Chapter 3144 Drunk

Invisible pretense is the most deadly.

The three people could not lift it up, and the knife that slipped from one person's waist was actually easily picked up by one hand. In the eyes of this group of adventurers, this scene was simply more terrifying than a savage beast.

All the adventurers present could not help but be stunned. Then, the poor deputy fell to the ground again because his companions fell into a sluggish state, and let out a heart-rending scream.

The companions were awakened by the screams and quickly helped him up. This time, everyone did not look at me. They all lowered their heads and got busy with their hands and feet. After everything that should be checked was checked, the group Everyone ran away, including their leader.

However, except for the moment when I picked up the sword, which seemed moved and dull, the leader's posture seemed relatively calm and calm at other times. Before leaving, he did not forget to say goodbye to me.

After sending away the city guards and closing the door, they saw the blue witch lying on the bed with an angry look on her face. Her eyebrows were raised, her cheeks were bulging, and her face was full of displeasure.

He came closer and pinched her little nose: "Why are you so angry?"

"Those guys are simply disgusting!" The Blue Witch was very displeased and said, "The attitude of questioning is like questioning a prisoner!"

"Interrogating the prisoner?" I asked with a smile, "Have you seen the prisoner?"

The blue witch squinted at me: "What do you think?"

I instantly remembered her past experience, and couldn't help but slap my forehead: "Oh, blame me, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to mention the past."

"snort!"

The blue witch turned her head away and did not continue to pester me, but it seemed that she would not talk to me today.

In a flash, the sky gradually darkened.

Seeing that the adventurers on the street were huffing and puffing and going home to eat, I slipped downstairs and went to the vegetable shop and butcher shop to buy some vegetables and meat. On the way back, I bought a few bottles with me. Good wine, some peanuts and other snacks, and went back to the hotel in a hurry.

I happened to meet the boss at the door who was sitting with a small matzha and looking at the scenery. I handed him the wine and food to go with the wine, and then carried the vegetables and meat upstairs.

I was still in charge of dinner. Although my frying and frying skills were not very good, the rare thing was that the dishes were novel and the Blue Witch had never tasted them before, so she also ate this dinner with great splendor. .

After dinner, the Blue Witch continued to laze in bed, while I went downstairs to meet the boss for a drink.

After three rounds of drinking, the boss' chat box opened up, and all kinds of inner thoughts that he usually dare not say came out.

Under the influence of alcohol, he vigorously complained about the inaction of the city lord and the major nobles. Not only did he allow civil strife to occur, but he also took advantage of the chaos to impose security taxes. He was simply the most vicious vampire.

Today, he came to the hotel to check the rooms one by one. Just for this matter, he paid the leader of the city guard a lot of money.

At this point, he drank it down boldly, saying that he really didn't want to live such a life. If he didn't have a wife and children to support, and parents to support, he would have packed up his clothes and slipped away to Lincheng.

I think the Lincheng he mentioned probably refers to the town guarded by the Infernal One Iqi.

So I asked him out of curiosity: "Since you have this idea, why didn't you leave earlier so as not to suffer this injustice?"

The boss gave a wry smile and said, "I would like to, but with such a big business like mine, many people are watching. If I really choose to leave, most likely it will be divided up by the city lord and the nobles. What can be left to me will not be enough." Only a pitiful amount of money."

"You haven't thought about transferring your property?" I asked curiously: "Secretly transfer part of your money, as long as it can meet your most basic requirements for making a living in another town."

The boss shook his head: "Transferring property? Easier said than done!"

He sighed and said angrily: "You see, I am making a living on my own, but in fact there are a lot of eyes watching me. The accountants here and the people in charge of the warehouse are all their people, and they are all checking to see if you have done something secretive." The act of transferring property!”

"It's really not an easy life for you."

"Isn't that right?" He smiled bitterly: "To put it bluntly, these vampires probably know all about my family's finances. They just see my family spending money in the city all the time, so they don't care about it. We, once we leave the town, those families will definitely be divided up by them for various reasons, bah! These bastards!"

The boss's hand holding the wine glass was trembling. I was afraid that he would drop the wine glass. This thing is made of glass and is transparent. If it falls on the ground, it will be difficult to deal with. If it pricks my foot, where can I cry? ?

I can't say much about my boss's tragic situation, not even words of comfort.

After all, I can't tell him: At worst, I'm going to give up my family property, but I can still keep the green hills, so why don't I worry about running out of firewood?

However, this kind of useless nonsense makes even me feel embarrassed when I hear it, let alone the boss who is involved in it.

I shut up and drank and ate food honestly, listening to the boss continue to nag and complain.

The boss's nagging mostly concerns the hotel's management, and his complaints also mostly come from the nobles who patronize the hotel.

The noble gentlemen are fine. As long as you take good care of them, the reward will never be less. But those young noble gentlemen are very naughty. It is a trivial matter not to pay for accommodation in a hotel. Sometimes, after recruiting prostitutes, they even ask for help. The hotel pays the bill for them, which is outrageous.

But too much is too much, but the hotel owner dares to be angry but dare not speak out. After all, these people are all gentlemen. If they don't serve you happily, old scores will be raised in the future, and they may not be able to trouble the hotel owner.

Of course, punishments such as death penalty and imprisonment will not occur. After all, this hotel is one of the best in this town. It makes a lot of money and pays a lot of taxes. Therefore, the life safety of the boss and his family can still be affected by the city owner. You are protected by adults, but today I smash your window, tomorrow I beat your child, and the day after tomorrow I throw a dead mouse at your door. I will disgust you with such things. After a long time, you won't be able to stand it. ah.

So adhering to the principle of minimizing big things and minimizing small things, the hotel owner could only swallow his anger and do things he didn't want to do.

This has been going on for a long time, and naturally he has been pent up in his heart. Now he finally has an outlet. Coupled with the drunkenness, how can he continue to pretend to be an honest person, so he just pours beans into his mouth and tells what happened to him. All the evil deeds were poured out.

As an outsider, I can't personally experience this feeling, but from the angry expression on my boss's face, I can feel the anger he has accumulated for a long time.

But to vent is to vent, and to complain is to complain, but I have never seen a trace of backlash from the boss's face. It seems that in his consciousness, all this is actually natural, but he can't stand it.

Could it be that after being oppressed for too long, you have lost your backbone?
