Alien world

Chapter 1264 186. Annan's Warning

"I know, Boyi Village!" said the mercenary on the left.

"Everyone the hell knows." The mercenary on the right yelled.

"You know why you didn't tell me?"

"My mouth isn't as loose as your mother's ass."

"You mean my mom? I'll fight you!"

Seeing that the quarrel was about to escalate into a fight, the tavern owner, who had been watching for a long time, knocked on the counter.

"That's enough. Don't make fun of the guests."

Strangely enough, the tavern owner's unimpressive voice made the ferocious mercenaries obey him. Then, he nodded to Annan and said, "Dear guest from afar, welcome to the Black Reef Tavern."

"you know me?"

"I don't know you, but every stranger who opens this door has similar confusion."

It seems that there is something different about the "Black Reef Tavern"... No wonder the atmosphere here is so strange.

"They were just talking about skinned people..." Annan was very concerned about this word.

"She was the spiritual leader of many people in the past... Raymond's brutality not only failed to scare away the people who resisted, but made more people know her story." The tavern owner is a literary man.

Annan looked interested, it seemed that he had come to the right place.

"I am very curious, how do you know these secret pasts?"

"Your great lord showed me her skin as a trophy yesterday."

As soon as he finished speaking, Annan felt the emotions in the tavern moving towards sadness, anger, and powerlessness...

"I guess so... With such temperament, I'm afraid he can only be a distinguished guest." The tavern owner smiled and said, "I wonder if I can buy you a special drink?"

"It's my turn to treat you."

Annan guessed who they were and walked to the counter and sat down with the Black Widow: "Please give everyone a glass of the best wine here."

Annan was not very generous very often, and the mercenaries didn't know about it, but it was enough for them to let out strange cries and cheers.

Soon, Annan and the mercenaries began to drink fine wine.

Mainly, Annan was worried about his purse and the mercenaries were drinking.

The mercenaries who were at loggerheads just now were now arm in arm with each other, as if the previous conflict had never existed.

"You treated everyone, so I'll treat you two." The tavern owner pushed two glasses of wine in front of Annan.

After spending the money, Annan asked the tavern owner: "I am also curious... Are you hiding right under Lord Raymond's nose?"

It should not be said that they are hiding. They are almost no different from shouting on the street, "Everyone look at me, I have something to declare, I am a rebel!"

"My friend, you think too highly of that great lord."

The tavern owner laughed and said, "He only cares about money. For money, he has done many stupid things that you can't imagine, killing the person who betrayed her is one of them...

Annan had indeed experienced this... The great lord of the Broken Mountains actually tried to blackmail him and ask for benefits.

"From then on, no one believed him anymore. And his subordinates were as greedy as he was, and money could deceive them."

"The most dangerous place is the safest place?" Annan said.

"Ha, I like this." The tavern owner raised his glass, "To the most dangerous place."

Annan raised his glass, but Black Widow snatched it from him, took a sip, and returned it to him. Annan smiled apologetically at the tavern owner and took a sip.

Hmm...it turns out that he doesn't like any alcoholic beverages.

"How about it?"

"I prefer the floral scent." The tavern owner was slightly startled: "Flowers? I don't remember the ingredients for brewing wine being related to flowers..."

Realizing something, Annan looked at the Black Widow, who blinked provocatively.

Annan put down his glass and said, "Can you tell me about that leader?"

"There's nothing much to say. In the rumors, she is either a tough and upright leader or a villain who engages in thieving activities. In fact, she is just an ordinary person who was pushed step by step to that point..."

"You know her?"

"We almost grew up together."

"Almost?"

"My family had some money, but hers was very poor, so we often played together when we were young, but we lost contact after she was sold by her family..."

Maybe it was the wine that made him tipsy, or the customers that aroused his interest, but the tavern owner wanted to tell a story.

Just then, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the tavern, and then the door was kicked open and the guards rushed into the hall.

"I seem to have caused you some trouble..." Annan said apologetically.

He forgot that the spies of the great lord were watching him. He had been here for so long, they must have tried to find a way to test him... maybe they would expose these people.

"I'll take care of it."

The tavern owner consoled him and walked around the counter to the guards, but before he could even say a word he was knocked down with a punch and then picked up by the guards who rushed over.

The guys in the tavern immediately rushed forward, but these guards were not the ones they usually encountered. The guards drew their swords quickly and prepared to attack.

The mercenaries were fearless. They shouted loudly and noisily and kept crowding forward, trying to create chaos and rescue the tavern owner who was controlled by the guards.

A mercenary holding a stool as a weapon came up to Annan and said, "It's going to be a fight. You go first, boy."

"what about you?"

"Leave us alone, this is not what you should worry about right now!"

Someone nearby echoed, "Hahaha, grow up a few more years, but don't become that kind of jerk."

"Damn mob!"

On the other side, the captain of the guard who was provoked by the mercenaries roared, swung his sword violently, and stabbed a mob who stood in front of him.

“Stop them…!”

Annan couldn't help but speak out.

Black Widow cast a spell instantly, sending out a cloud of black mist that swept over everyone's heads and landed accurately on the guards' wrists, petrifying them all.

"You're picking on him because of me, right? You'd better not do that..."

Everyone turned around at the same time and looked at Annan who stood up.

Annan walked past the mercenaries who had voluntarily made way, stood in front of the captain of the guards, and looked at him calmly:
"In order to save them, I have to get rid of you quickly. Your overlord's spy on me is outside. If you disappear, they will become suspicious, so I have to kill the spy as well. If the spy on me disappears, everyone will know it was me, and your overlord will cause trouble for me."

"Not many forces have offended me... the Principality of Montabullock, the Kingdom of Rekanel, the Elf King's Court... Later, the Principality changed its Grand Duke, and the Kingdom changed its King. Only the Elf King's Court, I can't do anything to them for the time being."

"But you are no match for them. So don't push me. You don't want to see the Broken Mountains being trampled into a Broken Basin by my legion."

"Well..."

One of the mercenaries burped at an inopportune moment and quickly covered his mouth.

"So, just turn a blind eye."

Annan stretched out his hand and patted the sweaty captain of the guard like a superior.

"It's good for both you and me."
