Chapter 10 Fishing
The bell on the door jingled to a crunch, and Monica and Barbu pushed open the tavern door and walked in. It is said to be a tavern, in fact, the business during the day is mainly catering, and the night is the tavern, and it is now noon, which is the time period when there are the most people in the tavern, the hall is full, and there are even people queuing at the door, and the business is obviously very good.
As soon as she entered the door, Monica frowned, and walked around all morning, it is said that the food here is good and cheap, and the two came with Anna, but they didn't expect to be startled as soon as they entered the door, and they actually had to wait. It is worthy of being a more prosperous town than Sol Town, where have you ever seen this kind of scene in Sol Town, if it weren't for Monica's previous experience, including medium-sized cities, I'm afraid I don't even know what waiting is. Now she understood, but she didn't want to waste all her time in line, so she frowned and looked at it, although she didn't want to, but she was still ready to leave.
It's a big deal, just find something to eat and make do with it.
"Smack", before the body moved, the hand was pulled, Monica glanced at Babu suspiciously, but she did not move, but leaned on Babu's side, waiting for him to make a move.
"What?" Babu suddenly exclaimed, the voice was a little loud, not only attracted the ideas of a few people at the door, but even a few of the guests inside stopped to talk, looking this way, Babu hurriedly made a ashamed expression, nodded and apologized to a few people around, and then lowered his voice and asked, "You said that Jack, Sas, and their three children will have health problems?" ”
"Uh, yes." Although she didn't fully understand Babu's intentions, Monica replied honestly, "There is too much pollution on the edges, especially at night, and the pollution is even worse, although they are lucky not to mutate, but a serious illness is inevitable." Fortunately, if you are sick, you will be fine, and there will be no sequelae, which is the only good news. ”
The latter words were much quieter, but after the first call of the idea, the surroundings were so quiet that even if the voice was lowered, the rest of the people could hear it more clearly than when they were louder than just now. In addition, the door suddenly became quiet, and the people in the seats inside also noticed that the strange state temporarily stopped talking and asked the people around them what was going on, and the silent state quickly spread from the door to the interior, and for a while, the tavern was extremely quiet, and only a few people lowered their voices to ask and explain what was going on.
Then it fell into a more noisy state, and everyone was passing on the conversation at the door. Just like the mayor said, the feat of the three fools has alarmed the whole town, and almost everyone knows what they did, after all, they are neighbors in the same town, and they all have a little affection, and they are a little embarrassed when they hear that the three of them are going to be seriously ill.
Wait, who's the one who speaks?
There were many guests in the tavern, and it was inevitable that a few of them had experienced the incident of finding people and beating people in the morning, but before they were just too many people to notice them, but now with the second wave of noise, the identities of the three people spread all over the tavern, and everyone's attention was attracted.
Soon, some guests who were close to the three bear children came together to express their gratitude, and some expressed their willingness to give up their seats to the three of them, and before the three of them could refuse, the owner of the tavern had already heard the movement and greeted them.
The owner of the hotel was not to miss out on such a great opportunity to create a positive image for the hotel's expansion, and immediately came out to make room for the trio, supposedly for the brave warriors of the gathering party and the guards. And he has repeatedly said that he must be given a chance to pay tribute to the hero who saved people, and he will treat the three of them to this meal.
"Absolutely not." Babu's expression was very serious, even loud, "You helped us prepare our seats, and we are willing to accept it, because it will make us feel that our kindness has been repaid, and we are very touched." However, we must not accept such a thing as letting you give us free services, who do you think of us? We, the fighters with strength and resistance, while enjoying privileges and benefits, should also shoulder the responsibility of reciprocity, and saving people is just a gesture, and since we have seen it, we cannot ignore it. For such a small thing that should be done, how can it be possible to get anything in return.
