Chapter 42, Bar Fight(1/2)

In Cormyr, the conflict between the Navy and the Army has been going on for a long time.

The Kingdom of Cormyr is located in the middle of the country and is a country that exports a large amount of goods. The kingdom is not very dependent on foreign imports. The goods imported in large quantities are only glass, spices and ivory, while the bulk export trade includes armor, ivory products,

Clothing, coal, food, weapons, wood.

Cormyr has enabled the kingdom to earn huge profits through a large amount of exports, but this has also caused dissatisfaction among many neighbors. For example, Zambia in the east has had many frictions with Cormyr over trade matters, and the two sides have also had direct conflicts over territorial disputes.

Diplomatic relations were severed, and there were countless small-scale armed fights on the border.

The Moon Sea region in the north is also very hostile to Cormyr. The Moon Sea city-state centered on Zhentil Keep has always been under the control of a well-known evil organization "Zhentarim". The highest goal of the Zhentarim is to completely

It monopolizes all trade in the Moon Sea region and even the entire northern part of the country. For this reason, this organization has fought many wars with Cormyr.

There are rumors that the orc tribe occupying the city of Arabel in the north is funded by the Zhentarim, but there is no evidence.

The activity frequency of the Zhentarim has dropped significantly in recent years, because Bane, the god of tyranny behind it, has died in the Cataclysm of the Saints, and the Zhentarim have doubts about their loyalty to Cyric, who inherited Bane's priesthood.

To the south is Dragon Lake, and only the Sword Coast area to the west can trade.

Therefore, many places were blocked by land, and sea routes greatly affected the kingdom's trade, and the role of the navy became increasingly important.

The navy always looks down on the army: we can make blood for the kingdom! Without us protecting the routes, where would the kingdom's economy and trade prosperity come from?

The army also looks down on the navy: Can your broken sampan go to land? Where was the navy when we fought bloody battles to defend Arabelle? Where was the navy when we fought the orcs in the forest?

Aaron thought that military spending is like a cake. If the army is cut more, the navy will be less. Similarly, if the navy is more, the army will be less.

This is Xiacheng District. Both sides glanced at each other a few times and maintained restraint. They each sat down around a few tables. No one said hello to the other or provoked the other.

After the recruits sat down, Aaron found that most of them were stern. Some recruits had obviously never experienced such an occasion. They tried to maintain restraint and did not want their actions to arouse the ridicule of the marines next to them. Other recruits stared at the people next to the bar.

Cat lady watch.

"There is a waiter here who believes in the goddess of cats and dancing. He is very popular!" someone whispered.

Aaron immediately noticed a very cute cat lady standing in front of the bar to attract customers, with drinks on the tray and the cat ears on her head twitching.

What's even more interesting is that Cat Lady's cat ears are real - she's clearly a lycanthrope.

A sign hung around her neck read "Purified, not contagious."

Cat girl? Why not a bunny girl? Aaron thought to himself that cat girls are not bad, they are so cute!

A new recruit stared at Cat Girl fiercely. Aaron remembered that his name was Ramsay, and he was also from out of town. He was like a newborn, looking around and curious about everything.

Haver went to the bar and asked for a drink.

"Is this really where we should come?" Ramsey stared at Cat Girl excitedly: "I remember that the Knights did not allow recruits to come to this kind of place, right?"

"As long as they don't say we can't come, of course we can come." Aaron said casually: "Don't put yourself in a trap, brother, this is Susar, not a military camp."

"If you are so worried, you can go back to the fortress now, Ramsay." A recruit next to him said.

Roswell, the tailor's son.

"Oh my god, Ilmat, I've never seen such a cute...cat girl." The Purple Dragon recruit from the countryside looked like a pig, staring at the cat girl's thighs and drooling: "King City

The world is so wonderful!”

"Oh, please, in the name of the God of Suffering, wipe your saliva, Ramsey!" Moore from Shenhai Town couldn't help it: "Your performance shames your God!"

"Don't be so strict, buddy." Havel came with the waiter and several large trays of "Water of Amn" beer: "Today is a party."

The Water of Amn is an expensive and mellow beer that is very common in the northern part of the country and the Sword Coast region. People give it a resounding nickname of "Welcome Wine".

A whole barrel (about 10 liters) of Amn Water is worth 36 gold coins, and Aaron will spend a little money today.

"To health, to honor, and to the test in a few months, cheers!"

"Cheers!" The recruits raised their glasses together.

After a few sips of beer, the atmosphere was naturally quite heated. Seeing a few recruits still staring at the bunny girl, Havel simply took out a handful of silver coins from his body and said, "Here they are, sit down and have a drink with our brothers!"

