The tavern is probably one of the most frequent places in the city.

In any region of the continent, as long as something big happens, it won't be long before it is passed to the tavern and then to the rest of the world through the tavern.

In every major event in the past, almost all the members of the tavern were at the scene of eating melons at the first time.

It's the same this time.

It happened a few hours ago, and the first time the news came out was at 3:05 a.m.

It's just five o'clock in the morning, and it's only about two hours, which is still fresh news, and there is always new news coming back, so you can analyze it slowly while it's hot.

Su Xia sat in the corner and listened for a while.

After a while, he called the bartender, Ah Feng, and said to him, "Two bowls of wine and a plate of fennel beans."

Ah Feng replied, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll be here in a while."

Not long after, Ah Feng brought two bowls of warm low-alcohol dessert wine, and then got a plate of fennel beans, sat opposite Su Xia, and placed one of the bowls of wine in front of Su Xia.

He left a bowl, took a sip of it to himself, and said with emotion: "It's still brother, you are righteous, you came to invite me to drink before dawn, I shouted and shouted all day today, my voice was almost hoarse, and I needed to drink something to relieve it."

Su Xia Muran: "These two bowls of wine are for me to drink."

Feng: "......"

He silently pushed the bowl of warm liqueur back in front of Su Xia, and then hammered his throat, as if he wanted to spit out what he had just drunk.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

He stared, leaned over, and vomited.

Su Xia frowned, pushed the bowl of sweet wine back, and said to him, "Forget it, you can drink this bowl yourself."

Ah Feng suddenly smiled: "Hehe, I knew that brother, you would say that."

「……」

Su Xia didn't bother to take care of him, picked up a fennel bean with a fast child, threw it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, and continued to listen to the discussion of the people around him.

Any message will inevitably be damaged in the process of dissemination, some of which are unilaterally missing, and some of which will be artificially processed.

Therefore, listening to these people's discussions just allowed Su Xia to have a simple judgment on this matter.

In front of the bar, there was a drunk, loud bearded man who said to the people around him, "I have a friend over there who saw the battle happening with his own eyes...... The southerly wind attacked in three directions, encircling three and one, attacking simultaneously from the east, west, and south, leaving only the northern direction for those mercenaries to escape......

"However, on the escape route in the north, they also have a large number of people in ambush, as well as countless traps......

This bearded man speaks vividly, the plot is full of ups and downs, and it gives people a strong sense of picture, as if he really has a friend there.

[In view of the general environment, at the same time, in the corner of the other direction, there are also people who are recounting the situation at that time.

But the picture told by the two is different.

The man took a sip of cold wine, his eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth smiled, he shook his head, and said unhurriedly: "Just after midnight, there were explosions in various gold caves in that mercenary town at the same time, such as major casinos, bars, bathing centers, etc., and more than half of the mercenaries were killed at that time......

From this man's mouth, the crowd got another version.

In this version, the attack of the South Wind organization first started from the inside, presumably by arranging an undercover agent to go inside.

The follow-up process is similar to what the bearded man said, but the direction of opening up is the south, and a large number of people and traps are ambushed on the road to the south.

In the tavern, there were other people speaking other versions.

Some people say that there is no Southwind organization at all, and everything is just a civil strife in that mercenary town.

"You have all been deceived, my information is the most accurate, the situation at that time was that the leaders of the two mercenary organizations, because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, fought in the bar, and then it turned into a fire merger between the two organizations, and then spread to the whole town......

Itinerant mercenaries are known to abuse various psychotropic substances

, especially in the mercenary town, many people are in a trance.

Once a conflict breaks out and both sides become irrational under the influence of drugs, it can easily turn into bloodshed.

It's not like this hasn't happened before.

Some people also say that the truth is very simple, it is just a purge within the mercenary organization.

The person who made the cleansing was none other than Wang Teng, the king of mercenaries.

It is rumored that there have always been people within the mercenary organization who have been dissatisfied with Wang Teng and have openly disagreed with Wang Teng, and this time the destruction of the mercenary town was led by Wang Teng.

Those contrarian mercenaries were all killed in the town, and sank into the river of history with the whole town.

"You're all wrong, this incident is led by the masked monster!"

"! The masked monster didn't show up at all!"

"If he had the courage to show up, he would have beaten that Wang Teng a long time ago, and would he have waited until now?"

"But I heard the grapevine...... This South Wind organization seems to have something to do with the masked monsters......

「……」

There are many people, and all kinds of news are flying all over the sky.

As time passed, more and more people came to the tavern, and it gradually became lively.

After Su Xia heard most of the news, he looked at the time, and it was close to six o'clock in the morning.

The fennel beans on his plate were almost finished, and the wine was gone, so it was time to get down to business.

"Is there anything for sale in the tavern with the news of the fall of the mercenary town?" Su Xia asked Ah Feng.

