Mercenaries and Adventurers

A moment later, the fight broke out again in the tavern.

The reason was that when Kiel came out of the wine cellar, the already tense first floor of the tavern was enraged by the two yells from the thug boss in the wine cellar stairs.

"Leave that young man for me! Bind him!" was what other drinkers in the tavern heard.

Subsequently, violence broke out again in the lobby of the Burning Grassland Tavern.

The rough and fierce thugs were afraid of the young warrior's sword, but fortunately, the young warrior fought back with his bare hands.

But even if Keir just fought these strong middle-aged thugs with bare hands, these guys with sticks in their hands were no match for that one person.

It's outrageous, for those who are watching a good show.

They had never seen a guy who could fight like this. Kiel's movements were concise and direct, because he was protected by full-body armor, so when Kiel put on his helmet at the moment of fighting, he immediately rushed backwards to the many thugs who were coming.

Raise your arms to fend off the swipe of a club, and then throw a straight punch that knocks a thug's jaw out of the way. He let the opponent's fist hit him without blocking it, and then he bowed his head and flew a thug.

Charged from left to right, punching and kicking, and two local soldiers followed behind Kiel, protecting the clerk Imor together. Unlucky guy, they rushed out of the tavern with a bang.

As soon as he got out of the tavern, Kiel took off his helmet, smiled and made obscene gestures towards the bruised and swollen thugs who dared not come out of the tavern.

But the two local soldiers who followed looked nervous. Although they had been trained, they also participated in the mediation of fights between some forces in the town, and had arrested bandits who resisted arrest. But it was the first time for him to fight with Kiel in a low-intensity fight like this.

And even rushed out, only being hit a few times with sticks.

Rubbing the sore place under the leather jacket, the two soldiers looked at the young warrior Kiel in surprise.

How did they fight all the way out of the siege of so many people just now?

Yi Moore, panting heavily, hid behind Kiel, nervously watching the thugs who dared not fight in the street.

"Won't they come out to fight? They won't come out, will they?"

He asked Kyle nervously.

Keir patted his ears, feeling like he was going to be annoyed to death by this guy, what's going on with your fierce sportsmanship? Did this clerk participate in the battle just now?

It seems that there is no hey.

"Okay, don't be nervous, these guys don't dare to come out, look." Kiel then made another provocative gesture, and the response he got was not that the other party rushed out to fight, but that the thugs were facing the door in the tavern. They curse.

It was the first time even the clerk Imor had heard some local curse words in the western provinces.

He was a little hesitant, wondering if he should also record these 'creative' swear words in the book, after all, it was something to be handed over to the big shots later, would it stain the baron's eyes?

In the tavern, the tavern owner who came out of the cellar and two of his old brothers suffered some injuries, and they were all of the kind that could obviously be seen on their faces.

Scar Parry still had nosebleeds in his nose, he took the dry cloth handed over by his tavern clerk, and wiped it on his mouth indiscriminately: "##￥##, that guy just kicked a few of us down there. It's been a while of torture, what's the matter with you? Why don't you block people?"

The two old guys next to him did the same, rubbing the bruises on their faces with one hand, and slapped the subordinate who was bowing his head and being scolded vigorously with the other: "Block people! Block people! Let you useless things beat people up!" Block it, and you just let him go down like this?"

"Damn it! The three of us are nearly 200 years old together. We were attacked and knocked down by that **** young man. Didn't you hear us calling from the bottom? Are we all deaf? Ah!"

The tavern guy and the thugs brought by the other two didn't dare to say anything, they could only stare at Kiel's group walking away on the street outside the tavern with hatred.

It was the bartender at the tavern who said something to ease the situation: "I really didn't hear it. We confronted those two soldiers up there. No one thought that that man would actually beat you."

"Then why not block it? Can't beat it?" Scar Parry asked.

A drinker next to him didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and teased: "Haha, these guys are all timid when they see the shining sword in his waist."

This time, the three cursed and reprimanded continuously.

