Chapter XXVIII
It is a 30-gram British gold coin with the portrait of the founding king 'Henry I' on the front and a knight and horse on the reverse. Since the coins were less than ten years old, the luster on them was still there, and the coins shimmered seductively under the dim kerosene lamps of the tavern.
A casually tossed gold coin gave Dylan the hospitality of Ken. At the same time, he also caught the eye of some of the drinkers in the tavern.
Dylan said to the bartender in the same tone as the other nobles, "Venerable Lord Dylan wants you to do something, as long as you do it to my satisfaction, gold...... Not a problem. ”
As he spoke, Dylan pulled out a money bag from his waist pocket and left it on the bar. Because the opening of the money bag was not tightly fastened, it was overflowing with gold coins and precious stones, and it radiated a colorful brilliance unscrupulously.
Seeing this bag of gold coins and precious stones, not only Ken, a greedy fellow, but also the group of strong men with tattoos on their arms sitting on the west side of the tavern, couldn't sit still. If this wasn't Ken's tavern, they would have rushed up and snatched the money.
These people in the tavern have never read a book in their lives. The outlook on life they received from an early age was simple. Gold is law, gold is justice, gold is everything, and they are willing to shed their blood for gold. Absolutely····· It's someone else's blood.
The last time Dylan came to the small town of Krum, he had already figured it out. In addition to selling alcohol, this night cat tavern also has some black market business incidentally, such as inquiring for news, buying murder, hiring guards, and reselling black goods, as long as there is money to be made, they are willing to do anything.
And the bartender in front of him, "Ken", is the owner of this tavern, and he sets the rules in the tavern that no one is allowed to do anything in his territory. The tavern has been open for more than ten years, and no one has ever broken this rule, because the people who broke this rule are already dead.
Ken looked at the bag of money bags radiating magic on the bar with his eyes, swallowed with difficulty, and promised repeatedly: "No problem, nothing is wrong!" I assure you, most honorable Lord Dylan, your will is my life. ”
After speaking, he used the rag used to wipe the wine glass and wiped the saliva left on the side of his mouth.
Dylan looked at the bartender's greedy look and said to him slowly, "I'm going to hire a team of guards to take me to Ireland." Remember, I only need the best, only the best guards, to be worthy of my honorable status. I will stay in the hotel for three days and give me a satisfactory answer within three days. Otherwise, you'll know the consequences of angering a nobleman. ”
Ken thumped his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lord Dylan." The reputation of our tavern is guaranteed, not three days, tomorrow... Tomorrow I will give you a satisfactory answer. ”
After leaving the address, Dylan walked out of the tavern under the hot gaze of a group of people.
After Dylan walked out of the tavern, several strong men sitting on the west side glanced at each other, and then walked out and quietly followed. They followed Dylan all the way to the outside of the hotel where they were staying, and after noting the location, they turned and left.
···········
In the dark night, on the streets of the town, several sneaky figures walked quietly.
Taking advantage of the night as a cover, they successfully came to a small three-story building. The person who hit the head, a pair of arms tattooed with tattoos, saw a mace from his waist and waved his hand forward, saying "rush", and the group behind him all rushed out.
Behind him, a big man with a crooked mouth kicked open the door of the hotel and rushed in first. It's just that what he didn't expect was that as soon as he stepped into the hotel with his right foot, he was stabbed in the head with a fancy rapper. The sword pierced the stab accurately, a sword pierced through the skull, and the tip of the sword pierced directly aimed at the eye of the man with the mace, and stabbed it a little further.
The man with the mace looked at the thin sword in front of him, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he just stood there and didn't dare to move.
Looking up from the sword, it was Dylan who appeared in the doorway with a rapier in his hand, and he drew his rapier and only spoke, leaving no one alive. As soon as the words fell, dozens of wind blades came out in a row behind him, enveloping all these uninvited guests. Blood and limbs flew in front of the hotel, and the whole battle ended in only three minutes.
Jacob came out of the house, looked at the severed limbs and remains all over the ground, turned to Dylan and said, "Lord Dylan, these corpses must be able to be transported outside the city, but the blood will still remain." ”
Dylan glanced into the shadows outside the inn and said to Jacob, "Just leave the body here, someone will deal with it." Then he turned around and went back to his room.
In the alley on the opposite corner, Ken looked at the corpses all over the ground, touched his face and said with a palpitating expression: "Mom White Spoon, it's really not a good stubble, I really want to thank Steve, an idiot, for exploring my way." ”
A younger brother behind him stepped forward and asked, "Boss, since Steve and the others are dead, what about the goods they stored in our tavern..." ”
"That's our goods!"
Ken turned his head and stared at his little brother viciously, and said to him in a very sure tone, "You remember, that's our payment, and we deserve to be paid for Steve's funeral." ”
Ken opened his mouth and spat out: "Leave two people behind, clean up their bodies, and throw them in the woods behind the town, I'm going back to sort out my goods." Also, tell Colt to come to me tomorrow morning, and tell him that I have a big deal to do with him. With that, Ken turned and left.
At noon the next day, Ken took a mercenary in leather armor to the hotel that Dylan had chartered.
Led by Jacob, they meet Dylan, who is enjoying lunch.
Seeing Dylan, Ken hurriedly came up and introduced enthusiastically: "Venerable Lord Dylan, I have brought you the best mercenary team in our Klum. They are all experienced fighters, and with their protection, your safety along the way will be very assured. ”
The leader of the mercenary group was a man with a strong horse face, and he saluted Dylan respectfully and said, "Hello, I am Colt, the leader of the fox hunting mercenary group. Before I came, I heard Ken say that you are going to Ireland, and our mercenary group has been traveling to Ireland and Harbour City for many years, and we know the situation on the road very well. You can't go wrong if you hire us. ”
Dylan looked Colt up and down, and stood straight through the door. Even a big beauty like Maria didn't look at it on the side, and she looked very honest at that time.
So he nodded and asked, "It will take about seven days from here to where I'm going." When will you be ready?"
Colt didn't think about it, and replied directly: "As long as you want to, you can do it at any time, our team has been recuperating here for half a month, and the weapons and horses have all rested." ”
"Then I'll leave tomorrow, and I'll give you a day to collect daily necessities. In terms of remuneration, 100 gold coins. That's probably enough. ”
"100 Gold Coins"
Hearing this number, Colt felt a surge of qi and blood, and the tone of his voice became a little more eager. "Enough. Of course, I'll go back and get ready. ”
"Here's a deposit of 20 gold coins, and the rest will be filled up at the local level. See you tomorrow at the exit of our town. "When that's done, Dylan
After Colt left, Ken came to his senses, and in seven days he earned 100 gold coins, and the nobles' money was too easy to earn.
