Chapter 39: What I Saw and Heard in the Tavern

As the night passed, Kevin spent the night in a humble cabin. The local mercenaries www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion have repeatedly told them not to go out at night, it will be more dangerous. The three Assassins seemed to be very busy and didn't know where to go. Just let Kevin move around and don't go far, he can be found at any time.

Since they didn't let Kevin and the two participate in the investigation, Kevin was happy to be idle. When I woke up one night, I went out with Jack. He didn't summon the parrot, because according to the parrot, the people here are very unqualified, and they all like to hit it with stones, and the parrot has encountered it six or seven times. Thankfully, it's still alive.

The weather was quite suitable early in the morning, and a bunch of mercenaries also took advantage of the cool to go out of the city to run errands, and there were also market stalls selling some special fruits unique to this area. Commoners generally wore simple scores, and men wore almost all worn worn vests, and the trousers were cut short, some wore straw sandals, and some walked barefoot. There are very few women, and they basically don't leave the house, and even when they go out, they must go together.

The houses are basically wooden structures, the roads are dirt roads, there is a lot of horse and cow dung on them, and there seems to be no cleaners to sweep the floor. But soon, some peasants will come and pick up all the horse and cow dung, and ask them what is the use of collecting the dung? They don't know, they only know that this thing is collected, and it can be sold for a few dollars, and it seems that the people from the opposite building are from the country of Baole.

But the peasants only pick up manure and don't care about anything else. The road surface is uneven, the road is watery, the road surface grows weeds, etc., no one cares, and they pursue the principle that the more people walk, it will naturally become the philosophy of the road. The road is never repaired, and when it rains, it doesn't matter if it even turns into a river, and many people don't wear shoes anyway.

At the same time, thieves are also very rampant here, and they don't care about other people's eyes at all. It's rude, and no one cares. Maybe they planned to steal it at first, but they were usually discovered in the end, so they directly robbed it. Three or five people acted in unison, and when they saw the target, they surrounded and stole it, even if the guards were standing on the side, they completely ignored it. The guards themselves would have taken two steps away.

At this time, the stolen person has only two choices, either pay the money obediently, or draw his sword and resist himself. Life and death are fateful, of course, the thief is not deadly, once he feels that the other party is desperate, he will also withdraw by himself. It didn't matter if there were dead or wounded, the guards came over after a while and threw the bodies into mass graves. I don't wipe off the blood on the road, just put it here.

Therefore, Leibozier has never heard of any weapons ban in the country, any civilian can bring any level of weapons, and the slogan here is, protect yourself, you deserve to die, and you can take revenge by yourself. The guards in the country were in the service of the king, not the common people.

Having said that, if civilians really pick up an artifact by the river, they will inevitably be coveted by others, and then find a random reason to kill it and take the artifact for themselves. The people here have already taken the logic of robbers into their bones, and thieves will not feel any guilt at all when they steal things or even kill people. Their logic is that I'm strong, so that's mine, do you want to rebel? Why do you want to rebel? Why do you want such a piece of rubbish?

Based on this bandit logic, the average life expectancy of Labzier in China is less than 30 years old. There are hardly any old people on the streets, all young people with strong blood.

The illiteracy rate in the country is 90%, and only one of the ten people you find on the street can write their own name. The mercenary needs someone else to read the content of the task to him, otherwise he doesn't know what to do. That's why the mercenary alliance here also has a novel profession, called the task reader, and there are also official announcements, worried that civilians can't understand it, so there is a special announcement reader on the side.

Kevin lived here a few years ago and occasionally asked some civilians, "Why don't you go to literacy?"

The civilian asked rhetorically, "Why are you literate?"

Kevin said: "At least the announcement can be understood by itself. ”

"Someone reads aloud, what am I going to read?"

Kevin was speechless.

At this time, Kevin and Jack were wandering the streets, their clothes were obviously much higher than that of civilians, and they were foreigners, and ordinary thieves did not dare to provoke them. Kevin also casually told him what he had seen and heard when he came here before, and Jack also expressed his surprise that few people who came from China could understand the bandit mentality here.

"Why haven't they died if they've been in such a mess?" Jack was surprised.

"Every one who attacks someone else is taking a certain risk. After a long time, everyone will choose to be cautious, or look for mercenaries for refuge. Kevin replied, "Don't underestimate every civilian house here, everyone has all kinds of traps and the like dug in their homes for safety, and some of them even lead to a long way. ”

"It's still hard to understand," Jack shook his head, "there are so many mercenaries here. How can there be so many tasks for them to consume?"

