Chapter 0006 - Soft and Hard Don't Eat

The ideals are plump, the reality is skinny, and no one welcomes them.

The horses' hooves clattered, the streets were deserted, and when they walked past someone's house, some people were hurriedly closing the doors and windows, and their eyes did not dare to look directly.

Some ragged children play in the streets, the big barefoot children chase a coconut and kick it around, playing a sport like a football, two fish baskets with large holes make goals, and a couple of old women sit next to them, watching a few little children clumsily toddle, take a few steps with their arms outstretched, and fall to the ground with their butts.

They slowed down and leaned over, and at first adults and children stopped to look around, some children exclaimed, "It's a big horse", some children shouted, "The clothes are so bright", then an old woman screamed, "They have big swords, they are robbers", and others added the most lethal sentence, "There is a monster above their heads".

Then, adults and children were surprised and unhappy, and the autumn wind swept away like falling leaves.

The five of them stood in the streets, fully armed, like five monsters, and they also carried a real monster: Feifei was a winged puppy or a four-legged bird, no matter how you looked at it.

There was only one place in the whole street where the door was open, and unlike the silence of the outside world, the people inside the door laughed loudly and uncontrollably, and there was an uproar.

Tavern.

I don't know what it's called, but its signboard reads "Tavern" directly.

Five men, five horses parked on the side of the street, the reins handed to the guards, and Alvin stood in the middle of the street, under the sun, without a single figure.

He looked at the shadow at his feet, shook his head, walked in the door, and stood at the door for a moment, compared to the heat and sun of the long street, the "tavern" was as black as a cave, and it was still full of inexplicable danger.

The long shadow dragged the floor until it reached the counter, and there was a guy as big as Fat Tom behind him watching him quietly, and the noise in the room instantly quieted down, looking at the brand-new silver-white leather armor, as if looking at a monster covered in a whole body.

"Hey, hairless boy, get out of there and block out our sun. โ€

A burst of laughter ensued.

After a few moments, Alvin saw that the room was large but had only one window and one door, and the sun could not shine through, so the light was naturally dim.

There were more than a dozen tables, large round tables and small square tables, and there were more than 20 people sitting in Lala, most of them with their breasts exposed, their chest hair was thick, and the muscles of their upper limbs were bulging, all of them were stronger than Kent, and compared to the captain of the guard, everyone looked like they were full of flesh and fierce looks.

Many of them had blood stains on their bodies, a few rough rags in front of them as bandages, hanging their arms, a few in the back touching some unknown black potion on their thighs, some of them had half of their foreheads covered, their eyes oozing blood, and one of them had a horizontal line on their chest.

A handsome big boy with a slightly sturdier body than him was working as a bartender, shuttling around, serving glasses, wiping tables, pouring wine, and so on.

The air was filled with a thick fishy smell, mixed with a faint smell of blood, the smell of inferior tobacco and herbs, and it made Alvin want to shed tears, but there was no smell of alcohol.

The bartender stepped forward and asked, "What do you want, sir, the food is sold out, only rye wine, a glass of dragon." โ€

There are three types of currency: gold, silver and copper, one gold coin for one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin for one hundred copper coins.

The obverse of the silver coin is the head of Queen Anna Horkana, and the reverse is a curved crescent moon, also known as the queen, the silver queen, Anna, the silver anna and even the crescent moon and the silver moon; as for the copper coin, the obverse is a flying dragon with wings spreading, and on the back is countless small stars, so it is also called copper, copper plate, copper star, copper dragon and flying dragon.

"A cup. Alvin walked to the counter with a copper coin in his fingertips.

There is only wine and no food, a veritable tavern, in the belly, copper coins are thrown over, and wine glasses are crossed.

"Poofโ€”"

Fishy, bitter, spicy, without the slightest smell of alcohol, like stinky fish soup mixed with chili water.

Black liquor in the mouth, conditioned reflex.

"When you see a living person, you can directly serve the stinky fish soup, doesn't the boss need to repeat the customer?"

"Hahaha......" The room burst into laughter.

"There is less wine, and there are more chili peppers......"

"Hahaha......"

But soon they stopped laughing, and Kent entered the door with two guards, stood beside Elwin, and shouted, "Hugh is presumptuous!" This is the lord of the Faroran kingdom and the supreme guardian of the realm, the descendant of the dragon, the lord and guardian of the silver sands appointed by Kaida II of the House of Sebastian, Baron Alvin Sebastian, the lords, and the lords...... Meet...... Your lords ......"

Alwyn threw down his glass and turned to look at his containers, most of whom were fishermen, ragged, dark-skinned, and fishy.

