Chapter 74 73: Continued Fermentation (Seeking follow-up reading, monthly ticket)
Fisherman's Harbor,
Night, Beauty Tavern.
A sailor aboard the Percinus, Humphrey was a famous and eccentric bachelor.
He always said that he would just be poor in this life and that he didn't need to get married and have children, and let a woman and child suffer with him.
Therefore, he was unwilling to get married, even if a woman took the initiative to get close to him, and even though his salary was actually not small, it still could not change his mind.
This made him look like a weird person in the eyes of others, but he didn't care.
Of course, as a bachelor, he still had some money, and his favorite thing was drinking.
The reason why the Beauty Tavern is famous in Fisherman's Harbor is because the owner is a hot beauty and the barmaids she employs are also quite pretty.
This makes the pub's business much better than other pubs.
However, if you think you can have fun here under the influence of alcohol, I'm sorry, the female boss will let you know that you can be unrestrained anywhere except here.
However, today, when Humphrey walked into the pub, the noise suddenly quieted down.
But he didn't care at all. After walking to a chair and sitting down, he shouted loudly and asked for a glass of the best ale.
A plump bartender came forward quickly, offered a glass of dark beer, and gave a subtle hint.
But Humphrey seemed not to notice, he drank the wine in big gulps, feeling relaxed all over, and looked slightly tipsy.
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out: "Humphrey, I heard that you made a lot of money this time?"
Humphrey took another gulp and finished his glass of wine. Then he stood up and said loudly, "You want to know?"
"Of course I want to know!"
"Our trip was thrilling, with many near-death experiences, but we also gained a lot.
But if you want to know the details, I'm wondering who's willing to pay for my next drink?"
After he said this, there was silence for a moment. Finally, someone spoke up and said, "This drink is on me!"
As he spoke, three copper Tire coins were thrown into the air, drew an arc, and landed on the long table in the tavern.
Immediately, a wine girl took the copper coin and brought Humphrey a glass of ale.
Humphrey took it and took another sip, his eyes cunning and clear as he enjoyed it.
Putting down his wine glass, he said, "This voyage actually has to start with Mr. Maruna Marquez, the owner of the Xiangsheli Magic Textile Factory.
Everyone knows how difficult the Divine Grace Festival was, right? His two children..."
A "story" that has touched the hearts of countless people.
So, that night, Humphrey changed three pubs and gave the speech no less than six times.
Finally, after getting himself drunk, he calmed down.
…
East of the city,
A residential area.
The big man holding the bow was covered with various gifts. When he happily opened the door of his house, his expression suddenly changed.
Various gifts were scattered on the ground, and two sharp blades extended from the bow, but before he could pull out the arrow, a long sword was already placed on his wife's neck.
The force seemed to be a little too great, resulting in a blood mark.
What's even more terrible is that the man with the bow could feel two more people appear behind him. Although they didn't draw their weapons, just the look in their eyes on him was enough to make people's hair stand on end.
The man holding the bow immediately raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to rob me, I still have some money in my waist bag, you can take it.
As long as my family isn't harmed, everything else is fine."
At this time, someone nearby spoke up, "I heard that when Maruna went to pay the ransom, your Bauhinia Mercenary Group escorted him the entire time?"
The big man holding the bow turned his head slightly and saw the man sitting at the table.
Although he was also wearing black leather armor, a black cloak, and a mask covering his face, his features could not be seen clearly.
But considering his experience, the tone of his voice, the way he sits, and the elegance of his manners, these are not things that ordinary people can possess.
This is a nobleman!
After coming to this conclusion, the bow-wielding man was startled and lowered his posture even more: "Yes, I accepted the mission, and I encountered a lot of things during this trip to the sea."
"I'm somewhat interested in what you've been through. Can you tell me in detail?"
"Okay, I'll tell you everything I know. I just have one request. I hope you can let my family go after you're sure I'm not lying."
"Okay! Then tell me, who were the enemies you encountered on this trip?"
"There are many. Pirates, navy, swordsmen, and troublemakers. Which one do you want to know about specifically?"
"You seem to talk too much?!"
"Then I will start from the beginning, explain it bit by bit, without missing a beat. If you have any questions, you can ask them at any time and I will answer them.
