After bidding farewell to the knights of the Dawn Blade Knights, Lin Yun and the others came to Holgus' side and got a set of full body armor.
Although Arles is said to be a follower of Sarenrae, the weapon he is good at is not a scimitar, but a bludgeoning weapon, and he is good at shield strikes.
Maybe it's because it can be more effective when hitting skeletons.
Although Arles has turned into a skeleton now.
Blunt weapons are relatively simple. I just use the 2 mithril heavy hammer called Voice of the Void that I forgot where I got in the corner. There is also a side found in the warehouse that almost no one uses.
shield.
Because this is the kind of shield that limits evil, it basically cannot be used.
It is a level 2 slam-enchanted mithril shield called Hatred. When using Shield Bash, it will deal an additional 2D6 piercing damage to the opponent, but it will cause D6 piercing damage to yourself.
It's a rather peculiar shield, just right for Arles.
Because the piercing damage is suitable for skeletons like Arles, who have an innate damage reduction effect of 5.
After getting ready, it was almost afternoon. Speaking of which, Lin Yun and the others hadn't eaten yet.
But there is still something to be done.
So, the city lord is troublesome.
At this time, only Nero was following Lin Yun. The rest of the people went back to the fortress to prepare for departure tomorrow. After all, we couldn't leave so close to evening.
As for why it was just Lin Yun and the two of them, it was mainly because there were too many people, and it was a bit inappropriate to go to a public place like a pub.
Yes, a tavern, a tavern that Lin Yun had almost never been to.
Of course, one aspect is that the space is too small. With so many people, it feels a bit ostentatious.
When you open the double doors of the tavern, you can hear bursts of slightly melodious music inside, accompanied by bursts of shouts.
Although it was only the afternoon, there were already people drinking here.
A boy wearing a gray apron who looked more like a blacksmith was sitting on the bar looking around. When he saw the door being opened, he raised his hand and said hello to Lin Yun.
"The Knight Commander came to my tavern. What an honor it is."
"Hello." Lin Yun responded subconsciously.
"My name is Fei Chito, and I am the owner of 'Half Portion'. How should I call you? I ask because some people don't like it, while others scorn those cumbersome titles and etiquette.
"With a slightly cheerful smile, this young man who looked to be no more than 18 years old said.
"Just call me by my name." Lin Yun said casually, and then subconsciously looked around to see if there was the dwarf that Irabes mentioned before.
"Okay, no problem, Mr. Dante, what do you need? Speaking of which, even though I have been driving for half a year, I haven't seen you coming over very often. I was wondering if you are dissatisfied with me.
." Fei said with some familiarity.
"Have you become the owner of this tavern at such a young age?" Lin Yun turned his head and looked at Fei with some curiosity.
Speaking of which, according to his understanding, the decision-making power of this tavern does not seem to go directly through Lin Yun.
Although it is true that Lin Yun has no intention of handling those government affairs one by one and leaves most of them to Comilia, he is still a little curious.
"Ah, yes, long before the devil besieged Juanze City, the owner of the 'Banfen' tavern was a distant relative of mine. As for how his whole family died, I won't go into details. As long as the 'devil worshipers' and
The two words 'sacrifice' should be enough." Fei waved his hand and said.
"Now that the city is liberated, the authorities and the Church of Iomedae return what is left to the rightful heirs of the deceased. The people of Montevi take these matters very seriously."
"That's it." Lin Yun nodded slightly.
It seems that Comelia did tell him that the Iomedae Church wanted to return a part of the place that should have belonged to "them" to them.
Lin Yun thought at that time that it should be some church land, so he agreed.
I didn't expect this level to exist.
Fei suddenly slapped his forehead, "Now that I'm talking about this tavern, I remembered it. I want to thank you for defeating the devil in this tavern with your own hands when you liberated this city. If
If you hadn't come, who knows how many cups he would have broken before the Crusaders found him. So, please accept my heartfelt gratitude." As he said this, he took it out from the cabinet on the side.
A small bag came out.
Then he offered it with both hands.
"What is this?" Lin Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, then opened it and saw a pile of gold coins.
"This is to thank Mr. Dante for your sacrifice." Fei said with a smile.
"About 1,500 gold coins." Nero on the side came over and whispered.
