Although the "Warm-hearted Bill's Family" is larger than the pattern of "Poplar and Wine", and there are many more guests, Zhao Li still found the person he was looking for after drinking a glass of malt beer.

It was two tables of big men sitting in one corner of the tavern, about a dozen or so people, and no one approached them in a circle.

These big men are obviously young and strong, all of them look fierce, wearing different armor and weapons, and they are drinking and shouting at the same time, while playing the Kunla card.

These big men are all mercenaries.

Zhao Li put the wooden cup that he had finished drinking on the counter and walked towards those big men.

"Hey guys, can you add me to playing Kunla?"

Zhao Li greeted the mercenaries.

All the mercenaries raised their heads and looked at Zhao Li, one of them was a middle-aged bearded man, stopped the card game in his hand, glanced at Zhao Li, and asked, "Who are you? I haven't seen you." ”

"That's what you call me, Franconia, I've just come from a wandering trip to Peeltown, and I've heard that war is going to break out here, and I like excitement. ”

Zhao Li laughed like a real mercenary, pulled over a stool and sat next to them.

The mercenaries have a circle of mercenaries, and Zhao Li came to Peel Town, on the one hand, to avoid the Western Nigadian Empire, especially those who are reincarnated, and on the other hand, his promotion plan cannot be left behind.

But to be honest, Zhao Li's vision has been a little high since he had eaten the mutant inducers of ghouls and werewolves.

Forget about the water ghost, there are not many free attribute points to eat again, as for the ghoul - unless you go to the battlefield to find it, it is a little difficult to deliberately find it, and it is not a good choice to steadily harvest free attribute points.

How to quickly find the monster and harvest it is the problem that Zhao Li has to face.

And who knows more about the haunting information of nearby monsters?

That's the mercenaries.

In fact, the bearded mercenary man who asked Zhao Li just now also had an impression in Franken's memory.

This bearded mercenary is the head of Peel Town, and the leader of the local mercenaries.

That's right, most mercenaries are wandering around, they will do anything to get thrilled and money, as long as they have money, they can drive out wild beasts, or they can get involved in wars - Zhao Li is currently trying to create such an image.

There are also a small number of mercenaries who will choose to stay in a town - usually these mercenaries are tired of wandering around, and stay in a place to start a stable new life, and in fact, there will be no shortage of business, after staying for a long time, even the local magistrate, or even the lord will entrust some things, ask the mercenaries to help to complete.

"Young hyena chasing war?heh, young man, war is not fun..." The bearded man lowered his head and continued to start his game, and at the same time accepted Zhao Li into the game: "We are playing Kunla cards to place bets, do you have any money?"

With the bearded man's words, the mercenaries on the side gave way to some places so that Zhao Li could sit in.

In other words, thanks to Zhao Li's current physique and image, unless there are special circumstances, no one will embarrass him.

"Haha, of course, but I only have the gold of the Nigadians, can I?"

Zhao Li took out a yellow gold coin from his arms and threw it directly into a large pile of copper coins on the table.

Although he used a question sentence, Zhao Li seemed to be sure that they would accept the gold coins of the Nigadians.

That's right, that's how mercenaries should live and behave.

The mercenaries only recognize the value of the gold coins, not the avatars on the gold coins, and besides, this is a border town, and in the border areas, it is quite common to use the currencies of different countries.

"Please, even the lord will not refuse the Nigadians. ”

The bearded man muttered, his tone seemed to be thick with mockery.

This reminded Zhao Li of the unusual atmosphere in the town.

"I've come after the war, but why is it so calm in Peel so you can tell me about it?"

Zhao Li pretended to be unintentional and asked the mercenaries, and at the same time raised his head and shouted in the direction of the tavern counter: "Hey, man, serve each soldier at these two tables two glasses of ale!

Zhao Li's move quickly narrowed the emotional distance between him and these mercenaries.

As the saying goes, the hands are short, and the mouth is soft.

Although twenty glasses of malt beer is not expensive, to be honest, it is not cheap, and the average mercenary only drinks one or two glasses a day to satisfy his cravings.

And Zhao Li, while playing the Kunla card to earn free attribute points - the bet doesn't matter, a small gold coin, it doesn't matter if you give it to these poor ghost mercenaries, he is a rich man now, this is stained with the light of the reincarnations...

While listening to the mercenaries talk about the situation in the town, Zhao Li soon understood some of the situation.

First of all, it is why the town of Peel is obviously the front line of the burning war, but there are no troops of the Temoya Empire.

Because the geographical location of Peel Town is really not very good from the perspective of war, and there is nothing to defend.

Therefore, although His Majesty the Emperor Temoa sent a number of troops, these troops, which were already feared by the Nigardians in the west, chose to be stationed on the edge of a river bank, about a few kilometers behind the town of Peel, which was considered a favorable terrain.

And why isn't there a bit of tension in the town... This is the manager of Peel Town, the lord of the land.

The lord of Peel was a baron, known as "Baron Paine", who lived in a stone castle in the heart of the town.

The current lord of Peeltown, Baron Paine, I don't know if it's because the realm has been abandoned by the Imperial army, or because of the disappearance of his family - yes, I heard that the lord's family is missing.

In short, every day now, the baron is addicted to alcohol and can't extricate himself, and he doesn't care about any affairs in the town at all, even if his knights remind him several times to prepare for war, he doesn't care.

Not only that, but a few days ago, the lord even openly said after drinking: "If the western Nigadian army really comes, then Peel Town will surrender as soon as possible!"

Since the rulers and owners of Peel Town have said so, what else is there to prepare for war?

"Well, that's a good option, at least without bloodshed, but it's really bad for me, without war, it seems like there's no business for me. ”

Zhao Li took a sip of the slightly sweet malt beer and asked the question he was most concerned about: "By the way, do you know where there are monsters nearby?"
