Lick was silent.
Rigal took a sip of ale and exhaled from his mouth, "You'd better let me say it, Fares, or this idiot won't be enlightened." Rigje glared at Lick and said, "It's because of you, you drunkard." We all tell you to quit this undesirable hobby, even if you can't quit and converge. It's good for you, not to mention alcoholism, you used the strength of alcohol to cripple the son of the deputy head of the Hades mercenary group. Don't you know that Hades is one of the three major mercenary groups in Sardinia City, and we Bingyue can afford to offend? ”
"In order to settle this matter for you, Faress used up some of the feelings he had accumulated over the years, and lost a lot of money to keep the family from being held accountable. What about you, you were still sleeping when Faress was running for you! ”
Faress waved his hand and motioned for Regjay to stop talking. He said to Lick, "No matter what, the ice moon was built by the three of us with one hand and one foot. You are all my best brothers, not to mention just using some love and money, even if I compensate the entire mercenary group, I will not let any of you have an accident. It's just that after that incident, we can't get mixed up in Sardinia City. On the surface, the Hades said that they would not pursue it again, but if they offended them, how could any business fall on our heads. But the tree dies, and the man lives. Sardinia can't get along, so let's just change places. ”
The head of the regiment said with a smile on his face: "And this is an opportunity, the son of Iron Spear Ridge Huo Yi is getting married." Luckily, we were able to hunt for ice fangs in the Dark Lands that don't appear in late winter. This was half sold and half given to the Marquis of Hoy, as a congratulatory gift for his son's wedding. I also took the opportunity to establish a good relationship with this marquis, so that we could take root and develop in Iron Spear Ridge. ”
Faress patted his chest and said, "I don't dare to say anything else, there are really few mercenary groups in Iron Spear Ridge that can compare to our Bingyue." Brothers, life has its ups and downs. It doesn't matter if we fall, the most important thing is to have the courage to get up again. With the two of you here, our Ice Moon Mercenary Group will have a time to make a comeback. ”
Lick suddenly let out a low roar, drank the rest of the wine, and said with red eyes: "Lao Tzu touches a drop of wine in the future, and Fares, you will chop off my head, and Ruijie is the witness." ”
Rigal narrowed his eyes and said, "Very well, if Faress doesn't want to do it, I'll be happy to do it for you." ”
Lick laughed, pointed at him and said, "I'll wait for you, but I'm afraid you won't have that chance." ”
Faress smiled and shook his head, he knew that Rui Jie was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. The mouth is a little poisonous, but the affection for Lick is no less than that of himself. But with today's conversation, it's a good thing for Rick and for the mercenary group. As soon as his heart relaxed, he drank too much. After a few cups, Fares's eyes were already a little floating. Ricky put down the wine and said to Lick, "You send him back to his room, and I'll take a look at the freight yard." ”
Rick got up and walked towards the gate with Faress on his back. At that moment, the door opened, and a chill poured in, causing the temperature in the bar to plummet a few points. Outside the door came a man, dressed in a snow-shielding coat and a felt hat stained with snowflakes, revealing a lean and sophisticated face. It turned out to be an old man, but it didn't give people a sense of twilight and old age. Despite his age, his waist is still straight, and his whole popularity is vigorous, like a sharp spear.
Rick took two steps back and made way for the old man. It wasn't until the old man passed by with a chill that the big man came back to his senses and couldn't figure out why he took the initiative to make way for an old man. At this time, Ruijie patted him and said in a low voice: "It's not like ordinary people, don't pay attention to too much, get out of here first." ”
The three of them left, and the old man walked straight to the bar and smiled at the bartender, "Warm me up with a glass of spirits." ”
The bartender was a snob, seeing that the old man's overcoat was just ordinary material, and he didn't even have a collar on his body on such a cold day. Said coldly: "Old man, our wine here is not cheap. Especially if you want spirits, you will need a silver coin for a glass of fire at the last level. ”
The old man laughed, stretched out his hand under his clothes for a while, and found an inconspicuous money bag, and carefully poured out a silver coin from it and handed it over. The bartender snorted, and was about to reach out to take it, when someone shouted, "Give this gentleman the best wine, and I'll pay for it." ”
But it was the man in red sitting in the corner, and he raised his glass to the old man and saluted: "Since you are here, let's sit down and have a drink together." ”
The old man was not polite, retracted the silver coin he was about to hand out, walked to the table, and said, "How embarrassing is this, I am a guest from afar, and I was supposed to invite you." ”
"It's okay, it's just a glass of wine, and I can afford it." The man in red said indifferently. He patted his female companion's hand, the woman hesitated, and the man smiled, "If this gentleman wants to do anything to me, even ten Youlian can't stop him." Go find the steel cannon, and you two will keep me in the hotel. ”
The woman nodded and went.
