The cannon of rebirth, your uncle's ashes

Chapter 55 The Stranger in the Small Town

A frontier frontier town in the western part of the Dawn Continent, Daur.

In the troubled times, the so-called speculative heroes and thrill-seekers began to surge, and the number of adventurers and mercenaries who had declined in peacetime surged, and their active figures could be seen in every corner of towns and cities.

This is also normal, who asked the race to recruit mercenaries from the entire continent with a lot of money?There are needs and needs, and naturally there are people who want to make a fortune and speculate.

Since three months ago, the wind tunnel was suddenly opened in Domis City, the heart of the mainland, and the elite soldiers originally reserved to fight against the evil tide were wiped out. It quickly collapsed when it was completely built successfully. The multi-layered defense that cost a lot of money was eroded by the incomparably arrogant magic soldiers, and it was as fragile as a paper wall. The leader of the human race empire and the main city alliance were retreating steadily, and the current forces were quickly recovered. Until they huddled in the plains and hills near the northwest coast, after the main city alliance and the imperial alliance completely abandoned their previous suspicions and joined forces, they finally barely stopped the invading defense line of the magic soldiers.On the contrary, the eastern orc defense line and the southern elf defense line, which were always the first to collapse in history, did not have any major problems this time, and firmly defended the vast land of the Great Plains and the Elf Forest.

It is also under such circumstances that it is called a gathering of the five major races, but in fact it is mainly the meeting of the three major races that is finalized to be held in Daur City. The main topic is how to effectively use existing resources to quickly curb the rapid expansion of the demons.

However, what kind of purpose it is for, I am afraid that only the various power giants participating in the meeting can understand it in their hearts.

In a small bar not far from the gate of Daur City, a blazing torch was burning on the dark interior wall, tentatively illuminating the somewhat crowded interior.Countless people with rough bodies and muscular bodies were drinking noisily at their respective tables, talking to each other about what they had seen and heard recently, and vulgar jokes popped up from time to time, causing everyone around them to laugh and tease.

Suddenly, the door of the bar was suddenly pushed open, and some sharp wind outside brought a icy chill around the room, and then a huge figure who was much stronger than the people present walked in bent over, behind him He also followed four other people who were regarded as followers.

The originally noisy room suddenly fell silent, and then someone yelled loudly.

"Hey, isn't this John? Looking at you, you have been sent to patrol outside the city again? Come in and warm up! Boss, quickly serve John the strongest wine, I invite it!"

Hearing the words, the big man who came in glanced at the source of the sound, and before he took off his chilly coat, he strode over with grinning teeth, and threw a jingle toward the dim bar. The ringing bag said, "Gauss, I only gave you a jug of wine when I saw the uncle coming? It seems that your business has not been very good recently. Boss, bring another bucket, and I will invite our brothers Gao Si to have a full meal! By the way, I paid for the drinks of the brothers present today!"

Seeing this, the people who had been silent before gradually became noisy again, raising their cups towards the big man who was still sitting still.

"John, it seems that your harvest is not bad today!"

"As expected of John! A great warrior!"

"John, if your reputation spreads, the girls in the vicinity will probably come to watch with all their hearts and minds later!"

The big man whose name was called proudly picked up a large number of rough wooden wine glasses, saluted the surroundings, and then drank it down in one gulp, welcoming another round of applause.

While the crowd was jubilant, the door of the bar opened again, and four thin figures in cloaks walked in, probably because the crowd was in the midst of excitement, except for the few people at the door, no one noticed.

Seeing the too noisy scene in the room, the taller person couldn't help frowning slightly, and then whispered to the leader, "Your Highness, why don't we find another one?"

"It's okay, we can get more news in such a tavern."

Seeing that the leader did not object, and the slightly taller person who was about the size of a supervisor stopped trying to persuade him, he just signaled to the other two people following him to find a quiet place in the corner near the bar and sit down.

"Hey, John, I heard that people from the five major races have arrived in the past few days, right? Have you encountered them while patrolling outside?" In the corner, a guy with a pale face mentioned these days' hot topics with great interest. .

"Karan, it seems that the conference participants of the five major races are all birds flying in the sky, and they are all the same at a glance. Under such circumstances, people's hearts are still uncertain, and the situation is not stable. Although Daur is considered safe, it is still safe. It also belongs to the front line, those so-called nobles may just send a few representatives to show off, they will definitely not come in a big way, do you still want John to keep staring at the city gate to identify which one is that?"

Once someone started to talk like a secret, the half-drunk people in the whole room began to exchange their recent knowledge noisily, and their words and tone became more and more unscrupulous.

