Walking through the well-organized market, the two prepare to go to the tavern in the city to find out the news. Suddenly www.biquge.info crowd began to stir up in the streets, and the owner of the grocery store shouted, "Execution, execution, the state criminals are finally going to be executed." ”

The crowd that got the news rushed towards the central square, and Rex and Barbas were pushed by the crowd to the square in the Plains. This square is small in size and can accommodate more than 200 people at most. In the center of the square, there is a square stone platform, about 10 meters long and wide, and there are steps up and down on both sides of the stone platform.

On the stone platform were seven kneeling men, six men and one woman, their hands tied behind their backs. The four wurmians knelt together on the right, the Nord woman knelt in the middle, and an orc and tigerman on the left. The criminals all bowed their heads, surrounded by tigerman soldiers with long swords in their hands.

A tall, muscular tiger executioner stood on the edge of the stone platform with a huge execution axe in his hand. The general-like tiger man stood in front of the criminals in full armor and began to speak to the crowd around the stone platform.

He convicted seven people, the Argonian for conspiracy to assassinate the king, the Orc for conspiracy to rebel, and the Nord woman for adultery with the Tiger Youth. King Thor Amuron sentenced them to beheading.

The order for execution began, and the executioner came over with a giant axe, grabbed the orc, and pinned him to the ground. The orc's face was full of panic, and he began to struggle and shout incessantly, and the two guards next to him rushed over and assisted the executioner in holding down the criminal who was rolling around, and the executioner's expression was cold, not at all affected by the orc's cry, he slowly raised the giant axe, raised it above his head and swung it down vigorously, and the prisoner's head seemed to hesitate for a moment before rolling to the ground. A large amount of blood gushed out of the carotid artery, and the body suddenly became weak and weak, soaking in a pool of blood.

The executioner walks over, holds up his head to show the audience from all angles, and greets the audience like a comedian. The crowd around him raised their arms and shouted, applauding his dexterity. The entire crowd was intoxicated with the joy of killing.

The next person to be beheaded was the tiger man, his body trembling incessantly, and he cried out with a crying voice, "I have been wronged, I am not guilty, we are innocent." ”

The two soldiers still ignored him and just pinned him to the ground. The executioner raised his axe and cut it down, which landed on the ear, slicing open the tigerman's face, and blood splattered out. The prisoner lay on the ground, his limbs shaking, like a wounded horse. The soldiers grabbed his legs and arms to keep his head from moving, so that the executioner could resume execution, and eventually cut off the tigerman's head.

Next, the soldiers and executioners cut off the heads of the woman and the argonian. With satisfied expressions, the people discussed and spoke in detail about the performance they had just made, until they left the square and returned to the tavern, where they still commented on the executioner's slashing methods. After the people dispersed, the whole street and square returned to calm.

Darkjewel Cataria was almost fainted by the scene of the execution, the brutality of the killing was exactly the same as what the Tiger People did when they invaded their homeland, slaughtering every life that should have existed. She thought of her father, her mother, her people and neighbors, the good people with whom she had lived, all of whom had been ruthlessly deprived of their lives just now.

She had witnessed the cruelty and savagery of the tiger soldiers, and now that she saw such a ruthless and murderous scene again, her wounded emotions were torn apart again, and the fear and fear made her feel suffocated, even if she was by Rex's side, she still couldn't get rid of the shock that the killing brought to her heart.

She trembled and rode on horseback, and Rex and Barbas walked a few streets to the Thorn Tavern, the most popular building in Thorn City. The tavern is a strange circular building, different from the imperial tavern because the whole house is made entirely of wood, ten barrel-thick columns are rooted in the ground to form the skeleton of the house, between the columns is a wall of sleepers, the wall is covered with a circular dome, and in the center of the dome is a red lace hanging flag, on which are written the words "Thorn Tavern", and the hanging flag flutters in the air in the wind.

Compared to the shabby Hunter's Tavern, the décor here is luxurious. Stepping into the tavern, on the left hand side is a row of rectangular tables filled with diners. In the corner of the wall stands a lifelike specimen of a roaring black bear. This was followed by two rooms, which were cleaned by the maid Mogna.

Three fancy chandeliers hang from the cantilevers of the tavern's roof, and arm-thick candles are lit in the stands. Just by looking at the carvings and craftsmanship of the lampstand, you know that it came from the hands of imperial craftsmen. In the center of the room is a jousting arena where the Tiger warriors like to have a good time to eat and drink. This kind of exciting entertainment always arouses the onlookers and shouts of the guests, and also fully stimulates the fun of everyone to come to the tavern for fun.

