Lucien looked at the strange scene in front of the tavern amusedly, and walked to the door with doubts, the morning was the most deserted time in the tavern.

At the door of the tavern, a slender girl was secretly looking inside, her long pale blonde hair swaying slightly as her head turned from side to side, and when she turned her head with a sigh, she was startled: "Lucien?"

Another one who knew me and I didn't?Lucien was already used to the situation, and smiled, "Arriving at the tavern so early?"

The girl's wheat-colored skin turned red at once: "I just heard that there is a new bard in the Coppercrown Tavern, and I was curious, and I thought about coming to see before helping my mother do things, okay, time is running out, I'll go first." ”

Watching the girl rush away, Lucien groaned softly, it seemed that the bard's appearance or singing voice was remarkable.

However, it had nothing to do with Lucien himself, so he gently pushed open the half-hidden tavern door and walked inside.

The dimly lit space, the strong smell of alcohol, the crackling wooden floor, and the cluttered tables and chairs were Lucian's first impression of the Bronze Crown Tavern.

Lucien got used to it for a moment before he could see where the bar was.

Several hangover men in the tavern were awakened by the sound of Lucien stomping on the floor, and after cursing a few words in a daze, they continued to sleep on the table.

Only a man in his thirties with a hooked nose, dressed in a long, tight black coat, sat quietly on a chair by the bar, slowly sipping a glass of amber wine, giving Lucien a gloomy feeling.

The gloomy man only glanced at Lucien's arrival for a moment, and then continued to taste the wine in his glass.

Lucien looked around, and soon saw the sleeping dwarf behind the bar, sitting on a tall one-legged stool, his head resting against the bar, snoring loudly, and the drooling saliva that wet the long golden beard tied into a bow a lot.

Seeing that the dwarf didn't seem to wake up for a long time without external force, Lucien had no choice but to flex his fingers and knock on the bar.

In the muffled scolding of the drunks behind him, the old dwarf staggered, slowly raised his head, and said with hazy eyes: "Hey, Lucian, you have finally grown up, and finally understand the meaning of fine wine in life, come, toast, toast to our new guests!"

"Uncle Cohen, it's dawn. Lucien considered the title.

Korn rubbed his eyes and looked at the dim light around him: "I'm not drunk, don't try to lie to me, it's obviously night, what a beautiful night." ”

After a meaningless conversation, finally woke up completely: "Lucian, there are not many things suitable for you, and there is no long-term job for the time being, other things, one is that at nine o'clock in the morning, the small shop in the market area needs to go from the warehouse to the city gate area, there is a shortage of manpower, three copper fairs, but you also know that this kind of thing is controlled by Aaron's gang, and the last one needs to be handed over to them, and the rest can only buy the worst black bread." ”

"One more thing, the musicians' association is doing a big cleaning today, there is a lot of garbage that needs to be sent to the Belém River outside the city, you rent a four-wheeled cart, go by one o'clock in the afternoon, get rid of the money for renting a cart, you can earn eight copper fils back and forth, which is very good, of course, you need to give three copper fils to the Aaron gang.

"At one o'clock in the afternoon, there are a few things like that, but unless you are a knight, you can't get back from outside the city. ”

Lucien nodded, the matter of the musicians' association is the best job, and at the same time he speculated in his heart: "These seven coins on me should be copper fair." ”

"Uncle Cowan, is there anything else that pays more?" asked Lucien curiously.

Korn laughed: "Hahaha, of course there is, but they are not suitable for you, that requires a real man to fight with his life and strength, Lucien, you are still a child who doesn't dare to drink ale." ”

Then he pointed to the open space in the center of the tavern, and became a little serious: "The Dark Mountains are the biggest treasures, there are three, five, six, and seven every year, forget it, I really can't count, in short, there are many, many mercenaries and adventurers who have entered the Dark Mountains, but only a very small part can come out...... "Korn burped, "Of course, they have all made a fortune." ”

"Don't underestimate these mercenaries and adventurers, there are many real knights among them, even big knights. A soft, magnetic voice sounded behind Lucian, and the end of each sentence was strangely raised, presenting a peculiar rhythmic beauty, giving a seductive, elegant feeling.

Lucien hurriedly turned around, and saw that the tavern was opened up to the side of the inn, and out came a silver-haired man, skinny pants, red jacket, high-necked black jacket, obviously very formal clothing, wearing on him, but it seemed to be very lazy and casual, with deep and fine facial features, silver pupils, firm nose bridge, thin lips, and a head of silver silky hair, bewitching and handsome, seeing him, as if there was a sense of beauty to see the silver moon at night.

The young man, holding a harp similar to Joel's in his hand, walked over slowly.

"He's the new bard?" Lucien guessed in his heart, and then asked suspiciously, "The knights are all real nobles, why would they venture to the Dark Mountains in search of wealth?"

Cohen greeted, "Hey, Rhine, why don't you have a drink?"

