Chapter 13 Conflict ()

Money is heroic courage!

With a heavy wallet with a full 165 gold coins in hand, Lao Lei felt that his waist was much harder.

In addition to earning a sum of funds that can help the Crazy Hammer tribe survive the harsh winter, the greater gain for Leon is to rely on a reputable and reliable sales path - Forest Fox is worthy of being a business that can be recognized by others. Even if Leon repeatedly raises the price on the basis of the other party's counter-price, Old Jace, the manager, was patiently bargaining with him.

With this huge amount of money, Leon did not rush to go to the grain shop to complete the transaction, but came to a bar on the same street as the business bank.

Blackstone Town is really not big, and the bustling area is concentrated around the town center square. You can get there by walking a few steps.

It was noon now, and the oak door was carved with axe, sword and thorn patterns. The bar called Warriors Park was very good. When Leon pushed the door open, he saw that more than a dozen tables inside were almost full of people, and only a few wooden stools placed in front of the bar were empty.

The bar is not big, and the low house makes the tall Leon feel like he can't raise his head. One side is piled with round wine barrels, and the simplicity exudes a primitive and rough atmosphere.

Those who come here to consume are obviously not civilians, rude adventurers, proud mercenaries, smiling gray camel merchants, wandering artists carrying harps... and even a few mages in gray robes mingled among them - to be precise, they are apprentices of magicians.

Adventurers and mercenaries drank and yelled, which made the atmosphere in the bar very noisy. Several coquettish girls with heavy makeup walked through them and spoke in awe, and didn't mind touching and pinching their hands on their buttocks.

To be honest, I was used to seeing the big, thick and thick-haired, aunt Bear Bear in the Mad Hammer Tribe, and when I saw these bar girls with average appearance but hot and hot figure, Leon's eyes were a little hot and hot.

However, these bar girls were not interested in Leon. When he came in, he could only take a few adventurers sitting near the door and then turn back indifferently, with contemptuous eyes.

To get rid of the little bit of thought in my heart, Leon sat down in front of the bar.

"Barrien, what do you want? We'll pay first!" asked the chubby bartender behind the bar coldly, looking at Leon as if he was looking at a free diner.

"Come some barbecue and another good glass of ale!" Leon slapped a gold coin on the bar: "By the way, find out some more news."

According to the experience told by Elder Monstein, the bar where mercenary adventurers mingle is a gathering place for various news, and the bartenders who are in charge are often one of the most informative people, and their main income comes from this.

The standard eighth ounce gold coin flashed with tempting light on the dark wooden table, but its brilliance only shone for a moment, and was then pulled away by a fat big hand.

"Guest, please wait."

People who are rich and generous in action are popular everywhere, and even a goblin can get enough courtesy. As soon as this gold coin is used, the bartender's attitude immediately changed from cold autumn and winter to warm spring and summer, and his smile floated on his round face.

The ale and barbecue were quickly brought up, and the golden meat was even sprinkled with spices. It made people's index fingers tremble, and the foamy ale tasted very much like beer.

Leon started chatting with the bartender while having a feast.

The power of money is infinite. A gold coin is enough to make a small town bartender speak out and speak indefinitely.

During the conversation, Leon learned that the Blackstone town was located at the junction of the Kingdom of Otto and the Principality of Rocco. Due to geographical location, although there were not many residents in the town, there were not a few mercenary adventurers and merchants coming and going.

Blackstone Town belongs to the territory of Samuel, the hereditary Viscount of Otto Kingdom. Although the Viscount's castle is located hundreds of miles away, it still has strong control over the Blackstone Town.

There is an elite territory guard stationed in the town. Captain Celtic is a family knight, whose force is enough to ensure the peace of the town.

"It's your first time in Blackstone. Remember not to make trouble in the town. Lord Knight will hang anyone who dares to challenge his authority on the wooden frame outside the town..." The bartender warned: "Of course, no one will care about it when you leave the town. To the south is the territory of the Principality of Rocco."

Leon nodded and wrote it in his heart. Knights, like warriors, are warriors who have mastered the power of fighting spirit. They are equivalent to beast soul warriors of the beast clan, and are far from being able to match ordinary adventurers or mercenaries.

Unlike warriors, knights not only represent strength, but also have the status of a nobleman. They are rewards that can only be obtained by seeking a family or entering the army. Some knights with outstanding achievements can even establish their own knight leaders.

