012 Tavern Turmoil
Shortly after the discovery of the mysterious cave and blood array in the Sunset Mountains, the Adventurers' Guild's special investigation team decided to return to the royal capital. The relevant extracted evidence has been handed over to the hunters of the Adventurer's Guild and sent back to the Kaman Adventurer's Branch, which will be passed on to the Manning Association for further analysis through the Adventurer's Guild's internal channels. After spending the night at the Caster Manor, the members of the team returned to the capital of Kaman at the same time.
Koster didn't stay long in the manor either. came back and rested for the night, and then was pulled in front of Lolita and Phaeda by Lena bouncing around. Looking at the delighted Lina, Kerst felt inexplicable. Seeing her master return safely from an adventure, shouldn't Lena be moved to tears, and what does this mean?
Also snickering was the always steady Lolita, who patiently explained to Kerst despite the ecstatic Lena and Feida.
It turned out that the time was close to the annual "Double Day Festival" on the mainland. "Sojitz Festival" is a traditional festival on the continent that celebrates the warmth of daylight brought to the continent by the red sun and the blue sun, and people also appreciate the abundant harvest that Sojiri brings to the continent's crops and pray for good weather in the coming year.
At this time, various countries on the mainland will hold grand celebrations, and as a member of the commercially developed nine-nation business alliance, Kaman is known for its warm atmosphere.
On the eve of this festival, Lina, who had been holding back in the manor, hoped to go to the Kaman King's capital to be lively, and Feida and Lolita, who were tirelessly persuaded by Lina, also decided to go together. At this time, Kerst ventured back, and the three of them who had the backbone of the backbone were naturally overjoyed.
The younger Lena and Feida were all smiles on their faces, and they couldn't wait to change into their festive costumes and set off immediately. Even Lolita is eager to give it a try. Festivals always bring a cheerful atmosphere.
"Miss Lolita, what about your safety?" Kerst hesitated.
"Master Koster don't have to worry, we're just going to the royal capital to buy some daily necessities, clothes, and things for girls. Taking a carriage back and forth on the road, a little camouflage when traveling, should not be a big problem. ”
"Oh well. Kerst thought for a moment and asked again, "Lolita, do you have enough gold on you, I'll ask Steward Drew to give you some more, and you can go get some of them too." ”
"Oh yes, long live the young master. Hearing what Kerst said, Lena jumped up happily, threw herself into the young master's arms, hugged Chester's face, and kissed him violently. Lolita next to her was dumbfounded, she didn't expect Liana to be so enthusiastic, Feida didn't say anything, just lowered her head, but the crimson cheeks still betrayed her.
So everyone didn't make any more preparations. Early the next morning, the three of them got into a carriage, and Kerst rode his little red horse to the front. After the winter wind and snow, the red sun hung lazily in the sky, exuding the unique heat of winter, and a group of several people swayed along the avenue towards the capital of the Kaman king.
Kaman Royal Capital, the Kaman branch of the Adventurers' Guild. "My lord has had a good trip, and I'm here to see you off on behalf of Duke Carman's family. It was Xiao Mu who spoke, and I saw Xiao Mu wearing a full set of aristocratic costumes, standing in the lobby of the adventurer's branch, followed by two burly guards.
Green, the chief hunter of the Adventurers' Guild, was walking out surrounded by several elders of the Kaman Branch. This time the investigation had made significant progress, and after a brief break at the Carman chapter, Green was to return to Manning City immediately. The elders of the Kaman branch were about to bid farewell to Green, and Xiao Mu also came on behalf of Duke Kaman, accompanied by the dispatch team of Setie and Kuigang.
"This time, I would like to thank you Duke Kaman for your strong support, Master Mu, and greet Lord Duke and your sister on my behalf. Green patted Xiao Mu on the shoulder, "I won't say much about the rest, I will have the opportunity to come to Manning City again in the future, even if you come to me." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, I will bother you, haha. ”
After saying that, Green went out with his own guard. This also marked the official end of the work of the special investigation team organized by the Adventurers' Guild, and the personnel involved were restored to their original identities, Xiao Mu was still the noble son of Kaman, Setie was still a San Jose diplomat, and Quigang was still a warrior of Desik. Xiao Mu squeezed his eyes at Saitie and Kui Gang, "Both, the work is over, I'll take you to feel our Kaman." ”
Setie didn't say much, but Kui Gang was interested, and he smiled, "Xiao Mu, do you know what I like to feel?"
Xiao Mu also smiled, then you underestimate me, just rest assured to come with me!