"A lot of mercenaries are working for foreign countries," Kevin replied, "and I don't know exactly which country I am." ”

The two walked all the way, and nothing happened to them, the sun gradually rose, and the weather became hotter and hotter. The people in the bazaar began to disperse, and the streets began to empty. Kevin and Jack also started to sweat, so they found a more imposing tavern to go into.

The tavern was full of people, and the bartender handed two glasses of cold ale and led them to a ventilated window. From time to time, a small breeze blows here, and it is quite cool.

Both of them were very satisfied, and gave the bartender a tip of 2 silver coins, and the bartender was naturally elated, and said that there were beautiful women to enjoy here, and there was a private room upstairs. The two hurriedly refuse, and Kevin emphasizes that he is a gentleman. The bartender seemed incomprehensible, but gave up anyway.

The two of them felt the cool breeze and drank the cold ale, and their mood gradually relaxed. Many people around looked at it, and most of them said that they were novel, after all, they were dressed differently.

In a moment, the tavern door was pushed open, and a man dressed as a bard entered, and when he looked around here, he couldn't help but change his face when he saw Kevin's dress.

Kevin ignored it and turned his head to look out the window, looking very comfortable.

Applause had erupted in the tavern, and it was clear that the bard was there. There are a lot of stupid people here, so it's easy to fool, and it's not unreasonable to choose this side, but when any bard is speaking, he doesn't want other bards in the audience.

However, at this time, the other party was obviously already riding a tiger, and in the face of the applause of the house, he couldn't turn around and leave, so he could only laugh dryly.

"What do you want to hear?" asked the bard.

There was a lot of discussion, and in a moment someone spoke: "Tell us about the international situation." Mercenaries here often have to come into contact with foreigners, so let's talk about it first. ”

"Yes," the bard glanced at Kevin, who was still looking out the window, secretly cautious, "The international situation has not changed much recently. But there are some interesting anecdotes that you can understand, do you know about the head of a mercenary group in Lou Baole Country, who was exposed to chrysanthemums?"

In an instant, there was a lot of discussion in the museum, and everyone was attracted by this title and was very interested.

The bard laughed: "This incident happened just a few days ago, when a recruit from a regiment on the opposite side was attacked on a mission. At that time, the other party was masked during the attack, but Lou Baole Guo thought that this was the work of the mercenary group. ”

"Lou Baole is very concerned about this kind of thing, because they are dictatorial. The death of a soldier is also serious, much more serious than on our side. The bard explained, "Since you suspect the mercenary group, of course call the leader of the mercenary group to investigate." But where would the regiment commander admit it? Of course, he shook his head and said he didn't know. ”

"So what to do? Then we can only use torture. So they found a faggot, took off the mercenary captain's pants, and pestled them in, and asked, 'Do you want to say it?', but the head of the regiment still shook his head, so he pulled it out, and then pestled it in, and asked again, 'Do you say it or not?'...... Alas, this scene is simply unimaginable. The bard shook his head and sighed.

There was silence and some disbelief.

Kevin's whole body stiffened, and he looked at the ale in the cup and was stunned: "......"

Jack also looked at Kevin like a fool, after all, he also knew more or less that Kevin had the thing about ripping off other people's pants.

"What happened?" asked someone in the tavern.

"What else?" replied the bard, "I haven't found it yet, and the head of the regiment has finished blowing chrysanthemums, and the members of the group below have also been blown chrysanthemums." It is said that in the end, the could not afford to be injured, so he was given another punishment. At present, the search is still ongoing, and it is estimated that no one can be found. Alas!"

Kevin finally came to his senses, picked up the cup and took a sip.

Many people in the tavern shook their heads: "How will this regiment leader behave in the future? Who will listen to him?"

