The contemplative light on the table attracted all eyes without accident, and the greedy gaze shot out of the dim corner like a sharp arrow, staring closely at the table strewn with treasure, the heavy table top was almost seen through by them.

However, the innkeeper's swarthy face did not change in any way. He bent down his stout body, stretched out a hand, and groped slowly through the pile of treasure for a long time, before he scooped out two finger-sized pieces of gold, and put them into his bosom, and with that unkind face, he turned around without hesitation, and returned to the kitchen to prepare food for the pirates.

As soon as the innkeeper left, the drooling guests who had hid in the darkness could not help but rush out with their weapons raised. Under the reflection of the firelight, I finally saw their faces clearly, and sure enough, they were all Lepeilian people from the Eastern Continent, about twenty of them. They surrounded the Fijian pirates with great vigour, and before they could put themselves on a posture, someone shouted impatiently: "The Fiji pirate Shi Jiadi is cruel and cunning, killing innocents indiscriminately, and doing all kinds of evil, and it is a blasphemy to live a person like you!"

"Hurry up and hand over the looted goods, or the heroes will immediately eliminate the harm for the people!"

"That's right! The property of the Fiji people was stolen from the Lepelian people, and it is only natural that they should be returned to us. ”

"Don't talk nonsense with them, it's just a sinister and cunning inferior people. It was they who colluded with foreign races in a vain attempt to invade our land and brought a thousand years of war and chaos to the Eastern Continent, and it is not a pity to die!"

"That's right, the Fiji are the most heinous traitors, all of whom have inherited a filthy bloodline, and deserve to be punished......"

The Lepeilian were educated to hate the "sinister and cunning Fitans" and to treat them as heinous villains, whose killing would not be met with any ethical condemnation, but would give them a sense of heroic superiority. So, relying on the strength of the crowd, the more they scolded, the more excited they became, and they were filled with righteous indignation and rushed to count the crimes of the Fiji people, as if they could not show their justice without taking the opportunity to insult them. This is also one of the cultural specialties of the Lepelian people: to do evil through the mouth of justice.

In the past, Fiji pirates usually raided the coastal areas of the Eastern Continent. However, in recent years, because many nobles in the Eastern Continent went to the Colosseum in the Western Continent to gamble with a large amount of property, and the ships traveling to and from the Western Sea were often looted by the Fijian pirates, therefore, there were not a few countries in the Eastern Continent that wanted the leaders of the Fijian pirates. Anyone who catches this great pirate (dead or alive) will be rewarded with a huge bounty, which is exactly why the group of Lepelians in front of them are waiting in this remote town.

However, the Fiji pirates don't land here every day to replenish supplies, so sometimes they wait for dozens of days in a row. Those who are impatient have long since left, and those who are lucky enough to wait are naturally excited, as if the bounty is within reach. In fact, I don't know how many batches of so-called heroes like this from the Eastern Continent who came to the Western Continent to eliminate harm for the people over the years.

Although they were indignant and counted the charges of the Fiji pirates, none of them dared to take the lead.

In the midst of the insults, the innkeeper finally came out of the kitchen with his food. Perhaps he had long been accustomed to it, but he turned a blind eye to the farce in front of him and walked over as usual. The Lepelian, armed with his weapons, had already surrounded the pirates' table, and the innkeeper had no choice but to free his hand, unceremoniously brushed aside a few of the guys who were in the way, put the food and wine in his hand on the table, and then turned away as if nothing had happened, and said without looking back: "You haven't been here for a long time, and my kitchen has been running out of meat lately......"

"Bang-"

As soon as the innkeeper finished speaking, he suddenly slipped his hand again and dropped his weapon to the ground. The man squatted down tremblingly, picked up his weapon, and his hands on the hilt of his sword trembled incessantly, and he was sweating profusely.

Seeing this, Shi Jiayan couldn't help but laugh again, and the clear laughter overflowed the entire hall in an instant. The big pirate looked at the innkeeper's back with half-squinted blue eyes, and said happily, "Isn't it easy to get meat?"

She completely ignored the sharp weapons that surrounded them, and ignored the thunderous insults. As if nothing had happened, she unhurriedly reached out and carefully cut the meat from the large plate on the table, took out a piece and put it into a small plate, handed it to the young man with blond hair and blue eyes on the left, and then distributed the food to the dozen young people at the same table in turn. Finally, she took the last piece of meat left on the plate, cut it in half, and placed half of it in front of the two tear-shaped cardinal freckled pirates beside her, who was always grinning, and then kept the last piece for herself.