"Hey!" A large glass of tequila went down, Kui Gang wiped his mouth, and slammed the wooden wine glass on the wine table, "Peng" sounded, and the other wine glasses on the table jumped up suddenly, "It's really cool! Xiao Mu, you Kaman, nothing else, just this wine, that's really good!" Kui Gang, who was excited, spewed wine foam all over his mouth, laughing. Next to Setie and Xiao Mu, there were more Sven, and one of them took a small glass of tequila and tasted it slowly.
As a commercial country, Kaman produces a variety of specialty products, among which the original tequila is sold in various countries of the continent.
Tequila, a strong liquor made from wheat, has a spicy taste but a sweet aftertaste when drunk. Poured in a glass cup, crystal clear with a little golden light, both taste and color are very attractive.
In the northern Desik Empire, due to the cold climate, tequila is the best tool to keep out the cold, so the soldiers of Desik like to taste tequila when they are on duty. However, because Desik was so far away from Kaman, the price of a bottle of tequila shipped to Desik actually rose to one gold coin (Note 1).
At this time, all the wine Kui had just drunk was counted on Xiao Mu's head, so he naturally opened his belly and drank violently, and the wine glass was directly replaced from a crystal glass glass to a wooden wine glass, and tequila was poured into his stomach.
Setie also drank a lot, but unlike Xiao Mu, a native of Kaman, and Kui Gang, who looked like an alcoholic, Setie was a little overwhelmed by alcohol, and her face was slightly red. Setie is a sorceress from the San Jose Empire, in her thirties, quite pretty, with blonde hair and green pupils typical of San Jose, an exotic look. After drinking, she exudes the charm of a mature woman.
Xiao Mu and Kui Gang didn't particularly care, but the rest of the people in the tavern noticed Setie.
"Whew" drank a small glass of tequila Setie, sticking out his tongue slightly, this wine really makes people can't stop, although it has been a little hot, but it is really delicious. Setie, who untied her collar, looked a little confused.
Kui Gang next to him was about to lie on the table, but Xiao Mu was still refreshed and leisurely. However, at this time, a discordant voice came from the side, "This eldest sister is really good-looking, why don't you have a drink with my brother!"
"Huh?" Setie was still awake at this time, and suddenly heard the flirtatious teasing of someone next to her, and turned around angrily. A strong man from Carman was standing behind him, fat, with a face full of flesh and a bare head, and he had drunk too much wine and his eyes were full of Venus, and he looked at Setie's collar and saliva was already dripping.
Setie smiled and ignored the man. The fat man who was ignored was probably not sober from drinking, and seeing that no one cared about his words, he reached out and put his hand on Setie's shoulder in a hurry, and muttered indistinctly, "Come on, just have a drink with me." Setie, who was touched on the shoulder for no reason, had a bright eye, reached out and flicked the fat man's palm, only to see that the fat man seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and jumped up at once, "Ah, it hurts!"
As a female magician, Setie's temper will not be too good after being debugged by strangers, so she directly starts a hand of magic and teaches the fat man a small lesson.
The fat man, who was attacked by magic, was annoyed and angry, "Damn the little girl's skin, see that I don't tear you." "This person is supposed to be a ruffian hooligan who wanders in the capital of the Kaman king, who makes a living by fighting and brawling all year round, and this will directly beckon his companions to rush over and try to control Setie. Xiao Mu couldn't stand idly by, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and at the same time gave the guard sitting at the door a look.
However, it was too late to say that it was too late, and Kui Gang, who was still lying on the table just now, stood up at some point, raised his fist the size of a wine jar, and punched the fat man fiercely. Seeing that his companions were at a loss, the fat man's accomplices refused to give up, and rushed up to fight with Kuigang.
Poor Kui Gang has a lot of skills, he has drunk too much tequila at this time, and he can't play half of the ten cost, and a group of people are fighting together, but Xiao Mu and Sei can't help anything. In the chaos, I don't know who it was, a punch hit Kui Gang in the face, Kui Gang fell out with "Peng", slammed on the wall of the tavern, and held the wine table next to him, but he didn't expect the inertia to be too great, and even the people with the table fell down, bringing down the two black-clothed people next to the wine table.
The two black-clothed men at the wine table got up in embarrassment, and Kui Gang also got up from the ground, and couldn't help but apologize to the two who were accidentally hurt by the pond fish. However, the outstretched hands froze instantly, and Kui Gang stared at the hands that were held by himself, the clean and slender pale hands, looked at them carefully suspiciously, and then looked up at the faces of the two.
"Kui Gang, be careful!" Xiao Mu's exclamation came from behind him, Kui Gang's mind couldn't turn around, and there was only one sentence in his mind that kept ringing and ringing, "It's them!" Immediately after that, Kui Gang felt a sharp pain in his heart, and when he looked down, another man in black stabbed a sharp knife into his heart from the side.
"Ahh The one who wielded the knife was limp and holding a blood-dripping sharp knife, his eyes were red and he was panting heavily.
