Volume 1 Aquaman's Sigh Chapter 23 Invitation
The man who spoke was a young man, estimated to be twenty-three or fourteen years old, and although his appearance was not outstanding, his luxurious clothes and elegant temperament could still show that he must also be a child of a wealthy family. He smiled and motioned for Jenora and the others to come over and sit at the same table. And across from him sat a round fat man, his facial features were distorted and distorted by the fat on his face, and he was holding a braised pig's trotter that had just been half-gnawed in his left hand, and it was hard to imagine that the two of them, who were completely out of tune, were sitting at the same table. The fat man's narrow eyes still glanced at Jenola and his group from time to time, and the word "hum" spat out disdainfully in his mouth.
"You said you could give us two rooms?" said Veggis walked over to the young man, drew his long scythe heavy on his back, slammed it down in front of him, and sat down unceremoniously with his back to the table.
"Yes. The young man replied politely, took out the number plates of the two rooms from his bosom and put them on the table, and gently pushed them in front of Beges, "I see that you have also come from afar, and you are tired of traveling, not to mention that there are young girls here, and it is somewhat inconvenient to stay in the lobby of this inn, so you should make friends." β
"Make friends?" Bergis raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Interesting, since this is the case, my young master Bergis will ...... unceremoniously"
As he spoke, Beges was about to reach for the number plate of the room, but was firmly held down by the pale arm that suddenly burst out.
"Thank you for your kindness, we are not used to indebtedness, and we have nothing of value in return for anything other than money. Genora interrupted Veges stiffly, bowed slightly to the young man, and said frankly what was in his heart, "I don't think Your Excellency is a man who is short of money......
Beges: "......"
"This ......" The young man was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect the visitor to refuse his kindness, and looked at the helpless Bergis rather embarrassed, and when he was still thinking about how to express himself tactfully that he had nothing else to do, an angry voice exploded.
"Bastard, you, what are you?" The fat man's roar was unusually loud, and he felt like his eardrums were hurting, and he slammed the miserable pig's trotters on the table, and his round body jumped up from his seat violently, and then scolded, "It's your honor that my brother wants to be friends with you, do you know who my brother is?"
"Andy, sit down, don't be rude!" the young man frowned, glared at the fat Andy, and then turned around and said slightly apologetically, "I'm really sorry, my brother has been disobedient, and I hope you don't take it to heart." β
"Brother, what are you doing to be polite with them, shameless. Andy was obviously not stopped by the young man, and continued to shout, "Don't think that you are a superior nobleman if you dress decently, my brother is the lord of the city-state, and there is no way for you to change your usual thoughts......"
"Andy, still can't stop talking?" the young man snorted, and a hint of anger flashed in his elegant countenance.
"Hmph, it's just a broken mountain, brother doesn't have to take it to heart, with my mercenary brothers out of the horse, no magical beast can stop us. Andy sat down in a huff, but his expression was still deeply disdainful.
"Into the mountains?" Jenora was stunned for a moment, and then his sharp eyes coldly looked around the lobby of the inn.
In fact, from the time she walked in just now, Jenora noticed that the people in this inn did not look like ordinary merchants, but more like mercenaries and other murderers, even if they deliberately hid their murderous aura, but the kind of aura that can only be bred under long-term killing cannot be easily hidden.
"You're going into the Eldas Mountains?" Jenora said, turning her head back to the elegant young man, her tone adding a hint of indifference.
"I don't hide it from you, I have this plan here. The young man quickly regained his previous politeness and said politely, "Oh yes, I haven't even had time to give my name, that's rude." My name is Dorenmi Glien, and I have inherited the title of Count from my father, and I am the lord of the city of Basqueso. β
Doromie Grian didn't catch the look of surprise in the eyes of the four, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued, "It's no secret among the upper nobles that the meteorite fell into the Eldas Mountains and was found to contain a large amount of magic crystal ore in its mountain. It is rumored that the fall of the meteorite also caused a large number of demonic beasts to be buried here, and the magic crystal ore cannot be mined overnight, so aside from the value of the magic crystal ore, if you are lucky enough to find valuable demonic beast corpses, such as high-level demonic beast corpses, it will be in vain...... Do you dare to guess that the purpose of your visit here is also the Eldas Mountains, since you are on the same road and not on the same path?"
