That night, Bruce and Jimmy left after they were exhausted. The two were full of praise for the wine, and they were very happy to make Xu Zheng, a friend. Xu Zheng got Carlo's reminder, and subconsciously restrained a lot, not daring to be too public, just drinking with the two.

After the two of them walked away, Carlo walked to Xu Zheng's side, watched Xu Zheng drink citrus wine with a smile, and said slowly: "That beautiful man is the famous Lily Baron of the Imperial Capital Zion. Among the younger generation of swordsmen, he is currently ranked third. ”

Xu Zheng nodded, the temperament of the two of them could not be concealed if they were either rich or noble, and it was not unusual to be a baron.

Carlo said again: "That Bruce is the current eldest prince of Cheng'an Kingdom, Bruce Han Muse. ”

Xu Zheng's mouthful of citrus wine sprayed a sky full of wine mist.

"Really?" Xu Zheng shouted, "He's a prince who handed me over to a civilian in Xiacheng District, it's too, isn't it?"

Carlo smiled bitterly, "The swords are all borrowed from you." It can't be fake. ”

"Is there any special significance in borrowing a sword?" Xu Zheng said in confusion.

Carlo frowned: "I can't stand you." The swordsmanship is weird and unknown, and Jimmy can't please you without fighting spirit. With such swordsmanship, he doesn't even understand the meaning of borrowing a sword. Where the hell did you come from? Like you're from another world. ”

Xu Zheng's heart jumped, although Carlo's words were not true, they were not far away. At that moment, he said: "Tell me about the meaning of borrowing a sword." ”

Carlo explained. Xu Zheng was dumbfounded for a long time before he said: "It seems that I am poor and white, and there is nothing to attract the two nobles." ”

"Oh?" Carlo raised his eyebrows and said, "If you think about what you did after coming to the imperial capital, fortunately you were brought back by me, otherwise I would have tried my best to make friends with someone like you." Such a capable friend, who doesn't want to know one. ”

Xu Zheng was stunned, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he was really good. Thinking of this, his face suddenly fell, and he said, "No wonder Uncle Carlo wants to remind me to keep a low profile, I am really more flamboyant." ”

"It's not a bit of publicity. It's quite flamboyant. Seeing Xu Zheng's face quickly darken, Carlo couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry about the trouble, I think the prince and the baron really have friends with you." I watched from the sidelines for a long time, and I couldn't see that the two of them showed any thoughts about you, as if they were really interested in you and just made friends on an equal footing. ”

Xu Zheng said dejectedly: "But it seems that as soon as you get into this kind of luxurious person, you will be in trouble." They are not simpler than ordinary people, and high society is like a lump of mud, and whoever is caught in it will be entangled. It's a circle of right and wrong, and it's better not to get it if you can. ”

Carlo was surprised, but he didn't expect this to come out of Xu Zheng's mouth, he thought that this kid should be very proud of making friends with two incredible characters. And it is not strange for these words to come out of the mouth of a person who has a deep understanding of the upper class, but it is a little strange from the mouth of a young man like Xu Zheng, especially from the mouth of a person who has no intersection with the upper class.

looked at Xu Zheng in surprise, but heard him hesitate for a moment, and then said, "Then should I avoid them?"

"What do you think of them?"

Xu Zheng said: "Although Jimmy is a little weird. Well...... It can't be said to be weird, people, they always have their own characteristics. I think Jimmy is quite characteristic, his weird style, uh...... Oh, yes, it's kind of like a protective color of the ego. In general, both of them are expensive but not arrogant, and they are not the kind of guys who look down on people. And Bruce is steady and humble, hearty and enthusiastic, and Jimmy is also very straightforward, I quite like these two people. To be honest, I really kind of want to make these two friends. I can feel that these two people also sincerely want to make friends, and they don't mean anything else. I'm not very good at dealing with people, Uncle Carlo, what do you say, can you make friends? If people really want to make friends, it would be too much to refuse. ”

Carlo nodded and said, "If you want to hand it over, you can hand it over." I'm just reminding you that once you come into contact with these people, they are not as ordinary and simple as the people in the lower city, and you have to learn to protect yourself. Don't get involved in anything dangerous. ”

Xu Zheng smiled and said, "Got it." Uncle Carlo, I know you care about me and fear that I am in danger. Don't underestimate me, my true skills haven't been shown yet. And I know I should keep a low profile. Yes, it must be low-key. Touching his nose, he couldn't help but say again: "You are really like my father, you are so long-winded that you are to death." ”

"Stinky boy, who wants to be your father?" Carlo scolded with a smile, reaching out to pat Xu Zheng's head.