It wasn't until everyone was seated again and after cleaning up the chaos of the fighting in the tavern that Scar Parry and his two old brothers came to his room on the third floor that he closed the wooden door tightly and spoke in a low voice.

"Is that young man reliable?"

"Who knows, although I don't know if he can persuade the lord, but I have to try. I can't bear the things of those outsiders to threaten me."

"Do we need our brothers to ask Renshen to join forces? If we can find this kind of force in our lair, we still have to find a way to kill it."

Scar Parry immediately waved his hand to stop: "Farewell, those things just now were specially done for others to see, just to pick me out. Although it is a bit rough, but it is true, my body is weak. I haven’t been beaten for several years, and I don’t even know when the last time I got a nosebleed.”

"Hmph, you've been slacking off. You weren't like this when you were young. Not only your skills, but also your courage, even your body has weakened."

"Our brothers did not settle down before, and it seems that the choice is correct. Parry, you are no longer the horse bandit galloping on the grassland in your early years."

Scar Parry was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly.

"Yeah, I have become weak, not only can't hold a saber, but even the knife in my heart has been rusted by these years of stable life."

"Fart, rust? Did you just throw it somewhere?"

-

Kiel led the people back to the previously agreed meeting place.

A house belonging to Mr. Pawey outside the local manor's mansion.

The other people who came out of the town to bring Fanny, the important witness of last night, have not come back, so it is naturally difficult for Keir and the others to enter Mr. Pawe's house, even if the housekeeper invited Keir and Imore to come in and have a sit down. (The housekeeper dared to invite people into the house to wait for a while because there were two local soldiers who Pawei usually used to do business with.

The four of them stood on the street outside the house, talking about the scene of fighting in the tavern just now.

Imol knew what was going on, so he couldn't say anything, but Kiel told the soldiers about the tactics he used in the battle just now.

"The key is not to let them fight around us! We must force them back and create a frontal force that is about the same number as the three of us."

Keir waved his hands and said, he made a movement of pushing down the table: "Did you remember, I just knocked down the wine table on our side, and the overturned furniture blocked at least half of the people. No need Really hinder them completely, as long as you create difficulties for them, when they see the guy who is fighting us with a black nose and a swollen face, they will naturally slow down, even if they don't realize what they are doing."

The two soldiers suddenly realized, no wonder there were only four of them, and one had to protect them, yet they were able to repel more than a dozen people and rush out of the tavern. It turned out that there was such a clever reasoning in the battle just now.

"The key is that Keel is good at your skills. You can knock down one with one punch."

"The strength of the legs is also very strong. A tall thug can fly away with one kick."

Hearing the compliments from the two, Keel poked his waist and laughed.

"It's okay, it's okay. Haha, you haven't seen what I look like when I practice with other soldiers in the barracks." Keel patted the armor on his body: "Wearing this armor is the same as those who don't even have a knife. Fighting with guys is really not challenging. You can ask the clerk Imor, he must have seen how I defeated more than ten opponents by myself."

Yi Moore smiled awkwardly. He was actually not very interested in fighting. When he was marching before, he had seen the scene of Kiel fighting with other soldiers with his bare hands. If you want to make it through, you have to invest money in the game.

He didn't have the habit of gambling, so he didn't see Kiel's fight with his own eyes, but only heard a few words from his partners.

Just when he was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, Mr. Pawei and the baron's personal guard Rubis came over with someone, just to relieve him.

"What are you talking about? So happy." Mr. Pawei walked over curiously, just asked briefly, then opened the door of his house, and waved to everyone: "Come in first."

Keel saw a young woman among Rubis and the others. He looked at Rubis, and Rubis nodded to him: "It's basically the same as what Paris said, but there is good news, this woman named Fanny said that he recognized the murderer who killed last night .”

"Oh, didn't you say that the other party was dressed in black with his head covered?"

Rubis made a gesture to go in, so Keir didn't say anything, and followed the crowd into Mr. Pawei's house.

