Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 2: Red Crow Pub (Part 2)

   Chapter 2 The Red Crow Tavern (Part 2)

Brunan Garylando had no consciousness of being the owner of the Red Crow tavern. He turned a blind eye to the constant complaints of his tavern maid, Sister Louise. He took a few pieces of hide paper and squatted on the ground. Lorester rummaged in his mouth while rummaging through the parcels, satchels, and animal skins that had been piled up on the ground:

   "Two black scale rhino leathers, this is what Tom wants from the armor shop..."

   "Five pieces of red-eyed black fox skins, booked by Old Burke at the leather goods shop..."

   "Three black gold python skins, the weapons shop Johnson will be a scabbard..."

   "A bunch of banded horns, Chris will make a bowstring..."

  ……

   "What is this?" Gary Lando held up a gray-white one-meter-long bone.

   "The arm bones of the legendary owl dragon were made into bone sticks by the Le Mandor natives of the Ruins Islands. They are light and extremely hard. This is what Sir Malef wants to collect." Lorister put down the roast goose in his hand and replied.

   Li-mouthed Owl is said to be a large-scale bird created by magicians using night owl and dragon blood thousands of years ago. It is ferocious and combative, and it has long since disappeared. One hundred years ago, a complete skeleton was discovered in the relic islands that was once the kingdom of magicians, named by scholars after its huge fangs and long mouth.

Sir Malef is one of the more distinguished regulars of the Red Crow Tavern. He seems to be a nobleman in the Principality. Later, tired of political disputes, he came to Morient and bought a place not far from the Red Crow Tavern. The house is reclusive. He prefers to collect strange things.

   "Oh" Since Sir Malef asked for it, it is not surprising. Putting down the gray-white bones, Gary Lando took up another wallet with seven test-tube-like glass bottles inside. The bottles contained seven liquids of different colors: "What's this again?"

"The blood of the seven species of relic islands beasts, Professor Simpson of the White Rose Academy. He said he got an ancient book, and asked me to get the blood of these seven relics islands beasts. He wanted to try if he could copy the ones from the ancient books. A potion formula." Lorist explained.

   Gary Lando discovered that there was a small label attached to the underside of the glass bottle with the name of the beast: "Black Golden Python, Green Back Demon Wolf, Black Scale Rhino..."

"This old fellow Simpson really has more gold coins and no place to spend, copying potions? It's really a loss for him to figure out that now there is no magician, no magic power, how can he make potions!" The old Tom beside him shook disapprovingly Shaking his head and commented.

   "Then what is this?" Gary Lando shook a thick bamboo tube. The bamboo tube was about a meter long and sealed. It seemed that there was still liquid in it, and it shook.

   "Uh..." Lorester was a little embarrassed, but he hesitated and answered: "This is the Terence donkey whip that El asked me to bring him in private..."

  Terence donkey whip, a specialty of the relics islands, a well-known strong anode product, loved by the majority of aristocrats, men with impotence and premature ejaculation.

   "Punch..." Sister Louise covered her mouth and laughed constantly when El heard that it was the Terence donkey whip that El had asked Lorist to bring in private.

Gary Lando's face turned green: "Unreasonably, this **** kid needs aphrodisiac at a young age. If he doesn't grow up, he knows all day that he is lying on a woman, but he doesn't even lay an egg. He has to learn a lesson! Let this thing go to me first, and if El asks you, let him come to me."

   El, the name is Brunan Evanbert. The black boss in three blocks nearby, the silver two-star swordsman, is also Gary Lando's nephew and only relative.

The cups and dishes were messy on the table, Lorist raised the wine glass in his hand to Chef Fatty Mai, drank the rest of the fruit wine, sighed, and burped contentedly: "Mister Louise, look at the back door Does Old Luke have any business? If not, ask him to get my hair cut and fix my face. There is also a room upstairs for me, I have to get some hot water to take a shower and I have to sleep well. In addition, the things in my rattan box I ask you to take the clothes and the clothes you wear to the laundry to wash them, and then go to Aunt Misha’s clothing store to buy me a new suit. The tents are all hung on the cabinet."

