187 Federal Coins
The dimly lit tavern, the drunken shouts of the mercenaries, the constant whistles of the tavern girls, the smell of erosion can be seen everywhere here,
This happens a lot, as the tavern is a gold cave for all mercenaries, especially those in towns on the edge of the forest;
The spirit is in tension for a long time, and they are always engaged in life-and-death battles with Warcraft, so for these mercenaries, most of their expectations are to return to the city safely, and after delivering the task, they will receive a good reward;
Then come to the tavern to have a good drink, drink delicious spirits, eat a bite of freshly cooked food, everything will be relaxed, but there will also be frequent battles;
At this time, in the corner of the originally noisy tavern, one or two mercenaries gradually hugged each other and fought, and at this time a man in a suit and leather shoes walked into the door of the tavern;
It's just that all the mercenaries in the tavern, their eyes are all looking at the fight, and they don't notice that there is such a man in the chaotic tavern;
After entering the tavern, the man did not go straight to the counter, but was also attracted by the scene of the fight, and stepped forward to watch like the others;
No one in the onlookers stepped forward to persuade them, but they were watching a play on the sidelines, and some even kept shouting with wine glasses;
"Give him a punch!"
"Get up, you, you're going to lie down?"
"Left, left, will there be a fight in the end, like a camel chicken!"
..............................
............
In such a noisy environment, the man in the neat suit, who did not feel any discomfort, but enjoyed it very much, and kept throwing a gold coin in his hand;
At this time, the owner of the tavern, who was also the bartender of the tavern, discovered that a nobleman had appeared among the tattered mercenaries, and the experience of Funing Mansion made him know that the man in front of him was a nobleman;
I saw him step forward, come to the man's side, bow slightly, and put his hands on his chest, which is standard in the aristocracy, but for a pot-bellied tavernkeeper, it just seems a little funny;
"Welcome to the Flame Tavern, my lord!"
"The Flame Tavern? yes, you're still very lively here. ”
"Hehe, my lord laughed, it seems that my lord has come to Green Branch City for the first time, right?"
Hearing the tavern owner's question, the man in the suit was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't show much, and the whole boss could actually detect that he was an outsider.
"Interesting, how do you know, I don't seem to have revealed anything, I can't assume that I am an outsider because of the noble deputy envoy I wear, right?"
"Of course this is impossible, and the reason why I think you are an outsider, my lord, is not because of the clothes you wear. ”
"Oh, then I really want to hear it, how do you see it?"
"Although my Flame Tavern is not large, there are many taverns as big as me in Green Branch City, but they are not as good as my tavern business, if only because I have a good eye. ”
"Good eye, does that make your tavern business so good?"
"No, it's not that simple, my tavern was just a tavern at the beginning, and not long ago a man fainted at the door of my tavern;
Although he was dressed in tatters, I could tell that he had a temperament that was completely different from that of ordinary mercenaries, so I took him in that night and gave him a glass of wine and food, but the next day he disappeared. ”
"What do you mean by this, does that down-and-out man have anything to do with your tavern?"
"Don't worry, honorable guest, I haven't finished speaking, just the day after I helped that young man, I was summoned by the city lord, you must know that the city lord is not something we little people can see if we want to meet;
And in the city lord's mansion, I saw the young man again, he was sitting in the city lord's mansion, and the city lord's attitude towards this young man was also very respectful, and after that, my tavern business was getting better and better. ”
"So that's the case, it seems that your vision is really good, a young man who looks like a beggar, but you are not stingy, at a critical time, you actually gave him a little food, I have to say that your vision is really good, then give me a glass of the best bar you think." ”
After saying this, the man in the suit walked to the counter, ordered a glass of wine, took off the felt hat from his head, and waited for the tavern owner to make it for him;
"Haha, you can rest assured, with your identity, you will definitely not be disappointed if you have tasted the wine I concocted,"
"Then I'll wait and see, just now you said that because you have a good eye, you can see that my identity is not ordinary, but you didn't say why you concluded that I am an outsider. ”
"It's very simple, this gold coin in your hand already says it all! This cup of flame is the signature of our tavern, please taste it!"
