Chapter 219: The Tavern (Part II)

In the last few mornings, Kylelius has come here to solve the problem of breakfast.

Although drinking alcohol for breakfast is really not a recommended option.

But in the days since Lycia's death, Kyleus' sorrows and anguish need to be vented.

Aside from venting at the two nuns at night, alcohol was the best option for Kylelius during the day.

Kylelius came here every morning to drink, not to get drunk, and no amount of alcoholic beverages could make Kylelius drunk now. He came to drink these alcoholic beverages purely to feel the stimulation of his taste buds.

Only these strong stimuli can make Kylelius temporarily forget the regret and self-blame in his heart for not protecting Lycia.

After listening to Kyleus's request, Clenon did not have any surprised expression at all, obviously he had already guessed Kyleus's request.

"Yes, as you command. So saying, he turned and took out a glass and a bottle full of Walter wine, poured a glass for Kyllius, and then turned and went to the kitchen to prepare the steak.

Kellius glanced at Clenon, who was leaving, and then began to stare at the glass in his hand, feeling the quiet atmosphere of this tavern that Kellius liked so much, which was one of the important reasons why Kellius liked to come here.

Because of the business philosophy, there is no group of adventurers here at any time who would be vulgar and rude in the eyes of Kyleus. So there is no noise and noise that lasts from morning till night in the other taverns of Banji.

In the opinion of Kyerlius as a magician. A quiet environment always comes first, and magicians also like to be in a quiet, non-distracting environment, which is very important and meaningful for magicians.

Only a quiet environment can give magicians the concentration necessary to study magic. When studying magic and exercising magic circuits, the magician's concentration is usually the most important factor in determining the effectiveness of the exercise.

Just as Kylelius closed his eyes slightly, enjoying a rare and peaceful leisure, a voice reached Kyleus's ears and pulled him out of his own world. Back to reality.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency. It really doesn't matter if you come here so early to drink such strong wine every time?" a sturdy middle-aged man who looked to be more than 1.8 meters tall.

His piercing eyes shone with a glint that made ordinary people's hearts palpitate, and a few scars on his face made his image even more sturdy, standing straight like a militiaman's posture and wearing a neat garrison officer's uniform. Let people know immediately that this is an officer of the garrison.

This man was known to Kyrlius. His name was Bent. Previously a retired officer of the Border Forces. He was a local whom Kyrlius had met while drinking at this tavern for the past six months.

In the eyes of Kellius, he was a good soldier, who was not fit for a peaceful and unchallenged life. So in the upper echelons of the garrison was purged. And when he was in dire need of a replenishment of officers, Kellius recommended him to the Count, along with a number of other men who were also retired officers, to go to the garrison.

Because of Sir Sissoko's problems, a large number of officers of the city defense team were implicated, some of them were really problematic, and some of them were simply unlucky, so suddenly there were many positions for officers.

Kellius recommended Bent and the other veteran officers to join the garrison, and without anyone's hindrance, with the unanimous consent of Rick, Fisher, and Earl Dag, Kellius's recommended personnel entered the garrison very smoothly.

After all, although the establishment of the city defense team is formal, but as a symbolic meaning far greater than the actual ability, most of them are militia organizations, and their actual combat effectiveness and influence are not large, the three of them and some other powerful nobles do not look down on here, they just put some eyeliner here as before.

So there was nothing wrong with Kylelius's proposal in the eyes of most people, and a six-ring magician needed a few low-ranking officers of the militia force to make it impossible for anyone to find a reason to refute it.

And because of the combat effectiveness, the kingdom does not care much about the composition of these troops, and some veteran officers are in it, which is also a good thing for the kingdom, and retired soldiers serving as officers are conducive to consolidating the rule and maintaining stability. Anyway, they will not be used in the war, and it will be regarded as solving the problem of the unemployed and developing reserve military service.

Kellius came back to his senses when he heard this, turned to look at Bent, smiled and said, "It's you, Bent." How are you doing in the garrison, have you adapted to your new position? But now it should be working hours, is it really okay for you to be so blatantly lazy to come here for a drink?"

Kylelius asked casually, not really caring at all about the combat effectiveness of the hundreds of militiamen who had no professional training.

Now Banki's garrison is largely incapacitated, as Sissoko and a large number of garrison officers who followed him have been involved in the rebellion and have been killed or captured, and the garrison is searching for their comrades.

Now everyone there is in danger and people are panicking, every soldier and the remaining old officers are always worried that they will be arrested as traitors and comrades, and everyone's life and job are constantly threatened, and under this mentality, their combat effectiveness is naturally impossible to talk about.

He didn't say this with any special intentions, just to find a topic.

And Bent naturally knew that Kylelius was just joking, so he also showed a bright smile and said: "Thanks to you, I'm okay over there, although it's not as urgent as in the army, but it's much more meaningful than having nothing to do at home and doing nothing at home." ”

After a pause, he continued: "And I am not on duty today, so there is no business for me, and I want to come here for a drink with the rare free time." ”

"So what about the training of soldiers, originally because of the Sissoko matter, the combat effectiveness of the garrison has dropped again and again, and now if you don't pay attention to the training of the garrison, the combat effectiveness of the garrison will be gone. Kylelius asked Bent with some confusion. In his opinion, since there is no such thing as patrolling on duty, it is necessary to seize the time to conduct training.

"Your Excellency, you don't know. The guys under my command are either lazy or panicked by the recent purge, and the training has basically passed in the past few days. If you want to train, let's wait until this turmoil has passed, and it is just a waste of time and energy to train now, after all, the personnel of the garrison are only militia, and they cannot use the army's set of coercive measures. Bent said helplessly. (To be continued......)
