Chapter 13 Conflict

Money is a hero!

With a heavy money bag full of 165 gold coins, Lao Lei felt that his waist was much stiffer.

In addition to earning enough money to make the crazy hammer tribe through the harsh winter, the greater gain for Leon is to set up a reputable and reliable sales channel - Forest Fox is worthy of being a business that can be recognized by others. Even if Leon repeatedly raises the price on the basis of the other party's price, the manager, Jays is also Be patient and bargain with him.

With this huge amount of money, Leon was not in a hurry to go to the grain shop to complete the transaction, but came to a bar on the same street as the firm.

Blackstone Town is really not big. The bustling area is all concentrated around the town's central square. It only takes a few steps to get there from here.

It's noon now. The oak gate is carved with axe, swords and thorns. The bar called Warriors' Paradise has a very good business. When Leon pushed the door in, he saw that more than a dozen wine tables inside were almost full of people, and only a few wooden stools in front of the bar were still empty.

The bar is not big. The low house makes the tall Leon feel that he can't lift his head. Round wooden wine barrels are piled up high on one side, with a primitive and rough atmosphere in the humble.

Obviously, it is not civilians who come here to consume. Rude adventurers, proud mercenaries, smiling gray camel merchants, wandering artists carrying harps... and even a few mages in gray robes are among them - in fact, they are precisely magician apprentices.

Adventurers and mercenaries drank and ate meat and shouted, which made the atmosphere in the bar very noisy. Several women with heavy makeup shuttled through it to sell ale, and did not mind a hand that only touched and pinched their buttocks.

To be honest, when he was used to the five big three hairy bear aunts and hairy girls in the crazy hammer tribe, and then saw these bar girls with average appearance but hot and exposed figure, Leon's eyes were a little hot.

However, these bar girls were not interested in Leon. When he came in, only a few adventurers sitting near the door glanced at them, and then turned back impulsent, including contemptuous eyes.

Removing the little thought in his heart, Leon sat down in front of the bar.

"Barbarian, what do you want? We pay in advance here!" The chubby bartender behind the bar asked coldly, looking at Leon as if he were looking at a white celer.

"A barbecue and a good maiju!" Leon patted a gold coin on the bar: "By the way, I want to inquire about more information."

According to the experience told by Elder Monstein, the bar where mercenary adventurers are mixed with is a gathering place for all kinds of news. The bartenders who are equivalent to the role of siding are often one of the most well-informed people, and their main income comes from this.

The standard one-eighth of an ounce of gold coin flashed with a seductive light on the dark wooden platform, but its brilliance only shone for a moment, and then it was taken away by a fat hand.

"Guest, please wait a moment."

Rich and rich people are popular everywhere. Even a goblin can get enough courtesy. As soon as this gold coin is used, the bartender's attitude immediately changed from cold autumn and winter to warm spring and summer, and his smile floated on his round face.

The ale and barbecue were served quickly. The golden meat was even sprinkled with a little spices, which made people's fingers move, and the foamy ale was like beer.

Leon ate happily while chatting with the bartender.

The power of money is infinite, and a gold coin is enough for a small town bartender to say everything.

During the conversation, Leon learned that the Blackstone town is located at the junction of the Kingdom of Otto and the Duchy of Rourko. Due to its geographical location, although there are not many residents in the town, there are many mercenary adventurers and businessmen.

Blackstone Town belongs to the territory of Samuel, the hereditary viscount of the Kingdom of Otto. Although the viscount's castle is located in Farrell hundreds of miles away, it still has strong control over Blackstone Town.

There is an elite territorial guard stationed in the town. Captain Celtic is a family knight with enough force to ensure the peace of the town.

"Look, it's your first time to come to Blackstone Town. Remember not to make trouble in the town. The knight will hang anyone who dares to challenge his authority on a wooden rack outside the town..." The bartender warned, "Of course, no one will take care of it outside the town. The south is the territory of the Principality of Roco."

Leon nodded and remembered in his heart that knights, like warriors, are warriors who have mastered the power of fighting spirit. They are equivalent to orc soul warriors, far from ordinary adventurers or mercenaries.

Unlike warriors, knights not only represent strength, but also have the status of aristocrats. They can only be rewarded by defecting to the family or entering the army. Some meritorious knights can even establish their own knights.

