Chapter 105: No News
"Haha, of course there is no problem with the money, let's take out the rye wine first!" The man seemed to have just discovered John, and he pulled out the chair at the bar and sat down without any embarrassment, and then pointed behind him: "Of course, I am only responsible for drinking, and the boss behind me is responsible for the payment." ”
At this time, John realized that there was another person coming in behind the mercenary man, but when this person came in, it was facing John, so that Barron could not see the face of this person, and he was carrying a large package behind his back, and the other party's figure was blocked by a huge shield in this person's hand, so that John couldn't see who it was for a while, but he felt quite familiar, especially in this person's other hand, carrying a giant axe that John was even more familiar with.
Before John could call out his name, the man had already put down the tower shield and battle axe in his hand, then turned around and said to John with a smile: "Two glasses of rye wine, count my account!"
As he spoke, Barron expertly pulled away and sat down on the bar of the inn, directly sitting next to Suta.
"Why are you back again?" John, the innkeeper, felt his head grow when he saw Barron.
"Why, don't you welcome me?" Barron smiled as he looked at John's old face, and he felt that John didn't mean to be surprised at all, but seemed to be more frightened than surprised.
John rubbed his forehead, he originally wanted to befriend Baron, after all, there would be a lot of bright and dark benefits when he befriended a junior knight, even if he was wanted by the four major lords, as long as he was not wanted in Banluo Town, it had nothing to do with him.
But now it's different, although there is no clear evidence now, but the news that has been coming from Yezi Town for the past few days, plus the corpses of the 28 mercenaries left behind by Barron when he left, all corroborate the fact that the young man who is not yet 20 years old sitting in front of him definitely has the strength of an intermediate knight, but this young man still lacks some experience in fighting against strong people of the same level, but this is only a matter of time.
And the last one who could be promoted to an intermediate knight before the age of 20 like Barron has only one person for hundreds of years, and that is the [Jewel Sword] that is still in the royal capital, which means that Barron is likely to be the next big knight.
If it was just an intermediate knight, John would probably be more inclined to make friends, but if this intermediate knight had the potential of a great knight, but he was an enemy of the four major lords, then it would make John hesitate and even start to worry.
And although Barron has not been away from Banluo Town for a few days, but in just a few days, John has heard that Yez Town has a large number of troops of Count Harold stationed, and they are all harassed by Barron, and even a junior knight of Harold's army died at the hands of Barron, and Barron seems to have a deeper and deeper hatred with the four lords.
To put it mildly, John was timid and retreated, he knew his position very well, and this kind of game between aristocratic forces was not something that a small person like him could play at all.
Although Barron didn't know his position at this time, John knew that if he had too much contact with Barron, it was very likely that he would not get the benefits at that time, and he would have fallen into it first.
Because Barron doesn't talk about whether he can finally be promoted to the Great Knight, if he has frequent contact with Barron, will he cause a kind of misinformation to other people or other forces that deliberately woo Barron, and when the forces that really want to win over or get rid of Barron appear, he will not let go of some people who have been in contact with him, such as John himself.
If John really wants to win over Barron, it doesn't matter, but he doesn't have this plan, although John has always been just a low-level intelligence merchant in the Nader Kingdom, or a part-time intelligence merchant, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid, years of experience have made him feel the abnormality of the recent period.
Whether it was the strange behavior of the four lords recently, or those frizzy mercenaries, John felt an indescribable emotion, as if something was happening that he didn't know or hadn't discovered.
It's a pity that he is just a small low-level intelligence businessman, unlike those real intelligence agencies, who have unimaginable intelligence networks, and therefore have no way to know specific movements, so he can only rely on his years of experience to avoid some risks.
In fact, John had recently planned to sell the hotel and go south to avoid the limelight, but because the hotel was not so easy to sell for a while, he delayed it, and this delay met Barron again.
"How could you not be welcome, Banluo House is always open for you!" Banluo House is the name of John's Inn, and John's idea at this time is that as soon as someone takes over the hotel, he will immediately go to the south to stroll, as for the next time Barron comes to Banluo House in the future, it will have nothing to do with him.
"If you're welcome, bring out the wine, we've been sitting here for a long time. Barron said with a smile.
After a while, John poured a glass of rye wine for Barron and Suta, although John didn't want to have too deep contact with Barron at this time, but he dared to refuse Barron's words, when the time came, there would be no need for the four lords or anyone else to do it, just Barron and his companions could tear down the hotel to the ground in minutes, and if they were lucky, they could save a small life, and even if they were killed by Barron if they were unlucky, the security team would not take care of it.
This is the privilege of the strong that there is no explicit privilege on the continent of Bogdanor, but when this privilege is really used, it is still a very small part.
Barron picked up the rye wine on the bar, took a sip, and couldn't help but say, "Well, you didn't fool me with the watered inferior goods this time, it seems that you have grown, John!"
Hearing Barron say this, John couldn't help but roll his eyes, who let him sell wine to Barron for the first time was caught by a current, and was also seen by other mercenaries in the hotel, so that he never dared to sell water-mixed wine after that time, although the profit is still there, but compared to the beginning, it is worse I don't know how many times.
"And what happened to you coming back this time?" John asked, looking at Barron.
Hearing John's question, Barron put down the wine glass in his hand, and then said in a serious tone: "I came back this time to ask if there is any latest news about Curtain City, or information related to Curtain City, of course, I will pay the corresponding money." ”
"Curtain City!?" John didn't know why Barron suddenly asked about Curtain City, but the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger, and soon John suppressed this uneasiness in his heart, and then said bluntly: "No! There is no news about Curtain City!"
