"I went out to study for a period of time. I just finished my homework recently, so I came back to take a look."
"Oh? What did you study? "Kenneth was very interested.
"The History of the Continent." The young man said calmly. However, mages were a group of people who believed that knowledge was power. Most mages spent their entire lives studying. Under the tutelage of orthodox academic mages like Steins and Demain, Rob had also dabbled in a wide range of subjects. It was not easy for him to be exposed by saying that.
"That's amazing." The knight praised from the bottom of his heart.
The drunkard next to them could not stand the two's endless small talk. He rushed up and interrupted them. "F * ck, what are you talking about? Can't you see that I'm going to beat someone up? Irrelevant people, get lost!"
"Wait a moment." Kenneth smiled apologetically at the young man.
"It's okay. You go ahead with your work." Rob said and moved aside. However, he did not go too far. He also wanted to see how the knight usually worked.
"It'll be soon. I'm almost done with this matter. Let's go for a drink then." Kenneth invited.
"Sure." Rob agreed readily. After that, he saw the knight quickly enter into work mode. He put on a serious expression and turned to the drunkard. "According to the 15th article of the new public security regulations of Ryan Town, drunkards will be punished with three days of hard labor. Your Honor, please come with us."
The drunkard laughed. "Hahahahaha, trying to scare me? Don't you know that I grew up being scared? Back when I was panning for gold in Stourd, you were still drinking milk somewhere. Do you really think you're a warrior just because you put on this armor? "
"Since you've been to so many places, all the more you should abide by the local laws." Kenneth sighed. After that, he rushed in front of the target with lightning speed. The drunkard was still bragging about his glorious achievements in the past. Before he could react, his right arm was already in the other's hand.
"Have a good rest. We'll talk when you wake up." With a clean back throw from the knight, the drunkard's head collided with the ground. The drunkard let out a blood-curdling screech, then closed his eyes and fainted.
Someone whistled. The surrounding mercenaries could not help but clap for the Guard captain's good skills.
"Take him back and throw him in the dungeon. He needs to wake up." Kenneth said to the two young guards behind him.
"Yes, Captain."
Kenneth took off the black armor he was wearing. It was a gift from his father when he became a Grade 1 Apprentice Knight. Back then, the mayor hired the best blacksmith in the town to forge for two months to make this equipment. Kenneth loved it and did not forget to clean and maintain it every day.
He asked the two guards to bring the drunkard and his armor back to the garrison. After that, he patted Robb on the shoulder. "Let's go. What do you want to drink? You came back just in time. Ryan has a lot of new stuff recently."
This place has changed so much that I almost can't recognize it, "Rob lamented.
"Yeah, it's only been half a year since the underground city was discovered. Ryan seems to change every day. Not to mention you, sometimes I get confused walking on the streets." Kenneth pushed open the door of the tavern and almost knocked into a half-elf. The half-elf was about to scold him, but when he saw that it was the Guard captain, he swallowed his words and walked away dejectedly.
"There are so many unfamiliar faces. It's really worrying." Kenneth's eyes were full of worry. "It's okay now. After all, the underground city has only been open for half a year. The people who came to Ryan are just ordinary adventurers, and the most powerful ones are Grade 1 or 2 professionals. The Guard can manage them. In a few years, when the upper levels are almost developed, there will be experts appearing one after another. I'm afraid that Ryan will become more and more restless. I've written a letter to Lord Duke, asking him to send more people … Ah, sorry, I wanted to ask you about your experiences over the years, but I've said too much."
The Guard captain was a little embarrassed. "Anyway, everyone's life is much better than before. Ryan is also getting better. We have no reason to complain about this."
"Yes, yes, you're right."
The tavern was very lively. This was the favorite place of The Brave. Even late at night, it was still crowded. In addition, the boss was very business-minded. He specially hired a few scantily clad feline girls to act as wine trailers. Every day, many lustful mercenaries would drink themselves into bankruptcy. However, the girls were very smart and knew who they could target. They definitely wouldn't provoke a local tyrant like Kenneth.
The Guard captain held the long wine list as though he wanted to see a flower on it. But after staring for a long time, he didn't know what to order. Although he had been managing the security of this area, he was ashamed to say that he had never been to this tavern. Firstly, he had been busy recently, so he needed to stay awake at all times. Secondly, Kenneth's other half was a devout believer. She was very strict with him and forbade him from entering such places. For this reason, the Guard captain was often secretly laughed at by his subordinates.
But now that he had met Rob, whom he hadn't seen in years, Kenneth had to treat the youth to a drink no matter what. Besides, he had previously announced that he would let Rob try something new, but he didn't expect there to be so many new things. He had never heard of most of the names on the wine list and didn't know what to order, afraid that he would accidentally make a fool of himself.
Rob seemed to have noticed Kenneth's embarrassment, so he pointed to an elven wine called Holy Night Poem and said, "I'm in luck. I've always wanted to try this."
Kenneth felt as though he had been pardoned. He closed the wine list and turned to the waiter. "Did you hear that? We'll drink this tonight."
"Okay." The waiter took the wine list, and a trace of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes. The owner of this tavern, Adventurer's Heart, was not an ordinary person. His biggest hobby was to collect fine wines. Therefore, the wine list of Adventurer's Heart was at least three times longer than other taverns. Moreover, each wine didn't have a price tag. This was to make it easier for the beautiful cat girls in the tavern to swindle fools. But other than that, it was also to test the taste of the drinkers.
Compared to other unscrupulous taverns, the owner of Adventurer's Heart was a man of principle. He wouldn't fake the price of the wine. He only earned a third of the price of each wine. The elven wine that the youth had ordered was called Holy Night Poem. In terms of rarity, it could be ranked in the top five of the wine list. However, it was only a little more expensive than ordinary wine. It tasted good too. It was considered the most cost-effective wine in Adventurer's Heart.
