————————————————————————————————————————

Just as Alleyne and the other mercenaries stood up and were about to show off their weapons.

A beautiful woman's voice came from the stove on the far right: "Papaya, have you made enough trouble? ”

In the face of this woman's reprimand, the strong man and his companions did not dare to say anything, but retreated to the corner of the hall in horror.

"It's not a good idea to cause trouble here," Tessia's voice was the first to break the tension, "if you bring in the beard and the soldiers, I'm afraid you'll have to spend the night in the filthy dungeon tonight." ”

The bearded man in her mouth was the officer who had extorted more than a dozen dinars from Manid outside the city gates.

This bearded man was the commander in charge of the defense and security of the entire castle, and before entering the city, he had sternly warned the mercenaries not to make trouble in the city.

"Thank you, beautiful lady, for your kind reminder," Alleyne eased the mood without a trace, "It's not that we're trying to cause trouble with you, it's that your men are deliberately stirring up trouble." ”

Aren didn't want to cause any trouble in the city, if he was locked up in a dungeon by a group of Vegia soldiers for fighting in the tavern.

I'm afraid that the next morning, Manid will have to spend a considerable amount of dinars to get them out of the dungeon.

Alleyne found that the proprietress in front of her was very young, and although she didn't know her real age, she looked like she was thirty years old at most, and she was indeed born beautifully.

He has a tall, sturdy figure, snow-white skin, a beautiful face, golden curly hair, and sky-blue, flexible and expressive eyes. The dark blue robe with gold lace, gold bracelets, and pale blue carved bands all clearly indicate that she was not an ordinary tavern hostess, but like a noble young woman!

"That fool may have drunk too much to offend you," said her haughty, poised, moving, cold, and radiant. "But your companion just taught him a lesson, didn't he?"

Alleyne said with a light smile: "Then you have to discipline your subordinates, otherwise no one will dare to come to you again." ”

"I think that's it, tonight's drink money is mine, and I should make a friend. An irresistible smile rose to the corner of the proprietress mouth.

"Since the proprietress is so open, then we are welcome. "Alleyn just happened to borrow the donkey from the slope, and he didn't want to lure the Virgian soldiers because of a drunken man.

Suddenly, with a "brush", the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and almost all the drinkers in the hall instinctively looked up at the door, only to see a team of heavily armed soldiers led by another maid walked in.

At this time, the drinkers realized that the other maid had already left the tavern, and quickly brought the patrol guard in charge of security.

Alleyne couldn't help but think to herself, it seems that this boss lady's identity is extraordinary.

The sturdy guards quickly separated the mercenaries from the drinkers and surrounded them.

"Didn't I say it, don't make trouble in the city," the bearded officer asked, staring at Alleyne coldly, "I want to know what's going on here!"

"I think it's better for the proprietress to answer this question, Lord Guard. Alleyne replied calmly, "What do you say?"

Alleyne turned to the bar where the hostess was, and owed a debt. He behaved like a noble knight at the moment.

"My lord, there was just a little misunderstanding, and nothing unpleasant happened. The proprietress stepped out of the bar and walked towards them with graceful steps.

"Is that really the case?" the bearded officer asked with some scathing, "how did I hear your maid say that these mercenaries are showing their weapons?" ”

"Absolutely nothing, don't you think I'm all right here?" maybe my maid is too worried," the proprietress smiled, and then took out a few dinars and stuffed them into the other party's hand, "It's really a pleasure for the troublesome lord to bring someone over himself." ”

"Since it's okay, forget it. The bearded man took the gold coins given to him by the hostess and swaggered out of the tavern with the soldiers.

This chaotic tavern of robbers, mercenaries, exiles, ruffians, and thieves is usually reluctant for soldiers to come unless there are special circumstances to be profitable.

The damp tavern hall reverted to its previous noisy atmosphere, and the guests who had waited to see the excitement were obviously disappointed by the ending, but then forgot all about the episode they had so often seen.

"Judging by your outfits, you should be mercenaries!" the proprietress sat down opposite Ellen with a few bottles of wine, "and only someone like you who licks life on the edge of a knife can have such good skills." ”

She is indeed not an ordinary proprietress lady, but she is not a noble young woman, but a member of the main cadre of the Forest Brotherhood, the 'poisonous woman' Tessia.

She was sent here by the leader of the Forest Brotherhood to manage the tavern, which was the property of the Forest Brotherhood. It's not so much an industry as a secret place to attract members.

Without hesitation, Alleyne admitted, "We are mercenaries from Zenda, and we are planning to go to Zhivadine. He uncorked the bottle and poured a full glass into his glass.

"There have been quite a few mercenaries from Chanda lately, but it's a pity that they haven't patronized my little shop like you," the proprietress said nonchalantly, "and these mercenaries didn't even stop in the city for long, and left directly." ”

"They are all a few large, well-disciplined mercenary groups in Chanda City, naturally no better than our unrestrained small teams. Alleyne looked at the other party with a smile and said, "If they all come to patronize your business, I'm afraid you won't be able to fit many people here." ”

"No, there are thousands of these mercenaries, and the size and formation are no different from the regular army," Tessia said in a heartfelt voice, "If it weren't for the thousands of elite Vigian soldiers stationed in Fort Radogil, I'm afraid the lord here wouldn't dare let these mercenaries enter the city." ”

Alleyne listened quietly, trying to get some useful information from the other man's mouth.

The lords' concerns and wariness of the mercenary organization were normal for him, after all, this dangerous continent was full of unknown potential enemies.

Seeing that the other party was silent, the proprietress continued: "I heard that these mercenary groups are all employed by the Swadia Kingdom, I'm afraid that the Swadias will have to fight with the Virgians again." ”

"Don't these two countries do that often?" Alleyne responded. "Either the lion wants to encroach on the snow leopard's territory, or the snow leopard intends to annex the lion's territory. ”

Manid took over the conversation and said a little sourly: "If the lion doesn't fight the snow leopard, we mercenaries won't have anything to do." ”

"Maybe you can do something else," Tessia said playfully, disapprovingly, "like pirates, bandits, bandits,..." She paused for a moment, "or...!"

The other meaning revealed in the other party's words was very clear, but he was unmoved, with an indifferent expression.

"Bandits, bandits, that's the specialty of the Swadias and the Rhodoks," Alleyn noted. "And pirates are only suitable for the able-bodied Nords. ”

"It looks like you've made your decision, so I'll have to wish you the best of luck for the rest of the day. Tessia gracefully got up and left.

"Head," said Stunger softly after the other party had walked away, "I don't think this woman is simple. ”

Mo Cha leaned over and asked quietly, "Boss, have you heard of the 'poisonous woman' Tessia?"

Alleyne tried to find information about the name in his head. He thought about it seriously and muttered, "One of the three backbones of the Forest Brotherhood, could it be that she is..."
