Chapter 179 Tavern Fight(1/2)
It is quite common for adventurers to encounter requests that are inconsistent with the actual situation. On the one hand, because the clients have no professional knowledge, they often cannot identify the real situation. On the other hand, due to communication and transportation problems, when adventurers receive
When completing a mission and rushing to the mission location, it will inevitably take a lot of time, and the situation will change over time.
At this time, it is necessary to discuss with the client to understand the latest developments, and it is even possible to renegotiate the remuneration issue.
To put it bluntly, you have to pay more.
Since this mission was given to the Adventurer School by Mu Xing City, there is definitely no chance of adding more money, but it is necessary to understand the information.
Perrenli's client is called Muto, who may be the mayor of The Hague. As for where this person is...
He originally planned to ask, but when he saw that the people at the port were moving to save people, Pei Renli thought it would be better not to cause trouble to them first and go to other places to ask.
The Hague Castle is in the shape of a staircase. The southernmost side is the port, and the northernmost side is the city wall built with the help of Muxing City to prevent the sea of trees from eroding. So going north means going up.
A small river meanders through the town, forming a stepped waterfall with a small height, and finally merges into the bay.
At this time, I turned around and looked back, and I could see a slender, slightly curved cliff extending from the land to the sea. This place originally called Stranded Town was renamed The Hague Castle because the cliff looked like a fang.
Since The Hague Castle is a small place and does not work day and night like the Star City, and there may be monsters in the sea recently, everyone may be hiding at home. Besides, it was already late at night when Pei Renli and the others arrived, and they were walking on the steps without street lights.
Going up, it's almost pitch black.
There are only two places in The Hague that still have lights on, one is the lighthouse built on top of the cliff, and the other looks like it should be a tavern.
Everyone was heading to the tavern, intending to ask about Muto's location and see if they could get some information.
Occasionally, you can see some people lying down or vomiting in the grass along the way. Judging from their clothing, they are probably sailors who are trapped in the port and cannot sail the ship. However, their mental state and drunkenness are different.
It really takes some courage to get close to Wei.
Pei Renli reached out and pushed open the movable door of the tavern. For a moment, the smell of alcohol, food, sweat, perfume, etc. mixed with the howling laughter hit his face.
This can be regarded as daily life in the tavern. People who want to escape from peace and quiet are best not to come to such a place.
After getting past some drunken sailors, they found an empty table that was empty. Kaya even asked a passing tavern girl for some bread or something.
One of the great advantages of Pei Renli is that he doesn't recognize his bed, and he doesn't seem to get seasick. Although the others are not seasick yet, they basically have no appetite for dinner, and they only feel hungry after they are down to earth.
Pei Renli left the three people eating alone and walked to the bar in the back of the tavern with his staff to sit down.
A fat lady who looked like she weighed two to three hundred pounds was leaning behind the bar. She noticed Pei Renli approaching. She first looked at Pei Renli's staff and then at his face, and asked quite unexpectedly:
"What to drink?"
Masters usually don't drink because they want to keep their heads clear, but Pei Renli thinks it's okay to have a drink. After all, it's time to go to bed after understanding the situation later, so it's just a drink to help with sleep.
Perhaps because Pei Renli didn't say anything, the aunt said again:
“Would you like some specialties from our town?”
"Okay, give me a drink."
The aunt quickly took a glass of wine from the wine barrel behind her, then touched a layer of large grains of sea salt on the rim of the wooden cup, and finally threw a slice of lemon into it.
This painting style feels very much like tequila, but the liquid is light blue, which reminds Pei Renli of Hai Zhiyan...
It tastes pretty good. It should be fruit wine made from some kind of fruit. The alcohol content is not very high.
"Are you adventurers? Come to the sea of trees to collect medicine?"
Occasionally, adventurers enter the Sea of Trees from The Hague Castle, because it is safer to enter from this way than from Naspar, at least without crossing the territory of the tree elves.
Of course, the same goes for entering from the east of the Big Tree Sea, so there are not many adventurers taking this road.
"We were commissioned to deal with the monsters blocking your harbor."
"Oh, is it true? Then you must be called here by Uncle Mu Tuo. I heard that I sent a letter to Mu Xing City a few days ago."
Upon hearing Pei Renli's intention, the tavern lady seemed to be even more enthusiastic.
