9 Negotiations
The next morning, Penny came along, cleaned up a little, and went straight to Hiccol's room.
He asked Damon, knowing that this room was on the innermost part of the second floor, a corner that was not very bright, and generally people who love this kind of place are a bit withdrawn and stubborn, and Penny mustered enough strength to deal with this difficult character, and when he was about to knock at the main door, he heard a soft sobbing coming from the crack in the door.
Penny's fingers stopped in mid-air, closed his eyes, and sensed that a figure inside was kneeling on the bed and praying against the wall, he opened his eyes and stopped this subterfuge of voyeurism with superpowers, and decided to stand in the door and wait for a while before knocking on the door and walking in.
"I just heard someone's footsteps stop at my bedroom door for a long time, you sneaky little man!" a pair of bloodshot eyes glared at Penny.
Penny Sian's eyes averted from a portrait that he had just sensed that it was the object of the maiden's visit, and that it was not the appearance of a god, but a man in red and a short woman, with a line of 'Celine' signed in Sertu on it, and the handwriting was actually seven or eight points similar to the plaque outside.
This discovery made him smell the smell of eight o'clock in the evening, but art comes from life is higher than life, and the art of fast food is the same, but the level is not accurate, Penny used to enjoy it, so he has a set of ideas:
"I'm not interested in your business. He said indifferently, "I just want this tavern to make money." ”
"Money, did he start asking for money besides magic and power?" Schicole scoffed.
"Perhaps, but not what he needs, but what I need. Penny said.
"Oh?" Hickel was a little surprised.
"I have just left the ranks of the Red Robe Apprentices, and in return, I need to work for my husband and must prove my worth. As Penny said this, he suddenly saw that Hiccol's expression, which was originally full of mockery and impatience, became fussed:
"I heard you right, oh, Lady Waukin, what did you just say? Out of the ranks of the red-robed mages, ha, are you a Ser or not?"
"Blood-wise. Penny didn't deny it, and at the same time he knew that the girl in front of him was actually his 'parishioner', and he didn't know how to react for a while.
"Ha, you're such a freak. Siccol's expression was still not good, but it changed from 'mockery' to 'banter': "Very good, I don't want to be a red-robed Serre." ”
"Miss, do you think that the Searles must all be red-robed?"
"Shouldn't you soak in the corpses and the blood, and wrestle with the red-robed dead bald heads, lick the pus from the ghoul ditch every day, and have nothing in your eyes except power and power?" Hiccol screamed, his eyes reddening again, and his emotions were clearly out of control.
"Not everybody likes those things. Penny's voice was not salty or light, and this tone was very effective in getting angry people to turn off the fire, and Hiccol gasped as Penny continued: "All kinds of people have different needs, and even if they can't be autonomous, I want to be able to live in a place where I feel comfortable." ”
"Oh, tell me, what do you want to do?" Hickel's eyes changed for a while, and her breath calmed a little, but now she looked at Penny's gaze, but there was much less hostility, at least less of that saber-rattling fierceness, more like a suitable negotiator.
"Again, I hope the tavern will make some money," Penny repeated, and this time it seemed that Sheckel was able to listen, and continued, "at least it will improve my life and your life." ”
The tavern was very shabby, and the clothes on Siccole's body were relatively shabby, and although the style was good, the materials were very inferior at first glance, and the style of life of Lenge Jan Huashi seemed to be simple in the red robe.
Seeing that Hickor was silent, obviously thinking that such an improvement in life might be improved to the head of someone she didn't like, Penny pondered for a moment and continued: "Everyone yearns for a happy life, the same is for me, and I think the same is true for you, although I don't care about your affairs, but I don't think it's appropriate to let others suffer because of your own pain, what's more, miss, do you think that Mr. Zhan Huashi will really suffer because of your behavior, miss?"
Even if the red-robed mage has no additional business income, the property he gets from the organization is enough to live, but it is not very rich, and it doesn't matter much whether the tavern can make a lot of money or barely maintain it.
