He turned to Tampa: "Who is he?"

Tampa was stunned for a moment.

"Is that the reason?"

"This is very important. You are the master here and you should understand him." Ricky said silently.

Tampa took a deep breath.

"This is too long ago. In the 'Big Nine' more than 20 years ago, I was just a bitter idiot..."

He shrugged: "How could you possibly know?"

Ricky blinked and nodded kindly.

"You may indeed be under age, but..."

The mercenary leader leaned forward with a confident expression on his face.

"This is 'my home'."

Tampa looked confused: "So what, this is a tavern, not a secret service."

Ricky snorted coldly.

"You know, you have a pretty good sign."

Tampa stiffened slightly.

"More than two hundred years ago, the first supreme queen in history appeared in the stars. Eliga Brightstar, who succeeded and was crowned as the eldest princess, once defeated the Exeter people, retreated in panic, and even had to

Don’t shrink the borders and give up the cold fortress.”

"This is the origin of the joke: Only under the leadership of women and children can the Star Kingdom defeat Exeter, whether it is Sumer I who died at the age of twelve, Queen Esola who went to battle in person, or Iron Thorn

The Queen Mother, Queen Elliga, and the nearest Flower of the Fortress.”

After listening to Ricky's words, the masked man snorted disdainfully.

"Northern Conqueror" Alicia.

Thales had heard of this history.

Of course, this is from the perspective of the "righteous indignation" of the people in the North:

It is said that Princess Alicia has a dissolute nature and boundless desires. Before she was crowned, she had difficulty getting married because of her poor reputation and her illegitimate son whose biological father was a mystery. For the sake of power, she even used her beauty and body to seduce her enemies and instigate them to support her crown.

He even insidiously and obscenely tempted Sid Hustel, the wise King of Exeter, who sternly rejected the queen's "gaudy beauty and ugly heart" ("No" Thales

History book note 4) After that, he insisted on the interests and integrity of the Northlanders, but was captured by the angry "Bitch Queen" ("From the Last Castle to Eternal Star City, arrested across provinces" Tails' history

Book Note 13), unfortunately fell into her clutches ("The body is very honest" Taylor's History Book Note 15), was locked up in the castle, imprisoned all year round, tortured every night, and suffered all the humiliation (every time I read

At this point, the little naughty guy will curiously ask Thales why he laughs so weirdly).

At the same time, the despicable and shameless Star People secretly gathered their troops and took the opportunity to attack. They were worried about the king's safety ("Why is he not dead yet?" Note 24 of Thales's History Book). The Ekster people were leaderless and scattered.

He resisted, fought bravely, and built an unyielding defense line in front of the Cold Fortress ("Then the Cold Fortress was lost" Note 37 of Thales's history book), and finally shattered the Star's 'Bitch Queen''s conspiracy to enslave the North.

By the way, the history book filled with Thales's nonsense and private notes was eventually discovered by Lady Jinx. As the Grand Duke's bodyguard, Lord Nicolai was filled with emotion after reading it. After reading it, he was so impressed that he decided to let it be included in the book.

The queue of firewood in the fireplace contributes a little to the warmth of the Palace of Heroes in the cold winter.

Thales shook his head and brought his attention back to his eyes.

Ricky continued: "But Alicia's later years were not very happy: her compatriot brother raised an army to seize the throne as the 'Northern Conqueror', and had no choice but to go into exile in the Western Wilderness. She was depressed amidst the day after day siege and endless betrayals.

end."

"The forces loyal to Queen Ellija fled to the Blade Tooth Sand Dunes. With the tacit approval of the Duke of West Wasteland, they were neither willing to serve the brutal 'Red King' and join his repeated conquests and counter-rebellions, nor were they willing to just do this.

They were buried in silence in a distant land, so they chose to continue fighting for the Duke and the country on the western border in the name of mercenaries."

Ricky pointed to the door and said with a smile: "This is the 'Queen Alicia's Last Wine Glass'."

Tampa took a deep breath.

"This is also the glorious history that the mercenaries of the Western Wilderness had or thought they had. From then on, this tavern, 'my house', was the unexplainable dispatch center for the mercenaries in the Western Wilderness."

Ricky stared at him intently: "For more than two hundred years, there have been political changes and the rotation of thrones, but 'my home' has always been the center of the mercenaries in the Western Wilderness and the holy place in the hearts of many people."

"And you, Tampa, just like the previous owners here, you took over the position and information of the previous boss, wandering between black and white, acting as a middleman in this mercenary holy land, while being in contact with the official forces in the camp

, on the one hand, it provides shelter, introduces jobs, and guarantees the rights of mercenaries who are outside the kingdom and the law."

"Every mercenary or corps with some qualifications who comes to Blade Tooth Camp will come here to say hello to local snakes and make connections. Therefore, you know the profile and even details of almost every mercenary group. As long as they have visited here and looked for business,

A record will be left.”

Tampa exhaled slowly.

"In this chaotic camp, you may not be the most powerful person, Tampa, but you are definitely the one who knows the most." Ricky's eyes turned sharp: "Maybe, you still know a lot.

A little too much.”

"Look, we didn't come to you for no reason."

Tampa frowned tightly.

"Now, tell me, Tampa."

"who is he?"

"Where are you now?"

Ricky whispered: "The leader of the nine giants who uses the sword."

Clay and the masked man at the same table also turned to Tampa, staring at the tavern owner from both sides.

The eyes of the mercenaries became more and more terrifying.

Tampa gritted his teeth and his expression twitched.

But he still shook his head: "No, what happened more than 20 years ago is too long, and they disbanded long ago. I can't even think about it..."

Ricky's smile slowly disappeared.

"It seems that you do not realize our determination to come here today."

He said coldly.

After saying this, Ricky nodded slightly to Marina.

Marina showed a mysterious smile and put her hands on the shoulders of the two new guests.

Thales and Quick Rope turned their heads and looked at her doubtfully.

What is this for?

But the next moment, Thales felt a biting cold coming from wherever Marina pressed her palm!

Straight into the whole body!

Thales trembled.

cold.

Extreme cold.

It was like someone suddenly replaced all his blood with ice water.

Flow throughout the blood vessels.

At that moment, Thales' face turned pale.

This is……

Not only that, the cold also brought an unbearable dull pain, like a pair of brothers charging desperately regardless of retreat, violent and crazy, attacking his nerves inch by inch.

Oops!

Realizing that something was wrong, Thales shrank up and tried to resist this terrifying force.

Quick Rope's reaction was faster than his.

"Ahhhhhh" the former Prince Exeter screamed!

I saw Kuai Sheng's eyes widening, his expression frightened and painful, as if he had seen the legendary Prison River Ferryman.

His face twisted in the strange coldness.

Tampa stared at the two tortured people in stunned silence.

The mercenaries looked calm and even smiled, as if they were used to it.

Thales also gritted his teeth in pain: this coldness made him extremely uncomfortable, but his whole body was numb and he could not get rid of it.

At this moment.

boom!

A power that had been dormant for several days suddenly woke up from Thales' body!

The sin of the Hell River was like a beast coming out of the sluice or a flood bursting out of the embankment, reacting at an explosive speed and rhythm, filling Thales's body.