"Brother, the news you just heard is basically all of it." Ah Feng spread his hands, the tavern is currently only responsible for gathering news, not for judging the truth or falsehood.

The time is too short to tell whether most of the news is true or false.

Now, the various organizations have sent people to investigate the ruined mercenary town.

When those people return, the true circumstances of this incident should be made public.

"It's just that I do have a piece of news here that I just got, and it's very close to the truth." Ah Feng said mysteriously.

"How true is it?" Susha asked.

"It's true!"

"Tell me about it."

"Okay, this message is free, brother, listen to it......

Ah Feng took a sip of sweet wine, moistened his throat, and began to talk about the latest news he got here.

If all is correct, there is indeed an organization called "South Wind". ….

Moreover, this organization has deep roots with the Mask Monsters.

"All the members of the Southwind organization were originally refugees and poor people who were captured by those mercenaries, forced to sign a contract of sale, and became slaves, and were not allowed to be free until the masked monsters attacked......

Ah Feng grabbed a few fennel beans, threw them into the nearest place, and said as he ate.

"Brother, you should also know that the masked monster once destroyed a mercenary town, and it was precisely because of that incident that Wang Teng targeted him......

"After that, the slaves of that mercenary town were free, and an organization called 'South Wind, it seems that they want to correspond to the legendary 'North Wind, organization.'"

Ah Feng slowly told that these materials were very real, after all, Su Xia had experienced them personally.

After that, Su Xia didn't care about the South Wind Organization.

He's just one person after all, and he doesn't have that much energy to manage too many things.

The nascent Nanfeng organization received most of the money, food, weapons and other materials from that mercenary town, and it was close to two thousand people when it was first established, a huge number, and entered the southwest mountainous area at Su Xia's suggestion.

They have always regarded themselves as believers in masked monsters, amassing strength and silently growing until today......

"The exact time is 0:15 a.m." Ah Feng said with certainty, "This news was said by a mercenary who escaped, and the first attack was not an explosion as the rest said, but ***."

「***？」

"That's right, the people of the South Wind Organization, the bartending, tea, and drinks in various places in that mercenary town

and timed."

At the time, there was a party going on in that mercenary town, and there was a party going on in various places.

The theme of the gathering was simple, it was to show the support of the most "mercenary king".

At mid-fifteen, the first mercenaries who had drunk their drinks realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

"That's when the Southwind launched a surprise attack, first tackling the easiest targets, beheading the core members of each organization, then cutting off the power to the town, and creating panic with gunfire and explosions......

When fear comes, the spirit of rebellion is infinitely weakened.

"In the darkness, someone shouted that the masked monster was coming."

"How loud that old man's name is! So the mercenaries panicked even more......

What happened after that was pretty much what the rest of the tavern said.

Many mercenaries died inside the town, and there was fire blocking it from three directions outside the town, and the mercenaries could only flee to the southern passage deliberately left by the Nanfeng organization in a panic.

In the southern passage, they experienced a series of life-and-death crises, and struggled to escape from various explosions, gunsmoke, and gunfire.

Probably less than 1 in 10 people end up escaping from the town.

And the Southwind organization has mostly suffered no casualties.

It was a completely crushing war.

Due to the thorough preparation in advance, most of the slaves in the town were successfully freed, and the supplies of the entire town were also pocketed by the Southwind organization.

"After this battle, that South Wind organization will definitely grow a lot stronger." Ah Feng breathed a long sigh of relief and finished all the information.

He gulped down a few large sips of liqueur, then added, "At 3:05 a.m., a mercenary rode to our tavern's contact point in the wilderness to seek refuge, and the first word came from him." ….

"What about the other news?" Susha asked.

"Something else...... Some of the news was deliberately made up by some guys in order to attract attention, and some of the news came from other forces......

In short, until now, not a single real picture of the scene has been circulated.

All messages are in text form.

As for the whereabouts of the South Wind Organization, everyone did not know, but speculated that the location of this organization might be very hidden, perhaps in the mountains.

The biggest significance of tonight's sudden accident is that it has made everyone understand that the masked monster is not just one person.

He also has a group of fanatical believers.

After the Zero Tavern and the Automaton teamed up to issue a bounty on the Masked Monster, the Mask Monster seemed to be on the opposite side of the world for a split second.

The world's masters are rushing to the southwest of the continent, and everyone seems to see him as a prey, wanting to get his head, bounty, and great honor before the rest of the others.

But when the initial craze passed, supporters of the masked monster began to show up.

Some people just have too few channels to speak out, but it's not non-existent.

"Huh, wait...... There's new news!"

Ah Feng suddenly took out his mobile phone, stared at the screen, and raised his eyebrows.

At the same time, many people around also lowered their heads and looked at their mobile phones.

Come to think of it, they all have the same news channel, and this channel is not secretive.

"Wang Teng actually spoke up?" Someone said in surprise.

