Section XVII
The good times always passed quickly, and it was getting dark, and Gray spent the whole afternoon in the tavern, and every time he came he would find a quiet corner to sit and not talk to anyone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Over time, everyone here knew that there was a knight who would take a beer with him every time he came, and he wouldn't need to be greeted, he would find a corner with a beer, and then sit quietly.
"Knight Gray, do you need anything else?" asked a beautiful tavern waitress, she should have just gone to work, a woman named Leah, about twenty years old, she was in good shape.
There were even a few faint handprints on her buttocks, and the waitresses who worked in the tavern, especially the pretty ones, were inevitably rubbed with oil, but the pay here was good, and if she was willing to go out with the guests, she even had to earn some extra money, and she was the only one who asked Gray all afternoon.
In fact, when he first came to the tavern, when he learned that Gray was a knight of the castle knight guard, basically every waitress leaned on Gray, which caused the men in the tavern to be very jealous.
Every time Gray politely kept his distance from them, the conversation seemed pleasant, but it was boring, and slowly the waitresses stopped coming, although Gray was a big fish, but the big fish that couldn't fall would only waste their time.
And this woman named Leah persevered, but she just asked, and her inquiry was very formulaic, basically she didn't have to wait for Gray to answer, she would leave, because Gray shook his head every time and didn't even say half a word.
"If you can, can you talk?" Leah was about to leave, but Gray's voice reached her ears, and she couldn't believe it, and turned her head to look at Gray in a daze.
Gray kept smiling, but his brow furrowed imperceptibly, no one likes people looking at him like that, "I'm sorry, Knight Gray, of course, I, I'd love to, what do you want to talk about......?" I'm really sorry, Gray Knight!"
Gray interrupted her somewhat incoherent words, "If you can, please sit down and talk first." ”
The guests of the surrounding tavern were regulars here, and they were very curious about what was going on on Gray's side, and they all stopped talking and looked at Gray's table.
You know, in the past two years that Gray has been in Herien City, he has come to this tavern to sit around, and basically comes over every holiday, except for the first time this is the first time he communicates with people, and other people don't dare to come and talk to the knight master without important things, and the drinkers even open a gambling game in private, betting on when Leah will give up.
In fact, Leah has already given up, and every inquiry she asks now is just a habitual greeting at work.
"Cheers to Leah!" shouted someone around them, and the entire tavern guests followed suit, raising their glasses and drinking them down, and then they seemed to know that Gray didn't like to be too conspicuous, so they talked about their own things, but their eyes glanced at them with blank eyes.
Leah calmed down and sat down across from Gray, who looked at her and said, "Would you like to change jobs?"
"My manor is short of manpower, I think you should be a good fit for the job over there!" Leah on the other side was about to agree, Gray continued, he didn't look at Leah, as if he was talking to himself, this kind of conversation is actually very rude, but Gray talks like this gives people the feeling that this is how it should be.
"Of course, I do, Knight Gray!" replied Leah at once.
Gray nodded, pulled out a few silver coins and put them on the table, "Please have a beer per person here!" Now there are only dozens of people in the tavern, one beer per person, and there will be leftover.
Leah was stunned for a moment, but then reacted, she quickly and carefully picked up the silver coin and walked to the bar, selling the wine and food in the tavern was an important task for her to work here, Gray naturally understood.
The tavern's owner, McWon, had a few words to talk to Leah, and McVen gave Gray a cautious look, and then yelled at the noisy tavern, "Gray Knight, please have a beer each." ”
Mai Wen is worthy of opening a tavern for so many years, and his voice is so loud that it actually overpowers the noise in the tavern! As soon as his words fell, the tavern was quiet for a short second, and then a guest was the first to react: "Cheers to Gray Knight!" The rest of the crowd hurriedly responded.
Gray smiled and raised his glass and took a big sip. Then the guests seemed to be in higher spirits, they talked to each other louder, it was not uncommon for someone to ask for a drink, but it was not very common, and anyone would be happy to have a free beer.
They laughed uncontrollably, spoke loudly, and some even quarreled and scolded each other, and their joy and anger were all shown on their faces. Gray likes the no-holds-barred atmosphere.
However, Gray has decided to leave the place, and he will rarely come back again if nothing happens, which is another reason why he invited the drinkers to drink! Gray decided to change something, and he was greatly touched by the brothers Saul and Mark, as well as the anomaly of Cateli today, and Miss Nessa's unconcerned apology.
Although the tavern in the aristocratic district is dull, it can know some people, some disgusting but must know people, so he rarely or even will not come to this tavern again in the future.
As for Leah, his manor is indeed short of people, Mrs. Wren has told him many times, and Leah is also a good servant, so it should be a reward for her persistence in the past two years, although she is a little snobbish, but who in this world is not snobbish?
Working in a knight's manor is indeed a good job for ordinary civilians, not to mention the income several times higher, two days of vacation per month, and most importantly, it is allowed to learn knowledge. After a few years of familiarizing yourself with aristocratic etiquette, find a way to get a letter of recommendation, and even work in the castle.
When he left the tavern, he told Leah the address of his manor, there was no entertainment on the continent of Ailan, and after dinner, the family usually chatted and laughed together, or invited friends to have a party or something, but Gray could only read a book to relieve his boredom.
Gray's manor is a little deserted, and the servant's room at the back is basically empty, originally Gray planned to let the farmer of the manor farm live in, but the house on the other side of the farm is not bad, and it is convenient to do things.
Gray's manor has two farms, and the wealth created by the farms can make Gray worry about food and clothing, much better than when he was in Aarenburg, these are the most basic benefits after being a knight to officially allegiance to the lord, and the main purpose of the knight divided by the lord is to defend the territory.
