Chapter 0008 - Watch Out for the Tail
The bartender waited for Alvin to sit down, scratched his head, and pulled a rag from the wound on the ground.
If he hadn't been a kid and was crouching on the ground, the guards would have kicked him away.
It was clear that the boy had asked for himself, but he did not dare to open his mouth.
In this era, it is not an exaggeration for nobles to find commoners to do things, and it is not an exaggeration to have a bad attitude, even if they are loyal slaves, no matter how good their subordinates are, they have to weigh and weigh things like nobles and lords.
Alvin wondered if the boy had been bored like this if he had pretended not to see it.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Alvin asked.
"Oh, yes, my lord. The little bartender was nervous and hesitated, "There is a blacksmith on South Street, and he is injured." The boy said, "Everyone has made up the medicine, and the medicinal herb shop on North Street has tried all kinds of herbs, of course, the effect is definitely not as good as the lord, grab a handful, and you will recover, and the effect is obvious." ”
As soon as the boy spoke, the noisy atmosphere of toasting as the wound healed fell silent for a while.
In this era, the blacksmith is basically a high-level scarce engineer, and it is very popular everywhere, and there should be only one in the entire salted fish town, and the big sword, spear, arrow, and auxiliary iron hook for fishing are all from the blacksmith shop.
Without blacksmiths, they all had to go back to the Stone Age, and many were waiting for the blacksmith to recover and open the furnace to strike iron.
"Blacksmith, oh, it's very important, go and see, it's all here anyway, Duozhi is one person, and it's not a few steps away. ”
"However, he was not injured while resisting the beast. ”
"No, none of the guys who resisted the injuries of the Demon Beast were less cheap to the master, and he didn't even care if the scar master gave him another one. ”
There was an old man over there who had been cheap, touching his face and smiling at the only cracked broken mirror in the tavern.
The handsome young bartender smiled brightly and showed two rows of white teeth: "Thank you, Lord Lord." ”
"It's not for you, what are you thanking for? ”
"His son is a good friend of mine. ”
"Chuck went to pour the wine and take care of the guests. The tavern owner shouted behind the counter.
It's not to take care of guests, the nobles eat people and don't spit out bones, and like the monsters, they are not friends of the commoners, he is very cautious and doesn't want to cause trouble.
The little bartender was about to run away, but was stopped by Alwin, "I'll rely on you to lead the way in a while." ”
Elwin pressed his sword to the hilt of his sword, turned his back to the counter, cleared his throat, and shouted at the fishermen, "Listen, good things are about to happen." ”
"The crow began to crow, and bad luck came. ”
"Sure enough, there are traps. ”
At the round table, the bearded Marlowe was toasting with several fishermen, and when he heard this, a sip of wine sprayed on the ground, and he snorted coldly: "You know, there will never be such a cheap good thing." The so-called lords are all lords who bring bad luck, and none of them are good. ”
But the fishermen were no longer monolithic, and many of them took the real benefit of Alwin's life-saving, and then they closed their rude mouths, and not many responded, except for the few diehards around the bearded Marlowe, still huddled together and hostile.
Alvin pointed at Marlowe and said, "Remember that your arm is mine, and the original words are 'yours too.'" He pinched his throat and made a joke, and the guards all smiled, but none of the fishermen cooperated.
"And my thighs, and my belly, and my trembling breasts...... Of course, the things that were rescued had to be used, but unfortunately the master of the skill was not good, and the people who saved it were not human, and it was wasted......"
"Hahaha......" Jared, who handed Alvin a two-handed sword, laughed out loud, and was immediately silenced by a cold glance from the captain of the guard.
Most of the fishermen didn't dare to look at Alwin, and looked down at the ground, looking like there were a lot of ants, and I was counting.
"If the kid has a fart, let it go, don't be a mistaken uncle for drinking. The guy who felt offended and had a claw scratched on his chest roared.
Alvin spread out a piece of parchment and shook it, "This is the notice...... It says you need to hire people, well, there's a lot of money involved, certainly not as good as five silver coins, but it's not a lot, hahaha......"
He laughed a few times, but the smile was fleeting, and he said coldly: "But the master has more important things to do, and he is not in the mood to waste saliva with you menacing guys, so I won't read the proclamation, just read it yourself." ”
"We are illiterate. The bearded Marlowe snorted coldly.
