Chapter 409 408. A Farce
Dacy Christie took a deep breath, opened the door and walked into the tavern first, her long fiery red hair flicked behind her like a burning flame.
If Cole Norton hadn't promised her that a drink in the tavern would be a wonderful end point for this wonderful trip to Hailansa, she would never have had a drink with Cole Norton, not even half a glass. possible.
Looking at the back of Darcy Christie, Cole Norton licked his lips. Why didn't he see Darcy Christie so charming in the swordsman academy? At that time, she was more irritable, more proud, and more aggressive. Now Her aura seemed to be stronger than in the college, but those bad tempers had to be restrained a lot. Cole Norton felt that the long red hair was almost burning in his heart.
He urgently needs a glass of wine to suppress the desire in his heart.
At this time, a knight came out of the shadows beside the tavern, and gestured to Viscount Furnac next to Cole Norton that everything is going well, and Viscount Furnac stood next to Cole Norton and nodded slightly Nodded, then whispered to Cole Norton: "The actors and audience are all in place, it's time for us to perform on stage."
Cole Norton and Viscount Fornak smiled at each other, and they walked into the tavern side by side.
…
Dacy Christie opened the door and walked into the slightly noisy tavern, frowning and looking around, looking for a quieter seat.
But at this time, a table of drinkers stood up around the wine table. One drinker put his arms around the two wine girls without any scruples. Pick up a whole glass of ale and drink it with them. Of course, each glass of ale is paid by the drinker at this table. Moreover, one drink of the ale girl is equal to two glasses, and these liquor girls in the tavern are all very good at drinking.
The drinkers in other seats also looked at this table frequently, and the atmosphere in the tavern was at its peak for a while.
And the drinkers at this table happened to block Miss Darcy's sight, so she didn't see Suldak, Karl, Mrs. Christie and Miss Brenda sitting at the bar drinking.
Cole Norton and Viscount Fornak followed in from outside. Cole quickly chased after Darcy Christie, just blocking her sight completely with his body. Darcy Christy turned sideways slightly, without showing any trace Avoiding Cole's hands on her shoulders, Cole Norton smiled, and moved his hands away in a very gentlemanly manner, asking Miss Darcy to sit on the other side of the bar and discussing with her what to drink.
At this time, Viscount Fornak was already sitting on the high stool, and ordered three glasses of golden cider to the proprietress of the tavern, but his eyes were on Suldak on the other side of the bar, with a hint of complacency on his face.
The proprietress of the tavern glanced at Darcy Christie, and Miss Darcy responded quickly. She blinked at the proprietress of the tavern quickly.
The proprietress of the tavern looked at Cole Norton. This handsome young knight kept courting Miss Darcy. The proprietress of the tavern could tell at a glance that this suitor did not satisfy Darcy. Miss Darcy seemed a little absent-minded and looked like It's on an errand.
The atmosphere near the bar became a little weird. The proprietress of the tavern looked around suspiciously, but she didn't find anything unusual.
She glanced at Mrs. Christie who was sitting on the other side of the bar, filled the tray with four glasses of wine, and leaned towards Mrs. Christie.
The proprietress put her elbows on the bar, smiled faintly, and whispered to Mrs. Christie: "Darcy and two friends are opposite, and it seems that she didn't see you. Do you want to say hello to her?"
Mrs. Christie was slightly taken aback, she poked her head out and looked over there, at first she didn't see Miss Darcy, until the tall young knight turned sideways, revealing half of Miss Darcy's face, looking With an unhappy look on her face, Mrs. Christie hesitated for a moment, she knew that her niece was as proud and irritable as herself.
Thinking of the possibility of being misunderstood, Mrs. Christie didn't intend to go over to say hello to Darcy, but just casually asked the proprietress of the tavern: "Oh? She doesn't have many friends in Hailansa City. Who are they?"
The lady proprietress of the tavern stared at an account book on the table without raising her head, and whispered to Mrs. Christie: "The youngest son of the Earl of Funac, he is very introverted and has some eccentricities, and he is rarely seen at ordinary times. He came out of the house, and I don't know the other young man."
Ms. Christie looked away calmly, and said with a smile: "Since I am not familiar with her, I don't want to go over and face her cold face, just take care of me for a while later."
"It's up to you." The proprietress of the tavern pursed her lips, turned around and stood by the sink to clean the cups.
Carl saw Mrs. Christie and the proprietress whispering, and leaned into Mrs. Christie's ear and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Darcy seems to be over there..." Mrs. Christie pointed to the other side of the bar and said to Carl.
…
Miss Darcy sat on the high stool with a depressed face. Although it was the tavern she was most familiar with, the proprietress of the tavern and her aunt Mrs. Marianna Christie had been best friends for many years, but this still made her feel uncomfortable. After wandering around here for nearly a whole day, she just wants to go home quickly, take a bath in the warm bathtub, and then have a good sleep.
The face that used to look super handsome from any angle now made her feel a little annoying, she couldn't help turning her head to the other side, pretending to look at the decoration in the tavern, he began to think about when he produce this psychological change.
The young Viscount Furnak sat on the other side of Cole Norton. His face was pale and he had a gloomy temperament, like a cold-blooded gray iguana in a barren land. Although he had a faint smile on his face, his gaze But it was cold.
