Chapter 948 The Village

There is a hotel in Hewang Village, which is a two-story wooden building. Tang Zhen and others moved in directly after entering the village.

In fact, the area of ​​this village far exceeded Tang Zhen's expectation. It was not just a few wooden houses, but had more than 200 households.

The villagers here are composed of different races, including orcs, who are strong and burly.

Although orcs have various strange appearances, no one will discriminate against them. After all, from the perspective of the natives here, this world does not belong to any race.

In this village close to the mountains, they are engaged in planting, gathering, hunting and logging, etc., and their lives are barely adequate.

It's just that the world today is not peaceful. Various forces are competing on this land. Wars and battles have never stopped, and the people are the most direct victims.

This was also the reason why they were wary of outsiders. After all, the village had been attacked by bandits more than once before and suffered considerable losses.

The arrival of Tang Zhen and others immediately attracted many villagers to watch. Perhaps they realized that Tang Zhen and others were no ordinary travelers, so the villagers kept a respectful distance from them.

In fact, if there is evidence that Tang Zhen and others have evil intentions, it is estimated that these seemingly honest and honest villagers will not hesitate to pick up various weapons and attack Tang Zhen and others in the next moment!

The villagers will never show mercy to enemies who try to destroy their homes and rob their property.

On the stone wall used for defense outside the village, more than one robber had been hanged, and the bodies were dried and thrown into the woods.

Relying on this method, it also scared off many guys who tried to steal and rob, allowing the village to maintain peace for a long time.

If Tang Zhen and others dare to cause trouble, the villagers will do the same!

However, the experienced men in the village knew very well that the villagers might not be a match for Tang Zhen and others, because they accidentally saw the equipment under the cloak of a lord monk.

That kind of exquisitely crafted black armor must have a high price, and how can the person who can wear this kind of armor be an ordinary person?

Even the most powerful guards in the village were filled with fear after seeing Tang Zhen and others. When these ordinary villagers fought, they would probably be split in half by the opponent's sword!

Fortunately, after Tang Zhen and others entered Hewang Village, they always behaved very low-key, which also made the villagers relax their vigilance a little, but they did not take it lightly, but continued to observe secretly.

Only those children appeared around Tang Zhen and others from time to time, making "chirping" comments, full of curiosity about these outsiders.

At this time, Tang Zhen and others were sitting in the lobby of the hotel, ordering some local specialty food and several large barrels of bland wine.

They gathered around the long log table, and the swords in their hands were put aside so that they could quickly grab them in the event of a battle.

Some customers in the hotel are quite envious of the weapons of the lords of Holy Dragon City. It is said that after seeing these weapons, the blacksmith in the village once patted his chest and assured that these weapons are definitely worth thousands of gold!

As for the exquisite armors they wear, they are even more valuable. Even the blacksmith can't guess the specific price!

It was precisely because of this sentence that Tang Zhen and others were no longer regarded as bandits by the villagers, but as wealthy nobles with great connections. Their originally wary eyes turned into envy and jealousy.

And Tang Zhen's performance also confirmed the villagers' guess!

As a large piece of gold was thrown out, the innkeeper with a happy face immediately got busy, and basins of food were brought to the table and filled with dishes.

Although the cooking method of the food is very rough, the portion is so generous that even a man with a big belly can make him roll his eyes after eating it.

Tang Zhen raised the wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and then put the glass aside.

He really couldn't get used to drinking this kind of crude wine. Even with the addition of honey, it still had a faint sour taste.

The lords of Holy Dragon City next to them didn't have so many scruples, and they all drank happily.

Tang Zhen has not arranged any tasks for the past two days. The lords were bored and could only drink to relieve their boredom, but they never got drunk.

Tang Zhen was very confident about his men. After all, they were all hard-blooded officers leading troops in battles, so how could he not know what they were doing?

It is estimated that their performance at this time is also to paralyze the villagers here, so that they will no longer pay attention to them.

Glancing at the table next to him, Tang Zhen looked at a man wearing leather armor.

This guy had been sizing them up. Like the villagers, his eyes were filled with curiosity and vigilance, but there was also a trace of subtle greed and viciousness.

"Come here, friend, I'll buy you a drink!"

Tang Zhen patted the wine barrel on the table and shouted to the man in leather armor.

The man was obviously short of money, otherwise he wouldn't sit at the table and watch others drink and eat meat.

After hearing Tang Zhen's invitation, he hesitated for a moment and then walked over.

A faint smell of sweat emanated from his body, which made Tang Zhen frown slightly, but it seemed that the locals didn't like bathing because there were piranhas in the river, nearly one meter in size, and they often attacked bathing fish.

of villagers.

"Thank you, generous outsider, you know I haven't had a glass of mellow wine for a long time!"

The leather-armored man took the wooden wine glass handed over by Tang Zhen, drank it cleanly, licked the corners of his mouth, and said to Tang Zhen.

"You're welcome, if you like it, this bucket is yours!"

Tang Zhen pushed the wine barrel in front of him and said with a smile.

"You are really a generous person. With all due respect, I guess you are not used to drinking such low-quality drinks?"

The leather-armored man poured himself another full cup and asked Tang Zhen probingly.

The tavern owner on the side heard this and immediately roared: "Asshole Donnie, you actually said that my drink is inferior. Believe it or not, from today on, you will never drink a drop again?"

When the leather-armored man named Donnie heard this, he immediately shrank his neck slightly and looked at the hotel owner with a flattering look on his face.

When the hotel owner saw this, he snorted coldly and turned around and ignored him.

Tang Zhen smiled when he saw this and said to Donnie: "In my hometown, there are many kinds of fine wines with different tastes, but I prefer the taste of the wine from my hometown!"

"I heard that you are coming from far away. Where are you from? What are you doing here?"

Tang Ni drank heavily, but he kept trying to find out the origins of Tang Zhen and others, and he didn't know what his purpose was.

"My hometown is far away. We came across the sea by boat. As for the purpose of coming here, of course it is to make money!"

Hearing what Tang Zhen said, Tang Ni's eyes lit up slightly and he asked: "So if you have any goods to sell, I can help you contact the seller, as long as you give me half a commission!"

When he said this, the greed in Tang Ni's eyes could hardly be concealed, and was clearly captured by Tang Zhen opposite him.

Obviously this guy is not honest, and he is probably thinking of some crooked idea.

"I'm not familiar with this place, so I won't sell the goods for the time being. I have to at least inquire about it!"

After hearing Tang Zhen's answer, a trace of disappointment and unwillingness flashed in Tang Ni's eyes. After rolling his eyes, he continued: "Whatever you want to know, just ask me. There is almost no one like me, Tang, near Xueman City."

Things you don’t know!”

"It turns out that this place is under the jurisdiction of Xueman City. What a surprise!"

Tang Zhen smiled when he heard this, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
