Chapter 9: Kovagr Bloodsucking Monster (IV)



Hu Yong glanced at the guard at the door, grabbed the coat on the counter, and climbed out from under the counter.

Looking at the guard standing at the door, Hu Yong turned around to glance at the body of the tavern owner and sighed. It seemed that he would be busy now.

"head……

Boss."

The guard behind him looked at the person climbing over the counter and bumped into his boss in panic.

Jim finally came back to his senses from what had just happened, and looked at Hu Yong nervously and whispered.

"Please...

Put down your weapons and follow us."

Hu Yong lowered his sword and looked at Jim, "I can go by myself, take me to your lord."

Jim tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword at his waist upon hearing this, but the next moment he remembered the strength of the man in front of him, silently loosened the hilt, bowed slightly, and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I can't make the decision on this, please wait a moment."

Then he said to the back, "Zlatko, go report to Lord Dronkomiu what happened here."

The last thin guard responded and quickly left from the door.

Hu Yong also relaxed a little after seeing this. "Don't worry, I'm not bloodthirsty, it's just that there are problems with these people. You've also seen what the owner of this tavern is hiding."

Jim stood at the door in silence and did not respond.

Hu Yong didn't care about his attitude. He put Toharne back into the scabbard, put on his black coat, sat on the wooden stool beside the counter, and waited patiently.

At this time, the thugs in the corner saw that the situation seemed to have calmed down, and slowly walked towards the door, "That...

My Lord, I...

Can we leave now?"

Jim looked at the panicked and nervous thugs, drew his sword, pointed it at them, and said, "Go back and wait."

The thugs were startled by the sudden drawing of the sword, and some even collapsed to the ground. After hearing the words, they hurriedly retreated to the corner.

After a while, hurried footsteps were heard at the door, and the thin guard who had gone out earlier pushed the door open and walked in, followed by two well-equipped soldiers.

The three men walked into the tavern and stopped beside Jim. The two soldiers looked inside the tavern and looked at each other.

A soldier walked forward a few steps and looked at Hu Yong, "Are you the one who wants to see the lord?"

"Yes, I saw the reward notice at the fork in the road on the grassland."

Hu Yong stood up and looked at the soldier seriously.

With many years of training experience in his memory, Hu Yong could tell at a glance that these two soldiers had received special training and their physical fitness was almost improved to the limit that normal humans could achieve.

Hu Yong's eyes became serious. It seemed that the situation here was extremely complicated. He hadn't even figured out the basic situation of this world yet, and he had already encountered such troubles.

After asking the question, the soldier did not look at Hu Yong again. His eyes swept across the corpses on the ground and finally fell on the body of the tavern owner.

He walked around Hu Yong and approached the counter from the side. He squatted down and carefully examined the body of the tavern owner. After a few minutes, he stood up and nodded to the soldier next to Jim. Another soldier nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Is that Jim, the captain of the 7th squad of the City Guard?"

Jim straightened up when he heard his name called, "Yes, what do you want me to do?"

"We will take care of the situation here. You can take this person to the castle to meet the lord."

"Yes, that group in that corner...

How to deal with it? "

"Don't worry about it, we'll take care of it."

Jim sighed. Even though he didn't like these hooligans who were always causing trouble, they were all from the same town after all. He still felt a little sorry for them after guessing their fate.

Putting away his emotions, he looked at Hu Yong and said, "Sir, please follow us."

Hu Yong heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed that the problem could be solved, and then nodded, "Lead the way, I will follow."

Hearing this, Jim waved his hand and walked out of the tavern with his men. Hu Yong followed them to the door. Suddenly, he heard screams and cries behind him. He turned around and looked into the tavern. He saw two soldiers attacking the thugs.

Seeing this, Hu Yong shook his head, didn't say much, and walked out of the pub...

…On the way to the castle, many patrols holding torches passed by Hu Yong and his group.

"Are you guys on such tight security here?"

Hu Yong asked with some doubt. Jim stopped and turned around, frowning, "Don't you know, sir?

You came here just to catch the blood-sucking monsters, but you don't even know this."

Hu Yong suddenly realized and felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't show it on his face. "Has the blood-sucking monster caused such a big commotion? I just saw the notice and I'm not sure what happened specifically."

Jim nodded in understanding, turned around and continued walking, saying as he walked, "That's right, you just came to Kovagr today.

You should be from the Northern Wilderness, right? "

“I have always lived in a remote village and I am not very clear about the situation outside and I don’t quite understand these things.

But why do I feel like you have a lot of opinions about Beihuang?"

Jim was a little confused, but after all, it was someone else's private matter, so he didn't ask too much, so he had to explain patiently, "Because most of the people in the Northern Wilderness are barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood, and their words and deeds are simply unreasonable. They usually engage in plundering and robbery.

Therefore, the people on Longwa Continent generally don’t like people from the Northern Wilderness.”

Hu Yong nodded silently. It seemed that he would have to change his accent in the future, otherwise he would be targeted wherever he went.

They chatted about some common sense things, such as the value of currency, which was jointly issued and recognized by 70% of the countries on the Longwa continent and could be circulated and used in most places on the Longwa continent.

The basis of currency was the copper coin. One hundred copper coins were equivalent to a small silver coin of one farong. Then there were the standard small and large silver coins worth five farongs and the large silver coin of ten farongs. Finally, the standard gold coin and the large gold coin represented the highest denominations of fifty and one hundred farongs respectively.

The monthly expenses for a normal family of three are about three farangs.

Then they talked about some local customs and habits, and they arrived in front of the castle. Jim stopped and looked at Hu Yong, "This is it, we can only go this far, and you can do the rest by yourself. If you report your intention later, someone will take you in."

Hu Yong nodded and bowed to Jim. "Thank you very much. It was a pleasure chatting with you. I wonder if I can chat with you again in the future."

Jim was a little surprised, then he laughed and imitated Hu Yong's gesture to cup his hands, "Is this the etiquette over there? It's quite interesting. If you want to find me, just go to the North City Barracks and tell me my name. You're welcome anytime."

Hu Yong looked at Jim's formal bowing and smiled. He pointed at Jim's hand and said, "It is indeed the etiquette over there, but it should be left up and right down. Right up and left down is used for funerals."

Jim quickly put down his hand and coughed nervously. "Ah, I'll leave now. Come see me more often when you have time."

After saying this, he led his men back in the direction they came from.

Hu Yong looked at him with a smile on his face. After the figure had gone far away, he turned around and walked towards the castle gate...