As he spoke, Babu pointed to the five or six tables of guests around him, and continued: "There must be some fighters from the town around them, and if you don't understand, you can ask them, and they will surely understand what I mean by privileges and obligations, so please don't mention your treat." ”
After finishing speaking, in the applause of the surroundings, Babu politely gave the right to place an order to Monica, and after the embarrassed shopkeeper hurriedly returned to the counter, Monica forced a smile and whispered with a strange face: "Don't queue up, this is your little trick?" It's bad. ”
"Part of it." Babu's gaze wandered around, as if he were visiting his surroundings, and from time to time he returned the salute to the guests who nodded to him, but his gaze was actually constantly annotating the guests around him, and he turned around several times before retracting his gaze and whispering, "Actually, this is not a skill, it can only be said to be a small means of manipulating attention." ”
"But why did you refuse?" Monica asked puzzled, "When he said that he wanted to have a treat, he had already met the conditions, which means that you had already treated him." ”
"I'm not here to have a meal, otherwise I wouldn't have to spend so much energy, I have a bigger goal." Babu shrugged his shoulders and explained casually, "Besides, the food money can't be delayed, and if nothing else, someone should have settled the bill for us by now." ”
"Huh?"
"You used to be the captain of the scavenging team, if one day this kind of accident that should have been your responsibility was suddenly robbed by outsiders, and you still said such things in public after robbing, even if you hate it in your heart, for the sake of face, so as not to be pointed at by the townspeople, shouldn't you also express it, for example, to settle our accounts?"
Babu said casually, and suddenly there was a light in his eyes, and his eyes began to drift in one direction frequently, and the expression of regret and regret on his face had almost reached the point of substance, but his mouth was talking about irrelevant things.
"In addition, I have actually seen a table of people nearby who just sneaked to the counter, while taking out their wallets to give money while comparing to our side, and officially made a return with someone when they checked out, I guess the one who listened to the report is similar to your identity, or it is Gauss's kind, so I'm so sure that someone has already helped us settle the bill."
"You guy." Monica felt angry and funny, and couldn't help but cooperate, and now she was holding back her laughter very hard, so she had to hang her head to prevent anyone from seeing her expression, "Then what are you doing now, you be careful that people come to beat you, I think his strength should be stronger than yours, I won't help when the time comes, I'm also afraid of being beaten, ah, it's already here." ”
"Don't make a fuss, I'm fishing, and...... The fish has taken the bait. ”
What Babu had always expressed regret and regret was a large man at the table next to him, at least two meters tall, with a stout build, and a double-edged battle axe at his leg. The biggest feature of this person is the same as Rick in the town of Sol before, that is, he is covered in tattoos, even on his bald head.
Babu's gaze was too obvious, the tattooed man had already discovered it, and he was repeatedly watched by Babu, and he also muttered a little in his heart.
He is a member of the Grepp Town Collection Team, which is very similar to the work of the Sol Town Scavenging Team, although his personality is very strong, but he is not angry at this time, let alone beating people, after all, with the current reputation of Babu and Monica, he can't easily get angry and beat people, but he is inevitably a little nervous, so he simply came over directly to ask for advice, wondering what Babu is regretting.
"Ah, sorry, sorry." Hearing the other party's question, Babu patted his face and said apologetically, "Am I so obvious?" No wonder Monica always says I can't hide things in my heart, and I have a little idea written on my face, really, oops, I'm really sorry for bothering you. ”
"Actually, it's not your problem, it's my own, and when I see you, I am reminded of a relic that I passed by on the edge of another piece not long ago. At that time, the three of us saw a lot of pictures and murals in the ruins, and also learned a story. ”
As Babu narrated, not only the tattooed man, but also several of his companions, and even the guardians who were obviously not part of the system came over and listened to the story with great interest.
"It should be in the era corresponding to that ruin, the warriors of their clan have a habit of assigning all kinds of equipment to powerful warriors, including bracers and chest guards, and only the most brave and powerful warriors are qualified to wear their ultimate protective gear - collars, come, look at this picture."