"Okay, meow~" Cat Girl felt the weight of the silver coins with satisfaction, glanced at the bar, spun around lively and sat down, drinking down a 500ml large beer glass in one gulp: "One more glass

Meow!"

"Hahahahahahahaha!" The recruits burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became even more heated.

The waiters brought the food one plate after another from the back kitchen, the aroma was overflowing and the wine was foaming.

"Look, Aaron, do you know who the guy in purple clothes with gold stars on his shoulders is among those Navy idiots?" Havre secretly pointed to the Navy side.

"Who?" Aaron was actually a little interested, but he really didn't recognize that person.

"Gordon, the grandson of Duke Marelli." Havre said with a bad smile: "We are very lucky today, in every sense of the word."

"Oh? He is Gordon, the grandson of Duke Marelli?" Aaron's heart moved.

There are two actual dukes in Cormyr, namely the Duke of Ireland and the Duke of Marelli. The former he has met and established friendship with, the latter... It is a pity that since he chose to be close to the Duke of Ireland, he is destined to have sex with the Duke of Marelli.

Bad relationship.

Then let’s get some excitement!

The power of Slaanesh in Aaron's body that had calmed down due to the improvement of the sorcerer's professional level began to become restless again.

He suddenly stood up in front of everyone's eyes and patted his chest: "Brothers, let me perform a song for you, okay?"

"Okay!" the recruits cheered together.

"Come!" Aaron came to the stage, still drunk, and gently pushed away the bard who was performing on it. He took out a gold coin from his body and handed it to him, pointing to the tambura in his hand.

"Of course, sir!" The bard looked at the sword on Aaron's waist, handed the piano to Aaron without hesitation, and walked off the stage with the money: "Don't break it, sir."

"Haha~ Today I will perform a song for all my friends here. I hope you all like it." Aaron hung the piano around his neck and shouted in a very coquettish way: "Shalish Palace!"

The new recruits of the Purple Dragon kept shouting wildly, while the navy was silent.

In fact, Aaron can't play an instrument at all.

But it doesn't matter, Slaanesh does.

As his fingers began to play with the strings, sweet music inexplicably sounded from every corner of the Longya Bar.

"Driving on the dark and desolate road~the cool breeze blows my hair~

A strong musky smell~fills the air~

Looking up into the distance~I saw lights flashing~

My head is getting heavier and my vision is getting blurry~

I had to stop and look for a place to spend the night~

He (She? It? Him!) is waving to me ~ I hear the church bells ~

I said to myself in my heart ~ This is heaven and hell ~

At this time he lit a candle for me and showed me the way~

There were echoes in the circular theater~I thought I heard someone saying~

Welcome to Salish's palace~

What a lovely place ~ What a lovely face ~

There are so many guest rooms in Salis Palace~

No matter what time of the year you can find it here~”

Music is a common language for all mortals.

When Aaron first started playing, the naval officers responded with indifference, but as the melody continued, even the naval officers who were most hostile to him couldn't help but clap their hands in applause.

At the end of the song, Aaron returned the tambura to the bard.

He knows more about charm casting.

If warlocks attract magic and project their will through the power of their own blood, then bards influence the world through poetry and music.

This is a profession that is easy to learn but difficult to master. It has everything, knows a little bit of everything, is difficult to master, and is relatively dependent on teammates.

No wonder the bard has the smallest number of legends.

"I want to see your boss." Aaron said calmly when he found the bartender behind the bar.

Relying on the shock brought by the song "Salix Palace" that just covered the entire tavern, the Viscount got his wish.

The leader of the Dragon Tooth Gang is named Ma Long. He is a strong man who looks to be in his early thirties. He is over two meters tall. He has a very strong and strong figure. He has the strongest upper body Aaron has ever seen, with bronzed muscles.

Covered with scars.

As the weather was getting hotter and hotter, the leader of the Dragon Tooth Gang was only wearing a short vest and shorts common to sailors. His round black eyes were full of confusion and indifference as he stared at Ya, who was brought to the third floor by the bartender.

Lun.

"Actually, I don't welcome you very much, Lord Viscount Salian." Malone opened the bottle of rum. The gang leader didn't seem to have any due respect for the nobles of Sousal: "I don't want to see you either.

"

"Do you recognize me?" Aaron sat down naturally and stretched out his hand to indicate that he also wanted a drink.

"You are somewhat of a celebrity in Susar." Malone shook his head: "As for respect, Your Majesty the Viscount, let's keep it simple. If you are here to arrest me on behalf of the royal family, then my respect is worthless.
