Chapter 141: The Prestige of the Pompeii Family (2)
John, who has always been down and out, actually took out a gold coin to buy "Dark Blue Wine", which was surprising.
Not only was this a regular customer, but other people who were familiar with John also showed surprise.
The women who were carrying plates and serving as wine waiters and meat traders all looked at John with bold and fiery eyes.
This is the charm of gold coins.
John suddenly became the focus of the entire pub.
John picked up the red wine and shook it gently, then smelled it and finally took a sip. After finishing the drink, his handsome face showed an intoxicating look. He had not drunk such high-end wine in many years.
.
After a while, John answered the regular customer's question radiantly and said, "A big man supported me with a large sum of gold coins and asked me to settle down and write my poetry. You must know that there is no stability in poetry, an elegant literature."
The environment cannot be written."
John's face exuded the aura of a poet, and he grew taller in an instant.
But the guests who knew what the bard was curled their lips and thought in their hearts.
"Old John got lucky and tied up a noble lady somewhere, so he can be so wealthy. As for supporting a large amount of funds, it is just a maintenance fee."
I have to admit that there is a trace of jealousy in the hearts of the drinkers. Some people rely on their bodies to survive, while others rely on their faces.
And people who rely on their faces to live a more prosperous life.
John looked at the envious, jealous and hateful looks cast around him, and felt a little restless in his heart. He had not enjoyed this kind of treatment for many years.
It's so refreshing.
John took a deep breath and suppressed the thoughts that were about to drift away. Because he finally remembered something serious, John pretended to be very calm and said, "Let's not talk about it for now. Something happened in Orange recently."
It’s not a big or small thing, do you know?”
"What's going on?" John successfully attracted the attention of the guests in the tavern. At this moment, one guest couldn't help but ask.
Only the boss was quietly behind the bar, wiping the wine glass with a cloth. Although the wine glass was already very clean, he still wiped it.
The boss knew that John's job was as a bard, and the literal meaning of bard was very clear.
travelling poet.
Traveling around the world with one mouth, living on one mouth, either in poverty, or in prosperity, poets are just part-time workers. As for being kept, it has only become popular in recent decades.
In the early years, bards relied on their mouths to eat.
The boss saw John's actions after entering the tavern and knew what John was going to do. But he didn't care. Anyway, as long as there are customers in the tavern, it will become a news distribution center.
A good place to publicize things and gather information.
John is not the first, nor will he be the last.
"The famous Qiufeng Thieves Group was destroyed. You must know that this thieves group is a huge and famous group of thieves. The leader is a senior knight named Omima. I heard that he is only one step away from the great knight, and his subordinates have more
There are more than fifty intermediate knights, more than a hundred junior knights, and two wizards."
John said vividly in an exaggerated tone.
The boss' hand wiping the cup paused for a moment. As an informant, he knew about this band of thieves, and he was sure that John himself had improved the strength of the Qiufeng bandits.
As far as he knew, although the Autumn Wind Bandits were also a large bandit group in Orange, their strength should be in the middle and lower reaches.
It's not as exaggerated as John said.
But the boss is the only one who knows it so clearly. Most people don't know who the Qiufeng Thieves are. They only have a preliminary understanding from John's mouth.
This is a large and powerful group of thieves.
And such a band of thieves was actually wiped out.
"Such a powerful group of thieves was actually wiped out? Did the Count of Libya send out the army?" A guest exclaimed.
The other guests also looked shocked.
Seeing that the guests took the bait, John raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then shook his head and said, "The Pompeii family will do it."
"Family Pompeii? Never heard of it." The guests shook their heads to express their ignorance. This is normal. Before this, who would have known about a small knight family in the countryside of Barton.
It is John's job to promote the Pompeii 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 family of knights?" The guests couldn't help but asked in surprise, and suddenly realized that it turned out to be a family of knights. 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 family of knights. The Pompeii knights of all generations are powerful vassals under Baron Barton." John nodded.
"I have heard that Baron Barton is a big noble in the middle and lower reaches of the entire Orange Province. I believe that he sent troops to destroy the Autumn Wind Bandits, but he is a knight family."
"Yeah, I've only heard of big nobles sending troops to wipe out large thieves, but I've never heard of a knight family actually sending troops to wipe out the knights."
"I can't believe that a small knight family can be so powerful."
The guests were talking a lot, and they were more or less doubtful.
"What's so surprising about this? Aren't the Morgan Knight Family and the Jones Knight Family both powerful knight families?" John showed your ignorance and said in a contemptuous tone.
The guests were speechless for a while. The knight families listed by John are indeed famous knight families in Orange. Although they are not real nobles, their individual strength may be comparable to the bottom Orange family.
Noble.
Often these knight families are important ministers of the leading noble families in Orange.
"This generation of Pompeii knights was nicknamed "Thor the Golden Lion" because he fought bravely and looked like a lion, so he got this nickname. He was a high-level knight."
"The Pompeii family is a powerful family that is developing into a top knight family. It now has more than thirty knights, a wizard, and is building a city."
John said in a respectful tone.
"So that's it." The guests suddenly realized. But then some guests said doubtfully, "Even if it is what you said, John, the Pompeii family has strong strength, but it is not as powerful as the Autumn Wind Thieves. The Pompeii family is
How did you destroy the Qiufeng bandits?"
"Yes, this strength cannot be compared with the Qiufeng Thieves Group." The other guests also woke up and were extremely doubtful.
"Of course, the Pompeii family is not as powerful as the Autumn Wind Bandits, so they spent 100,000 gold coins to hire a saber-toothed tiger mercenary group, and the two parties jointly destroyed the Autumn Wind Bandits."
John was already prepared for this, and even wished that the topic would develop in this direction, so he spoke brightly.