"I only drink in the evenings. Rhine smiled and sat down next to the bar, "In many countries in the east, there has been no war in two or three hundred years, and the need for knights is not so urgent, after all, canonizing a knight requires giving a manor and land, so there, even if the commoners stimulate their blood power, they can at most get knighthood, and they can't become real nobles, some of them go to other countries and become knights of other countries, and some go to the Duchy of Vaorit, which is far away from heretics, heretics, dark creatures, Warcraft and other nearest places, to establish feats, to find wealth. ”

"In addition, there are many poor knights who are bankrupt, knights who have escaped from crime, noble knights who follow family precepts and travel the continent, and dark knights who have stimulated the power of the bloodline, but because of their dark nature, they are not recognized by the church, and even hunted down. ”

Korn muttered a few words, a little unhappy that Rhine did not drink with him: "Lucien, this is the new bard Rhine, Rhine Calendia, who has wandered and seen a lot, and has just escaped the enthusiasm of the ladies of Tria, and has come from the ancient kingdom of Syracuse. ”

"Syracuse Kingdom?" Lucien smiled and nodded to Rhine, the Dark Mountains are so dangerous, even the real knights have died in them, so Lucian temporarily dismissed the idea of taking risks to seek wealth, no matter when, it is very important to have a clear understanding of his own strength.

Koenhalu laughed, his long golden beard shook violently, and his wrinkled dwarf face said in an ambiguous way that a man would understand: "Yes, it is the passionate, unrestrained, and love of the ancient kingdom of Syracuse. ”

When a drunkard appeared in the Rhine, he woke up, stumbled to the bar, burped, and asked with yearning and envy: "Rhine, ladies and ladies of Tria, are they as beautiful, well, and enthusiastic as they are legendary?"

With a faint smile, Rhine said in his own unique, elegant, rhythmic tone: "Well, they have bright eyes like morning stars, long silky hair, delicate lips like roses, milky skin, and perfume full of seductive smells, and several countesses and viscountesses even spit a warm, moist fragrance in my ears and invite me to their secret manor." ”

The drunken man asked expectantly, "Then what did you go?" and his breath became rapid.

Lucien was no stranger to such scenes, where a group of men got together, always discussing women, and listened with great interest, wondering how to ask Korn about learning words.

Rhine's expression did not change, and he still replied with a faint smile: "I told them, I don't like dirty things that have been used, I only love beautiful, pure, and clean life, whether it is male or female, they are the most delicious things in this world." ”

"Poof, Rhine, you really know how to brag, and the ladies and ladies will accept such an insult?"

"Haluha, if you really say that to the ladies of the court, I'm afraid you'll have been thrown into that famous prison in Tria, Hiccup. ”

"Those noble ladies, many of them have knightly strength, if you dare to answer like this, Rhine will be directly torn to pieces. ”

Rhine didn't care about the big smile of and the drunken man, and shrugged his shoulders slightly: "So, I fled from the ancient kingdom of Syracuse to Alto. ”

Cohen laughed and pounded the bar, waking up all the drunks, and shouted in the midst of the scolding, "Thank you Rhine for making up a good story, so that we can have a happy new day, a toast!"

The three or four drunks were very sensitive to "Cheers", and at once they stumbled over, took the ale from Cohen's hand, and held it high:

"To the braggart Rhine, a toast!"

After the commotion, Cohen saw that Lucian was still there, and asked in surprise, "Lucian, do you have anything else?"

Lucien organized the language and said carefully: "Uncle Korn, after the events of the past few days, I have a new idea, I want to learn words. ”

"Yo, learn the words, is our little Lucien also infected by the Rhine and started bragging?"

"Words, Ou, that's a big, brilliant ideal!"

"Lucian, leave them alone, men don't have dreams, Hiccup, it's better to die!"

Cohen laughed for a while, then looked at Lucian: "Do you really want to learn words? You don't have any foundation, if you want to learn words initially, it is said that it will take at least two years, do you have so much money and time?"

"No matter how many thorns lie ahead, if you don't take this step, you'll never be able to move forward, Uncle, I've figured it out. Lucien replied earnestly, and for an adult who has studied for many years, knows how to learn, and most importantly can speak the language fluently, it will probably only take a month or two to learn words.

saw that Lucian was so serious, so he replied seriously: "If you are young, you can also go to the convent to learn words and knowledge through the selection of the church, now, you either become someone else's apprentice and sign a ten-year contract, or spend your own money and go to a scholar's house to learn, of course, becoming someone else's apprentice, you may not be able to learn words, for example, many blacksmiths in the blacksmiths' guild will not, and spend your own money, the whole Aalto is the standard price, five silver nar a month, and more than ten scholars are willing to teach." ”

Lucien subconsciously ruled out the method of becoming someone else's apprentice, this is not a matter of a ten-year contract, once he decides to learn magic, then the contract does not need to be obeyed at all, but he can become an apprentice, and he learns, eats and lives with the master every day, it is easy to expose his secrets, and it is not convenient to learn magic, so Lucian asked as if he was talking to himself: "Five silver nars?"

Koen nodded: "Well, five silver nar, unless you are busy from morning to night, eating only the worst black bread, you can save enough for more than half a year, and how much can you learn in a month?

"Yes. Lucien replied firmly, that a hundred copper fils would be equal to one silver narr.

It was a tough start.