-

As a confidant of the local knight lord and a close relative, Pawei naturally has his own house in the lord's mansion, but as a confidant of the lord with some status in the local area, he naturally also has his own house.

The house is next to the knight lord's mansion. It is a rather grand local-style big house with yards at the front and back.

There is a garden in the front yard, with many flowers that are commonly seen in the local area, and the back yard is lush and lush, and there are faint neighing sounds of horses.

As for the main building of the house, it is a two-story tall house with a very local architectural decoration style.

The large wooden windows, the height of the building is much higher than that of the buildings in the Northwest Province, and the spacious aisles and rooms, making people feel that there is no problem riding a horse in the house.

After the soldiers following Mr. Pawei entered the house, they sat down on a long stone chair in the garden of the front yard consciously, and talked to each other about their experiences after parting at noon.

Both of them have something to say.

One party followed Mr. Pawei and talked about the stubborn Jingshui Ranch people outside the town, and focused on how the seldom-talking Lubis among the Kendalls defeated the herdsmen arranged by the ranchers with a one-on-six and succeeded. Bring out Fanny who is sheltered in the ranch.

The one following Kiel talked about the thrilling scene they had in the tavern not long ago, how the three of them cleverly overturned the wine table, and were surrounded by more than a dozen thugs with less victories and more victories. Out of the tavern thing.

As he spoke, the two soldiers who followed Kiel unbuttoned the leather jackets they were wearing to show where they were hit by the thugs' sticks.

Therefore, several soldiers unanimously judged that they would definitely look for opportunities to give those thugs a good look in the future.

As long as you know which store's thugs are guarding it.

Several guys laughed hey hey.

In the house, Pawei led Keir and others to the living room of the house. The wooden floor and the hand-woven wool carpet are soft and pleasant for everyone to step on.

The butler led a waiter and immediately served boiling scented tea to everyone.

"It's all fresh scented tea, try it, it will refresh you. Oh, I haven't walked such a long distance in a long time. If I knew it, I would ride out."

Pawei lay down on the wide wooden chair covered with a woolen blanket, with a tired look on his face.

Keel sniffed the scented scented tea and took a sip, it was not bad.

He glanced at Fanny who was tied to the wooden chair in the corner of the room: "Everyone, tell me what you found just now."

So, Lubis told everyone what happened after lunch, and Mr. Pawei added. The clerk, Yi Moore, was the busiest. He sat on the wooden chair, put the book on his lap, and wrote quickly with a pen in his hand. It made people wonder whether they had recorded what they said.

Pawei looked curiously at the clerk who was recording aside, feeling novelty and useful.

In this way, if you want to review what happened today, you can easily find the detailed records without bothering to recall.

He leaned over curiously, and saw that Imore used the initials of each of Kiel's surnames to represent the person who was speaking. If the letters were the same, he would add an initial to distinguish the sentence. who said it.

And what surprised him was that although Yi Moore moved quickly, the words written on the book were neat and concise. Although he would not completely copy all the words of the speaker in a long sentence, he still copied the other party's words after the brevity. The words generally inherit the meaning.

"How did you do it?" Pawei asked.

Imore looked up at the owner of the house, and while continuing to record the passage of Lubis and others, he replied casually: "Just count. It's nothing. I'm in charge of this position."

Pawei nodded, and returned to his seat, lying comfortably on the soft wool blanket, thinking in his mind that he must arrange a clerk who records work affairs like this.

His thoughts were interrupted by Keel talking about his side of the discovery.

Kiel first said that he had found Parian, the algae head in the prison. As expected, as a well-informed local cosmetics dealer, the other party had no idea what happened last night.

"The Thieves' Guild!" Kiel said.

"The Thieves Guild?" Everyone was surprised.

But Keir didn't care about everyone's actions to touch his purse, and then talked about what happened when he went to the Burning Grassland Tavern.

"Iss Blades!" Keel said.

"Iss Blade Gang?" Everyone was puzzled.

