Volume 2 Flying Dragon in the Sky Chapter 86 In the Storm
It is still rare for the chairman to personally award the Adventurer's Medal to someone, and the award is still the lowest level of the Black Iron Medal. For this reason, the identities of Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng have also sparked speculation among people in the Adventurers' Association.
The medal is not big, nor can it be called very elaborate. Two small spears crossed a one-inch shield, which is the shape of the medal and the emblem of the Adventurers' Guild. The medal is made of black iron and has the bearer's name engraved on the back.
"You must keep the medal, it not only symbolizes that you have become a qualified adventurer, but you will need it in the future, whether you want to be a lone ranger or join an adventure party. Also, if you want to move up the rank of the medal in the future, you will need to return the medal to the association. ”
Chi Dao handed over the two medals to Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng respectively, and briefly introduced the purpose of the medals.
Solemnly put away the medal, Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng nodded silently. From now on, they will be one of thousands of adventurers who will embark on a new journey.
"If you want to join the party, we have most of the information about the party here, and I can let Shanshan introduce it to you. ”
When Xiao Shan heard this, his heart moved, and he looked at Chi Dao and said in a low voice: "Chi Lao, is there any information about the 'Grass Worm' adventure group here?"
The matter of mutants has already caused a stir in Daqin, and Chi Dao, as the president of the Fengyun City branch of the Adventurers Association, naturally knows more inside information than ordinary people. The starting point of the mutant scourge was the attack on the exchange group of Fengyun Academy, so Chi Dao probably guessed Xiaoshan's intentions.
Chi Dao shook his head and said, "Since the Iron Venerable Envoy of the Jing Ming Court rushed to the Western Frontier, the 'Grass Worm' adventure group has been removed from the Adventurers Association, and the relevant information has also been blocked. The royal family also issued an order: except for the people of the Jing Ming Court, no information about the 'grass bug' adventure group should be disclosed to anyone. Therefore, I can't help you. ”
Xiaoshan nodded and said, "It's okay, I'm just asking, since I can't find it, forget it." Chi Lao, you may be very busy in a while, so we will leave first. ”
Knowing that Xiao Shan was talking about the fact that Fengyun Academy was going to form an adventure group, as for why Xiao Shan and Shi Changfeng didn't come with the people from Fengyun Academy, Chi Dao didn't ask much, after all, everyone has their own ambitions.
"Shanshan, help me deliver them. ”
Accompanied by Chi Shanshan reluctantly, Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng left the Adventurers' Association.
"Where are we going next?" Shi Changfeng asked.
"Find someone. ”
Xiao Shan took Shi Changfeng directly to the tavern called "Adventurer's Paradise", which was the place where Qi Le'er invited Xiao Shan to dinner. Xiaoshan remembered that Qi Le'er seemed to have a good relationship with the proprietress of this tavern.
Xiaoshan remembers that the last time he visited, the tavern was very lively, and laughter and scolding could be heard from far away, but today the tavern door was closed and unusually quiet.
"This tavern is closed today, so go back where you came from!"
Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng, who walked to the door of the tavern, were suddenly stopped, and they also had a very bad attitude and picked people up on the spot.
"Well, we just wanted to ask the proprietress of this tavern about something. So..."
"I don't care what you're here for! If you get out, you can get out, where is there so much nonsense!"
A few big men at the door saw that Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng had no intention of leaving, and they looked like they were dressed like a rich boy on a trip.
Seeing these people so arrogant, Shi Changfeng was not happy, when did he, Young Master Shi, suffer from this kind of anger, his face immediately became gloomy.
"Do you know who I am? Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
As soon as Shi Changfeng's words were finished, the big men glanced at each other, and then burst out laughing.
"Interesting! Little white face, do you know who we are? Let our brothers kowtow to you? I'm afraid you can't afford it!"
