Chapter 15: The Tavern Fight
"What's wrong with you? Is it fighting with someone in the room?" Leo, who had stopped exploring psionic energy, went downstairs and came to the herb shop before, when Nelson happened to put the potion he had just concocted on the table into a special box, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Leo walk in. Because although the scars on Leo's face had been healed by psionic energy just now, there were still some obvious bruises that had not gone away.
"It's nothing, it's my own fight. Leo told the truth, but hid the process, and Nelson was stunned for a moment, and then Leo's eyes swept around the room and said, "Where's Jason?"
"He was bored just now, and went to the inn's tavern to drink. Nelson pointed in the direction of the tavern, put all the medicines in his backpack, and asked Leo, "Do you still need a room?"
"No, you can go up!" Leo walked towards the outside of the store, paused at the door, and added, "But things are a little messy, you may need to tidy up." ”
With that, he left Nelson, who looked dazed, and walked towards the tavern in the inn.
The Tower Inn has a high and low level tavern, the high class is located in the black market of the hotel, mainly for black market traders, and the wine here is almost always high-end from all over the world.
The other low-class taverns are on the street side of the high-end taverns, and the two taverns are divided into the inside and outside by a thick, solid soundproof wall. This tavern is full of hunters and mercenaries who have lived in Rabbitskin Town for a long time, and basically the business on the black market is negotiated, and if you need to hire mercenaries or hunters to do something, you will send the news directly to the bulletin board of the tavern here through a pipe.
Because the Lower Black Forest entered the Foggy Moon, the work in the hands of the mercenaries and hunters in the town has been reduced a lot.
The mercenaries are not bad, but some of the protection work related to the Black Forest has been reduced, and the caravan guarding work on the other side has increased a lot. Because the buyers of Rabbit Skin Town have planned to hoard goods, and when the price of this hoarded goods rises in the foggy moon, the trade of various Black Forest specialties in the town has not only increased but increased, and the caravans to and from the town have also increased, and the need for mercenary guards is naturally not a few.
Compared to the mercenaries, who are still happy and busy, the hunters who rely entirely on the Black Forest for food are living a little miserable. The appearance of the Foggy Moon completely cut off the livelihood of the hunters, and they had nothing to do but wander around the tavern every day, waiting for the Foggy Moon to end, so drunken fights and other things have become the norm in the tavern, and many times the reason for the fight is inexplicable, and a word or a look can become the cause of the fight, such as what happened to Jason now.
At this moment, Jason was clutching the stool that had only one leg left, glaring viciously at the hunters around him who had already pulled out daggers, short knives, etc. Although he was not at all afraid of the current situation on the surface, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that if no one came to his rescue, he might die at the hands of these Black Forest hunters today.
Until now, Jason didn't understand how he could get into a fight with these outlaws after drinking well.
All he remembered now was that he had just watched a beautiful hostess and whistled, and the people next to him were yelling at him in a language he didn't understand.
At first, he always remembered Leo's instructions not to cause trouble, so he ignored this person, but then this person suddenly took the wine bottle and buckled it directly on his head, and when he started to move, it was naturally impossible for him not to fight back, so he also picked up a stool and fought back.
After two strikes, he knocked down this man, and after overthrowing two or three hunters who came to support, it became the situation where he was besieged by a dozen hunters as he is now.
"Damn! I shouldn't have been greedy if I knew I shouldn't have come here to drink alone!" Jason looked at the situation around him, and couldn't help but curse to the self who wanted to drink.
At this moment, among the hunters surrounding him, a strong man with a red beard suddenly stood up, this strong man carried two Panir battle axes in his hand, threw one of them to the ground, and yelled at Jason, looking like he was asking for a duel with Jason.
Although the strong man looked very strong, Jason was not afraid, and now that there was no way out, he had the idea of killing one and killing two to make money, so he was ready to crouch down and pick up the Panir tomahawk.
"Wait!" Just then, a loud voice came from the door of the tavern, although the voice was in French, but Jason heard that it was Leo's voice, so he stood up again, and turned his head to look at the place where the voice had come from.
Leo, who was a little bruised on his face, walked in from behind the crowd very calmly, and was about to enter the encirclement when he was stopped by two hunters.
Leo seemed to be blind to the two people blocking in front of him, turned his head to look at an old hunter sitting by the fire in the tavern not far away, holding a beautiful waitress in his arms, and smiled: "The people inside are my companions, I am here to solve the problem, are so many of you Blood Axe still afraid of the two of us?"
In fact, when Jason knocked down the three people and was surrounded just now, Leo had already come to the tavern, but he did not show up, but stood in the tavern, and after understanding the surrounding situation and terrain, he walked out of the crowd when Jason, a daredevil, was about to make a decision.
Just now, Leo learned that the group of hunters that Jason had provoked was a hunter gang from Rabbitskin Town, and the leader of the gang was an old hunter named Boer from Panir, a small country in the mountains of Moissanite, and because he would let all his gang wear a Panir battle axe, he was also known as the Blood Axe Gang.
Although the old hunter was an outsider, his strong jungle survival ability also impressed many local hunters, who joined his gang and were willing to obey his command, and over time formed a large gang of more than 300 hunters.
Because most of the hunters recruited by the old hunter were outlaws, the other gangs in Rabbitskin Town didn't want to provoke him easily. In the same way, Leo didn't want to provoke a group of outlaws who were very familiar with the Black Forest environment at this time, not to mention that the reason for this incident was just because Jason was a cheap woman to tease other people.
After hearing Leo's slightly defiant words, the old hunter smiled hideously on his scarred face, and then raised his head at his men, signaling for them to be let in.
From the middle of the two people who got out of the way, Leo, who walked into the surrounding field, came to Jason's side, before he spoke, signaled him not to speak, and then went up and down a lot, checking that there were no big injuries on his body, only some skin injuries.
