Chapter XVII: War and Peace
Dwarf Grimes recognized Laurie as soon as he entered the door, this short-tempered dwarf was a heavy drinker, and even took out a wine bag to drink a few sips when he was in the mood to kill on the battlefield, because this was not less reprimanded by the regiment leader Jade Forest, but it was useless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Laurie was surprised that Merry City was able to touch Greens, handed the tavern a gold coin, ordered another beer, and put his rough hand on the table, rubbing it gently, the muscles at the corners of his mouth slid outward, and a beautiful dimple with a mature manly charm was formed.
"Grimes, my friend, how could you be in Merry City. ”
"Haha, I'll go wherever there's money for wine. Grimes laughed and took the beer, grunting and grunting, attracting the attention of many mercenaries.
Laurie squinted, waited for Grimes to finish drinking, ordered another cup for him, hesitated and asked, "The head of the Emerald Forest is also here?"
"Whew, it's a pleasure. Grims wiped his beard with his big hand, slammed the quilt on the table, and his big red dry nose shone slightly in the dim light: "Well, that elf girl must be here, she takes this mission very seriously, and she doesn't want any problems along the way." ”
There was a hint of strangeness in Greens' eyes, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Laurie, you and that elf girl are completely finished?" Although the Emerald Forest didn't mention you after you left, we can all see that her mood has been very low. ”
Laurie took a big sip of rye beer, his brows furrowed slightly, the charming dimples at the corners of his mouth slowly closed, he pursed his lips bitterly, pointed to his chest, and said with some loss: "See what this is?"
"A vulture with full body hair. Greens' eyes widened, he took a closer look, and gave the answer without healing.
Laurie rolled his eyelids upward, and said angrily: "This is the Holy Griffin, the greatest knight of the Temple of Life, I am now the captain of the eighth brigade of the Holy Griffin Knights, my family has always borne this honor, and I had no choice but to do it at that time." ”
"Haha, Laury, I knew you weren't a coward on the run. Grims patted Laurie on the shoulder excitedly, and the sheer strength made Laurie miss the silvery-white Mithril armor all over his body.
"I don't know if he escaped or not, but he's a coward. ”
A voice as crisp as a bell came from the door of the tavern, and a slender and tall green-haired female elf walked in, wearing brown leather armor, a golden warhammer logo pinned to her chest, a huge purple longbow and a pot full of arrows behind her back, and a slender crescent-shaped blue scimitar at her waist, and the chill of the blade could be felt from afar.
"If it weren't for General Pol's timely rescue, we would have died at the hands of the Blackstone Giant. With a cold face, Jade Lin walked slowly, her light steps did not make a sound, she came to Laurie's side, took off her longbow, leaned against the corner of the table, and moved a chair to sit at the table.
"General Pol, do you mean the legendary warrior who was expelled from the Temple of War, and the Blackstone Giant, what is going on?" Laurie was overjoyed at first when he saw Emerald Forest, and his mood quickly fell as she spoke, and this contrast made Laurie's face show mixed expressions, shame, regret, embarrassment, regret, and so on.
"Haha. Captain, why are you here?" Grimes took a long sip of rye wine, he was curious about how Laurie would face the Emerald Grove, thinking of the interesting things that might happen next, and let out an earth-shattering laugh in his loud voice, which shocked the mercenaries around him to look this way.
Elves and dwarves have appeared relatively rarely, and now that there are two in the small tavern, many mercenaries inevitably have the idea of standing and watching the play without backache, and cast a lot of eyes on Laurie's side.
"Why am I here? I heard someone calling out which elf girl one by one, and I was wondering who this was, so I came and asked. Jade Lin's eyes narrowed, and his right hand rubbed lightly on the scimitar.
Hearing this, Grims suddenly stopped laughing, like a walnut stuck in his throat, and the laughter stopped abruptly. He remembered that when he first joined the mercenary group a few years ago, when he laughed at Jade Lin for dressing like a plucked brocade chicken, he was shaved by the dexterous Jade Lin without resistance, and his chin was as bare as a plucked brocade chicken—this embarrassment lasted for two years.
Grimes lowered his head and took a cautious sip of his wine, avoiding the gaze of the Emerald Grove, as if it was none of my business.
Emerald Lin looked at the silent Greens, and then put her two hands back on the table, she directly ignored Laurie who was sitting on the side, and shouted as if through the air: "Boss, bring me a rye beer, the biggest one!"