The tavern owner quickly made a glass of wine, and the red liquor continued to rise with flames, which aroused the interest of the man in the suit;
When he got closer, the man found that the flame on the wine glass was not a lit flame, but a red liquor emerging from the wine glass, and when it was placed on the tip of his nose, a rich and slightly spicy aroma of wine came to his face;
The man picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then his pupils opened, and a spicy sensation exploded in his mouth, and then a flush appeared on his face;
After pausing for a moment, the man in the suit opened his eyes and sighed from his heart,
"Yes, yes, your wine does deserve the name of the flame. ”
"It's really not easy to be a customer, after taking this cup of flame, you are the second customer I have seen, who didn't choke immediately. ”
"The second one, I wonder who the first one is?"
"The first one, the boy I was talking about! I made a cup of flame and wanted to drink it myself, but the boy suddenly fainted at my door, so I gave it to him, and not only did he not choke, but he drank it as well as water. ”
"Oh, that's interesting. ”
Holding the wine glass, the boy in the suit had a golden light in his eyes, and muttered thoughtfully, and then he took out the gold coin from before and threw it to the tavern owner;
"Since you know what this is, you should also know its value, and it should be enough to take it for a cup of flame!"
"Enough is enough, the villain accepted the invitation of the city lord once before, and that time I saw something, I remember it seems to be called the Federation Coin, it is said that the current transactions between the Federation Kingdom and other regions use this. ”
"It seems that you do know a lot, yes, this is the Federation Coins, and the most valuable gold coin, and the ghost vine used in your Flame Wine is only a silver coin, and one gold coin is more than enough. ”
"Yes, yes, thank you for the reward, I know that the reason why you are here should be some news that needs to be inquired, right?
"Maybe you really know a little bit about the boy you talked about earlier, I don't know what his name is?"
"I didn't ask at the time, I just remember hearing the city lord seem to call him Lotte or something!"
"That's his, thank you for your hospitality, and thank you for the news. ”
With a sound of thanks, the man in the suit picked up his felt hat and seemed to be ready to leave;
"It's my honor to be able to help you, by the way, you asked the name of the young man just now, and I don't know, what is the name of the guest?"
"I'm Alam, goodbye, Deni!"
"Walk slowly, Mr. Alam. ”
In the darkness, the figure of the man in the suit gradually disappeared, and just when the tavernkeeper could not see the man's figure, he suddenly remembered that it seemed that he had not told Aram that his name was Denis. “
..............................................................................
At this time, Alam was no longer near the tavern, and after finding out the news, he turned into a dark shadow and floated towards the city lord's mansion;
"I didn't expect the successor of Karl III to come here, this is indeed a good place, there are not many cities far away from the imperial capital, one is a rock city, and the other is this green branch city;"
In a matter of moments, Alam had already arrived at the city lord's mansion, and after the spiritual visit, Alam was suddenly a little surprised, because he had not found a human connected to the bloodline of Karl III.
"How so? Did I misjudge? No, the tavernkeeper named Denis, the moment he saw my bewitchment gold;
He couldn't have lied in front of me, so the boy he was talking about must be the successor of Karl III! ”
Alam was suspicious and made another spiritual visit, but still found no trace of Lot;
However, they found a dungeon, in which several black-clad figures sat together, and the figure kneeling in front of them was Olaf, the lord of Green Branch, whose whole body was bound and covered with scars.
The strange scene made Alam feel that there seemed to be some secret in it, perhaps related to Lot. I saw that after he spun around him, he turned into a whirlwind and blew into this secret room.
"How's that, Lord Olaf, won't you say?"
"Bah, I won't tell you!"
"Hehe, you're going to give me a lot of headaches, after all, you're only delaying time, and the adults behind me, they're not as patient as I am!"
"I knew it was Cork, Randeep, and Hawthorne, and I knew they were the hell!"