Shi Changfeng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "Then tell me, who are you, I will see if I can afford it." ”
A big man walked up to Shi Changfeng with a cruel smile, pointed to the medal pinned to his clothes, and said to Shi Changfeng: "Open your dog's eyes wide, do you recognize this thing." ”
The medal on the big man's clothes was about the same size as the Adventurer's Medal that Xiao Shan and Shi Changfeng had just gotten today, but the shape and color were different, and his was purple.
After seeing the two words engraved on the front of the medal, Shi Changfeng frowned: "'Qin Feng'?
Now, as you said before, you two kneel down and kowtow to your brother a few times to admit your mistakes, and then roll as far as you want. Otherwise, don't blame the brothers for being unkind to you!"
The captain was running errands in the tavern, and a few of them were arranged to go outside, and when they were bored, they had fun to send themselves to the door, and of course they had to take advantage of the opportunity.
"Is this the kind of virtue that the people of 'Qin Feng' have? Shi Changfeng, you wanted to sharpen your head and drill into it before, but now that you think about it, don't you think it's cheaper to be in the company of this kind of person?"
Just when Shi Changfeng's face was cloudy and uncertain, thinking about what to do, Xiaoshan on the side seized the opportunity to sarcastically mock Shi Changfeng, making Shi Changfeng's face even more ugly.
"Stinky boy, you..."
Bang! Before the big man could say anything, he flew sideways, and after falling far away, he lay motionless on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
After the other few people came back to their senses, they looked at Shi Changfeng who slowly withdrew his fist, and the previous arrogance suddenly dissipated without a trace, and said inwardly: "You still dare to do it knowing that we are 'Qin Feng', stinky boy, don't you want to live anymore!"
"We're going in now, do you have any opinions?" Shi Changfeng glanced at the big men and said.
The people who were swept by Shi Changfeng's eyes unconsciously shrank their necks, there was no way, they only saw Shi Changfeng withdraw his hand just now, and they didn't see how he made a move at all, obviously they were not opponents of the same grade as Shi Changfeng at all.
Several people looked at each other, and finally got out of the way without saying a word. Since they can't clean up these two people, just let the captain in the tavern clean up, and the fool will go to die in vain.
Bang! Shi Changfeng, who was not in a good mood, kicked the door of the tavern open directly, and his action also successfully attracted the attention of the people in the tavern.
"Shi Changfeng, what are you crazy about, why are you kicking the door of someone's tavern!" Xiao Shan complained as he followed Shi Changfeng into the tavern.
There were only five people in the huge tavern, except for the proprietress Wei Qingyi and a bartender, the remaining three people Xiaoshan didn't know.
At this time, the five people in the tavern were all staring at Xiao Shan and Shi Changfeng, the two uninvited guests, although the expressions on their faces were different, but their eyes were full of questions.
"Boss, we meet again, remember me?"
After seeing Wei Qingyi, Xiaoshan greeted him very warmly, and walked over to Wei Qingyi while saying hello.
Without waiting for Wei Qingyi to speak, the man sitting opposite her spoke, "Boss Wei, what do you mean by this?"
At this time, Wei Qingyi was also full of questions, but fortunately, she was not a person who had never seen the world, and she was quite calm. Especially after she recognized Xiaoshan, a smile appeared on her face.
"It's not interesting. He's a friend of mine, and he's just coming over to hang out. ”
Sitting opposite Wei Qingyi was a middle-aged man, the man had a white face and no beard, long and narrow eyes, a wide mouth and thin lips, and the most striking thing was the hooked nose on his mouth. Judging from his face alone, this person is definitely a ruthless character.
Standing behind the white-faced man were also two men, one was tall, dark-skinned, and had a full beard. But his standing posture was very strange, twisting and kneading, like a woman. One hand was pinching the orchid fingers, rubbing the beard on his chin, and glancing at Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng.
The other man was in stark contrast to the beard, short in stature, frighteningly white-skinned, and bald, and when he looked at it, he thought it was a paper figure for memorial service.
