped him on the shoulder again.

"Who?"

"The Blackwaters."

“。。。” Bob, who originally wanted to scold, was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed puzzlement, and he muttered in a low voice as if talking to himself, "Why are those grandsons so fast?" ”

"Where?" Focusing on the man in front of him again, Bob still asked arrogantly.

"Follow me." With a wave of his hand, the strong man turned and walked towards Ryan's designated position.

"What about people?" Seeing that the man leading the way stopped, Bob looked around, and there was no familiar face nearby except for the disgusting smell, and he suddenly became a little puzzled.

Before the strong man could speak, a black figure quickly stepped forward from behind him, one hand stretched out from behind, covering his mouth and nose tightly, while the other was placed behind his waist, and a cold light in the middle made the hair stand upside down.

"Long time no see, Captain Bob."

"Woo!" Turning his head to look at the familiar side face, Bob was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't feel the presence of the scimitar behind his back, and kept waving his arms to break free from Ryan's control.

Burst! A soft sound was clearly caught by Bob's ears, and with a tingling pain, a small blade had pierced into his lower back, sensing a mortal threat, and the latter instantly became honest.

"You know what? Buy a murderer, and the object is still a nobleman, if you let your father or eldest sister know, you don't have to do it with me, and your head will be hung on the city wall the next day. Approaching Bob's shoulder, Ryan's voice was deliberately lowered so that no one but Bob could hear him.

As Ryan's voice fell, Bob's heart instantly lifted, and he didn't even dare to take a breath of air, I don't know if it was due to the influence of the airflow, his forehead was gradually covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Woo!"

"Of course, I believe that you are not voluntary, with your ability, even if you lend you ten guts, you will not dare." Still not letting go of the hand that was tightly covering Bob's mouth and nose, Ryan muttered to himself behind him.

"Let me guess, there are indeed a lot of people in Horncreek City who wish I was dead, but there are only a few people who can mobilize the city guard. Una? With her power, it would be an insult to her identity to do things with someone like you. ”

Bob quickly turned red as his airway was blocked, and Ryan's words made him miraculously pale.

"What did Lukka give you?"
