Chapter 204 Someone Fart
Xin'an Castle is a fortress located near Ningcheng on the edge of the Dragon Armor Mountains. Like the famous Demon-Driving Castle dozens of miles away, this Xin'an Castle is also a human settlement outside the Dragon Armor Mountains. However, the owner of Xin'an Castle is not as exaggerated as the neighbor next door. The name is much lower-key, and contains blessings to adventurers who entered the Dragon Armor Mountains for the first time.
Xin'an Inn is the largest inn in Xin'anbao. The reason why he was able to grab the name "Xinan" is not because the store has any relatives with the owner of Xin'anbao, but because he came early.
With this name, Xin'an Inn's business has always been the best among the inns in Xin'anburg. Of course, such a good business also benefits from the famous specialty food in Xin'an Inn. Often, before the meal time, Xin'an Inn is full.
Today is no exception.
It was still half an hour before lunch time, and Xin'an Inn was full of guests who came to improve their quality of life while taking risks.
It is said that the seats are full, but in fact, most of the guests occupying the seats. A strong man is guarding the table with eight people. If someone comes up to ask, the strong man will only answer "wait for friends". There are so many such things, and later people without seats will inevitably be annoyed, and there will be some small friction and disputes in the store from time to time.
Fortunately, the owner of this store is good at smoothing out the situation, and the waiters hired are smart, and they can often turn big things into small things. In general, the atmosphere in the store is quite harmonious.
Guests come in and out, come and go quickly. There is no way, these adventurers who are seeking life on the edge of the Longjia Mountains do not have so much time to waste, and many people will get new gains when walking in the Longjia Mountains for a moment. The matter of eating can save a little time.
"Unfortunate! It's so bad luck for his grandma!" A strong man who had just bitten a bite of beef sauce could not help but punch the solid wooden table before he swallowed the beef. "Three days! I haven't gained anything in three days! It's so bad luck for his grandma! It's so bad luck for his grandma! It's so bad luck for his day!"
This is not just his trouble.
As soon as the strong man complained, the originally active atmosphere in the inn suddenly became cold. Yes, for those of the lower-level adventurers who were backing Ningcheng and seeking life on the edge of the Longjia Mountains, life was indeed getting harder and harder.
"Oh! That guy over there, don't be discouraged. I haven't gained anything for three days. Not to mention that we adventurers in the Condensing Realm have not gained anything, even those experts in the Condensing Realm are unlucky, and it is common for them to not gain in three or two days. Come on, to toast you this bowl of wine, and after drinking it, let's go out and try your luck." An adventurer sitting in the other corner of the inn raised the wine bowl in his hand and toasted the strong man far away.
"This life is really not something that humans live..." An old adventurer shook his head and sighed, "This is forcing our Xin'anbao to learn from the people of the Demon-Elimination Castle to do some robbery..."
"To talk about this, I have to blame the damn Lang family! I did a big fucking sweeping, hunting most of the monsters on the edge of the Dragon Armor Mountains! Do we still want to live a life? The most annoying thing is that I heard that they hunted so many monsters just to hold a feast for their young master. Is his grandma really fucking him to death. Can he eat so many monsters by himself?! When the Hu family managed Ningcheng in the past, there was no such a bad thing! Is this a fucking thing done by humans?!" An adventurer said excitedly and slapped the table angrily, rushing to Ningcheng to fight with the Lang family.
"Shh! Sigh down! Are you looking for death?!" The others at the same table with him hurriedly grabbed him, let him sit down, and looked around vigilantly, afraid that Ning Cheng's eyeliner would be around.
The change of ownership in Ningcheng did not have much impact on them, the adventurers who were relying on Ningcheng to make a living. Who knew that the practice of the new owner of Ningcheng Lang family was simply unlimited, making their lives difficult all of a sudden.
It is said that the Lang family has managed Yuecheng for hundreds of years?
They can't imagine what kind of life the people of Yuecheng who have been managed by such managers for hundreds of years will live.
"Oh... But even in the most difficult years, there are always people who have lived well. Now, the Tianzi No. 1 Room in Xin'an Inn has been living for half a month. Tsk tsk... Although the food in Xin'an Inn is cheap, the hotel is not cheap. If you can live for half a month, you can live for half a month. Is it the best in our Xin'an Castle?" An adventurer pointed to the Tianzi No. 1 Room upstairs and said with sigh.
"Maybe they are lucky and gain a lot? I can't envy this. Let's think about where to earn the next meal after eating this meal." Other adventurers at the same table seemed not interested in other people's generousness.
Seeing that everyone was depressed, the shop owner walked to the middle of the inn with his signature smile, clapped his hands, and attracted everyone's attention to him.
