At night, the tavern is packed, with charcoal baking, choking smoke and noise.

The tavern offers some fruit and bread, shortbread and the like, and of course, the oak barrels displayed behind the bar, which contain beer, wine, and silver tongue.

The waiters, a man and two women, were busy and dizzy, and several strong men kept finishing their drinks and slammed the table with their wine glasses.

After the tedious work, drinking and getting drunk became the only pleasure of these poor people, who could drink and smash the table all night long, and the horse trough outside the tavern could usually see the yellow water that was about to fill up during the day.

A drunkard's rough insult attracted the attention of those around him, and several tavern thugs stood up vigilantly, their sticks in their hands reminding him to be quiet.

But apparently he was really drunk, staggering and swaying in a blur.

"Please sit outside for a while." The thug said that with one hand he had pushed the door open, and the drunkard staggered out, and fell to the snow with a thud, not making any move.

The tavern was restored to its original state, and several fishermen were playing crude wizard cards, a popular game card popular among the nobles of Plum City, with some hard-hitting coins on the wine table.

Meicheng does not prohibit some open gambling, and there are special laws to protect each other's profits, which is relatively rare in the world, the rulers do not want their rule to be gamblers, Meicheng is open, so that it can absorb merchants in Meicheng.

"Cooper, you're losing again."

At the wine table, Andre was surprisingly good, he only lost two at the beginning of the day, and then won more than a dozen hands in a row, and he already had more than two hundred Qatar copper coins in his hands, which required him to work for four or five days to earn so much money, and the smile on his face at the moment was frightening.

The other three fishermen were obviously losing money, and Cooper, who had just lost the game again, covered his face with his hands in pain: "How can you possibly find three Pev rings in a row?" So dirty? Wardfa! There must be a ghost inside! ”

Of the three people, Cooper lost the most, a full eighty-eight copper coins, which can buy a few chickens and a little pig!

Andrei smiled without saying a word, and he stacked the coins on the table and put them into his money bag one by one.

The door was pushed open again, and a chill poured in from outside, but the visitor quickly closed it.

Two people, one is a tall and burly man, the other looks strong, but compared to the person next to him, he is not tall, his face is handsome, but the scar is more striking, and the most noticeable thing is his hair, which is silver. What's more, they all carry two swords on their backs!

The appearance of the two people made the surrounding atmosphere slightly different, and the excitement just now seemed to be an illusion.

The two of them seemed to be accustomed to seeing each other, and ordinary people had all kinds of unequal attitudes towards them, so they looked around and sat down on the seat against the wall inside

"A big glass of ale and some dry cakes, thank you." Perandon waved at the bar, and the waitress soon arrived with something, the big man with his legs crossed, his sword resting on the table.

The burly man was the witcher Tovey, and he quipped, "The women of Meicheng all want to go out naked, and they must be liked by the law enforcement officers here." ”

The waitress looked at him for a moment, and did not argue with him, but walked away on her own, and after walking a few steps, she cursed in a low voice: "Damn scum, why don't you let the Templars kill these ......"

In fact, Tovey heard it clearly, but he was just laughing at himself.

Perandon tore the dry cake in his hand open, and took a bite of the ale in his hand, the mellow coarse brew mixed with the coarse and dry cake.

While Andre was joking with a few fishermen, he also noticed the two of Perandon, pointed at him and whispered, "It's a demon hunter!" You see......"

The three fishermen also looked over, the twin swords they were carrying, and their long silver hair...... They immediately pushed Andrei out together.

Before the door was closed, a thin figure wrapped in crimson robes walked in through the crack where several people pushed open the door, the wind stopped again, and the visitor shook off the snow on his hood, scanned the tavern, and walked towards Tovey and Perandon's seats.

The red boots stepped on the wooden floor, making a clattering sound, Perandon looked up, and the red-robed man took off his hood, revealing a beautiful face, a girl about twenty-five years old, sat down beside Tovey, and said to the two, "You haven't seen you two for a long time, how can you contact me?" It's been two years since the last time Serdis and you tracked down the dragon snake in Quate Canyon. ”

Before Perandon could speak, Tovey pointed at him and said, "The Grand Duke of Plum City is dead, and Perandon needs to go back to pay his respects, and in addition to that, he has accepted a new commission." ”

The girl looked at Perandon in surprise, covered her mouth and said, "Perandon, you are really cold-blooded. ”

Perandon's pale yellow eyes lifted, and the girl stopped asking questions.

"So, what did you call me for?"

