Chapter Seventy-Eight: Celebration in the Tavern
Ann took a sip of ice water and looked at the place where she had worked.
As the Holy Warriors led by Orpheus and the people worked together to exterminate the Black Snake Gang, the tavern specially opened a "three-day free drink" event.
And I finally don't have to continue working here.
She looked at Ryan.
I still feel like I can't connect the other person with the "juice" drink.
"What's wrong?" Ryan asked, "Is there anything dirty on my face?" ”
"Nope."
Quietly shook her head.
[Just because of that, you're going to ruin this town and ruin my and Amy's lives?] ]
[I'm not going to let you go, I'm going to smash your face to pieces, and you idiot deserve it!] ]
She remembered what she had said to Nansen.
Although in retrospect, Ann can still recall how she felt when she said those words, but when she thought about it again, Ann's heart was left with a sense of confusion.
Amy has awakened to become a Red Dragon Dragon Warlock, and the Black Snake Gang no longer exists, so what should be the way forward?
Odd.
Either way, I should feel happy, after all, Amy and I don't have to live like we used to, but why do I still feel empty in my heart?
That's right.
Ryan once mentioned that I would need to "do a favor" when the things in the town were all taken care of, and now that Nansen is dead and Amy's body is basically fully recovered, all that remains is to go to the baron and get paid.
So now, it seems like a good opportunity to ask.
At this time.
Knock –
"Damn, Ann, and Ryan—" Bandy's swearing voice came over, "Phew, hoo, I'm tired...... I knew you were in this place! ”
"Bandy?" Ann was surprised and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"Of course I have something to say to you," said Bandy, gasping as he watched the stunned gazes of the guests in the tavern who were celebrating from afar, "—I say, Nansen should be dead, right?" ”
"That's right, he's dead."
Ann nodded.
"Did you help me, no, help the townsfolk of the entire town of Potter punch him twice?" Speaking of this, Bandy almost didn't catch his breath, but fortunately, the paladin behind him helped pat the halfling on the back, which helped him to ease his strength, "This damn guy, huh, huh...... Hurry up and answer me! ”
"Nansen? Who is he. ”
"I don't know, I've never heard that name."
Everyone knew Bandy because of the best craftsmanship in the whole town of Potter, but Nansen was a name that no one had ever heard of.
"Don't worry, Bandy," Ryan said with a smile, "I can tell you that Nansen's entire face is so punched that even the closest to him won't recognize him when they see him." ”
"Really?" Bandy let out a long breath and sat down on the ground, "Then I'll be relieved." ”
"I say, Bandy, you've been talking about 'Nansen' and 'Nansen' since just now, but, hell, what is the origin of this guy, it's worth your obsession," one of the tavern guests couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to complain, "What I hate most about you is that you can't speak clearly, and you like to hide it." ”
"He is the culprit responsible for the 'Sava Fishman Invasion', all of what happened in the dock area was done by him, and these three young men sitting together killed him and a series of his mage apprentices and other accomplices, now you are satisfied!" It had been a long time since Bendy felt like he had been—no, never before when he was so angry as he was today, and then looked at Ryan with a sinister smile at him, "Ryan! You...... Forget it, I won't say anything about you. We halflings are a reasonable race, and everything you've done to our Potter town is just right—" said the halfling, making a small slit between his thumb and forefinger, and exhaling, "to make up for your mistakes, just like the one I made in my hand!" ”
"Well, I didn't understand what you meant, but you don't have to ......."
Ryan spread his hands, and before he could say the words "sit on the ground", the tavern, which had been just a little noisy, suddenly became boiling.
Everyone in the audience loved the small town of Potter deeply, so when they heard that the Sawa Fishman incident was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster, they couldn't help but angrily scolded Nansen, and at the same time expressed their gratitude to Ann and Lane and their party for helping them breathe a bad breath.
"Feeling a little regretful?"
Ryan asked.
"Regret what?"
Althea asked rhetorically.
"You did your part," Ryan shrugged, "but the people here cheered more about Ann's name." ”
"Maybe it's because the drinkers here often watch Ann's games, so I know her better," Althea said softly, "Ryan, Nansen was wrong at the time, right?" ”
[The destruction and destruction caused by 'magic' and 'knowledge' are not important, but to show the ignorant people its power to 'change' and 'create' everything, and that is the purpose of their existence?] No, Nansen, you will never be a great mage. ]
[It is true that I am far inferior to you now, but I will definitely become stronger than you in the future.] ]
[Why?] Because you're wrong, Nansen. ]
"Yes, it's wrong." Ryan nodded quietly and took a sip from the juice glass.
"Really?"
Althea leaned over and looked into Ryan's eyes through her round-rimmed glasses.
"Of course it's true," Ryan laughed a little and poked Althea on the forehead with his fingers together, "Okay, let's get something to eat, I have to say, the barbecue in this tavern is still to my taste." ”
"That's right."
Althea didn't pay any attention to Ryan's actions, but grinned happily and went back to eat her skewer of roasted tomatoes.
It seems that she already has the potential to become a legendary mage...... Ryan thought to himself.
The career path of a mage is always difficult, and if you want to become a good mage, in addition to the necessary knowledge and talent, that belief in your heart is also essential.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a new guest in the tavern, who had injured his arm and looked very embarrassed.
"Gülen, why are you here?"
Ryan couldn't help but stand up in surprise and said.
"I killed a Sawa Fishman," Glenn shouted, then came up to Ryan and said excitedly, "Brother Ryan, Sister Athea, I also killed a Sawa Fishman when the Sawa Fishman came ashore just now!" ”
Ryan beckoned Glenn to sit down, "How do you feel?" ”
"Well...... Glenn scratched his head embarrassedly, "Although the wound is still faintly painful now, maybe it won't get better in this life, but it feels very happy!" ”
"Crow's beak," Althea raised an eyebrow at Gülen, "don't worry, it's just a skin wound, it's going to be fine." ”
Ryan took the initiative to pour Gülen a glass of wine and pushed it in front of him, "Well done, Gülen." ”
