Chapter 474: Tavern Brawl
Tavern thugs can basically deal with high-level magicians and high-level swordsmen. The ugly guy is the strongest, and even the magician and the greatswordsman are no match for him.
So the tavern owner was confident and did not speak out to stop the customers when they were making trouble.
She demanded heavy compensation from them for the tavern's losses.
However, the guests who were causing trouble today were unexpectedly ferocious. In just a short while, they had smashed all the tables and chairs in the pub, causing incalculable losses.
The boss felt very distressed and regretted speaking up too late. If he had known earlier, he would have stepped in to mediate when the magician and the female orc started arguing.
Now that the damage has been done, it's too late to say anything. I hope the ugly guy will teach these rude guys a lesson.
The appearance of the ugly monster and the thugs did not stop the two troublemakers from fighting.
The female orc got into a fight with Amanda and attacked her madly in an attempt to regain her self-esteem.
Amanda handled it easily, the sword in her hand accurately blocking her broadsword. Her agility made the female orc look extremely clumsy in comparison.
Although he usually disguises himself as a magician, he is not a squishy person.
The dragon race has thick skin and flesh, and can attack from a distance as well as in close combat. They are even more powerful than ordinary warriors who practice both magic and sword.
It was wishful thinking for the female orc to defeat him.
Murray ran around here and there, treating the dwarf like a kite, which made the dwarf so angry that he started cursing.
After the young swordsman faced the Elf King, he felt insulted.
Because the opponent never drew his sword, he could easily counterattack with his scabbard.
Shu Li, Sadler, and Hector cast some auxiliary magic to trip up the Demon Hunters.
For example, slowing down, stunning, and freezing.
The troublemaking adventurers were fighting fiercely, turning a deaf ear to the ugly monster's words, while the tavern owner gave orders with a grim face.
"Ugly freaks, come on! Beat them all up!"
She's going to bankrupt them!
If she lets these adventurers continue to fight, she will no longer have the opportunity to open her tavern.
The ugly monsters and thugs received the boss's order and rushed forward. Both the Light Team and the Demon Hunter Group were their targets of attack.
Shu Li winked at Hector.
The target person is here.
Hector stared at the ugly monster with wide eyes.
It is clearer to observe closely than to use your perception.
The ugly one has blue eyes.
Hector quickly went over the appearances of the four squire knights in his mind. The ones with blue eyes were Ailin and Daner.
Ailin is his father's squire knight, and Daner is his second uncle's squire knight.
He glanced regretfully at the ugly bald head.
If he had hair, we would be able to recognize him immediately.
hateful!
He shaved his head on purpose.
Perhaps it was because Hector's eyes were too resentful, the ugly monster looked over with a sharp gaze. When he met his face, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, untied the sword wrapped in cloth on his back, and attacked the three low-level magicians.
Low-level magicians are vulnerable, so as long as we capture them first, we can control one side.
How could Shuli, Sadler, and Hector just stand there and let him attack? Seeing him attacking, they turned and ran towards the Elf King.
They want to pit the Ugly Monster against the Elf King.
The Elf King naturally also noticed the situation on their side. While fighting with the swordsman, he moved and protected the three magicians behind him.
So, he was outnumbered.
The other eight thugs, divided into two groups, attacked Morrissey, Amanda, the dwarf, and the female orc respectively.
The situation became even more chaotic after the thugs intervened.
The tavern owner hid behind the bar, watching the tables and chairs shattered to the ground, holding his heart and gasping for breath.
Fortunately, the bar was not affected, otherwise the good wine on the shelf behind him would be ruined.
The ugly monster and the swordsman joined forces, but they were still helpless against the blond swordsman. The two looked at each other, feeling depressed.
Apart from his handsome face, this blond swordsman's equipment is ordinary, and the unsheathed sword in his hand is unremarkable. How could his swordsmanship be so superb?
Could it be that... he is a high-level swordsman who deliberately disguised himself as a low-level swordsman?
The Elf King attacked from both sides and defended himself impenetrably. Even when surrounded by two swordsmen, he was still at ease.
However, this is not the situation Shu Li wants.
If we want to force the ugly monster to untie the blue cloth that wraps the long sword, we have to lure away the swordsman of the Demon Hunter Group.
He shook his magic wand and silently and instantly cast the Wood Entanglement spell, binding the swordsman's ankles.
The swordsman was suddenly unable to move and was horrified. He looked down and found that his legs had been tripped by a green vine at some point.
Without Shu Li's reminder, Hector and Sadler chanted a short spell at the same time.
One released an earth wall and the other released a fireball to trap the swordsman.
With one less opponent, the Elf King took the opportunity to lure the ugly monster away and fight him one-on-one.
The ugly monster saw that another swordsman was entangled by three magicians and ignored him. The strength of the blond swordsman in front of him should not be underestimated, and he had to use his real skills to fight him.
The two men fought back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, one with an unsheathed sword and the other with a sword wrapped in cloth, both holding back.
As the battle dragged on, the ugly monster felt that he was gradually getting tired. It seemed as if every attack he made was seen through and was useless. The blond swordsman became more and more courageous and hit faster and faster, making him a little unable to resist.
If I don't use my sword moves, I'm afraid I'll lose.
The ugly guy hadn't encountered such a tough guy for a long time. A ruthless light flashed in his blue eyes. He didn't bother to ask the boss for instructions and directly used the cross slash.
A flash of sword light passed by, and it rushed towards the Elf King with the force of thunder.
The Elf King did not dodge or evade, but raised the sword of Bersuger in his hand and easily blocked the attack.