Everyone, including the mercenaries, Laurie, Grimes, and even the tavern owner, froze, and suddenly the noisy tavern fell silent, and a mercenary's glass rolled down and rolled on the floor.
However, no one paid any attention to the glass that was emitting the only sound source in the tavern, until Emerald Grove called out again, "Hey, hey, I say, bring me a rye beer!"
Elves are notoriously picky and self-disciplined, except for occasionally drinking a few kinds of fruit wine, everyone in the Tianyuan Continent knows that elves don't drink alcohol, let alone shoddy rye wine with the taste of horse urine, except for men with rough taste buds who are three years old, no one likes this kind of strong liquor, and those who have a little money will order a glass of rum.
"Hey, boss, bring her a glass of horseshoe fresh fruit wine, and I'll pay for it. Laurie stopped the boss and handed her another gold coin, and the plump proprietress smiled with joy.
"I said, let's have a rye beer. Jade Lin stared coldly at the female boss, so frightened that the boss hurriedly returned the gold coin to Lowry, and then obediently brought a cup with a height of fifteen centimeters, and put it in front of Jade Lin to be taller than her face.
Grimes took his right hand in his left hand, squeezed it together fiercely, and then let it go, his big rough hand pressed against the table, and the poor table made a "squeak" sound.
"Grims, shut up if you try to stop me. ”
Grimes smiled, lowered his head and took a slow sip of beer, glancing at Laurie: "Captain, I want to remind you that the taste of rye beer is not something you can bear. ”
Laurie nodded gratefully, and said, "Yes, Emerald Forest, you can change to a cup of horseshoe fresh fruit bar, and we can talk about it if you have something." As he spoke, he reached out to pull the rye beer in front of the Emerald Grove.
"Rub..."
With a clear sound, the blue dagger slammed into the table, and the blade shook slightly, only 1 centimeter short of piercing Laurie's palm.
Laurie looked at the Emerald Grove with a stiff smile on the corners of her mouth.
"I don't have much to say to you. Emerald Lin glanced at Laurie faintly, reached out and picked up the rye beer, the brown liquid, the floating foam, the black crack at the mouth of the cup, she frowned slightly, closed her eyes, and poured her head up.
"Goo..."
Grims looked at the desperate posture of the Emerald Grove, swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, looked at Laurie, and found that Laurie was also full of helplessness and bitterness, Grims was not stupid, knowing that he had better not mix the matter between Laurie and the Emerald Grove, so he also picked up the beer, raised it to Laurie, and drank it.
After the first sip, Emerald Lin immediately wanted to spit it out, but she held back, the pungent brown liquid was like the urine of the Kodo beast, with a sour and spicy spicy, and when it flowed into her throat, she almost choked out tears, the beer rolled in her stomach, and she slammed down the wine glass, her eyes slightly red.
Frown.
Soothing.
Blink.
A slight salty taste flows into the corners of the mouth.
Exhaled softly, with a hint of rye beer.
It was like squeezing through a narrow path, and the thorns on both sides of the road pierced the body all over the body, and then a wide and bright avenue suddenly appeared in front of him, Emerald Forest's eyes were red, for some reason, the heavy stone in her heart was put down, she glanced at Laurie, Laurie's lips squirmed, as if to say something, Emerald Lin pulled out the dagger, took the longbow on his back, and walked out of the tavern without hesitation.
A crisp voice drifted into Laurie's ears.
"The war is about to begin. ”
Laurie was stunned for a moment, then showed a thoughtful expression, and then his face changed greatly, and after hurriedly saying goodbye to Grimes, he hurriedly rushed out.
"Hey, Laurie, I'll drink the rest for you. Greens shouted from behind.
Laurie's forehead was wet with sweat, and he was hurrying as if he was burning his buttocks, and he bumped into a figure head-on.
A slightly immature boy's voice rang out.
"Oh, I said big brother, why are you so short-sighted, you don't let go of the child. ”
Laurie looked panicked, and saw a child lying on the ground, with clear eyebrows and a face as white as porcelain, judging from the dress, it should be a child of a noble family, a small hand covering his chest, and his clever eyes were staring at him angrily.
"I'm really sorry... I—" Laurie glanced at him, and then changed his words: "Master Eric, why are you here?"