Babu pulled out a picture with a strange signature and placed it on the table, and the others looked at it curiously. In the photo, a muscular strong man is shirtless, with bracers with nails on his wrists, and his bare upper body in leather pants, two leather belts, one left and one right, cross and wrap around his back, and a heavy black barbed collar around his neck.
Well, Monica's eyes were nailed to Babu's face like a knife, didn't this guy put this stack of signed pictures back in the safe, why did he still bring it out. This one is brought out, so that picture of a beautiful woman pressing her skirt......
"This picture was found in the ruins, this is the strongest warrior of their race, I don't know his name, I'll call him for the time being, well, the dark goblin, it's not good, it's not good, it's better to call it Billy, this is the name that a warrior should have." "He defended his people for many years, but once, when a large group of mutants attacked their people, there were so many enemies that after three days of bloody fighting, he and his comrades were killed, and the tribe was destroyed. In the end, his comrades-in-arms also gave up, and one by one died completely, only he and his ten most staunch followers, who could not let go of the heavy responsibility of guarding the race, turned into mutants after death, and persistently wandered in their homeland. ”
"It took Monica and me a day to get away with the mutants of him and his followers, and I could feel their peace and gratitude as they all left laughing." Babu sighed deeply and comforted Monica sincerely, "Monica, don't cry, such an ending is the best destination for a brave man, you should laugh." ”
Monica lowered her head and covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking, as if she had to endure it to keep from crying.
"They left, leaving us with this, a relic that represents the identity of the warrior commander, which not only increases defense, but also reflects some damage." After comforting Monica, Babu took out the collar on the mutant dog and respectfully placed it next to the signed picture on the table, his tone was full of respect, "Monica and I began to think about bringing it ourselves, but we are not only not fit and strong, let alone martial arts, and bringing it is a blasphemy against the deceased, so we simply left them." ”
After saying this, Babu began to collect the collar and pictures on the table, while continuing: "I just saw you because I thought of him, even if he became a mutant, he was as strong as you, if he could see you, he would definitely prefer to leave it to you, but it's a pity." ”
"Do you sell this collar?" Seeing that Babu was already about to put away his things, the big man scratched his bald head and said anxiously, "I bought it, you can make a price." ”
"Sorry, that's not possible." Without hesitation, Babu shook his head and said, "I want to leave a memorial to those brave warriors." ”
"Don't, Brother Babu." Before the bald head could speak, some onlookers couldn't help it, and persuaded him, "Since you are afraid of blaspheming the will of the deceased and can't bear to use it, and the original owner hopes to have a brave and strong master, then wouldn't it be good for everyone for you to transfer the collar to our brother." ”
"That's right, brother, think about it, you can't let the relics of the dead warriors be left empty in vain."
"This ......," said Babu, who was silent, actually holding Monica's hand under the table, and Monica was making a gesture of the number forty. Although she has not been in business for ten years, she has come into contact with many foreign merchants in the past ten years, and she has not been out of touch with market prices, and Babu believes in the level of her valuation. But at this time, his expression was quite struggling, and finally gritted his teeth, "Okay, the transfer is okay, but I will offer eighty silver coins." ”
Monica's expression didn't move, but the doubling price made her hand tremble, but she still assisted in time, adding: "It refers to the silver coin of Krías City, if it is the silver coin of Vera City, it is ......"
"Our town uses the Silver Coins of Kryas City." This time it was the bald head's turn to hesitate a little, and it was already beyond his psychological price, "That's the price......"
"It's a bit expensive." Babu nodded, "Because I have transferred to you the image of the signature of this valiant warrior king, I believe that this signed image will surely carry his spirit and carry on his martial prowess in you." ”
"Sss The bald head is more tempting, and with the signature picture, not only is the equipment available, but even the boasting in front of colleagues is more grounded.
"No, you can't buy it." At some point, Sherlock, the skinny head of trade, was already standing next to him and spoke up in time to stop the transaction.
