Chapter 6 The Tavern
Noah, a seventh-level assassin, riding a ferocious griffin, has been flying over the sea for several days, meticulously searching every sea area, but the griffin can't fly too far, at most after reaching one hundred and fifty or sixty kilometers, it will automatically return, this spirit beast has a full understanding of its own ability.

Noah even discovered Fire Island and Shelter Island, but unfortunately he didn't meet Brian, but the Mirror Crystal has already sent news that the King has encountered a tornado, but fortunately they did not lose their lives and are approaching the mainland. There are still two dark wizards in the magic academy of the Mist Kingdom, both of whom have been to the underworld with Helois, and Senior's arrangement of servants for the wizards has brought Brian's news out, and similarly, Joseph recently went to the underworld, and Lillian in Canyon City also learned about the situation.
Noah ate the compressed dry rations of the march, and at least his heart was steady, the sea was so big, maybe he and the king just missed it, maybe he could meet them further north, in short, in a few days, this arduous task should be over. The griffin grabbed a seal, tore its flesh to pieces with its claws, and swallowed it piece by piece, the island smelling of blood.
"Have you eaten enough, let's go, go to the land to replenish some fresh water, and continue to the north tomorrow. ”
The weather these days is very good, the sea is very calm, the wind on the summer night is cool, it whistling to the cheeks, bringing pleasure to Noah, humming the minor tune of his hometown, unconsciously crossing more than a hundred kilometers, Noah saw the continent, the people who drifted on the sea, saw the vast land raised on the horizon, there was always a feeling of home.
According to his own rules, the first thing Noah did after jumping off the griffin was to pull out the signal scroll in his arms and release an inconspicuous signal flare into the sky, which flickered briefly on the black sky, slightly brighter than the starlight, and then vanished. Noah then hid in the darkness, and it wasn't long before his student, and his subordinate, Adu Manan, appeared.
"Is there any news on just the two of you?" Noah asked.
"There's no news yet, Mr. Noah. Adu replied.
"There is good news from Aegis City, the king is not in danger, they are sitting in a wooden boat, they are approaching the coast, you pass on the situation, let everyone pay attention, it is estimated that Lord Brian will come back in the next two days, don't make any mistakes. ”
"Yes sir. The two students replied in unison.
"Since there is nothing wrong with me today, let's go with me to the dwarf's tavern for a drink or two, which can be regarded as a celebration, and the king is safe and sound. "It seems like I haven't drunk in days." ”
The dwarf tavern in the harbor never thought of returning other guests, and was built so small that humans had to keep their heads down when they entered it, and if they stood up straight, they would touch the roof. The tavern was very lively, and there were many sailors and fishermen, who were loudly exercising the drinking order, or talking about what they had seen at sea, and when they saw the humans coming in, they all fell silent, and the gnomes still hated humans in their bones.
"Get out, damn human!" suddenly an old sailor shouted, and then there was a commotion.
"Don't cause trouble. Noah sensed the anger on the faces of the two subordinates, reminded him and glanced at everyone with his cold eyes, and actually suppressed the audience with his momentum, the roaring gnomes shivered, and the arrogant atmosphere in the tavern weakened a lot. "Why, humans are not welcome, but I remember that your king, Lord Kturu, decreed not long ago that anyone who insults and despises mankind shall be confiscated and subjected to hard labor, is that true?"
The dwarf kingdom is an extremely autocratic state, and the king's words are laws, and anyone who deliberately violates them will be punished very severely. At this moment, the gnomes were all stupid, they obviously felt that the humans in front of them were very difficult to mess with, but they were not convinced, and the tavern became dull and depressing.
"Humans, are our friends, friends come for a drink, of course we welcome. "The owner of the dwarf tavern hurried to play the round, for fear that the people on both sides would fight and cause damage to his small shop.
"Hmph!" a few sailors made heavy noises in their noses, and sat down to continue drinking.
Pine nut wine, fried prawns, salty and spicy dried fish, mustard sashimi, smoked seal meat. After ordering the food and drinks, Noah deliberately emphasized: "We are from the Misty Kingdom. ”
Noah just wanted to take two students here, come here to relax, and then continue the search tomorrow, he didn't want to go out of his way, and finding Master Brian was much more important than teaching a few dwarfs. What Noah means is that we are not Jamelo or Seneh's people, we didn't take the gnomes as slaves, and we don't need to hate each other too much.
"Welcome. The boss's eyes changed, and he said loudly, "Our human guest, from the Misty Kingdom, this is a respectable country, and their king, it only took a little more than a day to get out of the mangrove maze. ”
The boss doesn't want to be angry either.
People say that a dwarf's heart eye is smaller than the eye of a needle, and this sentence is really good. A few sailors who were not accustomed to human beings felt that martial arts might not be good, so they thought of other methods, in short, they wanted to compare humans to them, and not let them sit on their chairs and drink in peace.
Noah raised his fork to taste the sashimi, when he saw a muscular, strong dwarf approach, and couldn't help but frown. The dwarf held a bottle of pine nut wine in his hand, sat in the vacant seat opposite Noah, his upper lip, with two beautiful curly beards, the sailor subconsciously touched his beard, and said loudly: "Human, do you dare to drink me than to drink?" I have already drunk two bottles, but it doesn't matter, I will let you a little, from now on, we continue to drink, if I pour, everyone will pay for the wine, if you pour ......"
"I don't want to compare. Noah interrupted the dwarf, who had a good amount of alcohol, but he did not dare to get drunk, and would continue to look for it on the surface of the sea to-morrow, instead of sleeping on the beach.
"I don't want to, hahahaha, I don't dare. The curly-bearded gnome burst out laughing, and several gnomes booed.
Noah was upset, but he just wanted to come and drink some wine and relax, but he was in a bad mood by a few dwarves, and he looked professionally at the dwarf's neck, at his carotid artery, as long as he pulled out the dagger and stabbed it, this thing would not be triumphant here.
Noah still forcibly suppressed the urge to kill, and he was about to admit defeat, when suddenly the door of the tavern was slammed open, and a young human in ragged clothes and covered in blood broke in, rushed to the counter and said, "Boss, come have something to eat, I'm hungry." ”
"You...... Do you have any money?"
"No, I'm vindictive. "Blue flames emanated from the top of the human's head, half a meter high. (To be continued.) )
