"Go to the tavern to have some fun. I'll come find you after finishing the work." At the entrance of the town, Downton finished instructing his cronies, then took out a bag of gold coins and threw them to Arnold, "Take the flowers and don't cause trouble."
"How can I ask you to spend money?" The cronies felt that Downton was too generous. If it were anyone else, he would have let them treat him.
"Stop talking nonsense." Downton waved his hand and went straight to the Wolf and Spice grocery store.
Fortunately, Charlotte was lying on a deck chair taking a nap, and there was a botanical illustration in her arms, so that Downton's trip was not in vain.
"Young man, you're here." Xia Luo greeted her and narrowed her eyes again, "Sit down wherever you want."
For some reason, Downton's heartbeat would speed up when he saw Charlotte. Although her appearance was still hidden in the cloak, with only her fair chin exposed, he just felt that the female shopkeeper was very beautiful.
Xia Luo was seriously injured last time she went out and was recuperating. Apart from coughing from time to time, she didn't speak anymore.
Downton didn't mind either, so he took out Potion and started studying hard. This kind of quiet time made him very comfortable, and he wished it could continue forever.
"Five things to note when the flame reaction causes the oxidative failure of the medicine!" Downton had just finished taking notes when a red apple burst into view, and he quickly reached out to catch it.
"I'm sorry, we've been too tired recently." Charlotte stretched out after waking up, apologized to Downton, then picked up an apple and took a bite.
The sweet juice burst into her mouth, filling her teeth with fragrant aroma, and Xia Luo moaned in comfort.
"I'm the one interrupting." Downton was embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter. In three days, we will prepare the medicine promised to you." Xia Luo smiled, like sunshine pouring down, "You will come and get it when the time comes."
"That's not important. You should take good care of yourself first." Downton refused. He knew that preparing potions was hard work.
"It's okay." Xia Luo shook her head, "Would you like to have dinner together?"
"No, I still have friends waiting for me." Downton quickly stood up. He actually wanted to agree, but as he spoke, he refused again.
Walking out of the grocery store. After a long silence, the magic book projected text, "Idiot, if you like it, go for it!"
"Ah?" Tang Zheng wondered why Homer scolded him.
"Nothing!" Homer understands the importance of a balance between work and rest, otherwise Downton would have been forced to practice.
Downton walked towards the Golden Ivory Tavern. A boy saw him and immediately ran to Grandet's grocery store to report the news.
The heat and noise in the tavern were mixed together, causing headaches. Downton actually didn't like this environment. He walked straight to the two tables occupied by his cronies and asked them to leave.
"Overseer."
"grown ups!"
Seeing Downton's arrival, the confidants quickly stopped their dissolute behavior, closed their mouths one by one, stood up, and said hello respectfully.
Several tables of mercenaries were sitting nearby. Seeing this scene, they looked at Downton in surprise.
"Hey, isn't he just a civilian boy? Why are these people saluting him?"
"So majestic!"
Some people who knew Downton almost had their jaws dropped, and then whispers began to spread. After all, Downton had beaten people and had perfect weapons, so more and more eyes fell on him.
"It seems that before you have status, you can't appear in Morning Mist Town." Downton asked Arnold to pay the bill and led everyone to leave. However, as soon as he walked out of the tavern, he was blocked by more than a dozen people.
"Downton, you injured my son, how will the debt be settled?" Grandet stared at Downton and directly stated his purpose.
"He was injured in a fair duel, it's none of my business!" Downton frowned. He looked at the lineup behind Grandet. Fortunately, they were just a group of mercenaries.
Come to think of it, with Grandet's stinginess, how could he be willing to hire a master?
"Do you have any witnesses?" Grandet had obviously already investigated clearly and had already thought of a way to slander Downton. "You injured my son. If you don't want to go to jail, I will pay you 100,000 gold coins."
"Huh?" Downton sneered, "Is your son made of gold? With one hundred thousand gold coins, I can buy a dozen orc slaves."
"I don't want anything more. Look, here is the list." Grandet took out a piece of parchment from his arms and threw it to Downton. If this kid hadn't been in the mine, he would have come to visit him long ago.
Of course, Downton didn't know that Grandet had already gone to his house and after breaking the door lock, although there weren't many valuable things inside, he still moved everything out.
"Old guy, get out of here, we adults are going to beat you, no matter who you are?" The cronies scolded Grandet, you dare to beat up Doshaf's direct descendants, what kind of thing is this bad old man?
"Medical expenses, lost work expenses, yes, and the expenses for insulting me..." Grandet reported the expenses casually, but soon he couldn't go on, "Hey, what are you doing? Don't tear it up."
Downton tore the parchment into shreds, sprinkled it on Grandet, and walked away from him.
"Stop him." Grandet roared, "You will never leave Morning Mist Town today without paying."
A mercenary took a step forward, stretched out his hand and pushed on Downton's chest, and said in a bad tone, "Boy, stop, don't you see that my employer is talking to you again?"
"Looking for death!" The cronies would not let go of this opportunity to show their loyalty. They were furious and pulled out the machetes they carried with them to teach these mercenaries a lesson.
