340, draw a knife at the bar, read the newspaper in the private room

There are all kinds of people in the hotel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are militiamen who are missing half-pulled ears, and there are businessmen who have broken an arm. There is no Transferee insignia for them to fully recover from their injuries upon leveling up, and the Tavern is populated with people who have been wounded or even disabled in various battles.

And, of course, the mercenaries who can't wash off their tired faces with aged ale. Because they are not as strong as the job changers and are slow to level up, they are often limited to serving in a colony for most of their lives, and then saving enough gold to buy a merchant ship in a port or open a shop in a commercial district before they grow old.

Lou Gayne was a merchant city, and her prosperity came from merchant ships that had crossed the seas from Curast and caravans from Canduras over the desert. In a city where even food needs to be imported in large quantities, owning merchant ships and shops is a good retirement option. Provided that they don't lose their lives in battle.

However, this pearl city in the desert is only staffed by job changers. They are stronger, level up faster, and can often travel to the next area in a matter of months to a year. By the time they got their ranks and came back again, they were already officers of one of the strongholds.

However, there are exceptions to all this. The "Bands of Thieves" are one such exception.

That's why there is a hotel under the name of Aegis. Here, as long as you have money, you can still buy everything you want. Say it's a hotel, not a black market!

"Hi, stranger!" The bartender scooped a glass of rye straight from the cask next to him, using the same oak glass that had just been removed from the other tables.

"If I were you, I wouldn't pee my eyes out from under my long bangs and wide hood!" The bartender pretended to wipe the bar with the colorful rag and paced to Ling Dan's side, "Unless your eyes are as sharp as an assassin's fist and sword, don't look over there." ”

A mouthy but kind bartender, which is rare in a bar anywhere.

"I don't want this, get me a glass of ice wine!" While Ling Dan pushed the ale glass over, he quietly stuffed a gold coin under the rag: "Oh? Perhaps, what stories can I hear from you that make you so cautious? ”

The bartender almost let the gold coin peek out of the hole in the rag as he pulled the rag down, and quickly pressed the golden little ancestor with the ale glass he held in his other hand. For this, he almost spilled a small half cup of rye juice. Not to mention the wine stains on the bar, it also startled the people drinking in the hotel!

"Hey, I said Banki, if you don't want that glass of ale, you can bring it to my old chauvin's table, don't stain the guest's clothes!" If you look down on people, you will take rye wine out to entertain guests, and if they are not happy, what will you do to be prestigious? Be careful, don't end up provoking this young gentleman to pull out a dagger and cut off your little finger! ”

The guest who called himself Old Chauvin was a regular here, rubbing a red rosacea while enjoying the whistles of the other drinkers around him. It seems that it is a great honor to be able to say two words in such a hotel. Ling Dan noticed that under one of his trousers, there was only a wooden stick.

"Shut your foul mouth for me, Chauvin! No more nonsense, I'll throw you in the stinking gutter outside the door when you're drunk tonight! Don't forget, who agreed to give you credit for last month's drinks! ”

The bartender Ban Ki's face was a little red, and he didn't know if he was a little angry because he was ridiculed by the old chauvin, or a little excited because he saw the gold coin.

While pretending to wipe the floor with a rag, the bartender Ban Kee carefully hid the gold coin in the compartment between the boot and the insole. After doing all this covertly, Ban Ki breathed a sigh of relief. After making sure that no one around him noticed the luster of the gold coin, Ban Ji gave Ling Dan a glass of ice wine in a glass.

Although the glass was a little notched, and there was still some brown wine dirt at the bottom of the glass, Ling Dan finally saw some traces of cleaning from the wall of the glass, and finally picked up the cup and took a sip gently. This is probably the best cup in the lobby.

