Familiar Boss

Chapter 12 Tavern

Su Ke brought Xiao Hei to the street, and at a glance, he didn't seem to see any food for sale.

He stretched out his hand to touch his belly, which was already attached to his back, and asked, "Where is there food for sale?"

Xiao Hei didn't seem to hear clearly, because it couldn't believe that Su Ke didn't even know where to buy food.

"Master, there is food for sale in the tavern." Xiao Hei still suppressed his emotions and replied in a low voice.

"Oh!" Su Ke understood, and quickly walked towards the tavern.

There were sporadic people standing outside the tavern, they were drinking and chatting with each other, some of them were already drunk, sitting or lying down.

Although the drunk people fell asleep, no one dared to think about them and try to steal from them, because these people were all mercenaries.

Su Ke looked around Allen's Tavern. The crowds were chaotic and slovenly dressed, which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But I had to buy something to eat, so I had to go in.

Just as Su Ke came to the door of the tavern and walked in, a big man suddenly bumped out of the tavern.

The big, rough man held an iron wine flask in his hand and arrogantly knocked Su Ke away as he entered the tavern head-on.

Su Ke didn't have time to dodge, and was knocked aside by the big guy, but fortunately there was a wooden door blocking his back, otherwise he would have fallen down.

"Kid, walk carefully!"

The big man turned his head and glared at Su Ke with sharp eyes, and said in a rough voice as if warning.

Su Ke didn't speak, and looked at the big man in front of him inexplicably.

Judging from the appearance of these people, you know that these people cannot be messed with because they are too strong.

Mercenaries often take on various tasks and often run around outside, so their bodies are relatively tall and strong.

In addition, they often fight, and the mercenaries who have experienced many battles, regardless of their combat experience, courage, or combat ability, cannot be underestimated.

An inexperienced person like Su Ke really has no chance of winning against these mercenaries.

Even if the combat power is judged on an individual basis, Su Ke's body is so thin, compared with these people, it is too disparate.

Fortunately, after the big man finished yelling, he drank the wine without incident and gradually left.

"These brainless guys!" Xiao Hei almost slipped off Su Ke's shoulder just now, when he saw the strong man walking away, he cursed angrily.

Su Ke didn't take it seriously and continued to enter the tavern.

The tavern was full of smog and smog, and the noise was endless, and the air was filled with smoke like a thick fog.

Seeing Su Ke walking in, some of the drinking people saw him thin and small, so they couldn't help whistling at him, which was obviously provoking and mocking him.

Since Su Ke looked so weak, he really seemed too weak in front of these burly and strong mercenaries.

"Where did this bitch come from? Yoho! It turned out to be a brat! Haha!"

"Little Milkman also wants to dare to enter the tavern!"

"Boy, you're in the wrong place! Haha!"

"Get out!"

Su Ke glanced at these people vigilantly, and saw that they all looked very sloppy, with scars all over their naked bodies and faces.

These people seem to be drunk and going crazy, and they insult people who are thinner than themselves to get a sense of refreshment.

Facing their ridicule and provocation, Su Ke began to feel a little nervous and scared.

His heart was beating fast unconsciously, his back was chilling, and even his body was trembling unnaturally.

Su Ke's right hand clenched the short dagger at his waist, which was the one he took from Trum, and his left hand clenched his fist.

His gait also began to appear uncoordinated. Due to extreme mental tension, his motor nerves also experienced intermittent paralysis, and his walking occasionally faltered.

Xiao Hei lay on Su Ke's shoulder, clearly feeling Su Ke's nervousness.

"Master, don't worry, these people are almost all mercenaries, they dare not make trouble in the tavern." Xiao Hei said calmly.

"These guys saliva really stinks. They always like to mock people who look weaker than themselves. What a bunch of disgusting guys!" Xiao Hei cursed while turning his head around.

Su Ke understood Xiao Hei's meaning, and the tension in his heart gradually eased.

What these mercenaries like most is to watch the people they ridiculed and make a fool of themselves in front of everyone.

This is also a way for them to have fun when they are resting in the tavern and are bored.

In taverns, mercenaries would never dare to fight and make trouble. If they fought and made trouble in taverns, he would never even think about being a mercenary in his life.

And it is still a difficult problem whether they can get out of the tavern alive, because other mercenaries will also work together to punish those who do not obey the rules.

Therefore, people who have conflicts will walk out of the tavern before fighting, either to have a fair duel, or to kill each other.

Su Ke shifted his attention from the mercenaries beside him to the wine counter in the innermost part of the tavern.

He saw an uncle in his 50s with a beard, shaking his head and laughing while wiping a huge beer glass.

After Su Ke saw him, information related to him emerged in his head. This is Uncle Bruno, the owner of the tavern.

As the owner of the tavern, Uncle Bruno, he often sees such things, so he always finds these mercenaries boring.

He always faces the people who come into the tavern with a relaxed smile to help those who are being ridiculed and ease their nervousness.

Seeing Su Ke slowly coming to the front desk of the tavern, Uncle Bruno glanced at him with a smile, but was still busy wiping his big wine glass.

"Boy, long time no see. Do you want to buy something to eat when you come here today? Is there something else?"

Bruno's tone was very friendly, listening to Su Ke, he felt like an old friend.

As for the people outside the city, the owner of the tavern actually knows them well, because they would come to buy some food from time to time.

Much of the food in the tavern comes from Windming Castle, and some of it is purchased from hunters outside the city.

Su Ke just recovered from his nervousness, grinned reluctantly and unnaturally, and replied: "I want to have something to eat."

"Well, what do you want to eat?" Uncle Bruno asked kindly.

Su Ke thought about it, he didn't know what to eat in the tavern.

"Master, I want to eat wheat bread slices and grilled fish slices. I want to eat two." Xiao Hei was very clear about what he wanted to eat, drooling and shouting.

Su Ke smiled and said, "Four slices of wheat bread, two grilled fish fillets, and... a pound of dried mutton."

When Bruno heard what Su Ke ordered, he was taken aback in surprise: "Mutton jerky is not cheap! Boy."

Su Ke replied indifferently as usual: "I know."

Su Ke was never so generous when he came to buy things, usually he only bought four slices of wheat bread, never bought grilled fish fillets or dried mutton.

Moreover, the price of grilled fish fillets and jerky mutton is not cheap, but this time Su Ke suddenly spent a lot of money, Bruno was really surprised.
