A month later, Jonathan had arrived in the city of Alonia with a wing of elite soldiers selected from the legions of the Lennar Kingdom. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Joanna, Amy and Raphael, naturally, followed Jonathan to this gateway city northeast of Reiner, and this city is also the easternmost support point of the northern defense line that Reiner spends hundreds of thousands of gold coins to build every year, and it is the most important stronghold in the defense line with the fortress of Bayer.

At this time, it was already the last month of the Year of the Star and Moon, and it was the coldest month in the Faisal Continent, and the Winter Maiden's stern and cold eyes were looking at the entire continent, except for the Yongge Forest where the Elf Kingdom was located and blessed by the moon god Phoebes, as well as the Southern Continent Freedom Alliance and the Business Alliance, which were like spring all year round, the rest of the continent was cold and windy.

And the Rainer Kingdom, located in the northern region of the mainland, is naturally even more cold to the bone, and the cold wind desperately leaks into the leaks of people's clothes, so the originally prosperous Alonia City, there are almost few pedestrians on the streets, on the contrary, the various taverns in the city are overcrowded.

No one wants to go out and find work in this kind of damn weather, so they can only go to this kind of place to drink and joke, and brag to the people around them about their performance this year, how many orcs they have killed in previous battles, and how heroic they have fought with them.

And the people around him laughed and raised their glasses to congratulate him when he talked about the highlights, of course, he only congratulated him for his brilliant eloquence, as for the authenticity of the content, this is a tavern, isn't it that everyone is pursuing such an atmosphere that can brag unscrupulously, why care if the other party is talking about their own experience.

Jonathan and Amy Raphael were now sitting in a corner of the tavern, enjoying the warmth of the campfire in the center of the tavern hall while listening to the braggings of the mercenaries and adventurers around her.

When Joanna was in her hometown village, she was often led by Zachary to this tavern where mercenary adventurers gathered, so she was very used to this kind of atmosphere, and even enjoyed it a little.

Not to mention Amy, none of the people in the army had ever been here, and he was even more familiar with this kind of place.

Of the three, only Raphael came here for the first time, listening to the vulgar words of those adventurers and mercenaries, as well as the braggadocio that almost broke through the sky, he was really a little unaccustomed, and his white and tender little face showed anger from time to time, or because of the little jokes in the mouths of those adventurers.

"Relax, Raphael, this is a resting place for taverns, adventurers, mercenaries, and those of us who live on knives, why are you so nervous?" Amy smiled and patted Raphael on the shoulder, telling him to relax, this kind of place is meant to relax.

Before she could finish speaking, Amy whistled at the mercenary who was shouting not far away that she had killed an earth dragon alone, laughing and raising her glass to him, "Let's toast to this warrior's exploits!" ”

"Cheers!" The surrounding mercenary adventurers all laughed and raised their wine glasses one after another, echoing Amy's movements, and the atmosphere in the tavern instantly rose a lot.

"Look, it's that simple, come on, have a drink." After drinking the glass of ale in his hand comfortably, Amy bumped Raphael's shoulder, his action made Raphael's face show a helpless look, he really didn't expect that his usually silent companion was so cheerful in this environment, it was completely a matter of whether the two of them were good or not.

When Raphael was speechless about the change of his companion, he happened to see Joanna looking at him with a smile on her face, which made him blush, and then he wondered: "Joanna, you seem to be very accustomed to this environment, aren't you also the first time like me?" ”

"No, it's not the first time for me." Joanna is very accustomed to the atmosphere around her, not at all stiff like Raphael, and she still looks like she wants to expose the braggadocio of the adventurer mercenaries.

"Well, Joanna, it's not the first time for you?" Raphael, who was listening to another adventurer's bragging, turned his head and looked at Joanna in surprise, "Joanna, you're only fourteen years old, and you've only been fifteen years old this year, it's not the first time you've been here, I thought you were born to adapt to this kind of atmosphere." ”

"Last year, in order to train me, Zachary took me to an underground organization in our county, which was ostensibly a tavern." Joanna shrugged slightly, and then took a sip of the ale wine in her hand, the fertile land of the Lena Kingdom allowed her to have the best quality wheat in the Faisal continent, and of course, it also allowed her to have the most mellow ale.

Hearing Joanna say this, Raphael and Amy showed a hint of surprise on their faces, no wonder Joanna was younger than both of them, and her strength was indeed the strongest of the three, it turned out that Zachary had already started teaching her swordsmanship.

After taking a sip of the wine in his hand, Raphael still felt that he was not very accustomed to such an environment, it was too noisy, so that he could not calmly judge the movements around him, but seeing that his usually cold companion Amy was so cheerful at this time, he had to sit helplessly in his position and speak without words.

"How long do you say we're going to stay here, it's been three days since we arrived in Alonia, and the general is not ready to leave for the orc kingdom."

"The general is waiting for the coalition of the Tanif Empire and the Browning Kingdom to come, and when the coalition of these countries arrives, we will go to the orc kingdom together." Amy heard Raphael's question and replied with a smile.

Raphael, who got Amy's answer, had a blank look on his face, and then glanced at Joanna and Amy, "Do you two still remember the task given to us by the general?" ”

"Naturally, I remember, but Raphael, don't you think it's useful to think so much now, let's relax and meet yourself now." Joanna smiled and looked at her childhood sweetheart, she really didn't expect Raphael to be so unaccustomed to such an environment.

"Okay." Seeing that Joanna and Amy didn't reply much, Raphael had to shrink back and lean on the table in amazement, he really didn't like such an impetuous atmosphere, of course, it is undeniable that when those adventurers and mercenaries were bragging, they were full of free looks, which would make people like it, Raphael could see that the people here were very relaxed at this time, and there was no pressure in the wild.

The pressure of risking their lives all year long has been relieved here, and the cold wind howling outside has not affected the lively atmosphere in the tavern at all, and you only need to say this here.

"Boss, another ale!"
