Chapter 74: The Tavern and the Silk Scarf
Ciudad Yarez.
In front of a humble tavern.
"My lord, please wait for a while. O'Lion dismounted and bowed deeply to Lin Wei, his whole body showing a ninety-degree angle.
Lin Wei nodded lightly and paused: "What are you going to exchange for my ten minutes?"
Orion was stunned.
"Between us wizards, we advocate the principle of equivalent exchange, do you think that I will sacrifice my time to fulfill your wishes?" Lin Wei looked at Orien condescendingly, his eyes filled with indifference.
Orion hesitated for a moment, but quickly replied, "I am willing to exchange all my wealth with you." ”
Lin Wei looked at Orion with a foolish expression, with undisguised contempt in his eyes: "Do you think I need mortal wealth?"
"No, my lord, when I was younger, I stumbled upon two objects related to wizards, and although I don't know what they are, I think they should be useful to you. ”
Orion remained unchanged.
"Good. ”
Lin Wei was silent for a moment and nodded.
Kavilyn looked at Lin Wei and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, her heart was full of curiosity about this young mysterious wizard, but more in awe.
Ollie slowly turned around and pushed open the tavern door.
"Do you know why he's here?"
Lin Wei asked casually.
"When he was younger, the teacher used to participate in a battle and spent some days in the city of Yarez. Perhaps, he is looking for someone......"
Kevilyn observed Lin Wei's face and said cautiously.
"That's right, sir. The teacher is directly loyal to His Majesty the Kingdom, coupled with his special position in the royal capital, if it is not for the purpose of picking you up this time, the teacher may not be able to leave the royal capital for the rest of his life. Catherine added.
Lin Wei nodded, turned over and dismounted.
"Your Excellency, what are you?"
Kevilyn also hurriedly jumped down from the horse's back and followed behind Lin Wei questioningly.
"Go in and see, wizards are also curious. ”
Lin Wei didn't look back.
Kevilyn tilted her head and glanced at Lin Wei's back, and there was a hint of puzzlement on her childish face: "Wizards also have curiosity?"
......
Orion pushed open the wooden door to the tavern.
Loud noises and the pungent smell of alcohol and tobacco came to my face.
As a border city of the Leighton Kingdom, the city of Yares, like the city of Gessoias, is a large trading city. Caravans come and go, workers loading and unloading goods, travelers with their own purposes, and there are countless stories and strange human natures mixed here.
In Ciudad Yares, there are high-end inns and pubs for the pleasure of the wealthy, but more often than not, there are places for the people of the lower classes like this tavern.
"Hostess, two more flamingos!"
"Boss, you're not young anymore, why don't you find someone to marry?"
Most of the guests were men, and most of them were handymen who were in charge of carrying goods in the neighborhood.
They laughed, and some even accosted the hostess.
The proprietress was a woman in her forties, wearing a long black dress and bright lipstick on her lips. She has a good figure and good looks, and if it weren't for the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes betraying her age, there might be younger lads who provoke her.
"You drunkards!Have you paid your bills?!"
The proprietress didn't care about everyone's teasing at all, but turned around and laughed and scolded one by one.
Click.
Orion's knight's iron boots stomped on the floor with a crisp sound.
Soon, the surroundings turned out to be quiet.
All the guests looked at Orion with respect and fear in their eyes.
"It's the knight ......"
One by one, the drinkers closed their mouths instantly, and from the dress and Orion's momentum, they concluded Orion's identity.
People at the bottom can sometimes be more accurate in identifying people. Especially in such a mixed city, it is a huge trouble for them to not recognize the identity of strangers.
The moment she saw Orion, the proprietress who was laughing and scolding before suddenly stopped talking, she seemed to be stunned, and the whole person was in a trance.
Soon, though, the proprietress was back to normal.
Orion was getting closer and closer to the bar, and the people around him subconsciously chose to stay away.
"What do you need, this knight?"
The proprietress looked at Orion with admiration, loss, anger, and a hint of other meanings, except that there was no respect for the knight from the lower ranks.
Orion stared into the hostess's eyes and was silent for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but stopped.
The proprietress was still very patient: "May I ask this knight lord, what kind of drink do you need? Is it a quick addictive flamingo? or a mellow and mellow sherting?"
Orion groaned again, "I want to inquire about someone. ”
"Tell me. The proprietress smiled in a way that was unfamiliar to the drinkers around her, and they had never seen her smile so well in all these years.
"Twenty years ago, I remember that there was a girl in the neighborhood who made koji, do you know how she is now?" Orion's voice was muffled, and a trace of desolation flashed in his eyes.
The proprietress nodded, still with a smile on her face: "I know her, more than ten years ago, she married a knight lord in the next city, I heard that life is very good, and she lives very happily." ”
Orion didn't have any expression on his face, just sighed softly, and pulled out a narrow silk scarf from his inner pocket of his close-fitting armor.
"If it's convenient, could you please help me give this to her. ”
Orion handed the scarf to the hostess.
When the proprietress saw the silk scarf, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted, she took it with both hands, and responded, "I will give it to her." ”
Orion nodded, and looked at the proprietress carefully, as if trying to remember her face.
"Then I'm bothering you. Orion then whispered.
With that, Orion turned and left.
Looking at Orion's back, the proprietress suddenly smiled, but the smile quickly faded.
Squeak.
The tavern door closes again.
The proprietress looked at the silk scarf in her hand gently, stroked it gently, and then tied a knot and put it on her wrist.
Looking at the sluggish drinkers, the proprietress shouted at the top of her voice, and returned to her previous appearance again: "I'm happy today, the proprietress is half price!"
The otherwise quiet tavern suddenly erupted in a roaring shout and applause.
It's just that no one noticed that at the moment when the proprietress turned around, a drop of water slipped down her cheek.