"This is the news from Scar Parry, who has had direct contact with the other party. It is different from the algae head who only heard the news and speculated. Scar is a tavern owner with greater strength and influence, and the news is more accurate. This so-called Yisi Blade The gang is a subordinate force of the Thieves Guild's subordinates, located in Grass Rat Town."

"The leader seems to be an experienced thief named Isi. He was assigned by the superior to be responsible for the work of Grass Rat Town. In fact, it is to develop power, cultivate cronies and small thieves, steal property, valuables, and get from the business travelers who come and go. Get some news or something."

Keel said so.

After hearing this, Pawei rubbed his eyebrows in distress: "It's really troublesome. I didn't expect that our small place would be favored by such a big organization and arrange people to develop power."

Keel comforted him: "Who told the weeds to live on a commercial road. There is no way."

Speaking of this, Pawei slapped his head: "Ah! I remembered, the Alondel Chamber of Commerce passed by here last year for some reason lost a valuable treasure, and there was a big fuss in the town to find the lost treasure. A big trouble."

He shook his head: "In the end, it was my uncle who tortured the relevant personnel. He found a guy who responded to the thieves, and hanged that person in the center of the town. But the big chamber of commerce is still very unhappy. A lot less."

He clenched his fist fiercely and slammed it on his other palm: "From now on, it must be doing something for others. It must have been a seasoned thief who stole the things with such a big mess."

"The thief named Isi? Speaking of which, shouldn't they use nicknames or pseudonyms to hang around? How do you put your own name on top of the organization's name?" Keir was a little puzzled.

Lubis, the baron's personal guard, has some insight: "This Yisi may be a nickname or a pseudonym. It may be that the gang leader took it before he came."

"Oh, that's right."

Kiel looked at Mr. Pawei, who was distressed and stunned: "The matter has developed to this point, it seems that you have to inform your uncle. I think this relevant news should be known to the knight lord. After thinking and judging by the other party, we Only by solving these problems can we solve these problems. After all, I don’t think we can really find out the guy who killed our businessman from the Yisi knife gang last night.”

Speaking of this, Keir thought of something. He looked at Fanny who was **** in the corner without saying a word: "By the way, you said she knew the face of the murderer. What is going on?"

Just as Lubis was about to speak, Pawei excitedly said first: "After the murderer, he threatened the girl with his mouth. But that guy didn't expect that he thought he was masked, and no one would recognize him."

He continued proudly: "But he didn't expect that Fanny would often pick up customers at the Burning Grassland Tavern~www.readwn.com~ In the tavern, she met the thief a few times when he was not masked. This girl hates him so much. The thief looked at her eyes, so he paid extra attention to the voice of the thief."

Fanny, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "So I recognized his voice at that time. I remember very clearly that it was a very arrogant man. His tone of speech was very contemptuous, although he didn't look very good. "

Keir looked at Fanny: "Then if you see him again, can you recognize him? By the way, does that person have any characteristics?"

"Does it count as being ugly?"

Kiel rubbed his nose: "There are many people who are not good-looking, of course this is not counted. But if I bring him to you, can you recognize him?"

"Of course! I saw him kill the businessman with my own eyes. Although it's not the first time I've seen someone die, it's so sudden that I can't forget it." Fanny's young and thin face showed a strong Strong look of surprise.

It seemed that what happened last night was really hard for her to forget.

Keir looked at the sky, discussed with everyone, and finally decided that he and Mr. Pawei should go to the knight lord now and inform him of the matter. Look at how that Rusvis-Anvina knight plans to deal with the subordinate gangs arranged by the Thieves Guild to parasitize his territory.

As for the others, it was proposed by Mr. Pavey to have a meal at his house, then leave the town, and join the militiamen waiting to guard the corpse outside the town, waiting for news from Kiel.

Fanny, an important witness, originally wanted to leave, but Mr. Rubis had come from Mirror Water Ranch after fighting, so he should be temporarily guarded by them Kendalls.
