Chapter IV
Just when Shaman Ronde was nervous and secretly prayed to the ancestral spirit not to have an accident, Sui Xiong had already leisurely walked into a tavern. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The style of Samat Manor is very different from Keane's Town, which is a town with agriculture and commerce as a supplement, and most of the city's residents are rich peasants or small merchants, or veterans who have been veterans, and the whole city has a rather peaceful and warm feeling - probably because the lords and their husbands who have ruled here for twenty years are gentle and soft people, and prefer to live quietly and peacefully. The inhabitants of Samat Manor are mainly adventurers, merchants and active soldiers, who are more ambitious, full of vigor and vitality, but also more vicious and rude.
Taverns, for example, only start serving in the evening, and they mainly sell milder drinks such as rice wine and fruit wine, and the side dishes are usually mellow and easy to digest, such as stewed vegetables and broth, and the prices are relatively cheap. Even if it was only a short time after lunch, the guests already had about half of the guests, and the menu hanging at the bar was impressively super spirits such as "Dwarf Drunk", "Demon Beast Blood", "Iron is Burning" and other super spirits mixed with a small amount of drugs to increase the intensity, and the dishes were mainly rough large pieces of barbecue, and the price was naturally relatively high.
This means that the inhabitants of Samat Manor are more thrill-seekers than the inhabitants of Keene, and it is also a testament to their greater strength - those spirits mixed with drugs are not something that ordinary people can drink, and it is not surprising that ordinary civilians can lie in bed for four or five days, or be carried to the temple for first aid, or even killed.
And...... This also means that the locals are richer than the people of Keene.
"Powerful, rich, and thrill-seeking......" Sui Xiong sat in a corner of the tavern near the door, silently thinking.
He wanted to help Keenling solve his problem, but he didn't want to be noticed. This limited the means and strength at his disposal, but it gave him a different kind of fun.
It's like playing a game, some people like to use modifiers directly, simple and rough and brainless, some people like to follow the normal process and slowly play down, and some people like to put some restrictions on themselves, artificially increasing the difficulty in pursuit of higher fun - Sui Xiong belonged to the second type back then, but now he wants to try the third way of playing.
Anyway, the worst case scenario is nothing more than him tearing off his disguise, showing the identity of a god, and clearing the scene with violence. As for the explanation after the fact - Nima Xiongge has done so many "upside down" things over the years, is this one still missing?
What's more, for the gods to roll up their sleeves and beat people up to defend their followers, this is completely reasonable, and it is much more in line with the rules than the things he has done in the past!
Of course, Sui Xiong still wants to solve the problem through normal means, after all, it is at least more interesting.
Just like now, he could have directly brought out better drinks and more palatable dishes, but he asked for the usual spirits and barbecues, and ate them unhurriedly like an ordinary traveler.
But that's it, he's already got the attention of others.
"Look at that dark-haired kid. Near the bar, a tall man with his head shaved on both sides, leaving only a mane in the middle, pointed in Sui Xiong's direction and said to his companions, "It seems a little weird." ”
"At least two to three percent of the people in this Samat manor are eccentric. His companion, a short, heavily armored man who wore heavy armor even during meals, said nonchalantly, "That guy is still a human, no matter how weird it is, better than an orc or a lizardman or something." ”
"But don't you think it's strange that he looks so weak and travels alone?"
"I don't think so. Another companion, who was drinking, replied succinctly.
"What's so strange about this?" said a short, thin warrior monk dressed in plain cloth with clear water in front of him except for vegetables, "Lone travelers abound, and although this man has no dust on his body and his clothes are neat, he may be a mage. There's a simple spell that makes it easy to do this kind of thing. ”
"But he's in good spirits. The thin man refused to give up, and whispered, "A mage who travels alone must always look a little tired." But you look at him as if he had just left home, relaxed. ”
As soon as he said this, his companions couldn't help but look at Sui Xiong, and then they all frowned.
"Not quite right...... "Isn't quite right," the succinct companion whispered, frowning.
"Even if he came from the nearest Keane city, it would have been at least two or three days of trekking. Even for us professional adventurers, after such a trek, it is impossible to be without fatigue. The warrior monk said in a deep voice, "Unless he is a resident of this city." But I'm sure I've never met him here. ”
"Well, there aren't many people with black hair and black eyes in Samat Manor, and there aren't many people with such a literate appearance, and we can't have seen anyone with both characteristics. The short man muttered, but picked up his glass again, "But what does that have to do with us? ”
"Not necessarily! maybe he's some kind of spy or something...... "The thin man said.
