The battle outside the tavern has ended. The men of the Pitchfork Team are sitting or standing, facing off from a distance with the dragoons who have formed a defensive formation.
There was a corpse of a cavalryman and his mount on the ground. Apparently the Golden Hammer soldiers chose to defend after a brief trial, and the tenants of A51 would not be stupid enough to attack an entire squad of regular troops head-on.
Seeing Long Ji, Xibi, and Yona appear, the head of the room shouted in surprise: "You are all okay, great! Are you injured anywhere? Check it out quickly... Well? This person is...
"
"Hello, mighty warrior." Qiao Pu greeted him.
"Thank you, Lord Knight...aren't you the leader of the bad guys?!" Toba's big bald head creaked due to confusion in his thinking, and steam came out.
"I don't know why, but I suddenly don't want to fight." The dragon knight spread his hands and said.
"Uncle! There's a monster old lady inside!" Xibi jumped onto Toba's shoulder.
Elliot glanced suspiciously at the slightly mentally disturbed people coming out of the tavern, and inserted the long sword into the scabbard: "We have to confirm what happened inside. Mr. Chamberlain, don't let your guard down." There was a sound of unicorn hooves.
Moving, the Rose Knight walked through the broken door and walked into the tavern.
The remaining seven dragoons looked at each other in confusion. Qiao Pu waved his hand: "Come down, don't be so nervous. Where is my 'pearl'?"
"Marshall is guarding the entrance of the canyon, sir." A dragoon got off his mount and answered respectfully with his hand on his right chest.
"I got it. Bichir, collect the identity cards of the three people who died in the battle, and don't let the military judge gossip." The dragon knight said to the black-clothed entourage behind him.
"Yes, sir." The cavalryman limped away.
Jonah looked at the soldiers injured by Long Ji in the battle just now and the dozen wounded who were stabbed by soldiers and survived, and felt that the world view was a bit confusing. Long Ji walked over slowly and leaned next to him tiredly. Jonah
Looking at her bloodless face, I wanted to ask something, but after thinking about it, I gave up.
At this time, Elliot appeared. A confused look appeared on the face of the Rose Knight, "The lady in the tavern asked us all to go in and have a cup of moongrass tea." He conveyed.
Everyone at Pitchfork looked at Toba. The head of the room lowered his head and played with his small round hat without any idea. "Let's go, at least there is no harm." Joop interjected. He arranged for the dragoons to rest on their own and returned to the tavern first.
"Are you leaving?" Yona looked at Long Ji.
"Yeah." Long Ji replied weakly.
After an inexplicable battle, six people walked side by side with the enemy into the tavern called "Chopping Board".
As soon as he entered the door, Jonah's little soul, which had been shocked today, received another blow: the corpses, blood stains, broken tables and stools, and apple pie crushed into mud in the tavern all miraculously disappeared, leaving the empty cave except for
Apart from a few cracks in the floor, there was no evidence that a fierce battle had taken place—not even that it had been a tavern ten minutes earlier.
The long ray of sunlight entering the door illuminated the proprietress and the two waiters. The proprietress was sitting at a small folding table, still wearing the apron stained with flour, looking a little angry. There was a table on the table.
There is a beautiful carved tea tray, on which are placed a plate of biscuits, seven exquisite bone china tea cups and a teapot, which exudes a faint fragrance.
"Sit down, drink this cup of tea, forget what happened here, and don't be naughty again in the future." The landlady said angrily.
With a smile, the red-haired Iophanni arranged for everyone to sit on a small folding stool and poured a cup of light blue tea for everyone. "Would you like sugar and milk?" She handed over a small silver spoon and asked diligently,
Joop and Sibi asked for sugar and milk, Jonathan for milk, and Elliot for a laurel stick.
The aroma of hot moongrass tea made everyone feel refreshed.
"Grandma, after drinking this cup of tea, will we lose our memory?" Xibi asked with wide eyes.
"Read less knightly novels, I say." The landlady said, "This is the highest quality moon grass produced in the glacier area of the northern continent. It is guarded by wolves day and night. After the war started, the caravan was interrupted. This is what I have left.
The last bit."
