Chapter 159, 12 murderous weapons


Chapter 159, 12 murderous weapons

The tavern is a place where good and bad people are mixed, and you can learn many secrets in this city here.

There are also many people who listen to some rumors and stories while drinking.

"I just met this combination of humans and orcs when I was passing by. I don't know who they are." Fang Hao answered as he took the beer.

This is not a secret and there is no secrecy.

"Humans and orcs?" The proprietress crossed her arms across her chest and began to recall the people who echoed this characteristic. Then her eyes lit up and she said, "Is there an orc whose weapon is a mace and whose brain is not very bright? .”

I, Cao, can guess this.

When the lady boss saw Fang Hao's expression, she knew she had guessed correctly.

"It is indeed them. They came here a while ago, saying they were a mercenary group, and they inquired about a lot of things here."

"I'm not sure. After all, I just came here. Maybe we are talking about the same person." Fang Hao said.

Not far away, someone asked for wine. Before leaving, the proprietress placed a plate of sliced ​​meat in front of them.

"It's a gift, I'll come back often."

After saying that, he turned around and served drinks to other guests.

Fang Hao drank his beer and his eyes fell on the notice board nearby.

The notice board of the Human Tavern is different from that of the Bull Head Tavern. In addition to some single-page maps, some of the Tavern's activities are also written on it.

For example, the night dance performance.

This is not what Fang Hao means by distorting the dance, but it is clearly written about erotic dance.

I just don’t know if it’s the plump boss lady who’s performing.

Look at the map again.

There are two pieces in total, [Bandit Camp] and [Pool Monster].

【Map: Bandit Camp】

【Category: Single page map】

[Description: A map drawn by travelers, recording the route and terrain of the bandit camp. 】

"Why, are you going to suppress the bandits?"

The landlady came back and saw Fang Hao looking at the map on the notice board.

"Just looking, why are there bandits here? Don't the guards in the city care?" Fang Hao asked curiously.

The guards in this city seem to be quite reliable. Why are there bandits nearby?

"Who knows, we organized it two years ago. If the troops are strong, the enemy will run away. If you are weak, you can't beat them. It has been going on for several years. Now no one cares about it. Fortunately, the bandits did not attack the city, otherwise everyone would be dead. It’s not easy.” The landlady said while preparing the food.

"How many people are there on the other side?"

"A few hundred people. I also heard from the guests that you don't want to suppress the bandits. These are not stupid kidnappers. Don't be stupid." The proprietress reminded.

"I want these two maps. How much do they cost?"

"You really want to go, don't you want to live anymore?" the landlady said in surprise.

"I'm not going by myself. I know a group of mercenaries. I'll ask them if they're interested." Fang Hao made an excuse for himself.

The landlady saw that Fang Hao didn't look like an impulsive person, so she didn't try to persuade her. She said, "One map costs 5 gold. By the way, the bandit suppression was issued by the City Lord's Mansion. If it succeeds, you can take the leader's head to the City Lord's Mansion." Exchange money.”

"That's really good." Fang Hao took out 10 human gold coins, handed them to the proprietress, and then took off the two maps.

In the tavern, there were more and more customers.

The landlady was busy greeting the customers, and Fang Hao planned to leave after taking the last sip of wine.

After getting the blueprints and silkworms prepared by Tavik, they returned to the territory.

Just wanted to get up.

On the wooden platform on one side of the tavern, a middle-aged man in gray robe walked up.

He held a glass of beer, took a big sip, smacked it in his mouth, and said loudly: "Today's story, the bloodthirsty countess, Hilda Ford."

The appearance of the middle-aged man instantly silenced the noisy tavern.

Everyone drank in silence, waiting for the middle-aged man's next story.

The man did not keep the audience waiting for too long and started the story.

"Hilda is the daughter of a member of the Kingdom. She was born with countless enviable and unattainable auras. At the age of 21, Hilda became more and more beautiful and smart. She helped her father solve problems and helped people at the bottom of the city. When a pregnant woman delivers a baby, there is no difference between nobles and commoners in her eyes.”

"...She likes children. Looking at the smiling face of the child, Hilda will also smile, dreaming that she and her fiancé will give birth to such a lovely child."

"... She is such a kind countess, but she has an alternative hobby. She keeps a variety of sharp weapons in her room, including 12 exquisitely crafted swords."

Hearing this, Fang Hao frowned slightly.

12 beautifully crafted swords?

This instantly reminded him of Xiaoyou's mission to collect 12 swords of reprieve.

It can't be such a coincidence!

The story continues.

"...Suddenly, the beautiful and kind-hearted Hilda was bewitched by the devil. She was lying on a bed stained with blood, and beside her lay the corpses of 12 children, killed by 12 sharp swords."
< br>

"Soon, Hilda's case was exposed. Her method of cruelly killing the children was criticized by the whole city. Overnight, the beautiful and kind countess turned into a bloodthirsty demon."

"The villagers nailed her alive to the confession stake, and 12 sharp swords pierced her body to pay for the life of the dead child."

Bang bang!

The middle-aged people clapped their hands gently to wake up the people immersed in the story.

"Okay, this is the story of the Bloodthirsty Countess."

Wow!

After the story ended, the tavern became noisy again. People were sighing at this story.

Of course, no one would believe this story.

"Isn't her father a congressman? Do civilians dare to kill a congressman's daughter?"

"You, the person who listens to a story so seriously, are all fake and just randomly placed characters. You have seen that countess delivering babies to common people."

"Same."

The middle-aged man who told the story clapped his hands again and said loudly: "Today is not a story. As for Hilda's father, it will be mentioned in another story later. Some people said that Hilda was involved in targeting his father. In the conspiracy, because of Hilda’s murder of the child, his father also lost his status as a councilor and eventually died on the way out of the city.”

The guests still wondered loudly, mentioning the holes in the story.

To prove that this is just a story.

"Okay, I have evidence." The middle-aged man clapped his hands gently, and a follower walked up with a gorgeous dagger.

The middle-aged man held it gently in his hand, as if holding a priceless treasure.

Said: "This is one of the 12 murder weapons collected by Hilda. It was also the weapon that finally killed its owner. Well, if anyone is willing to buy it back for collection, for 1,000 gold coins, you can get this countess. Weapons I once owned.”

puff! !

At the end of the speech, countless people spit out the beer in their mouths, leaving the faces of their companions at the opposite table covered with beer foam.

I thought you were a show in a tavern, but you are actually selling goods.

"Do you think we are stupid? Make up a story about selling that broken dagger for 1,000 gold coins. Only fools will be fooled."

The words just fell.

An untimely quotation sounded, "I want it."

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at the male and female duo behind them who were making a bid. (End of chapter)
