Chapter 08: Outside the Bar
Joan, Arthur and the others were suddenly attacked when they reached the door of the bar, and everyone turned sideways to dodge.
The figure that had come out of the bar slammed to the ground, and then got up from the ground with a bone of bones.
Only then did the crowd realize that it was a dwarf who had risen from the ground. This dwarf is only one meter three or four, with a big head, a broad forehead, and a beard on his face that is only a short circle, and he still looks very young.
Dwarves, which are very rare in the Terran interior, are not surprising to appear in the Necronomical Highlands. Moreover, the hostile relationship between the two races is different, and the dwarves are neutral to the two races, and if there is no conflict of interest, they will generally not fight to the death.
The dwarf got up from the ground and rushed into the bar again, but in the blink of an eye, he flew upside down again, heavier than he had just fallen.
Three men with fierce faces walked out of the bar, and a tall man in the middle had a blood-red skeleton tattooed on his neck, and he threw a short-handled crescent axe to the ground, "Take your axe and get out quickly, and if you dare to come in, I will cut off your two legs and make you a legless dwarf!"
There was a burst of laughter from inside the bar, and many people inside looked out at the door.
The dwarf struggled to his feet and picked up the crescent axe on the ground, which was almost the height of the dwarf with its handle.
The dwarf clenched his axe and looked at the man at the door with angry eyes, "Shameless liar, return my gold coins, or you won't be able to kill me." ”
"We have already sold the ore to you, and now you are asking us to return the money, are you trying to cheat?" said a tall and thin man on the left, in a strange manner.
The dwarf took out two silver stones from his bosom that had been cut in the middle and threw them at the tall and thin man, "The ore will be returned to you, this is not a silver star stone at all, but an ordinary silver ingot, you give me back my sixty gold coins." ”
"When we sold it to you at that time, it was a silver star stone, and now you take a piece of silver ingot to return the money, obviously trying to blackmail us. The tall and thin man said with a sneering expression.
"You are liars, you have deliberately lit a silver star on the outside of the silver ingot. ”
"Do you have proof? I think you're a shameless dwarven liar. ”
Of course, the dwarf was no match for this slick man, and he was so angry that the dwarf who couldn't bear it anymore pounced again with a big axe. The dwarf's body leaped to its feet, and a fierce cold light slashed head-on towards the man's face.
"You did it first this time, don't blame us for being rude if you seek your own death. The tall man in the middle stepped forward and punched the dwarf's axe.
The man wore a black fist on his right hand, and a huge tiger head pounced out of the fist with the swing of the fist, and the open mouth of the tiger bit the blade of the dwarf's axe, and the dwarf's axe was difficult to advance.
The man followed and kicked on the dwarf's lower abdomen, kicking the dwarf seven or eight meters away, and the axe in his hand flew out.
The two men next to him immediately rushed forward and kicked the dwarf who fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Although these two men were very heavy, kicking the dwarf in the head and stomach, they were still a little afraid and did not dare to really kill him. Killing a dwarf in full view of the town is likely to provoke the dwarves' frenzied revenge, and the Terran army and church knights will not protect them.
With just a few brief conversations between the two sides, Arthur was able to roughly guess what was going on between the two sides.
The three men must have used the Silver Ingot to deceive the dwarf by impersonating the Silver Star Stone before. The two ores are very similar in terms of appearance and weight, the difference is that the silver star stone is covered with small silver star dots both on the outside and inside, and there are often black-hearted merchants who make small dots on the appearance of silver ingot stone and pass it off as silver star stone, if you don't cut it on the spot, it is difficult to find the difference between the two with the naked eye.
This dwarf must have gone back to cut it open and found that he had been deceived and then found it back, and if it was said that the short-tempered and upright dwarf deliberately used silver ingots to deceive people, Arthur would not believe it if he was killed.
Seeing that the two men who were beating people still had no intention of stopping, Arthur wanted to step forward.
The mercenary captain next to him grabbed Arthur and shook his head lightly at him, "Don't make trouble for yourself." ”
Arthur smiled at the mercenary captain's kindness, "Thank you, I know in my heart, you mercenary groups don't have to interfere." ”
Arthur rushed over and kicked one of the men in the waist. The kick was fast and hard, kicking the unsuspecting man into the air.
"You dare to be nosy!" another man saw Arthur suddenly jump over, give up the dwarf on the ground and punch Arthur.
Arthur dodged his opponent's fist with a short body, and his own fist hit the opponent's lower abdomen. The man was not incompetent when he was on guard, and his other arm sank down, holding Arthur's fist in one fell swoop.
Arthur's fist suddenly opened, and a burst fireball shot at the man's chest at close range. The man screamed and sprang back, and Arthur flew up and kicked him in the chest, knocking him to the ground.
Arthur's shots have always been crisp and straight to the point, and in three rounds, he knocked these two men who also had the strength of a warrior to the ground, and he couldn't get up for a while.
The surrounding mercenaries were in an uproar, but they didn't expect Arthur to hide it before, and he was so young that he had the strength of no less than their captain.
The young dwarf who had fallen to the ground also struggled to his feet, looking at Arthur with puzzled eyes, wondering how this unknown human could suddenly jump out to help him.
"Which mercenary group are you from, and why are you helping the dwarves with our brothers' affairs?" The tall man did not rush up immediately when he saw Arthur's ruthless attack and eight or nine mercenary companions around.
Arthur took off the mercenary leather armor on his body and threw it to the mercenaries around him, "It has nothing to do with the mercenary group, it's because I can't get used to you bullying that dwarf, and you give him back the money you cheated." ”
The tall man looked at the mercenaries around him.
"He's not our falcon's mercenary, we're just dropping him in to Shining Town. The mercenary captain took the initiative to take a stand.
Although this may seem very unjust, as a mercenary and an employer, they are not obliged to trap the mercenary group in the personal grudge of the employer outside the entrusted task.
The man understood the mercenary group's attitude of staying out of the matter, and when his eyes turned to Arthur again, he showed a trace of murderous aura, and the black fist gloves in his hand had begun to overflow with vindictive energy, "If you don't want to die, it's too late to hurry up now!"
With a flick of Arthur's wrist, the wolf's kiss blue short knife appeared in his hand, and he smiled coldly at the man, "Terran scum like you, I'm not the first to kill." ”
"Die!" the man yelled and pounced.