"It is reasonable to be illiterate, it is reasonable to be ungrateful, it is reasonable to be unruly, and it is reasonable to be disloyal. Alvin turned around and threw the notice in front of the tavernkeeper, commanding, "As the boss, you should know how to read, and read it to them." A flying dragon slapped on the bar, "Borrow the little bartender, this copper will give you a glass of wine, the kind that Baron Ben just drank, the water mixed with wine, oh, stinky water, remember to drink it." ”
After speaking, under the gaze of everyone, he took the guards and the little bartender, and strode towards the door.
"Hey! The bearded Marlowe shouted, "Take care of the lord, the lord's tail is hard and long, and it is dragged to the ground, be careful, don't step on it, especially when the door is closed, don't clamp it." ”
"Hahaha......"
He was referring to the sword, which hung from his waist with a great two-handed sword, but it was so long that it almost hit the ground.
Elwin pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword, turned around, shook his two-handed greatsword up and down, and coldly glanced at the rough and barbaric fishermen of the ancient ruffians and scoundrels of another world, full of ferocity to kill.
The guards' hands were also pressed on the hilt of their swords, and the two sides were deadlocked, staring at each other for a few minutes, the atmosphere was a little stagnant, and many people lowered their heads or turned their heads to look away, after all, with the benefit of Elwin, many people received this love, and they were no longer twisted into a rope like just now.
"My lord, they are all countrymen, they don't know the rules, please don't follow them......" Alwin raised his hand to stop the tavern owner who had come forward to persuade him to continue, and made a gesture of cutting his arm at Marlowe before sneering and striding out.
A voice came from behind him:
"This kid is a ruthless character!"
"Well, it's a little wolf cub, very killing and decisive, maybe not easy to mess with. ”
"It is said that magicians often go berserk and do harm to one party, not knowing this ......"
This is the effect that Alwyn wants, it is human nature to bully the weak and fear the hard, if they can't be suppressed, the trouble will be even greater in the future, and it is possible to lure the wolf into the house and cause trouble.
"My lord, our horse has been stolen, and the trail is going in that direction. The two guards at the door reported in fear.
They had been left to look after the horses, but when they heard that a fight was about to break out inside, they went in to help, but the thieves took advantage of the situation and all five horses were gone.
Poor mountains and bad waters, a nest in the house, and a group of people when they went out, Alwin sighed in his heart that this luck was really bad, but stealing a horse at the door of the tavern was not something that anyone dared to do.
"You know who did it, right?" said Alvin to Chuck, the little bartender.
"Salted Fish Gang. ”
"Salted Fish Gang?"
"Yes, every fishing boat that returns from the sea has to hand over a basket of salted fish, hence the name Salted Fish Gang, a local tyrant. ”
"Everywhere there are snakes. ”
No matter how big a bully is, it's no bigger than the lord, and this team of thieves is trying to repair it, and it just happens to be the object that can be used to establish authority.
Alwyn smiled and said to the captain of the guard, "Get the horse back." As for the group of salted fish, catch them all, don't kill them if you can, after all, the castle needs to be repaired, and the slaves who can work only need to take care of the food are one more. ”
It's best not to kill any of them, but Alvin doesn't want to talk too much about tying the captain's hands and feet, and he will win the battle first, and then talk about the casualties...... Those salted fish should be blessed with themselves.
"But you need protection, my lord. The captain of the guard frowned, "This place ......" He looked around and was not very relieved.
"A group of Diao people, rude and unreasonable, no one dares to make a mistake. "You take two people with you, and leave two people to protect me, without horses, our life will not be easy, why don't we walk back to the castle." ”
The captain of the guard pondered for a moment, and it was indeed important to recover the horses, so he answered and followed the horse's hoof prints to catch up.
Alvin took two guards, under the guidance of Chuck, the little bartender, to see the blacksmith all the way, and asked many details about Salted Fish Town, such as the population geometry, how many adults and children, how many carpenters and doctors, how many people were literate, etc.
Warm eyes shone on Alwin, his skin was burning, hot sweat, but his heart was cold, listening to Chuck's words, he sighed while walking, this is really a poor place, no food, no clothing, sparse population, fewer craftsmen, silver sand collar only silver sand everywhere, this poor and white start, it is simply forced to give up.
