020: Rescue preparation
It was almost dusk, but the people of Vayezeji had not recovered from the shock. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoWho would have thought that someone would be able to kill that powerful berserker with bare hands (people automatically ignore the role of the bow).
The tavern was packed, and the residents, who had not been able to witness the whole process, were listening with relish to the explanations of those who had returned from the arena. They added fuel to the fire and exaggeratedly, saying that they had said that Arthur had been possessed by the god of war, and that they had torn Matt in half with their bare hands!
"If you want me to say, it must be witchcraft. One interjected. "If it weren't for the effect of witchcraft, how could that Arthur be invulnerable, even with Matt's strength, he wouldn't be able to hurt him in the slightest?" he analyzed the matter, and the residents on the side couldn't help but nod their heads as they listened.
That Arthur was not unscathed, he had a huge wound on his back, and I could see the blood on his back from afar. The man who watched the whole process at the scene said.
While they were talking, the door to the tavern was violently pushed open, and a man in ragged clothes with blood sticking to it walked in and sat down at random.
"Hey, look, it's him!" the man whispered in a low voice, and everyone immediately turned to look at Arthur with curiosity and doubt. "He looks weak, but my uncles are stronger than him. A young man said with a slight disdain. "It must be witchcraft, he must be the husband of a witch and his evil partner has put a spell on him!"
"A glass of ale, don't mix it with water. Arthur said weakly, and instead of serving him a drink, the tavernkeeper was a bloated woman, "You need a doctor more now, sir, and you don't look good." β
"I don't care about that, give me a drink. Arthur insisted, like a grumpy child. This aroused the motherhood of the boss, who twisted her fat waist and walked to the back room, and after a while, he came out with a suit of clothes.
"Okay, you can drink until you throw up, but you have to change into this new suit and bandage your wounds. With that, regardless of whether Arthur agreed or not, he took off his clothes and forcibly put on the new clothes for him. Arthur was too weak to even raise the strength to resist, so he simply let him fiddle.
"Haha, Ulamel, when did you become so generous?" the few regulars understood what was going on, and they asked deliberately, causing the proprietress to roll her eyes. "Drink your bar, old fellow, or you won't even have to drink. Her words elicited a burst of laughter, and the slightly tense atmosphere of the crowd vanished.
"To our brave warriors!" I don't know who started it, and everyone raised their glasses to Arthur to pay their respects. "To our young Arthur!" they drank merrily, and Arthur was surrounded by them, not responding to the enthusiasm of the people around him, but drinking himself. Occasionally, a bold person leaned over to clink glasses with him, and he barely reacted.
Gradually, the drinkers reveled, and by exalting Arthur, "Strange, strange, our wise man also showed the look of a fool." In the midst of the noise, a man who completely covered himself with a cloak did in front of him. "To numb oneself with alcohol is the most stupid thing to do. β
Arthur ignored him, but poured another glass of ale, the sour taste spreading in his mouth, and he was a little intoxicated. "Give me a reason not to break all your teeth. Arthur said, exhausted and unable to lift up anything, even if the person in front of him made him angry.
"Because you're weak now, and I'm full of energy?" quipped the man under the cloak, who lifted it to reveal his familiar faceβthe first servant of Eve, Pete Howles. "Well, just kidding, don't you want to rescue your good lady?"
"She looks good. Arthur's booze was empty, and he reached for Pete's. "There's no danger anyway, so why don't you just let her stay like that?"
Pete drank it all and didn't let Arthur drink more. "So, are you going to do nothing?" "What can I do? I'm trying my best to keep myself." Arthur smiled, then continued, "You are not qualified to lecture me. β
"Hey, I didn't have a choice then, and I'm sure Miss Eve won't blame me. Pete lowered his head, and then whispered to him, "In any case, either come with me now, or buy here and get drunk until you die, you choose." β
Arthur was silent for a while, patted his face lightly to sober himself up, and then said to Pete, "At least give me a bow, or I won't be able to do anything." β
β...... I'll just say yes to you. Pete put the dinar on the table and pushed the door open, and Arthur staggered to follow.