Ban Ji pretended to serve ice cubes for Ling Dan, leaned over the bar and said, "There are a few aristocratic turnaround lords who seem to have been suffocating in distant oases and lost cities recently, not only losing their equipment, but also messing up the mission, and losing a lot of money. It is said that these are the descendants of the eldest prince Ewing. Even the best of them didn't make it to victory, really...... Ahem, in the past two days, they have always been in the tavern to fight with these militiamen and mercenaries who are not as good as them, because they, we have already smashed several tables here. ”

Ban Ji pouted into the corner, looking helpless: "You really didn't pick a good day to come to our Lu Gaoin, young young man. Since that sudden berserk mummy siege of the city, you also know that the monsters outside have been making a lot of noise recently, and there are fewer and fewer people who dare to go out of the city to run merchants in the distant oasis, and the price of the jade fruit wine that is a specialty of the oasis has almost doubled. Alas, if this continues, I'm afraid our hotel will have to get some weird 'tequila' from the jungles of Kegistan in the harbor area. It's not me who speaks, it's so much worse than the fruit wine in our desert! ”

"Oh? It's not been peaceful in the desert lately? Tell me what you know. Ling Dan drank the emerald green jade fruit wine in the cup, pretended to call for another glass, and threw a few gold coins from between his fingers under the bar.

In order to prevent the gold coins from colliding, Ban Ji hurriedly wrapped a rag around him. This time he was smart and replaced it with a new rag with no holes. "Come, little man, try the 'desert pearls' treasured by our store! This is the longest year in stock! His origin can even be traced back to the history of the big boss behind us who ran rampant in the desert in the early years! Ahem, you haven't heard anything about the big boss, drink it quickly, but don't let our store manager see it. This wine is not usually taken out. As for what you want to inquire about...... Hey! I just happen to have a new battle report! ”

Ling Dan was a little surprised. War reports are such things as military intelligence and should never be circulated on the market. But it is not too unusual to think that the big boss behind them was once a bandit leader, and that he could buy these things in the inn under his name.

"Here's a battle report." Ling Dan said lightly and took out a bag of gold coins.

But this sentence made the faces of several people drinking on the side unbearable. Because in the latest official battle report, it is remembered that the news of the defeat of their team of transferred people is recorded. If Ling Dan saw it and said a few more words, wouldn't it be to ...... their face

"Hey, Oriental-faced kid! The latest battle report is not something you can read! First, a strong man wearing a bear scalp helmet walked over with the sound of clanging footsteps, "Don't make yourself uncomfortable. After speaking, his big furry hand grabbed Ling Dan's left hand that took out the money bag.

"Bear druid? Is it taking the power route? "Ling Dan didn't care about this big hand, no matter how high the strength value was, in front of Ling Dan, a power-type hero, it was not worth mentioning. You must know that Ling Dan has added all the free attribute points of these twenty or so levels to his strength. As long as he vomited the strength on his arm, and two more such bear-based druids, he didn't want to catch Ling Dan's hand.

However, Ban Ji, the bartender over there, did not take Ling Dan's money bag at this time, and pretended to use a dirty rag to start wiping the wine glass. While wiping, he looked at the big hand that was grabbing Ling Dan.

Ling Dan understood what he meant. "It seems that if you don't make a move today, you won't be able to get this battle report. Sure enough, Lu Gaoyin is also a place where the strong are respected, and if you have money, you may not be able to buy what you want. ”

It was too late, but it was too soon, and the big furry hand was already stuck on Ling Dan's wrist like an iron tong. "I bought the war report, and when I went to the desert, a little white face like you with fine skin and tender flesh also gave his life in vain. If you have the money to buy war reports, why don't you give this money to Uncle Darlow and I will buy some good wine to drink! If I'm happy, uncle, maybe we might even consider taking you with us the next time we go out on a mission on behalf of the Great Prince!" ”

"Hmph." The only thing that answered him was Ling Dan's sneer, "What a bullshit prince, what a bullshit salamander." ”

"What did you say!" Seeing Ling Dan's disrespectful words, Darlo immediately increased the strength in his hand, and his other hand immediately pinched Ling Dan's other hand. And Ling Dan's hand on the bar almost didn't move, as if it had been given to Darlow to catch.

Darlow smiled sinisterly. With a bear druid with super high strength like him, he eats with super high physique and strength. Although physique is his main attribute, his strength is also not bad. As the second main striker in the team, he likes to tear monsters in half with super high strength!

With his shoulders exerting force and his back tense, everyone thought that Ling Dan was going to have his arms torn off in the next second!

However, five seconds passed, and Ling Dan didn't have a, and there was still a faint sneer on his face. On the contrary, Darlow, who used his strength to eat, even had beads of sweat the size of beans on his dark forehead!

