Chapter 190: Visitors from Hell (4)
The city of Finney is not small, but it is not too big.
Christopher's tavern had a new, young and beautiful maid, and the news spread through half of Finney that day.
Fiona received a large number of drinkers that evening, and many young drinkers came to the tavern counter again and again with silver or gold coins and pretending to be generous.
"Your wine, sir. "Fiona's shy words are more intoxicating than ale.
Christopher seemed to have guessed the scene, grinning at the counter.
Most of the drinkers obediently took their drinks and left, and a small number of daring people had already asked for Fiona's name.
Christopher was in a very good mood and was very pleased with Fiona's hospitality, a very sensible girl, not only young and beautiful, but also very understanding, and very serious about giving change to every drinker.
The tavern has not been so lively for a while, and many drinkers have gathered on many tables, chatting and exchanging various topics, and the atmosphere is very good.
The night was getting darker and deeper, and many of the drinkers began to leave one after another, and some of the drinkers didn't ask for wine much in front of the counter, they all shouted wine on the table, Fiona was still very serious about giving wine, but she only needed to put it on the counter, and there were other tavern helpers and a few tavern maids who would bring the wine to the table.
After a little bit of leisure, Toby, the young helper in the tavern, took a break to the counter and talked to Fiona with a smile on his face.
"Fiona, I'm not bragging, I'm the most well-informed person in all of Finney, except for Mr. Christopher. Toby was a little excited, he looked at Fiona's charming smile and felt that there were countless words he wanted to share with the beautiful girl in front of him.
Fiona smiled shyly and said "um", didn't say anything, quietly wiped the wine glasses on the counter, many wine glasses on the wine cabinet in the tavern were piled up with a lot of dust, some were even dirty, Fiona took off these dirty khaki glass wine glasses one by one and wiped them one by one.
After babbling on and on, Toby finally said what Fiona was really interested in!
After seeing that Fiona had been working hard and didn't seem to be interested in the many gossip he said, Toby was not discouraged, and finally whispered to her with excitement: "There are a lot of big things happening in Finney City this year, do you want to know?"
Fiona's heart moved, and a somewhat embarrassed smile appeared on her face and shook her head at Toby.
Seeing that she was indifferent, Toby continued to speak to her, "You don't know, that is really the biggest thing in the past few years. ”
"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else. Do you know magicians?" said Toby mysteriously.
Fiona's heart moved, still looking down to wipe the cup in his hand.
"I'll tell you secretly, a while ago, a heretic organization in Finney City was served in a pot! Several high-ranking magicians died! And there are even rumors that a hellish demon died in Finney City. Do you know the Great Demon, it's said to be as high as a city wall!" Toby said with a little excitement.
Hearing Toby's words, Fiona's eyes narrowed, his hand slowed down slightly, he slowly looked up at Toby, and said curiously, "Is there really a demon in this world?"
Toby's eyes lit up, and he quickly continued, "Of course. There have been rumors of a great demon before Finney City. Many people even saw the corpse of the Great Demon, although it was burned, but the huge skeleton, many people in the tavern saw it. Do you know? That bone is said to be as thick as an arm!"
"Is this true?" said Fiona with some suspicion as Toby.
Seeing Fiona's skeptical eyes, Toby instantly felt that his authority was being challenged, he looked left and right, and saw Christo talking with his back to them and talking to a guest at a wine table, he slowly lowered his body and said to Fiona: "This incident is not my bragging, it is a major event that really happened in Fiona City, but the news was suppressed by many people, so not many people know about it." Because there were so many people who died at that time, there were 3 high-level magicians, and a large group of intermediate and junior magicians. These people were pagans of the 'Templar Church'. ”
"How can the people of the church be heretics?" asked Fiona, frowning and puzzled, as he stopped his work.
"It's not the Church, it's the Templar Church, a demonic organization that has been in Finney for many years, and has recruited many heretics in private. And the power is very huge, before, even we didn't dare to provoke them, not only us, but even Viscount Tam was helpless against the 'Templar Church'. Toby said.
"Who is Viscount Tam?" asked Fiona curiously.
"Viscount Tam is the lord of Finney City, but he does not manage the affairs of the town, and some officials under him take care of the affairs of the town. Ahem, don't interrupt, let me tell you, after the 'Templar Church' was destroyed, hundreds of people were rescued, and all of these heretics who had been bewitched by those evil magicians had lost their minds one by one, just like the walking dead, and they didn't recognize their relatives. Toby whispered to Fiona.
Fiona hesitated for a moment, then said with a worried expression, "What about these people after they were saved?
"Of course. It is said that he was rescued by a group of mercenaries, and among these mercenaries was a very remarkable magician. Toby said excitedly.
"But how is this possible? how can a group of mercenaries and a single mage deal with so many high-level mages, and there are also terrible demons. Fiona looked incredulous.
"Well, I don't know about that, but many of the rescued people did say so, and a good friend of Boss Christopher was also captured by this 'Templar Church' before, and although he didn't see them later, he should have been rescued as well. Toby whispered.
Fiona asked curiously, "Did Mr. Christopher's friend also be captured by this 'Templar Church'?"
"Yes, it is said that they took on a mission to save a brainwashed infidel at that time, and Mr. Christopher persuaded them, but unfortunately they still did not listen to the persuasion, and insisted on saving people, but they did not save anyone, and all of them were arrested, but they were lucky, and within two days the 'Templar Church' was destroyed. Toby said, leaning on the counter with his arms outstretched.
Fiona looked at Toby, looked him in the eye, smiled and slowly asked, word by word, "What is the name of this Mr. Christopher's friend?"
Toby looked directly into Fiona's seductive eyes, lost focus and replied, "It's called Kassan." ”
