Chapter 182 The Rattlesnake Tavern (ask for a monthly ticket, recommended ticket)
February 23rd.
A rain cloud has accumulated in the sky, and it is slowly dissipating. The air is a little wetter than usual.
Rett rode the Huo Ge and landed in a border city, and the ground smelled faintly of mud.
Due to the hazy night, I was able to see a row of about twenty grimacing jack-o-lanterns hanging at the gate of the city.
It seems that this is White Pumpkin City, so what's the matter with the eerie atmosphere? Could it be that today is a special holiday, or is it like this every day...
Rett came to the door and threw a gold coin to the guarding knight.
The other party glanced at Leiter, the faint coercion, and the flying magic pet around him, his expression was dignified, and he showed the respect that he would never show to civilians, stretched out his right hand, and said:
"Dear guest, welcome to White Pumpkin City!"
Leite's expression remained unchanged, he was taciturn, maintaining the appearance of a mysterious strong man, and led Huo Ge to the city slowly.
I had already inquired before coming here that White Pumpkin City is the main city of a certain earl.
Just like Twilight City, it was established by Earl Nero, who has absolute jurisdiction over it, providing guard functions, and at the same time, outsiders who open stores or trade in it must pay taxes.
He walked on the main road with white strips and red bricks, and there were all kinds of commodity shops on both sides, including gourmet restaurants, hotels, pubs...
In the corners of the streets and alleys, from time to time, a charming woman in revealing clothes beckons, looking for a love deal, with a pair of seductive eyes, as if wanting to eat the men who come and go.
Beside this kind of alley, there are often small high-rise buildings without signboards, or low-key small hotels.
After walking less than a kilometer, Leiter saw many such places.
Well, White Pumpkin City...so hospitable...
He stopped looking around, looked down at the red bricks on the road, and began to think about how to proceed next. Even though he is a fifth-level magister, but he is in a foreign country, unfamiliar with the place of life, and he is still a thousand miles away from the strength of the top of the world, he does not have the capital to be domineering.
Moreover, this is also the territory of an earl, and you must not mess around, at least on the surface...you can't mess around.
He touched his chin.
Hmm... let's get some information first.
Unknowingly, Leiter came to a crossroad, the traffic in front of him was much less, and the left and right sides were also pitch black, obviously not a lively place, not suitable for inquiring about information.
So he turned back the same way, recalling the largest and most crowded tavern along the way.
"It seems...is the Rattlesnake Tavern? Let's go in and have a look..." Leiter whispered to himself.
Those who can have magic pets, except for a few lucky ones, are not ordinary people.
This is especially true with flying familiars.
So Leiter has a fire grid, which has attracted a lot of attention.
He stops at the Rattlesnake Tavern.
Four scarred knights stood at the door, wearing only vest-like clothing on the upper body, revealing well-developed muscles, and holding long swords or clubs.
Each of them has a fierce look on their faces, and they don't look easy to mess with.
However, Leiter still easily perceives that the four of them are only second-level knights, and they are a great deterrent to ordinary people.
When he was about to go in.
The two outermost knights stared at Huo Ge with greedy eyes.
But when Leiter's cold gaze swept over, and at the same time, his spiritual power materialized, after a few people's heads were patted lightly...
The four knights at the door seemed to have been cast a hold spell, and their pupils shrank suddenly!
One by one held their breath, their muscles trembled slightly, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
Facing the magister, they can't avoid it, how dare they offend at all?
I was even worried that the other party was in a bad mood, and he didn't like it, so he solved it smoothly.
Even so, I’m afraid no one will take revenge for them at that time...
Successfully entered the interior of the tavern, bright yellow lights sprinkled on the face, a pungent smell of various drinks mixed into the nostrils, and noisy voices lingered in the ears.
Leite looked calm, this scene did not cause the slightest fluctuation in his heart, looked left and right, found a corner where there was no one, walked straight, and sat down directly.
His entry significantly reduced the noise in the tavern by two degrees.
After all, there are not many people who can bring magic pets with them.
All the eyes in the tavern cast their eyes on Leiter's position, most of them were curious, but less greedy and fearful.
Because Leiter concealed his own aura, those who paid attention could not see his strength. Unfamiliar faces, it is difficult to guess the identity.
