Chapter 14, The Butterbeer Inn

After Ryan finished handling everything and took the head of the Beastman leader to the Church of Justice for a bounty, it was already dark. He followed the words of the gate guards and found the Butterbeer Hotel in the center of the town.

The streets of Karzenhaven are completely different from those of Ulan Town. Ulan Town is a small town. Most of the houses in it are typical long houses, arranged low and orderly. Karzenhaven is a medium-sized port city. The streets There are many more shops and two-story buildings in the city. The cold wind blows the ground but does not bother the residents in the city. It is still afternoon, and most of the residents are working hard. For example, the carpenter is making furniture, and the iron saw will The best logs were parted, the carpenter kept urging the apprentices to be quicker, and the sun was about to set.

Many foreign travelers and caravans were blocked in this city, and there were a lot of trucks and horses seen along the way. Ryan also noticed that many citizens' houses were rented by the caravan.

I just wish there was room at the Butterbeer Inn.

The Butter Beer Hotel is a continental hotel name, as long as many hotels that can make butter beer have this name, such as the Butter Beer Hotel in front of Ryan, this hotel was converted from a tall fortress, with a total of three floors, the top of the building It is also a high-sloping roof, the chimney on the roof is emitting black smoke, the walls are painted white, and the sign on the gate is a big wooden cup containing butter beer. This LOGO is quite eye-catching.

Entering the lobby of the hotel, it is different from the small hotel in Wulan Town. The first floor of the Butterbeer Hotel covers an area of ​​hundreds of square meters. The sets of tables and chairs inside are arranged very neatly. The area of ​​the bar is several times larger than what Ryan saw in Wulan Town. The passengers are almost full. Many people are drinking for fun, and the hall is very noisy.

Theresa sat in a corner with Wilt, the deputy head of the mercenary group, and Banda. They seemed to be intimidated by the big sword behind Wilt's back. No one dared to trouble these people. Patience, after seeing Ryan appearing, he even waved his hand actively.

Ryan went to sit behind the wooden table and asked, "Is there any room?"

"No, when we came, there were only the worst stables and thatched houses left, and there was also a luxurious private room on the third floor, which has been reserved by Ms. Trovik." Wirth said, three The ten-year-old deputy head said that the blood ax mercenary group has already settled down a big house, and the Datong shop has been paved to live in collectively.

Teresa's face was very ugly when she heard the word "big house". The sorceress took a look at it because she was curious, but it turned out how clean a group of mercenaries gathered in that messy big room, especially Khan. Teresa was almost fainted by the stench and the stench of her feet.

In other words, I can only live in a stable or hut, right? When Ryan saw Banda couldn't help but chuckle, he didn't say much. He turned to the sorceress and asked, "You'll live here that night. I'll find a place to live. You're fine by yourself. Bar?"

"Of course not. If Ms. Trovik doesn't mind, we can arrange someone to sleep at your door..." Banda said impatiently.

"No need." Teresa raised her eyebrows, and Ryan was secretly amused. How could this woman let a smelly man sleep at her door?

The four of them sat for a few minutes, and Ryan gave Wilt a little hint, meaning that he and Teresa had something to talk about, and the deputy head was very tactful, and took Banda away who was thinking about it.

Ryan changed his seat across from Teresa. The atmosphere in the tavern hall was very noisy. There were many drunks wandering around in the hall. One drunk wanted to strike up a conversation when he saw the beautiful sorceress, but he saw Ryan's The knight badge, the wine was half sober in an instant, and quickly slipped to another place.

"It's so noisy, why did you choose this place to talk?" The sorceress stretched out her slender hands wrapped in white lace gloves,

Picking up the mug on the table, which was filled with coffee mixed with milk, Ryan noticed that at some point, the sorceress changed into another set of clothes. The purple high-necked velvet long robe wrapped around her slender body In terms of posture, she is graceful and charming, graceful and luxurious, like a beautiful violet blooming by the fire.