"Ahem!" The shop owner cleared his throat and raised his voice. "Today is the 50th birthday of my little brother. Thank you for coming to the shop today! Thank you for your support for the shop! Today, the food in the shop is half price, and the wine is also calculated for everyone! However, the best fruit brew cannot be half price. You know, the little brother has never made any money on this food, wine and water. If you even the best fruit brew is half price, after you go back, my fierce woman will definitely cut off the little brother's head. By then, everyone will never taste the skills of my little brother again."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The shop owner said something interesting, which made everyone laugh and sigh just now. As for the half price of wine and food, it was a real benefit. For a moment, the atmosphere in the inn became lively again, and blessings were heard one after another, most of which were words like "Blessings are as blessed as the East China Sea and longevity is better than the South Mountain". Although the words were simple, the blessings were sincere and there was nothing false.
Seeing that everyone's mood improved, the shop owner nodded with satisfaction and returned to the back of the counter with a smile.
Just as the atmosphere was eased, a disharmonious voice suddenly came from the door of the store: "Oh! I didn't expect that you people in Xin'anbao would have a happy life. I thought you should have become poor as dogs, and begged all over the street with a sad face."
This sound immediately aroused public anger. Almost all the guests in the inn stopped eating and turned their heads angrily toward the inn gate!
"Who the hell is farting?!"
At the focus of everyone's angry eyes, a middle-aged man who was one head taller than an ordinary person stepped into Xin'an Inn with a contemptuous smile.
The man's clothes were astonishingly exaggerated, and several bright colors were mixed and matched inconsistently on the simple-style long gown. In the entire Totem Continent, no tailor would take the initiative to make such clothes. The only possibility is to make special customizations at the customer's request.
What is more exaggerated than the color of his clothes is the defensive inner armor he wore outside!
As we all know, defending inner armor is for the purpose of saving lives at critical moments. As long as you are not a fool, you will wear inner armor in your clothes, causing the opponent to misjudgment his defense. If you wear inner armor outside, only this middle-aged man can do this behavior.
Behind the middle-aged man, more than a dozen fully armed adventurers were followed.
Compared with the poor equipment of adventurers like New Anburg, these dozen people can be called elites armed to their teeth.
After seeing the face of the middle-aged man, the adventurers who were angrily trying to find out the provocationists were desperately silent and froze in place.
Each of them knew this face! The owner and waiter of Xin'an Inn, who rarely leave Xin'anburg, also knew this face.
A little guy turned his eyes and smiled flatteringly and greeted him: "Oh! Isn't this Mr. Zhang from the Demon-Driving Castle? What kind of wind is blowing you to the shop? Come on, Mr. Zhang, there is a seat inside, sit inside."
The "Zhang Master" mentioned by the waiter is Zhang Xiong, one of the notorious local snakes in the "bad neighbor" next to Xin'an Castle. Zhang Xiong is famous for his arrogance and domineeringness. In addition to committing evil in the area of the Demon-Driving Fortress, he will come to Xin'an Castle from time to time to bully the honest people here.
Recently, the adventurers in Xin'an Castle are in a more and more difficult situation, and Zhang Xiong often runs here to show off his majesty. Anyway, Zhang Xiong's main income is to rob people who enter the Dragon Armor Mountains from near the Demon-Destroying Fortress. Whether there are more or few monsters in the Dragon Armor Mountains has little impact on him.
Zhang Xiong glanced at the waiter with a cold smile on his face, suddenly raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and slapped the waiter with a slap!
"roll!"
Seeing that the waiter was spinning around the air like a top and knocking over several tables and stools in a mess, the minion behind Zhang Xiong couldn't help laughing out loud: "What a fool! Before Mr. Zhang could speak, he dared to come up with him on his own initiative. Isn't this a beating?"
Faced with Zhang Xiong's arrogant attitude of almost trampling people's dignity on the ground, the people in Xin'an Inn dared not speak out, let alone resist.
Regardless of the dozen well-armed Yingjing Realm minions behind Zhang Xiong, even Zhang Xiong himself, the adventurers present are not opponents. You should know that Zhang Xiong is a real middle-level Tongtai realm strongman and one of the strongest people in the nearby area. These Yingjing Realm adventurers have no power to fight back against Zhang Xiong.
Such a huge gap in strength? How do they resist?
"Zhang Xiong, it's okay if you are doing whatever you want in the Demon-Driving Castle. Today, I actually bullied our Xin'an Castle. Are you bullying me, Xin'an Castle, and no one is there?" An adventurer mustered up the courage to say a tough word, stared at Zhang Xiong, trying his best to restrain his timidity and fear.
"There is no one who bullies you Xin'anbao? Haha! Joke! Are there anyone in Xin'anbao?!" Zhang Xiong laughed twice, waved his sleeves, and swung out a strong and powerful energy, accurately hitting the man who dared to speak hard in front of him, and used the man as a top and pulled him out.
"Why is there no one?" Another adventurer from Xin'anbao mustered up the courage, "Do you know that the guest of Room 1, Tianzi in Xin'an Inn has been living for half a month. I believe you understand what this means! Such financial resources, even if you are Zhang Xiong, aren't much worse? How do you say that I am Xin'anbao?!"
"Oh? And this person is still there?" Zhang Xiong became interested and looked up at the location of Room 1 in Tianzi. "But don't worry, soon his money will become mine."
At this moment, a lazy voice with a little doubt came out of Room No. 1, above the building—
