Chapter 412: Rumors
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are taverns, and it seems that without such an existence, there is such a fault in the link between the upper and lower classes, and even the rivers and lakes have become incomplete.
The taverns in Longding City are not large, but there are hundreds of people scattered or sitting in a circle.
There are two young people sitting in front of the bar, a glass of Sol wine and a glass of bitter wine, Sol mouth is spicy and sweet aftertaste, although the name of bitter Ling has a bitter word, in fact, it is a hint of sweetness lingering on the tip of the tongue, in Bracada bitter wine also has a nice name called 'girl's lips', but here, the five big and three rough barbarians laugh at it as a sissy wine.
After collecting a decent tip, the tavern keeper lowered his voice and said to the two young men in front of him, "The black dragon may be a little stronger than the golden dragon, but it is not as good as the archangel", and the blonde young man showed a mysterious smile, but his gaze stayed on the dark corner on the right side of the tavern.
"Have you heard, the caravans that went to Bracada have disappeared one after another recently, and each time they disappeared without a trace with people and goods, the lords over there in Bracada were furious, and the city lord was also scolded by the Duke of Yunston, but the army sent to investigate several times in a row was also missing like those caravans, and even the body could not be found, my friend in the army said that the Duke and the city lord had issued a huge bounty, as long as the reason for the caravan's disappearance could be found out, a large bounty could be obtained, but there were few responders, because it was too weird, although the gold coin was good, it also had to have a life flowerγ β
Sitting in the corner was a group of big-eared monsters, and occasionally a few orcs were mixed in, and the big-eared monster who spoke did not deliberately lower his voice, so the young man could hear it clearly.
At that moment, the wooden door of the tavern was pushed open from the outside, and the old wooden door, which was unable to bear the weight it could not bear, let out a painful wail when it came into contact with the wall, and drooped down like a broken chicken wing.
All eyes were drawn to it.
"I, Serig, have you brought me to the border, rich!" seemed to be a lingua franca that was not very familiar with the mainland, and the tall figure, which had been drowned in the dust and smoke stirred up by the collapse of the wooden door, had a clear fault in its pronunciation, and the most important thing to do was omitted in a sentence other than to introduce himself and his purpose.
It wasn't until the clatter of his huge feet on the wooden door and the whole person appeared in the lobby that people saw that it was an ogre about three meters tall, and he was holding a notice or something like an animal skin in his hand, and a few large characters and half a square red mark could be faintly seen.
Without fangs that symbolize bravery and strength, three meters tall may be considered a giant in the human world, but in the ogre tribe it is almost disabled, and the muscles are strong, but the impulse and passion in those eyes show that this man has obviously not seen much of the world, that is, he is still a child.
"Hahahahaha!" Sure enough, in the next second, the entire tavern erupted in laughter, and even the blonde young man took a sip of the bitter wine in his hand with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.
"I don't care if you can find someone here to go to the border with you to get money, but if you don't pay for the damage to the wooden door today, I guarantee you won't get out of this tavern. β
The tavernkeeper walked up to Seleg with a black face, both ogres, but Serig could only reach the other's chest, and the criss-crossed scars and broken fangs showed that the tavernkeeper was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
"I ...... I don't have any money, but if you wait until I find someone to go to the border and come back to receive the reward, I'll pay you the money!" Things had clearly gone beyond Serrig's expectations, and he had never mentioned breaking things when he had heard the stories of the great adventures of the troubadours passing by.
However, he hesitated for a moment, and his confidence in himself and his yearning for the future soon made him firm again.
"Hahahahaha!" The ridicule in the tavern became even more dissolute, "Yes Lardan, you just let him recruit troops here and then go to the border to make meritorious contributions, maybe a young hero will be born, and then your ugly daughter who no one wants can be married, hahahahahaha!"
The sound of ridicule stopped abruptly, and I don't know when the rag in the boss's hand that wiped the table was gone, but the source of the ridicule made a painful whimper, and the blood kept flowing down the corners of the big-eared monster's mouth, and the upper and lower jaws that had opened and closed to the limit were obviously dislocated, and a few sharp teeth rolled down the wooden table in front of him, showing that this mass of rags was no less powerful than the iron ball.
