Chapter 55: Intelligence
When night fell, in the Copper Cauldron Tavern, Trump looked at Latis sitting opposite with a strange expression, and frowned: Little ghost, what are you doing?
Latis turned his head, glanced at the girl who was sitting on the side with curiosity and looking around, and the calm woman with a calm demeanor, sighed deeply, and shrugged: Don't ask me, ask about this unscrupulous fate.
Trump pursed his lips secretly, his face full of contempt: Come on, you kid, if you get cheap, you still sell well, no matter how many people ask for it, you can't ask for it.
Laces pursed his lips and pointed to the lady who was sitting next to the girl, who was exuding an imposing momentum at the moment, and provoked with the same contempt: Don't give me nonsense!
Trump glanced at Brigitte secretly, and couldn't help but shudder: Forget it, I think the enthusiastic dancing girls in the tavern are more to my liking.
Radis's malicious sneer and taunt: Cowardice!
The grumpy man immediately became angry, grabbed the leg of mutton on the plate and gnawed it fiercely, and looked at him viciously: You are looking for death! This is your treat, right? Okay, see that I don't eat you today!
Latis took a leisurely sip of hot milk, and sneered disdainfully: Cut~, that's all you can do.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your meal, please forgive us for being rude. ”
Brigitte interrupted their eye contact with a timely voice, forced by her momentum, Trump's rough face smiled embarrassedly: "It's okay, in fact, we don't have anything important, since we are friends of Latis, it's actually not bad to eat together, drink, it's lively when there are many people, uh..." Come, Ms. Brigitte, I would like to toast you when we meet for the first time. ”
As he spoke, he picked up a glass of wine and dried it first, but it may have been drunk too quickly, the wine was too strong, and he was inexplicably nervous, so he couldn't help but choke on it, and his face was red.
Brigitte glanced at him, picked up the large wooden cup that was also filled with spirits, and took a sip of it quietly, and still did not blush or breathe after drinking, as if she was drinking not wine, but a glass of boiled water, and the rough man was dumbfounded:
"Ahem······ Okay... Good amount of alcohol. ”
Onivale greeted with a familiar look: "Na~, Uncle is right, it's natural for friends to eat together, you're welcome~"
Latis was silent on the side: Do you dare to be thick-skinned······
"Anyway, the tavern is so lively today······ No, I should say that this time is very lively······ Sure enough, this environment is still the most suitable for adventurers, great, is this an adventure full of surprises and freedoms?
As she spoke, Onivael looked around the tavern that was already full at the moment with curiosity, watching the group of mercenaries snorting and fighting for a while, and then pricking up her ears to eavesdrop on the conversation between several adventurers at the next table without any scruples, looking excited about to move.
It seems that for these things that she has not seen, she can always fall into a state of self-praise for some reason, and if she is self-hilarious, it will be okay, but she will keep beckoning Laces to ask some questions that seem extremely stupid to him.
"Hey, hey, Lades, look over there, that guy is sneaky, and he is wearing a black robe that can't see his face, he can't be some secret agent sent by an evil force that wants to destroy the world, right?"
"Miss, there's nothing strange about this, it may be to hide his image, but it's also possible that he's ugly, and besides, he's just an apprentice thief, so I don't think it's enough to join an organization that is trying to destroy the world. ”
"Huh, huh······ Look at that man, his ears are pointed! He can't be the legendary elves, right?!"
"I don't know what happened to his ears, but please don't associate that sloppy, strange-looking crooked melon cracked date with a handsome elf, thank you. ”
"Oh~······ There it is! The short man who drank must be a dwarf, must be a dwarf, right! I recognize the halfling, the halfling has more feet than him, so he must be a dwarf!"
"His name is Hagrid, he's the town's sewer repairman, and by the way, he's just a dwarf. ”
"Eh, it's completely different from what I thought, it's really boring. ”
"Miss, I think it's better to read less knight novels at your age, and if you want to understand the world, you might as well go out and walk more. ”
"That's what I thought, too! We thought we'd go together! It seems that we get along very well, so let's become partners and go on an adventure together!"
“······ , don't talk about that, let's dry this cup of hot milk. ”
·················
Just when they were eating and arguing, the owner of the tavern, the tall and thin man, walked indifferently through the crowd to their table with a new drink and food.
"Ladies and gentlemen, can the food and drinks at our restaurant satisfy your appetite?"
Lacese responded with a smile, not sparing his compliment: "Delicious as always, sir." ”
"Thank you for your kind review, our Mr. Hero - I heard about what you did today, and I have to say, well done, for a little heart, this dinner is 20% off in the evening. ”
Trump couldn't help but roll his eyes and sarcastically said: "Look, eight-fold! Old friend, you are really generous, but I advise you not to discount, lest you hide in the bed at night and feel sorry for the little money you earned." Anyway, little ghost, did you do anything today? and let this old guy take the initiative to discount?"
Laceus waved his hand: "It must be a trivial matter, insignificant, and it is not my credit, so I don't want to say it." ”
The little girl on the side suddenly shouted: "How can that be a trivial matter! I think what you have done is no worse than the legendary story in the novel!"
"That's why I asked you to read fewer novels. ”
Ladis replied unceremoniously, and smiled at the hotel owner: "If you get it, you don't need to get a discount, thank you for your kindness." ”
The tavern owner looked at him and narrowed his eyes: "Please don't refuse, I'm not as stingy as this old drunkard said, and I also made a fortune from your news, so I should always be rewarded with a few points." ”
"Oh?" said Radis, hearing something from his words.
"I can hear about what you did today, and so can others, just now, many people bought information about you from me, I'm sorry, I sold it to them without your consent, after all, I am in the intelligence business, and your information is not a secret in the town, so I am good at making claims. ”
After listening to this, Latis picked up a piece of steak and chewed it slowly: I said why did I suddenly give me a discount, and my feelings are here to sell the intelligence business.
There is no need for the people who are stationed in the town to ask for information about me, so is my behavior today that has caught the attention of those foreign mercenary groups? No, or is it more appropriate to describe it as hostile.
"It doesn't matter, like you said, even if you don't sell, they always have a way to find out, and it makes you money, which is always a good thing. By the way, in fact, I want to ask you about something, I wonder if there are any discounts?"
The tavernkeeper laughed gentlemanly: "Of course, in fact I have prepared some information, I hope it is exactly what you want." ”
··············
In another corner of the tavern, a group of heavily armed mercenaries sat together, quietly drinking and eating, the atmosphere was quiet and solemn, as if something was brewing.
A bald man with a black tattoo on his head glanced coldly at the location of Latis and asked in a cold voice, "Is he the little imp who made the treacherous villain suffer in Kadaqiu?"
"Yes, Boss, that's right. ”
"Hmph, that guy is really going back more and more, such a little ghost can't handle it, shameful thing······ In the final analysis, conspiracy and intrigue are things that cannot be put on the table after all, and absolute strength is the direct means to achieve the end.
Although those guys who see Split Wind are not pleasing to the eye, they are also outsiders like us, and they have the same position······
A few of you go over and give them some color, so that they know what a real iron-blooded mercenary is, lest he underestimate us. ”
"Hehe~, I know the boss!"
"I've seen them unpleasant for a long time, and they actually brought such a beautiful girl to the tavern for dinner, are the little kids so unpleasant now?"
"Haha, I can't wait to leave them with an unforgettable experience!"
