The owner of the Iron and Flame Tavern was in a bad mood as the weather had been gloomy outside for more than a dozen days.

Although his current stature looks so similar to the thick and heavy barrel behind the counter, more than ten years ago, his movements were as agile as an eagle's eagle, and even now he can easily lift a heavy oak barrel weighing one hundred and fifty pounds with one hand, and when he was at his peak, he was really as hard and furious as steel and flame, at that time, as a bronze warrior, he also had a great reputation in several surrounding cities, and it was also with some connections accumulated at that time and too much combat power that was not consumed by the spirits and aromatic stews before he successfully established himself in the Black Moon SwampAfter all, compared to the shallow strength and experience of those mercenaries who came here to take risks, the magic materials produced in it are a little richer, and it is easy to attract the attention of some mercenary groups or chambers of commerce who are not up or down, impatient and impatient to bother with these time-consuming tasks and are greedy for the benefits behind them.

But that's not going to be for sure.

The tavern owner took out his favorite silver cup the size of a boy's or girl's head from behind him, and lazily wiped the dirt with a cotton cloth while looking at the guests gathered in the tavern seemingly nonchalantly.

Compared to before, the tavern was not sparsely populated, and even more densely populated due to the weather. But rather than the excitement of raising a glass and talking loudly about the harvest, there is more uneasiness and apprehension in the air today.

The tavern owner knew what they were worried about.

Although the mercenaries are living a precarious life, those who choose to come to the Black Moon Swamp are either not strong enough to contact higher missions, or simply come for the relatively safe environment here, people come and go, and in the long run, even if they haven't dealt with each other much, they still have an impression of most of the guys who make a living here.

These days, many familiar faces have disappeared, and even the dullest head of the mercenary can feel the undercurrent surging under the Black Moon Swamp, and there is an indescribable threat creeping around him.

"I don't know what level the mercenary union will transfer this task to, and who will be sent to solve this task?"

Based on the rich experience of the past, the tavern master quickly came to the conclusion that most of them were a silver beginner leading three or four bronze middle and high-level spellcasters, thieves, and warriors, and there was no obvious weakness in the composition of such an adventurous team.

After all, no matter how cunning the beast is, no matter how good it is, it cannot compare to the wisdom and experience of human beings.

The tavern owner didn't expect that he had guessed half right, and the half that was wrong was far beyond his imagination.

"Stay here tonight. Pointing to the weapon pattern on the signboard side by side with the huge wine glass, Adam showed a satisfied expression, turned back to teach Chen Fusheng and his party the experience, "This kind of signboard represents that this tavern mainly caters to adventurers, which is just right for us, and according to the news we just inquired about, this steel and flame have the most prosperous and stable business among these taverns and inns, either the master's strength is strong enough to suppress the troublemakers, or there is some force behind it to rely on, or both." ”

Chen Fusheng nodded, the function of the tavern is particularly complicated, in addition to providing food, wine and accommodation, it also often has dealings with some prostitutes to meet the desires of those mercenaries who are mentally tense all day long, and even many times the maids inside directly serve as these, and from time to time some bards come here, it can be said that it is a collection of restaurants, canteens, inns and green buildings in one, so it is naturally easier to find out the news needed.

The fishy, humid air poured into the tavern as the wooden door opened, causing a not-so-pleasant scolding, and the tavern owner put down his glass and greeted the six guests who seemed to shine the humble tavern with his gaze.

As an excellent mercenary and a tavern master who deals with all kinds of people, his eyesight is far from being comparable to that of other uninformed guests, and it is natural to see that these guests are unusual, although they are dressed like ordinary adventurers, shirts, leggings, light leather armor and close-fitting jackets can ensure their convenience to the greatest extent, but unlike the tavern in the tavern, whose clothes are rarely taken care of, the clothes of this group cannot be described simply as clean, but from the fabric to the cutting and sewing, there is a delicate and even noble luxury, not to mention the seemingly expensive gemstone decorations above。

Of course, because of the mercenary's previous identity and the relationship between dealing with adventurers all the time, the tavern owner is more concerned about the strength of these people.

