Lucian looked at this strange scene in front of the pub funny, and walked to the door with doubts, but in the morning when the pub was the coldest.

At the door of the tavern, a slim girl was secretly looking in. Her long blond hair shook slightly as her head turned left and right. When she turned her head with a sigh, she was startled: "Lucien ? "

Is it someone who knows me but I don't know?Lucien is well adapted to this situation and smiles: "Are you in the tavern so early?"

The girl's wheat-colored skin turned red at once: "I just heard that a new bard was coming from Tongguan Tavern. I was curious and came over to see my mother before doing things. Well, time is running out, I go first."

Watching the girl leave hurriedly, Lucian gave a soft whisper, it seemed that the bard's appearance or singing was extraordinary.

However, this had nothing to do with Lucien himself, so he gently pushed open the half-covered tavern door and walked in.

The dark space, the strong smell of wine, the crackling wooden floor, the messy tables and chairs, this is Lucien's first impression of the copper crown tavern, walk in from the outside in a refreshing and bright morning , Like coming to another world.

Lucian adjusted for a while before seeing where the bar was.

There were several men in the tavern who were hangovers here. Lucien was awakened by the sound of Lucien stepping on the floor. After swearing a few words, he lay on the table and continued to sleep.

There was only a man in his thirties with a hooked nose, wearing a long black tight coat, sitting quietly in a chair by the bar, slowly drinking a glass of amber wine, giving Lucien a gloomy feel.

For the arrival of Lucien, the gloomy man just glanced at it for a while before continuing to taste the wine in his glass.

Lucien looked around, and soon saw the dwarf sleeping behind the bar. He was sitting on a high one-legged stool, his head leaning against the bar, the snoring sounded loudly, and the spit would be golden with a bow. The long beard got wet a lot.

Seeing that there was no external force, the dwarf didn't seem to wake up for a long time. Lucian had to bend her fingers and knocked on the bar.

Amidst the vague slurs of the drunkards in the back, the old dwarf wobbled and slowly raised his head, his eyes dimly said, "Hi, Lucien, you finally grew up and finally understand the wine For the meaning of life, come, toast, toast for our new guests! "

"Uncle Korn, it's dawn." Lucien said with discretion.

Cohen rubbed his eyes and looked at the dim light around him: "I'm not drunk, don't you want to lie to me, this is clearly night, what a beautiful night."

After a meaningless conversation, Cohen finally woke up completely: "Lucien, there are not many things for you, and there is no long-term work for the time being. Other things, one is at nine o'clock in the morning, the market The Gucci shop in the district needs a batch of goods from the warehouse to the city gate area. There is a lack of manpower and three copper fairs, but you also know that this kind of thing is controlled by the Aaron gang, and finally you need to hand in a copper fair to They, the rest can only buy the worst brown bread. "

"One more thing, the musicians association is cleaning up today. There is a lot of garbage that needs to be sent to the Belem River outside the city. You rent a four-wheeled cart. After one o'clock in the afternoon, remove the money for renting the cart. It is good to earn eight copper fairs back and forth. Of course, you need to give three copper fairs to the Aaron gang.

"More than one o'clock in the afternoon, there are a few similar things, but unless you are a knight, you can't get back from outside the city."

Lucian nodded, and the Association of Musicians was the best job. At the same time, he speculated in his heart: "These seven coins on me should be Copper Fair."

"Uncle Korn, are there any other things with higher pay?" Lucien asked curiously.

Cohen laughed: "Hahaha, of course there are, but they are not suitable for you. That requires real men to fight with life and strength. Lucien, you are still a child who dare not drink ale."

Then he pointed to the open space in the middle of the tavern and became a little serious: "The dark mountains are the biggest treasures. There are three, five, six, seven every year. Forget it, I can't count them. In short, there are many, many mercenaries and adventurers. We entered the dark mountains, but only a very small part of it came out at last ... "Cohen burped," Of course, they are all rich. "

"Don't underestimate these mercenaries and adventurers, but among them there are many real knights, even big knights." A soft and magnetic voice sounded behind Lucien, the end of each sentence was very strange The upward movement presents a peculiar rhythmic beauty, giving a tempting and elegant feeling.

Lucien turned around and saw that the tavern was turned into a side of the inn. A silver-haired man came out, skinny pants, red jacket, high-necked black jacket, clearly formal clothes, but he seemed to be wearing it. Very lazy and casual, the facial features are deep and fine, silver pupils, strong nose bridge, thin lips, with a silvery silky hair, strange and handsome, seeing him, as if he had seen the beauty of the night silver moon .

Holding a harp similar to Joel, the young man walked over slowly.

"He's a new bard?" Lucian guessed in his mind, and then asked doubtfully: "Knights are real nobles, why would they go to the Dark Mountains to find wealth?"

Cohen greeted: "Hi, Rhine, don't you have a drink?"

