Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Night of the City of Tara Khan
Because of the tiger's affairs, the panda is not in a good mood.
When he was in a bad mood and couldn't sleep well, he simply got up and went out and wandered around the city of Tarakhan.
Because of the "Legendary Paladin Damnation Battle Boss" in front, and the adventurer team vs. the Demon Legion behind, the atmosphere in Tara Khan City is quite tense now, walking on the street, from time to time there will be a patrol of soldiers passing by, and many soldiers look at the panda's eyes, which can not be said to be friendly.
The panda's helmet does not have a mask, and the bearman's face can be seen clearly. The patrol soldiers were not as particular about "if you don't cause trouble" as the city gate guards, but rather they were keen to cause trouble—for them, causing trouble meant good, or money, or merit.
However, they only dared to look at the panda with a provocative gaze.
Even among the orcs, the bears are a particularly brave and combative group. If you anger this bear man, maybe everyone can kill him, but the person who caused the trouble will probably die.
The patrol soldiers wanted to make meritorious service and get rich, but they definitely didn't want to die.
If they don't want to die, they can only keep their mouths shut.
The panda, of course, could see the provocation in their eyes, and he smiled coldly, put on a blind look, and walked straight past the patrolling soldiers, without even the slightest response.
He had heard a great quote – the greatest contempt was ignorance. Although he can't appreciate the spirit of this sentence very well, it does not prevent him from pretending to be a force according to this sentence.
It turned out to work well.
As he casually walked past the patrolling soldiers, he distinctly heard the sound of gnashing teeth and even drawing swords from behind.
But the patrol soldiers were just drawing their swords after all.
Although they discriminate against orcs, they are not stupid. A person who has the confidence to look down on a patrol is either stupid and bold, or a real master. The possibilities are roughly the same, but for them, encountering the latter is annihilation - although there are resurrection spells in this world, they are extremely limited and costly, and they cannot afford to enjoy it.
Panda won the game so lightly, and walked leisurely into a tavern on the side of the road.
According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, he came to the counter of the tavern and ordered an ordinary bottle of wine.
The wine was delivered quickly, and he was not in a hurry to drink, but asked the bartender if there was any work he could do.
The bartender looked at him with some embarrassment, was silent for a moment, then took back the bottle and poured him a glass of wine.
"I invited you. The tall, lanky bartender said, "I don't really have a job for you here." ”
"Is the city of Tarakhan so peaceful?" asked the panda in surprise, "I have the impression that even in the most peaceful places, there is always work to be done—otherwise everyone will come out and mingle, what will they eat?"
The bartender smiled bitterly, but a tall adventurer not far away laughed: "Now the situation in Tara Khan City is so tense, you are an outsider, and you are an orc, how dare he give you the task to do?"
Only then did the panda understand, and then looked at the bartender, and asked, "There is no such ......" He made a gesture to wipe his neck with a knife, "It doesn't matter whether it is horizontal or vertical?"
"Not really. The bartender replied, "Since the group of 'Heroes of Tara Khan' came out, these more difficult and easy-to-kill tasks have been solved by them. Now the tasks I have at hand are not too difficult and more credit-oriented. ”
The panda was helpless, sighed, and still took out a silver coin: "Then just give me something, I can't run for nothing, it's always okay to drink two cups." ”
The big man walked over with a smile: "That's right! How can everything go well in the rivers and lakes! When you are happy, you will drink two glasses and be happy, and when you are unlucky, you will drink two glasses and get drunk to relieve your worries." This friend is very raw, I don't know where he came from?"
He looked very grinning and very bold, but the panda could clearly see that his footwork was quite exquisite, and if the panda turned his face and moved, he could retreat behind a nearby table as soon as possible.
Obviously, this is a person who uses a rough appearance to hide a delicate heart, which should not be underestimated.
"I'm from the steppe. "It's been a long way to go. ”
"The wind and rain have been smooth over there in the past few years, and life is very good, what are you doing in the south?"
"I heard an elder say that life is about a trip once in a while. The panda replied, "The old man is too old to walk, and laments that he didn't go out much when he was young, and he spent his whole life watching the sky and grass in the grassland." So I thought, while I'm young, I'm going to walk around. ”
The rough man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that this bear man, who was as burly as a big pillar, turned out to be a romantic full of art, and he didn't even know how to talk for a while.
Fortunately, his companion, a tall and well-proportioned woman, spoke: "Some time ago I heard a passing bard sing a very interesting song, in which two lines said, 'Life is not only in front of you, but also poetry and distant fields'...... If you meet him, you will definitely have a common language. ”
The panda was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does that bard look like?"
"He's taller than you, with bright red hair, a big nose ring, and a six-stringed harp that you can use as a weapon at any cost, with a low and melodious sound, and a simple, bright tune that is very pleasant. ”
The panda was silent for a moment, and then asked, "The appearance you said is a little strange—is this really a bard?"
"I don't know. "That night, around this time, he walked in with a smile." We thought he was looking for a job—he was so tall and strong, after all, but he said, 'Are you free, come and listen to my songs?'...... Then he took the strange six-stringed instrument off and sang as he played. ”
"What songs did he sing?"
"There are four songs in total, one is this, one is 'There is a girl in the village named Xiaofang', one is 'That's the person I have loved deeply day and night', and one is 'You ask me how much I love you'...... It's all good tunes that I haven't heard before. The woman who looked at the costume was supposed to be a ranger said, "It's a pity that he left with a smile after singing, neither taking a copper coin nor introducing himself...... What a dashing person!"
The panda was silent.
He was already sure that this "very dashing bard" was most likely an acquaintance of his.
"Speaking of which, before I met him, I really didn't know that you orcs had such good bards among them. The rough man said, "I thought he was a minotaur samurai." ”
"He's a minotaur?" asked the panda, feigned surprise.
Several of them laughed, apparently proud of the little trick they had played on him.
"That's right, he's a minotaur, a very special minotaur. The bartender said.
The panda nodded secretly, that guy was indeed a very special minotaur. Obviously a shaman by profession, but he often inserts a totem pole and starts singing on the battlefield, and that guy is the only one.
ID "Niu Toshinobi", alias "Sheen Kaolin", is one of the traversers, one of the members of the troublemaking team who came with him last time.
