Chapter 8: Stories in the Tavern

When little Peter and Uncle William walked out of the Earl's Mansion in a daze, they suddenly felt a pang of regret under the warm afternoon sun. However, when he saw a gentle smile on the resolute face of Uncle William next to him, he suddenly felt that this picture was so beautiful, so he had to keep silent and follow behind Uncle William with his head down.

I don't know how many street corners I crossed, how many circles I went around, and just when little Peter was about to be dizzy, he finally stood at the door of a wooden tavern with what looked like a woodpecker.

He hurriedly looked around, this tavern was located at the end of a not bustling street, and from time to time a few drunkards in tattered clothes came out drunk, scolding as they walked: "What kind of broken wine, it's really unpleasant." Uh, hiccup. ”

He frowned uncontrollably, and subconsciously looked at Uncle William, only to see that Uncle William had already strode into the tavern. Little Peter was stunned for a moment, hesitated, but because he did not know the way back, he had to follow Uncle William into the tavern.

As soon as I entered the door, I was almost vomited by the strong smell of wine, so I had to cover my nose with one hand and fan the wind desperately with the other.

I saw six or seven tables, crammed into a small space, most of which were filled with an earthy-yellow looking liquid. He took a closer look, then cautiously walked through the crowded space to Uncle William.

Before he could speak, Uncle William, as if he knew what he was going to say, shook his hand and motioned to sit down first, and then under the surprised gaze of little Peter, the whole person's temperament suddenly changed from elegant and resolute to decadent and rude. At this moment, Uncle William's whole person and the atmosphere of this tavern completely blended together. Little Peter grew his mouth in surprise, rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked closely, the person was still the familiar Uncle William, but it seemed to be different from his impression.

"This time it's going to be extracurricular tutoring. At this time, William said lazily. The left hand first pointed to himself and Little Peter, then drew a circle to encompass the entire tavern, and continued: "First of all, wherever you go, you must be in harmony with the current atmosphere. You see you're the center of attention in this tavern right now, why, because you don't fit here, you don't look like the person you should be in this kind of place. After speaking, he motioned to little Peter to feel for himself.

Little Peter turned his head and carefully observed, and had to admit that Uncle William was right, and that he was out of place here, and that the drunkards who had been shouting loudly and the attendants who were walking around were watching him in amazement. Little Peter couldn't help but twist his body awkwardly, and quickly sat down in his chair and bowed his head to pretend to be an ostrich.

"Got it, that's the first point we're going to talk about today, and that's the environment. William smiled playfully and said to little Peter.

"But I'm not going to come to the tavern. Little Peter replied stiffly.

"Maybe, who knows what will happen in the future. William smiled, and continued, "Even if you don't come to the tavern, then when you attend various banquets, or even more seriously, when you are in distress and want to escape, you must not still be so conspicuous, right? ”

"Well, Uncle William, I remember. Little Peter shrugged and said nonchalantly. At this time, little Peter suddenly heard: "Hey, do you think this kid is a noble son?" ”

Little Peter couldn't help but turn his head to look at the voice, and saw a few people dressed like mercenaries at the table next to him whispering together, but the two sides were too close, and these people may be used to speaking loudly, so that the whisper was still very clear in Little Peter's ears.

Little Peter pursed his lips slightly, ready to continue listening to Uncle William's preaching. William, however, motioned for little Peter to listen.

", the noble lord can come here. A mercenary was clearly not convinced.

"That's it, the noble lord is so exquisite, can he appear here?" the mercenary next to him echoed.

"Have you ever seen a nobleman, just talking nonsense here. A chubby mercenary was agitated, poured a large glass of wine and said loudly.

"Then you've seen it again. The surrounding mercenaries coaxed.

I saw that the fat mercenary tilted his chin and said triumphantly with his nostrils facing the sky: "Of course, what I have seen is not an ordinary nobleman!"

"Hahaha, don't dream, what kind of nobleman can you see like you, it's just a little lord in the countryside, we don't know how many of that kind we've seen. The mercenaries next to him burst into laughter, drawing the attention of the entire tavern.

Just as little Peter was impatient and frowned, Uncle William said, "This is the second reason why I brought you here, the tavern is an important place to inquire about news. You must remember that as long as you are willing here, you can basically get a lot of valuable information. ”

Little Peter nodded thoughtfully. At this moment, I saw the fat mercenary slam the table, stood up and shouted loudly: "You know a fart, I've seen a real marquis, who of you has ever seen it!"

Hearing this, the laughter around couldn't help but stagnate. The fat mercenary saw that he had successfully suppressed everyone with the news he had exposed, and he couldn't help but be in high spirits again. After taking a big sip of a glass of wine, she coughed a few times in a fake way, straightened her chest and continued: "She is the Marquis of Bavaria. It's not far from my hometown. ”

He smacked his lips, as if considering how to speak, and only after a half ring did he whisper: "At that time I was a small guard of the caravan, and I had the privilege of meeting the marquis with this leader. ”

The fat mercenary said with a look of fascination: "From now on, that beautiful face, gentle smile, sweet voice, and perfect body will be deeply imprinted in my mind." ”

"Haha, look at this guy's stupidity. One of the mercenaries said loudly and scoffingly.

"I see, it's madness. The man next to him chimed in.

"Haha, that's it, it's just a stupid mercenary or something lingering in my mind, I see, it's a spring dream every day. Everyone laughed.

The fat mercenary's hands trembled when he was ridiculed, his face turned red, and he couldn't help but roar loudly: "Shut your stinky mouth, you gang of waste prostitutes in your brains, and you are not allowed to defile the goddess in Lao Tzu's heart." A bunch of lonely and unheard of buns, even the Marquis of Bavaria did not know. Oh, she is so holy and elegant, noble and kind, so rich. If I were the people under her leadership, I wouldn't have eaten enough to run out and take my life to be a stinky mercenary!"

"Haha, the more this person talks, the more addicted he becomes, I really think I'm a big guy. The onlookers were laughing incessantly

And little Peter listened to it and didn't know how to think of the marquis he had seen last time in the church, and he didn't even notice that Uncle William was looking at him with a playful expression.