"Didn't you keep shouting that you were hungry, and now that you don't eat the food in front of you, is it because you dislike the smell of the meat of the beasts and affect your appetite?" she said, giggling again. Then he elegantly cut a small piece of meat, slowly put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully. The meat seemed to be a little rough, and it must not have tasted very good, but she ate it very deliciously, and her expression was pleasant, as if she were sitting in a splendid palace and tasting delicious food.

The group of heroes who were holding weapons and were about to eliminate the harm of the people were still staring at the table with righteous indignation, but no one dared to take the lead. Not because they were afraid, but just waiting for the right moment, they secretly hoped that someone else would strike first, so that they could take advantage of the chaos to seize the shining treasure.

Shi Jiayan leisurely swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said casually in that charming and subtle voice: "Axi, you go and send some meat to the boss's kitchen, just enough to cover our accommodation fee tonight." ”

"Oh, yes. The brown-red-haired Assi stood up and smiled, the pair of tear-like freckles under his blue eyes particularly eye-catching.

Assi's movements were so fast that it was almost impossible to see the movement, and before the Lepelian people could react, he had already knocked down a large number of them with a grin. It's not that they're too weak, it's that he's too strong. Before the people who had fallen to the ground got up, Assi picked them up one by one and threw them directly to the kitchen door. He smiled back, and the few remaining people were so frightened that their legs went limp, and before they could resist, they were thrown out one by one by Asi.

The sound of "bang-bang-" rang out one after another, and everyone who was thrown over hit the wooden door of the kitchen without exception, and then fell to the ground again, one on top of the other, all piled up on the kitchen door. With such a long-distance throw, even if you don't faint, you probably won't be able to get up in a short time.

In the blink of an eye, Assi easily cleaned up all the troubles. Then, he calmly returned to sit down beside Shi Jiayan, and said with a smile: "It's finished, and I saved a lot of accommodation fees tonight." ”

The drama had just begun, and calm soon returned to the house. The innkeeper silently dragged the pile of dead or faint guys stacked in the doorway into the kitchen, and then closed the door again with a "bang".

Seeing this, Mono looked at the strange-tasting meat in front of him with a puzzled stomach, and only felt disgusting, and he wanted to throw the plate out of the door together. Priest Sirwin was calm from beginning to end, and he must have been indifferent to everything except for matters related to the Streamer Clan.

Finally got rid of all the troubles, Shi Jiayan turned his gaze to Moye, and said with a playful smile: "Huh, the one next to him really looks like Moye!"

"It was me. Mano stood up with a smile and walked over to the pirates. He and the priest sat in front of the fire, the brightest and most conspicuous place, and the two of them were unusually tall, the most inconspicuous presence in the room, and the distance between him and the pirates was only two empty tables, and it was certainly impossible for Shi Jiadi not to notice. But before, she had been silent and never squinted, until she had dealt with the group of Lepeilian people who came from the Eastern Continent to find trouble, and then she began to respond to Moye. This was because she had already sensed the restless aura in the corner as soon as she stepped through the door, after all, it was not the first time this had happened.

Mono walked up to the pirates, looked down slightly at the petite but famous pirate leader, and said with a smile:

"You look the same as before. ”

"Heh, but you don't seem to have changed the same way...... Shi Jiayan laughed, it had been ten years since she first met Mono. Although everyone made a living by the sea, and often returned to the Western Sea for so many years, there were many opportunities for the Fiji pirates and the half-blood merchant fleet to meet, but the leaders on both sides were able to meet by chance. Therefore, Shi Jiayan naturally didn't think that Moye's sudden appearance in such a remote place was an accident, she glanced thoughtfully at Priest Sirwin, then looked back and asked straight to the point, "Is there something wrong with me?"

"Indeed, I would like to ask you a favor. Mono replied frankly. There is no need to beat around the bush to deal with this seemingly delicate on the outside, but unambiguous on the inside, and with her insight, if she talks too much nonsense, it will be even more unpleasant.

Shi Jia Yan didn't respond to Moye immediately, and unconsciously raised his eyes again to look at the streamer man who couldn't be ignored no matter what. Even though he just sat quietly on the side, without any movement, the mysterious and powerful presence was so shocking. More than a thousand years ago, there was a fate between Fiji and Streamer people who had a not very happy ending. But as a descendant of the Fiji people, Shi Jiadi met the legendary streamer for the first time, and her intuition told her that this streamer was very powerful! I don't know if it's because of racial differences, Shi Jiayan didn't even notice the mood fluctuations of the streamer at all, and he didn't show any obvious personality traits, he was as quiet as water!

Quickly retracting his scrutinizing gaze, Shi Jiayan looked at Mo Ye again, and asked as if he understood and asked as if tentatively: "Mo Ye, many years ago, you once begged me for the half-blooded people, and now, you come to me for the streamers. After all these years, do you know what you're living for?"