Don't look at it, because the ship can't leave, her business here is booming. After all, Hague Castle is just a small town, and there are not many material reserves. It is impossible to feed so many people just relying on farmland and hunting outside the city, so it is most important to get through it as soon as possible.
of sea transport.
"What do you know about monsters in the sea?"
"It's all heard."
Auntie wiped the cup:
"Some said it was a big black fish, some said it was a sea snake, and some said it was a big shell or something, but no one had seen it with their own eyes."
Listening to this information is in vain.
"Uncle Muto has been collecting information about monsters. You can ask him later. This drink is for me."
Pei Renli expressed his gratitude:
"Where does Uncle Muto live?"
"Just..."
The tavern aunt said, her eyes drifting behind Pei Renli. When she turned around, she happened to see a few sailors who were obviously drunk leaning next to the table where Kaya and the others were sitting. It looked like they had drunk too much and came to stir up trouble.
But Pei Renli took one look and pretended not to see it.
"Aren't you going to help your comrade?"
Not really.
Perrenli didn't know much about Louisa's situation, but he knew that Kaya's fight against a sailor with only a handful of strength was basically like playing. Even the weakest Moen undergoes martial arts training at the Adventurer School every day.
No need to worry at all.
So Pei Renli said as if he was acting:
"It's boring for a little girl to eat by herself. How about having a few drinks with us brothers? Get out of here! Don't let me put the glass in your mouth. Hey, I'm giving you a drink to give you face, so don't be disrespectful.
"
Then Perenli made a slapping gesture, and almost at the same time, Kaya behind him picked up the wooden plate and slapped the sailor on the face along with the bread and fruits.
Seeing that it was just as he expected, Pei Renli shrugged at the tavern aunt.
"That's pretty much the process."
There was a fight from behind, and the tavern lady was not surprised:
"You seem to know your companions well."
At this moment, someone grabbed Pei Renli's cloak (newly bought) and lifted him up from the stool in front of the bar:
"I remember you! You were with them!"
The smell of alcohol and sweat was almost suffocating. Pei Renli glanced at the dry side, sighed, and said without taking it seriously:
"The first rule of tavern fights is, no weapons."
"What are you mumbling nonsense about?"
"The second rule of tavern fights, screw your rules and die!"
Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Pei Renli grabbed the wine glass and slapped it directly on the nose of the tall sailor. The light blue wine mixed with lemon juice and sea salt splashed on his face. The most terrible thing was that his nose was severely injured, and his tears and
A strong soreness and numbness went up to my head, and I couldn't open my eyes.
Almost at the same time, a hand patted his chest:
"Magic Missile!"
The exploding missile knocked the sailor backwards and hit the floor with a bang. Pei Renli picked up the stool and rushed towards Kaya.
Maybe it was because there was too much noise. What was originally just looking for trouble has now turned into a group fight. Perhaps seeing their companions suffer a loss, a few more sailors emerged from the crowd, but more people not only did not stop them, but instead started making noises.
Tavern fights are so common that they can even be watched as a drinking show.
At this time, Moen and Louisa, who had been sitting still, were also involved.
Louisa, who was sitting on the chair, did a backflip to avoid the sailor's fist, then raised her leg to hit with a flying knee. Moen was not that flexible, but while avoiding the fist, she still had the energy to pick up her piano and tune it.
Tuned.
"It's rare to have so many viewers listen to my new music."
Luisa rushed over from the side at this time, jumped up and hugged the sailor's arm with her whole body, and pressed hard. Facing the strength of her whole body, the sailor simply fell to the ground as if he had been hit by a stick.
Upon seeing this, Moen blew a kiss to Louisa, then played the lute and sang:
"I am a sailor who has traveled across the seven seas. As long as I have wine and rotten meat, my face will not change."
In line with his BGM, the cheering crowd started to beat the music.
And Kaya who got into a fight was a beat player in the physical sense.
Kicking the sailor over, he turned around and was about to deal with the man who attacked from behind, but he happened to see Pei Renli knocking the man down with a stool.
"I can handle it myself."
"I know you can handle it, but wouldn't it be nice to do a favor?"
In fact, Pei Renli came to help because he was afraid that Kaya would beat him to death.
From the first mission with Kaya, Perenli knew that this girl was very decisive in killing, and she was really unambiguous when it came time to kill.
