Chapter 63: The Tavernkeeper

The tavern owner came over with a flask and poured wine for Menes, "My lord, you want to save us, this group of strange beasts has been gathering here for a while, we are all ready to escape, we know that you are coming, we have been here to persevere, without you our small shop will be over!"

"How do you know I'm coming, how do you know I can beat these beasts?" Menes asked.

"Hey, my lord, my little shop is the most important gathering point in this area of the Death Desert, but the first stop for hunters who come out of the fortress of the gods is bound to come here, and the patrol riders of the Nine Gods Legion also come often, and the news that you are going to find the city of the dead has already spread here. ”

"Besides, my lord, you are now a hot figure in the Kemert Kingdom, who doesn't know the king of mummies?Your hunting of human-faced scorpions has long been spread all over the Death Desert, and the Nine Gods Legion will rely on you, if you can't destroy such a handful of undead beasts, then who has the ability?" the tavern owner praised.

Heron's eyebrows rose slightly and said, "Pendulby, how is it that according to you, without Lord Menes, this desert would not be able to live?

"Hi...... I'm damned, I'm damned, isn't this tavern covered by the Nine Gods Legion all these years, thank you Chief, Chief Heron is also brave and fearless, the Nine Gods Legion bless the desert!" the boss hurriedly apologized.

"Then why didn't you report such important news?

"This ...... I also just got the news not long ago, I don't believe you ask Felix, we also know recently that the Nine God Legion has suffered a lot of losses for the peace of the desert, and I don't want to cause trouble to the legion. Penduby explained.

"Hunting undead beasts is the duty of our Nine Gods Legion, there is no trouble or trouble, next time there is news, we must report it in time, understand?" Heron said.

Felix had almost eaten before he said again, "Captain Heron, you can leave us some meat to eat, finally there is such a large piece of meat, the legions have eaten it, what are we eating?"

"Can you eat? Just pick up some spills. ”

"Yes, the Nine Gods Legion, aren't we here to pick up the leaks, let's pick up the bones left by Lord Menes and gnaw them. Felix threw the bones on the table.

The Nine Gods Legion is the one in charge of order here, and there are patrol cavalry hunting alien beasts in the desert all year round, but not all people are willing to join the Nine Gods Legion, wandering hunters like to live an unrestrained life, so they have been wandering in the desert for a long time by hunting alien beasts in exchange for money.

This is also a good thing for the Nine Gods Legion, after all, there are many lone beasts in the desert, and the legion can't kill them, so it's good to leave the hunters to eat.

There are a lot of undead beasts this time, if it weren't for Menes' arrival, Felix's group would only have to inform the Nine Gods Legion, then they probably wouldn't have any meat to eat.

Menes is not a member of the Legion, so naturally there is no need to hand over the prey to the Legion, and everyone can share the money.

Menes listened to Felix while drinking, there is no problem in hunting strange beasts, and with Felix's group of people, he will lose a little less, as for the money he earns, Menes didn't pay attention to it, but is the news accurate?

"The news is absolutely accurate, the number of alien beasts is not large at present, and they are still gathering, which is just right for us to hunt, with your mummy participating, it is effortless. Pendubi affirmed.

"Okay, tomorrow we will send someone to investigate the news with you, and we will sign up tomorrow if we are willing to join us, and we will divide the money according to the old rules. Heron was the first to nod.

When everyone heard that Menes was willing to hunt the undead beasts, and divided the money according to the old rules, they all got up to toast Menes.

After drinking and meat, everyone went to rest.

The next morning, Heron and Felix went to the Aba Gongya Arch Rock area to find out the news, Menes stayed in the tavern to collect the hunters who volunteered to sign up, and with Menes joining, everyone was in high spirits and signed up, and this time more than thirty people were gathered.

The tavern owner eagerly helped Menes, and even provided some supplies for free, saying that he was helping Menes hunt strange beasts.

Another day later, Herun returned to the tavern, and happily said that there were indeed undead beasts in the Gongyan area, and the number of less than a hundred was basically a first-level or second-level undead beast, and the so-called sixth-level beast was the winged locust with a little intelligence, so there was no need to be afraid.

When Jett heard this, he suddenly said, "Is it just such a strange beast? Felix is too careful? Give us such a piece of meat? They should be able to deal with these mourners, right?"

Heron was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems that too, this group of people can barely cope with it, but it is estimated that they are still afraid of death, after all, it is a bit difficult for more than thirty hunters to deal with this group of strange beasts and not to kill a few people." ”

Menes rolled her eyes and said, "I guess I'm afraid of death, I'll go find Gu A, this old man's healing ability is good, you have to take care of it." ”

Now that the news was confirmed, Menes began to arrange for everyone to prepare to set off tomorrow to hunt the undead, the tavern owner was happy to offer free drinks in the evening, a group of hunters drank without scruples, drunk and fought in the hall, the boss simply sat upstairs and watched the excitement, and the last group of people lay on the ground to sleep.

Herron also drank a lot of ale wine, and ran out to the toilet at night drunk.

