CH.27 The Three Goddesses of Vengeance (I)
The aristocrats always thought that the mainland language was the most beautiful and noble language in the world, but they didn't know that the mainland language was also the most popular language in the "Li Society" that existed in the shadow of the sun, and it had an incomparably rich vocabulary and meaning.

One day in July, Shurasa had just escaped the scorching heat of the day, and the lights were already shining at the very bottom of the city. Two strange young men arrive at a seemingly ordinary bar and push the door in. The usual smell of third-rate bars came to the nostrils, and one of them couldn't help but hide his face.
One of the two has purple eyes, which is rare here; The other one has very ordinary blue eyes.
"Lu Siqing, why did we come to such a place? I know a lot of good places to drink. The blue-eyed youth asked his companion in a low voice.
"We're not here to drink, we're here to investigate the case, Lord Redneck." The purple-eyed youth replied.
"What are you going to do?"
"Stolen goods can only be sold on the black market, you should know that."
"I know, but do you know their jargon? What should I do? β
"No matter where the Chinese society is in mainland Mandarin, you don't have to worry, a friend once taught me how to deal with it. You just have to keep an eye on my back. β
With that, Sogrend went straight to the bar and said to the owner, who was settling accounts, "Give me a dark beer, not with water, but with ice." Give my companion a glass of sweetened milk. β
The boss was a fat middle-aged man with greasy skin that seemed to be dripping with oil. After listening to Sogrande's words, he immediately stopped what he was doing, and after glancing at Sogrande, he skillfully prepared a drink for them. Then he asked, "Do you want any appetizers?" β
"Do you have peanuts and potato chips?"
"It's all, it's all there. Would you like to pick it with me? β
"Let's take a trip, then." Sogrand tossed a silver coin.
The boss called a guy to help him watch the bar and led Sogrand to the back of the shop. Redknapp didn't understand what the two men were talking about, and the air in the store made him uncomfortable, almost rashing. And Sogrand ordered him milk, which tasted nothing in his mouth. Although he wanted a glass of spirits to moisten his throat, the current circumstances made him feel that it was better not to act rashly.
After a long time, Sogrand was graciously sent out by the barkeeper, with fake smiles on both sides. After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, Sogrand picked up Redknapp and walked out.
After leaving the bar, Sogrend whispered to Redknapp, "We have tails behind us, don't look back, find a way to get rid of them." Follow me. β
In the past, when he was at the Non-Commissioned Officer Academy, Sogrand was stalked by his grudgeful opponents for many years. Compared to the regular training of the non-commissioned officers of Falunsi, the ruffians here were like cubs, and Thorgrande was able to easily shake them off after crossing three streets with experience.
"What tricks did you play before, I don't understand?"
"It's simple. I want dark beer which means 'I'll buy black goods', 'Don't mix water, but add ice' means I'm a connoisseur and I'm looking for high quality. Giving you some sweetened milk means 'this is my bodyguard, he's a very powerful mercenary on the road, don't trouble him'. 'Peanuts and potato chips' refer to non-negotiable jewellery and negotiable gold and silver. β
"I see! So what did you gain from later? β
"They promised to make a deal with us tomorrow at noon, and hereβ"
"Galaire?" Redknapp, "It's going east out of town, it's easy, and we're going to catch them all then." β
"It's not that simple, I don't think it's quite right this time. Generally, they should cover their hands for a period of time before they get rid of such large amounts of stolen goods. I'm in too much of a hurry this time, I'm afraid there's something wrong. Sogrend worried.
The Galaire Forest, east of Shurasa, was a gateway for merchants, and thieves were rampant in the past, and the government had been unsuccessful in rectifying them, but in the past year, the thieves here have been weakened in both quality and quantity.
On this day, two young men dressed as priests arrived at a small hotel outside the Galaire Forest, and it was already noon. The cousin at the door of the shop immediately greeted him, ordered the miscellaneous man to lead the two horses to feed the feed, and led the two priests into the shop with a smile on his face. Inadvertently, the cousin glanced at the bulging money bags on the waists of the two of them.
After settling down the two of them, the cousin asked, "What do you want for the two, although the store is small, the variety of goods is quite complete." β
"Bring me the best wine you've got here." One of the blue-eyed priests threw the money bag on the table, which immediately caught the attention of everyone in the store.
The cousin took the order and retreated, and while he was waiting for the wine, another big man ran in. But there were no empty tables in the small shop, so the big man looked at it, walked to the side of the two priests, put the burden on the table, and said, "If you don't dislike it, can you make it convenient and squeeze it down." β
"Yes, but ......," said another purple-eyed priest.
"But what?"
"You're going to let us treat you to a drink, though." The purple-eyed priest spoke in astonishment.
"Then thank you two for your kindness, let me accompany you." The big man is not humble either.
At this moment the cousin brought the wine and three glasses, and the bartender at the bar slowly wiped the glasses, squinting at the young priest filling the glasses.
"Did you bring the goods?" One of the priests asked in a voice that only the three people at the table could hear.