On the right is the service counter that runs the tavern. The tavern keeper was a sturdy girl, about twenty-five years old, with brown skin and black eyes. The forehead, between and below the eyes, and on the cheeks are covered with small black spots, and there are five rows of oblique whiskers above each side of the mouth, a row of sharp teeth is exposed at the corners of the mouth, and two soft ears stand on the left and right of the head, swinging back and forth flexibly with the high and low voices. She wears an off-the-shoulder robe with flowers and a belt-woven belt. When he saw the two of them walking in, he greeted them warmly.

"Good afternoon, my name is Issodar, welcome to the Thorns Tavern, how can I help? She said.

Cataria picked a high stool and sat down, and Rex and Barbas sat next to her, looking at the Tiger Girl. Rex said, "Please give us two glasses of dragon breath, on the rocks, and a glass of apple juice, at room temperature." ”

"Wait, why don't you give me a drink?" Cataria glared at Rex with her green eyes.

"Because you're too small, it's only suitable for apple juice. Rex explained.

Barbas laughed from the sidelines.

"What's so funny, I'm grown up to drink like you guys, I don't drink apple juice, give me wine!" she argued.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, just do as I said two glasses of dragon breath wine and one glass of apple juice. ”

"Okay, wait a minute. With a smile on his face, Isodal turned around and took out a crimson bottle from the wine cabinet, then took two silver wine glasses from the counter and placed them on the table, poured them full, and threw two pieces of ice into each of them, pushing them in front of them.

"Enjoy, two," said Isodal in a sweet voice. At the same time, she placed a glass of green apple juice in front of Cataria.

"I don't drink. Cataria was a little angry, and she pushed the cup away, twisting her face to the other side, pretending to be very angry.

Rex picked up the glass and took a sip. Suddenly, a penetrating cooling sensation spread to every inch of the body.

"Hah! This wine is really good. Barbas said with a little surprise, "The Harggs Tower doesn't have such a good wine. ”

"I can see that the two guests have good taste. Dragon's Breath is a fine wine for the nobles of the Imperial Palace, and ordinary tigers or merchants would not choose it. Isodal said with round eyes in the eye.

"Yes, even in the Empire, Dragon's Breath isn't often available, but it's my favorite. Rex said.

"So, you two must be visiting Thorn City for the first time, right?" Isodar crossed her hands and placed them on the counter, and Rex saw that the backs of her hands were covered in brown fluff.

Barbas, who was closing his eyes and enjoying a good drink, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "How can you see that?"

Isodar smiled mysteriously, and continued, "Although the Thorn Tavern has been around in this city for a long time, the service to its guests is also very good. However, in terms of small tricks, it is still inferior to the taverns in the Plains, and skilled old businessmen still like to patronize the taverns in the Plains, such as the Alai Inn and the Mermaid Tavern. ”

"What's so special about them compared to here? Rex asked, holding his glass.

Isodal smiled, "You'll feel at home there, the maid's smile is as charming as the scenery here, especially for male customers, it has a huge magic. ”

"Just listening to you, I can't help but want to go over there. Barbas couldn't hold back his excitement and said loudly. Rex shook his head with a wry smile.

"Seasoned businessmen always find something more interesting in the city, and they enjoy it. Only first-time travelers to the city would choose to spend time at the Thorn Tavern, and it's clear that you are. "Isodar is very confident in his analysis.

"That's right, we're here. Rex said embarrassedly.

Isodar breathed a long sigh of relief and said softly, "Anyway, since you are here, you can live here with peace of mind, and I believe that the scenery of this city will not disappoint you." Issodar said.

The two nodded, expressing complete faith in Isodal's words.

After Isodar's warm hospitality, the three of them moved into the rooms of the Thorn Tavern. By the time the maid Mogna had respectfully exited the room, a sleepy Cataria had fallen asleep on her bed. Barbas couldn't wait to jump over and say, "Can't sleep, Rex." ”

Rex put down the sword he was wiping and looked at Barbas, "What do you want?"

Barbas grinned weirdly and said, "How do you feel about the wine and the beauty of such a wonderful city?"

"Let's be honest, do you want to go to the Plains District!"

Barbas squirmed and said, "I want to verify it, I'm waiting for your opinion now." ”

Rex put the sword back in his scabbard and placed it on the desk. Then fold your hands behind your neck and recline on a couch made of low rattan weaving. "The daytime killings still make me feel sick, and I don't want to talk about it. ”

Barbas felt bored, looked at Rex lying on the sofa in a daze, and said to himself, "It's really shocking, although we have killed many people before, but it is not as complicated as this beheading." ”

"Babas, you're less and less like a dog. Rex laughed.

Babas also laughed, "Since starting the adventure with you, I've also felt a change in myself, and it's amazing. ”

There was a sharp knock at the door.