"Friend?" Eagle Hook sneered and continued, "What friend lifted the door panel as soon as he came? Boss Wei, these two people shouldn't be the ones you found to demonstrate for me, right? It's just that they're too tender?"
While speaking, Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng had already come to Wei Qingyi and them. Hearing Eagle Hooknose say that he was found by Wei Qingyi to demonstrate for him, Xiaoshan spread his hands and said, "You misunderstood, we are indeed here to visit the door." As for why my friend opened the door panel as soon as he came, it was because he was bitten by a dog when he was outside the door just now, so he hated it in his heart, just to vent, and had no other meaning. ”
Hearing this, Hooknose's face changed, and then he glanced at the beard behind him, and the beard twisted his thick waist and walked towards the door.
After the beard left, the hooked nose began to carefully look at the two young people in front of him, Wei Qingyi did not speak, and the three parties fell into a short silence.
Soon, the beard twisted his thick waist and walked back. was whispered a few words in his ear by the beard, and the hooked nose looked at Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng's eyes immediately changed.
"Knowing who we are, you dare to do it to my people, Boss Wei, the identities of these two friends of yours are not simple!"
Wei Qingyi was stunned when she heard this, although she knew that with Xiaoshan's current name, she shouldn't take these people in her eyes, but she didn't expect Xiaoshan to do it.
"Yes, it's true that the identities of the two of us are not simple. I was a cadet of Fengyun Academy before, and today I just passed the primary test of the Adventurers' Guild. Now, the two of us are also qualified adventurers. Xiaoshan said with a smile.
"People from Fengyun Academy?" Eagle Hook Nose frowned, then he narrowed his narrow eyes, looked at Xiao Shan and said, "I wonder if you can tell me the names of the next two?"
Xiao Shan learned the appearance of a hooked nose, also narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "The surname is not high, and the name is not big." But I think you've heard my name, my name is Ara Chishige. ”
Hearing Xiaoshan's name, the hooked nose's face can be said to have changed and changed. He had heard the name Arachiju before, it was like thunder. The Five Academies defeated Adi Taihua, the son of the Sun in Western Xinjiang, but faced the Ice Phoenix Emperor in the ring of the decisive battle and took the initiative to admit defeat. After the end of the Five Academies Meeting, the most talked about people was this mysterious desolate Qianzhong.
As a captain of the "Qin Feng" adventure group, Eagle Hook Nose even heard that the second prince Emperor Xuankun had promised to give up the position of head to him in order to win over this person, which shows how important Emperor Xuankun regards this person.
Now, Arachiju is standing in front of him, and he has a little unhappiness with his subordinates, not to mention whether he can afford to provoke this person. If the second prince knew that the person he was trying so hard to win over was offended by himself, then he wouldn't have to dismantle himself?
Thinking of this, the cold sweat of the hooked nose came out.
"It's... It's because I have no eyes and I don't recognize my son. Before, it was also my subordinates who looked down on people and offended their son. Please don't take Childe to heart, I'll let them come over and make amends to Childe!"
Eagle Hooknose stood up as he spoke, and hurriedly glanced at the beard behind him, meaning to ask him to call the few people outside in.
"No, it's not a big deal. They are also quite conscientious and know that you are talking to the hostess inside, so they let us go. By the way, are you done talking?" said Xiaoshan indifferently.
"It's over, it's over!" Hooknose nodded hurriedly.
"That..."
"I understand, I'll get out!"
After saying that, Eagle Hooknose turned around and left the tavern without hesitation, without saying a word to Wei Qingyi.
"Oops! It turns out that being famous has this kind of benefit, and saying a name can scare people half to death. No wonder everyone wants to be famous. ”
After the hooked nose left, Xiaoshan sighed smugly at Shi Changfeng.
Shi Changfeng snorted disdainfully and ignored Xiaoshan.
"Today's events are thanks to the two of you. Otherwise, I really don't know how to get rid of him. If you don't dislike it, I'll invite you two to a glass of wine to say thank you. Wei Qingyi stood up and said.