Darlow's teammates all noticed that something was wrong and immediately walked this way. But Ling Dan, who had been sneering, moved at this time!

Zheng! Zheng!

The shield blade in Ling Dan's left hand and the gauntlet in his right hand activated at the same time! As soon as Ling Dan's wrist flipped, Darlow couldn't hold Ling Dan's wrist anymore. The sharp sword and sharp claws suddenly popped out, and they even took advantage of the situation to break Darlow's tesuji!

"Darlow!" Darlow's teammates didn't expect Ling Dan's idea to be so strong, and immediately took out their weapons to attack. However, after Ling Dan kicked Darlow, the long knife to kill the wolf was already out of its sheath. With a slight click of the tip of the knife, the "disarming" skill was launched, and the big sword of the first person was picked off!

In the next moment, the wolf turned around half a circle, and the tip of the knife scratched one of Darlow's eyes, and then cut off one of his ears, and put it on Darlow's neck: "Noise! ”

The whole process, in less than a second.

After a few stabs, there was silence.

That Darlow was picked off by Ling Dan and broke his tendons, squinted and lost his ears, and he couldn't recover until the next upgrade. However, a bear druid whose hand tendon has been broken, who else will team up with him to upgrade?

"Wine bag rice bag." Ling Dan flew up and kicked Darlow.

"I'm going to kill you!" A strong, black-faced man who seemed to be on good terms with Darlow pulled out a mace and attacked Ling Dan.

And in the next second, an obese body stood between Ling Dan and the group of job transfers.

"Store manager!" Ban Ki was shocked! I didn't expect that a bar fight that didn't look so serious would actually let my store manager go on the road!

This fat man seems to have absolute majesty here, and his appearance made the group of former workers not say a word, but just carried Darlow away. Ling Dan behind him also silently put away the long knife. "This store manager is not simple." The reason why the fat store manager appeared between Ling Dan and Darlo in an instant just now was because he used the Elemental Mage's lightning skill "Teleportation". A person with such superb skills can be a mere innkeeper here?

After politely inviting Ling Dan to the inner hall, the innkeeper with a wrinkled face and fat head and big ears presented a newly released battle report on a silver plate padded with oriental silk. And Ling Dan was too lazy to pour out the gold coins, so he directly threw his hand and gave a broken gem, causing the store manager to nod his head, and once again offered a bottle of 'Desert Pearl' wine and a plate of chilled fruit, plus a small bucket of ice cubes.

This is the treatment of the strong!

Ling Dan didn't know who he was, but the mercenaries did. This fat man, but he was one of the best thugs under Aegis back then! The men and monsters who died at his hands were piled up as high and as wide as the northern walls of Ru Gain!

The fat store manager is undoubtedly a knowledgeable person. Ling Dan's weird left and right hand "gloves" and miraculous knife skills just now made this fat store manager, who rarely appeared, come out. The fat store manager knew that Ling Dan was by no means an ordinary person. And when facing these extraordinary people, nodding and bowing is the best way.

"As for dignity or something, how many gems are it worth?" The fat store manager who washed his hands from the robber's golden basin swept the shattered-grade gem in his hand, "I don't care who you are, anyway, it's still a gem from the kindness!" ”

In this hot desert city, ice is a bargain for wine. There are often some high-end hotel owners who will go to hire ice who knows ice skills and make some ice cubes to store. The unhappiness just now seems to have vanished. Eating chilled fruits and drinking wine with ice cubes, Ling Dan flipped through the battle report. In the war report, he really got the information he wanted.

"A giant scorpion monster that creates sandstorms and can quickly travel under the sand? Giant ants that can unleash sticky locusts at people, or giant ants that can travel underground? Sure enough. ”

"A grumpy saber-toothed cat after losing its cubs, and a clawed pit viper that unleashes a venomous nova? The team of re-apprentices recruited by the Great Prince Ewing encountered another army of rampaging corpses in the lost city? It's kind of interesting. ”

The last piece of information, marked in red, attracted Ling Dan's attention. "The seal under the palace to the mysterious shelter has fluctuated? And why is that ......?"

When Ling Dan saw this, he put the battle report on the table, got up and opened the door.

"Tuk Tuk!" Guest, arrived. (To be continued.) )
