Chapter 14: Anger
Yang Shou frowned slightly, falling into thought. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Danny on the side couldn't wait any longer, and looked on tiptoe into the street, his little head kept spinning around, and replied, "It's so chaotic now, maybe the captain is also looking for us, Brother Yang, why don't we go around the city?" ”
Yang Shou smiled knowingly when he heard this, looked at Danny who was full of eagerness, and patted the other party's head: "You go play with them, remember to find someone to join you, don't run around alone." ”
"Okay, okay, thank you Brother Yang, then I'll go!" Danny nodded excitedly, and as he spoke, he had already run out of the way, disappearing into the crowd on the street.
Yang Shou scratched his chin, he couldn't find Bill for a while, and he couldn't walk around casually, and looked around, and the tavern of the tavern opposite entered his field of vision.
Ivy Tavern, almost forgot about it.
This is the signboard of the northern outpost, whether it is wine or beauty, as long as you want, you can provide it all here, and it also carries a lot of memories of Yang Shou.
Yang Shou walked across the street, and as soon as he pushed open the door of the tavern, the noise was mixed with a hot air, and he immediately rushed to his face.
The tavern was already overcrowded, mostly soldiers in military uniforms, and a few orcs of different appearances in between. Yang Shou felt like he had walked into a hypermarket that was being promoted, with various accents and languages mixed together, and it was extremely lively.
The taverns are so lively, I don't know what the casino next door is going to be.
Merchants traveling between the Orc Kingdom and the Human Empire must pass through this place if they choose the land route, and it is this trade route that has given birth to the prosperity of this small outpost.
Yang Shou asked for a cold bottle of rum at the bar, squeezed through the crowd, and went up to the third floor.
There is only a narrow corridor on the third floor, but when you walk to the end, you will find that there is also a four-meter square balcony hidden here. Back in the game, Yang Shou often came to the Qingteng Tavern with his friends to rest.
The wooden shed will block out the scorching sun, and everyone will stand or sit with their cold drinks, listening to the creaking of the floor, reflecting on the day's gains in the game and looking forward to tomorrow's adventure......
Kerala ......
A piercing sound came, dragging Yang Shou's thoughts out of his memories, and he was surprised to find that there were already people on the balcony.
A huge figure was sitting there, its bulging belly lying together, and the chair and floor under it were crushed with a scream, as if they might be crushed by the other party at any moment.
"I thought I was the first to discover this,"
Yang Shou walked over and smiled at the other party: "I'm too stupid, the first person to find out here must be the owner of the tavern~"
When the other party heard this, he turned his head in some surprise, revealing a rough face.
Brown eyes, a large black nose, and the most conspicuous thing are two large teeth that emerge from between the lips. There was also a huge cigar hanging from the other party's mouth, and the smoke was particularly strong.
This is the Bearmen, a race in the Orc kingdom known for their loyalty and bravery. Like other orcs, bearmen resemble humans in appearance, but they have some of the physical characteristics of beasts.
The other party glanced at Yang Shou indifferently, waved his hand, and said in a lingua franca that was not very fluent: "Boy, the third floor is not open to the public." ”
Yang Shou didn't seem to hear the other party's words, and walked over to himself.
"Boy, I said, this is a private place." In the other party's rough voice, there was a trace of impatience,
"Oh? Isn't it okay for a fellow from the Giant Claw Forest? ”
Yang Shou's voice with a smile came, and the bear man was stunned, and immediately stood up from the recliner and turned to face Yang Shou.
The guy stood up more than two meters tall, extremely strong, wearing a pair of large flowered pants, and at the bare chest, chest hair scrambled to squeeze out of his clothes.
"A recruit from the human army, from the Giant Claw Forest?"
The bear man looked Yang Shou up and down a few times, unconcealed the suspicious look in his eyes, and waved his arm, which was thicker than Yang Shou's thigh: "Hmph, boy, at the northern outpost, the consequences of deceiving Barkley are very serious. ”
Yang Shou gritted his teeth and smiled indifferently: "Mr. Buckley, I promise, my sincerity is as abundant as the water of the Nushui River~ I see, let's talk about the berries of the Giant Claw Forest first~"
……
There are two sides to everything, and the same is true of the army's entry into the northern outpost.
For businessmen, this is a rare business opportunity, and for some unarmed civilians, it is the end of the world.
A residential area in the west of the city, an alley.
The people in the alley had long since run out, and the silence was a little weird, and Bill stared at the few people opposite, his hand holding the long sword had begun to sweat.
Viscount Thomas's gang of ruffians had a good reputation, and when they came to the northern outpost, there must have been people making trouble, but Bill didn't expect that these people would be arrogant and vicious to this extent.
The five soldiers stood lazily on the road, each with a weapon, looking at Bill with an unkind face, and the leader was Scarface. Next to several people, a girl in tattered clothes was lying on the ground with her hands and feet tied, and faint begs for mercy could be heard.
Scarface bent down, brushed away the girl's long hair, and looked at the white face that the long hair covered it, and the long eyelashes were tightly closed, extremely weak, and it looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Scarface "hehe" laughed evilly, "It's really good, when the adults have had enough, we can also get wet and have a good activity~"
"Haha~ Of course, this little girl, tender out of the water~"
Several people laughed insolently, and Bill's face became more and more ugly.
