Chapter 142: The Reputation of the Pompeii Family (Part 2) (Fourth Update)

John, who had always been down and out, actually took out a gold coin to buy "deep blue wine", which was surprising.

Not only this was a regular customer, but other people who were familiar with John also showed surprise.

Those women who were serving wine and doing sex business with plates looked at John with bold and passionate eyes.

This was the charm of gold coins.

John suddenly became the focus of the whole tavern.

John picked up the red wine and shook it gently, then smelled it and finally took a sip. After drinking it, his handsome face showed an intoxicated look. I don’t know how many years he hasn’t drunk such high-end wine.

After a while, John answered the question of this regular customer with a radiant face, saying: "A big man sponsored me with a large sum of gold coins to let me settle down and write my poems. You know, poetry, such an elegant literature, cannot be written without a stable environment."

John's face and body exuded the breath of a poet, and he became tall and noble in an instant.

But the guests who knew what kind of bards were curled their lips and thought in their hearts.

"Old John got lucky. I don't know where he kidnapped a noble lady, so he can be so generous. As for the large amount of funds, it's just the maintenance fee."

It has to be admitted that there is a little jealousy in the hearts of the drinkers. Some people make a living with their bodies, and some make a living with their faces.

And people who make a living with their faces often live a more comfortable life.

John looked at the envious and jealous eyes cast around him, and his heart was a little floating. He hadn't enjoyed such treatment for many years.

It was really comfortable.

John took a deep breath and suppressed the thought of floating. Because he finally remembered the serious matter, John pretended to be very calm and said: "Let's not talk about this matter first. Recently, something big and small happened in Orange. Do you know?"

"What happened?" John successfully attracted the attention of the guests in the tavern. At this moment, a guest couldn't help asking.

Only the boss was quietly wiping the wine glass with a cloth behind the bar. Although the wine glass was already very clean, he was still wiping it.

The boss knew that John's main job was a bard. The literal meaning of a bard is very clear.

Bard, poet.

Traveling around the world with a mouth, living with a mouth, whether down and out or rising to prominence, a poet is just a part-time job. As for being kept, it has only become popular in recent decades.

In the early days, bards made a living with their mouths.

The boss looked at John's actions after entering the tavern and knew what John was going to do. But he didn't care. Anyway, as long as there were guests in the tavern, it would become a news distribution center.

A good place to publicize things and get intelligence.

John is not the first, and he will not be the last.

"The famous Autumn Wind Bandits were destroyed. You should know that this bandit group is a famous and large bandit group. The leader is a senior knight named Omima. It is said that he is only one step away from becoming a great knight. He has more than 50 intermediate knights, more than 100 junior knights, and two wizards under his command."

John said in an exaggerated tone.

The boss paused while wiping the cup. As an informant, he knew about this bandit group. He was sure that John himself had improved the strength of the Autumn Wind Bandits.

As far as he knew, although the Autumn Wind Bandits were also a large bandit group in Orange, their strength should be in the middle and lower reaches.

Not as exaggerated as John said.

But only the boss knew it so clearly. Most people didn't know what the Autumn Wind Bandits were. They just had a preliminary understanding from John's mouth.

This was a powerful large bandit group.

And such a bandit group was actually destroyed.

"Such a powerful bandit group was actually wiped out? Did the Count of Libya send out the army?" A guest exclaimed.

The other guests were also shocked.

John saw that the guests had taken the bait, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, then shook his head and said, "It was the Pompeii family who did it."

"Pompeii family? I haven't heard of it." The guests shook their heads to show that they didn't know. This was normal. Before this, who would know about a small knight family in the countryside of Patton County.

And promoting the Pompeii family is John's job.

John said with a respectful expression and a respectful tone: "The Pompeii family is a great family. The Pompeii knights of all generations are powerful and brave great knights."

"Pompeii Knights??? Is this a knight family?" The guests couldn't help but say in surprise, and they also suddenly realized that it was a knight family. No wonder they had never heard of it.

Because there are so many knight families in Orange, there may be seven or eight hundred.

Who can remember them one by one?

"It is indeed a knight family. The Pompey Knights of all generations are powerful vassals under Baron Patton." John nodded.

"I have heard of Baron Baron. He is a middle-lower noble in the whole Orange Province. I believe that he sent troops to eliminate the Autumn Wind Bandits, but a knight family."

"Yes, I have only heard that a noble sent troops to eliminate a large bandit group, but I have never heard that a knight family actually sent troops to eliminate a knight group."

"I don't quite believe that a small knight family is so powerful."

The guests talked about it, and more or less showed doubts.

"What's surprising? The Morgan Knight Family and the Jones Knight Family, aren't they both powerful knight families?" John showed his ignorance and said in a contemptuous tone.

The guests were speechless for a while. The knight families listed by John were indeed the famous knight families in Orange. Although they were not real nobles, their strength alone might be comparable to that of the bottom-ranked Orange nobles.

These knight families are often the important officials of the leading nobles in Orange.

"This generation of Pompeii knights is nicknamed "Golden Lion Thor" because he fights bravely, like a lion, so he got this nickname. He is a senior knight."

"The Pompeii family is a powerful family that is developing into a top knight family. Now it has more than 30 knights, a wizard, and is building a city."

John said in a respectful tone.

"So that's it." The guests suddenly realized it. But then there were also guests who were puzzled: "Even if it is as you said, John, the Pompeii family has strong strength, but it is not as good as the Autumn Wind Thieves Group. How did the Pompeii family wipe out the Autumn Wind Thieves Group?"

"Yes, this strength is not comparable to the Autumn Wind Thieves Group." Other guests also woke up and were extremely suspicious.

"Of course, according to the strength of the Pompeii family, it is not as good as the Autumn Wind Thieves Group, so they used 100,000 gold coins to hire the Sabertooth Tiger Mercenary Group, and the two sides jointly wiped out the Autumn Wind Thieves Group."

John was prepared for this, and even hoped that the topic would develop in this direction, so he said it clearly.

Here comes the fourth update. Please vote for recommendation.