Coffee is a crop in the south. This tropical plant can only be grown in the south. It is easy to make milk in the backcountry of Nord, but coffee beans must be carried by female sorceresses. This kind of luxury that came from the southern country across the empire is also not Ordinary people can afford to drink.

"Belt escaped, he went to sea yesterday." Ryan didn't care so much, he told Teresa the news directly: "So, do you want to continue chasing? If you don't plan to continue chasing, you can directly use The teleportation technique has returned to Sky Dome, and the rest can be left to me."

The female sorceress frowned instantly: "What are you talking about, I won't just give up like this."

"Well, if this is the case, Kaltzenhaven can't go to sea here, so we can only go south to Mjordenhaven to see if there is a chance to go to sea, but the road from Kaltzenhaven to Mjordenhaven is very dangerous, so these few days Let's take a rest today, and when you recover, I think there should be some caravans organized to go to Mijoden Haven together, and we will set off with them again, Teresa, what do you think?" Ryan spread the map on On the table, he pointed at the map and said.

Karzenhaven is surrounded by mountains to the south and north. If it weren't for the Adal River flowing into the sea here, and the flat land washed out on both sides of the river, no one would come here to live and build a city. Due to its geographical location, this port city has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack. Due to the erosion of ancient glaciers, the terrain here is very complicated, with fjords and mountain peaks everywhere, which makes this port only need a small amount of garrison to ensure safety, and it is also beneficial to resist pirates.

There are advantages and disadvantages. The traffic in Kaltzenhaven is not very developed. There are only three roads from this port city surrounded by mountains to the largest port city in the Nord Kingdom, Mjödenhaven, which is blocked when going out to sea. In this case, there are only two roads left—either go back the same way and take the Nord King’s capital, Winter City, which is a very long road, or cross Hordaland Mountain and Scarville Mountain to see the largest Nord The estuary of the inland river Ovre, where is the largest port on the west coast of Nord, Mjodenhaven.

This is the troublesome place. Neither Hordaland Mountain nor Scarville Mountain is a safe place. There are many bandits and goblin tribes who occupy the mountain as kings. It is said that there are still a small number of Chaos Beastmen , Those terrifying toe splitters are extremely powerful. Generally, as long as there are more than 30 Chaos Beastmen in a battle group, the Nord Kingdom must dispatch regular troops to eliminate them.

"There is an abandoned fortress on the peak of Scarville Mountain. It is said that it is now occupied by the Goblin tribe. If I go by myself, I can go around the long way or even swim through the glacier, but with so many of us, we must If you have to go over the mountain and pass the fortress, you may have to attack the city." Ryan pointed his finger on the map, and Teresa noticed that there was indeed a fortress marked on Scarville Mountain, and a Goblin tribe was also marked on it.

"Well, I think you're right. No matter whether you storm the fortress or not, there are too many dangers along the way." Teresa is not a person who doesn't listen to opinions. As long as she has the strength to make her face up to it, she is willing to listen to others the opinion of.

Just like the man in front of him, he took off his gloves, exposed his hands directly to the flames of the fireplace, and then took a baked potato out of it.

The man's palm was covered with scars, and the flames burned in his palm for a long time but hardly left any burn marks, even without turning red, as if those flames were fake.

But baked potatoes are not fake.

Extraordinary physique! Ryan, who is under twenty-five years old this year, already possesses an extraordinary physique!

Teresa began to recall her mother's teachings. As we all know, warriors are the worst profession on this continent, the profession with the largest number of people, and the best profession to find a job. About 40% of the total number of fighters has short legs, short hands, bulky and no magic or spells. Generally, in mercenary teams and adventure teams, fighters also have a very low status and are often regarded as consumables.

In many missions, rangers are shooting from a distance, rogues are hiding in the dark looking for opportunities, priests, bards, and monks are all able to use magic spells or have escape skills. Only fighters must fight first from beginning to end. They are the ones who get the most injuries, the ones who get the least points, and they are the ones who are left behind and abandoned when the situation is not good at critical moments.

