Chapter 371
In the midst of everyone's laughter, Rui Qiu, whose face was even more blushing, finally couldn't bear it anymore, she stood up abruptly and walked quickly towards the stairs, probably wanting to go back to the room to avoid it.
Xia Dong looked at this familiar scene and shook his head secretly, the simple and lovely Rui Qiu is a pistachio in the mercenary team, because of her personality, so many times everyone can't help but like to tease her, of course, jokes are jokes, in the hearts of all the mercenary team members, she is a baby, and she is loved in her heart, if anyone dares to really bully her, they will have to fight hard.
Dale's Sword and Shield mercenaries had been here for three days, and because the previous escort mission had been successfully completed, the merchant who hired them needed to sell their goods here, so the contract with them was terminated, and they stayed in the tavern waiting for the new employer to come to the door.
Generally speaking, most of the taverns in this world have the functions of some adventurers' guilds, and each mercenary or mercenary team has registered with the adventurer's guild and records certain information with some kind of alchemy product, so that each employer can clearly understand the strength of the mercenaries available, the status of past missions, and the completion of tasks.
And the kind of team where employers often disappear inexplicably or tasks often fail, generally speaking, as long as the employer is not a cerebral convulsion, this can be regarded as a disguised force to abide by professional ethics, after all, in this relatively wild world, once walking in the deserted journey, the only guard around him has something that should not be there, isn't that called the sky should not be called the earth?
Drinking juice, Xia Dong listened silently to the chats of everyone, although there are many glorious past events that have been repeatedly bragged about, but there will also be a lot of local news, information, and materials, which is also one of Xia Dong's important sources of understanding this world.
Isn't there a saying on the earth that it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles!
"Ahhh The sudden screams sounded, which made everyone in the tavern who was chatting and drinking stunned and turned their heads to look.
"What are you doing?" "Still not letting go?" The successive scolds were mixed with the sound of the sword unsheathed.
Xia Dong also raised his head, but what he saw made him slightly stunned, only to see the petite Rui Qiu angrily twisting the arms of a thick man behind his back, and the two middle-aged men around him were standing next to him, constantly scolding Rui Qiu.
Seeing that it was related to their own people, all the mercenaries of the Dale Sword and Shield Mercenary Team suddenly stood up in unison, and they all took their weapons in their hands and surrounded them.
Nolia, who had a fierce temperament, held a long sword in each hand, and walked in the front, her eyes swept over the men coldly, and asked in a deep voice: "Rui Qiu, what's going on?" ”
Hearing her sister's question, Rui Qiu, who had a slight pout, pressed a slight force in her hand, and suddenly made the strong man scream again and again, "Sister, his hands and feet are not clean, and he wants to bully me." ”
Although her words were vague, everyone immediately understood, most of the guests in this tavern are rude mercenaries, walking on the edge of life and death all day long, where there will be any restraint, so it is common to eat waitresses, female mercenary tofu and the like, and there are many female adventurers or waiters themselves who don't care about this, often there will be the right eye, or negotiate the price directly upstairs to interact.
Looking at the strong man's red face again, it is estimated that after drinking a lot of wine, watching the pure and lovely Rui Qiu pass by, he probably didn't hold back his lust, so he wanted to take advantage of it, but he didn't expect to encounter the hard stubble of the warrior's high-level strength, so there was the scene of Fang Cai.
Nolia figured out what was going on, and glared at the men with warning, "Look carefully in the future, and if you dare not do it, you will chop off your hands." After saying that, she looked at her sister again, "Okay, he's been taught a lesson, so be it." ”
This kind of thing is too normal, anyway, my sister didn't suffer, and she didn't care, so she couldn't really start teaching those guys a lesson, right? Although mercenaries earn food on the edge of the knife, they also pay attention to harmony and make money.
Hearing her sister's words, Rui Qiu snorted angrily, and then pushed hard with his hand, and the strong man suddenly rushed forward a few steps involuntarily, and fell on the old and faded wooden floor, causing a burst of ridicule from the drinkers watching the play around.
After doing all this, Rui Qiu turned around and went up to the second floor.
The corners of Nolia's mouth curled, and she turned back to the table and sat down, as did the rest of the mercenary team members, even the tavern owner was extremely calm, this kind of thing happened at least three times a day, it was too normal.
Xia Dong looked at the big man who got up and cursed in a low voice with a smile, and shook his head in his heart, it seems that if you want to be a pervert this year, you have to have capital, took a sip of juice, and he continued to pay attention to the content of other people's chats.
"Squeak" This was the sound of the tavern door being gently pushed open, "Ahem, ahem......" A violent cough sounded immediately after.
"Grandpa, I want to eat sausages." A crisp voice came, and the unique voice was clearly from a child who had not yet changed his voice.
"Ahem, ahem, okay, whatever you want to eat, ahem, just eat, ahem......" The old voice responded with a thick love in it.
After listening to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, Xia Dong couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, as if he was moved by the deep family affection contained in it.
Wrong! Xia Dong suddenly reacted, when did the tavern become so quiet?
He turned his head suddenly, and the corner of his eye jumped, and he saw an old man with a white beard standing in front of the wooden door he had just brought in, dressed in a pure black robe without any decoration, holding a brown cane high above his head in his right hand, and holding a boy less than ten years old in his left hand.
The old man walked very slowly, and he swayed three times in one step, as if he might fall at any time, but even this trembling figure invisibly exuded an inexplicable danger, as if it could make people feel the gloomy depression of heart palpitations and suffocation.
Everyone in the tavern obviously felt this momentum as well, and they all stopped their movements one after another and did not dare to make a sound, but everyone's curious eyes couldn't help but linger on the old man's body.
When the old man walked slowly to the bar, slowly booked a room and sausage to the tavern owner, and climbed the stairs slowly and disappeared, the dull atmosphere in the tavern finally improved, Xia Dong clearly saw that the tavern owner, who had always maintained a calm look in the face of any guests, the blonde dwarf Duke, who had two thick bodies of his own, and tied his long beard out of two ponytails on the left and right, actually wiped the cold sweat on his forehead heavily after the old man disappeared.
Xia Dong then looked at Nolia, who had also fallen silent, only to see that after she exhaled a long breath, her voice was relieved and relaxed, "The Supreme Three Gods are above, how can such a high-level warlock come to Barus?" Could it be for the necromancer in Plaka? ”