In short, the old drinkers who hang out in White Pumpkin City have only one judgment - they are strange outsiders.
Rett was lying on the seat, ready to listen to the information here.
Suddenly, there was a burst of rose perfume.
A charming woman with revealing clothes and heavy makeup twisted her waist and came to Leiter with a strong smile.
Instead of choosing to sit down, he deliberately bent down, revealing a snow-white valley on his chest.
Then, a burst of tender laughter sounded in Leiter's ears:
"This gentleman, it should be the first time to come to our Rattlesnake Tavern, a strange face, never seen before..."
Leiter raised his brows, and lightly examined the wine-red short-haired woman in front of him—she looked quite young.
However, with the strength of the opponent's third-level knight, it has a good maintenance effect on the figure and face, and the real age is difficult to distinguish.
He pondered for a moment, and asked directly: "Are you... the lady boss here?"
"Oh no, I'm the boss here, not the boss's wife!" The wine-red short-haired woman emphasized with a smile.
"Hehe." Rhett smiled.
"Do you need any service? Mysterious...Mr. Magician!" The burgundy short-haired woman smiled provocatively, and put a hand on her shoulder in order to go further.
was watched by Leiter's cold eyes, and he took it back...
After the voice fell, a bartender in a black and white dress came first, carrying a tray, and put a glass of dark blue wine mixed with light aroma and alcohol in front of him.
"Sir, use it lightly." The bartender bowed, then turned and left.
"Hey, look, that hottie Lilith is hooking up with another man again." Suddenly, a shrill mocking sound came from elsewhere.
Leite glanced lightly. He was an old man with beards, wearing a jacket on his upper body, with half-white hair, and an arrogant and domineering expression. He was no less than any gangster around him.
Why did Lei Te dare to say that these people are gang members?
Because he saw that there were more than 20 young people beside the bearded old man, each of them had malicious intentions, and their eyes were sweeping back and forth on the wine-red short-haired woman.
Most importantly, Lei Te noticed that the old man who was vaguely the head of many villains in front of him turned out to be a third-level earth magician?
Fully corresponds to the simulation!
"Hey, that's how it is...According to my normal experience, I would come here to inquire about the news...It turned out that this tavern happened to be a gangster member of that earth magician?" Leiter touched his chin, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth. .
Lilith glanced at the old man, and a look of disdain flashed by.
But she looked at Lei Te who suddenly smiled, was startled, and then said:
"Mr. Magician, don't worry about it. He is one of the two major gangsters in White Pumpkin City, the leader of the Mordor Gang, and a third-level earth magician, but... I am afraid that he is far behind you." While speaking, Lilith carefully observed the expression of this mysterious strong man.
As a third-level knight, he couldn't detect the opponent's breath.
Even when he walked in the door, he didn't feel any sense, and only saw the other party purely by inspecting the store environment with his naked eyes.
In this case, there is no doubt that the opponent is definitely a magister-level figure.
"If that's the case, maybe...it can help me." Lilith sighed secretly when she thought of the Earl's persecution.
Rett heard Lilith's words, his heart moved, and he had a whim, and asked: "Gangsters? Don't the nobles here care about the security in the city?"
Leiter doesn’t know about other places. In short, Jinlun Kingdom, most noble territories, absolutely don’t like the so-called gangsters and evil members dictating in the territory and affecting the normal operation and development of the territory.
"Huh?" A look of surprise flashed in Lilith's eyes, and she heard the other party ask this question: "You...you must have come from a long way away, right?"
"Well, it seems that this involves some common sense that is well-known to the local people?" Rhett nodded slightly, but did not respond verbally.
"No wonder..." Lilith suddenly realized, and immediately explained a few words.
After listening to some explanations, Leiter suddenly realized.
It turns out that the White Pumpkin City is the territory of Earl Finan, but he doesn't care much about the management of the territory.
Because the nobles of the Rim Kingdom frequently go to the battlefield to fight against the orcs, there are a large number of new nobles, and the death rate is also high. Maybe I don't know which time, I lost my life on the battlefield.
So... some nobles indulged in this, and did not pay attention to the long-term development of the territory, and only focused on recruiting powerful thugs. Most of these gangsters are knights under Earl Finan. When not going to the battlefield, life is more chic and indulgent.