Darcy picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the slightly sour golden cider. The golden cider in this tavern was produced in Sloit City, and it tasted sour.
"Hey, buddy, listen to me, the road outside the city is impassable now, if you don't make any preparations, you will be frozen to death outside." The companion who chased up from behind kindly persuaded and said.
"Take your hand away, don't stop me!"
The middle-aged alcoholic threw away his friend who was catching up from behind. He used a bit of strength. The friend couldn't stand still and was thrown directly to the oak board outside the bar, and two high stools were smashed immediately. Yang, was knocked down by that friend, his body lost his balance, and one hand happened to touch Darcy Christie's goblet.
‘Boom…’
Miss Darcy's wine glass was knocked out by that person, the wine in the glass spilled all over Miss Darcy, and the glass fell to the ground and shattered.
Cole Norton took the opportunity to hold Miss Darcy in his arms, and pushed the man away. The man lost his balance and fell to the edge of the bar.
Cole thought that all of this was done perfectly, at least the connection was very smooth, and he asked Miss Darcy very considerately: "Darsey, are you hurt?"
Viscount Fornak, who was sitting by the side, stood up and scolded the drunk and the friend who hit Darcy Christie,
Facing the reprimand from Viscount Fornak, the drunk suddenly felt sober and apologized to Miss Darcy.
Viscount Fornac yelled loudly: "Don't stay here, get out!"
The two were like dingy mice, ready to sneak from the side aisle to the back door of the tavern.
Col Norton half put his arms around Miss Daxi, proudly looked in the direction of Suldak and his group, just in time to meet Suldak's gaze, and there was even a trace of sarcasm in his smug smile.
…
Under the guidance of Mrs. Christie, Suldak and Karl looked in the direction Mrs. Christie was looking at.
I happened to see a tall young knight with one arm around Darcy Christie's waist, and Darcy Christie was almost clinging to his arms. With a smug smile, he even glanced at Suldak.
He intentionally moved his head to the side of Darcy's face, and it seemed that the two were almost touching each other. Mrs. Christie was shocked by this intimate gesture, and she covered her mouth with her hand to prevent people from seeing her like this. What a moment of surprise.
Before there was any reaction from here, Miss Darcy suddenly stood up, snatched the wine glass from Cole Norton's hand, followed closely and poured it on the head of the alcoholic friend. Drenched the man into a drenched chicken, and this was not over yet, she moved the drunkard's shoulder with one hand, pushed him against the gray wall with brute force, and slapped the drunkard heavily on the face.
Before the drunkard could react, he grabbed his collar by the collar, raised his knee and pressed it hard against the drunkard's chest, and the drunkard was hit by Dacie Christie's knee and fell to the ground, bending his whole body on the ground Only prawns.
Under the gazes of the drinkers around, Miss Darcy straightened her wrinkled skirt, rubbed her hands, and walked directly in front of Cole Norton and Viscount Fornak, and said with a look of disgust: "I don't I need to apologize, whoever offended me, I usually get it back on the spot!"
This sentence immediately made Cole Norton blush. Sitting on the high chair, he didn't know how to answer the following words. It was obvious that Darcy Christie was alluding to the fight in the city of Handanal earlier. A group of young swordsmen from the graduation class The soldiers were knocked unconscious with a wooden stick by a reserve knight in the streets of the city.
Pulling the 'Beina Advanced Swordsman Academy', the first school for senior swordsmen in the Grimm Empire, from the altar, the gold-lettered signboard in people's eyes is not even as good as a heavy armored infantry soldier who has fought on the battlefield for four years. The slap in the face of Zhong Chiguoguo also made the teachers in the academy deeply reflect on what went wrong, which made the swordsmen who came out of the academy unable to adapt to the war of planes...
For those graduates who returned to the academy in desperation after being beaten up, there has always been a voice in the academy: 'After being beaten, they don't even have the courage to get back to the place immediately...'
Obviously, Dacie Christie brought up the old story again this time, which deeply stimulated Cole Norton, and his face with a faint smile turned cold all of a sudden.
Dacie Christie went forward without giving way, and was about to make a move if there was a disagreement. The Viscount Furnark who was sitting next to him lightly pressed Cole Norton's shoulder with one hand, which made Cole Norton Under the rage, he still maintained his sanity.
Darcy Christie was arguing when she suddenly saw Suldak and Mrs. Christie sitting on the other side of the bar. She was slightly dazed, and turned her head to look suspiciously at Cole Norton and Fornaker. The Viscount shook his long red hair and walked towards Suldak.
Dacie Christie walked up to Suldak with a normal expression, without even throwing a glance at Miss Brenda. The strong aura made Miss Brenda take two steps back knowingly. Only when she got close to Mrs. Christie, could she To feel a little safer.
"Why are you all here?" Miss Darcy asked Suldak.
Suldak spread his hands with a wry smile on his face, and explained: "Carl and I are going on a mission tomorrow morning. Before we leave, we made an appointment to come here for a drink."
Miss Daxi looked at Suldak with a gloomy expression, and said in a low voice: "Then... I wish you the best of luck!"
Then Miss Darcy turned around stubbornly, and strode out of the tavern without looking back.
Mrs. Christie glanced at Miss Brenda, then gave Carl an apologetic look, and left everyone behind to catch up quickly.