"You can't say that. It's fine for other meetings to show off, but this time it's different. I still heard from an insider about this matter, saying that this meeting will re-discuss the division of the three major forces. !"

"Regional division? What's that? Just trying to stabilize the situation, what are those big masters trying to do? The reason why we're driving us here is to let them reap the rewards." ah!"

For a while, many people who had accumulated a lot of grievances started to complain, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Suddenly, the sound of a cup being heavily slammed on the table sounded, and the people who came up with the strength of alcohol quieted down again, and looked inside one after another. The strong John, who was sitting by the stove with a gloomy face, saw the other party humming coldly. With a sound, the bearded face became more and more fierce.

"What's wrong, I'm so happy today, I invite you to drink a few glasses of wine, and the bear's gall will come out? I don't even look at who you are relying on for dinner, you dare to discuss the above things when you open your mouth and shut up? Ka Lan, the envoys from the Gonrada Empire just arrived at the City Lord's Mansion yesterday, do you want me to take you there to see what those people from the imperial capital look like?"

"I...Brother John, let me see what those people are doing. With my status, I should be exempted...Exempted..."

"Oh, you also know that your identity is not on the stage. Si Kang, are you dissatisfied with the meeting above? Feeling aggrieved, don't you? Those people didn't do anything. You are the only one in the world. Did the great hero Scone save it?"

"Why, how could it be, you really misunderstood what you said, it's obviously a drag on the blessings of the higher-ups... we can talk and chat like this, and drink some wine when the eggs hurt, right, brothers ?”

"That's right, that's right!"

"These leisurely days are really rare!"

In an instant, the room was once again enveloped in flattery and praise, until the man who questioned everyone knocked on the rim of the cup vigorously, the room became quiet again.

"Okay, don't talk to me about what you have and what you don't have. It's not like I can't see it. I don't know what you think in your heart? Normally, you can just talk nonsense to me. Keep your mouth shut for the past few days, you may be sitting next to your door, which tribe happens to be sitting next to you, and if you offend someone you can't afford, no one will be able to save you!" His eyes like copper bells stared like yellow balls Usually, after threatening to inspect the people around, John nestled back into the soft recliner again, as if he didn't care about other things anymore, and the people around him started discussing again in a low voice after seeing this.

"This man is a bit interesting." In the quiet corner of the room, the little man sitting outside the leader seemed to be attracted by the conversation in the room just now. Seeing the strong man's few threats, the others were frightened into obedience. He laughed softly, and stopped his presumptuous behavior until the other gave him a hard look.

"It's okay, Kane, don't be too strict with them. Buno and Tia didn't make any mistakes." Probably because they sat at the warm table and rested for a while, the cold voice from before came over. There was a hint of warmth, and a sense of relaxation slowly permeated the body leaning on the back of the chair. The eyes covered under the cloak turned around, and a little bored glanced at a sight that had been looking at this side vaguely since they came in. , when the other party couldn't look back in embarrassment, the teaspoon in the other hand slightly tilted towards the other party.

"Your Highness!" Kane, who noticed Igor's movements, sighed, his low voice contained helpless tolerance and a little blame, and Igor smiled while holding a teaspoon in his hand. Under the loose cloak, you can see Seeing that, the corners of the well-lined lips evoked a somewhat childish arc, and then smoothed his expression when the person in the distance came over, stirring the hot drink indifferently, acting as if he didn't know anything. look like.

Really, it was obvious that His Highness provoked people out of boredom at the beginning, but why does he always act like he has nothing to do with you and leave it to you in the end?Should I be grateful for His Highness's complete trust, or should I be helpless for His Highness's willfulness?

Even though he was thinking this way, Kane still slightly blocked the figure of His Highness behind him when the guy with the rather wretched eyes came over with a flattering face, raised his jaw a little arrogantly towards a stool beside him, and then sat on the other side. When it was down, the finger moved slightly and happened to throw a silver coin into the opponent's arms.

The person who received the silver coins vigilantly blocked the silver coins he had just bought with his sleeves and arms. His tattered sleeves tried hard to block the silver light. Looking at the dazzling colors, his frostbitten and muddy fingers could not help picking at the silver coins. He glanced around twice, then grabbed the silver coin in his hand suddenly, and bit it hard with his big yellow teeth like treating the meat in his mouth, then licked his lips contentedly, and asked with a smile, " My lord is looking for me, what orders do you have?"

With some disgust, he retracted his arm close to the other party, Kane cleared his throat, his light blue eyes showed a hint of indifference, "local?"