The amount is not that small.
If you just break the cup, how many cups would it take to be worth 1,500 gold coins?
It's obvious that he has ulterior motives.
Is this considered paying protection money? This guy is quite clever. If he accepts this money, if something goes wrong with the tavern in the future, Lin Yun will not be able to ignore it.
And the most troublesome thing is that it would be bad if you don’t accept the other party’s argument.
It's not good either openly or secretly.
Lin Yun took it casually and asked about it, "Why is it called half a portion here?"
"Oh, this is a family story. This story is not for the faint of heart, but you are not such a person, are you? At that time, the guardian stone had not been erected, and a family of farmers got lost on the way to the market and ran away to the world.
Near the border, I met a bored demon by chance. The demon immediately killed the father, and then asked the mother if she wanted him to take away all her children, or only half. The sobbing woman
She looked at her three precious children and said, 'Half.' The demon quickly chopped off the arms and legs of the three children, said, 'This should be considered half,' and then disappeared."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Where does this hell joke and black humor come from?
Lin Yun's brows were beating crazily.
At this time, Fei still said with a look of emotion, "After this family went to the local Iomedae Temple as a refuge, everyone in Huan Ze City heard about this story. Over the years, they
They had been saving money to buy a scroll of regeneration so that their children could become healthy people again. In the end, they finally scraped together enough money for a scroll and decided to give their youngest child a second chance at life. Very soon
Soon, the child became the first owner of the tavern. In order to commemorate his family and the terrible demon incident, he named the tavern 'Half Portion'. In the following period, he lived a good life.
. He got married and planned to help his brothers and sisters, but he had no chance to make this wish come true."
Speaking of this, Fei's expression became serious.
Lin Yun even felt that this guy might have the talent to become a bard, and being a bar owner here was really delaying him.
"When the demons surrounded Juanze City, those poor cripples tried to escape, but were killed on the spot. The brother and his wife also died later, in the hands of deserters. Someone said before that the massacre
A family of demons also came to Huanze City and regarded the 'Half' pub as his lair. If this is the case, when you liberated this city, the demon got the punishment he deserved. This is it
The origin of the tavern." Fei shrugged thoughtfully.
"Is that the one who chews bones? Well, that's true." Lin Yun narrowed his eyes. "By the way, why are you sitting on the bar like this? I see that other bar owners are quite busy."
"For two reasons." Fei stretched out two fingers and said seriously. "Huanze City is not the largest city in the world, but there are not many pubs and bars. Although I am the only one here for the time being,
But in order to compete with other pubs, I must let everyone remember my pub and me as a person. This is the first reason. The pub owner sitting at the counter is definitely more eye-catching than the boss standing behind the counter.
Believe me, you are not the first person to ask this. Before long, every customer will ask me this question." He said with a proud smile.
"The second reason is the atmosphere here, people should feel relaxed here. Life around the Wound of the World is hard enough, people don't come to the pub to cause more trouble for others. So I will allow a certain level of
Free and easy, myself included. I even thought about hosting an exciting pub fight on the fifth day of every month. I would allow my favorite patrons to smash glasses and use chandeliers as swings."
"I just hope you won't regret it when the time comes." Lin Yun smiled and shook his head slightly.
"What, Boss Dante, do you want to join too?" Fei said with a surprised look on his face.
"It's hard to say. If there is a bonus, I will come." Lin Yun said with a smile.
"Hahaha, then it should be fine." Fei said with a smile.
It's rare to meet a guy who is so easy to talk to, plus this is a pub.
The tavern itself is a place where a lot of information circulates.
Lin Yun also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to understand the thoughts of the people at the bottom. It could be regarded as an incognito tour that was not very good.
"For now, how do you feel about this city?"
"I can only tell you about the situation of my customers. Most of them are laborers who are responsible for rebuilding the destroyed buildings, as well as soldiers and some businessmen. Generally speaking, everyone's mood is very high. In
In the country of Montevi, where swords are at war and flags are waving, their emotions are as high as possible. Everyone likes to chop off the devil's horns, tail, or other parts. They have forgotten that we almost lost Kan
Nabuli, war is like this, people can only live in the present, regardless of the past or the future." Fei shrugged his shoulders and said.