Perandon said, "We need you, the target's name is Leon, he lives in the Settaste district of Plum City, but he seems to have traveled to the Shadow Forest, where he stole the Ring of Destruction of the Grand Master of the Templar Order, Mirek...... We're going to get that ring back. ”

The girl's expression was very strange, and then she spread her hands and said, "So what? What are you going to ask me to do? ”

Tovey glanced at Perandon and nodded, "We need a spellcaster, Leah, and you should know that only an alchemist can create equipment to deal with it." ”

Leah nodded: "There's going to be a fight?" Well, the Ring of Demonbreakers, the Templar equipment...... It is estimated that there will be an inscription of the sacred pattern, and some light stones will also be added? Okay, I have all the materials. Tell us about what matters most to us. ”

Perandon didn't speak, but threw her money bag on the wine table, and Leah opened it to find a dazzling gold and silver coin that made her eyes hot.

"Hmm, the level of the Ring of Demon Breakers?"

"Level 7."

"I'm a bit of a loss, your money is only enough to craft a Reflective Mana Armor that synthesizes a Level 6 Enchanted Stone." Leah pocketed the gold in disdain, then frowned and asked, "The Templars are looking for help from the witchers?" I don't think it's normal. ”

Tovey waved his hand and pointed to the Meicheng flags on both sides of the tavern fireplace: "It's not because war is coming, the Grand Knights of the Templars won't risk their lives. ”

"I mean really, Perandon, you should stop this war," Leah said, standing up, putting on her hood, looking at Perandon and saying, "Now, only you can stop the war of Meicheng, Danton, and Horadona, your brother who loves to wield his sword on the battlefield, and really destroy the realm of wizards, trolls, and barbarians." ”

Some of the other people in the tavern also looked at each other, and a few citizens who opposed the oppressive war also whispered discussions.

Perandon got up and drank the ale from his glass, and Tovey got up and went to the bar to pay the bill.

The wind and snow outside had slowed down a bit, and only a little white was still falling.

"Let's go to the bank first, Isco left you something, saying you need it." Tovey patted Perandon on the back and waved at him.

At night, the two witchers say goodbye to each other on Sunset Street in Plum City, and Perandon will stay in Plum City for the time being to attend his father's memorial service, while Tovey will travel to the Setas district, where he will stay for a while and wait for Leah's equipment.

There were few passers-by still walking on the streets of Meicheng, and only a few shops were still open on the spacious streets, and someone was standing on a round stone pier, and he called out to the passers-by around him in the light wind and snow: "The storm is coming!" Brothers and sisters of Qatar, the city of May is preparing for a new war! In winter, the soldiers on the front lines fight in the cold winds, and the dastardly wizards deliberate tricks and manipulate the curse of death! ”

Perandon stood across the street, silently watching the man's speech, and some of the citizens of Meicheng gathered over with worried faces and whispered to each other.

"The Emperor is leading the legions of Qatar in a crusade against Serdis, the corpses are being eaten by the flying corpses and beggars on the Red Plains, the gods of the High Court are weeping over it, and our Grand Duke of Mefal, who has just ascended the throne as the Duke of Meicheng, is about to sweep through the chaos on a larger scale......"

"Death is at your side, the blood of warriors and the poetry of bards are accompanied by the feet of the Holy Spirit, the bones belong only to the Grim Reaper, they are made into the horses of the Nether Legion, and even the souls of the deceased will be holyly banished to hell ......"

The crowd began to get agitated, some of the citizens looked frightened, and more were restless.

"Viren!"

A shout, a man in the distance shouted and quickly escaped into the alley, but the man who spoke also reacted, and saw that about two hundred meters away, more than a dozen law enforcers wearing half-body armor ran towards him, and the boss of the law enforcer also signaled to arrest the man who had been reminded before, and three law enforcers also ran into the alley.

Viren hurriedly jumped off the platform and ran into the crowd, and everyone in the crowd fled in panic, causing some trouble for the enforcers.

Wei Lun quickly took off his robe and strode through the street, and two crossbow arrows were nailed into the stone wall next to him in the next moment!

"Stop! Viren Faeber, you ......"

The law enforcement officer behind him drew his sword at his waist and instructed all the law enforcers to keep up with the speed, and the few pedestrians on the street gave way to avoid it, and some roadside law enforcers surrounded him, but fortunately, Wei Ren's speed was enough to run and jump over some potted plants and fences, and race against the law enforcers in the residential area.

No one knows how this guy practiced his slippery body technique, and twenty or thirty law enforcers almost caught him several times, but they just missed it by a fraction of a second. In the words of the sheriff: slippery and more disgusting than those damn rats in the sewers!

Viren pulled out two round green balls from his trouser pocket, the spheres were glass, wrapped in green fluorescent green sand, and threw them at the enforcers!