"Hey, my lord has a good eye. I'm a local with ten percent integrity. I count on my fingers. I've been in Daur for more than ten years. I've been in Daur before the demon tide came." Got it." Probably because he got what he wanted, the person who was so wretched at the beginning, his whole face seemed to be wrinkled in a smile, but there was only a slit left of his eyes that were still shining.

Kane twitched the corners of his mouth, then turned his face away to pretend he wasn't talking, "Then, the information you have must be more accurate than others, right?"

"Of course, I never brag about this!" As if afraid of being discovered by others, the man in tattered clothes deliberately pressed his body in Kane's direction, and said in a low voice, "At least, it's better than that John, Much more accurate."

"No way, isn't that guy from above?" Kane deliberately made a surprised look, and also lowered his voice to chat back.

"Hey, what kind of superior is he!" The wretched information revealer curled his lips in disdain, as if he suddenly remembered that the master they were discussing was also in the same room, his eyes rolled a little nervously, and then he spoke again, " He was hired to look at the city gate, but he came earlier, so he was a little bit higher than the others. In fact, he didn't understand anything! Don't look at his righteousness just now, in fact I don't pretend to have anything in my head, I just talk about tunes and people's tugging all day long, and what comes out of my mouth is not pleasing to the ear!"

"Oh? Why doesn't it sound good?"

Hearing that the listeners were interested, the guy who said it naturally used the news he knew to please this wealthy man who was obviously not a local but had a lot of money, "As far as I know, the mission of Gunluoda alone is not like his As I said, I came yesterday. I have a reliable source. The leading emissary of Gon Luoda was clearly with the people from the main city alliance. They arrived the day before yesterday. On the day they arrived, the meeting room of the city lord was lit What about the night lights! The one that came yesterday is at best a cover-up!"

Hearing that Kane turned his head and looked at the person behind him, he twitched the corner of his eyes slightly when he realized the interest in the other person's eyes, then turned his head and continued to inquire without leaving a trace.

"You're guessing all this yourself. Everyone knows who Gong Luoda asked for in the main city some time ago, saying that he was covering up something, and there was a lot of trouble. Why did they come to you? It seems that they are just putting on a show. It's easy to fool us if we are not locals!"

"Hey, my lords, how dare I lie to you, I am just relying on this little news to make some food, how dare I lie to you! The relationship between the people above is intricate, and the surface is a set , It’s the same in private, just like the relationship between the elves and the beasts! It depends on it, but it depends on the essence.”

Hearing the word elf orc in his ears, the listener couldn't help but hold his breath, and the other two small guards who didn't speak at the side also looked at each other, and they secretly held their weapons under the table.

"Why did you talk about the elves and orcs?"

"Isn't it popular recently that the power of the orcs grows bigger and wants to annex other weaker races and fight with the human races? In fact, those fools don't know that the orcs and elves have already secretly communicated the song. What annexation caused conflicts? Yes, it was deliberately made for outsiders to see, and those guys who co-authored it foolishly believed it!"

"The information you have here seems to be really interesting." Tossing a silver coin casually, Kane pretended not to care and took a sip of the teacup at hand, but the slight coldness only made him frown. Then he looked directly at the people who were drinking together, but his lips moved slightly, "How many representatives from various parties have come? Who are all here, do you know?"

"Hey, this matter... I know a little bit, but I don't know the details..."

Hearing the other party's cryptic request for a price increase, Kane threw another silver coin impatiently, and his subordinates seemingly unintentionally put the hanging cup on the table.

The informant who received the information when he saw it was good smiled a little wretchedly, and then said with a terrible look, "The people on the human side, that is, the joint mission of Gong Luoda and the main city, the leader on the main city is just An unimportant civilian job, but a great person came from Gon Luoda's side. It is said that it was during this period of time that he shined brilliantly on the Northwest Front. The famous Constantine family!"

As if some taboo words were mentioned, Kane involuntarily glanced at the figure aside from the corner of his eye again, and saw that the other person was holding a kettle and refilling himself with hot drinks, as if there was nothing unusual, so he looked away again.

The source, who was trying his best to satisfy the three gold coins in return, didn't notice the strangeness here, and greedily downed a large cup of hot drink that was pushed in front of him. The lingering aroma made him sip it Zui, "... from the orc side, it is said that he is the second son of the great chief. Although he is the second son, he seems to have a much higher reputation in the tribe than his elder brother. This time, he probably wants to coat himself with gold. What. The dwarves came with the orcs. The words of the tree people did not come at all this time, and the words of the elves have not appeared here. It is probably because of the division of power proposed by the human race this time. Not very interested...My lord, do you think this news is enough...?"

Casually threw another silver coin to send the opponent away, Kane picked up the cup
