Chapter 74 73: Continued Fermentation (Seeking follow-up reading, monthly ticket)

Fisherman's Harbor,
Night, Beauty Tavern.

A sailor aboard the Percinus, Humphrey was a famous and eccentric bachelor.

He always said that he would just be poor in this life and that he didn't need to get married and have children and let a woman and child suffer with him.

Therefore, he was unwilling to get married. Even if a woman took the initiative to get close to him, and even though his salary was not small, it still could not change his mind.

This made him look like a weird person in the eyes of others, but he didn't care.

Of course, as a bachelor, he still had some money, and his favorite thing to do was drinking.

The reason why the Beauty Tavern is famous in Fisherman's Harbor is because the owner is a hot beauty and the barmaids hired are also quite pretty.

This makes the pub's business much better than other pubs.

However, if you think you can have fun here under the influence of alcohol, I'm sorry, the female boss will let you know that you can be unrestrained anywhere except here.

However, today, when Humphrey walked into the pub, the noise suddenly became quiet.

But he didn't care at all. He walked to a chair and sat down, then shouted loudly and asked for a glass of the best ale.

A plump waitress came up quickly, handed over a glass of dark beer, and gave a subtle hint.

But Humphrey seemed not to see it. He drank the wine in big gulps. He felt relaxed and looked a little tipsy.

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded: "Humphrey, I heard that you made a lot of money this time?"

Humphrey took another gulp and finished the glass of wine. Then he stood up and said loudly, "You want to know?"

"Of course I want to know!"

"Our trip was thrilling, with many life-threatening situations, but we also gained a lot.

However, if you want to know the details, you can. Who is willing to pay for my next drink?"

After he said this, there was silence for a moment. Finally, someone spoke up and said, "This drink is on me!"

As he spoke, three copper Tire coins were thrown into the air, drew an arc, and landed on the long table in the tavern.

Immediately, a wine girl took the copper coin and brought Humphrey a glass of ale.

Humphrey took it and took another sip. His eyes were cunning and clear as he enjoyed it.

Putting down his wine glass, he said, “This voyage actually started with Mr. Maruna Marquez, the owner of the Xiangsheli Magic Textile Factory.

Everyone knows how difficult the God's Grace Festival was, right? His two children..."

A "story" that has been remembered by countless people.

So, that night, Humphrey changed three pubs and gave the speech no less than six times.

Finally, after getting himself drunk, he calmed down.

……

East of the city,

A residential area.

The bow-wielding man was covered with various gifts. When he happily opened the door of his house, his expression suddenly changed.

Various gifts were scattered on the ground, and two sharp blades extended from the bow, but before he could pull out the arrow, a long sword was already placed on his wife's neck.

The force seemed to be a little too great, resulting in a blood mark.

What's even more terrible is that the man with the bow could feel two more people appearing behind him. Although they didn't draw their weapons, just the look they gave him was creepy enough.

The man holding the bow immediately raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions, and said, "Everyone, if you want to rob me, I still have some money in my waist bag, you can take it.

As long as my family is not harmed, everything else is fine."

At this time, someone nearby spoke up, "I heard that this time when Maruna went to pay the ransom, your Bauhinia Mercenary Group escorted him the entire time?"

The big man holding the bow turned his head slightly and saw the man sitting at the table.

Although he was also wearing black leather armor, a black cloak, and a mask covering his face, his features could not be seen clearly.

But considering his experience, the tone of his voice, the way he sits, and the elegance of his manners, these are not things that ordinary people can possess.

This is a noble!
After coming to this conclusion, the bow-wielding man was startled and lowered his posture: "Yes, I accepted the mission, and I encountered a lot of things during this trip to the sea."

"I am somewhat interested in your experiences. Can you tell me in detail?"

"Okay, I'll tell you everything I know. I just have one request. I hope you can let my family go after you're sure I'm not lying."

"Okay! Then tell me, who were the enemies you encountered during this trip?"

"There are many. Pirates, navy, swordsmen, and troublemakers. Which one do you want to know about?"

"You seem to talk too much?!"

"Then I will start from the beginning, explain it bit by bit, without leaving any details. If you have any questions, you can ask them at any time and I will answer them.