"Old thing, you think I can't clean you up?"
Scarface straightened up, tilted his head, looked at Bill impatiently and said, "Don't meddle, or don't blame me for not being merciful." ”
Bill's gaze took his eyes off the fallen girl, stared at Scarface, and said, "I told you, this girl's father is my friend. Let her go, my people have already gone to inform Lord Caroline, do you really want to be shown to the public by Lord Caroline? ”
Scarface laughed when he heard this: "Do you really think Caroline can protect you for the rest of your life?" Old thing, no one dares to take care of this idle matter in the imperial capital, do you still want to take care of it? Don't want to delay time, get out of here, I don't want to kill people here. ”
Bill's face was solemn and he took a deep breath.
He knew he couldn't back down.
After entering the city, Bill planned to come to Lao Chang's house to say hello first, and then go to meet Yang Shou, but he never expected to see such a scene at the door of Lao Chang's house!
The girl was taken away by them, and then she would definitely evaporate from the world, and there would be no proof of death, so even if Lord Caroline came to administer justice, what was the use?
Bill was about to say something more, when the wooden door on the side of the alley was pushed open with a "squeak~", and a figure walked out of the house.
It was Adjutant Liu, who was next to Viscount Thomas.
The other party was holding a white handkerchief and wiping the blood from a long knife. Bill saw this scene in his eyes, and couldn't help but be angry, his eyes were blood-red, and the green tendons on his neck were tensed high!
"Where's Chang Chang!?"
Bill roared angrily, his tone was full of resentment and violence, Adjutant Liu looked over unexpectedly, and found that Bill, who was furious, couldn't help frowning.
Scarface immediately leaned over and said a few words, Adjutant Liu seemed to be very dissatisfied with Scarface's procrastination, and snorted heavily: "Don't waste time, subdue him first, and then find a place to solve it completely, Lord Lord will have to wait in a hurry." ”
"Bill is the oldest captain in the boot camp, kill him now, in case Caroline is held accountable......" Scarface hesitated, obviously a little jealous of Caroline's power, after all, he still had three days of confinement on Caroline's account.
"Don't worry, Caroline won't be able to do it for a few days." Adjutant Liu sneered, glanced at Bill contemptuously, and turned to leave.
Bill already felt that his friend Lao Chang had been killed, and his heart was furious, and he raised his long sword and rushed straight to attack: "Don't run, Lao Tzu wants your dog's life!" ”
Scarface had long been impatient with the nosy Bill, and now that he had the order, he left the military regulations behind him, smirked, and raised his sword to Bill.
"Catch him, as long as he doesn't die."
……
Ivy Tavern.
In the game, Buckley, as the tavern owner, often deals with players, and he has been running the tavern for many years, so if you want to find out anything, you should definitely go to Buckley.
"If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it, these words came from the mouth of a recruit,"
Barkley laughed, habitually patting his bucket-like belly before holding out his big hand, "Do you know how long it's been since I've been back to the Giant Claw Forest?" Five years, five whole years! Compared to this place where birds don't poop, it's a paradise~"
With Barkley's laughter, the entire floor on the third floor trembled, and Yang Shou held on to the railing, a little worried about whether the balcony would collapse directly.
The Giant Claw Forest is the hometown of the bear orcs and has a special place in the hearts of the bear people.
It is said that in ancient times, they would choose the same tree hole every year when they hibernated, and if the tree hole was occupied by other creatures, they would not hesitate to defend their home with their lives.
Listening to Yang Shou's description of the Giant Claw Forest, and even the details of the life of the bear people, Barkley couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"This is what my grandfather told me, but I really want to be there, and I will definitely visit the orc kingdom in the future." Yang Shou moved his grandfather out as a shield again, and said with a smile.
Barkley was hooked by Yang Shou one topic after another, and the two talked happily, and soon, Yang Shou led the topic to the topic he was interested in.
"Oh~ You asked the group of orcs who entered the city just now?"
Barkley hiccuped as he held an oversized oak glass, "You just came, you don't know." It was our High Chief's envoy, Lord Bobby, who had been invited to visit your Emperor. ”
Yang Shouyi raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that there is still such a thing?
Behind his back, he was about to dig someone's ancestral grave, but on the surface, he was still hugging and talking cordially.
Tsk ~ there is a set.
His Majesty the Emperor, who was far away in the imperial capital, had put so much thought into it, in fact, it was all to conceal the real purpose of Viscount Thomas's coming here - to excavate the holy relics.
Three months ago, the Empire's higher-ups received a shocking revelation that the Orc Kingdom's lost relic, the Wild Heart, was in an ancient tomb somewhere in this wasteland.
According to ancient legends, the Wild Heart is the mortal creation of Loshanda, the god of the morning light. The orc ancestor, the first orc chieftain, evolved from beast form to human form under the influence of the Wild Heart.
It was also thanks to it that the first generation of orcs successfully settled and multiplied in the vast northern wasteland, and developed into the current huge kingdom. The magical power contained in the heart of the wild has made countless people salivate.
