Mu is counted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn this war-torn continent, the average life expectancy of people is probably less than fifty years old, and knights and nobles are slightly better, barely reaching sixty years old. It's just that after the age of forty, the physical fitness will decline significantly. So, after the age of fifty, they don't go to war again unless they have to. And these knights are almost thirty-eight or nine, and they are discharged in their early forties, in other words, they can still earn themselves ten years of money, and these ten years are all high-end tasks of great value, how can they be enough to retire and send them to the end.

What's more, he had planned it a long time ago. In each mission, he will lower the knights' moral bottom line little by little, just like boiling a frog in warm water, and over time, their moral defense line will be loosened, and some tasks of extremely high value but originally impossible to accept will be followed logically. Eventually, while grabbing a lot of wealth, these elm heads will also become what they call shameless mercenaries. Of course, Mu doesn't need to do such a desperate job, he just needs to lower the bottom line of the knight to a range that is acceptable to them and customers, after all, the knight's signboard is still quite valuable.

Of course, the knights did not realize Mu's evil plan. They were first proud of someone who agreed with their ideas, and then the phrase to open the way for their brother struck them hard. That's right, the robes that have been bathed in blood together, friendship is not so simple. Seeing that they are getting more and more down, more and more difficult, and they can't do anything about it, do you know how much psychological pressure this is on the knights with a strong sense of justice, so it is easy for them to accept Mu's arguments, including the old knights.

It was only at this time that Fatis raised his hand and signaled that he had something to say. Mu's heart trembled, this product is now almost the second-in-command of this group of veterans, if he doesn't want to, his plan will be blown up.

"Any comments, Brother Fatis?"

"No, nothing. "It's just that before it opens, I want to go back to Suno... After all... I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back in the future. ”

Mu breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course it's no problem, I originally planned to go back to Suno to recruit some more people." Soon, his smile narrowed, "Big brother, you are in such a hurry to rush back, won't it be... ”

Fatis scratched his face embarrassedly and whispered, "Ahhh Yes, to see my lover, I haven't seen her since I was released from prison, and I want to tell her that I'm safe, and then... Farewell to her. ”

Mu leaned over and asked curiously, "Hey, who is that young lady, who can fascinate you." ”

Fatis's weather-beaten face also turned a rare red, but there was a little pride in the smile on his face

"She is one of the most beautiful women in Suno City. ”

Mu felt that this tone was a little familiar, and hurriedly asked, "That... Who is it?"

"Lady Motia of Baron Gülenchu's house, of course. ”

Mu's smile froze,

It's a big game. Baron Glanchu was the tax collector of Suno, but as the capital region of Swadia, he had to take care of the taxes of the other cities and territories. It's just that, although this poor man is fat, Baron Gülenchu himself is an honest man, and he is so honest that he can live a poor life. Of course, such an honest man is sitting in such a key position, whether it is the royal power faction or the lord faction, he will naturally not turn a blind eye. Over the years, they have used all kinds of means to woo, threaten, frame, and even beauties, but it is a pity that the so-called desireless is rigid, this brother is upright, sits upright, and the matter at hand is not leaky, coupled with maintaining a position of only loyalty to the country unwaveringly, so that those nobles who are accustomed to conspiracy feel like dogs biting turtles, and there is nowhere to put their mouths. Seeing this, many courtiers who were still clean also followed suit, and in this way, they stood alone between the two factions, and gradually formed a third force, that is, the neutral faction, that is, they did not participate in any court disputes, but only buried their heads in their own work. Most of these people are nobles with low titles and low status, no fiefdoms, no armies, and no power, so the other two factions think that they are not a threat, so they do not do anything black.

However, Motia, the daughter of the Glenn family, did not share her father's negative political approach, and she felt that her father's position as a tax collector was not large, but it was absolutely crucial, and no matter which side he threw in, he could gain a lot of benefits. Of course, Motia also felt stupid to stand in line, she thought that with her beauty and intelligence, she could dance between the two factions, and by the way, she would benefit both sides for her own family.

Of course, the responsible father also warned his daughter. That's right, neither the royal faction nor the lord's faction are cats raised at home, they are two real lions! His own daughter is like a moth flying back and forth between two bonfires, and if one is not careful, the bones will be burned by the flames. But the courtesan only took it as a deaf ear, or, in the eyes of the proud Motia, no matter how high or low the title, a man was stupid. As long as they hook their fingers, they will be mesmerized.

Of course, this is what Mu summed up from the mouth of Fatis, in the original text of the down-and-out knight, Motia is a beautiful butterfly hovering among two bushes of flowers, confused and at a loss, and she must stand up and carefully protect her... Hawkers, at least judging from this guy's state, this courtesan seems to be doing quite well.