Leite felt that this was quite similar to the habits of the pirates in the previous life—every time before and after going to sea, he would enjoy it wantonly. After all, he didn't know that he would die in the sea one day in the future. So while you are alive, you should enjoy life as much as possible.
"Sexy girls, how about accepting Master Fei Nan's invitation obediently?" Just as Leiter was thinking, a rather discordant voice came to his ears.
Leite's expression turned cold, he glanced at the gang leader indifferently, and said in his heart: "Since the other party has something to do with the earl here, we must act as soon as possible.
The longer it is delayed, the easier it is to attract unknown changes. "
At this moment, he looked at Lilith: "That Earl Finan invited you to be his subordinate?"
Lilith shook her head, her burgundy hair fluttering, and said, "He invited me...to be his woman."
"Hey, what are you whispering about?
That guest, this woman has already been spotted by Count Finan. "The white-haired old man's eyes flickered, and he calmly said:
"In my place, there are many women for you to taste freely, but I advise you not to think of the person next to you..."
"Too much talk."
Leite looked impatient, took a sip of the wine, and a refreshing taste hit his taste buds. When he looked at the leader of the Maud Gang opposite him, he seemed to be looking at a dead person.
The white-haired old man paused for a while, unable to sense the opponent's strength, a flash of fear flashed in his eyes.
But considering that this is the Earl's territory, I don't believe that the other party dares to mess around here.
However, for the sake of his own safety, he didn't dare to get angry with this mysterious strong man, so he just lowered his voice and said, "This guest, where is he from?"
"Me?" Lei Te stood up, with a look of disdain: "The waters around the coast of Donglan, Manatee Island, the captain behind me is a big pirate."
He lied without blushing.
After all, I remember very clearly in my mind that the great pirate of Manatee Island killed himself once in a certain simulation...
Splash some dirty water, and you will be charged interest in advance.
Donglan coastal area? Sounds familiar...
Hearing Leiter's words, the white-haired old man fell into deep thought, but suddenly he stabbed from the back of his head, and protruded from the center of his brow directly in front, breaking a **** hole, and a stream of fine blood gushed out. out.
"Ah... ah..." A scream and moan sounded intermittently.
Immediately afterwards, the body of the white-haired old man twitched, and soon he fell silent. Then he collapsed and became a corpse.
Sudden changes made the Rattlesnake Tavern instantly silent.
ah!
Then, there were screams of panic, one after another.
When Leiter exploded with terrifying strength, he easily killed a third-level magician in seconds.
The guests in the tavern all knew that this was a terrifying powerhouse at least at the level of a magister.
Because of the violent attack, these people subconsciously thought of the worst, and regarded Leiter as a thug. For safety reasons, they screamed one by one, scrambling to escape out of the tavern.
In a few seconds, the tavern became empty!
Only the messy wine table, the knocked wine glasses, the spilled wine of different colors, and crooked chairs remained.
"This..." Lilith covered her mouth and exclaimed in disbelief.
She never imagined that the mysterious man would kill the leader of the Mord gang just because he disagreed with each other.
"You... hurry up, you will definitely have trouble when Earl Finan arrives." Lilith concealed her panic and kindly reminded: "Although your strength is not afraid of Earl Finan, this is the Kingdom of Rim, not the ocean. , not your home field!"
The other party really thought he was a pirate off the coast of Donglan... Leiter turned his head and glanced at the other party, thought for a while, but didn't speak.
Donglan Coast is far away from the Kingdom of Rim, one is in the southeast corner of the Kingdom of Jinlun, and the other is just in the northwest of the Kingdom of Jinlun, forming a diagonal line.
It is almost impossible to verify his fabricated identity.
The blood of the dead body spread, permeating the wooden floor of the tavern...
Since the person was dead, Leiter stopped procrastinating, stepped forward and grabbed the opponent's collar, and at the same time condensed water elements to freeze the wound area on the forehead to stop the bleeding.
The street outside the door was in a panic, but Lei Te, who had killed an evil gang member, had no psychological burden.
Taking the corpse with him, he turned over and came to Huo Ge's back, and patted him twice: "Let's go, Huo Ge!"