What Shi Jia meant, Mono naturally understood. He clearly remembered that ten years ago, in order to be able to travel smoothly between the two continents in the West Sea, the half-blood merchants jointly elected him as the deputy leader of the merchant fleet. The reason is self-evident, because Moye has the typical black-haired and blue-eyed appearance characteristics of the Fiji people, and his body size and strength are much stronger than ordinary people.

Therefore, Mano personally went to meet the leader of the Fiji pirates, Shi Jiayan, and made a pact with her. The terms of the agreement were as follows: the Half-Bloods would provide the Fitans with some food and other necessities on a regular basis, but would also help the Half-Bloods if they were in trouble at sea. So, under the condition of mutual benefit of both sides, ten years of peace and tranquility were spent together. During this period, whenever there was a problem with the half-blooded ship, the Fiji people at sea would take the initiative to help repair it. However, in recent years, due to the gradual increase in the number of ships traveling from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent, the main target of the Fiji pirates has become the noble ships of the Eastern Continent.

At that time, Shi Jiadi had indeed invited him because of Moye's appearance and strong abilities, but Mono refused. The reason was that the half-bloods had picked him up and raised him, and he could not leave when they needed to. Shi Jiayan admitted that he did not like those cowardly half-bloods, and also thought that it was a pity for Moye to stay in the half-blood caravan, but he did not embarrass him, and simply made a mutually beneficial agreement with Moye, and then let him go. It was because of the presence of the Demon Wild that the Fiji pirates no longer felt sorry for the half-blood merchants, and the merchant fleet grew rapidly in the past ten years, although the half-bloods' cowardly personalities still did not change.

Shi Jiayan still remembers that after Moye made an agreement with her, rejected her invitation, and turned around to leave without hesitation, the partners beside her looked at Moye's distant back and sighed: "Those timid and weak half-bloods are quite good at finding backers, using Moye as a protective umbrella to act as a barrier against danger, but they cowered and hid in a safe place and pretended to be pitiful." Hearing this, Shi Jiayan just smiled helplessly, although he didn't say anything, he still felt a little unfair in his heart after all.

Later, the two were busy and never looked for a chance to meet. Ten years have passed, and when Moye suddenly appeared in front of her again, he was replaced by a streamer. Now that he thinks about it, Shi Jiayan suddenly realized: how could Moye's tall body and unfathomable strength be just an ordinary Lepeilian Feiqi person?

"Yes," Moye quickly answered Shi Jiayan's question, unlike ten years ago, at this moment, there was not the slightest trace of hesitation or confusion in his expression, nor did he pretend to be open-minded and forbearing, he continued, "Now I understand that I live to know who I am. So, this may be the last time I'll ask for your help. ”

Hearing this, Shi Jiayan nodded abruptly, and then looked away from Moye, and turned to the innkeeper who had come out of the kitchen at some point and was standing at the door looking at this side. They glanced at each other, a glance that only each other could read, and only after the innkeeper nodded silently did Shi Jiayan withdraw his gaze.

At this time, she had already changed into that trademark gentle and cunning look, and smiled at Moye: "Maybe I can help, but presumably your request will not be a simple matter, I think, with my personal ability, maybe there is something insufficient, so I decided to let the innkeeper also help." So, before you do, I'm afraid you'll have to do one thing for the innkeeper first, and when you're done, I'll hear your request. However, I can't guarantee that I will agree to help after hearing this, and ...... Even if you agree, there may be strings attached. ”

Moye knew that no matter how difficult Shi Jiayan was, he couldn't refuse, as if he answered without thinking at the moment: "No problem, you can say it." ”

Shi Jiayan seemed to have expected him to agree, and then said: "Don't worry, the innkeeper's conditions are actually very simple, and with your ability, it can be completed without much effort. ”

"What conditions?" asked Mono immediately.

"He probably wants you to go to the mountains and help him hunt twenty beasts, right?" Shi Jiayan smiled and looked at the innkeeper at the door of the kitchen, who had been very rude and unsmiling before, but at this time, he was uncharacteristically nodding with a smile in his eyes, without any objections.

"Hunting twenty beasts?is that simple?What do you want twenty beasts to do?" asked Mano in surprise.

"What else can the inn do with beasts, of course, for meat-" Shi Jiayan said in a mocking tone, smiling at the unknown Demon Field.

After a while, Moye suddenly reacted, and asked with palpitations: "Didn't I eat ...... before?"

The innkeeper had already turned around and was about to return to the kitchen, but after hearing Mono's words, he suddenly turned around and smiled, "What kind of meat do you think you just ate?"

"Uh......" Mono was dumbfounded.

"Hahaha......" The pirates burst into laughter, apparently aware of the innkeeper's bad taste for teasing the raw with spoiled meat.