The bar welcomes guests from all over the world every day. The bartender is knowledgeable and talkative. From his mouth, Leon heard many local customs and rumors about the New World, and his understanding of this world has become much deeper.

While the two were chatting, the bar door was pushed open again, and a team of five or six adventurers walked in.

Adventurers and mercenaries belong to the civil forces in this world, especially human races. They mainly receive various tasks as their main source of income, hunt monsters, find lost treasures, guard caravans, help towns drive away monsters, participate in battles as mercenaries, etc.

However, mercenaries are formal and officially recognized by the military organization. A mercenary group has their own resident, with strict systems and disciplines, and the cost of employment is relatively high.

The sources of adventurers are much more complex, including down-and-out warriors, warriors who make money, wanted fugitive criminals and even defeated knights. There are many numbers but the quality is uneven, and their reputation is far inferior to that of mercenaries. The price of employment is cheaper.

The most important difference between the two is that mercenaries have their own team badges, and the mercenary group they belong to can be seen from the badges, while adventurers do not. They do not mind covering their faces and acting as bandits when necessary.

When the adventurers came in, the bar was already full of guests. The warrior walking in front with a tomahawk on his back frowned and glanced around, and his eyes lit up when he saw the bar.

He stepped forward a few steps and slapped Leon on the shoulder, who was sitting in front of the bar.

"Hey, barbarian, let's go there, we're going to sit here!"

There are three or four empty seats on the left and right next to Leon, just in time to sit down the new adventurers.

Looking for death! A fierce light flashed in Lei'an's eyes, but he did not burst out immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the other party and said in a deep voice: "Take off your claws and apologize!"

His reaction was beyond the adventurer's expectations. The axe warrior was stunned at first, then exerted his right hand and sneered: "Barbarian, do you want to die?"

He saw that Leon was just alone and a barbarian. He was not worth mentioning in his outfit or weapons, so he had no psychological burden to bully.

Originally, I thought Leon would give up his position obediently, but I didn't expect to hit a tough nail, which made him feel ruthless in his heart to give Leon a good look, otherwise how could he step down in front of so many people?

The axe warrior is very confident about his hand strength. Don’t look at Leon’s burly and strong figure. It is not a problem to crush Leon’s shoulder bones with force.

But reality gave the axe warrior a ruthless mockery. No matter how hard he tried, Leon's shoulders were as hard as copper cast iron, and they could not shake them at all.

"Ah!~"

The axe warrior screamed. Instead of being able to crush Leon's shoulder bone, Leon grabbed his wrist.

Leon's hand was as hard as an iron pliers. With one hand, everyone next to him heard a crisp sound of bone cracks. The axe warrior's face turned red under the severe pain, and almost fell to the ground.

If Leon, who didn't know the situation, didn't mind playing a rustic guy who just came from the countryside when he first entered Blackstone Town, then he is not a rookie who can be kneaded now.

In this world, the strong are more respected. Those who are cowardly and avoid being given up will never be respected by others.

The screams of the axe warriors were heard, and the entire bar suddenly became silent, and everyone's eyes were attracted.

"Barbar, let go of House!"

"Do you want to die?"

…

The companions of the axe warriors behind him woke up from their dreams and shouted loudly. A thief even pulled out the dagger, as if he was ready to go up and stab Leon at any time.

"roll!"

Leon shouted in a low voice, and his arm suddenly pushed forward. The axe warrior flew up and hit backwards on one of his companions.

Both of them almost became rolling gourds, and they were as embarrassed as they were.

Leon's actions completely angered the adventurers. Another warrior pulled out his sword, while a mage apprentice standing at the back raised his staff, and a battle was about to explode.

Leon's right hand fell on the tiger's saber and stared at his opponent coldly.

There are five people on the other side, two soldiers, one archer, one thief, and one wizard apprentice, and one is a standard adventure team.

He didn't care about the other party's warrior archer, but he was a little afraid of the seemingly weak mage apprentice, because Leon had heard Elder Monstein talk about the power of a magician more than once, and even an apprentice should not be underestimated.

If a battle breaks out, then he must first kill the mage apprentice!

However, the battle did not happen. The bartender standing behind the bar roared loudly: "Adventurers, you dare to use force here. Don't you know the rules of Blackstone? If you don't get out of here, Lord Celtic Knight will put you all in prison!"
