Magus Tech Chapter 90: Oak Tavern

Many days later.

It was snowing heavily.

Goose-feather-like snowflakes are falling continuously, covering every corner of the field of vision, the sky and the earth are completely white, and the whole world is quiet.

Occasionally, a strong wind would appear, rolling a large cloud of snow and attacking the pedestrians on the road, causing shouts and scolding, followed by the sound of teeth chattering.

There is a small town more than a dozen miles south of the capital of the Emerald Kingdom called Oak Town. There is an inn in the small town called the Oak Inn, which is exclusively for those who go to or leave the capital to rest and stay. In this kind of weather, the business is very prosperous.

As night fell, the snow fell harder, the wind became tighter, and the whole world seemed to be fighting a cold war. And in the oak inn separated by a wall, the flames in the fireplace were burning fiercely, and the heat wave was billowing, warming everyone in the inn.

The first floor of the hotel is a tavern, with dozens of tables lined up, and more than half of the people are already seated. There are blacksmiths in the town, residents who come in to warm up, businessmen passing by, and mercenary squads that are not easy to mess with at first glance.

A five-member mercenary squad is sitting at a table near the fireplace, three men and one woman:

With his back to the fireplace was Mulla, the captain of the mercenary squad, wearing chain mail with a vicissitudes on his face. He was only fifty years old, but because of too much work and malnutrition, his hair was half white, and he looked more like an old man in his sixties. Among the mercenary squads, the invisible ones are the strongest, but they are experienced and calm in situations, and they are the core of the entire team. At this time, he slowly tore the bread, soaked it in the broth until soft, and then put it in his mouth, chewing and eating it expressionlessly, like taking medicine.

On the left of Mulla is a strong, bear-like man named Zach. Muscles protruded from under the iron armor like an explosion, and his face was flushed red by the reflection of the fireplace. At this time, he was holding a fat chicken and chewing. After chewing and swallowing, he picked up the malt wine on the table and drank it down.

The person on the right of Mulla looks much inferior to Zach. He is half a head shorter and his body is a little thin. His name is Cole. At this moment, he was grabbing a greasy chicken leg and gnawing on it. While gnawing, he looked furtively around, scanning the money bags of the people around him. He used to be a thief, but because of his unstable income, he finally chose to join the mercenary team. But if given the chance, he wouldn't mind doing some of the old stuff for some extra cash.

On the last side of the table, sitting opposite Mulla was a woman, a very young and beautiful woman, but at the same time a woman who didn't look like a mess, her name was Denise. She was tall and slender, wearing a bumpy armor, her blond hair was scattered like gold behind her, her lips were burning like flames, and her eyes revealed a touch of charm from time to time.

One of the tight and powerful thighs was raised and rested on the other leg, and the body was sitting on the seat with a slight tilt, looking a little lazy. He didn't eat anything, just held a glass of malt wine and looked at the people around him meaningfully.

Unlike Cole, Denise did not look at other people's purses, but looked at everyone's face and figure. Occasionally nod, tsk tsk to express appreciation, and occasionally shake the head, showing disgust unabashedly. The people around were a little annoyed by her, but seeing the mercenary's unfavorable appearance, they didn't come up to argue in the end, but just lowered their heads and pretended that they couldn't see anything, which made Denise chuckle again.

"Hehe, what a coward."

As the captain, Mu La frowned, and couldn't help reminding: "Denise, don't go too far, don't cause trouble."

"It's okay, Uncle Mulla." Denise looked at Mulla with the corner of her mouth curled up, and said, "I know how to measure, who should be provoked and who should not be provoked, absolutely not. It will cause trouble for the mercenary team, so don't worry."

Muke let out a breath and didn't respond. He shook his head and lowered his head to continue eating, as if he didn't want to say anything more.

Denise turned her head to look at Cole, and asked with a smile, "Cole, do you think I'm right?"

"Eh? Uh, yes, of course." Cole said, with a somewhat perfunctory tone in his tone, and his eyes were more on the money bags of the people around him. He cursed, "A bunch of poor ghosts."

Denise looked at the bear-like Zach again, and asked aloud, "Zach, do you think I'm right?"

"I... Gudong!" Zach swallowed the food in his mouth, looked straight at Denise and said, "Yes...Of course, what you said is correct, Dani Silk!"

"Giggle." Denise laughed. This laughter sounded like a silver bell to Zach's ears, especially when he heard the last sentence, his entire spine felt numb, and there was a feeling of electric current passing through, "Fool."

Zach's whole body was shocked, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he stared blankly at Denise without saying a word for a long time. After a long time, it seemed that great courage was born, and he shouted: "I... I am not a fool, I... I just like you."

"Giggle." Denise laughed again, and tapped Zach with her hand, looking very happy, but she didn't take it seriously, "Fool ~IndoMTL.com~ Don't be stupid. You like What's the use of me, do you still expect me to marry you?"

"I..."

"Are you rich? Do you have status? Do you have a large inheritance to inherit?" Denise still asked with a smile, but the seriousness in her eyes made Zach feel like being pricked , Muttering nothing.

"Zach, let's be real, I won't marry you." Denise said, "You can't let me marry you, wash and cook for you and have children, and then it's like Is she going to end her life as miserable as a peasant woman?"

"I..."

"I want to marry a nobleman." Denise said, as if speaking to Zach, but also as if speaking to herself, she was very firm, "I must marry a nobleman, even if it is a young Aristocrats are fine, but you must never marry a commoner. Anyway, I have had enough of a commoner's life. I can't eat enough and sleep well. It's really terrible..."

Before Denise could finish her sentence, the door of the hotel was suddenly pushed open, and the wind and snow poured in from outside the door, making everyone in the hotel hall startled, frowning and looking at the people who came in. . Denise also stopped talking and looked over, and then saw a young man coming in, dressed like a nobleman, followed by... a little maid?

Well, it should be the little maid.

Denise looked at it for a while and decided.

Because the noble boy let the little girl behind him carry the suitcase instead of himself, even though the suitcase didn't look very heavy.

But the combination of a nobleman and a little maid is too weird in Oak Town, right? Are noble boys so bold now, going out without guards? Are you not afraid of falling into the eyes of caring people and causing some unpleasant things to happen?

Denise couldn't help frowning.