   Old Luke came very quickly. At this time, the small barbershop he opened at the back door of the Red Crow Pub was not full of customers. As soon as he heard Lorist’s greeting, he packed his tools and came over. First put a black linen drape around Loris, and then put a shiny silver plate on the table cleaned by Sister Louise, which is used as a mirror, and then hold a small hair clipper and sea The comb made of ivory asked, "As usual?"

   In the Gailint subcontinent, except for the nobles in some countries who have specific hairstyles to show their status and respect, they basically follow everyone's preferences, but sometimes some so-called fashionable hairstyles of wavy perm and ponytail are popular. At this point, Lorist believes that except for the relatively backward barber tools, it is no different from the previous life.

  Lorist has always liked to cut his hair short, that is, a small flat head. On the one hand, this is the effect of seven years in the previous life as a soldier. On the other hand, it is easy to handle and quick to clean.

   "Well, as usual." Lorist sat upright.

   Old Luke snorted and said: "Actually, Little Locke, your black hair should have long hair. Look, such a pure black, how beautiful it is. There must be a lot of girls falling for you with the long ponytail that you leave."

   "Let’s pull it down, it’s too much trouble to keep your growth clean every day. By the way, Old Luke, what's new in the past six months?"

   Old Luke likes to chat with people when he has a haircut, and he can talk about any news, big or small things around here.

While trimming his hair, he thought about it: "It's nothing new. Two months ago, Linde, who sold fruit on the corner of the street, was shocked by a horse and hit the stall. However, he received four Golden Ford compensation for a small payment. Last month The Butcher Watt’s Lady Lang was caught upright with a mercenary. The Mercenary of the Dark Iron Step was chopped on his shoulder by Watt. He laughed to death. Watt didn't wake up his grudge."

"In terms of major issues, the newspaper published three months ago said that the war in the north had been subdued. After two years of unremitting efforts by the business alliance, the warring parties finally reached a peace agreement. The newspaper said that the business route to the north is right. Shining golden light, the newspapers for more than two months have published news about the recruitment of mercenary guards or the participation of the chamber of commerce in the north, but it also published many incidents of the chamber of commerce heading to the north being robbed by robbers."

   "Oh, the Christen Empire in the north is not fighting anymore?" Lorister really did not expect that he had gone to the Ruins Islands for half a year, and such a profound historical event had happened in the Gailint subcontinent. As for what the newspaper said was the peace achieved through the efforts of the business alliance, no one took it seriously. The strong empire in the north has always been the life and death enemy of the Ford Business Alliance. The two sides have fought in famous battles for more than 160 years. Three times. Since the death of the old emperor six years ago, the three princes fought for the throne. The happiest thing is the business alliance. It is good if you don't add fuel to the fire. There is no good intention to quell the war.

   "Tell me, what's the content of the peace agreement?" Lorist was curious about the conditions set by the business alliance. The three princes of the northern empire fought with a dozen grand dukes for nearly six years, and they shattered a vast and extremely powerful empire, with a shortage of civilians and soldiers, and even the great aristocrats lived on loans. If there is no business alliance behind this, no one believes it.

   "Ah, I really didn't pay attention to this content. You know I am a hairdresser, and I have never cared about major national events..." Old Luke was a little embarrassed.

"I know this." The old Thom on the side was very happy. As a retired postal official, commenting on national events has always been his hobby: "There are mainly three things. The first is that the empire is divided into three kingdoms and seven This is a grand duchy. That is to say, the Christen Empire, which was originally on the head of the business alliance, is gone, and there will be no more wars in the north. The second is to keep trade routes open. Whether it is a kingdom or a duchy, the commercial tax is ten Tax 1. And the various chambers of commerce under the business alliance are free to open shops in the territories of the major lords to conduct business activities. The third is that the business alliance will provide a batch of loans of varying amounts to three kingdoms and seven principalities The interest rate seems to be 7% to 13%."

"Brother Locke, I remember that you seem to be from the north. There was a badge on the carriage that sent you to the academy. It should be a nobleman in size? Now the north is no longer fighting, and trade routes are open. You don't want to go home. Take a look?" Chef Mai Fatty Mai, who was sitting across from him, seemed to remember the first meeting with Lorist at the entrance of the academy ten years ago, and asked when everyone talked about gossip about the north.