There was a click, a drop of blood, and then several of Olaf's teeth fell out;
"I'm sorry that because of your rudeness, I had to use this rough way to make you understand that you need to be careful about the way you speak. ”
"Lao Tzu was conspired by those old guys to deprive me of my military position, and even my family was slaughtered by you inhumane dead soldiers, and you still want me to respect them, dream!
In the end, Olaf spit out a thick phlegm with blood directly towards the man in black, and just as the thick phlegm was about to shoot on the man, a barrier appeared and blocked the thick phlegm;
"It's really troublesome, and it's going to waste a lot of time, No. 3, I'll leave the rest to you, the time must be fast!"
"Don't worry, I like such hard bones, their screams are so pleasant!"
"Three, don't forget our purpose, the master has commanded, Lott Houston, we must find him, and bring him back, he is the most critical!"
"I understand, don't worry, you better go out, in less than a quarter of an hour, I will pry the news out of his mouth for you. ”
The man in black, known as Three, was a thin man, and from the way he walked, it was clear that his hands and feet were partially mutilated, and he walked up to Olaf and opened a box full of all kinds of tools, and even blood remained on it;
"Then I'll leave it to you, we'll hear from you. ”
The rest of the men in black, seeing the moment No. 3 opened the toolbox, the Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if he wanted to bring something, and after giving a command, he walked out of the dungeon.
As soon as they walked out of the dungeon, a scream came from behind them, and it didn't stop, each time it became more and more miserable, and these men in black seemed to have long been used to it.
"One, do you think this time the master will fail?"
"Shut up, Seven, don't doubt the master's ability, as long as we capture Lott Houston and bring it back to the royal capital, the director can turn defeat into victory, that old fellow of Karl III must not be the master's opponent. ”
"But I have heard that the whole kingdom is now out of the control of the master, and now that the kingdom's military power is held back by the Scarlet Empire, Karl III has implemented the federal currency system and controlled the economy in his hands. ”
"That's not what we're going to consider, Seven, and if you go any further, then I have reason to doubt your loyalty to your master!"
"It's me thinking too much, Number One. ”
"Well, we're waiting for news from Number Three, and as soon as we know where Lott Houston has gone, we'll leave right away!
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
..................
......
In the darkness of the night, Aram listened to the wonderful roar, and he looked at the deformed human with admiration in his eyes;
He really didn't expect that on this continent, there would be such a human being with such an interesting soul, and his heart became interested, but he still had a task to do, and he could not preach;
The terrible screaming lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and Olaf stopped screaming, and by this time he was like a dead fish, slumped on the ground, without any life;
The rest of the people walked in, and instead of looking at the ground, they asked Three directly;
"Where?"
"Sunset Mountains, Bandel City!"
"Chase!"
Although their speed was fast enough, there was still one person who was faster than these men in black, and that was Alam, who headed towards the Sunset Mountains after the news came out of the torture three;
At this time, the target that everyone was looking for - Lott Houston, dressed in military uniform, was stationed and resting in a mercenary group in the rocky forest;
Suddenly Lot's ears moved slightly, and he seemed to sense something, and looked at the grass beyond the camp, where there was a small crumbling sound;
Pulling out the long sword he was carrying, Lott slowly walked towards the grass, and with the long sword in his hand, he slowly picked through the grass and found that it was an ordinary big-eared rabbit;
The long sword was so strong that the long-eared rabbit was frightened and immediately jumped away, and after seeing the big-eared rabbit leave, he looked to the east, where some lights were flickering, and it was the Green Branch City.
