Chapter 1869 Listening to the Story
To the east of the village, there is an open-air restaurant. It is not entirely open-air. Because there are too many people coming to dine, the tables have to be placed outside. There are not even enough tables. Everyone had to sit on the floor. Fortunately, this restaurant has plenty of ingredients, so everyone who comes can enjoy wine and meat.
There were all kinds of people here, different races, different skin colors, and people from all walks of life. However, although we were dining in a restaurant, it was naturally divided into several different areas. Generally speaking, civilians who are fleeing have a meal, and those who take care of their children communicate with each other from time to time, but their voices are not loud and they don't talk much. The guests at the tables sitting on the corridor of the restaurant are relatively neat and well-dressed, and there are only three people sitting at each table. Although the five people ate together, they hardly communicated with each other; and the group of guests under the grass slope were different. They were dressed in ordinary clothes, wearing anything, and they talked very much. They talked and laughed from time to time, and most of the time they just drank. They were more like people in the village, familiar with each other, and chatting about home affairs. The most lively ones were the mercenaries who liked to make noise and drink, and some sergeants who had lost their homes. , these people are the most numerous, many of them come from all over the world, speak with different accents, speak at the loudest voice, listen to each other’s different stories, and tell jokes that everyone likes.
Bing Zhixie is among this group of people. He has not been exposed to outside news for a while, especially when the natural disaster occurred. He was trapped in the secret dark hall, so he wanted to know more about it. Let’s take a look at what happened outside during this time.
The thing that the mercenaries and travelers talked about the most was the natural disaster. The Holy Garden invited the world's top magicians to fight against the natural disaster in Water Kingdom. The story comes up. Although this place is thousands of miles away from the Vought Country, and they have no chance to witness that incident, the news always spreads faster than expected. They can vividly tell every famous person who participated in that incident, and even tell what those big people experienced in Fort Merlot, although it is certain that these stories are mixed with a lot of water.
The most unexpected news that Bing Zhixie heard was that the leader of the Holy Garden, the great sage Sahur Dawson, had died and was murdered under a conspiracy. Speaking of the name of Sahul Dawson, everyone in the world who studies magic knows it. Although everyone does not know how strong the great sage is, he can be ranked first among the sages. Naturally, Possess extraordinary abilities. How could such a man be killed? Still murdered!
No one among the mercenaries chatting animatedly came up with a clear answer, so the conclusions were all guesses. And the most discussed one is who killed the great sage? But everyone is making random guesses and cannot give a credible result.
"Hey, don't talk about these topics that we haven't seen with our own eyes. Let's change the topic and talk about some interesting things that we have experienced personally." A man with a tower shield on his back and a pair of gloves on his waist The female mercenary with the sword glanced around at everyone with her brown eyes.
"Then do you have any commendable personal experiences that you can share with us, Leah?" A man tilted his hand to his chin, a little bored, but still asked in a very cooperative manner.
Leah bent down, resting her elbows on the wooden pile that was used as a table, pretending to be mysterious and said: "I accidentally met a member of the Dragon Kingdom in Zuli last month."
"Hey, that's it? You thought it was something new." Most people were not interested and just immersed themselves in eating.
Someone said: "There are not many people in the 7S mercenary group. They perform tasks in various places and encounter many extraordinary people. Not everyone in 7S is very famous, and most of them are like us. He is still unknown, at most he is using the 7S brand name and has a little fame. Speaking of which, I have seen an S-level mercenary in person, and I am very familiar with him. He is not from 7S. "
Leah explained anxiously: "It's not an ordinary member, it's a big role, Xuelong Nafeis. I saw him in person! He even shook my hand at that time. He was really... really... so handsome. It was the first time in my life that I met such an attractive man."
Everyone rolled their eyes: " Your focus is on being 'handsome', right?"
"Uh, that's not important." Leah said awkwardly: "I'm just surprised that he is still alone after such a big thing happened in the Dragon Kingdom. What are you doing here? It seems like the Kingdom of Dragon didn’t even send people to the Holy Garden to invite the world’s capable people to fight against the meteor disaster, but Ye Mingzhu and God’s Will sent people to do it. He was involved in that incident." Someone said, "Lea, how do you know they didn't send anyone there? Maybe someone did, but they were not involved in activating the ultimate weapon because they were not great magicians. 'In the plan. So many of the most famous people in the world went to Walter's Fort Merlot, and most of them were not there to watch the excitement. ”
Leah shook her head: "There are a lot of news about Castle Mero. Anyway, I haven't heard of any famous figures from the Dragon Kingdom going there."
Someone asked again: "Hey , what did you say before, something so big happened in the Dragon Kingdom? "
"Yes, what's the matter?" Someone echoed and asked: "When I was in the guild giving tasks, I was listening to people talking about the Dragon Kingdom. I didn't listen carefully at the time. Did something big happen to them? ?”
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. A few of them hesitated to speak, but they didn’t seem to understand clearly.
"Ah, don't you all know?" Lea said in surprise: "As mercenaries, don't you usually pay attention to what happens to the strongest mercenary group?"
"You said What's more, the sudden death of the old leader of the Dragon Kingdom caused a turmoil within them for power, right?" A man wearing a black corset robe, with raven-blond hair, a tall and handsome appearance, and a cold face said coldly. said.
This man who looks to be in his twenties has been dining here, and someone has long noticed this conspicuous person. He had been silent during the previous chat, but now that he said this, everyone looked at him.
Liya said in surprise: "Little brother, you said that their old leader died suddenly? But why did I hear that he died of a serious illness due to the recurrence of an old disease?"
The cool-looking man didn't care about everyone's gaze, and picked up the black tea on the table gracefully After taking a sip and slowly putting it down, he said: "I don't know much about this incident because I haven't paid much attention to it. However, there is a quarrel within the Dragon Kingdom over who should be the new leader. I think it’s unlikely that he died of illness, right?”