In fact, Fatis's own heart is quite complicated. At first, he was furious when he saw Motia thrown into the arms of others, and when she screamed and ran away, he was extremely disappointed, but after being thrown into prison, he also thought about it a lot, and the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. That's right, it's a misunderstanding no matter how you look at it. He and his brother are mixed in the army, and it is normal to go home in a military uniform, and he looks a little similar to himself, and when the black light is blind, Motia is mistaken. That's right, it must be. Later, when he ran away screaming, Bacheng was really scared. She kills people like hemp, and her hands are covered with blood, but she is just an eldest lady hiding in the depths of the boudoir, and this reaction is normal when she sees blood and dead people.

Thinking so, Fatis became more and more painful, more and more regretful, he regretted why he drank so much, why he couldn't calm down, why he suddenly forgot all the dogmas of knights... Therefore, even after being released from prison, there is no way to escape the punishment in his heart, and he himself seems to think that he has lost everything and has lost the opportunity to embrace her, so every time he just looks at her from a distance, it can be regarded as soothing the thoughts in his heart.

However, now, thinking that he might not see his lover for a whole month or a whole year in the future, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to pluck up the courage to meet her.

Looking at such an infatuated Fatis, Mu didn't know what to say. Tell him directly, "Your wife ran away with someone and brought you a green hat"? Believe it or not, the angry Fatis flattened you first, and let out of your anger.

"Say," Mu shook the black cloak on his body, the cold wind of early winter, even in Svadia is still steep, "It's time to Suno tonight, is there a big brother who is familiar with Suno to introduce where to live tonight?"

Hearing this, the veterans looked at each other. They usually live in military camps, and if you ask where the wine is good, or where the prostitutes are beautiful, it's okay to say, but when you ask which hotel can accommodate so many people... That's really not good.

Fatis coughed awkwardly, and Knight Meier turned his face away. As high-end people in the kingdom, they knew about some high-end taverns, but now that the team itself is not rich, how can they introduce Mu to those gold caves?

Seeing this, Mu sighed, "By the way, you've lived in Suno for so long, don't you even know this?"

"Boss, we don't need to know this. A veteran replied aggrievedly.

That's right, because it's not necessary, so I don't know about it, and even if I hear some of it, I don't remember it. Just like I ask you now, what is the name of the most cost-effective three-star hotel in your city, can you answer?

"Well, forget it. Mu touched his nose and led the team into Suno City.

。。。。。。

"Ah, you ask about a hotel that can accommodate so many of you, and it's very affordable, it's easy to say!" In front of Mu, there was a thin man walking, with a rickety figure and not very good clothes, "I recommend it to you, Summer, War Wind, and the Green Family." ”

"Oh?" Hearing a familiar name again, Mu's heart moved, but he still asked, "Can you introduce me?"

"First of all, Summer, which is a hotel invested by the most famous Mingxia Winery in Paravon, which specializes in Mingxia ale, so if you like to drink, Summer is a good choice. It's just that this inn only sells alcohol, and if you want something to eat, you'll have to look elsewhere. ”

"So, what about Warwind?"

"Zhanfeng is a hotel opened by a retired veteran, it is built like a military camp, and the environmental conditions are not good, but he is better at a very cheap price, and the place is even more spacious, and many mercenary groups and bounty hunters like that place. It's just that... ”

Mu understood the second half of what he wanted to say, bounty hunters, where the mercenary group liked, the order would definitely not be good.

"What about the Green family?"

"You're on point, I highly recommend the Greens to you!" the man grinned with a flattering smile.

"Oh, how do you say?"

"Ah, the Green's Hotel is opened by a family, the owner is called Green, usually entertains guests at the bar, he is bold and generous, and everyone likes him. His mother-in-law is generally in the back kitchen, and her craftsmanship, tsk, really didn't say. A pair of their sons and daughters are responsible for entertaining guests, which can be regarded as sensible and interesting. The most important thing is that their service is very attentive, as long as you say hello, hot water, towels and everything will be ready with you, if you add a little more, and... Hey, hey, hey. ”

Mu pursed his lips, looked at the crowd behind him and said, "Okay, let's go to Green's house." ”

"Okay, I'll show you the way!"

。。。

"This person knows Su Nuo very well, more than I, who was born in Su Nuo. Fatis stroked his beard, a little ashamed.

"Of course, he's a professional broker, so he eats here. Mu smiled.

A broker is a kind of "businessman" who is active in the streets and alleys of various cities and makes a living by brokering various businesses. They don't have their own goods, their own caravans, but no one knows a city better than they do. Not to mention a nice hotel, if you are looking for a red light district or an underground black market, they can also talk about it. In a sense, they are similar to intelligence traffickers.

"Looks like this Grimm inn seems to be very good," Fatis didn't hear the last half of the sentence, "and it must make sense for him to recommend it so kindly." ”

The reason is that he gets the highest commission in this hotel. Mu smiled, "In the profession of broker, if the business is successfully matched, but there is a commission, they will live by this." ”

When Fatis heard this, he was furious, "This guy lied to us!"

