Chapter 158, Twelve Weapons
The tavern is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and here you can know many secrets in the city.
There are also many people who listen to some rumors and stories while drinking.
"I just met when I was passing by. I don't know who the combination of human and orc is." Fang Hao took the beer and replied.
It's no secret, and there's no such thing as secrecy.
"Humans and Orcs?" The proprietress put her arms around her chest and began to recall people who shared this characteristic, and then her eyes lit up and said, "Is there an Orc, the weapon is a mace, and the brain is not very smart. ."
I can guess this.
When the proprietress saw Fang Hao's expression, she knew that she had guessed correctly.
"Sure enough, it was them. They came here a while ago and said it was a mercenary group. They inquired about a lot of things here."
"I'm not sure, after all, I just came here, maybe we are talking about the same person." Fang Hao said.
Someone asked for wine not far away. Before leaving, the proprietress put a plate of sliced meat in front of the two of them.
"As a gift, I will come often in the future."
After speaking, he turned around to deliver wine to the other guests.
Fang Hao was drinking beer and his eyes fell on the notice board beside him.
The notice board of the Human Race Tavern is different from the Bull Tau Tavern. In addition to some single-page maps, it also writes some activities in the tavern.
For example, an evening dance show.
This is not the meaning of Fang Hao's twisted dance, but clearly written Yanwu.
I just don't know if this busty lady boss is performing.
Look back at the map.
There are two in total, [Mountain Bandit Camp] [Water Pool Monster].
[Map: Mountain Bandit Camp]
【Category: Single Page Map】
[Description: A map drawn by travelers, recording the route and terrain of the mountain bandit camp.

"What, are you going to kill the bandits?"
The proprietress walked back and saw Fang Hao looking at the map on the notice board.
"Just to see, how come there are still bandits, don't the guards in the city care?" Fang Hao asked curiously.
The guards in this city also seem to be quite reliable. Why are there still bandits nearby?
"Who knows, it was organized in the past two years. If the troops are strong, the opponent will run away. If you are weak, you will not be able to defeat you. It's not easy." The proprietress said while preparing the food.
"How many people there are."
"Hundreds of people, I also heard from the guests, you don't want to go to suppress the bandits, these are not those stupid kidnappers, don't be stupid." The proprietress reminded.
"I want these two maps, how much are they?"
"You really want to go, don't you want to live anymore?" said the proprietress in surprise.
"I don't go by myself, I know a group of mercenaries and ask them if they are interested." Fang Hao made an excuse for himself.
The proprietress saw that Fang Hao did not seem to be an impulsive person, and did not try to persuade her. She said: "One map is 5 gold, by the way, the bandit suppression was issued by the City Lord's Mansion. change money."
"That's not bad." Fang Hao took out 10 human gold coins, handed them to the proprietress, and then took off the two maps.
In the tavern, the number of customers gradually increased.
The proprietress was busy greeting the guests, and Fang Hao also planned to leave after taking the last sip of wine.
Get the blueprints and silkworms prepared by Tarvik and return to the territory.
Just wanted to get up.
On the wooden platform on the side of the tavern, there was a middle-aged man in a gray robe.
He held a glass of beer, took a big gulp, and after smashing his mouth, he said loudly: "Today's story, the bloodthirsty countess, Hilda Ford."
The appearance of the middle-aged man made the noisy pub instantly quiet.
Everyone drank silently, waiting for the next story of the middle-aged man.
The man did not make the audience wait too long, and began the opening remarks of the story.
"Hilda is the daughter of the councilor of the kingdom. She was born with countless enviable and unattainable auras. At 21 years old, Hilda is becoming more and more beautiful and smart. She helped her father solve problems and help the poor in the city. Pregnant women deliver babies, in her eyes there is no difference between nobles and commoners."
"...She loves children, and seeing the smiling faces of children, Hilda will smile too, dreaming of having such a lovely child with her fiancé."
"...She is such a kind-hearted countess, but she has an alternative hobby. She keeps all kinds of sharp weapons and 12 beautifully crafted sharp swords in her room."
Hearing this, Fang Hao frowned slightly.
12 beautifully crafted swords?
This reminded him instantly of Xiaoyou's mission to collect 12 swords of probation.
Can't be so coincidental!
The story continues.
"...Suddenly, the beautiful and kind Hilda was bewitched by the devil. She was lying on a blood-stained bed with the corpses of 12 children lying beside her, corpses killed by 12 sharp swords."
"Soon, Hilda's matter was revealed. Her cruel method of killing children was attacked by the whole city. Overnight, the beautiful and kind countess became a bloodthirsty demon."
"The villagers nailed her life to the penance stake, and 12 sharp swords pierced her body to pay for the dead child."
clap clap!
The middle-aged man clapped his hands gently, awakening the people who were immersed in the story.
"Well, this is the story of the bloodthirsty countess."
Whoa!
After the story ended, the pub became noisy again, and people sighed for a while about this story.
Of course, the story, and no one will believe it is true.
"Isn't her father a congressman, and civilians dare to kill the congressman's daughter?"
"You, listening to a story so seriously, are all fake, just random characters. You have seen that countess deliver a child to a commoner."
"Too."
The middle-aged man who told the story clapped his palms again and said loudly: "Today is not a story. As for Hilda's father, it will be mentioned in another later story. Some people say that Hilda was involved in targeting his father. In the conspiracy, because Hilda killed the child, his father also lost his status as a councillor and finally died on the way out of the city."
The guests still questioned loudly, referring to the loopholes in the story.
to prove that this is just a story.
"Okay, I have proof." The middle-aged man clapped his hands lightly, and an attendant came up with a gorgeous dagger.
The middle-aged man gently held it in his hand, as if he was holding a priceless treasure.
Said: "This is one of the 12 weapons that Hilda collected, and this weapon finally killed her master. Well, if someone is willing to buy it back and collect it, for 1,000 gold coins, you can get this countess. Weapons once owned."
puff! !
At the end of the speech, countless people spit out the beer in their mouths, leaving the beer foam on the faces of the companions at the table.
I thought you were a show in a tavern, but it turned out to be a seller.
"Do you think we are stupid? Make up a story, that broken short sword will be sold for 1,000 gold coins, and only fools will be fooled."
The voice just fell.
An open-ended offer sounded, "I want it."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the pair of men and women who were quoting behind them.