When Lot was attacked by the beast tide in Rock City, he had been guarding the rock city with the mercenaries, although the guards of the rock city were very heroic, but the attack of the beast tide was too fierce;
It didn't take long for them to declare the defeat of the defense, and that night, Lott had a close understanding of the cruelty of the Warcraft, the life-and-death crisis in the battle, and at the last moment, he was pushed by Alto into the teleportation array and transmitted to the Green Branch City;
It's just that when teleporting, the energy of the teleportation array was insufficient, and he didn't reach Green Branch City smoothly, but fell into the middle of the road, and finally walked to Green Branch City;
What happened afterwards was that with the help of the tavernkeeper, his body gradually recovered, and then he found the lord of Green Branch City, Olaf, who, like Alto, also helped Lott unconditionally;
Just tonight, Lott is suddenly woken up by Olaf and then stuffed into a mercenary group, which he follows to Bandel City;
He asked Olaf why he was in such a hurry, and Olaf replied that the group of Red Flame Settlements he had asked him to find seemed to have appeared in Bandel City, and that they were accompanied by humans;
And the mercenary group that recently went to Bandle City is only one team tonight, so they will set off, but Lott knows from Olaf's panicked look that it is not so simple!
"I don't know what happened to the city lord of Olaf, my father said that there are not many ministers in the kingdom who can trust the city lord, and Olaf is one of them. ”
"Your father is right, that Olaf is indeed a trustworthy man!"
Just as Lot was muttering to himself, a voice suddenly emerged from the darkness, and following the voice, Lott saw a figure, and immediately drew his sword and jumped backwards;
"Who are you?"
"Don't be nervous, you take a look at this first!"
As the voice of the shadow fell, a parchment roll wrapped in a dull jade stone was thrown at Lot, who caught it easily, and when it fell into Lot's hand, the gray jade actually shone brightly;
"Carl Glory!!"
"Take a good look, I was sent by your father to tell you this!"
Spreading out the parchment scroll, there was not much on it, but Lott could tell that it was indeed the handwriting of his father, Karl III;
After a moment, he raised his head and looked at the man in the darkness, a pair of golden eyes appeared, and at the same time he took out a white feather from his bosom;
"After reading the letter, you should believe that I am not a threat to you. ”
"In my father's letter, it seems that Mr. Alam's name is right?"
"Yes, this is just one of my past names, and this feather is what I came here for. ”
After saying that, Alam threw the feather in his hand to Lot, and after catching it, Lott felt that there was nothing special, but it was mentioned in his father's handwriting.
"It seems that you didn't know that it had happened, that Olaf who sheltered you in escape, that is, the lord of Green Branch, he is dead, and he only revealed your traces before he died, which is very respectable. ”
"What???Is the Lord of Olaf dead?Who killed him?"
Lott was shocked to hear the news that Alam had brought, he guessed that the Lord of Olaf was hiding something from him, but he didn't expect him to lose his life because of this incident.
"That's right, through your father's handwriting, you should also know that your father doesn't have much time, so in the future, we will have a lot of transactions, I can reveal some news to you, it's a benefit!"
"Do you know anything?"
"Of course, I know a lot of things, including your current thoughts, you want to go to Bandel City, find the friends you met before, and let them help you return to the Holy Royal Capital!"
"That's right, so what are the benefits you are talking about?"
"The brutal killer of Olaf is a group of dead soldiers, their allegiance is to Cork Blank, their purpose this time is to capture you, bring you back to the royal capital, and control you like your father!"
"I know that my father's body is in the prime of life, how can he be so weak, all of this is really done by those old things in Cork!"
"That's right, friendly reminder, those dead soldiers have already arrived here, this mercenary group, Olaf has found you as a guard, unfortunately, they are no match for those dead soldiers. ”
As he spoke, a golden light suddenly appeared, and a gold coin appeared in Alam's hand, tumbling on his fingertips;
"I can help you deal with them, and you can move on, find your approved partners, return to the royal capital, get rid of the people in Kork, and win back the leadership of the kingdom. ”
"This deal, it will be very fair, this is the benefit I give you, I don't know if you want to?"
At this time, Lot, looking at the gold coins that kept tumbling in the air, a ray of golden light appeared in his eyes, and then he looked at Alam and asked in a low voice;
"If I want to deal with those people with my own hands, what price do I have to pay to get that kind of power?"
Hearing Lot's words, Alam smiled slightly, and behind him, a golden sword slowly emerged;
"If that's the case, we can make another trade!"
"I agree. ”
