Daddy Tom in the tavern was still busy pouring wine, mixing drinks, and collecting gold coins, when suddenly his body shook, and he laughed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Daddy, what's it that makes you so happy. A stout human mercenary stared at Daddy with drunken eyes and laughed.
"Hey, something good must be happening!" replied Daddy Tom with a smile.
"Good things should be shared, Daddy. A short, obscene man joked.
"Haha, that's right, then I'll invite everyone to drink tonight! Boy Jack went to bring some barrels of wine. Daddy Tom's change of style to invite everyone to drink made the whole tavern stunned, and then the tavern erupted in a shocking cheer, and the sound echoed out of the tavern and echoed far away in the surrounding wilderness.
Watching Jack Kid pour wine for everyone, Daddy Tom smiled and whispered, "Fate, fate, keep turning!"
......
Roland carried the noble lady on his back and broke into the entrance of the abandoned mine, a straight passage, dark and deep, and there was no trace of other adventurers. Even though he knew that there must be other adventurers inside, Roland gritted his teeth and entered, compared to the threat behind him, the future could only be taken one step at a time. But he didn't expect that the threat behind him had long since disappeared......
After walking along the dark passage of the mine, I didn't know how long, and when I turned a corner, I saw a fire coming from the front, faintly illuminating the outline of a hall. Roland still ran there, and that was the only way he could go. However, while running, he suddenly felt that his foot was tripped over something, and he slipped out. He was about to prop up his hands and raise his head, but he was pressed back, and then his hands were tied behind his back.
"Yo he! There's still someone here! Hey, there's a chick, hehe, the brothers are just missing a little fun staying here. An obscene voice sounded in Roland's ears, and then he heard footsteps, and just now he had tripped and fallen, and the noble lady was thrown aside.
The noble lady stumbled to the ground after being thrown out, and woke up so well that she could hear the words above, and she immediately crawled forward, shouting no.
Roland heard the voice of the noble lady calling for Rao, and somehow, he felt a string of fire coming out of his body, writhing regardless of it, and shouted in his mouth: "Don't touch her!"
However, the resistance was in vain, and the few hands that bound him tightened up, and one foot stepped on his head, and it was still the same obscene voice, and he was very unhappy when he heard Roland's roar, and gave up chasing the noble lady. He stepped on Roland's head, kept working harder under his feet, pressed Roland's head into the soil, took out a dagger in his hand, and prepared to stab Roland in the back of the head, and said viciously in his mouth: "Boy, you are looking for death!"
However, at this moment, I heard a "wait a minute", and this voice came from a distance. A heavy object flew in the direction of the sound, and then the man who stepped on Roland was smashed and flew out, and someone next to him suddenly shouted, "What do you want to do? Do you want to do it now?"
"I just want to see who this new guy is, and it feels familiar to me. As the voice drew nearer, a man came up to Roland, grabbed him by the hair, and pulled his head out of the dirt, revealing his face covered in dirt.
"Oh, Roland?" the voice asked, the voice now audible to Roland, thick and steady, and felt quite familiar.
After this voice called out Roland's name, a figure in a corner of the hall was visibly shocked, but no one noticed it, and this person immediately put away his mind and returned to the state he was in just now......
Roland spat out a mouthful of dirt mixed with blood, his heart was really angry, he had almost been killed for no reason just now, if it wasn't for his own injuries, how could that guy sneak attack and humiliate himself? He turned over, and saw a face full of beards, a long prickly beard dangling in front of his eyes, and a big nose that was extremely conspicuous in the dense beard forest.
"Colin Ironbeard?" Roland asked tentatively.
"Haha, it's really you kid. The dwarf named Colin Ironbeard pulled Roland up. "I said you kid didn't work hard in Daddy's tavern, why did you come back to be a mercenary? Are you fired? Then I'm going to apply for your place quickly. ”
Moving the arms that were tied up first, Roland replied to the dwarf with a wry smile: "No, it was Dad who took someone else's task and sent me out to do ......."
"You kid didn't fail your mission, did you, or is your mission in this mine?" said the dwarf's smiling face.
"It's not a failure, the employer is still there. Roland pointed to the aristocratic lady who climbed to the edge of the hall, this is not actually a hall, but a former mining site, through continuous excavation to form an artificial cave, in addition to the passage where Roland entered, there are two passages leading to the inner layer in front. "Brother Colin, can you help me get Daddy's employer? Also, my mission is not in the mine, I was chased and fled here. ”
Roland only had time to look at the situation in the hall at this time, only to see that there were five or six fires here, five or six groups, at most seven or eight, that is, the team that attacked him, and at this time the guy who attacked him was lying on the ground, with a heavy iron round shield on his body, and it turned out that the thing that Colin Iron Whisker threw over just now was a shield. The group all stood up and drew their weapons, and two of them quietly moved next to the noble lady, their weapons aimed at her, intentionally or unintentionally.
The other people in front of the fire are basically four or five adventurer squads, and they all look at this side at this time, and they don't mean to interfere, but among these people, Roland also knows a few, and he sighed, not worried that they will help that group, Daddy's prestige is very useful in the Misty Forest.
Although he knew that Roland was borrowing his father's name, and the purpose did not conflict with him, he could help. But the dwarf had his own arrangement, and with a wave of his hand, several of his teammates stepped forward. This is a typical team of adventurers, a Flesh Shield Warrior (Dwarf), a Half-Elf Archer, a Half-Elf Rogue (possibly another stealth class), a cloaked Wizard with a hard expression, and an Orc Apothecary Shaman. Although the combination is very classic, but the composition of the personnel is very, well, how to say? Maverick! The two half-elves look like husband and wife, and the woman raises her bow and pulls out a branch from the quiver behind her back (yes, everyone, you are not blind, and this female archer is not a legendary pacifist).
