Black Knight From Blue Star

Chapter 20: Relationships are really useful

Hardy vomited in the corner for at least half an hour, then staggered away.

Virginia and the dozen or so nobles laughed loudly, but not maliciously, just full of ridicule.

 Because they really believe that eating mummies is good for the body, and whatever they eat will replenish their health.

 Especially the mummies of Pharaohs, which are more effective.

This is a traditional and expensive delicacy of Aolo, which even poor people cannot afford.

Hadi already felt much better after vomiting for more than ten minutes.

 In the end, Virginia very thoughtfully brought two mummified ‘lychees’ on a plate.

 Looking at the two dark, dry flat beans on the plate, and thinking about the origin of these things, he suddenly vomited even more fiercely.

 After that, Virginia laughed and arranged for Hardy to be sent out of the castle.

He was helped onto the carriage by Link again and set off home.

 The carriage swayed, and although Hardy wanted to vomit even more, his face also turned cold.

Just now, while Virginia was giving him lychees, she whispered in his ear: "When I met the king in the royal city a while ago, an 'anonymous' person told me that he wanted to buy your life, but I didn't Agree. Besides, a group of outsiders have come to our Hexi County recently. It’s hard for me to investigate. You should be careful.”

 Is it really the royal family?

 Hardy chuckled inwardly.

Although Virginia said it was difficult for him to investigate, she actually told Hardy everything.

 As expected, the art of speaking among smart people is different.

 Next, Hardy only needs to investigate the team that entered River City from the outside in the past two or three days, and he can easily find out 'that group of people'.

 Back home, Hadi lay on the bed for a long time before he regained his composure.

 Lillian tenderly served him to take a bath, change clothes, and then warm the bed to sleep.

 Now he is a baron. Although he is the lowest noble, he is still a noble.

 He wanted to find someone to share this happy event with, but the thought came and went and he could only sigh.

 My two "Fa Xiao" have already gone out for training.

 My own woman, Sophie, ran away to the devil world again.

It is difficult to find someone to talk to and relieve your boredom.

 He let out a long sigh and closed his eyes to rest.

 The next day, he did not practice swordsmanship. Instead, he went to the city alone, found a tavern, and opened the door.

 Because it was morning, there were no customers in the tavern, and there was only a bartender cleaning the place.

 The air in the tavern is filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

Seeing Hardy, the young bartender was a little surprised: "Oh, let me see, who is this? Crybaby~~ Hardy!"

Hardy approached with a smile, gave the other person a hug, and said, "Long time no see, braggadocio Thompson."

This action confused the other party. After a while, Tumpson exclaimed: "I haven't seen you for half a year, and you have changed so much. If I had said this in the past, you would have looked at me with a sinister look. "

　　Hardy moved a chair over, sat down and said with a smile: "I didn't know much before, but now I suddenly understand many things."

Thompson looked very ordinary. He looked at Hardy quietly for a while, took out a wine glass from the side, filled the glass, and put it in front of Hardy: "Sorry, I have done something wrong before."

Hardy took a sip of his wine and raised his head to signal: "It's all gone."

The two were silent for a while, and then laughed at the same time.

Thompson wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "If you had this kind of character before, we would have been good friends long ago."

 “It’s not too late.”

"Same." Tompson patted Hardy's shoulder hard twice and said, "It must have been very hard recently. Not only do you have to deal with your father's affairs, but you also have to be wary of enemies who don't know where they are coming from."

 “You know?” Hardy was a little curious.

“Don’t even think about what we do.” Hardy smiled. Of course he knew what the main business direction of this pub was.

 Intelligence workers occasionally take on assassination jobs.

 The reason why he was able to establish a good relationship with the people in this tavern was mainly due to his father.

Old Hardy had a good relationship with the owner of this tavern, who was Dompson’s father, so he asked ten-year-old Hardy to come here and accept Old Dompson as his teacher. He paid a high fee to learn writing!

That's right, I learned writing from an information dealer.

 Old Hardy's reason is simple. In this way, he can have an intimate relationship with an intelligence expert, so why not do it.

 Then Hardy became associated with the Tompson family.

It’s just that Hardy was not very sensible at the time. Although he learned how to write, his relationship with the Tompson family was not close.

Especially with little Tompson, the relationship is very bad.

 When the two sides met, they started to ridicule each other.

Hardy looked outside the tavern. No one came in for the time being, so he asked: "So, do you know who my enemy is?"

"I'm not sure exactly." Little Tompson crossed his arms and said, "But it should be someone from the Royal City. Of course, this is just my father's speculation. So, you came here to investigate this matter?"

 Hardy took a bag from his waist and put it on the table: "I know the teacher's rules. This is the full price."

Little Tompson picked up the bag, weighed it, listened to the sound of metal hitting inside, and smiled: "The portion is very large, what do you want to check?"

"In the past three days, among the groups that came to Hexi County from outside, which one will be detrimental to me!"

Little Tompson closed his eyes slightly, and then said: "We took over this matter."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." Little Tompson patted Hardy's shoulder angrily twice: "You've given me so much money. If it weren't for the rules and regulations in our industry, I would actually give you a free payment."

 “That’s not necessary…”

 After the two chatted for a while, Hardy left.

 He still has a lot to do, and now he has to count every minute.

 Because as long as he exercises, he is getting stronger every minute and every second.

This body’s talents are very good, far beyond what the previous ‘game character’ can match.

 He returned to the manor and began to practice swordsmanship again. In the afternoon, he learned magic. Then in the evening, a guest came to the house.

The other party said he was delivering a gift for someone else, so he handed over a box and left.

 Hardy opened the box, and inside was a piece of paper with the names of nine people written on it, as well as their current addresses.

“The tavern’s work efficiency is really high.” Hardy snapped his fingers, and the magic flame instantly burned and engulfed the piece of paper. Then he said to Lillian next to him: “Have someone prepare hot water, I want to take a bath.”

 Lillian nodded and went out.

In the bathroom, Lilian helped Hardy scrub his body. There was a hint of spring in her eyes: "Master's body is getting stronger and stronger."

 Slender fingers brushed over Hardy's muscles.

  She remembered that the owner from more than a month ago did not have such an angular physique.

 Hardy smiled and said, “You can’t exercise in vain.”

"Master, are you going to kill someone?" Lilian's brown eyes were full of expectation and curiosity.

 “You can actually see it!”

Lilian laughed: "After all, I have served you for several years."

"You are so smart, I have to reward you." Hadi pinched her cheek: "On the bed, wait for me to come back."

 “As you wish, my lord.”

Lillian’s eyes were as bright as the sun.
