Chapter Twenty-Five: Anna's Man
Madame Rose's Tavern in Uptown is one of Lorraine's most famous places to find beauty.
In a richly decorated room on the third floor of the tavern, Billy Fern was sweating profusely.
After an hour-long battle, the woman begged for mercy and Billy stopped.
"Bad luck!" Billy pushed her away, put on his clothes, got up and poured half a cup of "Heavenly Father Summoning" in one gulp.
"If you put half of your efforts in this area into the practice of knights, your father will not scold you every day. A faint voice came from the corner, and Leon was sitting in a blue velvet chair, sipping a glass of wine.
Billy smiled, he thought he was inferior to his biological brother in many places, but he had always been extremely confident in this regard.
"Nasser's wines are delicious, especially the Eden from the Medici estate, which is said to produce only a hundred barrels a year, and a bottle can cost thousands of dollars. Leon was very intoxicated, he took a small sip and sighed, "Why are all good things taken by poisonous snakes, and we griffins have to deal with those savage Wick pirates every day, everyone is a marquis, and the treatment is really far worse." ”
When Billy heard this, he waved his hand to signal the woman to stand back, and only after the two of them were left in the room did he ask, "Have you also heard about the Black Dragon Su?"
"I heard that my father talked to me all night last night. Leon stood up and walked up to Billy, "He is very worried, this thing directly harms the interests of the Holy See, and the big people in Holy Landing are already furious." ”
"Is it that serious?" puzzled Billy.
"The Holy Light Healing business is millions of gold coins a year, what do you say?" Leon asked rhetorically. "This is taking food from the mouth of the Lord of Light. ”
"Moreover, the Holy Light Healing is of great strategic significance, and even the Dark Holy See has to raise a group of apostate Holy Light Mages to deal with the invasion of evil spirits, which represents the orthodox status of the Holy Light Holy See. ”
"But now......" Leon let go of his hand, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered. "The balance is broken. ”
Billy couldn't understand these treacherous political struggles, and shook his head, "I wonder why the Medici family, haven't they always kept a low profile, so they are not afraid of offending the Holy Light Holy See?"
Leon smiled, "The poisonous snake usually forbears to survive, but when it smells its prey, it is faster than anyone else." ”
"I heard that the first person to discover this potion was the Siegel family, but I don't know why the negotiation with the other party collapsed, and they formed a feud, which was why the Medici took it. Billy said.
"These fools of the golden scales. Leon scoffed. "Recently, Count Buchko has been in and out of the Prime Minister's palace frequently, and a few days ago he had a banquet at the house of the cardinal. Now when you come to stand in line, do you have any chips in your hand that can be used to negotiate, and you still have to lose money, and you don't understand this truth. ”
"Does anyone know who inventors are the black dragons?" said Billy.
"There's a grocery store in the lower city called the Dragon House, where Black Dragonsin first appeared, and the owner of that shop is called Damian. A hint of hatred flashed in Leon's eyes, "The one who robbed me of my chance to become Merlin's apprentice." ”
"Damian?" said Billy's look of surprise, "Graywind's client is also named Damian. ”
"What?" Leon's face changed, "What's the situation, is there any news from Grey Wind?"
"The reward that just came today, this one named Damian saved the Greywind mercenary group, using Black Dragon, at first I thought he was a Medici person. ”
"I asked the Dark Elves to deal with him, but the operation failed, Evans, the great knight, seems to be serving him now. Billy replied with a wry smile.
"Saving the Grey Wind Mercenary Group doesn't mean it's the client, brother, it's you who are reckless this time. Leon looked into Billy's eyes and said, "That client is so cautious that he hasn't shown up for a long time, even if he wants to save the Grey Wind Mercenary Regiment, will it be so noticeable?"
Billy thought about it, and it seemed to be true.
"Let's withdraw all of them, from the time I learned that the Grey Wind Mercenary Regiment had entered the city, I knew that we were most likely planted in this matter. Leon poured a cup and handed it to Billy as Heavenly Father summons.
"But this Damian seems to have a hard time with our Fern family, intentionally or unintentionally. Billy took a sip of his wine and handed it to Leon again. "Taste it, the wine of the Habs is as strong and delicious as their women. ”
Leon took the wine glass, smiled slightly, and drank the wine in the glass, "Then come on, anyway, there are a lot of troubles in the Foen family, not bad for this one, I want to see who has the last laugh." ”
.........
The Blackstone Tavern in the lower town, the old location, Damian, Anna, Loren are talking.
When Loren heard the news of Damian's assassination, he pulled Anna from head to toe and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Damian rolled his eyes beside him, "Why don't you care about me first, what can Anna do, I still have this bit of pity." ”
"You thick-skinned man has nothing to care about, not to mention that it was Anna who fought off the assassin. Loren countered.
"I'm fine. Anna withdrew her hand embarrassedly, "Thanks to Uncle Evans, it would be difficult for us to get out without him." After speaking, he glanced at Evans, who was standing guard not far away.
At the mention of Evans, Loren immediately turned into a star, and asked Damian excitedly: "Is Evans really a great knight, why did he come to be your guard, in our Habs, a great knight is qualified to be the captain of the great army." ”
Damian was very proud, "Of course, the main thing is that my personality is too charismatic, and the big knights are all impressed by me, have you been impressed by me, little Loren." Damian was in a good mood and even teased Loren.
Loren pulled out his knight's sword and stood up, "You're still energetic, aren't you, believe it or not, I'll kill you!"
Damian jumped two meters away in fright, and he raised the dragon's eye staff, "Don't mess around, I warn you, this is my territory, and there are many brothers in the Sea Serpent Party." Damian gestured to a nearby table of Sea Serpents gambling.
"My Knights of the Eagle is right outside, and a collective charge will turn you into ruins here. "The two of you come and go, and no one will give in.
Anna was so angry with them that she couldn't smile bitterly and stood up, "You two don't quarrel, every time you drink a little wine, you will make a lot of noise like a dwarf." ”
"Little girl, do you have an opinion about us dwarves?" A rough voice sounded behind her, and Anna turned her head to see a red-bearded dwarf, just as tall as Anna's waist, looking up at her with an unhappy expression.
"I didn't ...... No, sorry. Anna's face flushed, and she quickly explained.
The dwarf obviously didn't listen to her explanation, and shouted in a loud voice: "Dwarves never bully women, where is your man, let him come out and duel with me, in the name of the Seven Mountains, I will beat him all over the ground today!"
Damian was looking at Loren, who gave him a serious look.
Damian was confused and muttered, "What do you mean, Anna's identity as a man, do you want me to claim it, or not?"
