Chapter Eighty-Six: Spending Money to Buy Intelligence
After a night of consultations, Lee had planned to summon Erich's representatives at dawn and inform them that he and Brunhilde were going to get up and go to Droplet Rick City. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Before he could speak, Priest Vitebo, who had a careful mind that was not commensurate with his appearance, took the first step to ask Li Chenglong to stay for a few more days.
The reason is that most of the Viking leaders are no longer in Erich City at this time, and after the news is released, these people will definitely return here one after another to meet the two kings. If the location of the audience were to be changed to Droplet Rick City now, I am afraid that it would cause some unnecessary trouble.
Li Chenglong, who was greedy for the Vikings' combat power, had to change his original plan, announcing on the spot that he would wait until the main Viking force in the south returned, and wait until he accepted the allegiance of the complete realm before leaving.
After reluctantly sending off Erich's delegates, Lee Seung-ryong came to Erich's tavern again.
As the bell rang, the boss, who was sleeping at the bar, saw Li Chenglong who walked in alone.
Thinking of the scene when he reported him to Siegfried two days ago, the tavern owner couldn't help but complain about Siegfried in his heart.
Although Li Chenglong also cares a little about what the tavern owner has done, once people are in a good mood for happy events, he also needs a tavern that works perfectly to provide information for himself.
Li Chenglong walked to the bar, looked at the face that was not unfamiliar, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to trouble you." “
"What would you like to drink, guest?"
"I don't drink, I'm just here to ask if you can deliver something small, like a letter or something. “
The tavernkeeper said businessman, "If there is a bartender on the other side who is holding his post like me, your orders can be spread throughout that city in three hours." “
Li Chenglong shrugged his shoulders, took out the letter he had already written, and said, "I believe that my Bill is much friendlier than you. “
The bartender who took the letter didn't even look at it, put it directly into the drawer under the bar, turned around and poured a glass of beer for Li Chenglong, looked at him and said, "It's my honor to be different from the fool who alarmed the tavern association, my lord." “
The embarrassed Li Chenglong picked up the wine glass, took a sip, adjusted his somewhat embarrassed expression and said, "I want to see some information now, some of the latest information about this island." “
A smile appeared on the bartender's face, and he stretched out his right hand and said, "I will receive 1,500 gold coins, and I will not take any credit." “
Li Chenglong, who was drinking the best beer, was still thinking that the bartender was still good to him. When I heard this, I didn't pay attention for a while, and directly sprayed half of the beer in my mouth on the bartender's face.
The bartender, like a nobody, took out a white napkin from under the bar and wiped his face.
"I'm sorry, but I used to read intelligence for nothing, so why do you need to pay for it?"
"That's why I said he was an idiot. Do you think that if we don't charge intelligence fees, what do we have to rely on to sustain our tavern, and we don't necessarily have one guest a year?"
Li Chenglong, who went out without money, said embarrassedly: "Then you keep the accounts first, and then go to the City Lord's Mansion to get the money yourself." “
"I'm sorry, but the lord of this city is Brunhilde, and only she can take credit in this tavern. “
"I am his husband, your King. “
"I don't admit that even this amount of money has to wait for his wife to pay the king. “
Li Chenglong took a hard breath, spit it out slowly, and said viciously: "You wait for me, I will teach you a lesson sooner or later." “
After saying that, he used alchemy to turn the wooden cup in his hand into a pile of gold coins, and then pushed the gold coins towards the bartender.
The bartender picked up a gold coin without surprise, and as soon as he brought the gold coin in front of him, the bartender stopped biting the gold coin and said with a look of disgust: "Sure enough, it is a cursed gold coin with the breath of an unjust soul, and if you don't drive me away this time, I will take the initiative to apply for a transfer out of here." “
"It's the same gold coin, why is mine cursed?"
The bartender silently put away the gold coins, looked at Li Chenglong with disdain, and said, "You alchemy products at the cost of human souls have long been criticized by those people in the association. Forget it, you don't have to do alchemy anymore, today I will allow you to take credit. “
Li Chenglong himself remembered the scene when he came into contact with the Sage's Stone, and couldn't help but echo in a low voice: "It's really scary, just give it on credit...... Didn't you just say you couldn't take credit?"
The bartender crouched down and poked his upper body into the shadow under the bar as he replied, "What is the principle of choosing between the principle and not taking those damn gold coins anymore?"
Li Chenglong, who had no wine glass in his hand, could only rub his nose with his index finger again this time to relieve his embarrassment.
Three hours later, when Li Chenglong was in the dimly lit hall of the tavern, drinking red wine and looking through intelligence materials, the order he issued to prepare for war had reached Droplet Rick City.
Dilumudo, who was training recruits in the barracks, suddenly stopped his demonstration, and he suddenly felt that he had become the lord of Droplik again.
Mrs. Aisha, who was drinking afternoon tea in Blarney City, looked up at Hannah opposite, and looked at Hannah who had become a little different.
Hannah, who noticed Lady Aisha's gaze, also explained in confusion: "I became the lord of Brown City, but I am only the daughter of a craftsman, how can I become a lord-type hero?"
Mrs. Aisha smiled and said, "Maybe there really will be a society in this world, without class restrictions, and only by talent." “
At the same time, Howard, who was still lying weakly by the fireplace, suddenly opened his squinted eyes, and there seemed to be something green in his eyes that should have been empty for a moment.
The experienced old mage unleashed several different healing spells in a row, and under the lingering green light, like a normal young man, he walked to the wine cabinet easily and accurately, took out a small bottle from it, and poured the green liquid into his mouth.
The old mage's bark-like face slowly smoothed out after the green liquid entered his mouth, and it was not until the face looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties that this change disappeared along with the green light around Howard.
Howard the "Eyeless" let out a comfortable moan as if he had woken up from some kind of extremely comfortable pleasure.
The moaning sound seemed to break through the barrier of the wall, and even the two ladies sitting in the garden couldn't help but blush at the same time, and Hannah muttered even more embarrassedly: "Old man is not ashamed." “
When Howard, who was much younger, changed his clothes, he said to himself: "Sure enough, the price is the price, even if it is forced, it cannot be snatched back from the long river of fate." “
In the banquet hall of Erich City, Brunhilde, who was presiding over the banquet for Lee Seung-ryong, met with the bartender. The bartender not only brought the news of the fall of La Certel that Lee Seung-ryong asked him to relay, but also brought a long bill including money for wine glasses.
The wealthy Tovar took the debt and promised to pay it in full in gold tonight.
The militants, led by the sacrificial guards and the priests of Thor, raised the atmosphere of the banquet to an unprecedented level.