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a short man laughing: "Don't be funny! Have you ever seen such an eye-catching spy?
The thin man thought about it, and laughed dumbly.
As the short man said, the spy profession is to be as unobtrusive as possible, and the appearance is natural and unthinkable, but at least the way to dress and do things should be as ordinary as possible.
The kind of freshly dressed angry horse mellow beauty, the spy whose style is so high-profile that he has no friends, only exists in the story of the bard, and cannot be found in reality.
So even though Sui Xiong looked suspicious, there were at least four or five groups of adventurers talking about him, but no one had come forward to test him.
People have strange appearances, they must have strange abilities, this strange person most likely has strange abilities, adventurers are for money, it is not worth provoking such a person who may be dangerous for a little curiosity.
But just because adventurers don't do it doesn't mean they don't. After about ten minutes, a short man in inconspicuous leather armor walked in with two big men, walked straight to the bar, and then ordered a bottle of expensive wine for each of them, and after a few more words, he quietly retreated to the very corner of the whole tavern.
The two big men obviously did not have much intelligence and were extremely rude. After they finished drinking, they swayed to Sui Xiong with a little drunkenness, dragged two stools from the side, one left and one right, sat down with a big horse and a golden knife, and surrounded him in the middle.
Sui Xiong smiled slightly, not angry or surprised, still calmly drinking and eating meat.
"Hey, brunette!" said a big man, in a rough voice, "how about you change your seat?"
Sui Xiong raised his head and glanced at him, and said with a smile, "You're drunk." ”
"Nonsense, I'm not drunk!"
"You're so drunk. ”
The big man suddenly became angry, clenched his fist the size of a sea bowl, and punched him head-on.
"Drunk mom!"
After a while, the two big men scolded and left, and the adventurers looked at me, I looked at you, their eyes full of wonder.
Sui Xiong, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, was lying in the corner, like a pile of non-recyclable garbage, if it weren't for the normal rise and fall of his chest, I was afraid that everyone would even suspect that he had been beaten to death.
"What's going on?"
"Something is wrong!
"It shouldn't be!"
The adventurers whispered, even not believing their eyes.
"How is that possible? How can that guy be so weak!" the thin man who had spoken before shook his head and said incredulously, "Those are just two rough blanks who don't understand anything, and I can beat ten of them alone!
"Supposedly, better than you. ”
"Nonsense! I can't put on that posture...... But why did he get beaten like that?"
"I don't know. The short man was so engrossed in fighting a large piece of undercooked pork that he only took time out of his busy schedule to say a word of nonsense.
At this time, the warrior monk had already stood up and walked straight towards Sui Xiong, who had fallen to the ground.
"Hey, what are you going to do?"
"Go over and have a look. The warrior monk said without replying, "If I don't see what is going on, if I don't figure it out, I can't understand my thoughts." ”
Under the gaze of almost all the adventurers, he came to Sui Xiong and stretched out his hand to pull Sui Xiong up.
But in the process of his pulling, Sui Xiong's appearance, who was originally black-haired and black-eyed, changed greatly, and turned into a short man wearing gray leather armor, who was the one who brought in with the two big men before.
The warrior monks were stunned, and so were the adventurers.
For a moment, the entire tavern was silent.
After a moment, many people quickly turned their heads to look at the place where the gray-clothed man had been sitting.
Sui Xiong stood up with a smile, and the wine and food on the table had been eaten.
"Checkout. He said to the waiter standing next to the bar, "By the way, give everyone here a drink." Just the kind that the two drunks drank just now. ”
As he spoke, he flicked his fingers, and a gold coin flew in an arc over half of the tavern, landed on the bar, clanged, and turned into a small pile of gold coins, at least twenty or thirty.
The adventurers were stunned again, but this time it was the warrior monk who reacted first, reaching out and opening the small leather bag used to hold money on the waist of the gray-clothed man who was beaten to delirium.
There was no reason for it, but his instinct told him that he should take a look at the inside of the bag.
Sure enough, just as he had guessed, there were bits and pieces in the leather bag, all silver and copper coins, and not a single gold coin could be seen. (To be continued.) )
