The right hand clenched into a fist was gently placed on the dark brown bar, and the curved thumb suddenly popped up. A shiny silver coin miraculously appeared and bounced high in the air in an instant, drawing a graceful line in the air.
trajectory, flying towards the bartender standing behind the bar.
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "Give us two glasses of ale, it's better!"
The NPC bartender with unshaven beard and disheveled hair reached out and grabbed it skillfully, and a smile appeared on his originally gloomy face: "One silver coin of good ale can only buy one cup, and two cheap coppers are enough!"
Snap!
Four yellow gold coins were photographed by Zhao Xi: "I'm treating you today, and I'll give everyone here a drink!"
The smile on the bartender's face became more flattering: "Okay, Lord Knight!"
He took away all the gold coins with lightning speed, and at the same time shouted loudly: "This Lord Knight invites everyone to have a drink, the best ale!"
The roaring roar echoed in the small tavern, and there was suddenly silence.
Zhao Xi didn't look back, stretched out his finger and tapped on the bar: "Serve the wine, and my companion wants it too!"
"Okay!"
The bartender smiled and unscrewed the cork of the wine barrel with great skill, and quickly served Zhao Xi three glasses of fine ale with white and delicate foam.
After being surprised, the drinkers present began to discuss quietly.
"Is this the knight from the city?"
"Are they here to save us?"
"Bullshit! Why would the master in the city care about our life and death? Stop wishful thinking!"
"Two paladins. And a mage. My God, what day is it today!"
"What a beautiful paladin, if only...hehe!"
The tavern girl smiled charmingly, casting ambiguous glances at Zhao Xi frequently while serving cups of ale to the drinkers present, making the atmosphere in the tavern lively again.
Ye Qianqian, who was sitting next to Zhao Xi, asked in a low voice: "Does this task need to be so troublesome? Why not recruit directly with money? They will definitely not refuse!"
Zhao Xi ignored her, picked up the wooden wine glass and turned around: "Dear friends, let's have a drink!"
His voice was clearly heard in every corner of the tavern. The drinkers also picked up their glasses: "Cheers!"
Among the sounds of "cheers", there were also sounds such as "Thank you, Sir Knight".
In the tavern, no one would give face to the high-roller who treated everyone to a drink, and the guest was a knight who was very high to them, so some people were unavoidably frightened and trembling.
Bang!
Zhao Xi drank all the ale in one breath. Then he placed the empty wine glass heavily on the bar.
He stood up and said in a deep voice: "Let me introduce myself. I am Zhao Daniu, a paladin from the main plane. At the request of the temple to support Preston, Lord Anlan authorized me to recruit 10 warriors to eliminate those who harmed Chenxi.
Shadow wolves. Who among you is willing to join my team?"
All the discussions in the tavern suddenly disappeared without a trace. Everyone looked at each other, and no one stood up to respond to Zhao Xi's recruitment.
Zhao Xi sneered: "No one? Are you all scared out of your wits by the shadow wolf? Have you turned into a coward who only knows how to drink and can't fight bravely?"
Zhao Xi's gaze swept across the faces of the soldiers and hunters, and no one dared to look directly into his eyes.
"It's not that we don't dare, but the wolves are too powerful, and there are even more powerful vampires!"
A hunter finally stood up and said loudly: "You are only level 17. Your companions may be stronger, but so what? We can't defeat the shadow wolves controlled by vampires!"
The level 18 hunter had a look of fear on his face: "You have no idea how terrifying they are. They are very fast and powerful, and they can also cast terrifying shadow blades!"
"The last time we went out, five people were killed in five minutes. How can we fight such a battle?"
Zhao Xi said coldly: "That's because you don't have a leader who can lead you to victory!"
"So here I am!"
The hunter shook his head: "Although you are a paladin, but to deal with the shadow wolves... your level is too low!"
Zhao Xi sneered: "Level does not represent strength. I can beat ten of you!"
Zhao Xi's undisguised contempt immediately angered many people present, and a strong warrior immediately jumped up: "What did you say? Don't think that because you are a paladin from the city, I am afraid of you!"
This level 19 warrior looks much stronger than Zhao Xi, and his level is also the highest among the drinkers.
Zhao Xi snorted coldly. He immediately took off all his equipment and put it back into his backpack. After turning into a naked state, he took two steps forward, and then raised his fingers at the other party.
"Don't say I'm bullying you. I don't wear equipment or skills. Let's have a try!"
"Look who the incompetent bastard is!"
Speaking with fists is the simplest form of violence, and it is also the most direct and effective means of conquest!
"I'm afraid you won't make it!"
The soldier suddenly became angry. He also took off his equipment, pushed aside the drunkard who was blocking the way, and stood in front of Zhao Xi.
"Let's talk about it first, what will happen if you lose? I, Groot, don't fight for nothing!"
The drinkers were obviously used to fighting in the tavern. They stepped aside one after another, and even took the initiative to help move the wine tables and wooden stools, leaving enough space for Zhao Xi and the warrior Groot.
Zhao Xi clenched his fists and cracked his knuckles, and said in a deep voice: "It's very simple! If I lose, I will pay you 100 gold coins. If you lose, then join my team and obey my orders!"
"
"good!"
Groot immediately agreed. He took a deep breath, and the muscles on his body suddenly bulged. A pair of bear eyes flashed with excitement: "Then let's get started!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped forward, opened his thick arms and rushed towards Zhao Xi!
Although they knew that Zhao Xi would be confident if he dared to challenge, but seeing the power of Groot's attack, Ye Qianqian and Ouyang Mu, who were sitting next to the bar, couldn't help but worry about Zhao Xi.
Facing Groot's aggressive attack, Zhao Xi stood still. The moment his opponent was about to touch him, he suddenly stepped to the left and grabbed Groot with both hands.
Special right arm.
The next moment, Zhao Xi suddenly turned to the right and threw Groot like a discus!
Groot felt his eyes blur, his right arm suddenly tightened, and then he flew up like a cloud, flying a full four or five meters away, and hit the wall next to the door hard.
boom!
With a muffled sound, the whole house trembled.
Groot bounced and fell to the ground. His physique was very strong, and he quickly struggled to stand up, shook his head and roared at Zhao Xi: "I want to kill..."
Before the word "you" came out of his mouth, Zhao Xi strode forward, swung his iron fist and hit him hard in the right eye socket!
Bang!
Groot screamed and his head tilted back involuntarily. Before he could counterattack, Zhao Xi received a heavy punch in his lower abdomen, and his whole body suddenly arched forward like a cooked prawn.
However, Zhao Xi's third blow came, and he suddenly raised his knee and hit his opponent's chin!
Groot just opened his mouth, and before he could say a word, his jaw was hit hard. His eyes bulged, and his entire face became distorted in great pain.
"oh!"
The onlookers couldn't help but exclaimed, they were all feeling pain for Groot, and some timid people didn't even dare to look at Groot's miserable appearance after being beaten to a bruised face.
Bang!
Zhao Xi raised his leg and kicked Groot, who had lost the ability to resist, and knocked him to the ground.
The duel between the two sides only lasted less than 10 seconds. Groot, who had the body of a savage bear, fell on the dirty floor, with red blood spilling from his mouth and nose, and he could not get up.
Zhao Xi ignored him and swept his sharp eyes over the surrounding drinkers, suddenly freezing!
"You, you, and you!"
He stretched out his finger and pointed at three hunters: "You three come together!"