Dahan patted the burden and asked, "What about the money?" When he saw the priest's purse, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Let's make a toast to the beautiful Princess Sigrani!" The blue-eyed one said, holding his glass aloft. His purple-eyed companion raised his glass and was about to drink the liquid from it, when he saw that the people in the store seemed to be expecting them to drink it. He retracted his gaze and saw that the later man had already drunk it all, so he drank it without hesitation.
The three of them were about to drink a second cup, but they all fell on the table, and one cup was spilled on the ground.
"What a fool, this gold coin will be ours for nothing." The cousin happily carried the money bag, and the other tables also laughed. One of them walked up to the three of them and kicked the big man behind, "Don't play dead, let's see what else they have." β
The big man woke up immediately and muttered, "This medicine is too powerful, I took the antidote, and my head is still dizzy." β
As he spoke, the big man went to pick up the purple-eyed priest's cloak, "This sword must be worth a lot of money, and the leader will definitely like it" He was just about to reach out to touch the sword, when a powerful hand clamped his wrist, and when he looked up, it was the purple-eyed priest.
"Ah, you...... You're ......."
"Damn bastards, how dare you tease us with stones." The cousin just opened the money bag.
"The demon's gold will turn into stones in the hands of the bad people who don't keep their promises, and no one has taught you?" The blue-eyed priest also stood up.
"The black eats the black and eats it on our heads. I still want to eat black, and sure enough, professional thieves are faster. The purple-eyed priest was naturally Thorgrande, and he grumbled as he kicked the big man who tried to move his sword away.
"Who are you, officers and soldiers?"
"I don't think there's any need to let the corpse know the name of the gravedigger." The blue-eyed one is, of course, Redknapp.
"Are you...... Forget it, brothers, do it! β
There were eleven enemies in the shop, and four of them were benched; The cousin holds the meat fork in his hand; The rest either with a knife or with a corkscrew. Redknapp rushed into the bar, and the bartender was punched out of the counter before he could resist.
Thorgrande dodged a man's stool and attacked, picked up the drugged wine, and pinched the other man's chin and poured it down. Another man rushed up, and Sogrend kicked the previous one away, turned around and pinched the visitor's nose, and poured it down again. The cousin rushed from behind Saogrand's back with a meat fork, and Saogrande shook it back. The bottle smashed firmly on his head, shattering into pieces, and the cousin fell down with a head full of pottery shards.
Redknapp dodged a flying bench and got up to slam the newly found pan into the reinforcements who had arrived from the kitchen knife with them. The second chair flew in, flashed, got up and slammed the pan again at a guy who was trying to rush up. After that, the plates, forks, spoons and knives in the bar became Redknapp's throwables. He relied on the pan to hold the bar tenaciously. Ten minutes later, the last thief was thrown by Sogrerd to the bar and passed out after being struck with a pan.
"It's been a long time since I've been in a hotel for a while, it's so enjoyable." Redknapp lay on the counter laughing and panting.
"Me too, but in Caiunescu, I usually have to deal with so many people by myself." Thorgrande clapped his hands and said.
"No wonder you're so good."
"Listening to what they just said, it seems that there are other people who are looking for trouble for them." Sogrend said, slamming a man who had just woken up into the wall again.
"I'll find out when I go back and interrogate them later."
"I probably don't know about these minions, but I can guess from what they're actually going to target."
"Their previous actions were actually to hide people's eyes, and the real target was something in the temple, right?" Redknapp was rummaging through a pile of rubble for something.
"The Heinels claim to be the descendants of the sun god, so there should be something in the temple that has something to do with the throne, right?" Sogrend speculated.
"Yes, the crown is now on the emperor's head, but the golden sword representing the sanction is kept by the Sun Temple, so their intention is to get the golden sword. And only one person in the entire empire will need it. β
"Marquis Rossi." Thorgrande unhealedly reveals the mystery.
"Would you like a drink," Redknapp said, pulling out a bottle of wine from the ruins of the cans and cans, "don't think about it that complicated. Here, a toast to the hotel group! Tell me how you got involved with more than a dozen people. β
Saugland took the wooden glass full of wine, took a sip, and said, "You know what?" The Pharians and Parello do not have purple eyes. So in the Non-Commissioned Officer Academy, I was a conspicuous Narcybis dissident. Being abused by others is commonplace, and being beaten by the crowd is also every once in a while. As a result, I gradually learned how to defend myself and how to win against outnumbered opponents when no one was covering my back. In the middle two years of the college, an average of one dozen or twenty a month. β
"So, the Falencians don't treat you well." Redknapp slammed the pan into the head of the other awakened man, "I'm not a lobbyist for Her Royal Highness, but I think you should stay in Mastar." Marry Her Royal Highness the princess and have a lot of children. β
"You may be right," Saugrend smiled, "but I feel that Farensi is the stage on which I can achieve my ideals, and that there is something I am looking for." β
"What is it?"
"I don't know, maybe it's a woman."
"Her Royal Highness the princess will not have a good face when she hears this." Redknapp finds it difficult to understand Sogrande, and in the face of the love of a princess as wonderful as Sigrani, there are men who would want to give up. This kind of person is either an idiot or a god, and the Falencians in front of him are obviously not the former.
"Let's go back." Thorgrande decisively drained the liquid from his glass.
A few minutes later, a squad of armed soldiers burst into the hotel and hunted out the unconscious thieves.