Jackson's movement was the most agile. He took out the crossbow again and prepared to shoot them.
"Huh?" The mercenaries were startled and immediately stood in line with weapons in hand. Then the leader's eyes drifted to Grandet, asking for an answer, "Didn't you say he was an ordinary civilian?"
"Yes, he is just an ordinary civilian." Grandet nodded. He is a miser. Even if he is the richest man in Morning Mist Town, if he hires the security team to deal with Downton, he will have to pay a large sum of money to satisfy those demands.
He is not willing to part with the appetites of these guys who are as greedy as maned dogs.
In his opinion, Downton is just a piece of trash that can be dealt with by just finding some mercenaries.
"Hmph!" The mercenary leader snorted coldly and activated the three soul shields on his body. This was not only to express his dissatisfaction with Grandet, but also to frighten the miners' cronies.
The mercenaries followed suit and all released their soul shields. They thought the other party would be afraid, but unexpectedly they made them roar.
"You don't want to live anymore? Our Lord is the direct descendant of Viscount Dauphink, the owner of the Dagger Mine. If you hurt him, you will be wanted."
The cronies were just ordinary miners, but they were a little shrunken, but Arnold didn't care. He picked up a heavy battle ax in one hand and prepared to fight.
"What the hell, he was a postman in the Western Region just a few days ago. What qualifications do he have to be a direct descendant of the principal?" Grandet could not have guessed that Downton would die. In the past few days, the situation has changed dramatically.
Variety.
"Let go of your hand!" Downton stared at the leader.
"If you hurt someone, you have to pay." The leader said bravely, but his tone had softened a lot. He had no choice but to collect the money. If he didn't do it, his reputation and credibility would plummet.
I can no longer survive in the military world.
"Don't make me say it a second time, take your hand away!" Downton was annoyed. Do you think you are a hero for one hundred thousand gold coins? Even if you have one, you won't give it out.
A mercenary wanted to persuade the leader to stop, but was stopped by his companion. Then under his guidance, he saw some mercenaries coming out of the tavern to watch the fun.
There is no way to compromise now.
"Boy, you probably haven't heard of my nickname. To save your face, I'll make peace and let's lower the compensation. Wouldn't it be nice to make peace and make money?" The leader's tone was threatening. In his opinion, this
The boy is young and his strength is estimated to be average. A dozen magic users on our side are enough to defeat him.
Hearing this, the surrounding mercenaries laughed. They had seen Downton's fighting prowess, and with the addition of the barbarian and the ghoul servant, this team of mercenaries might not be able to defeat them.
"Why are you laughing?" The leader's team is escorting a business group passing through the town. Debt collection is a private job. They are not locals, so they have not heard of Downton's power.
"They laugh at you for not overestimating your abilities."
"What?" The group leader looked at Downton in shock, thinking he had heard wrong, and then his face was filled with anger, "What did you say?"
If you lose face, you will definitely not be able to hold your head up in the future, so the leader punched Downton in the cheek to teach him a lesson.
Bang, Downton grabbed the mercenary's fist with his left hand, and punched out the giant iron fist with his right hand.
The strong wind blew against his face, making the captain unable to open his eyes. He knew that he had overstretched himself, and immediately stamped his right foot to the ground, intending to launch a thunderous strike.
His subordinates reacted much faster than the miners and immediately surrounded them, but they were still half a beat too late.
Downton was faster, exhaling and raising his voice, roaring out a giant roar. The harsh sound swept the surroundings instantly, making the mercenaries dizzy.
The barbarian fought his way into the crowd, and every time he punched a mercenary, he would be knocked away.
Jackson is also picking up bargains.
Downton kicked the captain's knee with his right foot, causing him to lose his balance. He pulled out the magic dagger shower with his left hand and pierced the soul shield with one knife.
The leader endured the severe pain and tried to fight back, but in the next second, a dagger appeared on his neck, and the sharp tip touched his skin, making his skin crawl.
"Perfect dagger?" The leader swallowed hard and did not dare to move.
"It turns out that in addition to the battle axe, this kid also has a top-notch dagger that can kill hundreds of people." The one-eyed man stood on the second floor of the tavern. When he saw this scene, his eyes flashed with greed. He was Downton's first encounter with him.
After the duel between Little Grandet, the guy who wanted to forcefully buy the tearing dragon's teeth.
He took over a mission a while ago and left Chenmist Town. He just came back a day ago and unexpectedly met Downton. He felt that he was so lucky.
After getting dressed in a hurry, the one-eyed man stood in the corridor and shouted, "Brothers, get up quickly, there is work to do."
"When looking for an employer in the future, remember to keep your eyes open." Downton punched the leader in the mouth, knocking out several teeth.
The leader's mouth was full of blood, but he did not dare to resist.
"I'll leave you a mark to let you know that there are some people you cannot mess with." After Downton finished speaking, he slashed the leader's neck with a hand knife and put him down.
When the other mercenaries saw their leader being caught, they lost their fighting spirit. What's more, they were faced with Arnold, who was much more powerful. They were completely crushed. (To be continued...)