Is that okay?

"it is good!"

For a full hour, the bow-wielding man described his experiences in great detail, leaving out nothing from his perspective.

The man also questioned repeatedly until he verified that there was no contradiction in what the man with the bow said, and then he stopped.

After they left, the big man with the bow finally hugged his wife and children, his eyes emitting a fierce light.

After all, he was a second-level combat professional, how could he not have a temper? But after just a few breaths, he laughed bitterly again.

Thinking about the request of the man on the boat, he suddenly understood that the other party was paving a way out for them.

……

Herbert, the boatswain of the Percinus, was also well-liked on the ship.

But he never expected that he would be hit with a club and dragged to a place that looked like a torture chamber just after he got off the boat.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the burning iron, the skinning knife, dark red blood stains everywhere, and the strong smell of rust at the tip of his nose...

He felt like he was going crazy, and what was even crazier was that a group of people stripped off his clothes and pretended to torture him.

Just when he was about to piss himself, someone finally came and asked, "Haven't you figured out the details yet?"

Before the torturers could speak, Herbert started to cry "wuwuwuwu".

The rope on his mouth was pulled away, and he shouted almost without hesitation: "What do you want to know? Ask? Ask?"

"You didn't even ask, so how do you know I don't want to talk? You even sealed my mouth, so I can't say anything even if I want to."

"You, what do you mean?"

In the cell, Herbert's accusation was so moving that it made the visitor a little confused. He asked, "You didn't ask?"

But the executioner felt even more aggrieved: "Captain, no, boss, you didn't tell us what to ask?"

"Oh, is that so? Um, um, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you."

"woo woo woo woo……"

……

slums,
In the shadowy corner, a purse was thrown out. The elder brother of the twin detectives took it, and then he added some padding to make sure there was enough money, then he grinned.

A deep voice came from the shadows: "I'll give you the money, but if the information you give me is wrong, it will cost you your life."

"Don't worry, my information is absolutely the most accurate.

Besides, that person really didn’t intend to hide anything, so he asked us to tell him everything and take the money.”

The deep voice seemed a little unbelievable: "He really said that?"

"Not only did he say that, he also asked us to do it. If you don't believe it, listen to the rumors after a while. I guarantee that it's true to the word!"

"That's interesting. Tell me, what kind of person is this illegitimate son of Count Raymond?"

When asked this question, the elder brother of the twin detectives was stunned and did not speak for a long time.

It was not until the deep voice urged him impatiently that he spoke faintly: "I have never seen such a terrifying person!"

……

The next day,

The early morning sun shines down, dispelling the darkness and cold.

In the Executive Hall,

Lord Dorji Petrovich devoured his breakfast in big mouthfuls, sipping the strong coffee, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

At one side, a young man with blond hair and extremely elegant and capable manners reported to him about Roy's sea trip.

Until one moment, after hearing the evaluation of the older twin detective, Dorji could not help but stop eating and look up slightly:

"He said that Roy was the scariest person he had ever seen?"

"That's what the detective said!"

"Haha, a frog in a well can only see the sky, how dare you talk nonsense like that?"

Dorji sneered, but paused before continuing, "Of course, I have to admit that this kid is lucky. How could he get such a reward?"

"Merry Aaron is also a waste. We gave him so much support and sent a demon wizard of extraordinary rank, but he lost so miserably?!"

"Waste! Waste! Such waste!"

He shouted angrily several times, showing his attitude. At this time, the blond young man said, "Sir Archon, should we do it?"

"No need to go through so much trouble. That fortune is not so easy to get. Who knows how many people are eyeing it?
Let's wait and see what happens. It won't be too late to take action once things change!"

"Yes!"

The young man responded, and when he saw that Dorji had no more instructions, he walked out.

However, after only half an hour, he knocked on the door again.

"Mr. Archon, Naroyi has attacked again!"

"What did he do again?"

"He, he, he is sending people to return the bodies of those kidnapped families?"

Dorji was stunned for dozens of breaths, and suddenly laughed: "You are quite quick-witted, but I don't know if you really have the ability to get through this level?"

"I just want to see how you perform?!"

　I forgot the time, please forgive me!