For thousands of years, whether it was the Oslan Empire, or the United Empire of Bhakda, or many small kingdoms before Bhakda was founded, there was no mention of the belonging of the Eldas Mountains, it was a borderless land that existed for tens of thousands of years. Even if it does contain wealth and veins, no country wants to tear open its veil to witness its own speculation, because the cost of tearing its veil itself may outweigh the value of its resources. The fall of a meteorite unexpectedly revealed its secret, and it was rumored that there were a large number of magic crystal veins in the depths of the mountain range, which undoubtedly provoked the dispute between Oslan and Bakda, although the two empires had not yet made a move, but it was heard that the other forces in the two empires were already ready to find out. Count Grian also wants to take advantage of the mountains or the borderlands to see if he can make a windfall, right?" Angela, who was standing behind Amen, said suddenly.
The little girl analyzed it very thoroughly, and she did have such an idea below, the fall of the meteorite is said to have smashed out a crater thousands of meters wide and hundreds of meters deep, and the surrounding radius of five hundred miles was razed to the ground, thinking that this sudden disaster will also make many demonic beasts that have no time to escape buried here, even if the magic crystal vein is not easy to mine in a short period of time, but if you find a few high-level demonic beast corpses, it is also a priceless treasure, not to mention that the demonic beasts that survived the meteorite disaster must also be seriously injured, maybe they can successfully capture a live high-level demonic beastγ Doremmy Glian gushed a little intoxicated.
"I see, it's just that you underestimate those demonic beasts too much, the Eldas Mountains are listed as the highest-level forbidden territory by the empire, and there are so many demonic beasts wandering in it, and the horror of the strength is not at all what you can imagine. It is true that there are many pretentious people who enter the depths of the mountain range under the idea of demonic beasts, but only a handful can come back alive. Jenora slowly raised her eyes and said expressionlessly, "And these mercenaries you brought with you....... It doesn't seem to be that strong. β
"What did you say?" Andy jumped again when he heard Jenora say that the mercenaries here weren't that strong. Although he looked bloated, his body was extremely flexible, and a dodge fell firmly in front of Jenora in an instant, his narrow eyes burst out with a fierce murderous aura, and his fat round right hand quickly grabbed Jenora's neckline, "You are tantamount to provoking everyone present, looking for death!"
It was too late for Doramie Glian to dissuade him, when Andy's big fat hand touched Jenora's collar. At this moment, a cold light full of chill suddenly flashed under Andy's eyes, and his fat hand stiffly stopped in mid-air. Because the crescent-shaped blade was resting squarely on his neck, and the black blade was flowing with a sharp cold light, and the frosty chill was passing from the huge scythe bit by bit. His pupils contracted slightly, but there was no fear in his eyes, but he laughed loudly, "Look brother, these guys can only sneak attack from behind like this, it's not worth mentioning at all!"
"Fool, you should thank me, if I don't make a move, maybe you'll be dead. Beges didn't care about Andy's provocation at all, and said lazily, "Jenora is not easy to mess with, and the most important thing is that you provoke him, and we will all be unlucky with you." β
"Interesting, what you just said was that it would be more appropriate for me to take my anger on you?" Andy slowly placed his hand on the back of the scythe, slowly moving its sharp blade to the side.
"Hey, hey, yes! Young Master Ben is panicking, if you want to fight, fight me, fatty!" Beggess's mouth turned into a disdainful smile, and his clear voice revealed uncontrollable excitement.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Andy's indifferent voice came as he violently pushed the scythe in his hand completely away, twisting his bloated body at the same time, his unusually fat face became more distorted by anger, followed by his sudden right fist, with a full momentum straight at the face of Veggis.
"Come on, come on!"
Beges also shouted wildly at the same time, and the soul power around him quickly vibrate, and the open shirt was drummed by the crazy surging soul power, but the flash in his suddenly constricted pupils was not vigilance but some kind of fanaticism. In the face of the sudden attack, he didn't dodge or dodge, and sneered and took Andy's punch with an angular side face.
"Bang!" Andy's punch landed firmly on the side of Veges's face, but it didn't have the effect Andy expected, instead of knocking the whole person out of the air, he didn't even hear a muffled snort from Veggis, but only slightly moved the side of Veggis's face a few centimeters away.
"How....... What's going on?" Andy froze in shock, his face no longer had the arrogance he had before, and instantly became a little pale and dignified, it was a punch he threw with all his might, even the rock could shatter in response, but he completely hit the man in the face, as if nothing had happened.
"Is that all there is? Completely-completely-no-pained!" Bergis grabbed Andy's arm before he could retract it, slowly breaking it away from his face, turning his head back and lowering his eyes, and said with a smile, "It's my turn this time!"
Andy subconsciously felt bad, but before he could react, Beges's hard forehead quickly hit him, and a feeling of dizziness followed.