"That's right, the last ounce." Pillar confirmed with his hands behind his back. The bartender still looked sad.
Jonah picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The tea was very hot, but the taste was very cold, which made him tremble all over. He shook his head and was pleasantly surprised to find that his headache was relieved a lot and he gradually became more focused.
"Ma'am," he asked, choosing his words carefully, "thank you for the tea. It was really good, but I'm confused. What's all this about?"
"Good question!" the landlady said, cheering up. "If the temperature is too high when making tea, it will destroy the crystallization on the surface of the moon grass leaves, causing the flavor to turn into steam and escape; if the temperature is too low, the tea leaves will not be drawn out at all.
Fragrance, so you can call it 'the boss lady's moongrass tea', besides me, who else can maintain the right temperature for five minutes and ten seconds, making moongrass tea a real work of art?"
"Uh... I think that's not what the magician wants to ask. But I praise the taste of this tea again, it's delicious! I can drink more of it." Qiao Pu raised his cup. Yophani raised the teapot and helped him fill it up.
.
"What do you want to ask?" The landlady raised her eyebrows.
"Wait a minute!" Elliot, who had been frowning since just now, suddenly said, and everyone looked up at him. For everyone sitting on the folding stool, he was frighteningly tall as he was riding a unicorn.
"I think I know," the Rose Knight twirled his temples with his fingers, his blue eyes shining sharply, "You are..."
"You guessed it right." Bill said with a frown, turning to the landlady: "It's time for us to set off."
"Well, there are wars everywhere, and it's getting harder and harder to find a good place to open a shop... Troublemakers, I hope that when I see you again, you can seriously taste the food of the landlady, and don't fight anymore
It’s time to kill them. Let’s go.” The silver-haired landlady stood up and patted her apron.
"Goodbye, handsome guys and beauties." Yophani winked at Qiao Pu.
"Goodbye, gentlemen." Pillar bowed dejectedly.
The two waiters followed the footsteps of the landlady and walked into the darkness deep in the cave. The footsteps gradually faded away until nothing could be heard. Xibi jumped up and ran to look. Deep in the cave was a solid rock wall.
, there was no gap, no secret door, the three people just disappeared in front of everyone.
The seven people sat quietly and drank tea. After a long while, Jonah asked: "What just happened?"
"I don't know much about it. This day was quite a failure, for me; there was no news at all about the two dragon knights, they killed so many people for no reason, and their armor was also damaged," Qiao Pu stroked his scales sadly.
The wound was cut by a skull blade, "Three soldiers died. The regiment leader will punish me by cleaning the horse pen."
"Maybe we know about the Dragon Knight?" Sibi said.
The dragon knight shook his head, "The cost of asking you to speak is too high. Since you are not the left-wing People's Liberation Army, there is no reason to fight. I'd better save my energy and drink tea. By the way, the tea is really good, I
I promise this is not a compliment to that weird boss lady." He picked up the teapot and shook it, and looked a little frustrated when he heard that there was not much moongrass tea left.
"You killed dozens of people, innocent people," Jonah said.
Qiao Pu looked at him slightly strangely: "Innocent people? We are the conquerors of the Western Continent."
"Newcomer." Xibi said contemptuously.
"Where there is no law, there is no innocence. My dear magician brother, let's wait until the order in the Western Continent is re-established before we discuss ethical issues. By the way, let me share some information, the Bazelal strategy is almost completed." Dragon Knight said.
.
"Has the royal city really been captured?" Elliot asked.
"Yes, five days ago. The king committed suicide. The Sutherland royal family fled eastward and is now hiding in Mortimer Fortress. It is a solid stone building on the only way to the royal city from here. It is difficult to defeat.
"Qiaopu disclosed military information without hesitation.
"The royal heir has appeared?" asked Rosenkavalier.
"Yes, it is said that the princess named Abdel ascended the throne and became the queen..." Just as Qiaopu was talking, Sibi and Jonah rushed over to cover his mouth at the same time and glanced at Toba. The elders squeezed absently.
The tea cup, which was as small as a toy to him, studied the texture of the floor and seemed not to hear it. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the dragon knight asked with his eyes: What are you doing again? Jonah quickly let go and apologized.