Leo lowered his posture and said to the old hunter: "I have learned about the situation just now, this matter is my companion's fault, we are willing to apologize and give compensation, I hope Mr. Boer can ......"
"I'm not short of money," before Leo finished speaking, a lazy voice interrupted him, and then saw the old hunter pat the woman's fat ass with his hand, signaled to get up, and then stood up, walked to the periphery of the hunter's encirclement, looked at Leo contemptuously, and said, "Anyway, we're all bored now, let's solve it according to the blood fight!"
"Yes, we're not short of money!"
"We're going to see the blood fight!"
"Boy, this is the rule of Rabbitskin!"
............
The hunters and mercenaries around who were not the Blood Axe Gang responded loudly to the old hunter's greeting for fear that the world would not be chaotic, and the atmosphere in the tavern was hot.
Leo's expression remained unchanged, he glanced at the people around him, turned his head to the bartender who was wiping his glass in the counter behind him and asked, "Won't your boss stop making trouble in the tavern?"
Obviously, Leo was not the first person to ask such a question, and the bartender quickly answered, saying: "This kind of thing happens often, if something is broken, they will pay for it themselves, and they will also dispose of the body of the dead, and these things can also make the tavern look lively, of course the boss has no opinion." ”
Hearing the bartender's words, Leo turned to look at the high-spirited hunters and mercenaries around him, chuckled and shook his head, and said to himself, "It seems that there is no reconciliation." With that, he motioned for Jason to step back a bit, then walked over to the Panier battle axe on the ground, and asked the old hunter, "Mr. Bourg, what are the rules of the blood fight?"
Seeing Leo seem so calm, as if no one around him existed, the old hunter suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He has traveled south and north for so many years, and has traveled and adventured on three continents, so he is naturally well-informed. He was able to live well, and not die on the road like those who came out of his hometown with him, because he had a good eye, and was able to distinguish who could and could not be provoked.
When Leo walked in from the outside, he could see at a glance from the details of Leo's body that Leo was not a powerful person who could not be provoked, and his body shape could easily judge that this person was either a blacksmith or a lumberjack before, so he looked so aggressive.
But now, when Leo stood calmly in front of him, revealing that cold eyes that ignored everything, he felt that maybe he had misjudged, but unfortunately he had already let his words out, and if he softened at this time, I am afraid that he would not want to stay in Rabbitskin Town any longer.
Although there was uneasiness in his heart, the old hunter's face did not show it, but looked more fierce, and the expression on his face became more hideous, and he said in a low voice full of oppression: "The rules of the blood fight are very simple, that is, pick up the axe under your feet and fight with the three people we selected, you can survive, and this matter is over." ”
Leo smiled and nodded, bent down to pick up the Panier battle axe from the ground, waved it casually, as if he was getting used to this unique weapon, and then said, "Let's go! Hurry up and get it done, I'll go back to my room and rest." ”
Seeing Leo's casual appearance, the old hunter's eyes involuntarily narrowed slightly, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
"Be the first to let me come. At this time, the red-bearded strong man who stood up before was already impatient, and he was ready to do it as soon as he shouted.
"Wait. The old hunter reached out and grabbed his man's shoulder, pulling him back into the crowd, a little bewildered, and then pointed to a thin young man leaning against a pillar not far away, with two scimitars pinned to his waist, and said, "Albert, come!"
Hearing the old hunter's order, not only the people around the Blood Axe Gang were stunned, but even the people in the tavern who were familiar with the Blood Axe Gang were also stunned.
The first person selected by the old hunter to participate in the blood fight is very unusual, he is one of the few non-hunter members of the Blood Axe Gang, specializing in solving some troubles on the territory of the Blood Axe Gang's rabbitskin town, and there are at least a dozen people who have died in his hands, because he often likes to use a pair of scimitars to slit the throat of his opponent, so he has the name of a throat cutter.
Although he is not the strongest person in the Blood Axe Gang, including the old hunters, no one in the Blood Axe Gang thinks that they can take him down in a one-on-one situation.
Albert, the throat cutter, was also a little surprised to hear that he was named, he raised his eyebrows, walked over, and then looked at Leo as his opponent, and said with a little contempt: "Three seconds." ”
After speaking, he saw that his body suddenly moved, and he rushed towards Leo at a very fast speed, and the double knives on his waist also appeared in his hand in this hand, like two beast teeth, and bit towards Leo's neck.
At this moment, everyone thought that Leo would definitely die, because Albert's movements were so sudden and fast that even the old hunter did not notice it in advance, and even thought that in the case of reciprocity, he might not be able to take this wave of surprise attacks.
However, in the next moment, Albert, who was still considered to be victorious, rose into the air as if he had hit a wall, flipped his head on the spot, fell to the ground, and added a Paniel tomahawk on his forehead that almost split his skull entirely.
The tavern fell silent for a moment, and even the bartender behind the counter forgot to wipe the glass in his hand.
It took a while for everyone to realize what had happened, and the noise reappeared in the tavern. It's just that this time is different from just now, and everyone can't help but lower their voices and whisper about what happened just now.
Not to mention that these people who watched the excitement didn't know why the tomahawk in Leo's hand appeared on Albert's head, even the old hunter who was a few steps away and kept staring at Leo didn't know when Leo threw the tomahawk.
Leo, who created all this unusual atmosphere in the tavern, was still calm and indifferent on his face, but his heart was already full of shock and excitement.
Because the action of throwing the battle axe just now was completed with the battle mode of the perfect control skill activated by the psionic energy, he did not expect that after entering this mode, his agility and strength would be so greatly enhanced, it was almost several times enhanced, almost the same as his past biological weapon body.
