Chapter 110: Records of Experiences in the New Territory
Donner was a little stunned, and the hand holding the wine glass paused, then placed it on the table, looking at the mercenary in front of him with interest.
The mercenary Mo was in his forties, with short brown hair and a short linen coat, his bare chest covered with sweat, glued to his thick chest hair, and straw sandals on his feet.
There are at least a dozen scars on the skin exposed all over the body, which look like sword wounds and paw prints.
The mercenary looked familiar, and after saying this, he turned back and smiled at the mercenary behind him, completely unaware that the guards at the two tables around him had pulled out the scimitar on his waist by three inches.
Donner quietly stopped the convoy, motioning for them to stop and wait and see.
Jason didn't say anything for a while, and motioned to Donner with his eyes what to do.
Donner shook his head and looked at the mercenary playfully, based on his observations, he estimated that this mercenary was betting with the mercenaries at the tables behind him.
"Hey, hey, man, don't be so stingy, isn't it just a glass of wine?" said the middle-aged mercenary with a grin.
"Do we know you? Why should we invite you to drink and give us a reason?" said Donner, taking a sip of his wine, and chuckled.
The wine is fruit wine, not made from any fruit, the degree is not high, there is a sweet and sour taste, down the throat, there is a trace of cold, as if it has been refrigerated with ice cubes.
The mercenary glanced at Donner and said to Jason, "Hey, brother, are your slaves so rude?" ”
Donner smiled, but the ten guards next to him drew half of the scimitar with a futile 'choke', ready to stand up and teach the mercenary who had insulted his own regimental commander a lesson.
The actions of the guards made the mercenaries stunned, and the mercenaries behind him who were watching the excitement also became nervous, and they all took their weapons in their hands, as if they would rush over as soon as the guards moved
Donner pressed his hand, motioning for the guards not to be impulsive.
Donner smiled and picked up the wine cup, poured a glass of fruit wine into the empty crockpot on the table, pushed it in front of the mercenary, and said, "Well, tell me your name? ”
The brown-haired mercenary looked back and forth between Jason and Donner with suspicious eyes, and he finally understood that this young man with the mark of a slave on his face was the leader of this group.
The mercenary couldn't believe that a slave could become a leader?
At the table, Hans and Jason looked at him blankly, Yuri had a smiling expression, and the guards on both sides looked at him like a dag.
"I ...... My name is Shien. The mercenary hesitated before he slowly said his name, his eyes drifting straight to the crockpot full of fruit wine, but he was suddenly a little afraid to serve the wine.
"Come, Mr. Shinn, a toast for fate's sake!" Donner smiled and raised his glass to signal the mercenary to clink glasses.
Shi En squirmed his lower lips, he suddenly felt a strange feeling, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up the crockpot in front of him and touched Donner lightly, and said, "Cheers." ”
This look is completely without the previous big grin.
Shi En couldn't figure it out, he always felt that this group of people was extremely weird, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at him lightly, which made him feel an inexplicable pressure.
Turning around and glancing at the group of mercenaries behind him, Shi En cursed in his heart, hell, he knew that he shouldn't have made a bet with them.
"Here, one more drink!" Donner continued to pour Shinn a full glass of wine.
"!" Downer swallowed.
Shi En didn't move, Donner showed the bottom of the glass, signaled that he had finished drinking, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Shi En?
Donner's voice was not loud, but it was just enough for the mercenaries over there to hear it.
The mercenaries burst into laughter, and Shi En blushed and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Thanks, man...... Adult's liquor. After Shi En finished speaking, he wanted to get up and leave, his expression slightly embarrassed.
"Hey, Mr. Shien, don't worry, we're having a drink. Downer said.
Uhhhh
Donner poured him another glass of wine, motioned for Shi En to sit down, and said, "Don't worry, since I invite you to drink, you have to take care of it, come, you're welcome." ”
Shi En glanced at Donner, glanced at the guards on both sides, and then looked back at the mercenaries over there, a little crying without tears.
"Haha, drink, Shien, aren't you a big drinker?"
"I brag and drink every day, but now I don't dare?"
The mercenaries over there didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and they opened their mouths to blow and instigate.
Donner didn't look over there, and raised his head slightly to signal the slightly poor mercenary in front of him.
Shi En's face was slightly red, and he gritted his teeth and continued to sit down, drinking the full glass of wine.
"Yes, I can still have two drinks!" Yuri said with a grin, he didn't mean anything else, he just thought this mercenary was funny.
"Mr. Shinn, are you a mercenary?" asked Donner.
"Yes. Seeing that Donner was indeed just inviting him to drink, there was no conspiracy or malice, so Shi En slowly let go and restored his character.
At the end, he boasted by the way: "My lord, the mercenary still needs to add the word brave in front of him." ”
"Huh!" Donner laughed.
"Brave mercenary Mr. Shien, it's a pleasure to meet you. Donner said, "Let's just drink, now we're friends!"
Shi En patted his chest: "Anyone who has invited me to drink is my friend." ”
"Very well!" said Donner, "can I ask you a little bit about this town?" ”
"Yes. "There's no one in this town who is better informed than me." ”
"Oh. Really?" Donner, pretending to be surprised.
"You don't believe it?" Shi En felt insulted.
"Believe, I believe. Donner smiled lightly, "Can you tell me when this town was built? ”
"That's it! no one knows better than I do. Shi En grinned, "Just a year ago, it was rumored that the iron mines in the territory were attacked by pirates, and at the same time the slaves rioted.
The guards in the mine area were all dead, only a few mercenaries escaped, and the owner of the mine, Lord Viscount, was hanged by pirates on Hell Island. ”
Donner and Hans glanced at each other, and Shien continued: "The news sent the escaped mercenaries back to the central main city of Grote, and then the royal capital sent a new lord. ”
"It is said that this lord is a son of a large family in the royal capital, and the lord originally had a fief in the Northland, but later due to the invasion of the Eternal Winter Kingdom, the territory was lost, and it was re-canonized here by the king. Whereas...... This town was founded ten months ago. ”
"Also, I heard that the new lord intends to make this the largest seaport on the eastern coast of the kingdom, so many merchants, mercenaries, coolies, and sailors have come here to try their luck these months. Shi En said with great interest, as if this port had his share.
"Oh, does this new lord live in the town too?" asked Donner.
"How is that possible?" Shi En said, "How could a noble lord live in such a dilapidated town, there is a castle in the middle of the territory, and the lord lives there, and the town is just handed over to a viscount to manage." ”
Donner touched his chin thoughtfully.