The bearded man at the front, with a wounded arm and wrapped in rags, dangling a fishing net, leaned down and cautiously asked, "What is the etiquette to meet the lord?"

"Take off your pants and fart!" someone in the room replied loudly with a long emphasis.

"Hahaha......" The people in the house staggered and laughed, and the laughter almost tore off the roof.

"is a big salute. โ€

"Hahaha......"

"I drank a stomach full of fake wine, and I only had ...... pee"

"Hahaha......"

According to the territory, the Silver Sand Territory belongs to the Faroran, and it has a large area on the map, but it is only a territory on paper, and it lacks effective jurisdiction. In the wind and rain of hundreds of years, this land is either high mountains or blue waves, and the small plain part is covered with silver sand, difficult crops, no crops, the territory has long since shrunk and dried up, leaving only uninhabited land, barren and abandoned outside the operation of the kingdom's jurisdiction.

In a closed world like Yinsha Ling, where materials are scarce and there is no circulation of goods, life and strength are everything.

The people here, going up the mountain, have encountered ferocious monsters and man-eating savages. When I went to the sea, I saw the stormy and stormy sea, and naturally I didn't take the momentum of the lord and knight in my eyes.

They are fierce and unruly, they are not afraid of danger, they are not afraid of death, and naturally they are not afraid of any authority, and they are not afraid of so-called lords and knights.

This is the reason why poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people.

They are not afraid of the sky, they are not afraid of the earth, their sleeves are empty, they only have one life, and they dare to play with anyone.

Therefore, it should not have any effect on the use of force and reasoning, and it cannot be used, there are not many laborers in the territory, and killing and disabling are a huge waste of human resources.

Elwin pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword and looked coldly at the room full of unruly fishermen.

The captain of the guard pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and shouted, "You are unreasonable to adults, you don't want to live anymore!"

"Kneel, make amends!" shouted the guards, their hands on the hilt of their swords, ready to draw their swords.

"The fish you eat, the coconut water and water you drink, the wood you use to build your house, the sand and sea, and the air you breathe belong to your lords! and even yourselves!" the captain of the guard proclaimed.

"Phew!" the bearded man picked up the iron axe, slammed the table over, and said angrily, "Grandma's, knock away a group of long-haired people, and come a group of iron shells, don't think that you are hard-skinned, that is, Lao Tzu's axe." โ€

"Would you like to try?" the captain of the guard and the two guards unsheathed their long swords, the tips of which pointed at the bearded man.

When there was a sound of chirps, clanging sounds, heavy objects knocking on the table, and the sound of iron and stone clashing, the big men in the room stood up in unison, and took out all kinds of inferior weapons from under the table, behind their backs, and in their arms, long swords were full of gaps like combs, and the broken meteor hammer could only be regarded as hammers, broken scythes and axes, rusty machetes, etc., and more wooden sticks with thick arms, and there were people who used stone hammers and stone axes.

Smelting technology was underdeveloped, metal was scarce, and it was especially expensive to use it as a weapon, and elaborate iron weapons only appeared on knights and soldiers, but fortunately these fishermen found a way to make up for the lack of sharpness, relying on weight, and they had strength anyway.

These miscellaneous weapons, inferior weapons, made the captain of the guard and the guards look down on them, and continued to reprimand: "Fishermen should fish well, and be careful to be regarded as pirates when they wield knives and guns." โ€

The bearded man sneered: "Are you scared of being beaten by pirates, little knight?

"I'm afraid that I can't stand it anymore because I'm hungry, so I have to come out to eat food, just like a monster. They can speak human words, but they don't do personnel, they are all brutes!"

"Do you want to learn to fish from Lao Tzu, the sea lady likes your little white face with fine skin and tender meat. The voice was yin and yang, and there was another burst of laughter.

"Lao Tzu doesn't want to eat, he doesn't want money, he has a life!"

"Lao Tzu, don't eat soft and hard, little cub, what do you think?"

The fishermen wielded inferior weapons, and the crowd was furious and unstoppable.

"You untouchables!" Kent and the two guards held their swords in both hands, a gesture of preparation before attacking, and the two guards in charge of guarding the horses also raised their swords and blocked the doorway, the situation tense.

Alvin patted the captain of the guard on the shoulder, told him to calm down, stood in front, spread his arms, and pressed down with his hands in the air a few times, signaling everyone to put down their weapons.

His face was as calm as water, but he sneered in his heart: "Don't eat soft and hard?" It sounds quite ambitious, but in fact, these guys have no discipline, and if they have milk, they are mothers, and they don't eat because of insufficient milk. โ€
