Chapter Seventy-One: The Enlightenment of a Halfling Girl
Maybe she was a little carried away, and her words were a little bigger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć This immediately caused the elves who were dining next to her to prick up their ears and glare angrily in her direction without a trace.
This demonstrative act caused the halfling girl to immediately shrink her neck. But it ushered in the angry eyes of Hiko and Qiong. And as the eyes of the two of them turned vicious, the Nords in the entire tavern sneered maliciously at the elves.
This is the territory of the Nords, and there are only a few elves, and they really don't have the qualifications to come here to show off. The surrounding situation made several high elves quickly recognize the harsh reality. They also learned that if they stayed like this, it was very likely that they would be severely trained by these Nord brothers. This is not something that their poor little bodies can withstand. So soon, they pulled out the coins and put them on the table, and left without even saying hello.
And seeing the grizzled elves leave the place almost by running like foxes chased by hounds, the Nord men in the tavern laughed heartily.
The laughter almost shook the roof of the tavern, but it didn't detract from the high nature of all Nords. Even Hiko was no exception, he held up the freezing point in his hand and stood up directly.
"Thank you all for taking care of my new friend, anyway. Today's wine money is all mine, everyone can enjoy the carnival!"
As soon as the voice was spoken, it was immediately overshadowed by even greater cheers. Almost every Nord had a smile on their faces, and of course, they weren't going to be polite to Hiko, and everyone began to pour wine frantically into their stomachs.
The Nords are recognized as the most drinkable race in the world, and they are also the easiest to get themselves drunk. People who can drink are generally not in moderation, so the end result is often drunk. However, the physical fitness of the Nords is there, and even if they are drunk, it just makes them talk a little more nonsense.
"Yan boy is good, and he is more bold than all the Nords when he treats him. ā
"This guy has grown up, and if you want me to say, he must be so bold in order to show off in front of the girl next to him. ā
"Ha, don't say it. The girl next to him is really good-looking, and she looks like a fertile person. But the little one? Who carried a two- or three-year-old child to the tavern?"
"Don't talk nonsense, maybe this is what that little guy Yan secretly made with the girl next to him a few years ago. Hey, I see he's having a headache right now, how to go about seeing him!"
Men all over the world are almost a virtue, and in this drunken situation, they are simply sorry for their body shape if they don't make some yellow jokes. However, Hikoko is used to this. But the dome couldn't take this sentence as a deaf ear. Under Hiko's gaze, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had never had a good temper, had already put her hand on the elven treasure behind her.
There was no need to doubt her courage to fight, just looking at her constantly trembling body, Hiko already knew that she was about to take it back. So he immediately reached out and pressed her palm, and whispered to her.
"Control yourself a little, it's just a joke. Just listen to it!"
"What are you kidding, it's not you who is being insulted!"
Qiongxiao's face flushed, and it was obvious that she couldn't get used to the rude jokes of these big men. Of course, what she couldn't stand even more was that Hiko prevented her from having her emotions attacked. This made her immediately turn her anger on Hiko, and this naturally ushered in Hiko's rebuttal.
", the main person who is obviously muttered is me, okay. And when it comes to being insulted, the most ruthless person who has been hacked here hasn't said anything yet!"
As soon as Hiko said this, Dome immediately turned his attention to Kolori. At this time, the halfling girl who was squinting her eyes and enjoying the freezing point with a happy expression saw that she was looking at herself, and immediately swallowed the dessert in her mouth vigorously, and then said with an indifferent expression.
"This kind of thing is normal in a tavern. Besides, Kolori can't beat them. ā
A very practical sentence, and it also made the dome realize a key problem. She can't beat the Nord men here.
Although it is said that it is the master disciple of the Sword Saint, it is the princess of the entire Nord people. But that doesn't mean she's already reached extraordinary levels of force right now. On the contrary, as a thirteen-year-old girl, her combat effectiveness can only be described as a few tenths of a percent. Of course, this conversion target is an adult Nord. But this is enough to prove how much of a threat these children are in front of the Nords.
