Chapter 128: See the Tavern Again
"I finally saved your life, big brother, you invite your younger brother to eat at home tonight, this request is not too much, right?" Wu Minghao made a request in a hurry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This ......," Duke cried with a sad face, "brother, you also know the character of my mother-in-law, and she must not break my legs when she sees me leading people home to drink?" ”
"Then I'll only eat food, not drink." Wu Ming said with a smile.
"Hey, what's the matter with you? If you say no, it's not good, the captain still has patrol duties, and I don't have time to chat and joke with you, an idler! Duke saw that Wu Ming would not change his words no matter what, and in a hurry, he directly moved out of the identity of the security captain. Not wanting Wu Ming to be afraid of this, he just stepped forward with a smile on his face and whispered in front of Duke, "I haven't heard of where the eldest brother's family lives before, and now it seems that he won't live in the Hunter's Tavern, right?" Or do you live near a tavern? ”
The words shocked Duke's face pale, his eyes wandered, and he almost didn't dare to look at Wu Ming.
"Hah, the Hunter's Tavern...... I think about it, isn't it the tavern on the street, it's quite close...... Big brother, next time I have free time, I will definitely take you there for a drink......" Duke wanted to pretend to be confused, but was interrupted by Wu Ming waving his hand, "Don't pretend to be garlic." Wu Ming looked at him with sneering eyes, "Chen Wan'er, the proprietress of the Hunter Tavern, is the black-clothed assassin who fought with me today. If my guess is correct, you are also a member of the Assassin Order, and you have planned to get drunk and disturb the carriage in order to lure the assassin out of the carriage so that the guards and the man in the hat will not be able to help in time. ”
Duke was speechless, and his face instantly darkened.
After a while, Duke froze and looked Wu Ming up and down with a wary gaze.
"Are you a member of the Heavenly Party, or a member of the Divine Party?" There was a hint of tentative in his tone.
"I don't know what the Heavenly Party God Party is, I have no party or faction, but I just happened to have an intersection with your boss." Wu Ming scratched his head, "Speaking of which, I once received a favor from the proprietress." ”
Duke was silent, what had happened today was beyond his expectations.
"Are you alone in the town about the Hunter's Tavern and related matters?"
"Nature." Wu Ming nodded in acknowledgement.
Duke's face changed for a while, and he thought about it for a long time before he made a "please" gesture to Wu Ming, and said in a deep voice: "Little brother, don't blame the eldest brother for not giving you a chance, the matter has come to this, whether you want to eat this meal or not, you have to go with me." ”
How can Duke, who is serious at this time, look like a half-rotten drunkard? Look at his eyes and strong voice, he is clearly a high-ranking person in a city!
Wu Ming shrugged his shoulders, he already had the intention of exploring the bottom of the hunter's tavern, and he didn't care about the other party's threatening tone. Duke invited him to a banquet, and he had no reason to refuse.
Following the direction of the Hunter's Tavern in his memory, Wu Ming walked in front of him, and Duke hung tightly behind him. The two walked out of more than ten miles unhurriedly.
Ahead, the familiar storefront appeared in the eyes of the two, and the word "closed" painted with paint on the wooden forehead in front of the store was very eye-catching.
Wu Ming couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, once upon a time, he was still a traveler from another world who had just arrived here, and his understanding of this world was blank, and what happened in the Hunter Tavern after that was his first contact with this world. Although in his eyes now, the way of "contact" in the past was inappropriate, it is undeniable that in the Hunter's Tavern, he ate the first meal in this world and bought the first pot of gold.
If you are a time-traveler in a novel or film or television, and the theme of this novel, film and television is about "the king of the other world" or "the other world fights the world", then this tavern is not your own place of dragon prosperity?
Wu Mingzheng was laughing at his divergent thinking, and Duke behind him had already stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door of the tavern in a certain rhythm.
"Who?" Chen Wan'er's clear but deliberately suppressed voice came from inside the door.
"It's me, drunkard." Duke also replied in a low voice.
The wooden door creaked open, the threshold width was just enough for two people to enter, Wu Ming did not let one step in, and at the same time, he swept his eyes and took in the scene in the store.
After closing, the interior of the store looks pitch black, but in fact, a dimly lit kerosene lamp is lit on the wooden table in the middle, and under the light of the Yan Shan, the figures gather together, or whisper or bow their heads in contemplation.
When Wu Ming entered the door, more than a dozen black-clothed people sitting or standing in the store all looked at him. These assassins had already removed the veils on their faces, and the leader of the group was also taken off the black meniscus mask, they obviously did not expect that strangers would enter the store at this time, and they were defenseless, and their faces were all clearly seen by Wu Ming.
"Is that you?"
Chen Wan'er behind the door saw the face of the person who entered the door, and her expression suddenly changed greatly, she immediately closed the wooden door after Wu Ming entered the door, locked it with an iron chain, and at the same time did not forget to glare at Duke next to her.
"What's going on?" Colbert looked angrily at Duke, who was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, so he hurriedly told everything that had happened before.
While Duke described what had happened, Wu Ming still had the leisure to wander around the hall, observing the faces of the other assassins except for Colbert. Most of the people in the room were over thirty years old, and among them was an old man with gray temples, and in addition to that, there was a young man in his early twenties, and in addition to Chen Wan'er, the tavern owner, there was only a handsome black-haired girl in the crowd.
Wu Ming couldn't help but look at the girl twice, he would be like this not because of how beautiful the girl's face was, but because the girl's age was too young, and she was only a year or two older than Nicole. It's really embarrassing to start doing the business of life and death at such an age.
"What are you looking at?" Unexpectedly, the girl's hot temper was not inferior to Chen Wan'er, seeing that Wu Ming's eyes had been stopped on her, the girl's eyes were round, and she had an expression of "I will gouge out your eyes if you look at it again".
Wu Ming had no choice but to retract his gaze.
"Adam Gilbert." After listening to Duke's statement, the old man took out a brown animal skin scroll with dense images out of nowhere, placed it on the wooden table and opened it, and found one corner of it with an emerald green oval jade. At the moment when the jade touched the scroll surface, a neat dark green font suddenly appeared directly above the scroll surface, like a wonderful image emitted by a projector.
As far as Wu Ming knows, there is no such tool as a projector in this world, so this image can only be the product of a specific magic.
"The third adopted son of the Gilbert family, who grew up in the Whale Orphanage, his sister Lisa died three months ago, and he himself returned to the town after three months of disappearance, and signed a marriage contract with his daughter Carol." Colbert glanced at the green characters in the air, and in a hoarse voice, he gave him all the general information about Adam. These include Wu Ming's adventurer star rating, assessment results, and even his deeds of injuring Andrew on the first night of his return to town, all of which are recorded in the information.
Wu Ming was originally relatively relaxed, and his face gradually turned shocked when he listened to the old man's words, but the information reported by this person was too detailed, as if he had been following Wu Ming and personally recorded Wu Ming's words and deeds.