Is that okay?
"good!"
For a full hour, the bow-wielding man described his experiences in great detail, leaving out nothing from his perspective.
The man also questioned repeatedly until he verified that there was no contradiction in what the man with the bow said, and then he stopped.
After they left, the big man with the bow finally hugged his wife and children, his eyes emitting a fierce light.
After all, he is a second-level combat professional, how could he not have a temper?
But after just a few breaths, he laughed bitterly again.
Thinking about the request of the person on the boat, he suddenly understood that the other party was paving a way out for them.
…
Herbert, the boatswain of the Percinus, was also well-liked on board.
But he never expected that he would be hit with a club and dragged to a place that looked like a torture chamber just after he got off the boat.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the burning branding iron, the skinning knife, dark red blood stains everywhere, and the strong and indelible smell of rust at the tip of his nose...
He felt like he was going crazy, and what was even crazier was that a group of people stripped off his clothes and made gestures as if they were going to torture him.
Just when he was about to piss himself, someone finally came and asked, "Haven't you figured out the details yet?"
Before the torturers could speak, Herbert started to cry "wuwuwuwu".
The rope around his mouth was pulled free, and he shouted almost without hesitation: "What do you want to know? Ask? Ask?"
"You didn't even ask, so how do you know I don't want to talk? You even sealed my mouth, so I can't even speak if I want to."
"You, what do you mean?"
Inside the cell, Herbert's accusations were so eloquent that the visitor was somewhat confused. He asked, "You didn't ask?"
But the executioner felt even more aggrieved: "Captain, no, Boss, you didn't tell us what to ask?"
"Oh, is that so? Um, um, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you."
“Wuwuwu…”
…
slums,
In the shadowy corner, a purse was thrown out. The elder brother of the twin detectives took it, added some padding to make sure there was enough money, and then grinned.
A deep voice came from the shadows: "I'll give you the money, but if the information you give me is wrong, it will cost you your life."
"Don't worry, my information is absolutely the most accurate.
Besides, that person really didn't intend to hide anything, so he told us to tell you everything and take the money."
The deep voice seemed a little unbelievable: "He really said that?"
"Not only did he say that, he also asked us to do it. If you don't believe it, listen to the rumors later. I guarantee that every word is correct!"
"That's interesting. Tell me, what kind of person is this illegitimate son of Count Raymond?"
The question made the elder twin detective's brother stunned and he didn't speak for a long time.
Only when the deep voice began to urge him impatiently did he speak softly, "I've never seen such a terrifying person!"
…
The next day,
The early morning sun shines down, dispelling the darkness and cold.
In the executive hall,
Lord Dorji Petrovich devoured his breakfast in big mouthfuls, sipping the strong coffee, and his eyes couldn't help but squint.
On the side, a young man with blond hair and extremely elegant and capable manners reported to him, and the content was Luo Yi's sea trip.
Until one moment, after hearing the twin detectives' older brother's evaluation, Dorji couldn't help but stop eating and looked up slightly:
"He said that Roy was the scariest person he had ever met?"
"That's what the detective said!"
"Haha, a frog in a well can only see the sky, how dare you speak such nonsense?"
Dorji sneered, but paused before continuing, "Of course, I have to admit that this kid is quite lucky. He actually got such a reward."
"Merry Aaron is also a loser. We gave him so much support and even sent a demon mage of extraordinary rank, yet he lost so miserably?!"
"Waste! Waste! Such waste!"
He shouted angrily several times, showing his attitude. At this moment, the blond young man said, "Sir Archon, should we do this?"
"No need to go to so much trouble. That fortune is not so easy to get. Who knows how many people are eyeing it?
Let's wait and see what happens. It won't be too late to take action once things change!"
"yes!"
The young man responded, and when he saw that Dorji had no more instructions, he walked out.
However, after only half an hour, he knocked on the door again.
"Sir Archon, Naroyi has attacked again!"
"What did he do again?"
"He, he, he is sending people to return the bodies of those kidnapped families?"
Dorji was stunned for dozens of breaths, then suddenly laughed: "You are quite quick-witted, but I wonder if you really have the ability to get through this?"
"I just want to see how you perform?!"
I forgot the time, please forgive me!