"Xibi, you and the room chief are both from Bazeral, right?" Long Ji said.
"Yeah. But don't worry, I don't have any stupid national plot, and I don't have the slightest fondness for my hometown." Xibi seemed not to want to talk more about this topic.
"That's right!" Jonah suddenly stood up, stuttering a little because of his excitement, "Saint Bolen! Did you capture the Red Stone Castle with your golden hammer?"
"Oh, yes. Are you from St. Bollen? Do you want to challenge me for a duel?" Qiao Pu touched the hilt of the sword indifferently.
"No, no, I want to ask, have you attacked the Astrology Tower? The tall tower in the center of the red plain is not too far from the Red Stone Castle." Jonah asked eagerly.
"Astrology Tower? Not in my mind. Wait..." Qiao Pu held his flaxen curly hair and thought for a moment, "After capturing the Red Stone Castle, the Golden Hammer immediately set off south and entered Bazeral, and then Yeli
His Majesty Zawetan announced that he was tearing up the "United Amnesty Decree". At that time, we were already near the Royal City of Bazeral. If anyone attacked the Astrology Tower, it must be the Ravens, another ground dragoon unit that subsequently entered St. Boron.
Corps'. You'd better ask someone from Raven."
"Raven Corps." Yona sat down slumped and muttered silently. Is there still no news about Master Keshava...
Long Ji patted his arm to express comfort.
"What mission do the two Golden Earth Dragon Knights you are looking for perform?" Elliot asked.
"I won't tell you...unless you hand me the sugar cube." The dragon knight replied good-naturedly.
Elliot bent down, deftly picked up the sugar cube with his scabbard, and threw it to Jope.
Qiao Pu added two pieces of sugar to the last cup of moongrass tea. After thinking about it, he added another piece and stirred it with a silver spoon. "Those two guys are the messengers of the Golden Hammer. You may not know, Isaac Kehoe."
The Colonel has some personal relations with the Colombo tribe. In fact, the lance-throwing technique of the Golden Hammer Dragoons was improved based on the Colombo people's lance-throwing secrets. The Captain wants to inform the Colombo people: before the complete conquest of Bazeral
After that, the Zhawi Empire will send troops to continue sweeping eastward, expel the indigenous people, build a new port on the north bank of the Holy River, and open up a new channel to the southern continent."
"New port?" Rosenkavalier breathed.
"Yes, after unifying the Western Continent, His Majesty the King has some interest in the legendary and extremely rich Golden City in the Southern Continent." Qiao Pu showed a charming smile.
"What about Cherry Crossing?" several people asked at the same time.
"Judging from the captain's thoughts, he will let Yingying Duo go as he pleases. Dad is an immortal legend that has been circulating on this continent for fifty years. The group leader thinks that he should be given enough respect. Don't worry, Yingying Du.
Friends." The dragon knight drank all the tea in the cup and stood up, "It's time for my 'Pearl' to have a meal. Let's say goodbye like this. Friends, judging from your expressions, the disappearance of the two dragon knights is related to the disappearance of the two dragon knights.
Cherry Crossing cannot be separated, but the decision is still left to the leader. I am just a nobody. When we meet again, I hope we can sit down and drink tea - but if we must fight, I hope neither of us will show mercy.
.Goodbye, friends,—goodbye, mysterious Miss Oriental."
Qiao Pu bowed deeply to everyone with his hands on his right chest, gave Long Ji a meaningful look, left a smile, turned and walked out of the tavern door. "Line up!" His voice came from outside the broken door, "Let's go!"
The walking dragon let out a deep roar, and the rumble of treading on the ground was heard, and the cavalry of the Zhawi Empire gradually moved away.
"Don't want to fight him," Elliott said.
"Tell me who she is, who is she?" Sibi finally couldn't bear it any longer, jumped up, hugged Rose Knight's thigh, and chirped, "Tell me, who is that old lady? Who is she?"
"Let's leave here first, and then we can talk slowly. The governor of Sucasa Canyon will appear soon, and it will be very troublesome." Elliot tried to persuade him.
The sunlight entering the door was blocked. "I have arrived." A voice said.