Xu Zheng didn't dodge or dodge, and let Carlo shoot right. After seeing the sword competition with Jimmy, I knew what kind of skill Xu Zheng was, and I knew how easy it was for Xu Zheng to dodge his own shot, and suddenly it was easy to shoot, Carlo was stunned, and after understanding Xu Zheng's clear flattery, Carlo couldn't help but warm his heart, put his big palm on Xu Zheng's head, and stroked it a few times before he smiled: "Stinky boy, I can't do it if I don't like you." I don't think anyone is better at flattering than you. Go! Hurry up and get rid of the last drunkard, pack up and go to bed. You're going to have to tidy up tomorrow, no, in your words, it's called decorating your snack bar. ”

"What about Aunt Lucina, she's the store manager, she should do this kind of red-faced thing, right?" Xu Zheng said with a cross-face.

Carlo said, "Over there, you see what she's doing." ”

Xu Zheng turned his head to look, but saw Lucina lighting a huge wax candle, counting the coins, while pulling a rag to carefully wipe the coins in her hand, the expression on her face was so proud, and her face was about to bloom. The aunt threw herself on the table, put a pair of super big breasts in all directions, piled up on the counter in a very exaggerated shape, and counted the money with her eyes, and her face was full of Eugenie Grande's classic expression.

Xu Zheng choked on his own saliva: "My God...... Turns out that Aunt Lucina is also a strong man!"

Carlo squinted at Xu Zheng and said, "What do you think, after being poor for so long, of course you are crazy with joy when you suddenly see so much money." Turning his head to look at Lucina, Carlo smiled: "How can a boss count money in front of the guests so indecently." I helped her go inside and count. ”

Before Carlo could get to Lucina, she heard Lucina say in a loud voice: "My dear god of light, a lot of money! I can't count it, brother, come and count it for me! Gold coins, I love it to death! Sins and sins, great god of light, please don't mind." It's not that I don't love you. Hey, Carlo, the tuition for the Kindergarten and Nursery classes is there, and you can buy new bows and arrows, and I'm still expanding the tavern, and I'm going to ask someone to help, but I can't do it. Hey, hurry up, or you'll be too late until dawn!"

Carlo turned around and smiled at Xu Zheng, and dragged the embarrassed Lucina into the house to count the money.

Xu Zheng retracted his eyes from the two of them angrily and funny, and forced the villain to drive away the only drinker.

Before they could get closer, the figures of the two siblings, Carlo and Lucina, had just disappeared from the courtyard gate, and the drinker stood up. Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and only said that this person was going to settle the bill and leave. It's so good that he doesn't need to force people out.

saw that the man walked straight towards Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng was stunned and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to close, I'll drink it tomorrow, okay?"

The man walked up to Xu Zheng and began to undress.

Xu Zheng was suddenly sweating......

God, it can't be that you don't have any money for alcohol and plan to pay off your wine debts, right?

Xu Zheng suddenly panicked and shouted, "Stop! I'm not interested in men." Don't take it off! I'm very average-looking, you don't think about that, do you?"

The man did not speak, but undressed quickly, untying his clothes and lifting them quickly.

"Huh?!" Xu Zheng opened his mouth and stared at the inside of his clothes.

There were two people hiding in there! One of them was riding on the shoulder of a long gray beard, and both of them looked at themselves with a smile, but who were the two dwarves who had escaped from the blade smithy?

Xu Zheng opened his mouth wide: "You...... You...... You guys!"

The short-bearded one jumped off the shoulder of the gray long-bearded dwarf, pointed to his nose, and said, "The names of the dwarves are very long, I'll keep them short." I am Haze-Radu-Chi-Moranka-Door-Irihod-Brandon-Jin- (100 words omitted in the middle) - Bafili Morur Ze - Cloud - Shortbeard. It's not easy to remember if you omit it, remove the middle one, just take the head and tail, and you can call me Haze Shortbeard. ”

Xu Zheng's face was suddenly covered with sweat...... If you say it all, I'm afraid you'll have to talk all night......

