Not only this person was a regular customer, but other people who were familiar with John also showed surprise.

The women who were serving wine and engaging in the sex trade, carrying plates, looked at John with bold and passionate eyes.

This is the charm of gold coins.

John suddenly became the focus of the entire pub.

John picked up the red wine, shook it gently, then smelled it and finally took a sip. After drinking it, a look of intoxication appeared on his handsome face. He didn't know how many years it had been since he had drunk such high-end wine.

After a while, John answered the question of this familiar customer with a radiant face, saying: "A great man sponsored me with a large sum of gold coins, allowing me to settle down and write my poems. You know, poetry, such an elegant literature, cannot be written without a stable environment."

John's face and body exuded the aura of a poet, and he instantly looked noble.

But the guests who knew what kind of bards were curled their lips and thought to themselves.

"Old John got lucky. He kidnapped a noble lady from somewhere. That's why he's so generous. As for the large sum of money he provided, it's just the money for keeping the mistress."

I have to admit that there is a hint of jealousy in the hearts of drinkers. Some people make a living with their bodies, while others make a living with their looks.

People who make a living by their looks often live a more comfortable life.

John looked at the envious, jealous and hateful eyes cast from all around him, and felt a little elated in his heart. It had been many years since he had enjoyed such treatment.

It feels so comfortable.

John took a deep breath and suppressed his thoughts. Because he finally remembered something serious, John pretended to be calm and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Recently, something big happened in Orange. Do you know?"

"What's the matter?" John successfully attracted the attention of the guests in the tavern, and at this moment one of the guests couldn't help but ask.

Only the boss was standing behind the bar, wiping the wine glasses with a cloth, even though the glasses were already very clean, he was still wiping them.

The boss knew that John's job was a bard, and the literal meaning of the word "bard" was very clear.

Bard, poet.

Traveling around the world with a mouth, living with a mouth, whether down and out or rising to prominence, poets are just part-timers. As for being kept by someone, it has only become popular in recent decades.

In the early days, bards made a living by talking.

The boss saw John's behavior after he entered the pub and knew what he was going to do. But he didn't care, because as long as there were customers in the pub, it would become a gathering place for information.

A good place to publicize things and gather intelligence.

John is not the first and he won't be the last.

"The famous Autumn Wind Thieves' Group has been destroyed. You should know that this group of thieves is a large and famous group of thieves. The leader is a high-level knight named Omimar. It is said that he is only one step away from becoming a great knight. He has more than 50 intermediate knights, more than 100 junior knights, and two wizards under his command."

John said this in an exaggerated tone, vividly.

The boss paused as he was wiping the cup. As an insider, he knew this gang of thieves and he was sure that John himself had improved the strength of the Autumn Wind Thieves Gang.

As far as he knew, although the Autumn Wind Thieves' Gang was also a large-scale thieves' gang in Orange, its strength should be in the middle and lower reaches.

It's not as exaggerated as John said.

But only the boss knew it so clearly. Most people didn't know what the Autumn Wind Thieves Gang was. They only had a preliminary understanding from John's mouth.

And such a gang of thieves was actually wiped out.

"Such a powerful gang of thieves was actually wiped out? Did the Count of Libya send out his troops?" a guest exclaimed.

The other guests also looked shocked.

Seeing that the guests had taken the bait, John raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then shook his head and said, "It is the Pompeii family who took action."

"The Pompeii family? Never heard of it." The guests shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know anything about it. This was normal. Before this, who would have known about a small knight family in the countryside of Patton County?

And it was John's job to promote the Pompey family.

John said with a respectful expression and a respectful tone, "The Pompeii family is a great family, and the Pompeii knights of all generations are powerful and brave great knights."

"Knights of Pompeii??? Is this a knight family?" The guests couldn't help but say in surprise, and some of them suddenly realized that it was a knight family and no wonder they had never heard of it.

Because there are so many knight families in Orange, maybe seven or eight hundred.

Who can write them down one by one?

"It is indeed a knight family. The Pompey Knights of all generations are powerful vassals under Baron Patton." John nodded.

"I have heard of Baron Barton. He is a middle-to-lower class noble in the entire Orange Province. I believe he sent troops to destroy the Autumn Wind Bandits, but he is a knight family."

"Yes, I have only heard of great nobles sending troops to eliminate large bandit groups, but I have never heard of a knight family sending troops to eliminate a knight group."

"I find it hard to believe that a small knight family can be so powerful."

The guests were talking among themselves, and all of them were more or less skeptical.

"What's so surprising about this? Aren't the Morgan Knight Family and the Jones Knight Family both powerful knight families?" John showed a look of ignorance and said in a contemptuous tone.

The guests were speechless for a while. The knight families listed by John were indeed the famous knight families of Orange. Although they were not actual nobles, if their individual strength was listed, they might be comparable to the Orange nobles at the bottom.

Often these knight families are important officials of the most prominent noble families in Orange.

"The nickname of the Pompeii knight of this generation is "Golden Lion Thor" because he fought bravely, like a lion, so he got this nickname. He is a senior knight."

"The Pompeii family is a powerful family that is developing into a top knight family. It currently has more than 30 knights and a wizard under its command, and is also building a city."

John said in a respectful tone.

"So that's how it is." The guests suddenly realized. But then another guest asked in confusion: "Even if it's as you said, John, the Pompeii family has strong power, but it's not as strong as the Autumn Wind Thieves Group. How did the Pompeii family wipe out the Autumn Wind Thieves Group?"

"Yes, this strength cannot be compared with the Autumn Wind Thieves' Gang at all." The other guests also came to their senses and were extremely worried.

"Of course, the Pompeii family is no match for the Autumn Wind Thieves Group, so they used 100,000 gold coins to hire the Sabertooth Tiger Mercenary Group, and the two sides joined forces to wipe out the Autumn Wind Thieves Group."

John was prepared for this and even hoped that the topic would develop in this direction, so he spoke clearly.

Here comes the fourth update. Please vote for recommendation.
