From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 78 Mercenaries (for further reading)

Although the apparent population of Doman City is only more than 2, this is only after the admission of refugees.

But in fact, the actual population is far beyond, but these people are too mobile to be counted.

Adventurers and mercenaries can often be seen in the border territories of the southern border. They are synonymous with bravery, and they are the protagonists in most stories told by bards.

They mainly explore various dangerous places, ruins, and inaccessible areas, or accept employment to hunt wild beasts and even monsters.

Partly driven by curiosity and adventure, but mostly driven by life.

In a remote alley, only a small tavern with a broken door is still open. The winter in the southern region is very cold, and one will only go out unless there is something exciting to watch or something to do.

At other times, everyone stays behind closed doors, and most of the shops are closed because there is no business.

But this dilapidated tavern was different. The shouts and curses inside could be heard from a long distance away. Although no one was seen coming in and out, the business was obviously good.

It's just that occasionally people passing by walked here for a while, as if they had arrived at some unknown place, and quickened their pace as if they were fleeing.

A figure came to this remote alley on the muddy road, looked around, and finally landed on this tavern called "Adventurer's Paradise".

The two men who looked like thugs at the door glanced at the tightly covered figure, and didn't think it was strange. There were all kinds of people in the mercenary, and they had long been familiar with it.

He just took a glance and then continued to lean against the door to take a nap. Although the group of desperadoes inside were as noisy as monsters, it didn't affect it.

Xiyue Zhufeng frowned and looked at it. Although she hadn't entered yet, she was very disgusted by the smell inside that went straight to the sky.

The elf likes to be clean, if it was in the past, she would never have looked at such a dirty place, it was just forced by reality.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped into this crowded tavern. Although it didn't look that big, there was something else going on inside. There were no fewer than hundreds of people at a glance.

Under the dim oil lamp, they sat together crowded together, clinking glasses with each other in twos and threes, and a large glass of low-quality beer was poured into their mouths like drinking water.

There are all kinds of true or false stories roaring in the mouth, and there are often loud applause and applause.

Someone was smoking an unknown tobacco leaf, and the pungent smoke was floating around, making it difficult to breathe.

Xiyue walked on the musty and greasy wooden floor, the sticky feeling from the soles made her squeeze out the word "Chuan" between her eyebrows, and the tip of her nose lingered with the smell of sweat, feet, body odor, and even blood... …All kinds of smells were intertwined, making her nauseous, and she wanted to leave immediately.

Her arrival attracted the attention of many people. Many people put down their wine glasses one after another and looked at her in unison. There was also a pig woman with a figure like a fat pig scratching her head.

These people are vicious and full of hostility. Most of them wear simple leather armor, and there are also a few iron armor.

A strong man with a height of two meters stood up. The thick hair on his body made him look like a black gorilla. The tattered leather armor was covered with oil and dirt, and dark red blood could still be seen.

He was holding an unknown piece of fat in his thick hand, which was still steaming, and the fat flowed down the leather armor along the beard that had been entangled and solidified into locks, making Xiyue feel a little nauseated.

With her eyesight, she could even see fleas jumping on his hair.

The strong man didn't notice it, walked up to Xiyue, and said in a loud voice: "It's another new face, which branch are you from?"

Xiyue frowned and took a few steps away, his body odor was comparable to poisonous gas.

"I don't belong to any branch, I want to find the boss here." She is not interested in talking too much with such things, it will affect her appetite.

"Hey, I'm still a little girl. It's better to find my brother than my boss. I'm sure you'll be satisfied." Hearing Xiyue's voice, the strong man immediately became excited, with a wretched smile on his face.

It's just that even though he said so, he didn't dare to take any practical actions. There were no simple roles out there, and maybe there were some, but they must have gone to see the Lord of the Holy Light now.

A woman who appeared in such a place would naturally not be a docile kitten, so he just took advantage of it, but he was always vigilant in his heart.

"Hahaha……"

"How about taking your brother with you?"

"Luke, can you do it alone, do you want my help..."

……

All of a sudden they started booing, and their eyes wandered wantonly on Xiyue, extremely aggressive.

"Humph!"

Xiyue raised her brows, raised her long legs, and kicked Luke on the chest of a big man named Luke. The seemingly light kick directly sent Luke, who weighed more than 200 pounds, flying upside down. smashed against a table.

The spectators quickly avoided, but Luke shattered the table with a "bang" and fell into a coma by vomiting filth.

Seeing the clear footprints on his chest, everyone gasped, and looked at Xiyue no longer aggressively, but with awe and vigilance.

"If someone looks at me like that again, your fate will definitely be worse than his."

Xiyue's voice was rare and cold. Although she knew the virtues of these human mercenaries, she still hated the formal contact.

She felt that these people insulted the great title of adventurer, and they were almost called hooligans.

Although the elves are a peace-loving race, it doesn't mean they have no temper. You must know that in the past, they were also the overlords who dominated this continent.

Most of them are ordinary people, but it doesn't mean they have no eyesight. They have already seen that Xiyue is an extraordinary person. It is simply not humanly possible to kick a 200-pound man.

They didn't dare to look at her anymore, and started drinking and bragging on their own, and the atmosphere became lively again.

"Ma'am, you broke one of my desks, where is the account?"

A thin and short figure appeared in front of Xiyue like a ghost, with a hoarse voice.

The moment he appeared, Xiyue could clearly feel that the voice in the tavern had dropped by more than one level, and many people didn't dare to look this way, as if they were afraid of him.

Xiyue looked at the other party vigilantly, but she was a little unresponsive to the other party's strange movements.

"Are you the boss here? Damaged things will be compensated, but it's him, not me." She had already vaguely guessed the identity of the other party, but she didn't feel scared at all. She wasn't afraid of a real fight.

"Hehe, it's okay. Then, adventurer from afar, what do you want me for?" The man smiled horribly, not worried about someone reneging on his debt at all.

"I want you to issue a mission, recruit a team of powerful mercenaries or adventurers, and follow me into the Warcraft Mountains. Money is not a problem."