There is a urinal in the room, but most people think it smells in the room, so they are more willing to pee in the yard.

On a desert night, the stars were shining, a Milky Way stretched across the sky, the moon shone on the earth, Heron finished urinating happily, staggered back, drank too much wine and didn't know the way, and broke into the tavern kitchen.

As soon as he entered the door, he bumped into the boss talking to Abi, and when he saw Heron coming in, he hurriedly stopped talking and greeted him.

"Yo, sir, where are you going?" the boss, Penduby, saw that Herron was staggering and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"I'm going to ...... Return...... Go back to your room...... Go to bed. "Herron was a bit incoherent.

"This is the kitchen, you are in the wrong place, I will take you back. After saying that, he helped Heron and left.

Heron took two steps and slipped and fell to the ground, and took Pendulby to the ground, and Pendulby fell heavily and a bronze buckle on his body fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Heron lay on the ground, picked up the clasp, looked at it, and said, "Huh, isn't this the armor buckle of the Garble Legion?"

Pendulby hurriedly snatched it over and said, "Where, where, this is an ordinary buckle of the Legion, I bought it in the fortress, ordinary things, ordinary things." ”

The drunk man was particularly heavy, and Pendulby was relatively short in stature, and he couldn't carry Heron, and he opened his mouth and said, "Abi is here to help, send Chief Heron back to the room." ”

Abi then walked over and reluctantly picked up Heron and walked to the room.

The morning sun warmly caressed Gu A's black and thin face, and a little bird flew in and landed on Gu A's rough hand, Gu A smiled and fed the bird with bread.

Menes sat on the edge of the table, eating bread and drinking the stinking goat's milk, and couldn't help frowning.

"How's that, Gua, is your little bird reliable?" asked Menes.

"Animals don't lie, people do!"

Menes smiled and said, "This group of guys is so undisciplined, the free cat urine is really exciting, one by one like mud, how can you hunt the undead?"

"The undead hunter is unreliable, but the Nine Legions are useful. Gu A said quietly.

"Well, that's right, then I'll arrange for someone to return to the fortress, the solo horseback action is relatively fast, I hope to come in a hurry. Menes frowned and drank the goat's milk, put down the cup and walked out of the room.

Menes stood on the edge of the railing on the second floor and watched Pendulby busy, smiled and shouted loudly, "You bunch of mud, you guys are fighting like this, thank God if you don't get eaten by wild beasts, today's action is canceled, you bunch of garbage have a good rest, quit drinking today and tomorrow, no one is allowed to drink!"

"Ah, my lord, this can't be done, the later the beast is gathering, the stronger the beast becomes, we can't wait. Penduby stood in the middle of the hall and looked up at Menes, and said anxiously.

"You see how they hunt strange beasts like this, let's rest first, then a little strange beast is not enough to trouble. ”

"My lord, these guys are all old drunkards, and besides, it takes a day to get to the Arch Rock area, and when they get to that place, these guys are also drunk, and they are out of the way!" Penduby continued.

"Don't get in the way, why don't you help them go with you, and you'll be in charge of hunting the beasts you encounter?" Menes said angrily.

"This ...... How can I do it, I don't have that ability, you have a mummy, adult, don't be afraid of one or two little monsters!"

"Fart!, my mummy is a powerful warrior, not a special servant, and has no interest in taking care of these scum!" Menes scolded.

"That's it, don't drink to anyone for the next two days!" Menes said, turning back to her room and ignoring Pendulby.

Penduby kicked the drunkard on the ground a few times, and walked away, and soon the proprietress rushed in with a broom to wake up the mud on the ground.

Menes said that he was not acting today, in fact, he had not left for three days, and he did not see anyone in his room, and Penduby anxiously asked the reason, and Heron said that Lord Menes was sick and wanted to rest for a few days.

Sick? It's not the right time, what if the beasts gather stronger? The hunters are also anxious and depressed, Menes actually asks the boss not to provide ale, this is to everyone's life!

Felix roared angrily in the hall, saying that he couldn't wait, or he would take someone to kill the beast or give him a drink?

Pendubi had no choice but to come forward to appease everyone, so that everyone could wait for Menes to recover, so that everyone was not so easy to talk to, and they asked for money for staying in a hotel, so they didn't go to kill strange beasts and squat here to spend money?

In the end, the boss actually promised everyone to reduce the room fee and provide a small amount of alcohol, which barely appeased everyone.

Six days have passed in a blink of an eye, Menes is still standing still, hiding in the room, and Penduby is not in a hurry, and will no longer give everyone a reduction in room money, you can leave if you want.

A group of hunters have nothing to do downstairs every day, saying that they want to leave, but in fact, no one moves their butts, they are all here to hunt strange beasts, and they still have to go sooner or later, not to mention that there are sandstorms in the past few days, so staying in the tavern is the best choice.

In the dead of night, everyone went to bed, and suddenly there was a sharp knock on the door in the hall downstairs, and Penduby scolded and walked down the stairs to open the door.

Who the hell is this? Come here at night?
