A sword

Chapter 8 at Victor's Tavern

Lance walked to the second floor with the pub clerk and suddenly felt much quieter. Although the size of this Victor pub is not too large, it is still elegant. The noise of the hall on the first floor is in sharp contrast to the cleanliness of the second floor. The clerk led Lance to the second floor and retreated back, and then a special waiter on the second floor immediately came forward to receive him. It can be seen that the management of the pub is strict and clear. Lance chose a window seat and sat down.

The waiter who came to ask first ordered a roast chicken and a small amount of braised meat. After thinking about it, he asked for the more distinctive rum here. In his previous life, Lance rarely drank. Because as a temple knight, he needed to maintain his concentration and vigilance most of the time. Today, after experiencing so many things, he plans to relax, drink some wine, eat some meat, and adjust himself.

Food and wine came soon, and Lance began to eat by himself, thinking about things while eating. He tore the roast chicken meat and sent it to his mouth. This familiar taste made him think: in a mission, he and his friends of the Knights of the Temple tracked down a warcraft that had attacked human villages many times in the bloody wilderness in the northern part of the continent, and traced to the northern part of the wilderness. There was no food to eat in the cold environment. How did they resist the wind? Cold, eating dry food and sticking forward. And the wild turkey caught on the way back after killing the warcraft. That night, he and his team members enjoyed a long-lost and delicious turkey. He also thought that one day before the implementation of the Thunder Sword Project, he promised his companions that the temple would have a long vacation when he came back this time. Go home and have a good drink in the best pub in the empire; I'm still thinking about...

"Du"... "Du"... "Dud"... "Bang" and "Bang"... At the stairs, I suddenly remembered a sound of footsteps going upstairs, which interrupted Lance's thinking.

Huh? Judging from the footsteps upstairs, the sound is a little noisy, but it is going up the stairs at the same time, which proves that the people who go upstairs at this time should be together, and it is a group of no more than five people. Judging from the light and steady footsteps at the beginning, it should be a martial artist, and the footsteps walking in the back are slightly light. It seems that it should be an aristocratic woman..." Lance inferred in his heart as he listened. This is the beginning of Lance's occupational disease. As a knight of the temple, he always has to carry out tracking and reconnaissance tasks, so as soon as he hears footsteps, he begins to infer unnaturally.

"Well, miss, I didn't expect that the pubs nearby were all full today, so we had to come here for dinner. I have never been to this Victor pub before. Who knows how the food is cooked? Oh, and what's more, the women downstairs are really annoying. They dress so revealingly, talking and laughing among men. It's really shameless..."

Lance listened to the sound and looked over. The first thing that appeared were two powerful warriors with knives. They walked up to the second floor first, and then looked around to ensure safety and then got out of the way. At first glance, it is a well-trained bodyguard in the big family.

Then, two women came up, one of whom was slightly shorter and had not yet begun to develop. She looked only about 14 years old and wore a maid's costume. Lance looked at the girl standing beside her and was stunned. Her blonde hair, and her clothes are gorgeous but not luxurious. She is tall and beautiful with a smile on her face. When she stands there, she suddenly makes people feel gorgeous, which is really beautiful. Even if Lance's heart is a little stunned.

"Miss, you are talking." The girl who had been chattering before coming up from the stairs spoke again. Although she was wearing the maid's costume, looking at her intimacy with her young lady could feel that she had a very good relationship with the girl next to her.

"Ha ha, Bonnie, how do you know if this pub is good if you haven't been here?" The blonde girl smiled and pointed to the head of the little girl next to her and said. It's actually normal for the surrounding pubs to be full, because two major events have happened recently. As she spoke, she motioned the warriors to find seats and sit down.

'It turns out that this little girl's name is Booney, which is really lively...' Lance thought.

Although the second floor of Victor Tavern is much cleaner than the first floor, the seats are actually almost full. The remaining vacant table is the table behind Lance. The blonde girl looked and found that there was only one table empty, so she motioned the group to go over. The blonde girl glanced at Lance when she passed by.

Although Lance's appearance is handsome, it is not his appearance that can attract the attention of the beautiful woman. Instead, he sat there alone on the second floor of the pub. It's just a simple sitting, but it flows into a little depth that doesn't match her age, which is a little different, which makes the girl look curiously.

It is indeed rare for a person like Lance to appear in such a high-end area on the second floor of a pub. If you are a single samurai, they generally like to drink in a lively hall, and all rich young masters are dressed luxuriously. They are either fox friends or companions or wine girls. Of course, there are samurai attendants. It is indispensable. And Lance's clothes are very simple, and he doesn't look like a warrior or an aristocratic young master, but it is indeed rare for a person to appear alone in a high-end area such as the second floor of the pub to eat meat and drink wine alone. Therefore, the noble girl is also a little curious.