Because of the induction of the same kind, the tavern owner first noticed the middle-aged man, polite, elegant and detached, but no one would be confused with a real nobleman.

"Is it a housekeeper?"

The tavern owner looked at the other party's posture of protecting the girl in front of him from a distance not far away, and he first felt the sharp temperament of the wind and rain sword that the other party vaguely revealed, which was consistent with himself, but far better than himself.

Looking at the girl who followed the other party, the tavern owner couldn't help but scold, the pressure on him from the other party was much stronger than that middle-aged man who had obviously experienced countless trials of life and death, at her feet was an obedient and abnormal tiger, but as soon as he met the eyes of this tiger with a pair of copper bells and big eyes, the tavern owner panicked for no reason, and felt more nervous than when he participated in the extermination of a white-backed violent bear as a mercenary, this kind of person still needs protection.

Subconsciously took his eyes off the woman with the gun, this time the tavern owner's eyes were attracted by another girl next to her, the tavern owner didn't feel any pressure on her, but as soon as he saw the cloak of different lengths from other people on the other party's body and a short staff with the thickness of a thumb in his hand, the tavern owner immediately understood that the other party was a rare magician, before becoming a powerhouse of the golden rank or even the legendary awakening origin, if other origins were not considered, the status of the magician generally had to be improved by one or two levels according to his own rank, even soMany mercenary groups, which are already not small, cannot attract a real mage to join, which is undoubtedly too luxurious for an adventure team of only six people.

As for how the other party managed to make the crowd drunk under the effect of the ale take the initiative to give way without any other action, the tavern owner could not see it at all, and could only attribute it to some unknown spell cast by the magician.

"Set up an empty table for us and bring up a glass of fruit wine for each person. Adam quickened his pace and walked to the bar, unable to see how to move, a golden arc followed six silver coins jumping up on the smooth bar and falling into the hands of the tavern owner, glancing at most of the wine glasses with obvious black dirt behind him, Adam frowned, his voice sank, and solemnly reminded, "The cutlery must be the cleanest kind." ”

"Six glasses of wine don't cost that much money in our place. Skillfully putting away the six silver coins, the tavern owner leaned down with great difficulty and pulled out a sealed box from the bottom of the wine rack behind him, took six obviously unopened wine glasses, lined them up on the bar, poured an orange-red liquid full of them, snapped his fingers, motioned for the maid to pick up and walk back, and pushed the gold coins towards Adam, not forgetting to tell a bartender to take his place.

With the identity and strength of the other party, it is natural that they should be treated preferentially.

The tavern owner had a bit of an eye. Chen Fusheng let out his divine thoughts and felt the chaotic and complicated thoughts in the hall, and suddenly smiled, "It seems that there are other people who are also interested in the Black Moon Swamp." ”

"Uncle Tiger, I'm going to introduce you to a few people. ”

The wooden door opened at a much more drastic amplitude than when Chen Fusheng and the others entered, and the sound infused with a strong fighting spirit easily suppressed the noise in the tavern, and a team of the same number as Chen Fusheng and his party appeared.

"Demon, you didn't practice martial arts with your father in your White Bear Mercenary Group, why did you have time to come to your uncle's place, didn't you say before that there was no meaning here?"

Stopping his body, which had already turned around for half a circle, the tavern owner sighed, looked at the young man who was pushing the drinker towards him, and helplessly made an apologetic expression to Chen Fusheng and the others, and asked in a loud voice.

The reason why the tavern owner chose to end his career as a mercenary was because he was tired of this precarious life, and because he could no longer see any hope of improving his strength, and there was no point in continuing to fight.

However, this young man's father, the former companion of the tavern owner, after he withdrew, he benefited after completing a big task, successfully advanced to silver, and even joined the White Bear Mercenary Group, which is in the forefront of the Holy Alliance, and has been working hard for more than ten years, although his strength has not improved much, but he has really gained a firm foothold in the White Bear Mercenary Group, and Demon's father is also a very important network of the tavern owner.