"Vomit!" Arthur vomited a lot of times along the way, and he rarely drank, let alone drank bitterly. "You've had a great amount of wine, Mr. Drunkard. Pete didn't miss the opportunity to taunt Arthur either. β...... When I watch Eve, it's very relaxed. Arthur said bitterly, only now realizing that Eve's unusually high level of alcohol was absolutely abnormal.
"Come on in, at least you're awake enough now. Pete said to him in front of a door, waiting for Arthur to approach before pushing it in.
"Isn't this our Mr. 'The Beast'? "It was a large space, with a large table in the middle, surrounded by warriors with blades, led by the bard Orlando Dragoch. "The people are finally here, so let's get started. β
"Beast?" Arthur was unfamiliar with the title, but he didn't pay much attention to it, he had already guessed why these people were gathered here, but to his surprise, there were more than thirty of them.
"You are all well-known local mercenaries, and some of you have a lot of personal friends with me, but today, I have gathered you together for only one reason. Orlando said straight to the point. "Rescue a lady who has been rudely imprisoned. As soon as his voice fell, the crowd let out a lot of exclamations, and some even whistled a few times. "Yes, as you know, I hope you can rescue Bluebeard's captivity, Lady Eveluna Falst. β
"It's romantic, it's not like yours at all, Orlando. A Salander warrior wrapped in a turban and wrapped his face around said, apparently having a close connection with Orlando. "I thought you had always been a wanderer, and you wouldn't be nostalgic for anyone. β
"Oh, my old friend, no one wants to wander all their lives. Orlando replied with a smile. "I also need a place where I can spend the rest of my life in darkness. β
"But we have to fight against the lord of Vayezeji, and your reward is not good enough. A Nord man with a raven tattoo on his face said, apparently not very happy with the price of the sale.
"Rum Falst is Chancellor of the Exchequer, my friend, how much do you think he'll pay for you to rescue his daughter?" Orlando dealt with ease, the last thing they had was the dinar.
"But I'm still skeptical about our motives, what reason do we have to rescue Miss Falst now?" said a man in chainmail who looked taciturn.
"Well, I think you all have that question, don't you?" Orlando asked rhetorically, looking at everyone. Everyone looked at each other a few times and said that this was indeed the case.
"Very well, then, I have only one reason. Orlando said mysteriously. "That is, the Nord's bed stinks! How can our lady be allowed to suffer such a sin?"
...... With the exception of the Nord, everyone else erupted in deafening laughter after a brief silence. "Hahahaha! I like this reason, count me in!" said a blonde man with a spear in hand, slapping his weapon on the table and indicating that he would like to join.
"For the sake of friendship, I will not refuse. The Salander slammed his hammer on the table. "For Ms. Falst's nose!" "I'm going to smash that damn bed!" Immediately afterward, most of them offered to join them, except Pete, Arthur, and the Nords.
Everyone looked at the Nords, and the leader of them looked at them, and finally reluctantly slapped his throwing axe on the table. "Okay, but I'm just upsetting Bluebeard, not because of the bed. β
"It's good, so that everybody joins. Orlando was about to say this, but Arthur shouted first, "Wait!" Everyone's eyes immediately focused on him, he was already half awake, and he asked, "Are you really willing to fight a lord for such a stupid, unreasonable reason?!"
When they heard this, they looked at each other, and then they smiled and did not speak. "All right, you lunatics, but I hope that whatever you're going to do, I'll remake the plan. β
"Of course, we are willing to obey the orders of the 'beast'. Orlando snickered. "Damn, don't call me that......" Arthur said, suddenly remembering that there was one more person who didn't say anything. "What about you, what are you going to do?"
"My mission is to bring you here, and the rest is yours. Pete said. "Now that you've joined, it's time for me to go to the **** thing. With that, Pete turned and prepared to leave.
"Whatever you want to do, remember what I said to you, Pete Howles, and I do what I say. Arthur reminds Pete that whatever he wants to do, as long as he doesn't hurt Eve, he can't do it.
"Haha, let's talk about it when you wake up, no one will listen to the drunkard's threats. Pete waved his hand and pushed the door away, no one knew what he was going to do, but Arthur had a hunch that he would soon know, sooner than he expected.