“Zheng——”
The piercing sound of swords echoed throughout the tavern.
The boss, hiding behind the bar, gnashed his teeth. "I'm going to die! I shouldn't have opened the shop today!"
As the battle escalated, the tavern's decoration could no longer be saved.
She was so angry that she looked around and found an empty wine bottle on the ground. She bent down to pick it up, swung it hard, and threw it at the ugly monster.
“Snap—”
The empty wine bottle smashed to the ground and shattered into glass shards, successfully attracting the attention of the ugly monster.
"If you want to fight, go out and fight! Don't destroy my tavern!"
The boss yelled.
The ugly monster and the thugs immediately took action, leading the troublemaking adventurers towards the door.
The Elf King was taken to the street by the ugly monster.
The streets were filled with gossiping townspeople. Although they didn't dare go in when a commotion broke out in the tavern, they stood nearby and watched, pointing and talking from time to time. Some of them gloated over the misfortune, while others sympathized with the tavern owner.
As the fighting moved into the street, the watching townspeople retreated.
Having lived in the town long enough, and having a lot of experience in reading gossip, you must stay away from fights, otherwise you will suffer.
There was a large open space around the Ugly Monster and the Elf King, enough for them to fight hard.
The Elf King changed his conservative style of fighting in the tavern and suddenly drew his sword.
The magic sword was unsheathed with such majestic momentum that the air seemed to freeze, making people feel creepy.
The ugly monster's pupils suddenly contracted, and the sword in his hand trembled violently. He shouted and drew his sword to compete with the opponent's sword.
However, it was impossible for the ugly monster to remove the blue cloth that wrapped the sword.
Just now, he saw a magician who looked familiar.
If the age difference hadn't occurred, he would have almost thought it was an old friend returning.
Over the years, he has been cautious and has never revealed any flaws, and today is naturally the same as always.
His eyes were cold and he was fully alert as he fought against the blond swordsman.
However, the Elf King did not give him any chance to conserve his strength. With the sword of Bersuger in his hand, he continuously used Light Slash, Wind Slash, and Flame Slash. The intensive attacks forced the ugly monster to retreat again and again.
"Bang--"
The ugly monster's sacred heart shield was shattered, and his body was overturned by the huge impact force, falling heavily to the ground.
“Snap!”
When he quickly stood up, the mask on his face shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
He subconsciously covered his face with his hands.
However, the Elf King's next wave of attacks has arrived.
Lightning Thorn——
The ugly monster's muscles tensed up, and he felt death approaching. If he couldn't block this attack, he would die here today.
Survival is human instinct.
All worries disappeared.
The ugly monster subconsciously untied the blue cloth wrapped around the sword and drew it out.
"when--"
The sharp sword was unsheathed, blocking the Elf King's attack in time.
Having achieved his goal, the Elf King suddenly withdrew his strength, his body flashed and retreated.
The ugly monster was sweating profusely, panting while holding the sword, and his uneven face looked even uglier under the street light.
"Uncle Ailin!"
The loud noise of the two swords colliding caused a brief tinnitus in the ugly monster's ears. He shook his head, thinking he was hallucinating.
"Uncle Ailin."
The young man's voice clearly penetrated his ears, and the ugly monster's body shook, finally realizing that it was not an auditory hallucination.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the door of the tavern.
At this time, there were five people and eleven "zongzi" standing in front of the tavern.
The ugly guy opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Shu Li shrugged his shoulders and tapped the unconvinced dwarf with his magic wand.
After the battle between the Elf King and the Ugly Monster moved to the street outside the tavern, they no longer dealt with the Demon Hunters.
Shu Li unleashed his ultimate move without hesitation, tying up the female orc, the dwarf, the swordsman, and eight thugs like dumplings with green vines, and then cast dark magic to temporarily imprison them.
The magician took over the eleven "zongzi" with one move, and they were stunned.
Shu Li smiled and used wind magic to transport them to the door of the tavern. He politely bowed to the tavern owner and walked out gracefully with his friends.
The tavern owner looked shocked, his mouth so wide open that two quail eggs could fit in it.
Shu Li and others stood at the door, acting as onlookers, watching the Elf King force the ugly monster to remove the wrappings and reveal the true appearance of the sword.
When Hector saw the golden sword, he immediately recognized who he was.
The ugly guy is my father’s squire knight—Alin!
"Uncle Ailin! I finally found you!"
Hector walked towards the ugly man and stood in front of him, his silver-gray eyes moist.
The ugly guy... or rather Ailin gripped the golden sword tightly in his hand and looked at the young man in front of him warily.
Hector knew that he didn't dare to recognize him, so he took the initiative to reveal his identity. "I'm Hector Snowworth, do you remember? When we were little, I often rode you like a horse."
Ailin's blue eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly stood up, supporting himself with his sword, his sharp eyes fixed on Hector's face.
The young man's handsome face slowly overlapped with his master's face.
Silver-gray eyes are a characteristic of the Snowwo family.
Is he... really Master Hector?
Seeing Arlin's emotion, Hector continued. "Don't underestimate my youth. I'm actually over forty years old and now a high-ranking archmage. No one in my family can rival me. I came here to find the true cause of my father's death. I'm glad to meet you... It's great that you're alive!"
After he finished speaking, Hector couldn't help but choke up.
At this moment, Ailin's attitude finally softened, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Hector gradually became excited.
"Squire Knight... Ailin, greetings... Master Hector..."
Ailin knelt on one knee and spoke in a hoarse voice.