   "Little Locke, are you from the Christen Empire? Or a nobleman?" Old Luke made a fuss.

While the old emperor of the Empire was still alive, he regularly ordered the frontier army to launch an invasion war on the Mana Hill Plain where the business alliance was located, especially those imperial nobles who took advantage of the fire, and the private soldiers brought great harm to the people of the business alliance. . As a resident of the city of Morient, the capital of the business alliance, although he didn't say that he would yell at the people of the Christen Empire, he had absolutely no affection for those imperial nobles.

"To be correct, I am a northerner from the Christen Empire, which is also a northern highlander. I am a few thousand miles away from here. The northerners have not come to Mana Hill Plain to fight against the business alliance. It is too far. It takes only two or three months to march. My father is a baron and his territory is in the far north. I am the second child at home, with an older brother on top and a younger brother on the bottom. I can’t take the title of the territory to me. Go to Moriente. Going to school means that the family has given up on me. Although the North has fought for six years, I lost the news with the family seven years ago, which means that I have to support myself. So now I am from Morient City and Northland. , Has nothing to do with the family." Lorist explained.

"Well, in order to avoid disputes between their children for the title of the territory in the future, many nobles, in addition to focusing on the cultivation of heirs, adopted the methods of exile, enfeoffment or marriage to other children. Examples like Xiaoluoke are very common, after all. His family knight is just a baron." Old Tom nodded in agreement.

Old Luke's technique is very fast. Not only he straightened his hair, he also took out a sharp blade to shave the hair on Lorester's face and the beard stubble on his chin, and finally applied a little oil to protect the skin. .

   Lorist touched his smooth chin and was very satisfied. He generously gave Old Luke a small silver coin, and ordered Fatty Mai to give Old Luke and Old Thom a glass of rye ale, and put it on his own account. Picking up two swords of different lengths on the table, follow Sister Louise to the second floor.

On the second floor of    Red Crow Tavern are eight guest rooms, four on each side. The corridor is the stairs leading to the third floor.

  I just went to the second floor, and heard hoarse voices of men and women in the room on the left.

   Lorist asked curiously: "Who, are you still tossing now?"

   Sister Louise didn’t turn her head back: “It’s Juliette, I picked up the three black bear brothers at noon for seven big silver coins. It’s been more than three hours, and I don’t know if she can't afford it at night.”

   Zhu Mili is also a maid in the tavern. As for the three Black Bear brothers, Lorist knows them. The three brothers are all low-level mercenaries who practice fighting spirit in the army. The boss is the second star of the Black Iron, and the second and third are the bronze. UU read www.uukanshu. Com usually picks up short-distance guards, running errands for others. The three brothers were tall and big, black and strong, and were given the nickname Black Bear Three Brothers. Over time, this nickname became the official name.

   The guest room that Sister Louise took Lorist to is the first room on the right side of the corridor. A large bathtub and hot water have been placed in the room.

   Lorist put down the two swords in his hand, pulled out the two daggers from the boot, and removed the crossbow from his left arm. He couldn't wait to take himself off and dive into the bathtub.

Sister Louise handed over a piece of pink floral soap, put the white linen towel next to the tub, cleaned up the clothes on the floor, and found the money bag, sword buckle, waist bag and belt. These were placed on the table. When I went out, I remembered something, and went back to the tub and asked: "Little Locke, will you be free in the evening in three days?"

   "I don't know, why, something?" Lorist lifted his face from the water and exhaled long.

"Well, three days later, a girl in my village came to the pub to be a maid. For the first time, she wanted to sell a good price for two gold coins. Little Locke, you made a lot of money after this trip, so please help the older sister. Do not?"

   "Huh? Didn't you, Jumily, Sarah and Nina in the tavern? Why are you recruiting new people?"

"Nina went back to get married last month and won't come back. The girl in my village is also going to be a pub for two or three years and save enough money before going back to marry. The eldest sister promised to find one for her first time. Handsome and generous boy, Little Locke, can you help this?"

   Lorester replied in embarrassment vaguely: "Let's talk about it..."

   sank himself into the water again.