"The next time anyone dares to laugh at my daughter, I'll screw his head off. The tavernkeeper, known as Raldan, said coldly, "As for you, now roll me into the back kitchen and wash the dishes, when you have enough money for the wooden door, and when you will leave." Then he turned to the young Serig and said.
Obviously, he was shocked by the boss's hand just now, and even the companion of the big-eared monster was much more restrained, but more people actually looked at the door with a gloating look, whether it was business or adventure, it was actually boring, and fighting and excitement were always the bad taste of these people's chasing.
"I can't wash the dishes!I need money, my mother is sick!Your door will be paid to you, after receiving the reward!" was still a very jerky pronunciation, and even because of the urgency of Serig's syllables were mixed with a lot of tribal vernacular, it was good that he didn't speak, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a lot of laughter in the tavern.
"I don't care if your mother is sick or dead, don't make me repeat what I said again, unless you want me to screw your head off. β
Ralden has obviously lost his patience, there are dead people everywhere in the years of war, and the barbarian's indifference to life has reached a cold level, in fact, he is already very tolerant, if it weren't for the fact that the other party is still a child, the only way for the barbarian to solve the offense is a duel, and just from the size of the two people, I know what the consequences will be.
"I ......" wanted to stand his ground very much, but the aura that gradually emanated from Lardan's body made him tremble, and just when Cerdain felt that his body was getting smaller and smaller, and Raldan's taller and taller, a gentle voice floated from behind to break the embarrassment.
"I'll go with you. Two young men, who had been sitting at the bar and sipping wine, jumped off their barstools and walked towards them.
"Human?" It wasn't until the two men stepped out of the dim light of the tavern into the sunlight at the door that Serig saw the two men clearly, a thin blonde young man, and a slightly taller but fat man, both of whom were roe deer heads by any point of view, according to the aesthetic standards of the savage's stronger and more handsome people.
The excitement that was originally felt because someone responded to him disappeared after seeing the appearance of those two people, and judging from the sparse hairs on the lips of those two people, it was obvious that they were also two children.
"No need, I can do it myself, there are no warriors here. To the young man's surprise, Serig rejected him without hesitation, and the disappointment in his eyes was not concealed at all.
"I'm despised. The young man smiled bitterly in his heart, but he was not in a hurry, but took out a golden thing from his arms with great interest: "But without me, how are you going to get out of here?" After saying this, he looked at the young ogre opposite, waiting for the other party's reply.
Of course, the power of the gold coin was undoubted, and when the young man casually pulled a gold coin from his bosom, some breathing in the tavern paused for a moment, and then gradually became faster.
For no other reason, the two thin lambs casually took out a piece of fat, so the fat on their bodies would definitely not be less, and for a while everyone in the tavern forgot to laugh, but the flashing eyes that collided with each other were obviously brewing something.
"I said Serig, it's good that someone like you is willing to team up with you, what qualifications do you have to pick and choose, since these two little brothers are willing to join you, they are naturally quite confident, don't you really plan to wash the dishes, right?"
A voice of encouragement suddenly came from the corner, which immediately caused the people around to echo loudly, and for a while, the sudden change in the wind direction in the tavern turned out to be a one-sided request for Serig to leave with these two humans quickly, the young man heard the sound and his eyes flashed a trace of triumph and looked at Serig, only the tavern owner Raldan's face was gloomy.
"Okay! I agree that you will follow me. After hesitating for a long time, Sereg finally gritted his teeth and made a decision, "But I want half of the bounty I get, and the other half is divided equally between the two of you, if you agree, we will leave now, and I will return the money to you when I get the bounty." β
"Good. The blonde young man smiled when he heard this, and after a crisp golden sound, the gold coin slid out of a beautiful parabola in the air and fell into Serig's hand, which was immediately handed over to Lardan.
"Hmph, get out of here, including all of you!" Raldan let out a bullish roar after getting the gold coin, he naturally knew what these people had in mind, but he had never had a good impression of humans, so he would not give a warning, as long as he didn't mess around on his realm.
And the fierce-looking or obscene drinkers seemed to understand this tacit understanding, and instead of refuting Raldan, they hurriedly left their seats and walked out of the tavern one by one, as if they were afraid that the fat in front of them would be robbed by others.
"What's your name?" asked as he walked out of the tavern, remembering that he didn't know the names of the other two people in this strange group.
"Lear. β
"Mrak. β
