Roland slowly drank the fruit wine while slowly looking at the other guests in the tavern.
Most of the guests carry various weapons, have a ferocious temperament, and are mostly mercenaries. The anomaly that Roland discovered happened to them.
Before entering the tavern, Roland heard at the door that it was very lively and the noise was endless. But when the three of them entered the tavern, their voices suddenly became quieter.
At first, Roland thought that the magic robe on his body was too intimidating. After all, spellcasters have a high status in this world. But then he discovered that he did have a certain deterrent effect, but the eyes of more mercenaries fell on Hawke and Link.
Although the clothes of these two people were shabby and they looked very poor, almost all the mercenaries had a look of fear in their eyes when they saw them. When he saw Roland's magic robe, he just felt like "this guy is not easy to mess with".
This is a very obvious difference.
'This guy is not easy to mess with', but you can still mess with him.
As for 'fear', it means 'I seem to be no match for this guy, will he jump up and slap me in the face? '
This is the difference between the two.
These mercenaries are afraid of Hawke and Link! Roland came to this conclusion, and then he remembered that Hawke had said before that they had to fight several gangs to get the place to stay.
Moreover, he also remembered that Gru in the Gray Sand Tavern had told him a few days ago that two Golden Sons had confronted a nobleman some time ago, and he threatened that he would never stop until the nobleman was killed.
Roland watched the two players eating meat across from each other, and asked after a while: "Is the food here still to your liking?"
Hawke nodded vigorously while eating: "In this game, I haven't eaten such delicious meat for a long time. The two bodies in reality and in the game are separate. Although in reality I am tired of eating meat every day, But as soon as you enter the game, your body tells your brain that it wants to eat meat..."
Roland smiled and continued to ask: "Is the wine here good?"
"Okay." Hawke buried his head in eating.
"Have the nobles been killed?"
"Kill..." Hawke suddenly raised his head at this time: "I'll go, you try to trick me."
Link looked up at Roland and continued eating.
Roland chuckled lightly: "It's not a cliche. Anyway, we can find out if you did it just by investigating. To be honest, I admire you very much. You actually had a confrontation with a noble."
"That noble deserves to die." Hawke's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Roland was a little curious: "Can you tell me what's going on?"
"Actually, it's not something worth showing off." Hawke put down the large piece of meat in his hand, sighed slightly, and talked about what happened.
It turns out that nearly a month ago, Hawke and the others were struggling to make a living here in Delbon City. As they just said, they couldn't understand the language, couldn't even eat enough, and starved to death several times.
Later, they hunted outside the city and barely managed to maintain a living.
However, there is not always prey in the woods, so they plan to go to the river to see if they can catch some fish.
As a result, the bodies of children were found by the river for several days in a row. They seemed to be beggars.
Both boys and girls had their hearts opened and their hearts missing.
Hearing this, Roland's face turned pale, and he subconsciously squeezed his wine glass tightly.
He had already guessed what happened and its outcome.
Sure enough, as he had guessed, the two of them laid an ambush by the river, and met the person who dumped the body the next morning. The two stepped forward and maimed the person who dumped the body. Even though they couldn't understand the language, they still used gestures and some Commonly used words tortured the question of who the main messenger was and why he wanted to kill children.
"Because that nobleman believes that drinking the blood from a child's heart can prolong his youth! It's so fucking ridiculous."
Hawke punched the table hard, his eyes bloodshot, and he roared.
The roar echoed throughout the tavern, and everyone's voices fell silent.
Roland sighed and said nothing.
"I was unhappy and angry. I held the child's body, dragged the person who dumped the body, and went to the noble's house to question him. Do you know what they said?"
Roland sighed and said, "It's probably because it's an honor for those children to sacrifice their lives for the nobles."
"Hahaha, you are worthy of being a mage. You are indeed smart." Hawke said through gritted teeth: "Not only did the nobleman not show any intention of feeling guilty or repentant, he actually arrested us and charged us with assaulting a nobleman. .”
Roland didn't expect this.
He poured Hawke a glass of wine and continued to ask, "How did you get out later?"
"Do you need to come out?" Hawke said with a ferocious smile: "I strangled Link to death in prison, and then hit the wall to commit suicide. After rebirth from the Temple of Life, we went straight to the noble manor, grabbed the wooden sticks and rushed in. "
Speaking of this, Roland keenly noticed that the expressions of the mercenaries around him became strange, and they seemed to be a little scared.
"At first, we didn't have much combat experience. With the physical fitness of professionals, after killing one or two soldiers, we would be beaten to death by them." Hawke's expression was filled with pleasure: "But it doesn't matter. We will do it in half an hour. He was reborn and rushed into the manor again. After killing two or three people, he was chopped into pieces again."
Some mercenaries began to leave, and the tavern became increasingly quiet.
Roland turned his head to look around, then turned back and said in admiration: "There must have been a lot of people watching at that time."
"It seems to be quite a lot, but we didn't think that much at the time." Hawke continued: "Every time we die, our combat experience will be improved. Later, on our way to resurrection, there will be some masked people. They provided some rusty iron weapons for us to use. With the equipment, we could kill four or five people before we died. At this time, the noble became a little scared, because more than half of his private soldiers were killed or wounded. He asked the soldiers to capture He lived with us and tied us to a tree, saying that as long as the two of us became his subordinates and served him for life, he would forgive us and not hold us accountable for our sins."
Hearing this, Roland couldn't help laughing.
"I spat on his face on the spot." Hawke slapped the table vigorously and shouted excitedly: "Then the noble thought that by tying us up, we would have nothing to do? Link and I bit off our tongues, and later found out If you can't die like this, just struggle hard and keep struggling, and you will either break the rope or die from exhaustion!"
I go!
Hearing this, Roland couldn't help but extend his thumb and said in admiration: "You guys are awesome."
Hawke looked proud and accepted Roland's admiration, while Link looked a little shy and embarrassed.
"Anyway, after we were resurrected, we continued to go straight to the noble manor to kill people." Hawke suddenly sneered at this time: "Then some inexplicable big shots came over and told us to be rational and not impulsive, trying to stop Some of us even threatened us, saying that we had committed a terrible thing and offended the nobles, and that we would be despised by the gods and thrown into the wall of the unbelievers."
At this point, Hawke suddenly stood on the chair, put his foot on the table, raised his head and drank the fruit wine, then slammed the cup to the ground, and roared: "I will tell them directly that I will kill that bastard noble. No one can stop me, not even gods. Anyone who stops me will be an accomplice and will be killed together!"
The fierce roar echoed throughout the tavern!
At this moment, all the mercenaries stopped their movements, too scared to move.