"I only drink at night." Rhein sat down next to the bar with a smile. "In many countries in the east, there has been no war for two or three hundred years. The need for knights is not so urgent. After all, it is necessary to seal a knight. It was given to the manor and the land, so even if the civilians stimulated the blood power, they would at most obtain the status of knights, and could not become real nobles. Some of them went to other countries, became knights of other countries, and some went to Waou. The Principality of Ritter, the closest place to heretics, pagans, dark creatures, Warcraft, etc., is to establish merits and seek wealth. "

"In addition, there are a lot of poor knights who are bankrupt, knights convicted of evasion, aristocratic knights who follow family instructions, travel the mainland, and have inspired blood power, but because of the dark nature, they are not recognized by the church or even pursued. dark Knight."

Cohen mumbled a few words and was a little unhappy that Rhine did not accompany himself to drink: "Lucien, this is the new minstrel Rhine, Rhine? Karendia, he wanders around and knows a lot , Just got rid of the enthusiasm of the Tria ladies and came from the Kingdom of Syracuse. "

"The Kingdom of Syracuse?" Lucien smiled and nodded to the Rhine. The dark mountains were so dangerous that many real knights died in it, so Lucien temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​adventure for wealth, no matter when Sober understanding of one's own strength is very important.

Korn laughed, his long golden beard shook violently, and the wrinkled dwarf face said in an ambiguous way that all men understood: "Yes, that is the passionate, unrestrained, love above all Syrah The ancient kingdom. "

When a drunk appeared in Rhein, he woke up, stumbled to the bar, burped, and asked with longing and envy: "Rhein, the lady and lady of Tria, are they as legendary? Beautiful, well, so passionate? "

With a faint smile, Rhein said in his own unique, elegant, rhythmic tone: "Well, they have bright eyes like morning stars, silky smooth hair, rose-like delicate lips, milk-like The tender skin was covered with perfumes full of charm. Several counties and viscount ladies even spit out warm, moist aromas in my ears and invited me to visit their secret estate. "

The drunkard asked expectantly: "Then you go? What's it like?" Breathing became rapid.

Lucien is no stranger to such scenes. A group of men gather together and always discuss women. They listen with interest while thinking about how to ask Cohen to learn about writing.

Rhein ’s expression did not change, and he still replied with a light smile: “I told them that I do n’t like the dirty things used by others. I only love beautiful, pure, and clean lives, whether they are men or women, they Is the most delicious thing in the world. "

"Poof, Rhein, you really bragging, and ladies and ladies will accept such insults?"

"Haha, if you really say this to the court ladies, I'm afraid they have been thrown into the famous prison in Tria, hiccups."

"Those of the noble ladies, many of them have the strength of knights. If you dare to answer this, Rhein will be directly torn into pieces."

Rhein didn't care about the laughs of Cohen and the drunkard, and shrugged gently: "So, I fled from the Kingdom of Syracuse to Aalto."

Cohen threw the bar counter with a smile and woke up all the drunks, and he shouted loudly in the scolding: "Thank you for the good story compiled by Rhein, so that we can happily welcome the new day and have a drink!"

The three or four drunks were very sensitive to "toast", and immediately came to their feet, happily, stumbled, and took the ale from Cohen and held it up:

"To brag rhine, toast!"

After the coquettishness, Cohen saw that Lucien was still there and asked in surprise, "Lucien, what else do you have?"

Lucian organized the language and said carefully: "Uncle Korn, I have gone through these few days and have a little new idea. I want to learn writing."

"Yo, learning words? Has our little Lucien also been infected by the Rhine and started bragging?"

"Writing, Europe, that is a lofty and outstanding ideal!"

"Lucien, leave them alone, the man has no dreams, hiccups, it would be better to die!"

Cohen laughed for a while, then looked at Lucien: "Do you really want to learn writing? You don't have any foundation. To learn writing first, it is said that it will take at least two years. Do you have so much money and time?"

"No matter how many thorns are in front, but if you don't take this step, you will never be able to move forward. Uncle Cohen, I have already thought about it." Lucien replied seriously, and for a person who has been studying for many years, understand The most important way of learning is for an adult who can speak the world language fluently. It may take only a month or two to learn words.

Cohen saw Lucien being so serious and replied seriously: "If you are young, you can also go to the monastery to learn words and knowledge through the selection of the church. Now, you have to become an apprentice of others and sign a ten-year contract. , Or spend your own money to learn from scholars, of course, to become an apprentice to others, you may not be able to learn words, for example, many blacksmiths in the blacksmith ’s guild will not, and spend your own money, the entire Aalto is the standard price, There are more than ten scholars willing to teach five silver nars a month. "

Lucien subconsciously ruled out the method of becoming an apprentice to others. This is not a problem of a ten-year contract. Once you decide to learn magic, the contract does not need to be observed at all. You can become an apprentice and learn, eat and live with the master every day. It is easy It ’s not easy to learn magic by exposing one ’s own secrets, so Lucian asks, as if to himself, "Five silver nells?"

Cohen nodded: "Well, five silver nells, unless you are busy from morning to night every day, eating only the worst black bread, you can save enough for more than half a year, and how much can you learn in a month? Really want Go learn words? "

"Yes." Lucien replied firmly. According to this calculation, one hundred copper fairs is equivalent to one silver nar.

This is really a difficult start.
