(That's right, I'm going to have two more shifts today, hahaha.) 263...... 084...... 458...... Book friend skirt, if you want to come, join the group. P.S. Friends who have passed by ask for collections and recommendations, and your support is my biggest motivation. In addition, it is good for everyone to give more opinions, thank you. ）

"Are you talking to me?" asked Catherine softly, staring indifferently at the young mercenary's flushed face from the stimulation of alcohol.

"Yes, yes. The young mercenary's voice was slurred: "I said I want to invite you...... Ahh

Catherine didn't make any moves, but the Dou Qi shield on her body suddenly opened and closed quickly. Under the impact of the vindictive shield, the young mercenary closest to Catherine was bounced off before he could react, flew upside down a step or two, and sat directly on the ground, his numb brain didn't understand what was going on, just instinctively rubbed his ass and let out a cry of pain.

"Gold!" saw that some of the mercenaries who were lively and knowledgeable let out an exclamation in disbelief when they saw the color and texture of Catherine's vindictive shield.

The mercenaries in the Yala world are just the opposite of adventurers, adventurers often rely on individual strength to fight, but mercenaries rely on group strength to fight the enemy like an army, which also determines that it is difficult for mercenaries to meet a few high-level professionals. In a large mercenary group, there are often only a few cadres and regiment leaders at the level of captain and regiment with the strength of the gold rank, and the entire mercenary group often does not exceed ten, and those who can reach the legendary level are only one or two at most. This ratio is also just similar to the proportion of gold-level professionals among human beings. Among the more than 200 million human populations in the contemporary Yala world, there are only more than 230 people who are lucky enough to be promoted to legend and are still alive, and only a few thousand people whose strength has reached the golden level, which is quite a low proportion.

Therefore, when the mercenaries suddenly found out that the beautiful woman in front of them turned out to be a gold-level professional, it was difficult to control the volume of their exclamations. In fact, if these mercenaries were replaced by adventurers, they would not be so surprised, because the number of high-level professionals among the adventurers was higher, and they had seen more.

"I hate alcohol. Ignoring the exclamations and the fear of the onlookers trying to dodge backwards, Catherine walked past the fallen young mercenary with a blank face, not looking at him again: "So, I hate it when someone asks me for a drink." ”

"Oh, why did you fall down this big brother?" Vivian, who was following Lina, seemed to have suddenly discovered something interesting, walked a few steps faster than Lina, walked to the young mercenary who fell, helped him up in a panic, helped him dust off his clothes, and asked with concern: "How is it, are you not injured?" ”

"I'm fine, I'm fine, thank you, little sister. The mercenary who fell down was slightly drunk at this time, and his mind began to sober up a little, and then he saw Vivian take the initiative to help him, and quickly stood up.

"Is it really okay?" Vivien looked at the mercenary with her head half-tilted, blinking her big watery eyes, and asked softly, "Then, big brother, are you still going to invite us to drink?"

"No, no, no. The mercenary, who was half frightened, secretly glanced at Catherine who walked over, shook his head vigorously and said, "Don't dare to invite." ”

"What?" Vivian looked up with a disappointed expression on her face, and a misty mist suddenly appeared in her big eyes: "Big brother, you actually lied to others, people hate you the most." ”

With a "bang", the blue magic shield was also opened and closed, and the young mercenary who had just stood up flew backwards a step or two again, sat down on the ground again, rubbing his ass and moaning in pain.

Another golden tier.

Everyone in the tavern was quiet, and no one stood up for the young mercenary who was sitting on the floor, including the friends who had encouraged him earlier. With the level shown by the two girls, everyone present would only get a result of being easily crushed by attacking them together, and the girls obviously showed that they were just joking and didn't really want to hurt the young man, so everyone wisely chose to wait and see.

The young mercenary was bounced off twice in a row, and most of the wine was already sober, and he also reflected that he seemed to have provoked the wrong person, and sat on the ground a little overwhelmed. When he was in a daze, he saw a silver-haired priest girl walking towards him with graceful steps.

The white priest's robe exuded a holy aura, and the long silver hair was softly draped behind the back, and the light shone from the girl's back, making the girl's body radiate a holy light. The girl's gestures are full of noble temperament, whether it is the size of the steps, the movement of the steps, the swing of the arms or the angle of the smiling mouth, there is not the slightest flaw on the girl's body. In the eyes of the young mercenary, the elegant and holy girl, like a goddess who came out of mythology, came to him with the light of hope and extended a saving hand to him.

"Come, get up. The priest girl held a thick book in her left hand on her chest, and with a soft smile on her face, she stretched out her right hand to the boy and whispered in a gentle and tactful voice: "It's cold on the ground, don't get sick." ”

The young mercenary had fallen into a stupor, looking at the beautiful face of the priest girl stupidly, reaching out like a puppet to gently hold the girl's hand, and letting the girl pull herself up from the ground.

"May Denya bless you, my child. The girl stretched out her finger glowing with white light and pointed it at the center of the young man's eyebrows, and the young man felt a burst of coolness spread from the center of his eyebrows to all parts of his body, driving away the alcohol, the pain, and the fatigue: "Don't sit on the ground casually in the future." ”

"Yes, my goddess. The young man's chest was warm, and he had an inexplicable urge to cry, so he nodded heavily with tears in his eyes.

"So. The priest girl looked at the young mercenary gently, and asked in a holy voice, "Do you want to invite me to drink?"