The four of them sat down at the table behind Lance, and the blonde girl asked the two warriors to sit down together, showing her affinity. You should know that in the empire, warriors can't eat at the same table without the permission of their masters.

"Miss, why do you say that it is normal for the pubs nearby to be full, and what are the two major things you mentioned?" The little maid of the blonde girl, Booney, continued her chater...

"Well, the two major events are the reason why the taverns in the imperial capital are now full of people. Not only the pubs, but also the nearby chambers of commerce and hotels have suddenly increased a lot of people. This is because outstanding young people from all over the country and their family's samurai followers sent to protect them have recently come here. Part of them came to participate in today's temple knight selection. As the people of the empire, it would be a great honor to enter the temple. The blonde girl said.

"Well, what's the other thing? I also found that there have been a lot of people in the city recently, but most of them are young people." Bunny said.

"Well, the selection of temple knights has attracted nearly 1,000 people to the imperial capital; and another thing is called a grand event, that is, the college's enrollment this year! Large and small families, young warriors and scholars from all over the country have recently come to the imperial capital in order to be able to participate in the admission of the college in the new year. Imperial College enrolls students every two years. This year, the selection of the Knights of the Temple was held at the same time, and the two prosperous times were held in such a short time, which caused a sharp increase in the number of people in the imperial capital. The blonde girl answered Bonnie.

"Ah, I see. Last year, when I went to church with the lady and the master to attend the ceremony, I saw the temple knights present. They were all so heroic and bold. Hee." Bonnie said, and then thought for a moment and said, "Ah, by the way, Miss is also going to prepare for the college entrance examination this year."

The blonde woman nodded with a smile and was about to say something. At this time, a sound of footsteps came from downstairs. Before the person appeared, the voice had already spread.

"Oh, my God, Ai Jialin, when I heard the sound, I knew you must be upstairs. We were really predestined to meet here." As soon as the voice fell, a white-faced boy rushed to the second floor. At the same time, two samurai in samurai uniforms appeared. Standing around it, it could be seen at a glance that it was his samurai entourage.

The man's voice was very loud, and the tone of his speech was extremely exaggerated, which made people a little unpleasant. Lance suddenly raised his eyebrows and glanced at his voice.

I saw a white-faced young man wearing luxurious clothes. Although his figure was tall, he was not thick. His face was a little pale. It could be seen that it was caused by excessive wine and color, but his footsteps were still powerful. Lance could see that the other party should have had special martial arts training.

"Oh, miss, it's Zhan Keli. He followed this annoying guy wherever we went and said he was predestined. I think he secretly followed us." The little girl named Booney said in a low voice to the young lady.

"Okay, Bonnie, don't say anything." Her maid was pulled down by a blonde woman called Agaline by a young man who had just walked up to the second floor.

"Miss Agaline, it's really nice to see you here." The young man named Zhanli said as he walked towards Agaline. I happen to have a lot of questions about mainland history and fighting spirit that I want to discuss with you.

"Well, Zhanli is very happy for your learning. But as you can see, our table is full. Why don't we discuss it another day when we have time? Agaline spread out her hands.

Is this girl's name Garlene? Well, her name is quite beautiful, and she doesn't have the bad temper of an ordinary noble lady. Her voice is touching. Lance thought while eating when he heard it.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the young man named Zhanli glanced at Lance after a week.

The seats on the second floor were full at this time. After looking around, he found that there were many people at each table, and only Lance sat there eating and drinking, and there was no samurai entourage beside him. If you take a closer look, you will find that the clothes he wears are neat but not luxurious at all. The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't want to let go of the opportunity to get close to Agaline. He walked towards Lance and said, "Brother, excuse me. These two floors are full, come on! I'll give you 20 gold coins and pay for your meal. What do you think of giving me your seat now?

Lance didn't even look at him and shook his head and said, "It's not good."

The young Zhanli's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He had been spoiled since he was a child. His father was high and powerful. His family spoiled him, and outsiders flattered him. Even those fox friends with the same status would talk to him kindly. He didn't expect this seemingly civilian man to talk to him like this. He suddenly felt a ghost fire all over his body.

"Oh? So, are you not going to give up?" Zhan Keli gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious smile that he had decided that even if the person in front of him was soft now, he would let him know what would end up to offend himself. Gold coins will never exist, and he will also let the warriors punish this stupid guy.
