Chapter Thirty-Eight: Every Tavern Keeper is a Man with a Story
"Ginny & Janlon" is a small famous tavern located in the west of the city, and it is the only tavern that sells soft white bread and desserts, and only the upper class can eat delicious food at a price that a common family can afford, which has attracted many people, even the city lords of the past have been regular customers here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the most interesting thing about this tavern is that it will be closed for about a month from time to time throughout the year, which is very capricious. So many people speculated whether the boss had some secret purchase channel and used this time to purchase goods.
Jalen the Elder was a barbarian, but unlike his kind, he was a dwarf. The dwarven race is very rare among the barbarian races, they are not even as tall as humans, they love money and forge like other people, the only difference is that they love to travel. There are many anecdotes about them on the continent, and humans even once singled them out as a new race: the Dwarves. Of course, this caused a lot of resentment and protests, but humans think that from their point of view, it is difficult to find much in common between the two, except for some preferences and habits, especially their size!
Of course, they were not separated from each other, but the term "dwarf" was retained. When the old dwarf Zhan Lun was young, he also traveled to many places on the continent, experienced strong winds and waves, and was a truly knowledgeable person. But it was such an old man, but at the moment he was frowning and restless.
"I don't know what kind of medicine that boy Boloon took wrong, and he still wants to organize a caravan at this time?!" With the increasing tension between Harbank and Liao, the looting activities on the border have become more and more rampant, and several smuggling teams have disappeared halfway, which in the eyes of Lao Zhanlun, it is nothing more than that those nobles on the Liao border are no longer planning to trade seriously, after all, war may break out at any time, so their food appearance is becoming more and more ugly. At this time, I am still in a hurry to send money, I really don't know what to think. Do you really think that those rude barbarians will be afraid of the Black Swamp?
The Black Swamp Forest arranged for Lao Zhan Lun to lead the team this time, and he actually wanted to refuse. Old Zhan Lun himself is not short of money, he has a large amount of money accumulated in the past, not to mention, since his granddaughter returned from the Duxue Union, became an alchemist and did not know where to learn to make delicious bread, After the dessert technique, he changed his poorly run tavern to its current name, and sold the snacks made by Little Ginny, and from time to time Little Ginny also made some strange things such as the key and the like to sell, in fact, old Janellen once asked Little Ginny how much she earned and how much she spent on experiments, and he could be smug without exaggeration: he didn't care how much the caravan could earn!
But because he owed too much favor to Polon, the steward of the Black Swamp Forest here, he could only agree to it.
Old Jerlen got all the formalities in his car and went to inspect the goods, but everything he saw made him angry! He came to the "weed" angrily, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that Polon was looking at him with a smile, but old Jerman did not pay attention to his attitude that could scare his subordinates into weakness, and in his opinion, this was a cover up in a weird way, which made him even more angry.
"Polon, you sinister fellow, you've finally bared your fangs to old Jalen!
The middle-aged man named Polon sat opposite the old Jalen, but the sinister impression described by the old Jalen was completely different, with square cheeks with axes and knives, a tall figure, a tight top that showed his extremely explosive muscles, a very coordinated body, and a great sense of pressure when he stood up! Mr. Zhan Lun, you are my respected elder, I have never thought of hurting you, if you have any questions, you can ask me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. ”
"Satisfactory answer? Hmph, then please explain why there is no grain and ore in this shipment, but some furs and other things? These are the last things that the Liao people lack? You have been a deacon here for a long time, right? How could you make such a mistake? You obviously want the old dwarf to leave the corpse in the wilderness!"
"Old Zhanlun, calm down first, even if I really want you to die, I won't be stupid enough to use this method that even you can easily detect, this time is really a bit special. It looks like he is a tall and mighty image, but he has a cold and poisonous tongue, but Lao Zhanlun's face has not changed, and he seems to have been used to it.
"Special, treasure, or human?"
"People. There are three of them, and I don't want to reveal their identities, but I just need to send them safely to Nasu. ”
"Hehe, you really look down on the old dwarf, it's so simple. In my experience, escort work is a big problem, and there is no one to do!"
"Don't worry, those customers are all powerful people, you can only be regarded as a leader, and even a useless bad old man can successfully complete this task!" Polon said with a smile on his face.
"Who do you say is a useless bad old man?!Watch out for me to duel you! You stinky boy!" Old Zhan Lun said indignantly, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.