It can be said that as long as the dome dares to tease the hooves, these big men who have drunk high will definitely not mind giving her a little color to see. Although they won't do anything excessive, at least they can let this girl know what kind of attitude they should maintain towards adults.
Dome is not stupid, she quickly figured out this kind of thing in her heart. And this made her have to vent her anger on Hiko again.
She kicked Hikoko hard under the table, but was dodged by Hiko, who had been prepared. Then, he smiled defiantly at the dome, and then turned his gaze to the halfling girl.
"Kolori, what are your plans for the future?"
"Going?" Nodding her little head, a sweet smile appeared on Kolori's face. "Kolori doesn't have any other plans for the time being, so one step at a time. Areste is so big, I can always find something to do. ā
Although I wanted to tell this little guy that Arest was big, there was no room for an adventurer like her. But after thinking about it and thinking about it, Hiko decided that it was better not to hit him. From his point of view, there is a strong element of adventure in Kolori's nature. Since she liked it and made it his ideal, there was no reason for him to stop her from doing anything.
So he just lifted the cup in his hand, and then gave the halfling girl an encouraging smile.
"Then I'll wish you a great time in Arest. Besides, I need to warn you that in two months' time, the cold winds of Arest will start to stir up, and that staying in this place at that time would not be a wise choice for a foreigner?"
"Thank you for the reminder. In fact, Kolori, I'm going to leave here with the last merchant ship of humanity after two months!"
"Now that you've got a plan, I don't have much of it. With that, Hiko stood up and smiled at the halfling girl. "Anyway, good luck, Kolori. Also, I'll see you in the future!"
After saying this, Hikotou walked away without looking back. Seeing Hiko's actions, Dome hurriedly stood up, waved his hand at Kolori, and strode after Hiko.
The two of them acted so suddenly that Kolori didn't figure out what was going on for a while. And when he saw a few sneaky humans sneaking up behind the dome, she immediately understood what was happening.
From the various performances in the tavern just now, many people can see that Hiko is a Nord boy with a huge amount of money. And such a teenager will always make people feel a little greedy. After all, compared to adult Nords, a pair of teenagers and girls are much easier to deal with. As long as you can get the two of them, then at least you can make a good windfall.
For most people, though, the idea is just in their heads. After all, this is the territory of the Nords, and with the character of the Nords protecting the calves, once it is discovered that they are beating the attention of these two Nord teenagers, let alone the ones who make up their minds. I'm afraid that even the fleet that brought these men to Arest will be stabbed a few times.
The Nords were notoriously vicious on the sea, and the most popular thing for the Nords to do was to tie them up and catch sharks for those who dared to offend them. That kind of cruel behavior is enough to make people who have seen it unable to sleep at night.
But now it seems that there will always be some guys with a slimy brain. For example, those guys just now, I'm afraid they can't help but take a risk.
This judgment made Kolori frown, and then silently pressed the dagger behind her.
She is a thief, though her dream is to become a thief who robs the rich and the poor like the legendary halfling thief Frodo Nakins, or a legendary thief like Bilbo Naggins, the uncle of Frodo, who dares to brave the dragon's den, make a name for himself with his teammates, and enjoy the dragon's endless riches. But in reality, she's just an ordinary thief.
Relying on petty theft to make a living, at most, is to sneak into the mansion of a nobleman and steal some precious antiques and other things. Such a small person is not qualified to participate in anything. Although she has a dagger on her, the dagger can be of very limited use to her. She couldn't even beat a more vicious scoundrel, let alone a bandit or something like that.
This is also the status quo of most thieves, except for relying on dexterous craftsmanship to find some work. They can't do anything, and even if it weren't for the fact that they need to explore some traps, traps, and unlock some secret doors and locks, many adventurers may not want to think of them as their own kind.
They are the people at the bottom of the circle, and their behavior makes them not get any respect.
In fact, after all these years in the business, Kolori decided that she would no longer be respected. But today, one of her prey gave her such a special feeling. Respect, the enthusiasm of the two Nords made her experience this long-lost feeling. And this feeling also gave her the idea of raising her head again and being a person.
"I'm not garbage. ā
Silently muttering a word, Kolori put on her cloak and ran away into the crowd.