The old man took the chair and took a seat, and the bartender brought a glass of spirits. The old man took a sip and said, "The weather is the coldest in this late winter, and walking outside is like your blood is about to freeze." ”
"In that case, why don't you stay at home?"
"I want to, too, but sometimes I can't help it." The old man snorted.
The man in red shook his head and did not speak.
The old man took another sip, put down his wine glass, and said, "For the sake of you inviting me to drink this cup, you can go." On a cold day, you Baba will not be too hard to go south by land from Tiger Shark Harbor. ”
"In order to avenge my son, this hard work is nothing. It's you, I heard that your son is getting married, and you don't want to talk about the marriage at home, so why bother to come here, and I won't go to Iron Gun Ridge. ”
The old man shook his head, pointed at the man and smiled, "Okay Eric, you are the famous Bloody Earl, I have no reason to watch you wander around the southern border and be indifferent. I know what you're going to do, to kill people in the Bauhinia Collar. This is not going to work, especially since the man will also escort Miss Jora to my Iron Spear Ridge, he will be my important guest, and you will not be allowed to attack him under any circumstances. ”
"Oh?" The man said lightly: "That means, you Iron Gun Huo Yi is going to stop me here?" Hey, why didn't you have your iron gun with you? ”
The old man shrugged: "At my age, it is too ugly to carry a gun and a knife." What's more, for me, it doesn't make much difference whether I have a gun or not. Why, do you think I can't stop you if I don't have a gun? ”
"Erik, do you want to try it now?"
The man's eyes shrank, and there seemed to be a mist of blood surging in the corners of his eyes, and even the air around the two of them suddenly had a strange fishy smell. He said indifferently: "This is none of your business, why do you interfere?" ”
"I've heard about your son, Erik, don't think I don't know what you've done in the South. wants to kidnap the princess of the Naga tribe, but she is not small. Even with the support of the Sword Lord, does Masson really think that he can cover the sky with one hand? There are four princes in the empire, and he is not the only grand duke. This incident has alarmed the imperial capital, and I believe you know it. It's just that the imperial capital didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so it took a lot of effort to appease His Royal Highness of the Naga clan. If you insist on avenging Carlo now, in case you provoke that Highness, I'm afraid that the Sword Lord behind you won't wipe your ass for you. ”
The man narrowed his eyes: "So you Huo Yi mean that the revenge of killing the son is not avenged?" If your Orlando is killed, can you Hoy swallow this breath? ”
"If you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it." The old man flicked the table and said, "It's okay if you say you're domineering, in short, since I bumped into you, you have to go back to Tiger Shark Harbor for me obediently." ”
The man didn't laugh angrily: "If this is not overbearing, how can it be counted?" Huo Yi, Huo Yi, that kid really has to thank you. Okay, I'll go back. But in the future, it's best for your merchant ships in Iron Lance Ridge not to pass through Tiger Shark Harbor, in case something happens, don't say I didn't inform you in advance. ”
After taking a picture of the liquor, the man stood up and left the bar with great grace.
The old man was not in a hurry to leave, and drank the wine in the cup leisurely before he snorted out of the wine and said: "The current kid is not small, well, maybe I'm really old?" ”
He put down his glass, put back on his felt hat, and walked out of the bar.
When Faress woke up, Rigge told him that the three of Ed were gone. He didn't explain the reason, but he didn't ask Bingyue to return the commission, and he left in a hurry. Faress felt strange and casually said "strange". Rui Jie thought for a moment and said, "When I was at the bar before, there was an old man who talked to them for a while. It wasn't long before the three of Ed were leaving, and I saw the old man riding all the way out of town after their carriage. ”
"Old man? What old man? ”
Ruijie shook his head: "I don't know, but it always feels unusual." Then give a general description of what the old man looked like.
Fares's eyes widened, and he jumped up and said, "That's Hoy, Iron Gun Hoy!" ”
"Wouldn't it? What is the old marquis doing in Jingtie Town alone? Just to see that Ed? ”
Fareth shook his head and said, "I don't know, but judging from your description, it should be Hoy." Although I have never met him in person, I have seen his portrait once, and it is seven or eight points similar to the appearance and temperament you described, so I should not be wrong. Well, you should remind me that we just missed the old marquis. Therefore, this drinking is wrong, otherwise we will all have a friendship with the marquis now, and we Bingyue will not worry about the development of Tielan Ridge. ”
Rigger reassured: "There will always be a chance. ”
"I hope so." Faress smiled wryly.
On this day, Eric, who had secretly gone south, almost forcibly sent Hoy back. In the evening of the same day, Alan arrived at Castle of Dawn. He didn't know that the iron spear Huo Yi quietly resolved a lot of trouble for him.
Albeit only temporarily.
