Chapter 17: Message to Estil 2
Serena saw a few people flying away, turned and walked into a nearby tavern. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The tavern is unremarkable, devoid of the usual underworld signs, and may just be a place for farmers to relax and spend their days. The tavern was full, and there was only one table that no one dared to move. The guests laughed and came in through the gate, and when they saw the tavern full of people, they secretly cursed that they were late again.
Serena didn't sit down, and walked straight to the bar.
"One gold coin, buy you a glass of water. Selina said, placing a gold coin on the table.
The bartender looked at the gold coin carefully, but didn't dare to grab it. said: "Miss, I don't know what the news is. Maybe you should try the taverns in town, they are well-informed and will be happy to answer you. ”
"I see......," said Serena, looking him in the eye, "a pint of ale, you can keep the change." ”
The bartender had never seen such a generous man, a pint of ale was less than a silver coin, and he had received so much tip without providing useful information, and the windfall did not give him any excitement, but said in fear: "Miss, we really can't find anything here." And the small store can't stand the toss, if something happens, the boss has to fire me. ”
"It's not my problem, and you'd better not make it mine. Do you understand?" Serena threatened.
The bartender naturally understood that Serena was telling him not to talk too much, so he had to reluctantly say, "As you wish, Miss." ”
Serena walked across from the empty table and tossed a gold coin at a table where people were drinking and punching.
In the face of the flying money, several people were half-drunk and sobered up a lot.
"Take your glasses and plates, and the coins will be yours. Serena said.
Everyone at the table looked at each other, and they didn't react for a while. He hurriedly put away what he had left, and rushed out of the tavern with his glasses and plates. Serena looked at the still stained tabletop and reluctantly sat down. Drink half of the ale in one sip, and the cool ale wine makes you feel refreshed.
On the one hand, the bubbles evaporated by the ale can cool down, and on the other hand, the barrel of ale itself is taken out of the cold ice barrel. Finding ice is a problem this season, and the winter ice and snow are now exhausted. How to find ice in the heat of summer was a problem, until an alchemist discovered this business opportunity, and they made ice out of something like salt, but it always smelled of urine, and how to deodorize the alchemist's ice was a hot topic in the alchemy world at that time. The ice made by alchemists is expensive, and the ice sold is extremely expensive. Finally, this business opportunity naturally reached the ears of the mage, and the ice made of magic was cheap and affordable, and there was no unpleasant smell.
So if you think that mages are old men who spend their days studying university questions, you are very wrong, they have also developed a lot of business opportunities, such as moving toy dolls, strange human props, and puppets that can answer a few words simply, all of which are the livelihood of some unpopular mages.
Slowly, as if everyone was in a hurry to do something, they all left the tavern one by one.
Only Serena sat silently, when three men entered the tavern door. They wore old chain mail and swords at their waists. From the red-beaked bird crest on their chests, Serena recognized them as the Knights of the Holy Spirit, the knights of love, the men of the Romeo family. It's no surprise that New River Valley was originally the fiefdom of the Romeo family. The guards seemed to have come here for fun, even though it was their time patrolling the streets.
Serena wanted to talk to them, but the three of them saw that someone dared to stay here, and it was still a woman in brown and black leather armor. Interested Ask:
"Woman, who are you? Don't look like a peasant woman. ”
Serena drank the ale from her own cup and did not answer.
One of them couldn't sit still and shouted, "If we ask you something, you can give me a good answer!"
Serena finished the wine in her glass and said slowly, "I am Serena of Demorah, a slick, a traitor, an assassin, and the mastermind of Miss Skye's murder. ”
"Hahahaha......" The three guards laughed in unison.
"You're Serena, I'm still Perial!" one of them laughed.
Another also said, "If everyone says what they are, there will be kings and lords everywhere." ”
Serena said, "No, you can come and confirm." ”
One of them put away his smile and said, "If you were Serena of Demorah, why did you come here?"
Serena motioned for him to sit down, and the guard did as he could. Serena continued, "I'm here to hunt for something crazy, and now I need a little help. ”
"How do you need help?" asked the guard.
"I need someone who is capable, powerful, and unsightly, to quietly deliver a message to me. Serena said, fiddling with the wine glass in front of her.
"We can give you a night of desire/immortality/death, hahahaha......" a standing guard scoffed.
"I said, you can make sure if I'm Serena from Demorah. Serena spoke, sticking her iron dagger into the table.
The three of them looked at her with a little vigilance, not knowing what tricks she would play. Serena's gaze also wandered between the three of them, and at that moment Serena's chest rose and fell, and she let out a long hiccup.
After a moment of silence.
"Poof!" the guard who had just spoken out laughed, "Hahaha...... You've really blown my eyes away, hahaha......"
The other two laughed so loudly that tears came out of their eyes.
"Ahh
In an instant, one of the laughter turned into screams. The other two reacted, and saw the offending guard cover his mouth, and fell to his knees and let out a crying cry, blood gushing out of his mouth, staining half the ground red. Seeing this, the bartender let out a few shuddering gasps, turned around and ran out the back door of the tavern.
Look at Serena again, sitting in place as if she had never moved. It's just a dagger on the table, with a few more traces of blood.
"His mouth is cleaner than it used to be, isn't it? Serena said contemptuously, a whimpering hum in the background.
The other two swallowed, only to realize that the hiccup was meant to make them careless. With such skills and tricks, who else would Serena be if it wasn't Demorah.
The guard, who had been seated, stood up respectfully and said, "At your service, my young lady." ”
"I'm not a nobleman, don't call me that. Serena said, "But you do have something to do for me, and I need to get a message across." ”
The sweaty guard standing on the side said, "No problem, miss, we just know someone who can serve you." ”
"I need connections to get the word out in another city as quickly as possible, does the person you're talking about have the ability?" Serena questioned.
"Yes, Miss, you can't find anyone more capable in the entire empire......"