"He's furious, he's going to kill all the members of the Southwind Order, and then send the heads of the members of the Southwind Order to the Masked Monsters."

"Does he know where the Mask Monster lives? How do I send it?"

「……」

This news was directly released by Wang Teng to the media, and everyone can see it.

As soon as the news came out, there was a discussion in the tavern.

Su Xia also saw the message through Ah Feng's mobile phone, that Wang Teng was indeed angry, just through those words, he could see the image of an angry and ruthless person.

During this time, mercenaries

In the wilderness, it is smooth sailing, and it seems that he has the momentum to become a warlord of secession.

All this is thanks to Wang Teng's personal reputation.

And the blow of the South Wind organization is equivalent to a slap in the face directly, without mercy.

With Wang Teng's ability, it is impossible not to know the relationship between the South Wind Organization and the Mask Monster.

"There's a good show to watch now."

"What is Wang Teng going to do? Mobilize all the horses under his command to encircle and suppress the Southwind Order?"

"For such a long time, the people of the South Wind Organization have long since run away......

"It's only six o'clock in the morning, and those mercenaries are still sleeping, and it will take a lot of time to mobilize them......

It is foreseeable that in the future, those mercenaries in the wilderness will definitely have big movements.

As the king of mercenaries, Wang Teng's anger was not so easy to quell.

After all, the king is not to be dishonored.

"There's probably going to be a big scene." Ah Feng sighed with emotion, "It's a pity that it has nothing to do with ordinary people like us."

"You're a psionic creature, not an ordinary person." Susha said.

"Alas, even if it's half a strengthened person, everything is equal in front of bullets." ….

Ah Feng drank the sweet wine in the bowl, he was still unsatisfied, touched his stomach, and said, "Brother, are you here today just to hear some news?"

"It's not." Su Xia shook her head.

"Ready to do a mission? Do you want me to find you an old team, it won't cost you a few dollars?"

"Not necessarily."

"Or do you want to go it alone? That's dangerous." Ah Feng kindly reminded, "Some tasks seem to be of low difficulty, but there is also the possibility of overturning."

"I'm just here to buy something."

"Brother, you said earlier, come underground, what do you want to buy? I'll introduce you!"

"Do you have a commission?"

"A little bit."

"Okay......

Su Xia got up, swiped her card to pay for two bowls of wine and fennel beans, and then followed Ah Feng to the underground.

The basement floor of the tavern was as calm as ever.

There was no one in front of the bar, and most of the two fifth-level creatures were resting.

Ah Feng asked in a low voice, "Brother, what do you want to buy?"

Susha said, "Buy wine."

"You've come to the right place!" Ah Feng patted his chest and promised, "This is a tavern, bringing together the best wine in the whole continent, as long as you have money, you can buy anything!"

"It's just a small city branch." Su Xia said firmly.

"Hey, brother, don't look down on the branch! Let's go, I'll take you to the cellar!"

Ah Feng pulled Su Xia, quite enthusiastic, and used the special permission ID card to go to the wine cellar on the second basement floor.

The cellar is located in the deepest part of the second basement level, and you have to pass through several cold and dark corridors.

Before she arrived, Su Xia smelled the aroma of wine.

"This is it!"

At the end of the last passage is a heavy bronze metal door.

Ah Feng took out the identity card, swiped it in front of the sensing device, and quickly passed the verification.

"Drip—"

With a soft sound, the door of the cellar opened, revealing a large interior space.

The rich aroma of wine rushes straight out, and as far as the eye can see, there are rows and rows, countless shelves, filled with good wines from all over the world.

Looking at these good wines, Ah Feng looked proud and said to Su Xia, "Brother, do you see it?"

Susha replied, "Yes."

"That's what our tavern has to call for!" Ah Feng gave a thumbs up, "Even the kind of fire dragon drunk you drank last time has several large barrels stored here, and you can drink enough all night!"

"So many?"

"Of course!"

Ah Feng walked into the wine cellar and inhaled the fragrant wine vigorously, looking intoxicated.

But he quickly shook his head and sighed, "Unfortunately, the best barrels of wine were lost last month

Plagiarized."

Susha asked him, "What else is this?"

"yes, and we can't punish the stealer."

Ah Feng opened a wooden cabinet in the wine cellar, patted the cabinet, and said bitterly, "Three hundred catties of wine were stolen overnight!"

The cabinet was empty, there was nothing.

Su Xia noticed that on the cabinet door, there was a note pasted on it, which read:

[This cabinet has no wine 300 catties]

Similarly, inside the cabinet, there was a note that read:

[Yin Yi next door never stole it]

Su Xia was stunned, and remembered what Yin Yi and the local store manager Liu Yinjia had exchanged on the phone before.

Ah Feng asked, "Brother, what price do you want?"

Su Xia looked around, thought for a moment, and said, "Expensive, the more expensive, the better."