"I didn't lie to you, knight. The broker who led the way in front turned his head and smiled, "Although we get a commission, we also have rules." Our information must be accurate, and if we say that this hotel is good, it will not be bad! Intelligence is the foundation of our survival, and no matter how much money we take, we will not dare to lie about it. Green's Hotel is indeed good, and Boss Green's hand is more generous, so I will say a few more kind words. But even if he didn't give money, I would still recommend it to you. ”

Fatis looked at the little boss suspiciously, and when Mu saw this, he also smiled and said, "This gentleman is right, I have heard some of the reputation of the Green family in Paraven, which is why I finally chose it." ”

Fatis nodded and bowed down to apologize to the broker, who was startled and hurriedly took two steps back, not daring.

Soon, they were at the door of the inn.

In the already purple sky, the smoke of the inn rose into the air, and under the starlight, the light from the trapdoor warmed the block in front of the inn, followed by a cacophony of laughter, which made the city come alive at night.

"A nice inn indeed. Mu smiled slightly.

"Of course, I've been in this business for more than ten years, so it's impossible to lie to you. The broker laughed, and then called the boss's son to arrange for the horses.

Walking into the hotel, I was greeted by the boss's loud voice, "Haha, there are new guests coming." Come on, come on, please!"

Mu smiled, and after arranging the veterans' tables, he followed the broker to the bar to book a room, and then ordered. The boss is an interesting person, and after talking to Mu for a few words to confirm his intention to stay in the hotel, he asked his daughter to serve some ready-made food such as bread, cabbage, and ale wine to the veterans, and then slowly discussed some details with him.

When Mu returned to the table after finishing the room, the veterans who had been on the road for a day couldn't help but feast. Mu also picked up a piece of bread and broke it little by little. This inn really lives up to its name, although this bread is ordinary, but the proprietress ingeniously added some small carrot cubes, so that not only does the bread become sweeter, but also after tearing the dough, the bright orange-red radish demon is mixed in the pale golden flocculent bread meat, just looking at it also makes people appetizing.

It wasn't long before the chubby proprietress came out of the kitchen with a huge ham on her shoulder, and with a thud she lay on the veterans' tables, then took a cleaver from the pocket of her apron, swooped it into the center of the ham, and then turned and walked away. This heroic gesture drew applause from all around. Soon, the boss's daughter was sweating profusely and set up a brazier on the side of the table, so that the guests could keep warm and the guests who didn't like cold food could grill the cold ham.

Ham is not that tasty. You must know that this kind of food can be used as a military reserve food, and the biggest requirement for reserve food is that it should be stored long enough. Ordinary ham, after smoking and long-term air drying, the moisture has long been lost, and the whole pork leg is as hard as a firewood stick. In some burlesques, there is a plot similar to the protagonist who can't find a weapon when he fights with the enemy, so he picks up the ham hanging on the wall and beats it randomly, yes, it's true, a ham that has been dried long enough can indeed be used as a blunt weapon, or that kind of heavy one.

Of course, on the other hand, this kind of ham certainly doesn't taste much better. Due to the long storage, the surface of most hams is already covered with mold, but due to the large amount of salt and even spices, the inside does not spoil. Therefore, when marching, the chef will generally peel off the skin and then cut the intact part of it into the soup pot and cook it one by one. In this way, the ham will be soft and the soldiers will be able to bite into it, and the soup will also be filled with salt, so that the soldiers can fight longer when they eat it. It's just this ham... Don't talk about umami, thank goodness for not having a musty smell.

However, Mu poked the ham on the table with a knife, which was soft, indicating that it was not completely dried. Looking at the color of the meat, it is also a little bright red, and it looks more "fresh". With some hesitation, he cut off a small piece, burned it on the brazier, and put it in his mouth. The meat is very tough because it is dried, and the salting is also very good, so that the whole meat tastes good, but it is not obvious. Well... A unique fragrance must be spiced, but the taste of this spice is very common, and it should be the kind of bargain that ordinary people use. Mu couldn't help but sigh, saying that the proprietress was really insulting to her for her good craftsmanship. With her ability to apply ordinary and even lowly ingredients to the fullest, if cooking can also become a subject in college, it would be appropriate for this proprietress to be a professor.

Just as the demons were dancing wildly on the table, the little boss noticed that Fatis was unusually quiet, taking a sip of ale while looking around.

He leaned over, but saw that Fatis's hands were shaking as if they were convulsive, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Those two," the knight whispered to the two men sitting at the table in the corner, "Motia's guards, though they have been disguised, but I have often dealt with them before, and I recognize them. ”

"And the table that just came over there. His chin tilted imperceptibly, "Laugra's squire used to like to trouble me. ”

"Hah, that's lucky. Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

"yes, that's lucky. Fatis also trembled with excitement.