"It's okay, their whole group has been blown up. The bard replied, "That's the case with the country of Lou Pauler, which has no human rights at all." Completely authoritarian, unlike our country. We people can carry swords with us, and we can buy any magic weapon as long as we spend money. ”

"There are nobles over there, and they have to be equipped with equipment of the corresponding rating according to their titles," replied the bard, "and the mercenary group over there is already full of 300 men. There can't be more state regulations, how can they be like us? We can have as many people as we want. ”

The bard began to spit and fly: "If our mercenary group is against their mercenary group, we can kill their strongest mercenary group with just one ordinary mercenary group." The combat effectiveness of the regimental members, that is not a grade. We are in a combat situation all year round, and we have fun with the regular army all year round, but what about them?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, their mercenary group is also responsible for pulling stones, catching chickens, and even digging dung, which is all the work of slaves. Mercenary mercenary, after all, is also a soldier, and when he arrives in Lou Baole country, he is completely a hard laborer, even a slave, thinking that the sword is a soldier? It's no wonder that their regiment leaders were all blown up. ”

The tavern nodded their heads, most of them were mercenaries here, and they were all in a happy mood when they heard the praise at this time. However, there are also sober people who immediately asked: "I really want to see a few mercenaries from Lou Baole Country, who seem to have good combat effectiveness." ”

"Alas!" the bard shook his head, as if the man's stupidity had left him speechless, "have you seen it? That's normal, Lou Paulle is a big country after all. It's normal to have one or two great ones, but do you know the proportions of them? When you see one powerful one, you think they're all awesome?"

"That's it," echoed the crowd, "what do you know? How many places have you been? You stupid pig! You sit down for me." ”

The man also sat down a little abruptly, and quietly listened to the bard's propaganda: "Think about it carefully, why won't our regimental commander be dragged to burst chrysanthemums? Will our regular army dare? What does this mean? You have to use your brains!"

"Lou Pauler's country is very big, but in fact, the interior is empty. The king also announced that the requirements for commoners to become nobles were lowered, which caused the nobles to flee all over the land. In this situation, the commoners are uncomfortable, the nobles are also uncomfortable, don't look at the business a lot, but the economy will collapse sooner or later. "The bard's mouth is like a river.

"Don't look at the wall on the other side that is very well built, in fact, they didn't build it. It happened to be a mountain, and then it was processed on it, and more than 200 people died during the construction. Where do you think the 20-meter-high city wall came from, moving bricks up one by one? They just leveled the mountain and dug a hole underneath it to serve as the gate of the city. ”

"Lou Paula is essentially an evil country, and all the necromancers in the history of the human race are all Lou Pauler people. Two world wars, both against necromancers. At that time, there were rivers of blood and corpses everywhere, and we must always remember these things, and our freedom today is hard-won. "The bard has a deep eye.

"Remember, don't associate with Lou Baole. The bard concluded, "They are arrogant, arrogant, cautious, intellectually retarded, and ugly, and small." ”

The tavern nodded a lot, and it was recognized a lot. Kevin just still blew a little wind and drank a little wine.

"What does this bard think of my remarks?" the bard, seeing that Kevin did not speak, took the initiative to probe it.

Kevin smiled: "It's good if you're happy." ”

"It seems that the bard agrees with me," the bard finally relented, and began to talk about his many affairs in Lou Paule, and spared no effort to discredit Lou Paule.

Jack could barely hear at first, but gradually frowned. I couldn't help but ask Kevin, "Don't you refute him?"

Kevin shook his head: "A few years ago, I still had thoughts, but now, alas, it's a hot day, and I'm too lazy to move." "Even eloquent people are not interested in arguing with people in all situations. In recent years, the environment has bribed many bards, let them go around reversing right and wrong, and spread rumors, and Kevin once debated wildly with people. For this debate, it is almost possible to recite it backwards.

Not long after, when I returned to a foreign country again, I encountered this kind of debate again. Kevin even thought it was almost worth arguing, and it was so hot that he just wanted to say, "It's good if you're happy." ”

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and everyone looked back to see that it was the little spoon that had entered. At this time, she had changed into a beautiful green dress, the skirt was above the knees, revealing her white and tender legs, a group of mercenaries had never seen such a beauty, and the women of her country were also dressed very conservatively, and many people stood up. The whole tavern was full of howls.

The bard also smiled and went up to talk: "Beauty, alone?"

"Get out. The little spoon passed by him with a blank face.

The bard was embarrassed: "Don't get me wrong, we bards are decent people and gentlemen." ”

Little Spoon looked back expressionlessly: "I am a native of Lou Baole, I am arrogant, arrogant, cautious, mentally retarded, and ugly." ”

Bard: "......"

Little Spoon beckoned to Kevin and the others: "Let's go, I have something to look for you." ”

Kevin and the others follow them out, leaving behind a tavern saliva and an awkward bard.
