Chapter 07: Challenge the Bloodpier
Peers are enemies, and the relationship between the three major mercenary groups in Huaolez City has always been very tense.
The Piercing Blood Mercenary Group and the Wolf Fox Mercenary Group are both veteran mercenary groups with a nearly century-old heritage, and they have been fighting openly and secretly before the rise of the Blue Enchantress.
The rapid rise of the Blue Enchantress Mercenary Group has taken a share of the market share occupied by the two companies, and at the same time blocked the way of the two companies, and the friction between them will naturally not be less. Most of the ways to resolve friction between mercenaries are by force, and they are rarely able to sit down and negotiate calmly, because compromise is often seen as a sign of weakness.
When Tristi urged his fighting spirit, Tony, Angus, and several mercenaries were also ready for battle.
The other mercenaries in the bar, who were close to the two groups of people, hid to the side so as not to be harmed by the pond fish. But no one left, all of them hugged their shoulders and waited with their glasses in their hands.
Even the owner of the bar, Nightingale, didn't come forward to interfere, dragging his chin behind the bar to watch the excitement.
It is common for mercenaries with excess male hormones to drink too much and fight in bars, as long as they don't use their blades and don't kill the nightingale, they don't care at all, anyway, they have to compensate for the broken things according to the price. No mercenary dared to rely on Nightingale's account, and as long as her suitors survived, they were almost all at the level of the leaders of the mercenary groups.
On the verge of an outburst of Tristi's rage, the door to the bar was pushed open again.
"Sister Nightingale, why are you so busy here today?" Adeline, dressed in a gorgeous magician's cloak, walked in.
A smile immediately appeared on Nightingale's face, also a mercenary, and Nightingale and Adeline had a very good personal relationship.
"You're just in time, Tony, the little bastard, drank a little wine, and had a bit of a verbal conflict with Deputy Head Trisdi. ”
Nightingale scolds Tony for actually giving Tristi a step down, trying to take the opportunity to resolve the fight.
"It's such a coincidence, Deputy Head Tristi is also here, I'll invite the brothers of 'Bloodpiercing' to have a drink!" Adeline smiled softly.
Cui Sidi had to collect the fighting energy on his body, and the powerful combat power of an intermediate magician could not be underestimated by anyone. What's more, with Adeline joining, his side may not be the opponent of the Blue Enchantress mercenary.
"We appreciate the kindness of Deputy Adeline, and we still have a few glasses of wine to 'prick blood'. Tristi snorted coldly and led people directly to a table next to him.
A fight is wiped out by Adeline's unexpected appearance.
"Who is this little one? your new magic apprentice?" Nightingale suddenly noticed that Adeline was followed by a little boy.
At this time, Arthur was dressed in a cyan short samurai suit, a pair of brown soft-soled cowhide boots on his feet, and his long black hair was neatly tied behind his head with a cyan headband, revealing a clean little face with a smile between his eyebrows and eyes.
Not only the Yan Ying, but Tony, Angus and others also noticed Arthur at this time, and they opened their mouths in surprise. If it weren't for Adeline, they wouldn't have been able to connect the beautiful boy in front of them with the orc-like Arthur.
"Aunt Nightingale. Arthur greeted politely.
"What a handsome little fellow!, Auntie, if she had seen you when she was young, she would have been fascinated by you!" the nightingale reached out and pinched Arthur's face.
Arthur subconsciously dodged, but found that he couldn't dodge at all.
"He's Brother Randall's newly hired assistant, and Sister Nightingale is famous for his barbecue, so I'll take him to see him. Adeline explained with a smile.
"Oh, poor little fellow, Randall's a weirdo! But your Aunt Nightingale's barbecue will make you forget all the unpleasantness!" Nightingale twisted again in Arthur's face before turning back to the kitchen to prepare something.
Adeline took Arthur and sat directly at Tony and Angus' table.
Tony was still unhappy, muttering, "I really don't understand, why are you so polite to 'Tracy', you should clean up those bloody guys with us!"
"This kind of meaningless bar fight, even if we win, what can we do, and in the end, it's not for Chief Keynes to end it?Tony, we are mercenaries, not those gangsters in the city, and any effort we have to be rewarded accordingly!" Adeline reprimanded Tony with a straight face.
"Uh-huh. Arthur nodded subconsciously as he kept stuffing the roast meat into his mouth.
Tony didn't dare to contradict Adeline, and reached out and slapped Arthur on the back of the head, "What do you little thing know?"
Arthur swallowed the meat in his mouth and rolled Tony's eyes, "I think Adeline-sensei is absolutely right, even orcs know not to fight fearlessly. ”
"Fearless fighting? Do you think I don't know about those stupid orcs? Tony reached out and hit Arthur again.
Arthur was prepared this time, and slipped from his seat to the bottom of the table, "They are fighting for honor and the title of the strongest warrior in the camp." ”
"What we are fighting for now with 'Bloodpiercing' is honor, the honor of the strongest mercenary group in Huaorez City, so what do you say should be done according to the rules of the orcs?"
"Then challenge them openly!" said Arthur, crouching under the table, tilting his head to Tony.
"Challenge?" Tony was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Okay, then you're going to challenge the Bloodpier guys on behalf of our Blue Enchantress, right?"
"Good. Arthur slipped out from under the table and walked straight for Tristy.
"Tony!" Adeline glared at Tony.
"It's okay, if this kid dares to get close to 'Tracy' them, I'll ......"
Tony was only halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by a crisp voice.
"On behalf of the Blue Enchantress, I officially challenge the Bloodthirsty Mercenary Group, do you dare to fight?"
Tristi gritted her teeth and stared at Adeline and Tony with murderous eyes, and it was a naked humiliation to let a child come and challenge herself!
"Don't be like a soft egg, do you dare to fight?" Arthur repeated.
"Soft eggs" is a common term used by orcs when provoking each other, and to Tristi it sounds like another stab in the chest.
Tristi slapped the table, "Let's fight, Adeline, Tony, which of you will come and die!"
"Captain Tristi, you seem to be mistaken, it was me who initiated the challenge, and your opponent is me. Arthur looked at Tristi and said seriously.
Tristi was immediately angry, "Did they let you come to die?"
"No, I asked for it. Don't jump to conclusions until the duel is over. ”
The fighting spirit on Trisdi's body exploded again, pressing Arthur's body and shaking back two steps in a row, "Then do you know that I can easily kill you with one finger!"
Arthur raised his fist and put on a fighting stance, "You can try!"
Tristy raised a finger, and the pale cyan fighting qi extending from the finger was more than a foot long, slowly stabbing at Arthur's eyebrows.
Adeline, Tony, Angus, and the others all stood up, and they couldn't even think about saving Arthur now.
Arthur seemed to be frightened, and he didn't know how to dodge the fighting spirit that stabbed him.
At the last moment, Cui Sidi unexpectedly withdrew his fighting spirit. If you kill a child here today, you will be the target of ridicule by all the mercenaries in the city.
Tristi stared up at Adeline fiercely, "Are you sure you want this kid to challenge?"
"No, I'm coming!" Tony really didn't expect Arthur to dare to challenge Tristi.
Adeline grabbed Tony, who was about to step forward, and nodded slowly, "Yes, we confirm it." ”
Adeline suddenly realized that the kid was gambling, and that he seemed to be halfway there......
