Chapter 17 Trouble at Lena's House
The enthusiastic and lovely girl from before was still a little nervous at the moment, but the sneak attack just now was unambiguous.
While the leading gangster was trying to beg for mercy from Peter, he hit him with a powerful and heavy blow of justice, knocking him out directly.
"Huh...it's okay! Mr. Pett, you are not injured. I was really scared when I saw them rushing towards you!"
The corners of Peter's eyes twitched slightly.
Scared?
You obviously scared me, okay?
Pate was scared when he saw that brick shot. Not to mention that the strong man had already been hit by an [Arcane Missile]. Even a professional would be hit like this unexpectedly without being prepared. For a moment, anyone who didn’t get beaten on the spot would be considered to have a strong head if he saw his great-grandmother!
Peter felt that there might be some bug in his understanding of Lena.
When the two first met, he looked at the polite and gentle look on the other side and thought she was a girl from Lin's family.
When encountering gangsters making trouble, the first reaction is to take Peter away first to avoid it.
How did it end up like this?
Looking at Reina's proficiency in backstabbing and slapping bricks, Peter seriously doubted that this was definitely not the first time she had done this!
As Reina said this, she reached out her hand and dragged the unconscious gangster up, dragging him and four other men to a small alley on the side of the road.
"Just let them stay here."
"Thank you so much. After this lesson, they will no longer dare to make trouble here again in a short time." The girl happily thanked Pet.
Peter couldn't help but feel ashamed. Is the environment in the lower city so tough?
I thought I was just going to have a drink with the girl at the pub owned by her family, but before I even walked in, I received a small downtown shock.
"When they wake up, won't they continue to make trouble?"
Reina shook her head: "No, actually these guys don't dare to do anything extraordinary. They just come to cause trouble every once in a while."
"After all, as long as the door is blocked like this, no customers will dare to come to the tavern."
"They have been here several times during this period. Because of this, there are almost no customers in the pub now."
"By the way, also, please don't tell my family about those men in black robes today, okay?"
"If they knew that I encountered such a dangerous thing, they would definitely be worried."
Peter naturally nodded in agreement.
Everyone has their own difficulties. He himself believed the lies of those black-robed men because of the third-level spell. Although he still didn’t know what kind of trouble the girl encountered to be deceived into the ceremony of those black-robed men;
The two did the same stupid thing, and Pet could naturally understand the other person's thoughts:
It's best not to let other people know about this kind of black history!
The troublemaking gangsters were defeated, and the streets finally returned to silence. The previously closed door of the tavern was quickly opened quietly, and a middle-aged man with brown hair like Reina stuck his head out to look at the situation outside.
"Dad! Are you okay!" Reina ran forward excitedly when she saw someone: "Those guys didn't hurt you, did they?"
Lena's father, Mr. Money, is a slightly burly middle-aged man with simple and neat clothes, a slightly white beard, and traces of time etched on his face.
"Baby! Where have you gone? I haven't seen you since this morning. Seeing that you haven't come back, I thought something happened to you!"
When Old Moni saw Reina, he immediately smiled and stretched out his arms to hug the running girl into his arms. "I...I have something to go out. I forgot to tell you before I left." Reina smiled and naturally changed the topic: "Dad, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Petr Chinner, the man who just made the move. , help us get rid of those bad guys!"
"Mr. Pett is a powerful mage!"
Old Mr. Money was in disbelief.
"Master? Mr. Chinar, this, this, this, Mr. Master, hello, how can I thank you? We are really here..."
When Reina said that it was Pete who drove away the gangsters, Mr. Money's first reaction was to thank him, but then he thought that ordinary people like them in the downtown area seemed to have nothing that professionals could appreciate. , the only thing that can be obtained may be money.
The problem is, if you want to recruit a mage, who is also a master among professionals, the amount of gold coins required is quite a lot!
After all, being a mage is a costly profession. All kinds of precious magic materials and props cost money. It is not enough for mages who believe in the goddess of magic to have talent and hard work. They must have enough financial resources to embark on this path. .
Even a first-level mage who only knows one offensive spell needs a commission of at least 50 silver coins before the other party is willing to accept the commission.
Ordinary people like Lao Moni who open a tavern in the lower city area can earn as much as 200 or 300 copper coins during a normal day's operation. At the best time, this is equivalent to less than 3 silver coins at a ratio of 1:100. After deducting the cost, the actual real income may be less than 1 silver coin.
It would be really hard for him to suddenly come up with such a large sum of money.
Peter saw that Old Money was short of money, but he readily said that it was not so troublesome, he was not short of money, and he would help when the road was rough.
Hearing this, Old Moni was exactly the same as his daughter Lena in terms of enthusiasm, and hurriedly invited Pete to at least come and sit in the tavern for a while. As a thank you, he would take out the best wine to entertain Pete.
The space inside Money Brothers Tavern is not very large. As soon as Pete walked in, the strong aroma of ale hit his nostrils. The interior decoration was very simple, with a variety of liquors placed behind the wooden bar, most of which were made of wood. Barrels of ale.
There were several chairs lined up outside the bar, and several sets of tables and chairs surrounding the fireplace next to it, occupying the rest of the space in the tavern.
Because it was not dark yet, the fireplace was not lit, and there was still a comfortable coolness in the house.
A tavern of this size is very common in both Green Harbor and the Kingdom of Leyak. It only needs 2 wine waiters and at most one more chef responsible for barbecue and bread to run it, and can receive more than a dozen guests at the same time.
Peter found a chair next to the bar and sat down. Reina walked inside and took out a wooden wine glass. She filled it with ale with fine foam floating in the barrel and sent it to Peter. She walked to another table next to Peter. Take a seat on a chair.
"Please try Moni's specially fermented flavored ale."
Peter picked up the glass and took a sip.
The mellow and slightly bitter liquor bloomed in his mouth, followed by the sweetness of malt, giving him a distinct taste experience.
"Not bad! It tastes good!"
The two clinked glasses, and the cold and delicious ale relieved a lot of the tension caused by the series of events they had encountered previously.
"So, what happened to those troublemakers? What kind of trouble did you get into?"