The magistrate was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ordered everyone to separate, and there was a violent explosion! Thick green smoke rose, pushing everyone in the alley to the side, and the sheriff angrily stood up and rushed out of the smoke.

There was a mess around, and there was no one else at all except law enforcement officers.

Viren turned left and right, and walked quickly through the alley, but suddenly stopped after walking some distance, he turned his head to look around, and there was no one.

"Who?"

As soon as the witcher moved, the cloak on his body made a rustling sound of scales and blades, he had been waiting in the corner of the alley in front of him for a long time, he looked at Viren and said, "Long time no see, sleepless." ”

Viren let down her guard when she saw that it was Perandon, patted the dust on her body and smiled: "It's you, Perlandon." ”

The two shook hands intimately and bumped shoulders, and Perandon looked at him and said, "I didn't expect you to be in Meicheng, is Terina okay?" I've heard that you've returned to the House of Adventurers, and that you've been on your way to Goau with you. ”

Viren patted Perandon on the chest and said, "Because of the damned war, the war between Qatar and Serdes destroyed the economy of Go'Or, where the bankers refused to lend money to the civilians, and the rebels formed a rebel army of several thousand men, from which we fled the night before. ”

"Terina's okay, she's pregnant, and we live in a small town under the trees outside of Plum City."

"What about you? Oh! You're here to see your father one last time, right? ”

Perandon did not deny it: "I think he forgave me before he died." I had to go to the bank and Isco told Tovey that he had left me something at the bank. ”

Viren was surprised: "Isco, that guy sent a message from him before, and joined the army that attacked Serdis. ”

Isco was once Perandon's best brother, and both were witchers, but Isco wanted to return to Qatari society, and he decided to serve the emperor in order to gain the approval of Qatar's nobility.

Viren didn't think much of it, and invited Perandon to go to his next place to say goodbye to each other, and several enforcers hurried in and chased in Viren's direction.

Arriving at the Bank of Plum City, Perandon received a gift from Isco, a goblin holding a delicate arm crossbow with a dyed bobcat carved on the crossbow, which Perandon put on his right arm and muttered, "Good thing, military." ”

……

The main castle was in order, and it was not chaotic because of the haste of war preparations, and the commander of the First Legion, Sika, stood in front of Merfal, looking at Merfal's expression with some fear.

Fortunately, in his imagination, Mofal's outburst did not come, and he was rewarded with a long period of calm.

"The First Legion of Kellyd and the First Legion of Dandong finally rested for seven days, and after seven days, they jointly settled in Fengxi Town."

This is the fourth order issued by Mofal today, the army's preparation is still poor due to the opening of the wasteland, but Mofal knows that the soldiers are fast, so he will transfer the garrison in Dandong.

The barbarian legions of Horadona had begun to storm the towns around Plum City early, and the garrisons had been holding on to the area, reinforcing each other, and had formed a defensive line at the front of Horadona, waiting for Mefal's army to arrive.

According to the information from the front, the number of barbarians was roughly 1 to 50,000, and some barbarian cavalry on cattle swept through a dozen villages and burned down local grain depots.

"Huh!" Muffal crossed his legs, flanked by his weapons that galloped across the battlefield, a knight's spear in his left hand, and two of his famous two-handed swords on his right, Kellyd Hearts and Silver Twilight.

At the age of sixteen, Meffar had already led his army on his own and began to reclaim his territory, especially at the age of twenty-two, when he led a small fleet of 20,000 men and a small fleet to conquer the city of Danton, which once belonged to Serdis, and once again spread his prestige to many city-states and principalities.

It was a war that led to the peace that we have had for a long time.

Merfal closed his eyes tiredly, the guards on both sides stood quietly around the hall, and the maids who added charcoal also walked away lightly.

The slightest change will disturb this powerhouse, especially the magic element!

At the end of the teleportation ritual for a few seconds, a cluster of flames transformed into a door and ignited out of thin air in the center of the hall, and in the light of the fire, a woman dressed in Ayara came out, powerful magical elements condensed in her.

"Quich's emissary, Hill Vana, hopes to negotiate with Archduke Murfar of Kellid on the details of the border truce." The woman glanced around gracefully, these human soldiers wrapped in iron armor did not move at all, and she was not prepared to defend against the enemy, only to find the young man sitting above.

The man's gaze was calm, Sylvana could only feel a heavy pressure, she felt the hairs on her body stand up, this sense of crisis oppression is even greater than that of Quicki!

The man's hand slowly rested on the armrest, revealing a tired expression, but those eyes were always hitting Sylvana, and he sat up straight and said, "A blood elf from Horadona?" Welcome to Meicheng. ”