"Drink, drink?" The young mercenary was angry with a hint of foreboding, thinking of the encounter of the previous two answers, he quietly swallowed his saliva, tentatively looked at the priest girl's still gentle smile, and finally mustered up the courage to say loudly: "Drink, that, if you want to drink, I will invite you, if you don't want to drink, I will not invite." ”

"That's bad. The priest girl shook her head dissatisfiedly, sighed and said: "I actually pushed the choice to the girl, such a man is the most irresponsible, he is really a bad man, and he should be punished." ”

There was another "bang", and the same blue magic shield flashed away, and the young mercenary flew upside down for the third time without any suspense, and sat on the ground in the same position. This time he wasn't in pain, as he felt like his ass had been numbed by the fall.

The third golden tier. The guests in the hotel felt that their mood was as numb as the butt of a teenager, and it was not uncommon to see three gold-level professionals in a day in such a remote fortress, but in such a tavern, it was rare to see three gold-level professionals at one time, and it was three beautiful young girls.

Footsteps rang out, and they stopped in front of the young mercenary. The boy looked up and saw the blonde man who had been following the three girls stop in front of him and stretched out a hand to him: "Get up." ”

"I don't want to. The young man shook his head vigorously and said loudly, "You have to fall on me, so I won't get up." ”

"I won't throw you. The man couldn't help but smile and said, "I promise not to fall." ”

"Really?" The young man looked at the man's smiling face suspiciously, and suddenly sat on the ground with his head in his hands: "I don't believe it, you must be lying to me, I won't get up." ”

"Alas, why are there always people who don't want to believe the truth?" the man shrugged helplessly, walked past the boy, and no longer paid attention to the boy who had fallen into the fantasy of being killed.

It wasn't until the four of them had already walked to the bar and sat down that the hotel gradually returned to its previous atmosphere, but the volume of the guests at each table unconsciously lowered a lot. The young mercenary who was sitting on the ground and almost cried was also pulled back to his seat by his friends, and the friends around the young mercenary and some of the guests who knew or didn't know each other were all coaxing the boy, congratulating the boy for being able to get in touch with the beautiful girl at close range, and congratulating the boy for shaking the hand of the goddess in his heart. The mercenaries don't mind bowing their heads in the face of the strong, especially since the other party is three beautiful girls who don't have any malice and are just ordinary pranks, so they don't mind even more.

"It seems that you have dealt with mercenaries before. Pannis followed the three girls to the bar and teased, "It's not strange to use the means to deal with them." ”

"There are often opportunities to come across. Lina sat at the bar and saw Pannis coming over, and got up and saluted very gracefully: "Everyone is used to it." ”

Even though he had been through it countless times, Pannis was still very unaccustomed to glancing at Lina. Although he knew that the current state was just Lina imitating some people, Pannis had a feeling that he was facing another person, so he could only say tentatively: "Now this is Princess Heidi's role?"

"Do you recognize it?" Lina smiled quietly to express her joy, "It's so good, Vivien won't recognize it." ”

"Who called me?" After a few minutes, Vivien suddenly raised her lowered head and looked around, "Lina, did you call me?"

"Nope. Even with Lina's current character, she couldn't help but say angrily: "Send you in a daze." ”

"What do you want to eat?" The owner of the tavern is a local, who used to be a garrison in the city, and after retiring from the army, he opened the tavern exclusively for mercenaries and garrisons. Years of experience made the shopkeeper see at a glance that the four people were not simple, so he stopped the clerk who was going to come up to entertain and came over himself.

"One part pan-fried salmon with grape juice, one part boiled oysters with vegetable salad with golden silk juice, two parts stewed nara with rye wine, one part with a little honey, a little faster. Catherine didn't ask anyone else's opinion at all, just picked up the menu and started ordering. Everyone also knows that with her carefulness, she has long understood everyone's taste preferences and can make everyone satisfied.

"The four guests are adventurers?" asked the shopkeeper tentatively, "There aren't many adventurers here this season." ”

"This season?" Catherine was stunned, "Is there anything special?" Oh, I see, you mean the Monster Attack." ”

"That's right, many monsters like to attack the village in autumn in order to store food for the winter. The shopkeeper said with some concern: "A few days ago, I heard that the nearby village of Shiwei was almost breached, and dozens of civilians died. ”

"I've thought of this too. Catherine said, "But if the monsters are moving, wouldn't it be more convenient to sneak into the forest?"

"It's not that simple. The shopkeeper shook his head and denied Catherine's idea: "In fact, every year, the people who attack the village are only the demonic beasts on the periphery of the flash forest, and the strength is not strong, and the really strong demonic beasts rarely come out, they only need to attack other weaker demonic beasts in the forest." Therefore, every season, the territory of the monsters in the forest is more chaotic, although it will also create a lot of opportunities to sneak in, but overall, compared to other times, now is not a good time to enter the forest. ”

After listening to the shopkeeper's advice, Catherine looked at Lina and Pannis with some hesitation, and when she saw that both of them nodded encouragingly, she bit her lip and said, "It's okay, we always have to go in and have a look, and if we find it really difficult to enter the interior, we will exit." Anyway, thank you for your advice. ”

The innkeeper smiled, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard a slight commotion at the door, and the door of the tavern was pushed open again, and a hoarse female voice sounded from outside the door: "Report that someone here is harassing women, and it also caused a fight, which squad is it, stand up." ”