"The boss doesn't have to see each other like this, we're friends!" Xiaoshan said with a smile.
A table was found for Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng again, Wei Qingyi instructed the bartender to prepare the wine and food, and she sat down with Xiaoshan and them.
"Boss, how did Qin Feng's people find you? Moreover, looking at this posture doesn't seem to be a good thing. Xiaoshan asked.
Wei Qingyi sighed helplessly while pouring tea for Xiaoshan and Shi Changfeng: "This is not the first time they have come to the door, their purpose is this tavern." ”
"Tavern?" Xiao Shan frowned, puzzled: "With the strength of 'Qin Feng', you can't open a tavern by yourself, and you can open a few taverns if you want to, why would you target your tavern?"
Wei Qingyi put down the teapot in his hand and smiled: "Qi Le'er's girl should have told you, my husband is also the leader of an adventure group, he doesn't have any big ambitions, he just hopes to provide a place where adventurers who have been running around the mainland all year round can drink wine and eat meat." Over the years, my husband and wife have used almost all of our savings to open a tavern. With the help of many friends and colleagues, each of the five main cities of Great Qin now has an 'adventurer's paradise'. ”
"Although my husband's adventure group is not particularly famous, he is a good person, and he has accumulated some contacts over the years. Therefore, our five taverns are also quite good. But some time ago, I don't know why, the people of 'Qin Feng' suddenly came to us and said that they would buy all our taverns. ”
"These five taverns are all the work of our husband and wife, and they are also my husband's ideals, and of course we are reluctant to do so. As a result, the people of 'Qin Feng' came to us every now and then to find trouble. They have huge power, and the head of the regiment is the second prince of Great Qin, so we can't completely tear our faces with them, so we can only drag them like this. That's what you're here to see today. ”
After listening to Wei Qingyi's narration, Xiaoshan fell into deep thought. He still doesn't understand why "Qin Feng" has to buy Wei Qingyi's tavern and their family, if it is to suppress Wei Qingyi's husband's adventure group, it would be good to directly target Wei Qingyi's husband, what role can the acquisition of the tavern play?
"For intelligence and connections. ”
Shi Changfeng, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.
"What do you mean?" said Xiaoshan with a frown.
Shi Changfeng ignored Xiao Shan, but looked at Wei Qingyi and said, "Is it only one of your taverns in the five main cities of Great Qin that is specially opened for adventurers?"
Wei Qingyi thought for a while, nodded and said, "As far as I know, it should be, because some so-called upper-class people feel that adventurers are rough people, so adventurers are not welcome in many places." Take Fengyun City as an example, if an adventuring group comes to Fengyun City, they usually stay in the outer city. Even if they enter the inner city, they will always come to me, and rarely go to other restaurants, for fear of getting into trouble. ”
"That's right, as you said earlier, you and your husband have been in business for so many years, and many adventurers have already recognized your tavern. In a sense, your 'adventurer's paradise' is like a home for adventurers. Most of the parties will come to your tavern whenever they go to the main city, and think about what a huge gathering place of information and what a huge network of contacts. 'Qin Feng' should have taken a fancy to this, so he insisted on buying you. ”
After listening to Shi Changfeng's explanation, Wei Qingyi nodded, obviously she agreed with Shi Changfeng's statement, but Xiaoshan still had some doubts.
"I still can't figure out why they didn't open it themselves, but had to buy someone else's. Xiaoshan said with a frown.
Shi Changfeng glanced at Xiaoshan with disdain, and said mockingly: "You are sometimes very smart, but sometimes you are really stupid! Since there are already ready-made ones, why does 'Qin Feng' have to start from scratch by himself? Besides, the recognition of 'Adventurer's Paradise' by most people is the result of so many years of hard work by the husband and wife. Although 'Qin Feng' is huge, the adventurous world has mixed opinions about 'Qin Feng', even if they also open a tavern specifically for adventurers, it may not have such a good effect as 'Adventurer's Paradise'. Do you understand that?"