Glancing at Claudia silently, Chen Fusheng followed her line of sight and looked to the other side, he had already sensed that there were a few outside whose strength was far superior to that of the adventurers in the tavern, and even weaker than Adam and Vinika, but the strength of these people was not in his eyes, so he didn't care too much.

Originally, Claudia was the same, but when she glanced at it, her body shook imperceptibly, and even the aura on her body was no longer as uniform as usual.

Chen Fusheng knew that Claudia had the memory of two lives, had experienced countless battles, and her heart was very tenacious, and it was impossible for her to be able to shake her.

"This ......"

Chen Fusheng soon discovered the source that attracted Claudia's strangeness, it was also a badge, the young man who was called Demont by the owner of the tavern was wearing it on his chest, and it was naturally impossible to have the same divine power fluctuations as the two pieces that Chen Fusheng obtained, and the interesting thing was the pattern on it.

The main body of the badge is a big bear that looks up to the sky and roars, but the bear's body is round like a ball, which has a little relationship with the mighty hero, but it makes people feel cute.

The most peculiar thing is the color of this bear.

According to the tavern owner's words, it is not difficult to deduce that this badge should be the team badge of the so-called White Bear Mercenary Group, but the bear hair on it is not pure white, but white and black, which looks extremely strange.

But this kind of bear Chen Fusheng is known, not only knowing, but even very familiar, he was born in Jiannan Road has 10,000 acres of bamboo sea, which lives this strange creature, although it belongs to the bear class, but compared to blood food, more bamboo shoots and bamboo leaves for a living, it is said that this bear is the so-called iron-eating beast in ancient times, once selected as a mount by the ancestors.

Because this kind of bear is too rare and strange, although the pattern on the badge is a little deformed, Chen Fusheng still recognizes it at a glance.

However, he never thought that he would see this kind of creature again in this world, you must know that there are differences in the vitality of heaven and earth in the two worlds, even if there are cattle, sheep, fish and shrimp in both worlds, there are actually many differences that are not one, and if there is really such a strange creature in this world, it is impossible for the creatures he has read from Vinica not to be recorded.

Not to mention that he didn't even see the bamboo on it.

Judging from the images flashing in Claudia's mind, the other party seems to have experienced the world he came from, and it is not surprising to know the existence of this iron-eating beast, but how did the so-called White Bear Mercenary Group choose this creature as the symbol of its mercenary group.

It can't be that the other party is the reborn person who awakened Claudia by casting a spell in the air that Chen Fusheng felt that day.

Claudia was much more certain than Chen Fusheng, and before she became a contractor, this bear could almost be said to be the most popular animal in the entire world.

Therefore, after being selected by the reincarnation space, there are many contractors who choose enhancement routes such as summoners, beast trainers, and druids who have the heart to keep such a pet.

It's a pity that there are very few missions for this kind of bear to survive, and there are very few contractors who are lucky enough to enter, let alone contract pets. Even if there is occasional success, although this kind of bear itself is not weak, most of the mission world levels with this creature belong to low-level worlds, and it is too difficult to strengthen it.

The Norland continent is a standard Western fantasy world, in which someone actually depicts this kind of creature called a panda, except for the reborn, Claudia can't guess the second possibility.

"Hey, Uncle Tiger, these are ......"

It was easy to squeeze in front of the tavern owner, and the young man was attracted by Chen Fusheng and the others at a glance, after all, it seemed that these few people and the other drinkers looked like they were from two worlds.

Of course, the other party's eyes were mainly focused on Ao Li and Claudia, and in his heart, he quickly compared with the women in his team.

"Humph!"

Worried that the hot gaze of his nephew would cause Chen Fusheng and his party to be unhappy, the tavern owner snorted, took a few steps forward, his body skillfully blocked the young man's sight, and said with a hearty smile: "Demeng, didn't you say that you want to introduce your companion to me, why don't you let your uncle open his eyes?"