The bar welcomes guests from south to north every day. The bartender is knowledgeable and talkative. From his mouth, Leon heard many customs and rumors about the New World, and has a much deeper understanding of the world.

Between the two chatting, the door of the bar was pushed open again, and a team of five or six adventurers came in.

Adventurers and mercenaries belong to the civil force of this world, especially the human race. They take accepting various tasks as their main source of income, hunting monsters, finding lost treasures, guarding caravans, helping towns to exorcise monsters, participating in battles as mercenaries, etc.

However, mercenaries are a regular and officially recognized force organization. A mercenary regiment has its own station, strict system and discipline, and the cost of employment is relatively high.

The source of adventurers is much more complicated. There are down-and-out warriors, warriors, wanted fugitive criminals, and even defeated knights. There are many but both good and bad, and their reputation is far less than that of mercenaries, which is cheaper than the price of employment.

The most important difference between the two is that mercenaries have their own team badges. From the badges, you can see that they belong to the mercenary regiment, while adventurers are not. If necessary, they don't mind covering their faces and playing the role of banditry.

When the team of adventurers came in, the bar was already full of guests. The soldier walking in the front with a tomahawk on his back frowned and glanced around. When he saw the position of the bar, his eyes lit up.

He took a few steps forward and slapped Leon on the shoulder in front of the bar.

"Hey, barbarian, let's go, we're going to sit here!"

There are still three or four vacaly seats next to Leon, just enough to sit down with the new adventurers.

Looking for death! A fierce light flashed in Leon's eyes, but he did not burst out immediately, but turned his head to look at the other party and said in a low voice, "Take off your claws and apologize!"

His reaction was beyond the expectation of the adventurer. The axe warrior was stunned at first, then exerted his right hand and sneered, "Barbarian, do you want to die?"

He saw that Leon was alone and a barbarian. Neither the costumes nor the weapons were worth mentioning, so there was no psychological burden to bully him.

Originally, I thought that Leon would give up his position obediently, but he didn't expect to hit a hard nail, which made him want to give Leon a good look, otherwise how could he step down in front of so many people?

The axe warrior is very confident about his hand strength. Don't look at Leon's burly figure. It's not a problem for him to crush Leon's shoulder bones with his strength.

But the reality gave the axe warrior a ruthless mockery. No matter how hard he tried, Leon's shoulders were as hard as copper cast iron, which could not be shaken at all.

"Ah! ~”

The axe warrior let out a scream. He could not crush Leon's shoulder bones, but was grabbed by Leon's wrist.

Leon's hand was as hard as iron pliers. Under the grip, all the people next to him heard the crisp sound of bone cracks. The axe warrior blushed with severe pain and almost knelt on the ground.

If Leon, who didn't know the situation when he first entered Blackstone Town, didn't mind playing a turtle who had just come from the countryside, then now he is not a rookie.

The world pays more attention to the respect of the strong, and those who are cowardly will never be respected by others.

With the screams of the axe warrior, the whole bar was silent, and everyone's eyes were attracted.

"Barbarian, let go of House!"

"Are you going to die?"

...

The companions of several axe warriors in the back woke up from a dream and cursed loudly. A thief even pulled out the dagger capital. It seemed that he was ready to go up and stab Leon at any time.

"Get out!"

Leon shouted in a low voice, and his arm suddenly pushed forward. The axe warrior flew up and hit back on one of his companions.

Both of them almost became rolling gourds, and they were as embarrassed as possible.

Reon's move completely angered the adventurers. Another soldier pulled out his sword, while a mage apprentice standing at the back raised his staff, and a battle was about to break out.

Leon's right hand fell on the tiger stabbing saber and stared at his opponent coldly.

There are five people on the other side, two warriors, an archer, a thief, and a mage apprentice, which is a standard adventure team.

He doesn't care about the opponent's warrior archer, but he is a little afraid of the seemingly weak mage apprentice, because Leon has heard Elder Munstein say more than once that the magician is powerful, and even the apprentice can't be underestimated.

If a battle breaks out, he must first kill the mage's apprentice!

But the battle did not happen. The bartender standing behind the bar roared loudly, "Adventurers, how dare you use force here? Don't you know the rules of Blackstone? If you don't get out of here immediately, the Celtic Knights will put you all into prison!"