And when Penny met Seacol, he understood why James allowed such an incorrigible tavern to support for ten years, but he didn't think that the eldest lady could understand this piece of thought, nor did he think that he had the ability to persuade this young lady to understand, let alone that he had the obligation to incarnate his confidant brother to solve this unfathomable estrangement, after all, he was just a working boy who had turned from a hard labor apprentice to a regular worker, so in order to save trouble, there was a misleading message in his words that was not good: Do you think you are so miserable, your father will really take it seriously?
As we all know, red-robed mages are emotionally apathetic creatures.
So wake up, it's better to run the tavern well and make some money to make yourself more comfortable.
Hiccol's expression changed several times, and finally became a little depressed, she waved her hand, as if she was tired of it to the point of weakness: "Come on, don't move the sign at the door, the others (take a deep breath)...... The rest is up to you. ”
Then he staggered down on the bed, pulled on a somewhat dirty quilt, covered half of his face, and his pale blonde hair was scattered on the bed, looking very delicate.
Negotiated and approved.
Penny breathed a sigh of relief. Walking out of the door, old Damon stood at the top of the stairs, and was shocked to see Penny walk out with a relaxed face.
"Go find a carpenter, make a new signboard, and make a sign by the way, like that...... So, then hang on top of the original one, well, go to the carpentry shop to make a batch of sofa chairs, and then go to the tanning workshop to make some cushions...... Forget it, it's okay to use cloth, about how long, well, in this way, change the signboard first, and then change the chair after a while. ”
Old Damon and the two bartenders saw that Penny was able to talk about their eldest lady, and their attitudes suddenly changed, and they became very awe-inspired, this is something that no one has done before, of course, Ling Wu obeyed, and went to do things one after another.
Penny sat in the doorway, waited until the afternoon, and saw the 'Goodbye, Gnoll' sign next to the tavern hanging on top of the old plaque, and at the same time got a surprise, the bartender who had been scared away by a panic trick yesterday had sneaked back to retrieve what had fallen back in the bar, how could Penny let him run?
"Kind young master, please spare me. The bartender had a bitter face, yesterday he had been frightened by old Zhan Huashi, and today he rushed back, and he had already beaten twelve points of courage, where did he dare to stay here.
"You know what the identity of the gentleman is. Penny asked rhetorically.
The bartender nodded, the red robe, the bald head, the tattoo, in Serre, and even the entire Desperate Eastern Regions, the fool didn't know.
"Then you must know the power of the gentleman in this land, and now that I am in charge of this tavern, then in this tavern, my words represent his will, if you disobey a red-robed ......" Penny smiled wickedly.
"I understand, young master, I understand. The bartender cried and went to the bar.
Penny snapped his fingers with ease.
Passed the intimidation test.
It's all there, as a tavern, although the mage stool is not very comfortable to sit on, but the selling point is wine, and this problem takes a certain amount of time, and now the more important thing is that it is an attractive enough gimmick.
The new sign is actually good, 'Goodbye, Gnoll' can remind people of the past, and then compare it with the present, it will give rise to interest, but the current bar, the attraction is obviously not enough, the contrast is not highlighted, and something else needs to be added......
Penny looked around for possible inspiration, and suddenly his eyes swept out of the window, and for a moment, he saw a woman on the side of the street looking at the new sign of the bar.
This beauty is in her twenties, tall, the corners of her mouth are sweet and attractive, and the exposed tender white neck can't help but make people want to take a bite, her eyes continue to sweep down to her chest and thighs, Penny swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and found that her little brother had a faint tendency to rise, and a thought immediately entered his mind.
So he ran out of the tavern, put on the most innocent and lovely smile that a fourteen-year-old boy could make, and pulled the corner of the beauty's skirt: "Sister, sister, can you do me a favor?"
"Oh?" the beautiful woman looked at the little child who had gone crazy on the street yesterday with great interest, and suddenly became interested: "What a cute little brother, what do you want my sister to help you with?"
Penny secretly laughed in his heart that the fish took the bait, but the expression on his face was more pure: "Then it's decided, I'll pay my sister Belen, just half a day." ”
"Come, let's talk about it. "Beauty seems to be more interested.
Passed the bluff test...... Perhaps.