The other dwarf was just about to open his mouth, but Xu Zheng hurriedly said, "Please only say the head and tail." ”

The dwarf smiled and said, "Elich Greybeard." ”

Xu Zheng said: "Why did you come here? I thought you had escaped from the imperial capital and returned to the dwarven homeland. ”

Iliqi said: "How can it be so easy. The image of the dwarf is too different from that of a human, and if they dress up like just now, they only dare to come out at night when there are many people. In fact, there are a lot of flaws, if it weren't for the fact that there are so many people here and everyone is drinking, we wouldn't dare to stay for a long time. ”

Haze licked his lips and looked over the bottle, saying, "That beer tastes so good! It tastes a bit like Dwarven Ale, but it tastes a little better than Dwarven Ale, but it tastes many times better than Dwarven Ale." You humans are really good at making wine! ”

Xu Zheng brought the wine, and Haze praised again: "Human boy, I remember that your name is Xu Zheng." It's amazing, this brewing technique is not covered. It's delicious!"

Looking at this coarse nervous guy who obviously didn't know about sorrow and trouble, Xu Zheng couldn't laugh or cry. It seems that this guy should be concerned about how to settle down now, rather than evaluating the quality of the wine here. Xu Zheng asked, "What are you going to do?"

Ilic sighed: "After the two of us escaped from the blade overnight, we have been hiding for nearly ten days, and the appearance and size of the dwarves make it difficult for us to find food and hidden traces in the crowd. We only dare to come out at night in the same way as we just did to meet the necessities of life. It's hard. ”

"Why don't you escape from the city and go back to your hometown?" Xu Zhengqi said.

Iliqi said: "It's hard. We were blindfolded all the way to here, we don't know the way back, and from what we have seen, we don't know what's going on, the imperial capital has been secretly strengthening its defenses, and the security is getting tighter and tighter, and in the form of dwarves, there is no way to get out at all. And we didn't know where to go or how to get back. Then last night, I suddenly heard the name of the wilderness, and we thought ......" The expression on his face became embarrassed, and he rubbed his left and right hands together at a loss, and the expression on his face was begging and hesitating.

Haze raised his beer bottle to the sky and poured it happily, and said loudly: "If there is anything to say, we are here to beg him to take him in." ”

Yiliqi and Xu Zheng glanced around in unison, and when they saw that no one else was relieved, they breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Be quiet!"

Haze put down the bottle heavily, with wine on his face, looked at Xu Zheng with straight eyes, and said, "In a word, Xu Zheng, you will accept the two of us, right?"

Ilic became nervous, subconsciously rubbed his hands, and stared at Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said categorically, "Accept, of course!"

When the two dwarves were released, they sympathized with the inhumane treatment of these two outstanding craftsmen. Things have begun, and at this time, I saw that the two dwarves had no place to stay, and they could not stand idly by. There is no way for two dwarves to survive independently in human society without help. What's more, he also likes these two dwarfs very much, they are like simple-minded scientific and technological workers, who usually seem to be unpretentious, but when they come to the professional field, they show dazzling brilliance. Such an excellent dwarf should not be treated unfairly, let alone be a prisoner or a slave. Now that they are in trouble, why don't they help?

"Just make this your home. Welcome!" Xu Zheng smiled. Then he groaned for a while, and said, "It's better to be like this, the tavern is crowded and miscellaneous, let's go live in the newly opened snack bar next door." Just live there with peace of mind, have the right opportunity, and then find a way back to your hometown when you find your way home, do you think this is good?"

Ilic let out a long sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you! Thank you so much!" Haze stretched out his finger and praised: "I'll just say, Xu Zheng is different from those humans! He will definitely help us!" Looking up at his head for another while, his eyes were straighter after pouring it, and he said loudly: "Xu Zheng, I like you! You are different from them, I can see it by looking at your eyes! Hahaha, I am so happy, well, the wine is too good! How about I sing you a dwarf toast? My voice is one of the top few in the clan!"

Xu Zheng and Yi Li were so shocked that they let Haze make a fuss? The two of them reached out in unison, one grabbed Haze, and the other tightly covered his mouth. Haze struggled under the hands of the two, and glared at the two who stopped him unwillingly, looking at the situation, he just wanted to break away and sing that toast.

Xu Zheng's head was furious, he quickly took out the key and handed it to Yiliqi, and said, "Get him over, find a place to live, and you can watch where you live." By the way, my Warcraft brother also lives over there, you have my smell on you, don't be afraid of it, it won't hurt. ”

Before he could say thank you, Ilich nodded, pulled his beard out of Haze's hand, and forcibly carried the drunken guy to the snack bar.

"Xu Zheng! Come and see, how much money we made from selling wine tonight! Hahaha, it's so exaggerated!" Carlo's excited voice came from inside.

Xu Zheng was stunned, and hurriedly glanced at Yiliqi and told him to leave quickly, and he responded: "It's coming!" and walked inside.