To the southeast of the city was a ruined and desolate place, where the people were very complex, the paupers lived in ruined houses that were probably still in shape, watching everything outside with cold and desperate eyes, beggars and homeless people lying under the dangerous walls, lazy and lazy, indifferent to everything around them, and only food could attract their attention. Destroyed by the war with the Liao State, it has now become a slum and shelters many criminals, revealing the darkness behind the prosperity of Baiyin City like a scar, and the eyes of the enemy country are also lurking here to spy on the city.
Just today, this dilapidated place welcomes three guests, who will be here to start a new journey of fame on the continent!
"I didn't expect you, big brother, to be quite literate!"
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just a feeling!" Standing by the stinky ditch with his hands behind his back, Rogxin stared at a dead tree and said indifferently.
"But it's so stinky here, brother, let's go quickly, okay?" Xiao Ai pinched her nose and urged in a sullen voice.
"Okay, let's go now, let's go now. Rogxin smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect to pretend to be a failure in front of Xiao Ai, who had always pursued him, which was really a mistake.
It was Rogsin's tenth day in White City. Yesterday Gilly received a message from the Black Swamp Forest that the caravan was ready to leave today and let them join in this slum, although it was a little strange, but it was not a legal way in the first place, so I didn't pay much attention to it. It was the first time for Xiao Ai to see such a bleak scene. Rogxin has not seen the dark side of this kind of city with his own eyes, but fortunately, thanks to the Internet, he still has some knowledge, so he didn't make a fuss, but it was inevitable to sigh. Before, Xiao Ai wanted to give some money and food to a mother with a little girl out of pity, but she was also stopped by Rogxin and Geely. Geely was because of his experience, and Rogxin noticed the greedy eyes of the people around him when Xiao Ai took out his things, and he had to take action to deter them.
"I really don't know what these people think, we are guests anyway, how can we let us come by ourselves? Fortunately, we are a strong party, otherwise what if it is some weak noble lady?" Rogxin plucked Xiao Ai's wolf ear and complained.
"Brother Rogge, if you are a nobleman, it is even more impossible to have a weak young lady!"
"Huh? Is that so? It's a strange premise. ”
"Why is it strange?Nobles generally have good living and learning conditions, can get more resources, and it is easier to improve their strength, and under normal circumstances, they wake up relatively early, right?"
"Well, what you said makes sense, I'm convinced. ”
Every move of the three of them was watched by the old dwarf Zhan Lun. When he saw the method used by Rogxin to disperse the homeless, he couldn't help but have a cold hair standing on his back. Rogxin knocked several homeless people unconscious with a few snaps of his fingers, and ordinary people might think that he used some kind of spell, but old Zhan Lun was not a fledgling hairy boy, and the well-informed old man could see that the young man was only using the wind! Yes, some people might think that this was a joke, but the old dwarf who had seen the battle between high-level professionals could say with certainty: This is the truth! The old dwarf looked at his hand and thought that he couldn't stun people even with his fists, right? And it was so far away! At most, it blows up the hair sticking to the homeless man's head.
Thinking of this, the old dwarf didn't say a word, and immediately appeared in front of the three of Rogsing.
The three of them saw a dwarf suddenly appear in front of them, and behaved strangely calmly. Not to mention Rogsing, Geely and Xiao Ai also noticed his existence at a very early stage, so naturally they would not have any surprised reactions. Seeing this, the old dwarf smiled bitterly in his heart: "I really didn't expect these three young people to be so powerful, and I thought it was a shame to be able to use the stealth technology that I was proud of to secretly test them!" But it also made him feel more at ease, and the safety of this trip was basically guaranteed. As for what such a powerful young man was going to do in Liaoguo, he didn't care about it, and he didn't dare to know.
"I'm sorry, three gentlemen, but I'm the leader of this caravan, and my name is Zhan Lun. Because the border situation is very tense now, we have to be more careful, and I am really sorry to let you be in danger repeatedly, which is my dereliction of duty. Zhan Lun bent down deeply, trying to make himself appear as humble as possible.
"Zhan Lun? By the way, what is your relationship with the 'Ginny and Janlun' tavern?" Xiao Ai came to her senses as soon as she heard the old man's name, and Rogxin said in her heart: Sure enough, it is inseparable from food!
"Ah! It's a small shop under it, thank you for your patronage. The old dwarf was stunned, and for some reason told the wolf girl about this matter that he had never revealed to outsiders.
When Xiao Ai heard this, her eyes flashed!