Soldiers are such a difficult profession. Most of the fighters with a very large population base die before they advance to the elite. Even if they advance to the elite, there are only a few who can become knights. Although the great swordsman has a higher status, he is still a high-level cannon fodder in essence, and he still fights hand-to-hand, and still suffers heavy casualties.

But after the legend, the warrior becomes completely different.

Advanced legendary fighters will undergo radical changes, and they will gain a powerful talent "extraordinary physique".

Extraordinary Physique, as the name suggests, is an unparalleled physical enhancement. Ordinary weapons will no longer be able to harm them. Their bodies will become harder than the best quality leather armor, and they will begin to show strong magic resistance. , the effects of magic below the fourth ring will become very weak on them. Legendary warriors can often be seen catching fireballs with their bare hands. With the cooperation of divine arts, the regeneration of severed limbs can be realized.

Therefore, after reaching the legendary stage, the warrior profession will change from the lowest status profession to the second most popular profession after spellcasters. However, the proportion of fighters who can survive to the legendary stage is too small. At the legendary level, they are a legend in themselves.

So what about Sanctuary?

In a word, Harald Frank, the Nord king of the Sanctuary Order, can bathe in magma.

A legendary fighter is an ideal partner for a spellcaster, and Teresa doesn't dislike Ryan. The light blue energy on him makes the sorceress feel very comfortable, so she will consider Ryan's suggestion.

The legendary class is not invincible against the ordinary class and the elite class. For example, there is a famous story on the mainland. A drunk legendary sword master was backstabbed by an ordinary wanderer with a refined iron dagger. Ended his life, but generally speaking, legendary powerhouses are very popular wherever they go. They represent advanced combat power and core combat power. Whether an army has legendary powerhouses leading combat power is completely different.

"What about you? Are you really going to sleep in the stable? Maybe you can go and ask the lord." After chatting for a while, Teresa suddenly talked about Ryan's accommodation.

A pair of wonderful eyes looked straight at Ryan, Ryan didn't understand what this woman was thinking, so he teased: "Why, you also come to care about a stinky man like me who only knows how to ride horses and hack and kill?"

"You are not that kind of person. You can read all the books in the Nord Library in a few years. Your knowledge is no worse than mine, and I don't have the heart to quarrel with you. How you save money is your business. You All you have to do is plan your departure." The sorceress sipped the milky coffee and said that this was just a casual question, and it doesn't matter to me that you sleep in the kennel at night.

Now it was Ryan's turn to be a little unhappy, so the Kingdom Knight didn't say anything. The hotel owner quickly brought out dinner, toasted bread, a pot of vegetable stew, a whole grilled fish and a plate of black pepper beef. It was worth fifteen silver dinars, and Ryan gestured for the two to eat together.

So under the cheap oil lamp, the two of them finished their dinner, and neither of them said a word during the whole dinner.

After dinner, Ryan left lightly, and the figure of the kingdom knight walked straight into the dark wind and snow outside, without knowing where he was going.

Teresa's eyes followed Ryan's figure until he disappeared from sight, and then she regretted a little, and she used to speak in a tone of calling out to servants again.

She just stepped into the legendary stage a few months ago, and the age of 27 or 18 is considered very fast among human beings, but this is nothing compared to Ryan. When did Ryan enter the legendary stage? Leisa didn't know, but it definitely wasn't recently, because the aura on his body was already very stable, stable at the level of the legendary elementary level.

When it comes to legendary strength, who wants to be managed like a servant or an ordinary soldier? Although my mother is kind to the Ryan family, this is not an excuse for me to put on a high profile in front of him one after another.

I have to change my attitude, otherwise the companionship with him is destined to be difficult for a long time. Compared with others known by the sorceress, Ryan is young, handsome, strong, and knows how to take care of others. She saves face, and the sorceress knows that Ryan has done a good job, because she is used to the fine clothes and food at home, and the way of dealing with things like a big lady.

Inside is a warm hotel lobby, and outside is icy and snowy, like two worlds.
