The sign of the port tavern has a golden rose carved into it, exactly the same as it was a few months ago. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe people of the Kingdom of Tarun have an unusual hobby for roses, and many places are imprinted with roses. It was not long before dawn came, and the tavern was only a few sailors ready to set sail, and it was a tradition for sailors to drink a glass of warm wine before sailing. The wine that warms the heart and spleen can not only refresh the mind, but also help him to dispatch the anxiety of a long journey.

Sailors were probably one of the most dangerous professions of this era, and no one knew if they would ever be able to return to their homeland.

This old tavern didn't seem to have been favored by the rebuilding of the royal capital, and it was almost unchanged from before Lin Qiu left. The owner of the tavern was Tom - the most common name in the kingdom of Talen, and there were at least three or four of the uncles and aunts in the night market.

Here, when they can't think of a great name, adults call their children Tom or Peter. Tom is already a gray-haired old man, and according to legend, his wife and children died in the war ten years ago, and after the war subsided, he opened a shop here, and no one knows how long he will live, and no one cares.

To ordinary people, it doesn't matter who Tom is, and probably only these resident drinkers can remember his name. Lin Qiu had been a guest bard in this tavern for most of the year—a bard who couldn't sing and squeezed a paltry tip from the drinkers by his eloquent talent.

Tom always felt that Lin Qiu was incompetent and disrespectful, and kept saying that he would get rid of him one day, but "driving him" didn't have an effect for more than half a year, but made Lin Qiu and the drinkers get acquainted. Some of these drinkers are in the same group as the uncles and aunts in the night market, and everyone turns a blind eye to Lin Qiu's "business ability".

The only change here is probably that Tom has finally found a bard who can sing.

The girl with the harp did not look stunning, she wore two ordinary ponytails and a few freckles on her cheeks. But her voice is tactful and melodious, like a yellow bird out of the valley. Lin Qiu was singing a slightly mournful tune when she entered the door, a tune adapted from the folklore of the Kingdom of Tarun about a pair of lovers who are forced to separate due to war. Everyone can sing this song, but Lin Qiu woke up a lot of people when he sang it at that time.

Lin Qiu glanced at his "successor" a few times, and had to say that in terms of bards, this little girl was countless times stronger than him.

The tavern was surprisingly quiet except for the singing, Tom was wiping a wine glass, and Lin Qiu saw Julius in the corner seat at a glance.

There was his seat.

"Yo, what a rarity. Although Lin Qiu's dress style had changed a lot, he was wearing a slightly luxurious knight's uniform, and he also had a knight's sword pinned to his waist that looked expensive, but Tom still recognized Lin Qiu at a glance.

He had heard from the drinkers that the great hero of his tavern had returned to the kingdom of Talen. I didn't expect to see it so soon.

"I'm here to drink. Lin Qiu put the money bag on the counter, and the bag contained the gold coins that Pink Jenny hadn't had time to use, and the money was enough for the sailors to drink for a month.

"Don't have overnight money on you?" the boss asked, weighing the heavy purse with some amusement. Lin Qiu was the strangest kid he had ever seen, working harder than anyone else to ask for money from the drinkers, and he looked like a miser. But he spent the money lavishly, and the money he had just transferred changed hands and was squandered by him.

"If you don't have any overnight money, you should invite these people to drink!"

Lin Qiu's words caused all the drinkers to cheer. However, most of these sailors had never seen Lin Qiu, and they regarded this young man as the son of a nobleman.

Tom half-jokingly said, "If you want me to say, it's probably not good for you to come every time." ”

Last time, it was Luther's rebellion, which led directly to King Ryan's assassination, and this time I heard that someone was trying to assassinate Queen Ria - "You are really the king's nemesis." ”

He talked to Lin Qiu very easily, and did not worship him as a hero. He was used to seeing Lin Qiu's calculations, as long as he saw him, he could resound the scene of him bargaining with the drinkers in the past. Tom also sighed a little embarrassed: "Don't say it, if you continue to stay with me, I won't be able to leave this tavern to you after I die." ”

"Old man, your body will live for at least a few decades. ”

After chatting a few words, Lin Qiu took the wine and came to sit down opposite Julius, who was lying on the table. Julius had dark circles under his eyes, his hair was disheveled, and he looked listless. Once the most unwelcome guest of the tavern, Julius never drank, a glass of water would have allowed him to sit here for a day, and once he met an interested opponent, he couldn't wait to provoke him, and he broke the tavern's tables and chairs countless times.

If he had to choose a suspect, Lin Qiu felt that it was more likely to be the captain Salfin he was not familiar with.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll send you to prison?" Julius hung the dead fish eye, if it was him in the past, he would have jumped up and fought with Lin Qiu for dozens of rounds: "But Uncle Blacksmith hasn't helped me forge the sword yet, and I'm on vacation for the time being." ”

Even if he knew Lin Qiu's identity, Julius really didn't want to communicate with Lin Qiu amicably.

"I don't think it's you, but I'd better ask - where were you about a few hours ago?"

Lin Qiu routinely asked Julius, this is a simple boy who once believed in his evil and competed with the king of the forest, if these things can also be disguised, his acting skills are too breakthrough.

However, Julius's next answer seemed to give Lin Qiu a slap in the face: "Pink Jenny, together with Captain Salfin." Questions?"

......

At the same time, inside Salfin's estate.

The bathroom was still filled with rising steam, Salfin leaned against the wide tub, and the sound of familiar footsteps rang out the window. He still didn't look back, and said first with a blank face, "I was wondering when you'd come to me, Coria. ”

"Isn't it time?"

"No, it's the right time. ”

Salfin picked up the towel that the maid had prepared for him and placed it on his shoulder. He knew that the woman standing at the window was a woman who had just undergone a upheaval in the estate.

"You came to me because someone saw me coming out of your manor. And you're here to confirm that, aren't you?"

The voice outside the window paused for a long time, as if trying to calm the anger.

"So we found that it was impossible to do something extreme in the inner city without knowing it, because there would always be people in the wrong place at the wrong time. ”

The voice outside the window asked, "Do you have anything to plead?"

This time, the silent man became Salfin.

After a long time, Salfin tilted his head and took a deep breath of warm water vapor.

"Nope. He replied.
